The story

The surrender of Japan in World War II caused the Manchukuo Film Association to disband in 1946. The parts that were sanctioned by the Chinese government would integrate with the Yan'an Film Studio (延安电影制片厂) and the Northeast Film Studio. The War of Liberation would break out in 1949 forcing the studio to move to Changchun. By 1950 it was considered founded, and by 1955 the Northeast Film Studio technically no longer existed, since China's Ministry of Culture would officially rename the newly combined entity as "Changchun Film Studio". Under the new name, it would also become the first registered film factory under the People's Republic of China.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Communist Party Conference in December 1978, the notions of class struggle and continuous revolution were abandoned. Deng Xiaoping allowed the development of more creative ideas under the slogan "emancipation of the mind". Film makers felt they could at least make films that entertained as long as they did not openly declare their intention to make commercialized movies.

The group is also the founder and host of the annual China Changchun Film Festival since 1992. By 1998, the studio would begin a restructure process including the retirement of 1000 employees along with transitioning from a studio to corporate structure.
