《大地震》廣告植入遭批 |
| Rampant use of product placement in Director Feng Xiaogang's Aftershock has drawn criticism from the media and the public. The 135-minute film contains six obviously product placements lasting 15 minutes, including alcohol, a bank, insurance, a cell phone, a car, and sportswear. |
馮小剛導演的《唐山大地震》因為過度植入廣告，遭到媒體和大眾的一致批評。這部135分鐘的電影，貼片廣告長達15分鐘，相繼明顯地出現了酒類、銀行、保險、手機、汽車和運動品牌的植入廣告。 |
| According to Xinhua, Zhang Hongsen, vice director of the SARFT film department said Monday that advertisements in movies were necessary to allow film makers to make profits, as piracy poses a threat to revenues. He said a tougher crackdown on piracy was essential. The pirated version of Aftershock appeared two days before its national premier. |
新華社報道，國家廣電總局電影局副局長張宏森本周一指出，當前一些電影投制片方因擔心影片遭到盜版而減少利潤，從而在電影中植入廣告。因此，嚴厲打擊盜版是解決這一問題的有效途徑。在《唐山大地震》正式上映的前兩天，它的槍版就已現身。 |
| But Netizens say serious movies like Aftershock should steer clear of product placement. Aftershock, which cost 130 million yuan to make, received almost 100 million yuan from product placement deals and another 60 million yuan from the Tangshan municipal government. |
然而網友們則認為像《唐山大地震》這種嚴肅題材的電影應該回避植入廣告。《唐山大地震》總投資大約1.3億，它的商標植入廣告收入達到了近1億，這還不包括唐山市政府投資的6000萬。 |
