Guests from 10 Central and Eastern European countries visited the Shanghai International Short Video Center in Jiading district, Shanghai, on July 3 to explore China's short drama culture.
The one-stop production hub showcased a wide range of filming sets, from modern offices and luxury villas to virtual studios with digital backdrops, enabling productions to switch scenes quickly and efficiently.
The delegation also entered an ancient-style filming zone, where many guests dressed in traditional Chinese costumes and experienced firsthand the charm of classical architecture and cultural heritage.
Piotr Gadzinowski, head of media affairs for the New Left within Poland's ruling coalition, and Ivan Maric, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia, praised China's rapid innovation in film and television.
The tour moved through historic Shanghai alleyways, departure lounges, and civil aviation aircraft cabins, showcasing the variety of filming settings at the center. Delegates also learned about AI-powered production technologies and how their integration is enhancing efficiency in creating micro drama content.
