dali, located in yunnan province in southwest china, is located at the foot of cangshan mountain and the shore of erhai lake. it is known as a "natural studio". from the poetic singing of "five golden flowers", to the sword-fighting in "demi-gods and semi-devils", to the healing of the soul in "where the wind goes", hundreds of film and television dramas are shot in dali every year, and a large number of excellent film and television works are also exported from dali to the world.

"we have confidence in dali's film and television industry and are willing to invest in dali, empower it with technology, and contribute to dali with the film and television industry." jiang defu, ceo of bona film group, said that he hopes to help dali's "film and tourism integration" development in the future through field research by experts and scholars, screenwriting master classes, training courses, etc.

in the eyes of zhang yang, a "new dali person" and famous director, dali is a good place for film and television creation. as a recorder, zhang yang has shot 73 short films and 3 feature documentaries in the more than ten years since he settled in dali. zhang yang suggested that the local government should strengthen policy guidance and support to allow more excellent works showing dali's stories to meet the audience; and strengthen film and television exchanges between dali and south asian and southeast countries through the continuous holding of the national film week.
