• • A series of very informative series of symposium¡¯s have been presented at the SIFF this year. Various subjects have been approached including transitions of Hollywood and Shanghai as China is fast becoming a Mecca of opportunities for American film and TV companies.
• •
Such was the material recently covered in Master Producers with Their Successful Projects with Hong Kings producer Sze Nansun as the moderator of the illustrious panel. Several well known US producers such as Arnold Kopelson having produced some 29 features considered mass-scale of which 17 have been nominated for an Oscar including winning an Oscar, Golden Globe Award and Independent Spirit Award for Platoon.
• •
Kopelsun stated Chinese films should be made for a broader International audience and a well written screenplay is of maximum importance but the bottom line is the indicator of success. Furthermore without a bit of action and more complex plots Western audiences are not tuned into the common Chinese stories of people and interpersonal relationships.
• •
With these correct elements the globalization of Chinese Cinema can take place. Kopelsun invited Chinese companies to join the International market but urged the use of the English language. As well he suggested cooperation with International companies to attract outside investments and the integration of international stars to Chinese Cinema.
•• •
A good film does not require superstars or a high budget, he said. Another well known producer from England Sandy Lieberson weighed in on the subject matter to the audience of up and coming younger generation filmmakers. Lieberson said he has a high regard for Chinese features and that Chinese films have very appealing elements.

STV FESTIVAL - SIFF - 2005

Part 02 - A "LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY" SHANGHAI By: JOSIE CORY
• •
Shanghai is China's largest city - nearly 14 million people - and is one of three centrally administered cities in the country, the other two being Peking and Tianjin. It is also one of China's most important industrial and cultural centres, being host to the international Shanghai Television Festival. In 1988, there were more than 40 universities, colleges and higher educational institutions and 200 scientific research institutes, 46 professional theatrical companies and film industry. Its industrial output includes steel, machinery, shipbuilding, textiles, food processing, petrochemicals and fertilizers, cameras, radio and television.
• •
To most foreigners Shanghai conjures up stories of adventurous exaggeration, for it was a dynamic, violent and colorful city. Most of the European style quarters of the old International Settlement and the French Concession areas are now part of the most modern city in the world. The growth of Shanghai can be credited to Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin. President Zemin is pictured above with Troy Cory in 1988 at the Shanghai TV Festival. The Troy Cory Show, (Joey Lauren Adams) -- was the first American entertainment group to perform in China -- after the cultural revolution (1966-1976) came to an absolute end. Troy Cory was recently honored for his Harbin, China concert performances, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Michael Antonovich, Mayor of the LA County.
