20家头部基地大PK，谁能撑起影视产业新周期？

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the transformation of China's film and television industry, highlighting the shift of focus from traditional heavy asset bases to lighter, more flexible ecosystems that integrate technology and respond to new content demands [1][9][51]. Group 1: Overview of Film and Television Bases - A significant number of film and television bases in China have either fallen into disuse or are struggling to adapt to industry changes, with many previously recognized bases now considered "empty shells" lacking comprehensive support systems [4][5]. - As of 2021, there are approximately 313 registered film and television bases in China, with only 50 to 70 actively engaged in production, and fewer than 20 having more than 10 studios [4][5]. Group 2: Geographical Distribution - The majority of viable film and television bases are concentrated in the northern regions (Beijing, Hebei, Shandong) and southern regions (Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta), with emerging bases in the western regions (Sichuan and Chongqing) [5][8]. - The Yangtze River Delta, particularly the Hengdian area, has become the most concentrated and core region for film and television production, benefiting from a mature industrial chain and extensive support services [11][15][26]. Group 3: Industry Trends and Adaptation - The migration of film and television bases reflects a broader industry transition from heavy asset expansion to a lighter asset ecosystem, integrating technology and adapting to new content formats like vertical short dramas [9][51]. - The Yangtze River Delta's film bases are rapidly adapting to new content forms, demonstrating flexibility and resilience in their industrial ecosystems, which allows them to support both large productions and smaller, innovative projects [26][25]. Group 4: Challenges in Northern and Pearl River Delta Regions - The northern film and television bases are experiencing a decline, with many once-thriving locations now struggling to maintain relevance as projects migrate southward to more competitive regions [27][30][33]. - The Pearl River Delta, while a significant box office region, lacks a cohesive industrial ecosystem, with bases primarily relying on external scenery and tourism rather than developing a robust production infrastructure [34][38][41]. Group 5: Emerging Growth in Sichuan and Chongqing - Sichuan and Chongqing are emerging as new growth areas for the film and television industry, supported by favorable policies, resource advantages, and technological advancements [42][50]. - Chengdu's film industry is centered around the Chengdu Film City, which is becoming a hub for both traditional and animated productions, while Chongqing is transitioning from providing scenery to offering comprehensive production services [46][49]. Conclusion - The evolution of film and television bases in China signifies a shift towards a more integrated and flexible industry model, where successful bases will be those that can balance large-scale productions with innovative, smaller projects while leveraging regional strengths [51][52].
