Core Viewpoint - The emergence of illegal activities disguised as private cinema services, such as forced sales and provision of companionship, necessitates strict legal action and systematic eradication of these issues [4][5]. Group 1: Industry Issues - Private cinemas are often located in residential buildings, using "privacy" as a cover to evade inspections, leading to a regulatory dilemma where multiple authorities are involved but none can fully manage the situation [4]. - The low cost of illegal activities, combined with minimal penalties and high illicit profits, creates a sense of impunity among operators [4]. - The lack of platform oversight allows non-compliant businesses to attract customers through suggestive advertising, continuing operations even after being flagged for violations [4]. Group 2: Cultural Implications - The distortion of the "private cinema" concept, originally intended to meet personalized cultural needs, is leading to a decline into a "pseudo-cinema, real brothel" scenario [5]. - The focus on forced companionship packages undermines the cultural integrity and seriousness of cinemas as cultural venues, transforming the experience from emotional value to basic physical consumption [5]. - The closing of cinema doors for secret transactions also shuts down potential avenues for healthy cultural innovation [5]. Group 3: Regulatory Recommendations - Law enforcement should adopt a "zero tolerance" approach, pursuing criminal charges against organizers and increasing the costs of illegal activities [5]. - Regulatory measures should include regular inspections for real-name registration, monitoring of private rooms, and qualification audits, particularly in hidden locations within residential areas [5]. - The industry should establish clear service standards and boundaries, explicitly prohibiting companionship services as part of the core entry and rating criteria [5]. Group 4: Future Vision - The significance of governance extends beyond public safety; it involves nurturing a healthy cultural ecosystem that protects emerging cultural consumption forms from being distorted by profit-driven motives [5]. - A healthy urban cultural ecology should allow for the innovation of private cinemas, provided they operate under the rule of law and public order [5]. - Encouragement of compliant private cinema models should be integrated into urban planning, rather than allowing them to exist in gray areas, requiring regulators to act as "gardeners" by providing supportive policies for compliant operations [5].
