After the founding of New China, the movie industry developed rapidly. Ten movie studios were set up. They are the Beijing, Shanghai, Changchun, August first, Pearl River, E'mail, Xi'an, Nangning, Wulumuqi, and Huhehaote Studios. From 1949 to 1966, more than six hundered movies of the 1950's, The White-Haired Girl, Reconnaissance Across the Changjiang, Steeled Fighters and Dong Cunrui had a strong social impact. The following movies The Song of Youth, The Storm and Lin Zexu Which showed that Chinese movies had reached a new level. Movies produced in the early 1960's were more mature ideologically and artistically. Representatives of the period were The Naval Battle of 1894, The Lin Family's Shop, and Threshold of Spring.
建国后中时事业迅速发展起来北京上海陈、八一珠江帆西安、南宁、乌鲁木齐和呼和浩特10大电影制片厂相继成立。 1949年到1966年间,创作了 600余部电影。 20世纪 50年代期间制作的《白毛女》、《渡江侦察记》、《钢铁战士》、《董存瑞》引起了社会的极大反响。《青春之歌》、《风暴》、《林则徐》等电影的出版发行标志着中国电影制作发展到了一个新的水平。 60年代早期的电影其意识形态更成熟和艺术价值更高。代表作品有《甲午风云》、《林家铺子》、《早春二月》。

In September of 1987, the first China Movie Show was held in Beijing . It was presented by over one hundred movie historians, critics,and distributors from 48 countries. Among those who spoke highly of Chinese movies were Gregory Peck, the American movie star; Regis Bergeron, the French movie historian; and Rubanoy, the Soviet movie critic. They all agreed that China's movie Industry had entered a mature stage.
