Off-line screening movies benefit the public and enrich the cultural services
On the basis of last year\'s attempt to enhance public cultural services through offline screening, the "Guidance of Magnolia -Offline Screening Benefiting for the People" program of this year\'s TV Festival has increased its screening venues, repertoire and number of shows. Since the first round of free online booking on 3 June, it has aroused strong repercussions among the public. Many of the shows have been booked up in a few minutes, showing the great interest of the general public in the screening for the benefiting of the public. Over the past few days, in the China Art Museum, Power Station of Art, Shanghai Natural Museum, the Mercedes-Benz Arena and other screening venues, many audiences would queued up early for each screening, and the audience interacted enthusiastically at each screening meeting of the cast. Audiences have reflected that the screening activity uses modern technology and equipment and plays TV series as movies, "so that we can share more and more cultural content."
"Guidance of Magnolia", a cultural brand that Shanghai Television Festival is striving to build, includes not only TV dramas, documentaries and animated films, but also 24 VR films for global collection. This also makes the activity, which art and science and technology passion collides, attracting audiences of all ages. Some viewers suggested: "Shanghai has many large landmark cultural facilities such as museums, theaters and art galleries. Although the hardware facilities are very advanced and the appearance is spectacular and unique, there are still deficiencies in the content." The Benefiting for the People screening of the TV Festival is a good demonstration. If various cultural facilities organize more thematic film and television screenings according to their own positioning, many cultural facilities can be transformed into urban cultural balconies with richer connotations, more distinctive images and more attracting."

The short-listed drama is hotly discussed and the judges speak out freely
This year\'s Magnolia Award of the 25th Shanghai TV Festival has undoubtedly once again attracted numerous attentions. On May 23, the shortlisted drama of the Magnolia Award has aroused great response from the audience as soon as it was announced. In recent years, the emergence of a large number of realistic themes and realistic works has enabled many viewers to return to the front of the television, to experience the fate of various characters in the era, and to taste the connotation of life in the sweet and bitter life. Therefore, the competition for the shortlisted films of the Chinese TV series in Magnolia Award TV Section is very fierce.

Accompanied by Magnolia, Always on the Road
Since the first Shanghai International Friendly City Television Festival, the Shanghai Television Festival has set up a marketing campaign, ending the history of no television market in China. The TV market of each TV Festival, just like "Assembly", attracts new and old friends from all over the world, promotes cooperation time and time again, and undertakes the platform mission of promoting industry development, displaying new screen works and promoting communication. While the TV market enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad for "communication, trading and making friends", it has also gathered a large number of film and television organizations and leading figures. As a result, the 25th Shanghai TV Festival specially held a special TV market activity entitled "Accompanied by Magnolia, Always on the Road". A group of representatives of organizations that have witnessed the development of China\'s TV industry together with the market also deeply touched when they were awarded the honorary certificate of "Market Star". Zhao Yifang, founder and president of Huace Film and Television Group, said emotionally:"In the 1990s, we were still a small company. When we first came to the exhibition, it was a very small booth. Through such a small booth, we have made many domestic and foreign partners in the TV market and found a broad space for development. Shanghai TV Festival gives us a stage, but also an important platform for the development of Huace. So, every year at the festival, we will not miss the TV market". Paul Pablo, a representative of Reed MIDEM, has been participating in the TV market for 16 consecutive years. His speech was particularly touching: "Over the past 16 years, we have helped each other and moved forward hand in hand. We send delegations to each other\'s exhibitions, learn from each other\'s advanced exhibition concept and practical skills, and replace each other in publicity, industry resources, international cooperation and other aspects, and work together to build a more professional and efficient communication bridge for the Chinese and global film and television industry. I would like to express my love to the Shanghai TV Festival personally: For the past 10 years, I have come to the beautiful city of Shanghai almost every June to participate in this industry event. Only once, I didn\'t make it. My baby was born that year. As a friend, I\'m sure the Shanghai TV Festival will forgive me for my absence."

Viewpoints exchange, thoughts interweave and reflect each other
With exchange of different viewpoints and interweaving of various ideas, STVForum was always regarded as a weathervane for the TV industry. The STVForum of this TV Festival includes major themes such as TV industry development, thematic variety, TV drama commentary, TV drama creation and "going global" of Chinese TV dramas and other major themes. "Chinese Variety Shows Reinvented: Originality in Production Mode and Distribution Strategy" proposed a new trend of development: While the old popular variety shows are gradually cooling down, a number of original models of culture, history and music have emerged, which have not only attracted the attention of professionals, but also won the praise and love of the vast audience. The common characteristic of these variety shows is "small cost, positive energy and great feelings". Variety shows such as THE CHINESE POETRY COMPETITION, CHINESE POETRY AND LITERATURE, NATIONAL TREASURE and NEW ARRIVAL OF THE PALACE MUSEUM are all very popular among audience. The success of such programs is closely related to the fact that they are rooted in Chinese traditional culture and bring positive energy to the times. On the TV drama creation forum "The Recipe of a Series: Reality Driven, Zeitgeist Defined", directors, screenwriters and actors of popular TV dramas gathered together to hold in-depth dialogues on the realistic themes and realistic creation methods of TV dramas. Some artists believe that realistic themes should emphasize the value of the times, transmit the spirit of the times, pay attention to the reality, and have guidance in life. Some participants pointed out that creators should respect the laws of art, establish their aspirations in the process of creation, dare to explore new things, and present the creator\'s answers to the reality in each work.

The form, ecology and pattern of TV drama commentary in the age of media convergence are all undergoing new changes. On the forum of "Television Criticism in the Age of Media Convergence", the commentators pointed out that the active social media has affected the pattern of TV drama review and promoted the development of TV drama review towards popularity, networking and youth. The diversification of the main body of TV commentary is changing the content and methods of commentary, which objectively not only expands the scopes of reviewers, but also updates the understanding and ecology of TV commentary. Moreover, on the Forum of "Drama Without Borders: Chinese Narratives for Global Audience", senior TV professionals at home and abroad shared with the audience the positive progress made by Chinese TV series in recent years in "exporting overseas" and the efforts to continuously expand the export of realistic themes and promote the integration and dissemination of foreign TV series. At present, the production level and story-telling quality of Chinese TV plays are continuously improving, but there is still great challenge. Many TV people need to break through the limitation of theme, tell more touching stories of contemporary Chinese people, and show the real style of Chinese society to the world with TV plays with a firm cultural confidence.
