China's ENDING HOLLYWOOD | World's Biggest Studio | 中国下一个好莱坞 | 世界最大的影业
Opened in 1996, Hengdian World Studios, which is known as China’s Hollywood, is the world’s largest film studio. It is located in Hengdian, a township about a 2½ hours’ drive south from Hangzhou, and about 4½ hours’ driving from Shanghai.
As Zhang Xianchun, the chief designer of the studio and designer of the Opium War props and Guangzhou Street, said: “For today’s Hengdian World Studios, film and television are just the instruments. Tourism is the goal and culture is its soul.”
Hengdian World Studios, or Hengdian Film and TV Production City, is the most famous film and TV production base in China. 160kilometers from Hangzhou and 90kilometers from Jinhua, the shooting base is located in the Hengdian Town which sits amidst the Zhejiang-Jiangsu-Shanghai-Fujian-Jiangxi economic circle, and it is easily accessible by plane, train and bus.
At present, the Hengdian World Studios is the largest film production site in Asia and has been dubbed the "Chinese Hollywood" by the American magazine "Hollywood".

Hi Alex. Very interesting video 👍
For those of your viewers who've never watched Chinese TV, I'd like to share with them 2 Chinese TV dramas I've been watching recently if that's OK.
( If not ok, please feel free to just delete my comment )
(1) 'New Life Begins'（ 卿卿日常 ）
ua-cam.com/video/-SuPBoFDNls/v-deo.html
Very visually refreshing and stimulating. Quite funny if you understand Chinese.
(Probably a good fun drama to start if you've never watched Chinese dramas)
(2) 'Princess Silver' （ 白髮 ）
ua-cam.com/video/8HANp-tJXWw/v-deo.html
Excellent storyline with plots within plots. Every episode has a climax. Keeps you guessing.
(But not easy to understand if you don't speak the language)
Feel free to try them and see if you like them.

Hero was NOT a Quentin Tarantino film. He was merely a presenter for the American market of this film produced and directed by Zhang Yimou .
Since the pandemic, I've been streaming Chinese drama series and hooked on how good they are. My favorite stars: Zhang Yuxi, Dilraba, Cheng Yi, Vengo Gao.
Thanks Alex for doing a video on Hengdian. I didn't know it was founded on the idea of promoting tourism and creating jobs for the locals. Now a day, Chinese's Wuxia and Xianxia dramas are amazing. They have greatly improved over the years. They have beautiful male and female leads, beautiful outfits, beautiful choreography of fighting, and beautiful settings. Many of their scenes are shot in Hengdian studio. So, I want to visit there someday.
my pleasure
Yes, this is where a lot of actors and filmmakers go to get a start in their career in the film industry. The competition is VERY steep. It's either you got it or you don't and people can spend many years making their big break here.
Honestly, In recent years I prefer Chinese films and dramas, over American films and dramas.
Having grown up on western movies, I have really lost interest in Hollywood action and superhero movies of the past decade or so. I'm not too keen on Chinese slapstick comedy but I do like costume dramas and simple stories about everyday life (I quite enjoyed Grandson from America). There's some YT channels with Chinese movies.
Chinese dramas were always solid, even back in the ‘90s, there're a lot of masterpieces,
but Chinese film still has a long way to go imo, it still somewhat lacks the skill of good storytelling, I can only think of 1 or 2 good movies per year
on the other hand, yea, Hollywood definitely hit the peak at early 2000s, and declined ever since
Haven't watched hollywood movies for decades. It's all the same junk.
Ever since its gone woke, I stopped watching Hollywood. I was a MCU hardcore fan, who followed every movie and even a couple of Netflix shows up until the Endgame and then the last couple of Spider movies, but it started to become so repetitive and the storytelling and character building quality so bad that I gave up on Hollywood altogether. I might try again in the future, as I heard they just made another Avatar movie that I'm curious about; and I'm also a bit curious about the new Black Panther, because the main actor died, so I'm wondering how they'll continue that story without him, but we'll see.
Me too
Incredible things are happening in China
OMG! This is stupendous! Nothing beats what China does! Hats off to you Alex! for another scoop!
IT IS MIND BOGGLING !!!
How the bloody hell this was created ???
Unimaginable !!!
Thanks for this video !!
Please share
Nothing is impossible if people would only focus on cooperation and shared prosperity, instead of fomenting hate and distrust against others
100% agreed, I moved from HK to Canada at 20, lived in Canada 50 years, don’t understand Mandarin at all, but now I watched more Mandarin speaking movies rather than English ones. I don’t believe myself too.
