新中国成立之后,此前活跃在电影界的导演大多成了新中国电影的中坚力量。而早期参加电影工作特别是隶属于党的电影小组的一批电影人,如夏衍、阳翰笙、田汉、袁牧之等,则相继走上电影事业领导岗位,推动着中国电影的向前发展。 After the founding of New China, most of the directors who had previously been active in the movie industry became the backbone of the new Chinese film. However, a group of filmmakers who participated in film work, especially the movie groups affiliated with the party, such as Xia Yan, Yang Han Sheng, Tian Han and Yuan Mu Zhi etc. successively took the leading positions in the film industry and promoted the development of Chinese films.
