China has invited world renowned documentary directors to film in its cities, including Oscar-award winner Malcolm Clarke, as well as directors from BBC and the Discovery channel. The directors, together with officials and scholars to discuss how to tell a good Chinese story. Our reporter Wu Guoxiu reports.

A government moves to invite world filmmakers to shoot in China. In the next two months, 30 of them will travel to Shenzhen, Guangdong, Xiamen and other cities to discover Chinese stories which happened past and present.  

JIANG JIANGUO DEPUTY DIRECTOR, PUBLICITY DEPT. OF CPC CENTRAL COMMITTEE "The theme of this event is reporting changes in a great era. Many foreign directors and producers involved are old friends of China. They've witnessed China's reform and opening up process. We believe this event will make the world better understand the achievements and meaning of China's reform and opening up, boosting the friendship between China and the world."  

Among the guest directors is Oscar-winning Malcolm Clarke, who's about to release his documentary on China-US relations titled "Better Angels". He says in order to tell what China is, it's necessary to shoot all over the world.  

MALCOLM CLARKE DOCUMENTARY DIRECTOR "We shot in America and China, we then shot through Africa, through the Middle East, in Europe, and you know it just grew and grew. Then President Trump was elected, we need to reflect that reality. It's coming out in this country and America simultaneously, in theatres, not on TV in both countries. So Nov. 2nd, right before the mid-term in America, the movie will come out." 

He advised that Chinese stories, particularly related to technological achievements, should be told in a human way.  

MALCOLM CLARKE DOCUMENTARY DIRECTOR "Emotional stories are always gonna be better, I think if China can do that, they can break down barriers a lot of people in the world will not be afraid of China, they'll respect and admire the country, and the country does deserve to be admired."  

In the coming two months, the Chinese stories told by these filmmakers will be shared among global audiences via TV and multimedia platforms. Wu Guoxiu, CGTN, Beijing.
