The Guizhou provincial film and television shooting service center was unveiled in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, on Aug 24. It will provide comprehensive film and television production services to the entire world.

At the unveiling ceremony, He Yunjiang, deputy director of the publicity department of the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee, announced the support policies of the Guizhou Provincial Administration of Radio and Television.

The policies include strengthening industry guidance by administrative management departments, providing support and guidance in terms of funding and projects, and providing relevant services for project approval.

Zheng Xin, deputy director of the Guizhou Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, also announced the department's support policies.

The policies include providing cultural consultation services, offering free admission to scenic areas for film crews certified by the center and carrying out location scouting and filming there, and coordinating with scenic areas and cultural relic units to facilitate creative work by film crews coming to Guizhou based on their shooting needs, as long as it doesn't violate ecological and cultural heritage preservation principles or interfere with normal operations.

The development of film and television in Guizhou can be dated back to 1937 when Zhang Daofan, a native of Guizhou, wrote the screenplay for the film Cipher Code.

Now, with the establishment of the service center, Guizhou will cultivate more high-quality film and television enterprises, train more excellent film and television talent, and promote the overall development of Guizhou's film and television industry.
