Mr. Wu pointed out that during a new round of strategic development, it is important to take the initiative to speed up the construction of high-quality and innovative industrial layout. First, grasp the trend, give full play to advantages and accelerate the integration and innovation development of the cultural and creative industries. Do good work on depth integration and empowerment of digitalization, technology and city on cultural and creative industries. Second, serve the big picture, focus on key points, and promote the development of cultural and creative industries to a new level. It is necessary to accelerate the digital transformation and upgrading, and shape new digital advantages of cultural and creative industries. Make every effort to promote the reform of "supply side" of cultural and creative industries to meet the new demand of consumption upgrading. Deeply integrate into the urban development pattern and expand new space for industrial development. What’s more, comprehensively promote the layout of the 14th Five-year Plan and create a new landscape for industrial development.
Ms. Zhou pointed out that cultural and creative industries are Shanghai’s pillar industries, while the industrial system, industrial support and development pattern still have some shortcomings. First, strengthen the three "actions". Accurately grasp the time and trend of the development of cultural and creative industries. Enhance the self-confidence of "promising", enhance the sense of responsibility of "taking the initiative" and the sense of urgency of "seizing the initiative". Second, highlight the four "innovations" and identify the main attack points for promoting the high-quality development of cultural and creative industries. Efforts should be made to build a new pattern of development, to create new advantages of digital economy, to achieve new breakthroughs in key areas, and to explore new paths of integrated development. Third, do a good job in three "changes" to provide strong support for the development of cultural and creative industries. Strengthen the correct guidance; optimize the business environment; deepen collaborative participation.
At the meeting, Wang Yayuan, Vice Minister of the Publicity Department of CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and Executive Deputy Director of Shanghai Municipal Leading Group Office for Promoting Cultural and Creative Industries, briefed on the progress of Shanghai cultural and creative industry work and the next arrangements.
