A few days ago, New Zealand Minister of Economic Development Simon Bridges and Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage Maggie Barry said in a joint statement that the New Zealand government will allocate 303.9 million New Zealand dollars (US $208 million) for New Zealand film production and international cooperation. According to the plan, the New Zealand government will invest NZ $222 million in the next four years to promote overseas producers to come to New Zealand to produce film and television productions, while NZ $63.9 million will be allocated for domestic film and television production.

Film and television production is one of the important industries in New Zealand. New Zealand, known as "the last virgin land in the world", was once hailed as "the hottest producer country in the world" by time magazine. Since 2014, the New Zealand government has supported about 50 international producers to produce films in New Zealand, while allocating NZ $100m to support 23 domestic productions, Bridges said.

with the support of the government, not only famous films such as "the Lord of the Rings", "Piano lessons" and "the Legend of Narnia" are set in New Zealand, but in recent years, many Chinese films and TV dramas and Reality Show have been filmed or filmed in New Zealand.

at the same time, in the process of working with filmmakers from many countries, New Zealand filmmakers are also trying to revitalize their film career-famous filmmakers such as Peter Jackson and Jane Campion continue to emerge, and Vita Studios is famous in film and television props, digital post-production and other fields-the New Zealand Film Corps composed of them has become a trend setter in the film industry again and again. Every year, many foreign blockbusters come to New Zealand for later work, including Titanic, Avatar, the Avengers, the Hunger Games and so on.

this effort has not been in vain. On the one hand, international cooperation in film and television production has boosted New Zealand's tourism industry. Take Lord of the Rings as an example, the film covers a total of 150 locations in the North and South Islands of New Zealand, from icebergs to volcanoes and farmland through forests and lakes. According to New Zealand government statistics, 18% of tourists said they chose to come to New Zealand because of the film the Lord of the Rings. Since 2014, the film industry has created 24700 jobs for New Zealand, generating 14000 jobs and generating NZ $3.3 billion a year.

on the other hand, picturesque New Zealand has also attracted a large number of immigrants and investors. According to the latest data released by the New Zealand Bureau of Statistics, New Zealand's population surged by 100300 as of March 31, the largest nominal increase since the colonial era in Europe. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), New Zealand has one of the fastest house price growth regions in the world, mainly due to the influx of foreign investors and immigrants.

at the same time, cooperation with international film and television production also promotes the development and progress of science and technology. Today, artificial intelligence and robotics developed from the film and television production industry have been used in many areas of economic development in New Zealand, such as health care.
