China News Service, Xiamen, November 10 (Reporter Lin Yongchuan) On the 10th, a special event to promote Fujian films at the 2026 China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was held at Xiamen University. More than 200 people from film authorities, industry associations, film and television companies, universities and filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait attended the event.
Jiang Erxiong, Vice Governor of the People's Government of Fujian Province, and Cao Jun, member of the Party Committee and Deputy Secretary-General of the China Film Association, attended the event and delivered speeches. Hu Wenping, President of Xiamen University, delivered a welcome speech. Famous filmmakers Hong Zuxing, Huang Jianxin, Chen Li, Li Youning, etc. attended.
The special event focused on film creation, industrial cooperation, cross-strait exchanges and talent cultivation. Through industry dialogue, project promotion, and the release of the 2026 Fujian and Taiwan Youth Film Talent Training "Integration Plan" project, Fujian's rich film resources and film development achievements were demonstrated.
In the "Light and Shadow Dialogue" session, filmmakers Zhou Jiandong, Huang Jianxin, Zhang Shaotong, Li Youning, Chen Lingzhen and other guests shared their views on the theme of mutual promotion between the China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and Fujian Film from the perspectives of industry promotion, work incubation, and talent cultivation.
At the event, two film projects that have been recently supported by the Fujian Provincial Film Bureau were promoted: the Yue opera film "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the film "Bloom", a tribute to the centenary of the founding of the army.
In recent years, Fujian film creation has continued to achieve new results. In 2025, the Fujian opera film "Double Butterfly Fan" won the Best Drama Film Award at the 38th China Golden Rooster Awards, "Guardian: Wind Rises in the Desert" received 7 nominations at the 39th China Golden Rooster Awards, and "Atlantic" won the 29th "Golden Goblet Award" at the Shanghai International Film Festival. From the on-screen expression of traditional opera art, to the artistic innovation of domestic animated films, to the creative exploration of martial arts-themed works, Fujian's accumulation in different types of film creation shows the various possibilities for the integration and development of local cultural resources and modern film art.
Fujian has also integrated the province's film and television shooting resources, optimized co-production services and industrial supporting facilities, and continued to improve the "Shooted in Fujian" brand. At present, the province has built 6 major film bases including Fuzhou and Xiamen and 20 key location shooting bases, forming a mature shooting base service industry chain, attracting more than 100 film crews to Fujian for filming every year.
The common cultural roots and humanistic sentiments of Fujian and Taiwan provide unique advantages for cross-strait film exchanges and cooperation. From the cultivation of young talents to cooperation in film projects, Fujian is leveraging its advantages in exchanges with Taiwan to explore new paths for cross-strait film and television cooperation.
In September this year, the Fujian Provincial Film Bureau launched the "Integration Plan" for cultivating young talents in Fujian and Taiwan films. A total of 31 projects co-created by both sides of the Taiwan Strait were collected. After review, five nominated projects were selected and released at the event. Among them, the main creative teams of the three projects "May the Autumn Wind Know My Will", "Tidal Beach Football" and "Wonderful Us" gave on-site introductions focusing on the project's creative features, subject matter and content, market potential and cooperation space.
This event is guided by the China Film Association and the Propaganda Department of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and hosted by the Fujian Provincial Film Bureau.
