What Does a Shanghai Bilingual Director Do?
A bilingual director is more than just a translator—they are the creative and logistical backbone of your project. They oversee every aspect of production, from pre-production planning to post-production editing, ensuring that your vision is brought to life with precision. Key responsibilities include script adaptation and localization to resonate with both local and global audiences, coordination with bilingual crews, fixers, and local talent to ensure smooth workflows, cultural consultancy to avoid misunderstandings and align with local norms, and on-set direction ensuring that creative and technical standards are met. These professionals possess deep understanding of both Western and Chinese production methodologies, allowing them to create hybrid approaches that maximize efficiency while maintaining artistic integrity.

They can guide your content strategy to align with popular platforms like Douyin, WeChat, and Bilibili while ensuring your messaging resonates with local audiences. This expertise extends to understanding regional variations within China, as consumer preferences and cultural norms can differ significantly between cities and provinces.
