The modern Peking opera “Shajiabang” ends with such a lyric: “You must learn that there is a green pine on the top of Mount Tai, which stands tall in the sky. The storm can’t blow for eight thousand miles, and the thunder can hardly be blasted by nine thousand thunder… I have eighteen. The wounded must become eighteen green pine trees!” Among them, the “one green pine” is Wu Zhiqin who was born in Mao Village, Xinan Community, Qianqiao Street, Huishan District, Wuxi City.

We hope to string beads into a chain to create a dazzling cultural necklace in the Science and Education City.”

Xixi Cultural and Creative Industrial Park is an important “bead”. If the red culture of Xinan is an important spiritual link connecting the past, present and future, Xixi Cultural and Creative Industrial Park is a “high-speed cultural engine” that is pioneering in the continuous blood.

According to the plan, Qianqiao Street will use the Yangxi River that runs through Qianqiao as a link in the process of building Wuxi Science and Education City, focusing on the “chess eye” of the “dual core and dual portal” of Poly Culture City, and digging into the local historical and cultural resources.

The arrival of various production crews has played a significant role in supporting and upgrading the modern service industry in Qianqiao Street. Only a recent three-month large-scale variety show shooting is expected to digest 15,000 hotel room resources for the local area and bring about 40 million yuan in living consumption income growth.

Building the Yangtze River Delta Education City Integration Highland, Vocational Education Demonstration Highland, and Industrial Innovation Highland is the layout goal of Wuxi Science and Education City. In the construction of Wuxi Science and Education City, Qianqiao Sub-district started from deepening the integration of production and education and school-enterprise cooperation, and deeply promoted the reforms of education methods, school-running models, management systems, and guarantee mechanisms in colleges and universities, and promoted the construction of a group of high-level vocational colleges. School and professional development. In this context, Xixi Cultural and Creative Industry Park and Wuxi City Vocational and Technical College took advantage of the trend to jointly build a secondary college-Taobao Film and Television College, and jointly established the country’s first digital film and television vocational education group. Yang Bin said that more than 5,000 students in film, culture, media, digital creativity and other majors in the 9 colleges and universities in the Science and Education City provide a solid guarantee for the development of Xixi Cultural and Creative Industrial Park. On the other hand, the industrial park participates in teaching, training and other links throughout the entire process, and organizes students to participate in practical work such as filming of the crew. The “real knife and real shot” training achieves the real integration of production and education, and lays a solid foundation for students’ future employment. A firm professional foundation.

Qianqiao Sub-district also started by providing policy support and simplifying the work process to promote the development of Xixi Cultural and Creative Park and ensure the sustainable and healthy development of the cultural industry. In March of this year, at the opening ceremony of the first Huishan Cultural Tourism Art Festival, Xixi Cultural and Creative Industry Park set up the first phase of 100 million yuan film and television investment fund project to support the development of cultural enterprises. At present, the park has gathered 30 film and television cultural enterprises, of which 25 have completed industrial and commercial registration, and 4 enterprises have registered capital of more than 20 million yuan.

We can say that they are advanced and facing the future.” Yang Bin said, from script incubation to copyright trading, to project establishment, filming, production, and production. Qianqiao is quietly forming a modern cultural industry cluster covering the whole process, the whole chain, and all directions of the issuance.

Struggle for a hundred years and set sail on a new journey. You Yufeng said that at the new starting point of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, Qianqiao Street will closely follow the decision and deployment of the district committee and district government, inherit the background color in carrying forward the red culture, and overcome difficulties in shaping the modern cultural industry chain. Deeply plant the “blood” of Wuxi Science and Education City, and fulfill the blueprint of Wuxi Science and Education City, and make new contributions to Huishan’s “second entrepreneurship and second take-off”.
