  What do you get if you have a dead wolf, an elephant and a horse? No, it’s not the start of a bad joke but just some of the artifacts on display at a special effects makeup studio located in the Dachang Movie Town in Dachang Hui Autonomous County of Langfang City, north China’s Hebei Province.
  Xiao Jin Special Effects Makeup Studio, founded by stylist Xiao Jin in 2010, has participated in the production of the 2014 fantasy fi lm The Ghouls and made over 30 wolves, 40 sheep and 10 horses for the 2015 Sino-French co-production Wolf Totem.
  Xiao decided to move his studio in Beijing to Dachang as his current infrastructure could no longer satisfy the expansion needs of his business.
  After some initial hesitation, he visited Dachang following a friend’s recommendation.“I never imagined there was such a beautiful place so close to Beijing,” said Xiao, more than satisfi ed with the environment and facilities on offer. More importantly, the town’s strong industrial chain proved to be the decisive factor in his decision.
  “For instance, the movie The Knight of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang, in which Jackie Chan plays the leading role, was shot in the town while we were responsible for its special effects. It’s very convenient,” said Xiao.


  Potentials
  Established in 2016 by real estate developer China Fortune Land Development Co. Ltd.(CFLD), the town covers an area of 148,667 square meters with six world-class fi lm studios and three TV studios. It has attracted over 100 enterprises forming an industrial chain incorporating innovative project incubation, shooting, post-production and copyright trading. In addition to fi lms, TV shows such as Impossible Challenge and National Treasure broadcast on China Central Television were also fi lmed in the town.
  The town is expected to embrace new opportunities for development as a program aimed at bridging film projects with investors was launched at the Film and Tourism Forum held on September 15. The program was launched by Dachang Movie Town and Beijing-based film consultancy Juyinghui. A 1-billion-yuan ($145 million) foundation funded by CFLD was set up at the forum to provide fi nancial support for potential movie projects.
  Zhu Yuqing, founder and CEO of Juyinghui, said the program aims to build a platform for fi lm producers and private investors to cooperate with each other.
  Zhu said although Dachang Movie Town has excellent infrastructure, few movies were shot there because the venue was not wellknown among directors and producers. The program is designed to attract interest from those within the industry.
