青少年的卧室里不再贴满美国艺人的海报 从摇滚乐到嘻哈文化等那些常被视为反主流和颠覆性的美国文化可以看出，美国"酷文化"对外国的吸引 力几乎从未减弱。但不幸的是，目前全球对美国文化出口的抵制正值美国创意产业最脆弱的时期。过去 20年，美国在全球电影票房的份额从92%下降到66%。美国音乐也在衰退。截至2023年，在音乐流媒体 平台Spotify上收入超过1万美元的艺术家中，有一半以上来自非英语国家。 美国《纽约时报》 11 月 9 日文章，原题：美国正在输掉全球青少年争夺战 冷战时期，流行文化是美国力 量的重要组成部分。早在1950年，美国中情局就意识到了这一点并资助了文化自由大会。该组织巅峰时 期在35个国家设有办公室，并在表面上支持新兴艺术家，因为他们相信推广美国文化能够削弱外国政府 的影响力。美国在面向青少年的这场文化战中取得了某种胜利。1991年，美国金属乐队在莫斯科图申诺 机场举办的演唱会吸引了大批观众。然而，如今，美国文化影响力正急剧衰退，美国作为全球"酷文 化"典范的形象正在削弱。最直观的证据可以在加拿大看到。 " 加拿大人正在改变他们的文化习惯 " 今年9月，特朗普在联合国称美国是"世界上最火热 ...

Core Viewpoint - Trump's new policy to impose a 100% tariff on foreign-made films entering the U.S. is seen as a continuation of his protectionist agenda, which may harm the domestic film industry rather than protect it [3][5]. Industry Impact - The proposed film tariff will significantly impact the U.S. film industry's supply chain, leading to increased production costs and potentially fewer films being produced, which could disrupt the entire industry ecosystem [5]. - Hollywood's reliance on overseas locations, special effects teams, and post-production services means that the tariff could lead to a substantial increase in production expenses, ultimately harming the film distribution business [5]. International Response - European lawmakers have expressed strong opposition to Trump's film tariff, labeling it as a form of trade protectionism. They warn that retaliatory measures could be taken, such as limiting U.S. film imports or imposing additional taxes on American films, which would severely affect Hollywood's international box office revenues [6]. - If Europe enacts countermeasures, it could diminish the influence of American films in European markets, leading to a significant reduction in international ticket sales [6]. Cultural Exchange - The implementation of a film tariff could hinder cultural exchange between nations, as films serve as vital cultural conduits. A retaliatory response could further weaken cultural penetration and influence [8]. - While the immediate impact on Chinese films may be limited due to their small market share in the U.S., the long-term effects of disrupted international cultural trade could destabilize the global film market [8]. Conclusion - Trump's approach to tariffs, particularly in the film industry, is viewed as a misguided attempt that may not yield the desired protective effects and could lead to greater isolation for the U.S. in the international market [9].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the potential impact of President Trump's proposed 100% tariffs on foreign-made films, highlighting France's response and the implications for the film industry [1][2]. Group 1: France's Response - French Culture Minister Rachida Dati emphasized that France will defend its "cultural exception" and is not overly concerned about the U.S. threat, stating that the U.S. film market only holds about 15% of the French market [1][2]. - Dati believes that the announcement from Trump is vague and may remain at the "announcement stage," but any retaliatory measures would primarily affect the U.S. film industry due to its profitability and strong exports [1][2]. Group 2: Impact on the Film Industry - The U.S. tariff threat has already created a strong impact in France, as the unique French film financing model is seen as a target for the U.S. government, which views it as "unfair business behavior" [2]. - In 2024, France produced 231 films, demonstrating the contribution of its financing mechanism to the film industry [2]. Group 3: Industry Perspectives - Some industry insiders believe that Trump's tariff threat is a strategic move to intimidate U.S. buyers into purchasing domestically, rather than from foreign sources [3]. - Vincent Maraval, a French producer, criticized the idea of imposing tariffs on foreign films as "inapplicable" and even absurd, arguing that many films contain global elements and should not be labeled as "foreign" [3]. - Maraval also suggested that the U.S. film industry is in decline, as American films, apart from Marvel-type productions, are losing global appeal, indicating a broader artistic and economic crisis [3].
