Liu Yunshan, head of the publicity department of the Communist Party of China
(CPC) Central Committee, met Friday with Robert Iger, president of The Walt
Disney Co. of the United States.
Liu, also a member of the Political Bureau and the Secretariat of the CPC
Central Committee, extended his congratulations on the successful production of
"Reflections of China", a large-format film produced by Disney with the support
of China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
Liu expressed satisfaction with the cooperation between Disney and China's
film and television departments over many years.
Robert Iger said he hoped that Disney's collaboration with relevant
authorities of China could be speeded up in the future.
Iger, also Disney's chief operating officer, attended the film premiere
Thursday at a specially-designed cinema for large-format films, which is at the
foot of the Badaling Great Wall on the northern outskirts of Beijing.
The film was an updated version of an old one about China, which was shot by
Disney in the 1980s and has been shown for years in Disneyland in Orlando,
Florida.
The new film, presenting diversified cultures, landscapes and the latest
developments of China, is estimated to be seen by 17 million visitors to
Florida's Disneyland each year.
