Lanqing (2013/14) writes to tell us the great news that she has been employed by Beijing United Entertainment Partner Culture & Media Co as Operation Assistant in the International Operation Department of UEP, a film distribution company base in Beijing, China. UEP is the first company that cooperates with Hollywood studios (Sony/Columbia pictures) to do the job of marketing in China.  UEP has become a strategic partner with many famous film and media companies. It also has close cooperation with many well-known film production teams from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao. UEP has been distributing films like The amazing Spider Man 2, The Smurfs 2 and Grace of Monaco, etc. in China.
Last year UEP set their branch company in LA and Australia, and they plan to set one in London and another on in Paris this year. The job I’m doing now is writing a UK film market report, which is one of the preparatory tasks for supporting the setting of the new company in London. Lanqing’s department, she explains, is like the bridge between the head office in China and the branch companies abroad. Besides doing various job for support the oversea companies, her department also sells Chinese films to the international market and brings overseas products to China.
