The China Movie Metropolis in Qingdao West Coast New Area is poised to mark its seventh year of operations on April 28.

In terms of film output, influence, and industrial breakthroughs, the China Movie Metropolis has emerged as a pivotal hub in the Chinese movie industry.

"The China Movie Metropolis is home to a multitude of professional studios, exuding a remarkably high degree of modernization," said Wuershan, director behind the acclaimed Creation of the Gods film series.

The China Movie Metropolis has serviced over 300 film and television works, variety shows, large-scale events, and brand advertisements, contributing nearly 40 billion yuan ($5.48 billion) to the Chinese film industry.

In March of this year, a live-action studio spanning over 12,000 square meters commenced operations within the park, featuring more than 20 themed sets with distinct styles including subway stations, hospitals, and schools.
