Features: The starting point of this book is different. It focuses on individual events or phenomena in the film industry while also being more dedicated to the connections between these events and phenomena. Through the search and analysis of these connections, it reveals what the current Chinese film market looks like and why it is this way. The reason this book is titled "The Screen Narrative Circle" is not to explore narrative theory issues or the technical indicators of screen quality. It explores the domestic film market, specifically issues related to the production, distribution, promotion, and market acceptance and feedback of domestic films. In discussing these issues, it is not as steady or systematic as many previous books, nor does it resemble systematic and structured textbooks that give the impression of simply imparting knowledge. It is unwilling to turn the living and diverse events and phenomena in reality into rigid rules and regulations. While doing so may be both convenient and easy, the result could be losing the fun in it, making people lose interest in it.
