The inside story of the U.S.-Chinese superpower conflict playing
out behind the scenes of today's movie industry, from the leading
media scholar China surpassed North America to become the world 's
largest movie market in 2020. Formerly the focus of exotic
fascination in the golden age of Hollywood, today the Chinese are a
make-or-break audience for Hollywood's biggest blockbusters. And
movies are now an essential part of China's global "soft power"
strategy: a Chinese real estate tycoon, who until recently was the
major shareholder of the AMC theater chain, built the world's
largest film production facility. Behind the curtains, as this
brilliant new book reveals, movies have become one of the biggest
areas of competition between the world's two remaining superpowers.
Will Hollywood be eclipsed by its Chinese counterpart? No author is
better positioned to untangle this riddle than Ying Zhu, a leading
expert on Chinese film and media. In fascinating vignettes,
Hollywood in China unravels the century-long relationship between
Hollywood and China for the first time. Blending cultural history,
business, and international relations, Hollywood in China charts
multiple power dynamics and teases out how competing political and
economic interests as well as cultural values are manifested in the
art and artifice of filmmaking on a global scale, and with global
ramifications. The book is an inside look at the intense business
and political maneuvering that is shaping the movies and the
U.S.-China relationship itself-revealing a headlines-grabbing
conflict that is playing out not only on the high seas, but on the
silver screen.
