    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.

Abstract With the continuous advancement of globalization, cultural integration is becoming increasingly intense. Cultural soft power is of great significance to the realization of national rejuvenation. As an important carrier of culture, film not only embodies national culture, but also plays an important role in guiding culture. With the increasingly fierce competition in the world film market, the future development direction and outlet of Chinese film has always been an important issue for filmmakers. For a successful animated film, its spiritual core is indispensable. Looking at the excellent animation works around the globe, “carrying forward the beauty of humanity” is an eternal topic and the soul of the works. This paper discusses the beauty of humanity embodied in Chinese and foreign animation images, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and foreign excellent animation works, hoping to find the direction for the future development of Chinese animation films. Keywords: Animation; Beauty of humanity; Culture differences; Self-identity Introduction Since modern times, animation entered China as an “imported product” and developed in the process of adaptation and breakthrough. Although there are many excellent animation works in China, with the increasingly intense market competition, the creation of Chinese animation film also needs to seek its own way out.

  • An Oral History of the Special Olympics in China Volume 2 the Movement Economy and Social Inclusion
    Economy and Social Inclusion Creating a Society for All William P. Alford Mei Liao Fengming Cui Editors An Oral History of the Special Olympics in China Volume 2 The Movement Economy and Social Inclusion Creating a Society for All Series Editor Akihiko Matsui, Tokyo, Japan This series provides a forum for theoretical, empirical, historical, and experimental analysis of issues related to economy and social inclusion and exclusion. Included are the interconnected problems of alienation, deprivation, discrimination, economic inequality, polarization, and prejudices caused by or related to abusive behavior, aging, depopulation, disability, the educational gap, the gender gap, natural disaster, poverty, rare diseases, war, and various other economic and social factors. The common theme of the series is to examine how we can create an inclusive society that accommodates as many people as possible and promotes their welfare. We believe this should be the main goal of economics as a discipline. Society need not passively observe its inequality, social exclusion, and decline. Policy, institutions, and our actions matter. The series aims to enrich academic discourse, influence economic and social policy, and enlighten a global readership. Methodologies adopted in this series are mainly economic theory, game theory, econometrics, statistical analysis, economic experiments, and disability studies. Psychology, sociology, legal studies, and medical sciences, among other disci- plines, are also considered important related fields of study. The interdisciplinary research taken up in the series utilizes these existing methodologies for the common goal of creating a society for all. Furthermore, progress in such interdisciplinary studies will contribute new insights to the development of economic studies.

  • Promoting Profit Model Innovation in Animation Project in Northeast Asia

Due to the rapidly changing environments and resource scarcity, cultural and creative companies need to select the appropriate profit model according to their own key resources. The study uncovers two critical factors that promote profit model innovation in animation projects: the quantity of consumers and their consumption intention. According to these two dimensions, the authors’ analysis shows profit model innovation in animation projects can be divided into Fans mode, Popular mode, Placement mode, and Failure mode, respectively. This study provides an empirical basis for advocating profit model innovation and discusses the resource requirements of Fan mode, Popular model, and Placement mode in China’s cultural and creative industry. The authors’ research also has managerial implications that might help firms promote profit model innovation. Finally, learning and promoting the profit model of China’s animation industry in the Northeast Asia area will be conducive to Northeast Asia’s cooperation and sustainable development.
