Participants agreed that choosing more high-quality films suitable for children, compared with hardware construction, was a problem for the “Yixing Yiping” program. In the current film ecology, the marginalization of children's film production cannot be changed for a while. Therefore, it is necessary to make overall plans and adopt comprehensive measures to solve the problem of the shortage of children's film sources.
