was among the first in the world to restart film shoots in the wake of COVID-19, the number of projects going into production has been drastically reduced by the pandemic and its accompanying economic uncertainty.
The major patriotic films to expect out of China include “My People, My Homeland,” from Beijing Culture, which was one of the first to go back into production in the wake of COVID-19 and is set to be released Oct. 1, the National Day holiday. Shanghai Film is among the most all-in on the 100th anniversary theme: at least four of its 12 feature films currently in production fall into the category, including “Chen Wangdao,” about the first person to translate the Communist Manifesto into Chinese, and a film literally just called “The Communist Manifesto.”
In the animated realm, Enlight Media, which backed last summer’s breakout hit “Ne Zha,” takes the lead. Its pipeline includes high-profile projects such as “Ne Zha 2,” “Big Fish and Begonia 2,” and two new films from “Monkey King: Hero Is Back” director Tian Xiaopeng — another Monkey King title and one called “Deep Sea,” according to its 2019 annual report.
