    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).

  • Spatiotemporal Patterns of Carbon Emissions and Taxi Travel Using GPS Data in Beijing
    energies Article Spatiotemporal Patterns of Carbon Emissions and Taxi Travel Using GPS Data in Beijing Jinlei Zhang 1, Feng Chen 1,2, Zijia Wang 1,* ID , Rui Wang 1 and Shunwei Shi 1 1 School of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, No.3 Shangyuancun, Haidian District, Beijing 100044, China; [email protected] (J.Z.); [email protected] (F.C.); [email protected] (R.W.); [email protected] (S.S.) 2 Beijing Engineering and Technology Research Center of Rail Transit Line Safety and Disaster Prevention, No.3 Shangyuancun, Haidian District, Beijing 100044, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-010-5168-8070 Received: 21 December 2017; Accepted: 19 February 2018; Published: 27 February 2018 Abstract: Taxis are significant contributors to carbon dioxide emissions due to their frequent usage, yet current research into taxi carbon emissions is insufficient. Emerging data sources and big data–mining techniques enable analysis of carbon emissions, which contributes to their reduction and the promotion of low-carbon societies. This study uses taxi GPS data to reconstruct taxi trajectories in Beijing. We then use the carbon emission calculation model based on a taxi fuel consumption algorithm and the carbon dioxide emission factor to calculate emissions and apply a visualization method called kernel density analysis to obtain the dynamic spatiotemporal distribution of carbon emissions. Total carbon emissions show substantial temporal variations during the day, with maximum values from 10:00–11:00 (57.53 t), which is seven times the minimum value of 7.43 t (from 03:00–04:00). Carbon emissions per kilometer at the network level are steady throughout the day (0.2 kg/km).

  • To Be Young, Queer and Chinese
    FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS Mon Nov 30 | 8:00 PM | ONLINE Jack H. Skirball Series $10 [members $8] To get tickets, visit: To Be Young, Queer and Chinese To Be Young, Queer and Chinese Program curated by Jenny Man Wu, with Popo Fan and Yang Yang Presented in collaboration with Love Queer Cinema Week (former Beijing Queer Film Festival, BJQFF) Love Queer Cinema Week was funded in 2001 by university students as the first LGBTQ film festival in mainland China – where it remains one of the few grassroots events involved in independent queer film screenings and cultural exchange, providing a platform for sexual and other minorities worldwide. It has hosted international guests and offered travel grants to young Chinese participants. It has created ties with queer film festivals/events in Brazil, Belgium, Italy and Denmark, and the Berlinale Teddy Awards. Often harassed by the authorities and forced to change locations, it has survived as a site of resistance for social, cultural and artistic fluidity. Three festival organizers will hold a panel discussion on the evolution of queer media in China. Also: screening of Popo Fan’s The Drum Tower (Gu Lou Xi, 2019) and Yang Yang’s Our Story - 10-year "Guerrilla Warfare" of Beijing Queer Film Festival (Wo men de gu shi, 2011) In person via Zoom from Beijing and Berlin: Director on Duty Jenny Man Wu (rotating position), Committee Members Yang Yang and Popo Fan “… what made the BJQFF screening among the most moving and memorable experiences we’ve had on the festival circuit was the realization that it was more than an entertainment, it was a statement.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

A Defense of Jiang Rong’s Wolf Totem July 25, 2008 in Uncategorized by The China Beat | 6 comments By Timothy Weston I have a confession to make: I was moved by Jiang Rong’s Wolf Totem, think it’s an important novel and that it’s well worth reading. The reason I say I feel a need to “confess” as opposed to just being able to state this is because recent postingson The China Beat, as well as some of the reviews referenced in those postings, attack the book with a sharpness and thoroughgoingness that initially made me question my own taste and to think that I was politically incorrect for liking and being impressed by the novel as I read it. But after finishing Howard Goldblatt’s translation of Wolf Totem—a book that we now know is the work of Lu Jiamin, using “Jiang Rong” as a pseudonym—my conviction remains unchanged that this is indeed a major work.

The gross domestic product (“GDP”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”or “China”) reached RMB18,232.1 billion, which was a 9.9% surge over the previous year, while per capita disposable income of urban residents in cities and towns recorded a growth of 9.6%. The continuing growth in China’s economy and the rise in the disposable income of its citizens will inevitably lead to a higher demand for quality housing. During the year under review, the Chinese Govern- ment implemented a series of macro economic mea- sures to counter act the overheated property market. These macro economic measures have helped stabi- lized market conditions and in the long run are ex- pected to create a more balanced supply and demand situation and a healthier development of the prop- erty market.

  • Research on Chinese-Language Film in the Context of Globalization Jing
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 113 International Seminar on Social Science and Humanities Research (SSHR 2017) Research on Chinese-Language film in the Context of Globalization Jing Yi 1, a and Jianxun Wu 2, b 1 Beijing Film Academy, China 2 Beijing Film Academy, China [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Film Globalization; Chinese-language film; Film industry Abstract. Chinese-language films have experienced the whole - divide - cooperation - integration process in the past 68 years has experienced. In recent years, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese new generation of directors have realized the century cultural integration of Chinese-language film across different nation and region. This article critically reviewed the development of Chinese-language film on the basis of national film and Chinese film, trying to construct an analytical framework of Chinese-language films in the era of globalization, and exploring the Chinese movie industry how to realize the new development in the new pattern culture of globalization. 1 Introduction The Chinese-language film refers to the film produced by the mainland China, including Hong Kong, Macao and overseas Chinese of east Asia and southeast Asia. Over the past century, the number of Chinese films has been over a million, including Chinese, Cantonese, Hakka, Hujian (Taiwanese), tidal language, dialect and a small number of English. The profound social background, cultural roots and industrial connections all promote the coming out and acceptance of the concept of Chinese-language film. The shared cultural traditions such as the language, literature and food are rooted in the same culture—the long lasting traditional Chinese culture and the consistent film traditions—Shanghai film traditions before 1949.