@@Jasmine.48
I was born and raised in western world with Hakka culture.
Now I speak Mandarin 80%
It's a beautiful language.
Out of this world! Never heard of it before today. Thanks for showing us more of this amazing country.
It is a magical place to visit when things become normal again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
In case you've never watched Chinese TV dramas, I've listed 2 I've been watching on and off in Alex's pinned comment above.
Quite fun to watch if you have nothing else to do.
Another interesting piece of China that was completely unknown to myself until watching this video! Kudos once again to the Chinese for turning another industry into Gold! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Randy for the continued support. I will put this on the list of places we can all visit soon. China has lowered its incoming restrictions. Were almost ther
Never thought movies business is so big in China. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
That's why you need to learn the real china stop believing too much Western propaganda by western media..
Not just movies..a lot of drama also filmed here.
Yes it's big. Very very big.
Many actors/actresses from Taiwan and Hong Kong prefer to work in mainland China because the pay there is many times higher than in both HK and Taiwan (ie, not just higher but literally many times higher).
Fantastic. The quality of Chinese movies and C-dramas have improved markedly. Can't get enough of it.
Thanks for introducing this studio, I didn't know it until now! But I've been watching Chinese dramas for the past few years because they were very good!
Our pleasure!
现在的中国剧不太行了，我小时候看的武打剧，大家都是真打，演员们都有真实功夫，现在的流量演员们不会，武打镜头也不行。还有仙侠剧，现在也不行，电视剧里面服化道太差了，中国神仙穿的都是彩色的衣服，看起来很华丽，现在仙侠剧只穿白色的衣服，感觉要办的丧事一样。以前的三国演义，东周列传，汉武大帝这些史剧可好看了，很还原，衣服很考究。现在中国的演艺圈审美在退化，很少有大荧幕制作，都是小网剧。😀
@@Yaya-pj1yv As someone new to mainland Chinese entertainment -that does not include Hing Kong entertainment of the golden age - I have watched since I was a kid, I find it all amazing and like nothing I have ever seen before. The sets are extravagant and the costumes so beautiful. he scripts are right out of history and novel and fantasy such fun. The actors and actresses are skilled or new and learning and it is fun to watch them reach stardom. You have a cultural gem here and you do not see it the way the outside world does.
I was in Hengdian a few years ago. There are many studios with different themes, and each is like a city within itself. Just touring one such studio called Qing Ming Shang He Tu 清明上河图 was enough to take our whole day. Amazing.
I must say this is very impressive, thanks for sharing this video.
Our pleasure!
when I first saw the China-made movie "Hero" (2002), and later on, "Curse of the Golden Flower" (2006), I was absolutely stunned and awestruck by the massive life-sized ancient Chinese imperial palatial movie set that showed no hint of it being CGI at all, but real solid buildings!
I was wondering where in China was such a thing built, and that it was used for far more than just one epic movie, but many more!
later when I found out what+where, and seen its location on Google map, as well as reading about China's HéngDiàn Studios, and seeing its official website, I was quite thoroughly impressed!
Yes “Hero” is a masterpiece of art.
Awesome
love curse of the golden flower
They built a 90% copy of the actual imperial city.
I had been wondering till this video, how on Earth did all the Chinese period dramas get access to the Forbidden City to shoot their very long episodes! The replica is simply stunning!
Have to confess I'd never heard of 'Chinawood', so I'm learning something watching this. Certainly aware that China's film industry these days is one of the biggest. Over the years there have been terrific material emanating from Chinese directors such as Zhang Yimou (Red Sorghum, Hero, Raise the Red lantern, To live) all featuring the wonderful Gong Li, whom I had a crush on. Red firecracker, green firecracker was epic and tragic. Also fan of the Wong Kar-wai (Chungking express, in the mood for love, 2046). Although he's HK based was born in Shanghai and his movie Ashes of Time, truly a work of cinematic art, was filmed out Dunhuang way. China's film industry rocks.
Thats because they don't call it chinawood, the name has been westernize.
Chinese don’t call it chinaworld either lmao
Chinese film development is impressive, the quality of its productions and platforms no longer have anything to envy to Hollywood, although they still do not have the same international reach. A large part of Hollywood productions are funded by Chinese production companies.
