Abstract

Since Hong Kong was once considered to be the front line of the Cold War against China in the Anglo-American world, its film and television productions have been a significant ideological battlefield. Especially at that time, the western digital film and television production had a strong impact on the construction of national ideology in Hong Kong. It is evident that the artistic strategy of China's national image formation in the region, as viewed through film and television productions, has a targeted cultural and strategic orientation value. In this regard, this paper presents the viewpoints from the perspective of the development history of Hong Kong's film and television productions as well as the successful experience of image construction in Europe and America since the mid-twentieth century.

Highlights

Being once at the forefront of the Cold War against China in the western world, Hong Kong's local film and television productions have been penetrated and manipulated by western ideologies to a greater or lesser extent
It is necessary to address the ideology of Hong Kong's film and television productions as a starting point of the issue so as to pay attention to the national image construction of China in the region
After Hong Kong was occupied by the British in 1945, Western-style education was further promoted, where all Hong Kong people, being guided by the colonial government and the social elite, embarked on the path of "worshipping the British"
