With the promulgation of "Several Policies and Measures for Promoting the High-quality Development of Guangdong Film and Television Industry", the "Star Plan" for the training of young film talents in Guangdong has been formally included in the provincial policy document. The program was launched in 2024, and 10 incubation works were shortlisted in the first session, of which 6 have received or are applying for the Dragon Label, 5 works were presented at the 15th Beijing International Film Festival, and 1 was selected for market screening at the 78th Cannes Film Festival.
The 2025 "Star Project" declaration channel has been officially opened. As of June 1st, young filmmakers can submit their creative plans with Lingnan characteristics and international expression through official website, Guangdong Film Association. This is not only a talent contest, but also the starting ceremony of the new generation of China films.
Light up the creative road for young filmmakers
Under the background of the national strategy of "building a film power", the Guangdong Film Association officially launched the "Star Project" in 2024. With the goal of "exploring local original power and cultivating international expressive talents", the plan strives to solve the problems of lack of funds, contacts and resources in outstanding young filmmakers’ works, especially the first works, through the trinity training mode of "financial support+creative guidance+resource docking". The selected works will be included in the Guangdong youth film talent pool and will be followed up for a long time.
According to the application rules, the selection of "Stars Project" in 2025 will further focus on "telling the story of Guangdong well and reflecting the style of the Bay Area". The declared project must have a distinctive Lingnan cultural identity, or reflect the integrated development prospect of Greater Bay Area. There are no restrictions on the types of themes, but it is hoped that the creators will not only stick to the cultural roots, but also have the courage to make cross-border innovations.
Many incubation works shine on the international stage
On April 22nd, 2025, the "Light of Guangdong Film" promotion meeting of Beijing International Film Festival became the reviewing ground for the achievements of the "Stars Project". In this promotion activity with Guangdong films as the main venue, five "Star Project" incubating works, One Breath Remains, Many Happiness Events, Twenty-four Flavors, Xia Yulai and Walking Street, appeared together, which aroused strong interest and concern of the film industry, especially young filmmakers.
The bigger breakthrough took place in Cannes, France. On May 15th, local time, at the 78th Cannes Film Festival "China Youth Film Global Promotion Plan", "Twenty-four Flavors" with distinctive Guangdong-made logo stood out from numerous candidate works and became one of the three works to show the world the elegance of young filmmakers in China. Directed by Huang Qiling, a new generation of female directors, this Cantonese-flavor film, starring Zhang Aijia and Zhong Zhentao, was mainly shot in Guangzhou, with the herbal tea shop in the old town of Guangzhou as the narrative origin, showing a vivid cultural picture of the old town of Guangzhou.
Swing Dance, also from the "Star Project", also appeared at the Cannes International Film Festival. This film, which is set in Guangdong and tells about the growth of young people, is created by young film creators rooted in Guangdong, among whom director Liu Xing and screenwriter Duan Tingting teach at the Art College of Jinan University/Pearl River Film Academy.
A series of policies help Guangdong films "go out to sea"
The trips to Cannes of Twenty-four Flavors and Swing Dance show the signs of the "Star Project" from regional support to international export to some extent. His creative track is just the epitome of the effectiveness of the "Stars Project"-Huang Qiling, the director of "Twenty-four Flavors", was shortlisted for the short film competition unit of Amsterdam Documentary Film Festival, and now he has completed the leap from experimental images to commercial films with the support of the "Stars Project"; In March this year, Swing Dance won the WIP and White Light Post-production awards of the Hong Kong International Film Festival 2025 Film Industry Office Project Market Film Awards, so it was selected into the Cannes Plan of the Hong Kong Asian Film Investment Association (HAF).
Standing at the historical node of China’s film industry, Guangdong is trying to lay a solid foundation for a big film province to move towards a strong film province through the long-term contribution of training young film talents. The "Star Project" is one of the important measures. In recent years, Guangdong has issued a series of supporting and promoting policies, organized a series of film activities, and launched a number of excellent film works, gradually building a complete ecological chain from creative support, technological empowerment to cross-border co-shooting. White Snake and other Guangdong-made films frequently go to sea, which makes Guangdong films further "out of the circle" overseas.
From the bank of the Pearl River to the Cô te d ‘Azur, the "Star Project" not only illuminates the creative path of young filmmakers, but also reflects the firm steps of Guangdong films climbing from the plateau to the peak. Every time the "stars" shine, they are playing a movement for the international expression of China’s story.

