"Beautiful teaching assistant", "Interactive viewing", "First love experience", similar to these highly associative slogans, I wonder if you have seen them when surfing on the Internet. Pass? Reporters recently discovered that there are many private theaters on some life service platforms that claim to provide movie-watching and love experiences accompanied by teaching assistants. Some private theaters even clearly mark the price of physical contact. These stores will use photos of beautiful girls and words such as "post-00s teaching assistant" and "part-time job for college students" to attract customers. After adding the store's customer service, some of the service contents sent are even more explicit. (November 2 "Sichuan Observation")

In recent years, private theaters have "appeared" in major cities across the country, satisfying the freshness and sense of freedom that some young people pursue, and providing customers with a more private viewing space and Personalized viewing options. At the same time, chaos abounds in private cinema venues such as irregular management, unclear business boundaries, and even vulgar services. For example, in this reporter’s undercover investigation, the private theater operator said that after paying, he could have a “private date” with a girl, and the specific content could be freely negotiated.

This type of behavior has obviously exceeded the bottom line of business. In April this year, some private cinemas in Changsha were exposed. It is said that in some aspects, they are "far beyond your imagination. Only you can't imagine it, but it can't be done without him." In August this year, a private cinema in Jiangxi attracted customers to the store for fees ranging from hundreds of yuan to engage in illegal activities of prostitution and was dealt with by the police in accordance with the law.

In recent years, many private theaters have been hidden in residential buildings, making it easier for them to evade supervision, thus posing hidden dangers to public security and fire protection. Previously, a reporter made an unannounced visit and could stay overnight there without an ID card. Moreover, there are many violent and pornographic movies in private theaters, and there are even "banned movies" that are not allowed to be shown in the country. In addition, private theaters also face the risk of consumer privacy leakage. Not only do some people secretly install pinhole cameras in rooms, but some private theater owners also make profits by selling videos.

What is even more dangerous is that some minors go to private theaters for "dates", and there have also been cases of underage girls being taken to private theaters and raped. Under such circumstances, some private theaters have not only failed to become entertainment and consumption venues that bring happiness to consumers, but have instead become "horror traps" full of dangers.

In any case, private theaters cannot become a "hidden corner", a blind spot for supervision, or a place outside the law. This requires us to increase supervision. On the one hand, movie broadcasting belongs to the franchise industry, and relevant departments should strictly regulate the approval and operation of private theaters; on the other hand, the public security organs, market supervision and administration and other departments must conduct inspections on relevant online platforms. Interview and urge them to assume review responsibilities. At the same time, relevant departments should conduct investigations into private theaters within their jurisdiction, standardize the business scope, business hours, on-demand movies, etc. of private theaters, and promptly ban and punish those with incomplete business qualifications, procedures, or violations of laws and regulations. In addition, for those private theaters that are hidden in residential areas without approval, the community should play the role of grid members to find these private theaters and have them inspected and regulated by relevant departments.

In short, all aspects must strengthen the supervision of the entire process before, during and after the event. To prevent private theaters from becoming a "grey area" where no one cares, and to prevent these places from performing "dark dramas" such as infringement, disorder, and threats to privacy, supervision needs to assume the role of "director" to promote private theaters to get on the right track with the rule of law and guide the health of the industry orderly development.
