History
Many of the individual entertainment production hubs were the center of art and culture for the country going as far back as the 1890s. After the establishment of New China in 1950, numerous studios were established in session all around Shanghai. Many would merge with smaller companies that offer similar functions.
By January 2017, Shanghai Film Group was the second largest film exhibitor in China behind Dalian Wanda Group. On January 19, 2017, Shanghai Film Group Corp. and Huahua Media said they would finance at least at least 25% of all Paramount Pictures movies over a three year period. Shanghai Film Group and Huahua Media, in the deal, would help distribute and market Paramount's features in China.
Studios today
While all the studios are located in Shanghai, they do not all function within the same facility. A number of studios have gone through different name changes throughout the years. Shanghai Film Studio has been the main component for the company.
