SHANGHAI, June 14 (Xinhua) -- A joint1 venture of U.S.-based DreamWorks Animation2 (DWA) and a consortium of Chinese companies will be located in Shanghai's West Bank Media Port (WBMP), government authorities said Thursday.
The joint venture, Oriental DreamWorks (ODW), will be a flagship project for the development of the cultural industry in the WBMP, which is located in Xuhui district, Chen Chengquan, chief of the district's culture bureau, said at a press conference on Shanghai's film industry.
The joint venture will be between DWA and three state-owned enterprises, Shanghai-based China Media Capital, Shanghai Media Group and Shanghai Alliance Investment Limited, with
animated3 film production as its main business, according to an agreement signed by all parties in February. A recreation zone consisting of cinemas, restaurants, bars and theaters is also included in the project.
Chen did not disclose when construction would start.
With a preliminary investment totaling 330 million U.S. dollars, the Chinese side will hold 55 percent of ODW's shares and DWA will take up the remaining 45 percent.
Located on the west bank of the Huangpu River, the 19-hectare WBMP will be engaged in turning itself into a cultural
landmark4 featuring film and TV production and digital entertainment.
Projects from
renowned5 media and movie giants like Sony Pictures and Hong Kong-based TVB will also be introduced here, said Chen.
