是的,要取消screen quota 这个很早就听说了,也听说李沧东因此要辞职。

Personally I support maintaining the screen quota as is, and it caught me by surprise that Lee Chang-Dong, the minister of culture and tourism, and a long-time supporter of screen quota system, suddenly announced a possible plan to reduce the screen quota, esp. at a time when artists and entertainers in general are already unhappy about his soon-to-come (involuntary) resignation.

. P7 M" ]; h- n2 t! @& y I personally feel that although the screen quota is important in protecting a cinema from near-annihilation, once a cinema is strong, it's not necessary to have a strong quota. I'm in favor of a sliding scale quota that will reduce and increase itself as necessary. Right now, since Korean film is so strong, I think it could benefit from some competition.

Now hold on a bit! Before you forum trolls decide to write knee-jerk tirades, and hear me out. The way I see it is this;

' N2 E/ J" v+ z2 s
- This creates an opportunity for Korean film. There is a demand for film now that won't be met, because that hole was usually filled by US film.# e- t3 I B" Z
" G0 k' a: w' H" K0 V. o
- Demand for hole to be filled results in many films being made.
3 ~! w# Y) C! B0 s8 O1 \ ~4 c' y0 g- B, k1 R
- Of course the usual commercial hollywood-rip-offs are made, but due to the need for a lot of film, a lot of film that is both original, and very KOREAN in nature are made and released as well, mixed in with all the commercial films.
2 C6 k5 ?+ H, A/ [1 L" ?" r( `' E- o4 w$ E0 r& o% L3 _: T- T
- Sure enough Korean films begins to turn into little Hollywood. Sad. But the upside is that ticket sales are up, and everyone feels bloated and cocky. While stuff like Tube, My Wife is Gangster 4: My Sassy Tutor from Heaven's Garden, My Sassy Girl 5: The Domestic Abuse Years, and Sex is Zero 3 is being cranked out on an assembly line, and being released to gobs of screens, the demand for film continues to rise and so film is needed! Any film will do! And so films like Oasis, Art Museum by the Zoo, Failan, and Green Fish, enjoy this cushion and actually managed to get on to screens.

- So the quota goes away...and the competition starts. Korean films do okay at first, they win for a while, holding their own market share, until competition becomes stiffer and stiffer. Korean studios have less money so they take less risks. Movie investors take less risks. So we get My Sassy Girl 13: Yo Biatch!, and films like Christmas in August will never see the light of day.

- But wait, they promise to protect Art films! Yeah...ok...sure...and Americans are open-minded about trying kimchi! So now with the market filled with nothing bout My Zero Tutor: R U Ready? Everyone goes on patting themselves on the back and feeling good about themselves, while any film makers worth a salt in Korea move to another country.

From first signs, I find it very encouraging that more support is being offered for art/experimental films. I read this as inclusive of not just the Euro-arthouse style filmmakers but also and more importantly the modernist and avant-garde practitioners who find it tough to get a release anywhere. My hope is that rather than caving in on the screen quota issue the Ministry negotiates a reduction in exchange for much increased support programme funds.
