The Jiangong Lake Film Base project, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan ($139.32 million), was launched at the Haimen Digital Cultural Industrial Park on Aug 15‌.

The core features a comprehensive modern film infrastructure that covers script development, filming, post-production, content approval, distribution, and tourism. It is expected to annually produce at least two theatrical feature films, one animated film, 70 TV drama episodes, three online movies, and 200 short dramas for networks.

This project is financed by Suzhou Jieying Film and Television Co, which has set up the Taihu Lake Film and Television Base in Suzhou and has extensive experience in short drama production and film and television operations management.

The project is anticipated to create a clustering influence on Haimen's film and television sector, supporting the growth of its digital culture and cultural tourism industries. Furthermore, the project will connect with various local cultural and tourism assets like e-sports, soccer, and animation to foster cross-industry synergies.

The signing ceremony also saw Nantong Jiangong Lake Film Service Co establish cooperation agreements with top short drama companies such as Judian Short Drama and Hongguo Short Drama.
