The writing, The Urban Milieu of Shanghai Cinema written by Lee Oufan, is condensed with a series of deep and critical analyses of the mixed relationship between Shanghai movies and Hollywood movies. It emphasizes the significant impact on the birth and development of Chinese film through the transmission of foreign film, more specifically in areas of the use of movie techniques and exotic cultures. For the sake of concrete knowledge of movie history, it is undoubtedly that readers are given insight into how the shadow of foreign cultures and traditions was embedded into Chinese movies in its initial generation. Long take and montage, two local languages of movies, that were frequently applied in the production of Chinese movies made the importance of looking for originality and uniqueness in Chinese movies and suggested that there was going to be a long-term work at that time point, contributing one of the main ideas of this writing: there was still enough room for the Chinese movie industry to improve.
