According to the financial news APP, on June 24, the State Administration of Radio and Television organized the drafting of the "Regulations on the Development and Management of Micro Short Films (Draft for Comments)" in order to further promote the prosperity of micro short films, strengthen new popular literary and artistic works under the conditions of the Internet, and promote the healthy development of micro short films in coordination with the "Regulations on the Management of Broadcasting and Television" and other administrative regulations. It is now open for public comments. The draft regulation divides micro short films into three categories based on investment amount and subject matter, and implements a system of registration and publication for different categories. Category one micro short films refer to micro short films with a large investment amount or whose main plot touches on special subjects such as politics, military affairs, diplomacy, national security, united front work, ethnicity, religion, justice, public security, etc. Category two micro short films refer to micro short films with relatively small investment amounts and general subjects. Category three micro short films refer to micro short films with low investment amounts and general subjects. The classification criteria are formulated by the State Administration of Radio and Television and will be adjusted in a timely manner based on the actual development of the industry.
