Analysis of Chinese and South Korean Co-production Films with Constructivism as The Theoretical Framework

Journal Title: Journal of Modern Social Sciences - Year 2024, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper explores the multifaceted significance of Sino-Korean co-produced films in cultural exchange, national image construction, and economic cooperation, using the constructivist theoretical framework for an in-depth analysis. Constructivist theory posits that international relations are not merely a contest of material power, but also an interaction of ideas, beliefs, and identities. Through this theoretical lens, the paper conducts a comprehensive study of the cultural, political, and economic impacts of Sino-Korean co-produced films. Using the representative case of "Late Autumn," the paper analyzes how these films promote cultural identity and mutual understanding among audiences by showcasing cultural elements of both countries. The cultural narratives and visual symbols in the films effectively shape the audience's understanding and identification with Sino-Korean relations, enhancing cultural affinity among viewers from both countries. Additionally, as cultural products, co-produced films display national images and cultural soft power, serving as significant tools for both countries on the international stage. The research finds that the success of Sino-Korean co-produced films relies not only on cultural factors but also on the policy support and market operations of both governments. Through joint investment models, collaborative production teams, and market-linked distribution, co-produced films achieve resource sharing and market coverage, fostering mutually beneficial cooperation and common development in the film industries of both nations. Despite challenges such as cultural differences, market competition, and policy changes, Sino-Korean co-produced films play a positive role in advancing bilateral relations. The paper proposes suggestions for further deepening cooperation in the future, advocating for policy support and market-driven initiatives to promote the development of Sino-Korean co-produced films in broader and deeper dimensions, thereby providing new momentum for cultural exchange and cooperation between the two countries. Through this transnational cooperation model, China and South Korea can achieve mutual benefits and win-win outcomes in the film industry, further enhancing deep cooperation in cultural and economic fields.
