The minority film always exists with an almost independent of the form of "genre" and status in China which is a multi-ethnic country. The minority film has left a deep impression to people because of showing the social life of many ethnic minorities. Whether it is a unique natural landscape, beautiful music and dancing, gorgeous costume, or a distinctive minority character, they are all good pictures to be proud of in the Chinese movie history. However, as a kind of cultural industry, today's minority film is no good implement some important function in enriching the diversity of human culture, promoting ethnic equality and unity, spreading the socialist core values and enhancing the sense of national identity of ethnic minorities because there is a big problem in terms of economic value.There are25indigenous minorities in Yunnan. Yunnan is rich in ethnic minority culture resources are universally acknowledged. However, since birth, the peak of the '50s and'60s of the20th century and several ups and downs, Yunnan minority film is still not a mature culture industry. Its central role in the development of Yunnan ethnic cultural industry has not been fully revealed. Yunnan minority film's biggest problem is that it is difficult to reach a balance between the three attributes (the political attribute, art attribute and economic attribute) of the film industry. And the formation of this dilemma is closely related to the state of imbalance of handling of these three attributes in the beginning of the generation of Chinese film (including Chinese minority film) and its early development and the development of Yunnan minority film. Deep thinking of the reasons for difficulties in Yunnan minority film development can be achieved in the review and analysis of the development course of the entire Chinese film including Yunnan minority film.Movie as a kind of new art form was introduced into China when China was in the problems at home and abroad. In the late Qing dynasty during the period of the republic of China, the anti-aggression was the most urgent task for China. Film became the important tool of promoting patriotism in the context of national liberation, and its profit potential was not given enough attention. Even if some people realized that the development of the film could bring economic benefits, but under the social background at that time, the economic purpose was also difficult to be achieved.After that, from as the tool of arousing the patriotic enthusiasm in the context of the anti-Japanese national salvation to assuming the mission of cultivating the national consciousness of the various nationalities in the People's Republic of China, from as an instrument of political propaganda and struggle in the "cultural revolution" period to becoming a sign of right after the end of the "cultural revolution", to becoming a strategic tool of promoting cultural soft power in the present, the ideological function of the film has been playing an important role in different historical periods of China. It also creates a result that although the art attribute, entertainment attribute and economic attribute of the film industry have at times been mentioned, but always fail to rise to the equally important position as the ideology function. It is difficult to achieve a proper balance between the three properties of the film industry itself, thus restricting the industrialization of Chinese film including Yunnan minority film.In the development of Chinese film including Yunnan minority film, also there are some "popular and profitable" cases. These films have a commonality which both agrees with the prevailing political context and the public's social cultural psychology and spiritual demand and has good artistic expression and commercial return. At present, the notion of "film as a cultural industry" has been gradually obtained the social approval under the country's security to vigorously develop the film industry. And Yunnan minority film is also hard to march towards the market. However, the relationship between the ideological attribute, art attribute, entertainment attribute and economic attribute of Yunnan minority film can not reach a new equilibrium, and the effect is still unsatisfactory.The industrialization development of Yunnan minority film covers a series of links, including the film production, distribution, screening and the development, operation and management of derivatives and so on. And the development of the film product itself is the core and realistic basis of the whole film industry development, In the context of the new era, Yunnan minority film needs to highlight the comparative advantage with differentiated products, tell the story and human nature by using "world language" and skills, produce really "popular and profitable" films through the industrialization of works, in order to change the minority culture resources advantage into economic advantage, make the good economic benefit as the solid foundation for the further development of Yunnan minority film. At the same time of meeting the growing spiritual and cultural needs of people especially the ethnic minority people, promoting the cultural construction and communication in ethnic minority areas, Yunnan minority film industry can bring benefits to society especially the broad masses of ethnic minorities, enhance their happiness, promote their cultural consciousness and culture protection consciousness, strengthen the national soft power, thus will lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the country. The good development of Yunnan minority film industry will promote the construction of ethnic minority culture which is a part of the Chinese nation culture. In the meantime, it will promote the diversity and pluralistic development of human culture, also provide a reference for the possibility of a more human way of life and development, and allow different cultural holders to understand and tolerate each other, live in harmony and develop collectively.