Good to know
@@Reporterfy True, in fact there are lots of cooperations of Hollywood with either japanese or chinese film sites or teams, and in the past 10 years a growing number of those cooperations are actualy chinese, before that was mostly dominated by japanese studios.
chinese tv dramas/film industry already has huge markets. The chinese language speaking world plus korea, japan and asean countries which traditionally have been markets for chinese tv dramas /movies for a long time. With some exceptions, chinese films.tv dramas would be dubbed for distribution in these non chinese speaking countries.
noticed this about 20 yrs back..... TENCENT is HUGE! was it Hardcore Henry!? theres been loads of hollywood movies that were funded by Chinese money, i started noticing Chinese or HK companies at the end credits of these movies too..... not sure about the first john wick, was going to mention john wick but not sure about it now....
did ironman 3 have chinese funding? i remember they added in bits to the chinese outing of ironman 3
Chinese/Korean/Indian/Asian movies have a wide reach across Asia and an increasing reach and interest in the west. Give them time.
Chinese films are gaining in popularity and quality in China. I personally love many Chinese TV dramas and movies such as Wandering Earth. A large part of my interest lies in the incredible sets that one sees created by Hengdian. Once the Covid Zero policy is safely lifted, the Chinese box office will resume its worldwide dominance in selling theatre tickets. Thanks to the many streaming services we are still able to enjoy all those high quality Chinese films. Alex, this was an incredible foray into Chinawood. Film making is another industry where China is making incredible progress.
Thanks for the comment
baby steps..... wandering earth and chinese epics such as ALL the above mentioned period dramas not to mention war movies such as the 800 and lake changjin etc have shown to me that Chinese film industry can do those no problem... especially the costumes and costume dramas.....
its wandering earth that signalled that China can pull off a scifi movie to me..... the film and movie was ok.... but it was massive at the time about WETA works and VFX
Japan filmed one of their period epics here as well but cant remember the movie....
Not even baby steps lol in videogames Chinese studios are making a big noise all of a sudden!! wowing jaded western gamers with a new culture language and myths and legends......
the past 2 years sony have teased, showcased chinese and korean studios in absence of the usual japanese studios...... they are giving sonys and even big western pubs AAA games a run for their money.... most recently Black Myth Wukong is the spear head, a big bloody spearhead lol..... then just this week the Perciever project again matching AAAs that gamers are used to and these studios are supposedly "indie" heck F.I.S.T and Genshin Impact are very popular chinese games....
China just needs a decent Lord of the Rings and a Starwars type movie or franchise....... I have no doubt that China can easily dig into its literary past for a Chinese epic that rivals Lord of the rings, im not sure who can do the monkey king justice though lol.... ive hated most film adaptations...... lord of the rings was supposedly an unfilmable epic too....... the monkey king in videogame form though seems like its achieveable if funded right in Black Myth Wukong
Also with what we're seeing with Korean tv and filmmaking China should be able to produce similar content..... SHOULD not sure if something like "Squidgame" or anything that flirts with the gov or other sensitive issues would get made.... again i dont know how it works in china
i was actually surprised that HK is recently filming a scifi movie....... its weird seeing chinese scifi? to me? maybe because im not used to it, maybe because im also dreading poorly made scifi and chinese scifi at that??? its like seeing Indian scifi or super hero movies..... no offence to bollywood
John Wick has made western "HK" action movie tenable! But JW is definitely thanks to HK action movies and working with YWP and the Matrix etc
Im very excited to see and experience a different culture and different ideas and different franchises now...... most people are tired of starwars and the MCU for example....
saying that im sort of tired of the monkey king.... unless someone properly does the source material justice...
i lie its not even baby steps i think china or the chinese community want to take giant leaps and strides.... china will be on the moon soon for example!
@@Reporterfy Good thing that Hollywood is collapsing, cuz i'm fed up with their CIA-backed "Russophobic" racist movies.
We used to love the Zhang Yimou movies. You can't go wrong with Li Gong.
@@userverseven3516 Agreed, also with the woke virtue signaling and preaching to the masses. Like they care or know how the ordinary people live, but they sure love to tell us how they think we should. I love it that the Oscars raitings are getting lower each year.
Amazing indeed! Never knew such an impressive film studio exist in China. 中國加油！
博主真是紧跟中国新闻动态，昨天我刚看到横店影视城老板宣布，重建圆明园的报道，今天就看到这部影片。圆明园对中国人的影响力，不亚于北京故宫，这是一个皇朝的物质精华。建好后我必定入场游览，非常期待。
China super and fantastic in everything. From technologies to entertainments.
