The 1930s was a turning point in the development of Chinese films. At that time, the social crisis and national crisis were unprecedentedly urgent, and the film industry was facing collapse. The rise of left-wing films injected new vitality into the film industry. Taking this opportunity, domestic films formed an unprecedented prosperity in the mid-1930s. At that time, the so-called "three major companies" were the so-called "stars", "Lianhua" and "Tianyi". Among them, the company's publications published by "stars" and "Lianhua" were widely distributed and had a large number of readers. They were the two most influential film magazines at that time.
"Star" is the first company to propose changes when the film interface is facing a crisis. Therefore, the "Star Monthly" founded on May 1, 1933 is very different from the fixed model of previous company special issues. The magazine focuses on the discussion of the entire film strategy and is not limited to the promotion of a certain company or a certain film. Taking the first issue as an example, the articles of Fengwu (Aying), Xi Naifang ( Zheng Boqi ), Zhang Ishikawa , Zheng Zhengqiu and Chen Wu clearly show the anxious sense of mission and stubborn pursuit in the time of the changes of the times. The editor-in-chief of the magazine is Lu Xiaoluo.
The "Star" semi-monthly issue, founded on April 16, 1935, continues the characteristics of the monthly report and has a more vivid and lively arrangement. The publication was suspended from July 1, 1937 to the sixth issue of the eighth volume. Except for the sixth volume, the sixth volume produced 6 issues and 5 copies, each volume produced 6 issues and 6 copies, with a total of 48 issues and 47 copies. Gao Jilin ( Ke Ling ), Fan Yanqiao and others have served as editors. When explaining the purpose of the publication, Ke Ling, editor-in-chief of
, said: "This publication is published by celebrity film companies, but we hope that readers will not regard it as a general pure promotional publication; but a celebrity company's production in a kind of text other than the video - efforts in the other direction of film culture... There are many about celebrities here. The company's pictures and texts, but we will never have to exaggerate lying to deceive readers. "To implement the specific style, it is: "We must try our best to be beautiful in the arrangement format to increase readers' interest in reading; the text can be compiled lively and vividly, with more literary interest." ("Miscellaneous Notes after Editing", Volume 1, Issue 1)
is a pictorial magazine, which takes into account both ideological and entertaining nature, and includes both text, pictures and comics, with the focus on text. Among them, the introduction of "celebrities" produces, in addition to publishing conventional promotional texts such as movie skills and crew lists, also organizes the directors and actors of the film, and other staff to write creative motivations and filming experiences. Usually, when a new film is launched, a column will be set up in the publication, and the experiences of the main creators of the crew will be published, such as "The Night Comes in the Fragrance" (1935), "The Boatman Girl" (1935), "The Flower of Spring" (1936), "Peach and Plum Fight for Beauty" (1936), " New and Old Shanghai " (1936), "Diamond Diamond" (1936), "Qingming Festival" (1936), "Life and Death The films such as "Heart" (1936), "Cross Street" (1937) all adopt this method.

Among them, Yao Xinnong's "About Qingming Festival" and Bai Yang's "The First Trial" are both the author's "first" experience. The former was written for the first time in writing a movie script, while the latter was the feeling of being on the screen for the first time.

He also attaches great importance to the exchange of thoughts and feelings with readers, and sets up a column called "Reader Mailbox" to interact with him. The bimonthly magazine of "Celebrity" abandons the teaching color and seeks more communication in an inspiring and inducing manner. It has become a publicity-centric but thoughtful and entertaining film magazine with a circulation of up to 25,000 volumes, which is "the one with the most readers in Chinese film magazines."
