Why has Xinjiang become one of the bases for film and television shooting in China?
2023-03-31
In the north of Xinjiang, there are scenic spots of Kanas Mountains and rivers, and in the south, there are vast and magnificent Gobi Desert. It is not only a card resort for many tourists, but also attracts large film and television crews to flock to it. Over the years, Xinjiang has been fully promoting the development of the local film and television industry chain. Several government officials, experts and scholars have called for the creation of a film and television industry cluster in Xinjiang. In January 2023, Wang Rongxin, a deputy to the People's Congress of Karamay and vice chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce of Karamay, proposed to support Karamay to develop its film and television industry and build a "film and television center in northern Xinjiang". As early as 2014, a member of the Xinjiang Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference proposed that Xinjiang, with its unique geographical scenery, historical culture, and folk customs, should actively absorb external investment to establish a film and television shooting base, attract more film crews to Xinjiang to shoot, and inject new vitality into the film and television industry in Xinjiang. The experts also suggested that Xinjiang should hold a "Film Week" in neighboring Central Asian countries to showcase Xinjiang themed films, support Xinjiang production units to take advantage of language, culture, film expertise, and other advantages, cooperate with neighboring countries to shoot films, gradually establish an international distribution channel for Xinjiang films, expand the Central Asian film market, and radiate Western Asian countries. On December 28, 2022, the Xinjiang themed film Kashgar Guli, jointly produced by the China Film Channel Program Center and the Xinjiang Branch of the China News Agency, premiered in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. More than 200 national dignitaries and celebrities from the country participated in the premiere, making it the first Chinese film to be premiered locally. "Da Qin Fu" was filmed in Wuerhe District. When commenting on the premiere of "Kashgar Guli" (translated film), Pang Bo, Chairman of the People's Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Erken Tunyazi, said that the Chinese film released this time will further promote the people of all ethnic groups in Kyrgyzstan to understand China and the new development and changes in Xinjiang, China. "The diversity of Xinjiang's natural scenery and topography facilitates the focus of filming by the crew, saving a lot of transition costs." This is the voice of many film and television directors who have shot in Xinjiang. Wuerhe Film and Television City is full of tourists. In recent years, the voice of "building a film and television base in Xinjiang and shooting more excellent works against this background can not only shoot more blockbusters with global influence, boost China's film and television industry, but also promote the beauty of Xinjiang, make the tourism industry here more and more developed, and promote the rapid development of the local economy.", Various prefectures and cities in Xinjiang have also begun to actively develop their advantageous film and television industry resources. Among them, Kashgar and Karamay are the most typical. Karamay has also made professional positioning for the areas under its jurisdiction on the development focus of the film and television industry and formulated corresponding supporting policies for the film and television industry. In the Jishi Tribe Film and Television City in Wuerhe District. Pang Bo took pictures in Urho District of Karamay City. Focusing on the Xinjiang tourism brand of "Xinjiang is a good place", he attracted nearly 70 domestic film and television crews to take pictures through policy guidance, such as "The World of the Qin Empire", "The History of Wilderness", "The History of Muyun on the Sea" and so on. Wuerhe District is thus known as "Western Hengdian", which is popular in the film and television industry
