Motion Picture Group Chiefs Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca to Speak at Toronto Market Summit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe first title out of Pearl River Film and Guo Ni Studio will be \u201cDreamship,\u201d an animated feature adapted from a novel that has sold more than five million copies. The film is slated for Chinese theatrical release on June 27. A new music video for \u201cUs,\u201d the \u201cDreamship\u201d soundtrack song performed by Chinese idol group Teens in Times, has been released as a preview.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBeyond \u201cDreamship,\u201d the studio has lined up adaptations of seven additional Guo franchises: \u201cAngel Street No. 23,\u201d \u201cLady\u2019s Revolution,\u201d \u201cAdooraki,\u201d \u201cTime Spaceship,\u201d \u201cAnimal Space Agency,\u201d \u201cWan Zi Deng\u201d and \u201cChang\u2019e.\u201d Chen Junjie, founder of Black Body Interactive, said \u201cAngel Street No. 23\u201d is also in preliminary talks for a live-action series adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWang Xi, chair of Pearl River Film, said: \u201cThe launch of the studio today represents a key milestone in our franchise development. This is not only a mutual rewarding partnership between a historic state-owned film studio and an outstanding creator, but also a powerful synergy between our full industry chain resources and high-quality YA fantasy properties. Guo Ni has been deeply rooted in the field of YA literature and franchise development for many years. Her vibrant, youthful body of work delivers uplifting values that perfectly align with Pearl River Film\u2019s commitment to creating premium content, engaging the market and promoting inspiring narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tGuo Ni, who published her debut work \u201cLady\u2019s Revolution\u201d in 2006 and ranked in the top six on China\u2019s writers\u2019 rich list two years later, has been one of the country\u2019s most enduring bestselling authors. She expanded into sci-fi children\u2019s fiction in 2017. Guo said: \u201cPearl River has enabled original stories to truly integrate into the cinematic platform and industrialized production. The technological framework and Baidu AI Cloud have allowed AI imaging and cloud computing capabilities to serve as wings for human imagination, rather than tools that replace creative inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=2493\">Hayley Kiyoko\u2019s Feature Film \u2018Girls Like Girls\u2019 Took a Decade to Make.
