"Spirit" Becomes the Motive Force of Shanghai Film Group.

Market-oriented assessment mechanism to shape a new look of the team


China film market has entered the "spring" ahead of schedule.


According to the preliminary statistics of the National Film Office, as of March 5, the box office of national city cinemas in 2023 has exceeded 14.1 billion yuan, better than the same period last year. Among them, the total box office of six new films in the Spring Festival in 2023 exceeded 12.1 billion yuan.


"The box office of the Spring Festival file is good, and the number of people watching movies has increased greatly. Sometimes it is hard to find a ticket. We have been waiting for this moment for more than two years, so after the opening of the Spring Festival this year, it really gave us all the employees in the film industry great excitement. "Wang Jianer said frankly that the popularity of this Spring Festival file made him too excited to sleep.



In the past three years, Shanghai Film Group has been working hard for the accelerated recovery of China film market. According to statistics, during the period from 2020 to 2022, the company participated in the production of many well-received and blockbuster domestic films, with a total box office of 12.506 billion yuan.


This achievement has condensed the efforts of many filmmakers.



"These three years are unforgettable for us filmmakers, for Shanghai Film, and for myself. I want to sum it up with three words — — Usually, people may think that under the epidemic, people will lie flat and be discouraged; But for Shangying, these three years are just the opposite. " Wang Jianer bluntly said that "spirit" is the strategic guiding ideology of Shanghai Film Group.


The so-called "essence" refers to "Excellence". During the epidemic,Shanghai Film Group discussed the "14th Five-Year Plan" strategy, and finally determined the three core strategies of "fine content, big IP development and digital transformation", making "Excellence" an important creative standard in the development process of Shanghai Film Group in the next five to ten years.



"Qi" refers to the momentum and style of filmmakers — — If China film industry wants to maintain high quality and high speed development, it must have a vibrant film talent team. This is also the overall requirement of Shanghai Film Group for the construction of the company’s talent team. And "God" refers to the energetic mental outlook of film practitioners.


In order to let the team gather more "spirits", Shanghai Film Group has continuously strengthened its efforts in personnel training and talent exchange since the epidemic. The market-oriented assessment mechanism for all employees is being promoted in the group, and every employee must finally be able to determine his own goal, thus forming an accelerated development situation in Shanghai.


China film market will not live up to good content, nor will it live up to every creator who makes content attentively. In the future, this "spirit" will also be accompanied by the accelerated growth of Shanghai Film Group.

It is not the competition between single films, but the competition of various formats to expand the value of films and form a benign industrial investment environment. " At the theme forum of the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival in 2021, Wang Jianer once admitted that the current China film market should fully tap the potential of film IP.
