Founded in the early 1920s, Mingxing became one of three major studio, along with Dazhonghua Baihe, and Tianyi. By the early 1930s, Mingxing emerged along with Lianhua (which had co-opted Dazhonghua Baihe)as one of the two major studio giants. Throughout the early and mid-1930s, Mingxing became a major production house for leftist films.
Films made under Mingxing's banner include the famous leftist film Street Angel by Yuan Muzhi in 1937. Like Lianhua, Mingxing's production capabilities suffered significantly after the Japanese invasion and occuption of Shanghai.