Reporting/feedback

In the first quarter, the water quality of 40 cities in China was lagging behind, and the Ministry of Environment publicly called the roll.

  Our reporter Qi Jianrong

  Under the background that the environmental situation in all parts of the country is improving, the quality of water environment in some places has not improved significantly, or even deteriorated and rebounded. To this end, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment publicly named the provinces (cities, districts) that were lagging behind in meeting the standards. At the same time, the list of 40 cities, including Lvliang in Shanxi, Jinzhou in Liaoning and Jingmen in Hubei, was also publicly exposed.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment pointed out that the situation of eliminating "inferior" (that is, eliminating inferior V water bodies) in the Yangtze River and Bohai Sea is grim.

  In order to ensure that the water quality reaches the standard, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will publish the list of cities lagging behind the standard every quarter, and disclose to the public information such as the water quality status of each province, the progress of eliminating "bad" rivers in the Yangtze River and Bohai Sea, and the deterioration section of water quality every month. The person in charge said that by publishing the progress of the work in a timely manner, social forces will be mobilized to supervise and promote the water environment to meet the standards.

  Water quality in 40 cities lags behind the standard.

  Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment specially held a video conference on work scheduling in areas where water environment standards are lagging behind in the first quarter of this year. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment pointed out at the meeting that in the first quarter of this year, the quality of water environment in the whole country showed an improvement momentum, but there were still many problems. Among them, 40 cities are lagging behind.

  The Ministry of Ecology and Environment published the list of these 40 cities. They are Lvliang, Xinzhou, Changzhi, Datong, Linfen, Taiyuan and Jinzhong; Jinzhou, Liaoyang, Yingkou, Anshan and Panjin in Liaoning; Jingmen, Yichang, Jingzhou and Shiyan, Hubei; Hebei Handan, Qinhuangdao, Cangzhou; Xinyang, Zhengzhou and Xuchang, Henan; Yan ‘an, Weinan and Tongchuan in Shaanxi; Jiamusi and Harbin, Heilongjiang; Yunnan Pu ‘er and Chuxiong; Ningxia Zhongwei and Guyuan; Tianjin Binhai New Area; Hefei, Anhui; Fuzhou, Fujian; Weifang, Shandong; Yanbian, Jilin; Wulanchabu, Inner Mongolia; Dongguan, Guangdong; Qinzhou, Guangxi; Wuwei, Gansu. Among the 40 cities, Shanxi Province has the largest number, accounting for 7.

  At the meeting of meeting the standards, all the deputy mayors in charge of these 40 cities attended the meeting. At the same time, the deputy mayors in charge of six cities, namely, Lvliang, Yan ‘an, Jinzhou, Dongguan, Liaoyang and Yingkou, which have the heaviest task of meeting the standards, also made statements.

  Water quality deteriorated in some places.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment pointed out at the meeting that the assessment of water environment quality in various places is a clear requirement put forward by "Water Ten Articles" issued by the State Council. He said that in the first quarter of this year, the quality of water environment in the country showed an overall improvement momentum. From January to March, the proportion of water bodies with excellent surface water quality (reaching or better than Class III) was 74.3% (the target for 2019 was 71.3%), an increase of 8 percentage points year-on-year; The proportion of water bodies that have lost their use function (inferior to Class V) is 6.0% (the target for 2019 is 6.0%), a year-on-year decrease of 3.6 percentage points.

  However, the improvement of water quality is uneven, and some provinces lag behind. The person in charge pointed out that in the first quarter, there was a certain gap between the proportion of water quality in Shanxi, Jilin, Henan, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Chongqing, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) reaching or better than Class III water bodies (that is, good water) and the annual target; There is also a certain gap between the proportion of poor water bodies (that is, poor water) in Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia and the annual target; Among them, Shanxi, Jilin, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other six provinces (regions) have gaps in both excellent III and poor V (that is, good water and poor water).

  "In particular, 21 of the 58 assessment sections in Shanxi Province are not up to standard, and 20 are inferior V sections, accounting for 36.8% and 35.1% respectively. Of the 86 assessment sections in Liaoning Province, 25 failed to meet the standards, and 20 were inferior to Class V sections. There are 40 inferior V sections in Shanxi and Liaoning provinces, accounting for 36% of the total number of inferior V sections in China. " The person in charge said that in the first quarter, there were still some state-controlled sections showing the momentum of water quality deterioration and rebound. It includes four sections: Situ Bridge of Jianghe River in Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, Tanghe Bridge in Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province, Juhe Railway Bridge (Small Guilin) in Yichang City, Hubei Province, and Woken River Estuary in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. The water quality has directly dropped from Grade II in the same period last year to the current inferior Grade V. The water quality of Ciyao River in Lvliang City was seriously deteriorated, and the volatile phenol in the section of mulberry willow was 199.6 times worse than that in the same period of last year.

