Spatial-temporal Pattern And Influencing Factors Of The Anime Industry In China

In the era of mobile Internet with the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the vigorous development of new media and new technologies,studying the spatial-temporal pattern and influencing factors of the anime industry in China is of great significance for us to promote the Chinese nation’s characteristic culture in the new period,improve the soft power of the national culture,enhance the level of development of the cultural industries with local characteristics,effectively balance the relationship between the market economic demands of our cultural industries and the pursuit of artistic value,and standardize the protection of intellectual property rights in the cultural industries market.It is also significant to enriching the forms of expression of Chinese culture and art and accomplishing the overall consideration between the sustainable utilization of historical and cultural resources with characteristics and modern urban science and technology civilization.Based on the "3T theory","Competitive Advantage theory","User Experience theory" and "Embeddedness theory",this paper takes 2005-2016 as the research time series,and takes 95 prefecture-level cities that have produced original anime products in time series as the basic research units.A total of 3404 anime works was used as the research object to summarize the spatial distribution characteristics and laws of the development level of animation industry in China with the combination of static and dynamic assessment methods by using the triangle model method,entropy method,and factor analysis for a comprehensive discussion.Then this paper analyzes the development mechanism and influencing factors behind the spatial distribution characteristics from the industrial economic benefit,culture diffusion,the policy encouragement,and the technology development,and discusses the directed measures of the problems found in the analysis.The research shows that:(1)The development of anime industry can be roughly divided into two stages based on the production in 2011: the high speed development from 2005 to 2010 and the transformation development from 2011 to 2016.High level areas take the lead in starting transformation and development,and the middle and low level areas actively follow up with their industrial strength increasing steadily.(2)The main development unit of anime industry in China is the prefecture-level city,and the industry is still in the stage of industrial transition from primary to high level;the industrial spatial distribution presents a ladder pattern,and the quantity of eastern coastal areas is more.The level of development between cities is large,showing pyramid distribution;the industry as a whole shows a relatively obvious "two-element and three-core" pattern,with Beijing,Tianjin,Hangzhou,Shanghai,and Guangzhou-Shenzhen as the main driving forces.(3)The transformation development of the anime industry in China is the progress of the continuous game and the balance between its commercial interests and the export of cultural value.Economic benefits are the core driving force for industrial development.The potential energy of cultural transmission and the inertia of the industrial cycle are considered as the rhythmic and balanced forces.The external factors,such as the level of regional economic development,policy incentives and industrial technology development,have a great influence on the development.(4)Directed to the problems found in the industry such as the vague expression of the core competitiveness of the industry,the imperfect ecological structure of regional industries,and the lack of the cultural and creative content in anime works,the corresponding measures are put forward that involved the introducing a series of continuous guiding significance of industrial support policies to build our country’s anime cultural value system and clarify the core competitiveness of product culture and creativity quickly;promoting the industry cross-regional linkage base on the industrial park and animation enterprises from the "two-element and three-core" pattern;establishing and improving the copyright protection laws and regulations of anime works to create a positive anime culture atmosphere and speed up the mature process of anime market with effective promotions of creative content of anime products.
