As China’s film industry advances towards full industrialization, the Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis has emerged as a pivotal force. Located on the eastern coast of the Chinese mainland, this state-of-the-art facility is transforming the way films are produced in the country.
Boasting 40 cutting-edge sound stages, 32 set construction workshops, and the world’s largest indoor constant-temperature water tank, the Metropolis offers unparalleled resources for filmmakers. Its comprehensive virtual production platform and digital post-production center support every stage of the filmmaking process, making it a one-stop hub for cinematic creation.
In recent years, the Metropolis has become the destination of choice for films requiring high levels of industrial complexity and advanced production needs. Blockbusters like Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force have been largely produced here, benefiting from the Metropolis’s advanced facilities. As one of China’s earliest fully industrialized film projects, the Creation of the Gods series showcases the capabilities of this high-tech hub.
The action-packed Operation Leviathan also utilized the site’s unique offerings, constructing a full-scale submarine set to capture groundbreaking underwater visuals. Other major titles—including the acclaimed The Wandering Earth series, A Writer’s Odyssey, and Home Coming—have been either fully produced or partially filmed at the Qingdao base.
With its blend of advanced technology and comprehensive services, the Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis is not only elevating the standards of Chinese cinema but also positioning itself as a global filmmaking powerhouse.
