    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne. He has a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Gloucestershire, UK, with expertise in Chinese- language cinema. He is a PhD supervisor, a film festival jury member, and an enthusiast of digital filmmaking with award- winning short films. He is the editor ofMigration and Memory: Arts and Cinemas of the Chinese Diaspora (Maison des Sciences et de l’Homme du Pacifique, 2019).

While new ideologies such as “Core Socialist Values” and “Chinese Dream” are prevailing in almost every aspect of Chinese people’s daily lives, women are largely overlooked as part of the “citizens” in the official discourses even though they

  • The Casting of American and Chinese Sitcoms from the 1950S to the 2010S Jinyuan Zheng
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 445 Proceedings of the 2020 International Conference on Language, Art and Cultural Exchange (ICLACE 2020) The Casting of American and Chinese Sitcoms From the 1950s to the 2010s Jinyuan Zheng Shanghai United International School Pudong Campus, Shanghai, 200126, China Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Sitcoms production teams often choose actors with unique styles. Longevity of actors’ performance and versatility are two major qualities that the sitcom actor should maintain [2]. Old actors are experienced, while the new actors can bring up the spirit of contemporary society. Therefore, both kinds of actors are required for sitcoms. Different departments in the production team all support actors to deliver the purpose of the sitcom to the audience. Directors help to form the character and select suitable actors under auditions and feelings. Cinematographer Cameraman uses the Three Lens Model and the dolly shot to exaggerate the detail performance of the actors with the demonstration of I love Lucy and the Big Bang theory. Costume and makeup help to deliver the historical background and better the looking of characters in the screen with examples from happy days. The use of Laff Box brings tremendous benefits for the sitcoms. The relationships between actors and audience are gradually closer as the century and technology developed, this can be seen from the Chinese sitcom apartment. Other sitcoms such as growing pains, friends and the Hank McCune show are useful to clarify the findings and ideas in this paper as well. The findings can be used for the director to make a successful sitcom with suitable actors.

  • AP® Chinese Language and Culture: Syllabus 1 Syllabus 1058783V1
    Englewood Public School District World Language, Mandarin Grades 8 - 12/Chinese 1 – 5 July 2018 Notes to accompany curriculum It is assumed that the teachers using this curriculum are “experts” on China and Chinese. In that sense, they should use the curriculum as a guide, but at the same time use their own judgement and experience to enhance and bring value to the student experience. No one individual can ever have the final say on what can or should be included. Reference Materials The following reference materials can and should be referred to when using this curriculum: ACTFL Can-do Statements ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines NCSSFL-ACTFL Can Do Statements Proficiency Benchmarks NCSSFL-ACTFL Intercultural Reflection Tool New Jersey Student Learning Standard for World Language New Jersey World Languages Standard Learning Progressions Use of the Target Language in the Classroom (ACTFL) Research indicates that effective language instruction must provide significant levels of meaningful communication* and interactive feedback in the target language in order for students to develop language and cultural proficiency. The pivotal role of target-language interaction in language learning is emphasized in the K-16 Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century. ACTFL therefore recommends that language educators and their students use the target language as exclusively as possible (90% plus) at all levels of instruction during instructional time and, when feasible, beyond the classroom. In classrooms that feature maximum target-language use, instructors use a variety of strategies to facilitate comprehension and support meaning making. For example, they: 1. provide comprehensible input that is directed toward communicative goals; 2.
