Fully agree. Movie companies need capital and investment for new movies, and these movies need market. Who has money can make the investment. China has our own values, we want movies that fit our values. ❤
China is the only country that can be independent from other countries in many key fields including scientific, technological and entertainment fields. This is important!
In the past, some large-scale American movies would deliberately cast Chinese actors in order to please Chinese audiences. But usually there are only 1-2 minutes of footage. Now the Chinese are no longer interested in this.
Many Chinese LIKED Hollywood movies a lot but not so much anymore. From my point of view, there are two main reasons. The first one is Hollywood used to be able to produce different types of good movies but in recent years it just makes boring superhero movies repeatly. The other one is that Hollywood is too political correction right now. Well, I do not dare to explain further...
China is certainly a huge market for the film industry. During the pandemic, I got hooked on watching Chinese movies and Chinese TV dramas. There are so many new ones released every week that my friends and I spent many, many hours binge watching; (and while doing our yoga & pilates and eating our meals). Rafa: thanks for this eye opening video. I had no idea that the Wuxi Studios are so huge. I recognized some of the stage/filming areas that you’ve shown in various dramas that we’ve seen. This is very interesting. Please do more videos about the film industry in China. Thank you.

China has the money, we don't. What is the problem? No propaganda whatsoever. Our major studios were sadly mismanaged for so long. Unless someone comes up to the plate, it will continue.
You can search to find out how many times the cost of American movies is the same type of Chinese movies. American movie promotions can be seen all over China on the Internet and in theaters. Is this called no promotion?
@@user-xr4mw9qw3g its not about that, chinese industry player also be part of those promotion, afterall, the theatre there want a profit as well. the problem is, well just look at how disney treat star war
Noticeable changes in China's movie market: top box office films in recent years are Chinese movies made for the Chinese audiences. Much less Hollywood blockbusters on Chinese screens, especially around big holidays. Production value of Chinese movies and TV shows easily match and even surpass similar shows from Hollywood. Chinese cultural themes are more prominent, more futuristic, shaking off South Korean and Japanese influences. China still has much to learn from the US about projecting "soft-power" through entertainment. Many of these changes parallel "the East is rising, the West in decline." Chinese self-confidence is on the rise, reflected in Chinese movies and TV shows.
getting tired of American movies, just look at Disney movies, same animation style, same old stories, just different characters, boring and superficial as hell.
all moveis of the US are garbage. well for the past 10 years at least. its either remakes or crappy sequels that nobody asked for. and if they dont have any idea anymore they steal movies from Japan and Korea and make their own version of it. hollywood is dead Japan korea and China make amazing movies check those out

