| Research Abstract |
During the early twentieth century, filmdom in China and other Asian countries was strongly influenced by foreign cinema, particularly American. In recent years, the interactivity between Chinese and Western cinema has drawn attention from scholars both in and outside China; related works have continuously been produced using primary historical sources. However, these studies are still deficient in at least three aspects: interdisciplinary approaches; accumulation of research outcomes, particularly in the film industry; and diversity of historical resources. By overcoming these deficiencies, this research established a new analytic aspect in Chinese film history and conducted preliminary surveys. The necessity of rethinking the generally accepted premise that foreign cinemas suppressed the Chinese cinema market was submitted as the most important result of this research.
