my country is one of the earliest countries in the world to produce and screen movies. after more than a hundred years of development, chinese filmmakers have not only created a large number of excellent films, but also left behind a large number of film industry heritage. the film industry heritage includes both the intangible heritage left by film production, such as unique acting and directing skills, screenwriting rules, film washing or sound effects techniques, and classic screen characters, theme songs, lines, etc., as well as the material heritage that gave birth to the above-mentioned intangible heritage, such as film, recording equipment, cameras, film splicers and film measuring machines, as well as recording studios, darkrooms, film warehouses, etc. related to these equipment. for example, since the founding of new china, changchun film studio has produced nearly 2,000 films such as "plain guerrillas", "founding ceremony", and "middle-aged people". today, many of changchun film studio's old factories and equipment are no longer in use, but they are important film industry heritage.

developing cultural heritage tourism is an important direction for the reuse of industrial heritage. however, industrial heritage has a short history and is mainly based on carrying technological value, which leads to many industrial heritage tourism projects being "more tourism than culture". the film industry heritage naturally has cultural attributes and contains rich cultural resources. it is one of the industrial heritages with the highest cultural value. the film industry heritage is embedded in the cultural and tourism integration scene, which can greatly enhance the cultural value of industrial heritage tourism projects. for example, in 2020, changchun film studio was included in the national industrial heritage list. some of changchun film studio's old factories and studios have been transformed into the changchun film studio museum, which has become a famous internet celebrity check-in spot in changchun.

after the founding of the people's republic of china, 39 film studios were established in more than 30 provinces, ranking first in the world. today, except for a few film studios that no longer exist for various reasons, the main buildings of most film studios are still well preserved and are still responsible for film production. most of these film studios are located in the main urban areas of the city, with superior location conditions and large space for transformation. in recent years, with the advancement of urban renewal, many film studios have been transformed into film-themed museums, cultural and creative parks, and urban public cultural spaces. many cities have also developed cultural tourism projects based on film studios, with industrial heritage tourism as the path to realization and film culture as the theme.
