Film is an art of time and space and a "wonderful pen" that records urban development. The nature of the times is also the key word to understand this Hundred Flowers Award.

Using "shadow" as the medium

Reflecting the diverse blend of urban culture

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out that China Modern modernization is a modernization that harmonizes material civilization and spiritual civilization. In Chengdu, 8,000 cafes, 10,000 teahouses, 20,000 hot pot restaurants, and 300,000 restaurants fill the city with fireworks; 200 museums and 4,000 bookstores provide spiritual nourishment to the people; 4,500 music performances are held throughout the year Activities such as these are constantly exciting and enrich the cultural life of more than 21 million citizens. They not only provide diverse scenes for film and television creation, but also provide a huge market for the dissemination of film and television works. In the first half of this year, the number of moviegoers in the city was nearly 16 million, ranking third in the country.

"Chengdu is an important force in Chinese film creation" "Chengdu's themes can resonate with young people" "Chengdu films, while maintaining local characteristics, can transcend regional and cultural boundaries and resonate with global audiences"... …In recent interviews, experts, scholars, and industry insiders have said that the splendid Bashu culture and unique humanistic temperament have given birth to rich film and television creation resources.

At the same time, with "science fiction" as the keyword, Chengdu Film is facing the future. From " The Wandering Earth " to " Universe Exploration Editorial Department ", the relationship between high-profile science fiction blockbusters and Chengdu is not only a geographical connection, but also a cultural and spiritual resonance. At the same time, science fiction movies have further promoted the development and prosperity of Chengdu's cultural industry, making the city shine even more dazzlingly in the field of science fiction. In 2023, the China (Chengdu) International Science Fiction Conference will be held, which will become an important opportunity to promote international cultural exchanges and promote the development of science fiction. Not long ago, the first "Tianwen" Chinese Science Fiction Literature Competition was officially launched in Chengdu to further promote the development of Chinese science fiction literature and accelerate the creation of "Chinese Science Fiction Capital". From the clear plan to build a China Science Fiction Industrial Park to the gathering of more than a thousand related companies in science fiction publishing, film and television, games, equipment, etc., Chengdu has now fully constructed a science fiction industry chain ecosystem, and the science fiction industry has maintained a rapid growth trend, far higher than The national growth rate ranks first in the country.

Diverse Chengdu has more than just a "science fiction" aspect.Today's Chengdu carries important missions such as jointly building the "Belt and Road", developing the Yangtze River Economic Belt, promoting the development of the western region in the new era, and building the Chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle... 30 key industrial chains, trillions of electronic information Industry and 10 industrial clusters worth hundreds of billions, this is an economically strong city with developed industries; it has the largest single studio in Asia, gathering more than 260 well-known film and television companies, with more than 100,000 employees in the film and television industry, and students majoring in film and television reaching 220,000; the complete industrial ecology has driven the scale of film, animation, music and other cultural and creative industries to exceed 250 billion yuan, strongly supporting the city's total economic volume of over 2.2 trillion yuan, ranking third among sub-provincial cities...

and more With "film" as the medium and "film" as the sail, I believe that with the efforts of production entities and creative entities such as enterprises and associations, and with the support of cultural supply and industrial policies, we will be able to promote the high-quality development of the film and television industry.
