华大影业公司是由中国国际传媒集团有限公司所属企业与国内的业界精英们共同合作成立的，集电影制作、明星经纪、影院投资于一体的电影产业集团公司。发布会上，除了介绍明星经纪公司正元文化、院线公司华大影业、以及唐季礼先生主导的电影制作公司的业务范畴外， 还宣布了正元文化(mega star)将开设动作明星培训班项目——“华大之星”。

华大影业有志于打造新一代的中国电影产业专门人才培训体系，为中国影视产业输送从导演、演员到制片、经纪、后期制作等全方位专业人才。而这个培训计划的第一个项目就是“华大之星——第一届动作明星培训班”。据悉，该项目已邀请到前香港电视广播国际有限公司（TVB）艺人培训班校长石成初先生担任项目主导。通过专业的投资基金，每年至少投拍一部电影、一部电视剧和一部舞台剧，通过这些制作给予培训班的学员们最直接的专业实践机会，有针对性地参与到影视制作产业中。
