Une industrie cinématographique qui a un avenir prometteur avec une croissance annuelle de 8%. En parallèle de ce fort développement on peut dénombrer plus de 40 films primés dans les grands festivals internationaux et notamment à Cannes. Le nombre d’acteurs et réalisateurs reconnus à l’international croît : John Woo, Jet Li, Wong Kar Wai ou Ang Lee… A l’heure actuelle, 3 tendances marquent l’internationalisation du cinéma chinois : la globalisation, la recherche d'effets spéciaux, les films de divertissement commerciaux. Malgré la richesse, la diversité et la notoriété grandissante du cinéma chinois, la diffusion des productions chinoises dans les salles françaises reste anecdotique. Hormis les films présentés chaque année au Festival de Cannes, on peut compter sur les doigts de la main quelques films commercialisés, comme "Lust, Caution" ou "Les Trois Royaumes". Dans cet objectif de promouvoir le cinéma chinois en France, d’offrir la possibilité au public de l’hexagone de voir des films d’ordinaire non diffusés, le Festival du cinéma chinois en France proposera une programmation d’une douzaine d’œuvres dans 4 villes françaises (Paris, Versaille, Lyon, Toulouse). Les films présentés lors de la première édition du Festival du cinéma chinois en France ont fait l'objet d'une fine sélection, représentative des derniers développements du cinéma chinois. Ils présentent des thèmes non seulement riches mais encore à créativité et à valeur artistique singulières. Ils susciteront l’intérêt du public français alors que la variété des thèmes développés ouvrira une fenêtre sur la situation actuelle du cinéma chinois. Cette 1e édition du FCCF est également l’occasion des 1ères rencontres officielles et professionnelles avec une importante Délégation venue de Chine pour permettre aux Parties chinoises et françaises d’approfondir de nombreux points d’intérêt communs, tels la promotion de la diversité cinématographique dans le monde, l’application des accords de coproduction franco-chinois ou encore le développement du cinéma numérique et ses retombées pour nos industries cinématographiques. Le Festival du cinéma chinois en France fait écho au Panorama du Cinéma français en Chine organisé par Unifrance. Pour cette 1ère édition nous sommes très honorés que Jean Reno et Jiang Wen aient acceptés d’être nos parrains. Parmi la délégation artistique chinoise le public français aura l’occasion de rencontrer de nombreux artistes chinois tels que Zhou Yun ou WANG Xueqi ayant une très grande popularité en Chine.

Costa-Gavras sera le premier metteur en scène de cinéma à l’engager dans « Clair de Femme » avec Yves Montand et Romy Schneider. C’est à cette époque qu’il rencontre Luc Besson avec qui il travaillera dans de nombreuses productions comme « Le Grand Bleu » et « Léon » qui le feront connaître mondialement. Hollywood ne tardera pas à employer Jean Reno aux côtés d’acteurs comme Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible), Robert de Niro (Ronin), Tom Hanks (Le Da Vinci Code), etc.… En 2010, Jean, a pris part à deux importantes productions françaises : « La Rafle » de Rose Bosch et « L’Immortel » de Richard Berry.

  • Is Social Media a Fortune Or Misfortune? —The Art Film’S Dilemma and Breakthrough
    Department of Informatics and Media Master Programme in Social Sciences, specialization Digital Media and Society One-year Master’s Thesis Is social media a fortune or misfortune? —The art film’s dilemma and breakthrough. Student: Li Yijia Supervisor: Maria Nilsson June 2018 !1 Abstract In China, Weibo is a social software that almost everyone uses. Weibo does not only provide an arena for users to share their experiences with friends, but also offers a platform for companies to promote their products. From 2014, the distributors of the films began to use Weibo as one of their main marketing tools. Nevertheless, from the same time, Chinese art films have begun to decline, and the most direct manifestation is the downturn in the box office. At the coincidence of the two time points, the decline of art films and the Weibo seems to be linked. However, there are still a handful of art films which achieved great success on Weibo in this 3-year period. In these cases, Weibo seems to be a fortune for these art films. The first part of this study is devoted to exploring what has changed in the ways to Weibo users’ get information and communicate about films, especially art films from 2014 to 2017 by social media logic. The second part analyzes a successful case and tries to find out how the distributors of the art films could use Weibo as an online marketing tool to conduct online marketing activities by combing the social media logic with the marketing strategy for non-mainstream culture products. This study used a combination of qualitative research and quantitative research.

THE CHINESE IMAGE IN SINO-HOLLYWOOD CO-PRODUCED BLOCKBUSTERS DURING THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION By ZHEWEN SONG Under the Direction of Ethan Tussey, PhD ABSTRACT This thesis explores the global-local interplay among three key players, which are Hollywood, Chinese government, and Chinese film industry, by analyzing representations of China and Chinese culture in three kinds of modes of film cooperation between Hollywood and China in the era of globalization. Drawing on both the analysis of three factors respectively and the elaboration of tripartite push-and-pull, a spectrum of film collaboration has been built to find out how the leveraging powers work, indicating that the images of China in selected films manifest a shared cultural identity that is hybridized and market-friendly. By further discussing China’s position in global competition, it reveals China’s ambition to brand itself as a global media power instead of a media capital.

  • China, Film Coproduction and Soft Power Competition
    China, Film Coproduction and Soft Power Competition Weiying Peng Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Key Words China Coproduction Film coproduction Soft power Soft power competition i ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of China’s film internationalism and coproduction strategy. International coproduction has become a new area of industry debate in regard to China’s film industry. However, there has been limited scholarly attention, in both English and Chinese scholarship, paid to the activities of film coproduction between China and offshore parties. Specifically, the research looks at three representative film coproduction cases: Hong Kong and China based on Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA); US and China without any state-level agreements; Australia and China based on official film coproduction treaty. The broad intent of this study is to analyse the extent to which Chinese coproduction strategy functions as a form of soft power competition. Film coproduction in China, through the transfer of human capital, technology and knowledge, has significant implications for promoting China’s film ‘going out’, thus improving China’s soft power and building a better international image. The aim is to investigate the evolution of coproduction in the film industry, the process of coproduction, the foreign film companies’ strategies of adjustment to China’s state policy, and the challenges that hinder the coproduction. The contribution of this study comes in two parts: first, understanding the current environment for film coproduction in China and how foreign partners, especially those from western countries, deal with the historical, cultural, institutional and linguistic differences for coproduction.