每次都驚嘆你利用無人機拍的高畫質視頻！以及視覺角度！！辛苦你了～～
ChinaWood I love it. Just another reason I can’t wait to return to China！🇨🇳
I was there in 1992 during its early stages of construction, look how impressive it has become. Do visit beautiful Hangzhou on route to it . Best time to go is mid March or mid September.
Wow you have managed to surprise me AGAIN!! Thanks for this informative episode. I simply love your work. Troll on bro...😉
Your video is amazing and very inspiring. Your drone footage is out of this world. Keep up the awesome work!

Worth doing a series about this place. Very entertaining.
Thank you so much for the support. It really helps me
The world can live without Hollywood or similar!!!!!
Been there many years ago and it was a really huge place.
This report is simply amazing!!
Thank you for showing the GOOD that CHINA has to offer the world.
oh no one except Chinese people watches these propaganda garbage buddy, just go to any western cinema when a Chinese movie is played, like wolf warrior 😂😂
Thanks Alex for introducing Chinawood to us. Great work !!!
This Studio makes the Universal Studio in Hollywood looks like a joke.
Great reporting 👏👍.
This Chinawood stadion is so amazing, many people around the world don't know about👍 you always amazing place that many people never come across👍🍺
Awful name. China could do better shaking off shaking off wood.
Thanks for the great introduction, really interesting! At the beginning I misheard "Hengdian" as "Indian", and was really puzzled. Lol... Anyway, Hengdian world studio is indeed mind boggling, very impressive!
Me too! I kept hearing Indian.
you may not believe this, I acted as a small small role in a TV show few years ago, just in Heng Dian. XD
I was a bandit minion, moved and tried to tie up the heroine, but the hero showed up, things go south, I got killed. XD
That's all about my acting career.
Haha! Interesting. Which movie/TV drama?
( You can write in Chinese if you like. 我可以看中文 😀 )
I always wanted to play this kind of role, die fast and then get paid!
@@ChinaSongsCollection not sure if it was online
@@stuartlumi6210 👌
ahaha thats sounds about fitting acting role for me xD
Never heard of it before until now... Thanks for showing us these amazing studio
No problem!
Thank you for showing this well-produced report! I can't wait to visit there!
Thank you for the continued support
Wow 🤩 just wow 🎉❤
Looks like paradise.
We wish all the good shows ..making of Hollywood's studio the best too...also Hong Kong movies ... Again tq for the beautiful heavenly view. ⭐⭐⭐💯
Cheers
@@Reporterfy Wondering why there isn't much to see or heard of any singers from the US Canada. Roy Orbison. Ann Murray. .. John Denver Michael. ...so many Good movies. Couldn't Cheers I'm still wondering why is it domain. What is happening. Certainly not about China development?🙄😇🤔🌎🌏
@@hokeatseng4094 the singers you mentioned passed away a long time ago
@@asj685ya I know that but t the singers and actors were so many many many those days . ....but is strange the younger generation seems is not going anywhere either 🤔🌏🌎
The best science fiction movie is Chinese and it's called: "A Writer's Odissey".
Interesting title.
Make your own movie! Way cool! Sir, you are the master of the drone! Loved the footage! Thanks! Wow! Such a cool place!
Thanks Alex
China excels in almost everything
Especially movie making
I never knew this!!
Great job Alex
Amazing!
First time to hear about this place... incredible indeed.
I love movies from China, Amazing .
Gigantic movie studio, China will build it, amazing China.
Simply Fantastic. ❤️🇨🇦👏
This will definitely be the last straw that will break the China haters' back! 😁Thanks for sharing Alex🙏
Magnificently gigantic💪💪👍👍👍. Hope great producers n directors from Hollywood will join force with their Chinese counterparts one day to produce a massively epic period movie at d Hengdian site using amazing actors n actresses from both sides. Can u imagine that Alex...oh my God ! 😎🙄😙🙌🙆
Congratulations to China. Lots of quality Chinese movies on UA-cam for free. 🇨🇳💓
Very impressive! That's all I've got to say.
Cheers
Great 👍
Looks absolutely amazing!
Hopefully the Chinese will stay away from the direction Hollywood took by making Propaganda driven films.
The best Chinese film I have ever seen remains "The City of Life & Death". A very dark subject in Chinese history but a subject everybody should be made aware of.
Better Days also nice.
what is it about?
@@siewbengwee4530 It's about the horrific crimes the Japanese military committed against the Chinese people in Nanjing at the beginning of WW2 in 1937.
