20世纪80年代中国内地影视业矛盾初探

A Preliminary Observation of the Conflict in the Film and TV Industries in China's Mainland in the 1980s

20世纪80年代,中国内地电视事业发展迅速,从国家层面看,电视逐渐取代电影成为国家进行宣传和向人民群众提供文化公共品的主要方式;从观众层面看,看电视也逐渐取代看电影成为更现代、便捷乃至便宜的文化娱乐生活方式。因此,一方面,国家有关部门区别对待电影业和电视业;另一方面,电影观众人次特别是城镇电影院观众人次持续大幅减少。这是20世纪80年代以来中国内地电影业面临的最大挑战,也是电影业开始走向衰落的最重要的原因之一。

In the 1980 s,the TV industry in China's Mainland began to flourish.From the perspective of the country,TV came to replace the movies to be the major means adopted by the government to publicize and offer the public cultural goods to the masses.From the perspective of the audiences,watching TV gradually substituted going to the cinema,becoming the more modern,convenient and less expensive lifestyle of cultural entertainments.Therefore,the film industry was treated differently from the TV industry by some national departments while the number of film audiences,especially that in the cities,continued to decrease dramatically.This is the biggest challenge that the film industry in China's Mainland has faced since the 1980 s,and also one of the causes for its decline.
