Going global by staying local: Award-winning screenwriter's golden rule

In recent years, a lot has changed in the global film and TV industry. The era of streaming media promises an ocean of products. You can just sit on your couch and let the stories take you anywhere.

Great works are more accessible. Women are playing more leading roles. How will these changes shape the future cinematic landscape? How can Chinese films and TV shows gain a stronger global presence?
