Yunnan film two treasures
Natural Studio+Cradle of Minority Movies
"In 2002, the TV series" Qian Wang "starring Zhao Wenxuan and I filmed in Yunnan. Since then, I have formed an indissoluble bond with this magical land with the reputation of’ the south of colorful clouds’."
Yu Rongguang is a Beijinger to the core. In his view, Yunnan has long been his second hometown.After starring in the TV series "Qian Wang", Yu Rongguang began to try to be a director and producer, and set up a local film and television production team in Yunnan, and launched hundreds of film and television works, winning many awards including the Five One Project Award, Golden Rooster Award, Flying Award and Golden Eagle Award.
The TV series Mufu Fengyun, directed by Yu Rongguang, tells the feud and enmity within the Mu family during the local rule in Naxi, Yunnan Province in the Ming Dynasty, and integrates the customs of Naxi people in Yunnan into historical stories, conveying the spiritual theme of national unity and harmony. The drama became the first CCTV TV series with a rating of 200 million.
In 2018, Yu Rongguang directed the costume martial arts drama "Breaking the Sky", starring Leo and Jelly Lin, and also shot in Yunnan. The unique natural scenery in Yunnan injected more magnificent fantasy colors into the film.
There are also many excellent directors in China who have led teams to Yunnan to shoot and create in many film and television bases, such as Yulong Bay in Kunming, Yuanyang Terrace, Shuhe Tea-Horse Ancient Road and Shilin Jiuxiang.
Zhang Yimou’s Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles, Jiang Wen’s and Cao Baoping’s Li Mi’s Conjecture, Ning Hao’s The Way to Spend the Heart, JASON ZHANG’s and Cheng ‘er’s lethal hostage, etc., which are well-known movies at home and abroad, have publicized Yunnan’s treasures and expanded the reputation of Yunnan’s rich culture.

For example, Zhou Xun won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress in Chinese films for the first time with Li Mi’s Guess. Because of a go to dali, many viewers saw for the first time that Bo Huang not only can act, but also has a good singing voice, and the movie "Let’s Go" became the box office champion of domestic films in 2014.
Yunnan is rich in film and television resources, which is not only known as a "natural studio", but also a major feature of Yunnan films with minority themes, occupying an irreplaceable position in the history of China films.
The first film about ethnic minorities in Yunnan was The Bells of Horses in the Mountains, which was filmed in 1954. Subsequently, Love Song of Lusheng, Five Golden Flowers and Ashima came out one after another and became popular all over the country.
Love Song of Lusheng uses images to outline the beauty of the Lancang River, Five Golden Flowers make Cangshan Erhai famous at home and abroad, and Ashima makes people realize the beautiful wonders of the Stone Forest. These three films show the ethnic customs of Lahu, Bai and Yi respectively, and together, they have made great achievements in the film history of Yunnan.
After the reform and opening-up, Yunnan minority films gradually expanded to genre films, and romantic films, war films and myth films full of local characteristics emerged one after another. In the new century, the themes of Yunnan minority movies are more diverse, and the lens is more focused on the individual stories of the ethnic groups, which is also more artistic.
Such as "The Court on horseback", "Biluo Snow Mountain" and "The Taste of Rice Flowers" and other literary masterpieces, actively participated in the international competitive market, were shortlisted for major international film festivals, won many awards, and spread the charm of "the south of colorful clouds" to all corners of the country.
As the first state-owned film studio in Yunnan Province, Yunnan Ethnic Film Studio is rooted in the fertile soil of Yunnan minority culture, and has filmed more than 50 ethnic feature films for decades.
Next, Yunnan Ethnic Film Studio will continue to maintain the fine tradition of creating ethnic films. Chunmin Zhao, the director of the factory, said: "At present, the Dai theme film Ye Da, the Bulang theme film and the Achang theme film Knife Sacrifice have been filmed, and the Wa theme film The Wa people sing new songs again is in operation."
It can be predicted that Yunnan minority movies are gradually forming local brands and gaining the popularity of "Yunnan Image".

Golden flowers are in full bloom, south of colorful clouds, and Yunnan is a shooting paradise that filmmakers yearn for. In the future, Yunnan also needs to continue to make full use of the advantages of national cultural resources, accelerate the support of local film and television creation, tell the story of Yunnan well, and tell the story of China well, so that more Yunnan films can go out of China and go overseas.
Just like the ardent expectation of filmmaker Yu Rongguang: "Let’s take root in this hot land of Yunnan, dig up Yunnan’s history, culture and national stories, and show the charming Yunnan to the world through film and television works."