  The person in charge stressed that this water situation requires local decisive measures to resolutely reverse the passive situation.

  The situation of "eliminating inferiority" is not optimistic.

  At the end of last year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment successively issued action plans for the tough battles in the Bohai Sea and the Yangtze River, proposing that by the end of 2020, the Yangtze River and the Bohai Sea should basically eliminate the inferior V-class national control sections and other key tasks.

  According to the person in charge, according to the situation in the first quarter of this year, six state-controlled sections in the Yangtze River Basin, namely Qiuxi Estuary in Neijiang, Sichuan, Zigong Carbon Research Institute, Erjiang Temple in Chengdu, Tongxian Bridge and Fumin Bridge in Kunming, Yunnan, and Fengshan Bridge in Qiannan, Guizhou, have dropped out of the inferior V category. However, the water quality of Tuoshi in Jingmen, Hubei, Gongjiawan in Maliang, Shending Estuary and Sihekou in Shiyan, Tongxin Team of Yunliang Lake in Jingzhou and Xiguanqiao in Chuxiong, Yunnan is still worse than Grade V.. At the same time, an inferior V section of Yichang Railway Bridge (Small Guilin) in Hubei Province was added.

  The person in charge said that among the rivers flowing into the Bohai Sea, four national control sections, namely Haihe Gate and Qingjing Huangtidal gate in Tianjin Binhai New Area, Lijiapu Bridge in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, and Daqing Estuary in Yingkou, Liaoning Province, were eliminated in the first quarter. However, the four state-controlled sections of tidal gate in Mapengkou, Wanjia Wharf in Tianjin, tidal gate in North Drainage River and Yinggai Highway in Yingkou, Liaoning Province are still inferior to Class V. At the same time, six inferior V-class national control sections have been added, namely Canglang Canal in Tianjin Binhai New Area, Shahe Estuary in Yingkou, Liaoning, Xishulin in Jinzhou, Yinma Estuary in Qinhuangdao, Hebei, Lijiabao in Cangzhou and Liutuan Bridge in Weifang, Shandong.

  Taking "elimination of inferiority" as the breakthrough point

  The person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said that the elimination of "inferiority" in the state-controlled sections of the Yangtze River and Bohai Sea rivers into the sea is an important sign of fighting a tough battle against pollution. Inferior ’ As a breakthrough, it will drive the solution of outstanding environmental problems in regional basins and ensure the realization of the 2019 annual water quality target. " The person in charge said.

  At present, the problem of eliminating the deterioration of the Yangtze River is the outstanding problem of total phosphorus pollution in the Yangtze River basin. "From 2017 to 2018, more than half of the national control sections in the Yangtze River Basin that are inferior to Class V are mainly exceeded by total phosphorus; The section of the railway bridge in Yichang City, Hubei Province has directly deteriorated from Class II in 2018 to Class V. The primary pollution factor is total phosphorus. " The person in charge pointed out that in addition to total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen is also the main over-standard factor of poor V section, which is mainly due to the insufficient sewage treatment capacity of local cities and the imperfect supporting pipe network, and some domestic sewage is discharged directly.

  In addition, serious agricultural non-point source pollution is also an important factor causing water pollution in the Yangtze River. According to the person in charge, the provinces in the Yangtze River Economic Belt have a large number of livestock and poultry breeding, with more than 340 million pigs slaughtered, accounting for more than half of the country; The problem of agricultural non-point source pollution needs to be solved urgently, such as the high multiple cropping index of land and the difficulty of "losing weight and reducing medicine".

  The person in charge said that chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen were the main factors that exceeded the national control section of the Bohai River. According to him, 8 out of 10 national control sections with inferior grade V are chemical oxygen demand or ammonia nitrogen. At the same time, the ecological flow of rivers entering the sea is insufficient and there is a lack of natural water.

  "The improvement of water quality has a pendulum effect. Simply looking at the data for several months seems to be good at once, but it may be put back soon." The person in charge specially reminded Shanxi and Liaoning provinces, which have the heaviest task of meeting the standards, to take effective measures to ensure that they meet the standards.

