It is comprised of two phases, held in June and December respectively each year. The first phase is held during 赌博app. The shortlisted trainees will participate in "Training Workshop", film exhibitions, forums, and other major events of 赌博app. While gaining the experience at 赌博app, they will have the opportunity to communicate with domestic first-line film workers, exploit industry resources, and enrich practical experience to prepare for the development of new projects. The second phase “Development Workshop” will be held in winter. Feature feature film projects and scripts will be solicitated from the former shortlisted trainees, and about 6 projects will be selected to participate in activities in the second phase.
