First of all, the cultural industry has made great contributions to the economy. As a huge industrial chain, the cultural industry encompasses a wide range of fields such as film, music, publishing, entertainment and games. The development of these fields not only creates a large number of employment opportunities, but also drives the development of related industries. For example, the film industry has driven the development of cinema construction, film and television equipment manufacturing, ancillary services and other industries, forming a complete chain of output value. Similarly, the prosperity of the music industry has also given rise to the rise of related industries such as music production, sales of audio equipment and concert organisation. It can be said that the cultural industry not only provides strong support for economic growth, but also creates colourful employment opportunities for people.
Secondly, the impact of cultural industry on society is also reflected in cultural export. With the deepening of global exchanges, there are more extensive and deeper exchanges between the cultures of different countries and regions. The export of cultural products has enabled more people to understand the characteristics and charms of different cultures, and enhanced mutual understanding and friendship among people. For example, traditional cultural programmes such as Chinese kung-fu films and the Dai Water Lantern Festival have become world-wide spectacles, attracting a large number of international tourists to visit and watch them. This not only promotes the development of tourism, but also plays a positive role in promoting the inheritance and preservation of culture. At the same time, cultural export also provides an important opportunity for national image building. Countries with unique cultural characteristics can enhance their soft power and improve the recognition and influence of their national image through the promotion and export of cultural industries.
