Miley Cyrus posted on her Twitter account a video of her swinging her hips to what will likely be her new single: "Midnight Sky". According to a report signed by Pen America, Hollywood studios have been censoring themselves for many years in order not to offend the 1.4 billion potential Chinese viewers. Each cultural event will have to continue to ask for an administrative authorization and this authorization will be delivered in an "exceptional" manner.
American singer Miley Cyrus teases her comeback.
She posted on her Twitter account a video of her swinging her hips to what will likely be her new single: "Midnight Sky". A video of exactly 31 seconds with an instrumental part and a part where we hear Miley singing. We don't yet know the release date of this single, nor that of her album, but if Miley starts twittering, it shouldn't be long. Either way, the song sounds pretty cool.
In Hollywood, a report is causing a stir.
This report is signed by Pen America, an association that campaigns for freedom of expression in the United States. According to her, Hollywood studios have censored themselves for many years so as not to offend the 1.4 billion potential Chinese spectators. Redacted scripts, deleted scenes: Pen América takes for example the Taiwanese flag which was removed from the jacket of Tom Cruise in the continuation of the film "Top Gun" which will be released next December. The reason ? The Chinese Communist Party's propaganda department has one of the toughest censorship systems in the world. It is he who will decide whether or not a film can be released on the territory. And the financial stake is enormous for the studios so as not to offend them. For example, the feature films "Advengers" or "Spiderman" made more receipts in China than in the United States.
The rue de Valois is reviewing its copy.
The Ministry of Culture announced last Tuesday that cultural events bringing together more than 5,000 people would be authorized from August 15 and that the prefectural authorization (which must be requested for the organization of a concert for example) would no longer be required as of September 1. But this Thursday, Roselyne Bachelot backpedaled on this last point. Each cultural event will have to continue to ask for an administrative authorization and this authorization will be delivered in an "exceptional" manner. The rue de Valois is now cautious. She is careful not to give a date for the revision of these rules and prefers to take small steps. It is true that it seemed a bit complicated given the current health situation.
We continue with a project at the cinema.
It was a project that had been announced for some time but this time, it is starting to take shape very seriously. Sony Pictures studios have just confirmed that they will distribute the film dedicated to the both incredible and tragic life of the absolute pop icon: Whitney Houston. The screenplay will be signed by a specialist in the genre: Anthony MacCarten. He was the one who wrote "Bohemian Rhapsody", the Queen movie. This film will be called "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", like the Whitney Houston hit we just heard. It should be released in the fall of 2022.
In Paris, the Forum des Images will once again host a strange festival.
"The strange festival" is the meeting place for lovers of bis cinema, gore cinema, futuristic cinema, cinema that is sometimes completely crazy or totally weird. All this cinema that we rarely see in theaters and that's a shame! On the program for this 26th edition: the first feature film by Brandon Cronenberg (David's son), carte blanche given to designer and director Marjane Satrapi, a tribute to Pierre Molinier, a surrealist photographer known in particular for his erotic self-portraits and her passion for nylon stockings. Director Gaspar Noé will present his medium-length film "Lux Aertena" with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Béatrice Dalle. And the Swedish Roy Andersson will give us a kaleidoscopic reflection on the meaning of life with his new film: "For Eternity". The strange festival will take place from September 2 to 13. It will be in Paris but don't hesitate to come from all over France if you like this kind of cinema. It really is the unmissable event.
A totally appropriate song.
The temperature will rise all weekend. It will be 40 ° in Limoges, 37 in Paris or 39 in Tours or Bourges. The ideal song for the next few days is signed by a young French artist. His name is Georges. And its title is called "Cagnard".
