The New City of Film is Writing a New Blueprint

When it comes to the connection of Qingdao with film, what will people talk about? Is it the blue coast, the natural studio presented by the World Architecture, the city as the cradle of stars that have portrayed countless classic screen characters, or the city as the earliest test field for the Chinese film? These original images have changed quietly. Now, Qingdao, aiming at the transformation into a City of Film, is writing a brand-new roadmap for the rise of the Chinese and even the world film-television industry.

In the 2017 work report made by the Qingdao Municipal Government, it has been stated that Qingdao will develop high-end films and televisions and apply for the status as the City of Film to create an Oriental Movie Metropolis, an international film trading center and an international film art technology innovation platform. Qingdao has spared no efforts to build a film-television industrial cluster of hundred-billion scale by highlighting the leading role of the film-television industry among its cultural industries and expanding the international presence of products "made-in-Qingdao". As a result, the dream is getting closer and closer to the reality.

In the first half of this year, Qingdao's cultural industry has seen a 15.2% year-on-year surge, an 8.8% significant increase from a year earlier, of which the film-television industry has become an important engine for speeding up the development of its cultural industry. Qingdao now is only one last mile away from accomplishing its ambition to become a City of Film of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. The Lingshan Bay Film-Television Cultural Industrial Zone has established 15 world-class studios with each of them having film project stationed currently. In the next few years, Chinese cinemas will see more and more films "made-in-Qingdao".

Just in the last week, this City-of-Film-to-be ushered in a series of milestone episodes. The Qingdao Film Museum opened in the West Coast New Area marking the creation of Qingdao's new landmark of film centered on "Culture+Technology". And the 15th Domestic Films Promotion of China Cinema Lines was held in Lingshan Bay Film-Television Cultural Industrial Zone where more than 60 domestic new films made their debuts and 48 cinemas throughout China gathered for exchanges. The "voice of Qingdao" has emerged as a bellwether for the Chinese film industry.

There has been no example for Qingdao to follow in growing its film industry since neither Hengdian in China nor Hollywood in America is its ultimate goal. The extension and perfection of the industry chain has led to an unprecedented path that has never been set foot on. It describes a brand-new "Legend of Qingdao" and is writing a new blueprint for the Chinese film-television industry.
