Xue Zhiqian's "screen shooting" incident sparked heated discussions: where is the etiquette of watching movies in theaters?
With the successful conclusion of the Spring Festival stalls in 2024, the good news that the total box office in 8 days exceeded 8 billion came, and the box office record of the Spring Festival stalls in Chinese film history was refreshed again. However, in addition to this celebration, a controversy about "screen photography" has also intensified on the Internet. On the afternoon of February 15, the well-known singer Xue Zhiqian shared his feelings about the Spring Festival movie "Flying Life 2" on social platforms, and attached three movie pictures shot during the viewing process. This move quickly sparked a heated discussion about "stealing photography", and the topic "Xue Zhiqian's stealing photography" rushed to the top of the hot search list.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, "screen photography" is just a trivial action, however, the legal and moral issues involved behind this behavior cannot be ignored. So, is it illegal to "screen shoot" in theaters? And why should we resolutely oppose the behavior of "screen photography"?
From a legal point of view, whether the theater's "screen shooting" behavior is illegal is still in a relatively ambiguous area. Although there are relevant provisions in the Film Industry Promotion Law and the Copyright Law, the definition of the specific act of "screen shooting" is not clear. However, this does not mean that we can turn a blind eye to the act of "screen photography". The German philosopher Immanuel Kant once said, "Law is the bottom line of moral standards." In other words, the law is only the minimum moral requirement for people, and violating morality does not necessarily violate the law. Therefore, even if the act of "screen photography" is still controversial in law, we should still condemn it from a moral perspective.
What's more serious is that as a public figure, Xue Zhiqian's behavior undoubtedly made an extremely bad example to the public. His actions may cause fans to follow suit, which in turn will ruin the theater's viewing environment. What is even more disappointing is that in the face of doubts and criticism, Xue Zhiqian not only did not show any remorse, but responded with an arrogant attitude, which undoubtedly exacerbated the bad impact of the incident.
In fact, the cinema is a public place, and every audience member should respect the viewing experience of others. However, in real life, we can often see people making loud noises, swiping their phones, and even filming screens in the theater. These behaviors not only affect the viewing experience of others, but also disrupt the public order of the theater. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the publicity and education of cinema viewing etiquette, so that everyone can be aware of the possible impact of their actions on others.
At the same time, we should also realize that the opposition to cinema "screen shooting" is not only to maintain the personal viewing experience, but also to maintain the healthy development of the entire film industry. If "screen photography" is allowed to spread, it will not only infringe on the rights and interests of film creators, but also destroy the ecological balance of the entire film market. Therefore, we should start from ourselves, resolutely resist the behavior of "screen shooting", and contribute to the healthy development of the film industry.
In short, although Xue Zhiqian's "screen photography" incident is only a single case, the problems it has raised are worth pondering. We should proceed from both legal and moral levels, resolutely oppose and resist the behavior of "screen photography", and maintain a good viewing environment and the healthy development of the film market. At the same time, we also hope that more public figures can lead by example, establish correct values and codes of conduct, and make positive contributions to the harmonious development of society.
Behind the controversy of Xue Zhiqian's "screen photography": the lack and reflection of cinema viewing etiquette.
With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the film market has also ushered in an unexpected turmoil. The well-known singer Xue Zhiqian fell into the "pirate" controversy because he shared the viewing of the movie "Flying Life 2" on social platforms, which caused the public to think deeply about the etiquette of watching movies in theaters. This incident not only reveals the public's neglect of the norms of cinema viewing behavior, but also highlights the responsibilities and responsibilities that celebrities should have as public figures.
As a place of public entertainment, cinemas carry the important function of people's leisure and entertainment. However, in recent years, with the popularity of smartphones, incivility in theaters has occurred repeatedly. From making loud noises, swiping mobile phones to filming screens, these behaviors not only affect the viewing experience of other audiences, but also disrupt the public order of the theater. And Xue Zhiqian's "screen shooting" behavior this time has pushed this problem to the forefront.
As a public figure, Xue Zhiqian's every move has attracted much attention. His "screen shooting" behavior not only violated basic movie-watching etiquette, but also set a false example for fans and the audience. This disregard for the rules and arrogance exacerbated the bad impact of the incident, and also made people reflect on the responsibilities and responsibilities that celebrities should have as public figures.
In fact, cinema etiquette is not out of order. From the moment they enter the theater, audiences should be aware that their actions may have an impact on others. Being quiet, respecting others, and not filming screens are all basic viewing requirements. However, in real life, these requirements are often overlooked. This not only reflects the lack of understanding of cinema viewing etiquette among some audiences, but also exposes the society's disregard for the norms of behavior in public places.
In response to this "screen shooting" incident, it is necessary for us to strengthen the publicity and education of cinema viewing etiquette. Through channels, social platforms and other channels, popularize the basic requirements and behavioral norms of cinema viewing to the public. At the same time, theaters can also strengthen management and guidance, and stop and remind violations of regulations in a timely manner.
In addition, we should also recognize that maintaining a good viewing environment is not only the responsibility of the audience, but also the foundation for the sustainable and healthy development of the film industry. As consumers, we should consciously abide by the etiquette of watching movies and respect the rights and interests of others; As a film practitioner, we should actively advocate civilized movie viewing and provide audiences with a high-quality movie-watching experience.
In short, although the Xue Zhiqian "screen photography" incident is an individual case, the problems it raises are worth pondering. We should start from ourselves, strengthen the understanding and observance of cinema viewing etiquette, and jointly create a civilized and harmonious viewing environment. At the same time, it is also hoped that celebrities and other public figures can lead by example, establish correct values and codes of conduct, and make positive contributions to the harmonious development of society.