It's pretty horrific viewing a piece of history that everyone should be made aware of 👍🏿
Great video, Alex it's almost unbelievable how beautiful it is.👍
Slowly but surely, China achievements, in all kinds of everything. Now in movies too. Marvelous.
Thanks for highlighting this...... so many hidden gems in China.
Given up on Hollywood 🎥 🍿 years ago. Now just Chinese and Korean movies and shows.
Very slick, professional video, informative, and fun to watch.
WOW This is mind blowing.👍👏👏👏
thanks reporterfy. your channel is very good and quality. thanks for every very very good video, so everyone know about china progress.
Greetings from Chinese Indonesian.💗💗
Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
Thank you very much!
Magically magical Alex!
Cheers
Thank God it is happening !!!😘
A Indústria de Entretenimentos de China e assombroso. 📽🎬📺⛩️😀👏👏👏
Simply stupendous !!! ... 😮
Thank you for reporting on this fabulous place. Absolutely amazing to have a visionary restore the cultural creative IMAGINATION of our past, present & future.
Amazing😍😍😍
I stop watching Hollywood movies and television dramas since Trump was the president. The U.S. is now just my distant memory😢
And also stop listening to the U.S. pop music😉
Me too, 😢
I have to go there one day soon to see for myself.
When I watched Shang-chi and Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness, I can't help but notice the incorporation of certain settings I usually find in watching xianxia and wuxia films and series in those Marvel movies. What I find striking are the plum, osmanthus and apple trees, trees with coloured leaves and blossoms that are typical settings in many Chinese wuxia and fantasy series.
I have already noticed this studio when I watched wuxia and xianxia. But I thought they were located in Hainan.
Simply magnificent.
Glad you think so!
This was a fascinating video.
Great stuff as usual
Colossal and impressive! No match for this.
Indeed it is
China PRC has 5000 years of culture & tradition. morality , USA has Hollywood , India has Bollywood, Its like oil & water
China builds BIG as usual !
Thanks for doing this video/docu. I have always wonder where they film these period C-drama/film .. now I know.
Our pleasure
Beautiful 😍
Thank you for showing this. It is a destination I surely want to go to. I love the dramas and the movies.
Amazing
Thanks!
You bet!
Another impressive production, Alex!
Other good video ..❤
This is the first time I saw a clear drone shot of Hengdian, very interesting.
Thank you please share
Excellent.
I hope to meet Donnie Yen when I visit there. But then again, maybe not? Lolz.
But anywho, awesomeness video! I've learned a lot. Especially when movies like "Hero", "Mulan", and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were filmed there, I really didn't know about that
Magnificent
Awesome video Alex! Never knew about this, love learning something new about China!
Cheers my friend
More costume period movies like Feng Meng Long please, plus a combination of art culture and kungfu is I think unbeatable. As a 2nd overseas Chinese we have lost much of our culture having had to move to different parts of world. But the sound of guzen and sight of mountains and the inimitable architecture of the ming roofs stirs something deep within us.
Chinese movies much better than Bollywood and Hollywood.
Chinese action movies one of my favourite.
Favourite male actor: Jackie Chan etc.
Female : Dilraba Dimurat ❤️❤️❤️❤️
....
Bollywood and South Indian movies industry should learn something new from China.
No.1 dominating Chinese movies all over the world
The Battle at Lake Changjin..
Legendary movie 🎥.
Hope one day China and India make movie together+ dominate too.
❤️🐉🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️💞
.....
Good luck to India as well
Who cares about chinese movies ,not me and billions of others who speak English.
@@darren5971 Have you heard of subtitles?
@@darren5971 Seriously Hollowood movies havent been good for me since 2012, those superhero movies are just awful!
@@darren5971 nobody cares what you have to say
Admire China, best wishes, from South East Asia.
China can build a film studio in space.
I prefer historical movies because they always tell those stories we don’t know, and they are usually impossible to find out in textbooks, history classes, even historically related books
Thank you
u should not use movies as history references. most r distorted for entertainment purposes 😅
@呱呱呱灣灣井底蛙 set aside please type in English
There are some good historical books out there. Check out Jung Chang, Wild Swan, The Three Sister's . Gavin Menzies, 1421 & 1434. Robert Temple & Joseph Needham. John Man,Genghis n Kublai Khan it is part of China's history. Pearl Buck famous Good Earth.. Enjoy reading. Cheers!
Amazing 😍🇨🇳 it's good to have history one place
