Guangdong ranked the highest in the filming industry in terms of average box-office receipts and occupations rates in cinemas. This region has intensive interaction in the filming making ecosystem in term of filming crews, filming places, and directors and cinemas. For example, Hong Kong has one of the largest and most dynamic film industries in the world. As a major centre for the production of film and television content, the city has captured a fair share of the regional market, particularly in mainland China. Shenzhen is also the birthplace of sci-fic movies in China.
Guangdong is at the forefront of the digital era in emerging fields such as internet communication, artificial intelligence, big data, virtual reality, and the "metaverse." It boasts major internet giants like Tencent, NetEase, and Kugou, as well as top-tier animation production companies like Yongsheng, Huaqiang Fantawild, and Universal Digital. Guangdong is home to 7 of the top 50 VR companies in China and has 7 of the nation's 4K high-definition channels, holding a significant presence in these areas.
Firstly, Guangdong boasts the largest film and television market in the country, with enormous potential. Guangdong has the largest film and television market as well as the largest market for Cantonese-language products in China, holding the top positions in both national box office revenue and the number of screens for 20 consecutive years. During the recent National Day holiday, the comprehensive box office revenue in Guangdong province exceeded 1.84 billion yuan, accounting for approximately 13% of the national box office revenue. Since the 1990s, the former State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television has approved the landing of nine overseas television channels in Guangdong, including Hong Kong, Jade, Pearl, International, Phoenix, Huayu, Aoye, Star TV, and MTV. Until 2003, the market share of overseas channels was leading over local television. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics for the first half of 2022, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in Guangdong is around 30,000 yuan, while in Guangzhou, it's approximately 41,000 yuan, and in Shenzhen, the per capita disposable income of residents is 37,731 yuan, all significantly higher than the national average of 18,463 yuan.
In 2021, Guangdong's digital economy reached a scale of 5.9 trillion yuan, maintaining its position as the national leader for five consecutive years, with a digital industrialization scale of 1.9 trillion yuan. This indicates that Guangdong has a strong advantage in emerging industries and can provide substantial support to the film and television industry in the Greater Bay Area, keeping pace with the cutting-edge trends of the era.
