The Foreign Ministry responded to the boom in the Chinese film market during this year's Spring Festival
At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on February 6, a media question said that the Chinese film market was very hot during the Spring Festival this year. We have noted foreign media comments that the boom in China's Spring Festival film market is encouraging as it shows the recovery of the consumer market. Meanwhile, the popularity of Chinese Spring Festival films shown overseas reflects the improvement of China's cultural soft power. What is the spokesman's comment?
"Watching movies during the Spring Festival has become a new custom, and the film market for the Spring Festival of the Year of the Snake is getting off to a good start." Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said in response to inquiries that statistics show that as of February 5, the total box office of new films released during the Spring Festival has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and the number of moviegoers has reached 187 million, another record high. Several films were released overseas simultaneously, and some topped the box office for local non-English language films.
He said that the hot Spring Festival box office reflects the vigorous vitality of China's consumer market, but also highlights the strong internal impetus of China's economy and broad prospects for development, and the films that go abroad step by step have become a new bridge for Sino-foreign exchanges and a new window for the world to see China.
"We welcome tourists from all over the world to make good use of the visa-free and visa facilitation policies to come to China and experience the unique charm of Chinese culture." Guo Jiakun said
A slew of Chinese movies premiered simultaneously overseas, some of which reigned as the top-grossing non-English language film at the local box office.
