1.The virus came
In 2020, the COVID epidemic spreaded all over the world. Most people are restricted to travel, and their lives are greatly affected. Many shops and companies have closed. And the tourism and transportation industries have been affected to varying degrees, as well as the film and television industry. The large-scale suspension of the gathering of people and restrictions on the flow of people have caused serious setbacks in the film and television industry in the process of the spread of the epidemic, especially in Hollywood and Bollywood, which produce huge amounts of film and television works.
2.The film and televison industry bear the brunt
The film and television industry is a huge value creator. Last year, Hollywood’s global box office revenue in 2019 totaled 42 billion U.S. dollars, which is more than ever before, and accounting for almost one-third of the global film production and distribution value of 136 billion U.S. dollars. Hollywood supports more than 2 million jobs and 400,000 American companies, and the British film and television industry is worth about 60 million pounds to the British economy every day.
Unfortunately, the COVID epidemic has stalled the progress of many film productions and movie theaters have been closed. In some countries/regions, although they are trying to restart production, the great uncertainty caused by the virus has still severely reduced consumers’ confidence in any locations. The film and television industry is trying to reduce risks as much as possible, however the pandemic is an unstoppable force. At any time, amazing filmmaking is definitely a very tedious and laborious process, requiring hundreds of people to assist each other, such as actors, directors, hairdressers, makeup artists, and catering staff. In other words, when people are crowded, there will be an excellent opportunity for the virus to spread.
2.1 Hollywood status
The film and television industry lasted for a period of hibernation, “Jurassic World: Domination” tried to resume shooting.
At Pinewood Studios in London, there is a broadcasting system that constantly reminds the actors and staff during the filming process to pay attention to the contact distance and change masks in time. Although relevant departments have taken certain measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic, and have also formulated many rules for related industries, including strict epidemic prevention and monitoring, such as electronic temperature checks, swab tests, daily safety briefings, and organization of medical staff And the staff’s color coded area, but the shooting may still be cancelled at any time. In addition to the coronavirus test, perhaps the most necessary and expensive cost is to rent space for the main actors and staff to limit their contact with the outside world. Pfizer previously announced that its coronavirus vaccine had achieved encouraging results, which aroused the hope of the entire industry that the business may eventually return to normal, but most people remain unoptimistic.
2.2 Bollywood status
In Bollywood, although the Indian government has been working hard to control the spread of the epidemic, India still has nearly 10 million recorded infections. During Bollywood’s film production and shooting, relevant department invented a sprinkler system that sprays disinfectant onto clothing and other places. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection machine will also disinfect the camera kit and crew. In 2008, the sequel of the hot romantic comedy “Dostana 2″, tried to create a luxurious wedding scene during the filming process. The luxurious wedding scene is one of the iconic scenes of Bollywood movies. But it is a pity that although the scene still looks luxurious, the actual number of dancers involved has been reduced by 50. Compared with the previous group dance of 300 dancers, the scene is a bit shabby, and the shooting time has also been extended due to safety contact issues. Labor costs and time costs are greatly increased. The film’s assistant director Jihan Handa said: “In Bollywood, the number of people in a song is related to its budget. If you can afford hundreds of dancers and all their costumes, it can easily become a very famous song. Too few people make it look a bit cheap.”
3. Expected resuming
Fortunately, more and more programs such as Netflix are gradually resuming production, as well as Hollywood. The industry has enhanced security protocols to reduce the possibility of Covid-19 infection. The feature film “Wonder Woman 1984” was officially released on
December 25. Although half of the movie theaters have closed, many people still do not want to go to the movies because of the fear of infectious diseases. The studio said that although riskly to release a $200 million film will not bring a big box office, this change is the latest attempt to restore a sense of normalcy in an industry that is once again fragile. From the busy work and entertainment life, the citizens suddenly landed in an extremely idle life, and a huge emptiness would appear on the spiritual level of them. Sleeping late, insomnia, and being in a daze may occupy one-third of life (here refers to the data of most people), and some will play games and chase dramas to fill the void of spirit. Therefore, it is foreseeable that retaliatory entertainment consumption may appear soon. This situation is definitely a positive stimulus for the film and television industry. As many countries learn about China’s prevention and control of the coronavirus, and related virus vaccines are invented, the film and television industry will surely usher in another recovery soon.
