廣電總局要求將60餘部網絡大電影下架

China's top media watchdog has ordered the removal of more than 60 online movies from video streaming websites for containing vulgarity and violence.

國家新聞出版廣電總局近日要求各視頻網站將包含低俗及暴力內容的60多部網絡電影下架。

Online films, including "Fengshui Master" and "Eliminate College Students", were removed from video streaming websites such as iQiyi and Youku within several days by the order of China's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.

應國家新聞出版廣電總局要求，愛奇藝、優酷等視頻網站在數日內下架包括《風水大師》和《消滅大學生》在內的多部網絡電影。

An anonymous employee from Youku Tudou told the Global Times that she did not know whether these films will be uploaded again.

優酷土豆一位不願透露姓名的員工在接受《環球時報》採訪時表示，她不知道這些電影是否還會重新上線。

"Internet films and serials have gained popularity because it is easy to broadcast them on video streaming sites, which are not regulated and lack unified standard of self-censorship," He Hui, director of the Public Relations and Public Opinion Institute of the Communication University of China, told the Global Times.

中國傳媒大學公共關係與輿論研究所所長何輝向《環球時報》透露稱：“網絡電影和連續劇已經流行開來，因爲在視頻網站上播出是很容易的。這些電影電視劇的內容通常是不規範的，也缺乏統一的自我審查標準。”

Media reported that the number of films being taken off the websites is increasing.

有媒體報道，下架網絡電影的數量還在持續增加。

Strict regulation can help standardize the entire Internet film industry, experts say. But the ban will also bring great losses to the producers since it is unknown if these films will be allowed to be posted online again.

專家稱，嚴格的監管有助於整個網絡電影行業標準化。但這項禁令也將給製片人帶來巨大的損失，因爲這些電影能否被允許再次上線是一件未知的事情。
