Since the publication of the first volume of "Directory of World
Cinema: China," the Chinese film industry has intensified its
efforts to make inroads into the American market. The 2012
acquisition of US theater chain AMC and visual effects house
Digital Domain by Chinese firms testifies to the global ambitions
of China's powerhouse film industry. Yet Chinese cinema has had few
crossover hits in recent years to match the success of such earlier
films as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon;" "House of Flying
Daggers;" and "Kung Fu Hustle." Yet even overseas revenue for
Chinese movies has dwindled, domestic market growth has surged year
after year. Indeed, annual production output remains healthy, and
the daily expansion of screens in second-or third-tier cities
attracts audiences whose tastes favor domestic films over foreign
imports.
A survey of a vibrant--and expanding--industry, "Directory of
World Cinema: China 2" examines, among other themes, China's desire
for success and fulfillment in the United States, as well as the
extensive history of representing China--and the Chinese in
America--on US movie screens. With contributions from some of the
leading academics in the field, this volume will be essential
reading for all fans of Chinese film.
