Beijing Forum To Address Sino-U.S. Film Cooperation; Local Producers Eye ‘Avatar’ Rival

A forum to be held this week in Beijing will address critical issues facing the Chinese film industry, especially as they regard cooperation with the U.S. The state-backed China Film Association has created the International Communication Committee of CFA in an effort to educate and engage the global film community, particularly Hollywood, in how to partner with China’s film entities to access the market. As Hollywood increasingly seek to establish ties to China, some thorny issues have crept up.

With Avatar the 2nd highest-grossing film in Chinese history, local producers are looking to cash in with their own rival take. The state-backed Xinhua news agencyreports that Beijing Chinese Century Media Company is prepping 3D fantasy film Bainiaoyi to shoot in May 2015 in Hengxian County for release at the end of 2016. The tale based on Zhuang folklore follows a young man who goes in search of the bainiaoyi, a type of magical clothing, and defeats an evil dragon that bullies the Zhuang people. At a launch ceremony over the weekend, producers said the team includes special effects directors from Avatar and Pirates Of The Caribbean. “The goal of our team is to make the Bainiaoyi an epic oriental romantic fantasy movie that can rivalAvatar,” said Beijing Chinese Century Media general manager Zhao Song.