  The person in charge pointed out that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will further strengthen information disclosure, and at the same time, it will also study and formulate financial support and reward policies, and give certain financial rewards to those who complete the task of eliminating "inferior" and meeting the standards on time and with good quality.

The steady growth of China’s foreign trade has been further consolidated.

  According to data released by the General Administration of Customs on August 7, in the first seven months, China’s total import and export value was 21.34 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.5% and an increase of 22.3% over the same period in 2019. Among them, the export was 11.66 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.5%; Imports were 9.68 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.4%.

  "In July, China’s foreign trade continued to maintain a good development trend, and the total value of imports and exports achieved positive growth year-on-year for the 14th consecutive month." Li Kuiwen, director of the Statistics and Analysis Department of the General Administration of Customs, said that in July, China’s total import and export value was 3.27 trillion yuan, an increase of 11.5% year-on-year and an increase of 18.8% over the same period in 2019.

  Under the combined effect of multiple factors such as global supply and demand, China’s foreign trade has achieved sustained and rapid growth this year. On the one hand, with the gradual recovery of the global economy, the demand for international trade has been boosted, which has formed a strong support for China’s exports; On the other hand, the sustained and stable recovery of China’s economy has also driven the rapid growth of imports. Overall, the steady growth of China’s foreign trade has been further consolidated.

  The data shows that the import and export growth rate of private enterprises in China is the fastest, and the proportion has further increased. In the first seven months, the import and export of private enterprises was 10.23 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31%, accounting for 47.9% of China’s total foreign trade value, an increase of 2.4 percentage points over the same period last year. In terms of trading partners, China’s imports and exports to ASEAN, the European Union, the United States and Japan were 3.12 trillion yuan, 2.96 trillion yuan, 2.62 trillion yuan and 1.37 trillion yuan, up 24.6%, 23.4%, 28.9% and 12.6% respectively. Among them, ASEAN is China’s largest trading partner, accounting for 14.6% of China’s total foreign trade.

  From the perspective of product structure, exports of mechanical and electrical products and labor-intensive products both increased. Among them, the export of mechanical and electrical products increased by 25.5%, accounting for 59% of the total export value. Automatic data processing equipment and its parts, mobile phones, automobiles and other products have a good market performance.

  It is noteworthy that in the first seven months, the total import and export value of China’s general trade reached 13.21 trillion yuan, up 27.6% year-on-year. The proportion of trade increased by 1.5 percentage points compared with the same period of last year, while the proportion of processing trade decreased by 2 percentage points.

  On the import side, the import of bulk commodities is mixed in quantity and price. Among them, the import price of iron ore, crude oil, coal and other commodities decreased, the import price of natural gas increased and fell, and the import price of soybeans rose.

  From the market analysis, the recovery of external demand and the stable domestic economy are expected to continue to provide strong support for the steady growth of foreign trade. According to a recent survey by the Ministry of Commerce, about 40% of foreign trade enterprises’ new export orders increased year-on-year.

  "However, with the gradual increase of the base in the same period last year, the growth rate of foreign trade will fall back in the second half of the year, and the future development of foreign trade will still face many uncertain and unstable factors." According to Li Kuiwen’s analysis, the current ups and downs of the global epidemic and the slow recovery of the world economy, coupled with high raw material prices and poor shipping logistics, have squeezed the profit margins of foreign trade enterprises, and at the same time have affected the willingness of enterprises to take orders.

  In view of the unfavorable factors such as exchange rate fluctuations and increased labor costs that may occur in the second half of the year, Li Xinggan, director of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that the Ministry of Commerce will further improve the trade policy toolbox, optimize the business environment, reduce the cost of enterprises, and support various market entities, especially small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, to stabilize production.

  "While doing a good job in policy reserves, China’s high-level open platform construction will also help the steady growth of foreign trade." Yang Changyong, a researcher at the Institute of Foreign Economics of China Macroeconomic Research Institute, said that in recent years, the construction of open platforms such as the Pilot Free Trade Zone, the Hainan Free Trade Port, the Comprehensive Bonded Zone and the Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone has been maturing, which will help foreign trade enterprises to make better use of the two markets and resources and promote the smooth connection of domestic and international dual cycles.

  Li Kuiwen said that the recently released "14 th Five-Year Plan for Customs Development" proposed that the promotion of high-quality development of foreign trade must be placed in a more prominent position. In the next step, we will continue to give full play to our own functional advantages, improve the efficiency and level of domestic large-scale circulation with international circulation, and promote the formation of new advantages for China to participate in international economic cooperation and competition.
