The new era

Parts of Amazing China were taken from a popular six-episode TV documentary of the same English title, which was broadcast on CCTV last year.

The TV documentary was rated 8.5 out of 10 on Douban, a major film review website.

Speaking about how the TV documentary was adapted for the big screen, Qi Guangquan, the chief supervisor of the economy channel of CCTV, says it is a good example of using brilliant TV footage.

"The soundtrack, editing and postproduction make the film appealing," he says.

"The documentary sheds light on people behind the achievements. Each one is a builder of the Chinese Dream."

The country's energy, which is conveyed through Amazing China, can be felt in film industry as well.

By the end of February, China had 53,824 movie screens, including 47,466 for three-dimensional productions－surpassing North America, which had the most screens earlier.

And the gross box-office revenue from Chinese cinemas in February hit 10 billion yuan ($1.58 billion).
