The prodrome of this paper includes main topics, research purpose, researching range and current situation about the relevant research in China and abroad, and the main methods the paper adopted. This essay focuses on the history of Chinese Film Industry, mainly ranging from 1920 to 1937. The reason of choosing this period is that within this period, Chinese film industry has been totally controlled by the market and really been developed under industry rules. After nearly 70 years, China decides to develop film industry in the market again, therefore, we can definitely learn a lot from the history. The article of the essay was divided to 5 chapters. The first 3 chapters focus on history research, and the later 2 chapters are mainly about the revelation acquired from the history research.

Film industry, as one part of the whole country's industries, develops under the instruction of politics and economy within the country. During this period of 1920s and 1930s, because the government's power of controlling the country had been quite weak, and film industry had not been paid much attention for it was a new industry, film industry had not been closed to the government, and had developed totally under the market.
