The study uses the image technique of the movie (analysis) since there are limited analyses and data of the dance film's (cinematic) grammar. The films are limited to the Wim Vandekeybus's Blush. From the analysis of the one film, films are directed using basic movie grammars. Although the films are of the same genre, it differs from the method of using image techniques as well as the director's personal art preference. The cinematic grammars enhance the effect of the movement and it emphasizes the objectives to deliver the audience true meaning of the films. Dance film is not a simple word combination of dance and film to record new type of art; dance is used for the movie's artistic and aesthetic enhancement.

Since the placement of the THAAD missiles has recently cooled the relationship between Korea and China, many Korea-China joint films and entertainment businesses have collapsed. To make matters worse, there is also many opinions for "Korea-China joint film useless" in China through the results of many Korea-China joint films. In my opinion, the causes of failures of the Korea-China joint films are the lack of understanding and experience of Korean filmmakers in the Chinese film industry. So, By examining the history of Chinese cinema in this paper, I want to establish the character formation of the Chinese film industry. And cause a criminal-thriller genre has to undergo more stringer censorship than any other genre, I will introduce the production process of remake of the Korean film . By introducing the censorship method of the Chinese film industry and the actual cases applied, I want to help understand the present status of Chinse film industry. Also, I intend to give some proposals to Korean filmmakers preparing a Korea-China joint film, and express my brief opinion for the development of the Korea-China joint film industry.
