　　W&B will also be present during the Film Festival from June 14^th to June 16^th at the film transaction market at the Shanghai Exhibition Center (location: E27/2F, West No.1 Exhibition Hall). The film transaction market of the Shanghai International Film Festival is the most professional film transaction platform in China. Each year it attracts large film production and distribution companies from both home and abroad as well as hundreds of international buyers. Renowned domestic and foreign exhibitors represent areas including film investment and financing, production, post-production, special effects, visual effects, distribution, marketing, legal affairs and games, which taken together represent a diversified market structure. The International Film Market first emerged in 2014, and since then it has prompted over 400 heavyweight domestic and foreign exhibitors to set up exhibitions for over 2,867 buyers observing transactions.

　　W&B will also make appointments to discuss film projects with several directors, producers and officers of film corporations. It will then select two films with the greatest potential from among 35 candidate films represented at the film transaction market, issue awards titled “Awards with Special Attention from W&B” and provide them with one-stop film and entertainment legal services.
