The China Film Group Corporation (CFG) is China's largest and most influential state film
production company. In October 2009 a delegation led by CTO, Mr. Chen Fei came to
Germany to meet with the ARRI Managing Board Mr. Franz Kraus and Dr. Martin Prillmann in
the Munich Headquarters, and continued their journey to Berlin to get a first hand impression
of German TV studios equipped and technically designed by ARRI Lighting Solutions.

The group also included Mr. Cheng Yang,
general manager of CFG Digital Cinema
Line Co. Ltd., Mr. Ma Ping, a senior colourist
of the China Film Huairou Studios, Mr. Liu
Zhiping, a senior engineer of the China
Film Huairou Studios and Pearl Guo, as an
associate of ARRI Asia.
The first stop in Berlin was at the rbb-studio
that was equipped with a LED backlight
system and a sophisticated ARRI-control
system for the installed lighting by ARRI
Lighting Solutions. The guests from China
were impressed by the high efficiency of
the automated studios and were particularly
interested in the options to save all of the
lights’ positions within the special control
system and to be able to recall those basically
by the push of a button.
Next stop on the tour was the “TV Werft”
(TV dockyard) at Stralauer Avenue and its
specifically HD oriented lighting installation.
Studio 3 hosts the “Morning Show” of SAT1
TV Channel using a green-box system
designed by ARRI. Since the Chinese Film
Group currently plans on a similar system
for their own shows, commercials and other
film productions, this was of particular interest
for the delegation. This highly flexible
system is intended to replace the currently
practiced setup in China, where lighting
systems are usually not permanently installed.
