At the press conference, Er Dong Pictures Group, the Emperor Group, Entertainment Plus (Hong Kong) Limited, I DO Cultural Corporation, and Pegasus Motion Pictures all released a joint deep strategic cooperation plan to expand their cooperation in all aspects of the entertainment industry.

Alongside the talent agency, Er Dong Pictures announced its cooperation plan with Starlight Culture Entertainment Group, as they join forces to complete multiple film projects with top global directors.

So far, Starlight Culture Entertainment Group has signed up 10 Hollywood first-class directors and producers such as James Wan, Jon M. Chu, F. Gary Gray, Alan Taylor, Sam Raimi, Robert Zemeckis, Roland Emmerich, Sylvester Stallone, Nattawut Poonpiriya, and Jonathan Liebesman.

The film list released included 12 projects, most of which are still still in development stage: these include Sentinel with James Wan, Smooth Stones and Empty Bones and Autoerotic for Sam Raimi, Melody for Jon M. Chu, and Special Forces for Sylvester Stallone. Er Dong Pictures trusts that its cooperation with Starlight Culture Entertainment Group will forge more high-quality film projects for the global film market.

At present, the film market in China is the world’s second largest by box office and Chinese film companies are constantly exploring overseas cooperation. The overseas cooperation plans of Er Dong Pictures have two main aims: the first is to “export”, promoting Chinese film to the world to open up overseas resources channels for Chinese filmmakers and to encourage more participation in the core areas of the global film market; the second is to “import”, not only learning from advanced overseas production experience and operational mechanisms but also introducing high-quality content and teams, fusing creative ideas, and creating a new format of pan-entertainment to further enrich the Chinese film market.

Although Er Dong has just been founded for less than four years, it has consistently shown love and awe to the film industry, and it will now concentrate on exporting excellent films to enhance the competitiveness of Chinese films in the global market. It sees its responsibility as being to ensure the production of the “head” (a term from “Long-tailed distribution” in statistics and business) as standard, seeking out the “head” project, establishing the “head” teams, and introducing the best resources. With the initiation of its overseas plans, Er Dong Pictures will also move closer to its goal of becoming the top entertainment producer in China.
