As the one and only branch CPG has established in Asia, CPG – China's main projects include 3D feature films, sports broadcasts, television events and 3D training and promotion.

According to President Cheng Xinsen, CPG – China has already taken part in filming a number of Chinese films, including The Monkey King 2 and Once Upon a Time, which plays an important role in the visual effect of the film to rival Hollywood.

CPG – China has been committed to marketing technology and expertise to Chinese filmmakers and broadcasters who have had less experience with 3D production, Cheng said.

In the future, CPG – China will continue using Hollywood's advanced film technologies to tell China's traditional stories to the global audience, and furthering the integration of Chinese and international cultures.

In recent years, Tianjin Hi-Tech Zone has been vigorously developing cultural and creative industries. CPG – China is not the only driving and demonstrative enterprise that has been introduced here. The cultural and creative industry in Tianjin High-tech Zone accounts for about 6 percent of the regional GDP, and it is expected to reach 10 percent by 2020 and to build a billion-dollar film and television cultural industry chain.