In the 1980s, in order to block the Soviet Union, the United States enlisted mainland China to block the Soviet Union. Taiwan was isolated and helpless in the world. By 2020, the rise of mainland China in economic, technological and military strength has caused panic in the United States and other Western worlds. It has begun to encourage Taiwan's independence government to fight against mainland China, hoping to sacrifice the lives of Taiwanese people and maintain the status quo of the United States first. As Taiwanese, the Chinese hope for freedom and peace, and they do not welcome the selfishness of the United States that sacrifices the lives of Taiwanese people in exchange for American selfishness.
7:05 You can find these 1930s cars in two popular Chinese Republican Era drama series The Rebel (2021) (starring Zhu Yilong) and The Disguiser (2015) (starring Hu Ge). Both very entertaining suspense spy thrillers. Highly recommended and free to watch on TH-cam !
Hollywood、true、Chinese Revolution。。。。。Think about this sentence seriously again, my friend “the manchurian candidate”You can take a look and come back to tell me your thoughts.
Actually I don't get the feeling Hollywood is allowing collaboration or investment form China as they use to. I use to remember seeing the opening credit of a movie and Chinese companies popped up to my surprise...I remember seeing Alibaba, Tencent, so on. Now, I just don't see them anymore. US isn't allowing anymore business collaboration
As a Chinese, I would like to say that many years ago, I loved Hollywood movies very much. Whether it was the plot, special effects, or music, they were all at the top level in the world. However, with the addition of political correctness, Hollywood now has no market in China, and even if it is introduced to China, the attendance rate is still very low.
Just binge-watched a Chinese modern xianxia series, I Am Nobody. It's really, really good. That is, if you like a dorky main character with superpowers. And I like how the Chinese dramas explain the origin of the superpowers of their characters.
In the past, Hollywood films often depicted Chinese characters in a negative light, limiting them to 4 roles: as cooks, servants, evil men, or prostitutes. Rarely were they given central roles, and when they were, it was typically as villains or nefarious characters. The notorious 1950s film "Fu Manchu" was about an evil Chinese gangster boss. That film had a lasting impact on me during my upbringing, leading me to believe that Chinese people were deceitful and secretive criminals. The recent 1964 film, "Dr.No", a James Bond film, showed a Chinese madman ready to blow up the world. In the early 1970s, Bruce Lee, the world-famous Kung Fu master, was deeply disappointed when he was not cast as the lead actor in the TV show "Kung Fu," despite being born in San Francisco. The role went to David Carradine and the show became a major success. The show director gave the reason that, despite his popularity, he thought Bruce wasn't good at acting. Bruce's rejection for that role deeply affected him and his health, according to his wife. Historically Hollywood films placed White actors in Asian roles (such as those films mentioned above) but nowadays, things have changed somewhat. The Chinese are given some roles as mad scientists such as in "Jurassic World". Also, a Chinese American film producer, Janet Yang,( born in Queens, NY), recently became President of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences. Still, Hollywood does not believe in giving a hero role nor a romantic role to any man from China or of Chinese heritage. To be sure, in modern days, these biased race casting decisions are driven not only by Jewish Hollywood directors but by Chinese financiers themselves. To them, they’ll do anything for money as stereotyping drives ticket sales, not political correctness. That is why I was surprised to see a clip of a Chinese "Rambo" film produced in China w/ a Chinese hero, something unseen, unheard of in the US.
Universal/Comcast, Lionsgate and Disney eventually landed in China’s amusement park scene: Universal Studios Resort in Beijing, Disneylands in Shanghai and Hong Kong and Lionsgate World in Zhuhai
Hollywood's spirit in China's body . I can't count the number of Chinese films that I have seen (mainly on YT) and curiously in many cases, the Chinese film reminded me of one or more scenes from an American film but over time I realized that even low-budget American films were partially "inspired" by other American films partially, those with larger budgets and directly produced in Hollywood. When we unconsciously copy others, we call it “inspiration”. except for costume films or wuxia or kung fu.
It'll be good if China's involvement in the film industry can counteract the bias and racism held by a certain "group" that runs Hollywood, which affects how scripts are written and casting choices.
I was look at Mao Yan cat eyes like box office mojo a lot of Hollywood films in china not doing well. Mission impossible 7 $ 47 million dollar , but MI 6 was $ 171 million dollars.
There is no absolute free market. China will make its rules very clear, and those who comply can enter. This is completely different from the Western market, which has always emphasized that it is a free market, but has used various means to obstruct restrictions. The final result was that the entire Western industry was destroyed by this excessive protectionism.
They have the tech to do passable movies, but damn.... they are AWFUL. i know, they are exceptions but most of the time are just american derivatives, wuxia retellings or unfunny comedies. like go deeper, french cinema, spanish cinema. ALIEN.
all top 10 movies in china last year were all domestic produced movies. no american movie on the list. and yes that include Dune 1 and the marvel movies.
It is very niche, the novel is too early, later movies and science fiction develop too fast, and when it comes to narratives about race and empire, it is too naive.
No matter what gorgeous motion effects are used, the core of American movies is still old, outdated, and hypocritical. Full of colonial and imperialist arrogance.

And don’t blame the Chinese, cause even the average American are tired of same old shyt in those films which is just full of remakes nothing new.

More and more Americans are not so confident and comfort with the changes nowadays
The truth.
That’s America’s own problem. No Chinese audience like to watch wrong people get put into stories they should not be in.
False. The true fact is Chinese even including those who are living in the west DON'T like MOST Hollywood movies and TV shows!
they thought chinese like to watch content controlled, propaganda, ideology filled movie all the time.
