Prof. Qian Liu, Dean of the Academy of Film and Creative Technology, has co-authored Igniting Creativity with Reading Intelligence: The Method that Integrates Art and Technology. Published by CRC Press, the book presents a practical model for developing creative talent through the integration of art, design, and technology. Featuring capability-driven learning frameworks and real-world projects spanning film, animation, game design, and digital media, it demonstrates how AI tools and interdisciplinary collaboration can transform modern creative education.

Dr Yiming Chen from the Academy of Film and Creative Technology published a paper entitled "Understanding Privacy Visibility Dialectic in the Post-PIPL Era: Users¡¯ ?Everyday Privacy Negotiations of (In-)Visibility on Digital Platforms" in the International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, an SSCI-indexed, JCR Q1 core journal in Human-Computer Interaction, in October 2025. Grounded in the legislative context of China's ?2021 Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), the study systematically investigates the perception, processing, and management mechanisms of personal information on digital platforms from the user's perspective. By revealing users' negotiation strategies in the data visibility game, this research provides both theoretical foundations and practical pathways for designing truly user-centred data management frameworks on digital platforms.

Dr Yiming Chen from the Academy of Film and Creative Technology has recently published a co-authored paper titled "Structural Dilemmas and Systemic Solutions in Copyright ?Governance of Micro-dramas in the Context of Fragmented Dissemination" in the Journal of Jishou University (Social Sciences), a CSSCI-indexed core Chinese journal, in September 2025. The study systematically examines diverse infringement patterns prevalent in the micro-drama domain and innovatively proposes a multidimensional governance framework centred on the "institution-technology-platform-ecology" model. This framework offers significant theoretical pathways and practical references for transforming copyright governance paradigms in the content industry during the digital era.

Dr Yiming Chen has co-authored "Governing data through privacy after China's PIPL," published in Telecommunications Policy. Through critical discourse analysis of privacy policies from Baidu, Taobao, WeChat, and Douyin, the study examines how digital platforms translate China's Personal Information Protection Law into practice. The research identifies four strategic discursive patterns platforms employ to consolidate authority while navigating regulatory demands, offering insights for strengthening enforcement mechanisms and public accountability in digital governance.

Dr Yiming Chen has co-authored "Constructing the Bodies of the Female AI News Presenters," published in Journalism Studies. Examining media coverage of Chinese AI synthetic news presenters, the study demonstrates how these digital figures are biometrically modelled on human prototypes and standardised to reflect professional norms. The research reveals that female AI presenters reinforce traditional gender roles while objectifying female bodies as programmable entities, raising critical concerns about gendered labour precarity in automated news production.

The release of Ming Dynasty: Abyssal Feather in September reignited debate over the representation of history in Chinese video games. Similar controversies have emerged in titles such as Jiangnan Hundred Scenes and Honour of Kings, where the use of traditional culture has drawn both praise and criticism. This article explores how Chinese cultural heritage can be effectively translated into video games.

This article examines the export performance of Beijing¡¯s game industry in 2024 from a global perspective. Focusing on overseas markets, export-oriented enterprises, and game products, it identifies key challenges in game research and product innovation and proposes practical recommendations to support the industry¡¯s international development.
