Visitors to the exhibition can appreciate the profound depth of Eastern aesthetics.

Visitors are also invited to explore the boundless imagination of science fiction films, including the awe-inspiring universe of "The Wandering Earth," adapted from Liu Cixin's novel of the same name.

The exhibition also fosters interaction. A "Film Viewing Photo Studio" allows visitors to capture moments of dynamic narratives in static frames, while VR technology offers a plunge into the martial arts realm of "Youths and Golden Coffin."

At the opening ceremony, professionals shared their thoughts on the event and expressed their outlook for the future of Chinese cinema.

Yuen Woo-ping, moved by the replication of his "cafe," said: "Seeing this cafe, it feels like I've been transported back to the filming days."

On the significance of the 120th anniversary, he emphasized the relentless march of cinema: "Film is an art form that is perpetually evolving. I trust that Chinese cinema will persist in its pursuit of excellence and transcend its own boundaries."
