So long as they do not make foreign religious propaganda, I am not particularly concerned about Korea's competition and claim of ownership over Confucius culture and traditions. After all, they will not brainwash as about who is the cultural center of East Asia, LOL.

religious BS is coming soon. You go to any Korean forum and talk about history, all the stupid Koreans use "historical" drama as the truth. I'm not talking about uneducated Koreans citing such BS.

They don't need to brainwash Chinese, but it's not good for Chinese if they brainwash the Vietnamese, Pinoys, westerners.

Yes, and definitely Chinese government does not want any outside (including Korean) cultural influence to penetrate through entertainment. This might be partly because Korean entertainment is also heavily Westernized and got uglier.

That's the whole premise of the superficial copy culture of Korea. Take Kpop for example: I live in the west and we know it's not indigenous Korean culture. Kpop is really English music sung in Korean. Not really Korean. Uninformed Chinese housewives and Korean believe it is real Korean culture

On top of that they like to copy western TV. Soon there will be a Korean version of Criminal Minds, a highly successful American tv series.

Also, it's bad that western people use plastic surgery Korean women and makeup wearing Korean pretty boys as the standard for Asian beauty. **** that! Give me a natural average Chinese girl over these fake Korean women any day

.
Besides the Korean stuff, China should also look at restricting some of the garbage from Hong Kong.

Whether we like it or not, today China is large enough to call the shots. It has the money and population. It can easily sustain their own indigenous produced shows that are imbued with "Chinese cultural characteristics".

I am all for this. Sometimes, I wonder why China has not done this sooner.

Give me a natural average Chinese girl over these fake Korean women any day

You got to be careful when marrying a girl who has cosmetic surgery. Your kids could turn out sh*t ugly.
Cosmetic surgery only changed the outside appearance but the genes still stay unchanged. The ugly genes are still there.

This year's China-Britain Film Festival is underway in London, showcasing a diverse catalogue of Chinese films.

It's also designed to try to increase cooperation between the Chinese and UK film industries.

First held in 2013, the annual China International Film Festival London has now upgraded its title to become the China-Britain Film Festival.

The festival is meant to show off some of the best films produced in China, as well as promote Chinese culture and provide a platform for exchanging ideas in the film industry.

Organizers hope the festival's expansion will allow more people to better-appreciate Chinese film making.

Kong Xiangxi is the President of the China-Britain Film Festival.

"During the festival, we hope Chinese films can be better presented. We also hope directors, like Feng Xiaogang, who represent Chinese filmmakers, can come to Britain and show the country what China is like today, including letting them know what modern Chinese filmmakers are like and how profound Chinese culture is. Besides, we are also promoting our culture to the outside world, improving our relationships and contributing to the 'One Belt, One Road' strategy."

The Screening Week for this year's festival is now underway.

Eleven popular Chinese films will be screened in various theatres around London, including "Mr. Six," "Monkey King: Hero is Back" and "Chongqing Hot Pot."

The UK's Film Screening Week will take place in China in November.

Chinese actress Yan Bingyan is a jury member at this year's film festival.

"Actually, this event represents communication. Thorough this film festival, English audiences will get to know what kind of films are popular in China and Chinese people will get an idea of what the film industry is like in England."

This year's festival features an exciting range of award-winning films among the over 40 works being screened, including acclaimed crime drama "Mr. Six," which stars actor/director Feng Xiaogang in the leading role.

Feng is this year's Image Ambassador of the Festival, following in the footsteps of Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi and Li Bingbing.

"This festival serves as a bridge. The opportunity enables British audiences to watch Chinese movies. It is good that the organizers put various types of modern Chinese movies on the list."

The awards for this year's film festival have already been handed out.

It was Duan Yihong winning the 'Best Actor Award' for his role in "The Dead End," which also earned the 'Best Film Award.'

Gong Li has taken home the 'Best Actress Award' for her performance in "Monkey King: Hero is Back."

The Chinese TV series My Love Hit the War recently made waves in the country.

Set in the late 1930s, the 46-episode series revolves around a romance during the Battle of Songhu in Shanghai, which is among China's bloodiest battles during the Japanese invasion.

Following a fictional Chinese secret agent's revenge for his sister's murder, the series narrates the protagonist's love for a doctor during wartime.

Since it aired on Beijing Satellite TV on July 23, the series has been viewed more than 5 million times on iQiyi, one of China's largest streaming sites.

Zhang Yongchen, the scriptwriter, told a promotional event on July 22 in Beijing, that wartime love stories were "more romantic and dramatic" compared with other times.

To capture historic scenes on screen, he read local chronicles of Shanghai and eastern Suzhou, among other material.

Pan Yue, the director, said at the same event that the main shooting was done in Tongli, a picturesque town in Suzhou.

In addition to lead actor Gong Zheng, the series stars actress Xu Fanxi.

War epic to mark founding of Chinese army
By Zhang Rui

The film, entitled and literally translated as "The Founding of An Army,” will be the third installment of the "Founding of New China" trilogy.

Previously, Han Sanping, the director and former head of the China Film Group Corporation, directed "The Founding of A Republic" in 2009 and co-directed "The Founding of the Party" (also known as "Beginning of The Great Revival") in 2011 with Huang Jianxin to tell stories from the revolutionary era.

Now, Han will serve as general initiator and art director on the new installment, which tells the story of how the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) was created. Huang will serve as executive producer. The director chair was handed to Andrew Lau, who directed the groundbreaking "Infernal Affairs," which was later adapted into Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-winning "The Departed."

La Peikang, chairman of the China Film Group Corporation, said at the press conference in Beijing that they have been preparing for five years for "The Founding of An Army" and intend to reenact the historic events as accurately as possible.

The story opens with the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, which was the first major Kuomintang-Communist engagement during the Chinese Civil War. The uprising was carried out by the Communists to counter the anti-communist purges by the Kuomintang.

At the press conference, which was specially held on the 89th anniversary of the founding of the army, a part of cast was also revealed. Liu Ye, a veteran actor, will play Mao Zedong, while Zhu Yawen will play Zhou Enlai. Other actors in the all-star cast include Oho Ou, Ma Tianyu, Liu Haoran and Ma Yili. More actors will be announced soon.

"The leaders were all young men at that time, and they gave their youth and loyalty to the country to build a strong army," director Lau said.

The film, produced by China Film Co., Ltd., Bona Film Group Limited., Nanchang TV and August First Film Studio, is scheduled to be released next August 1 to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the army.

Chinese actors vastly overpaid to the tune of 100 mln yuan: report
2016-08-29 09:06 | Global Times | Editor: Li Yan

Some of China's most high-profile actors and actresses are vastly overpaid, receiving up to 100 million yuan ($14.99 million) for a single movie or TV series, a China Central Television (CCTV) report found, a trend that the country's media watchdog vowed to curb on Friday.

According to a news program broadcast by CCTV on Friday, the minimum payment for some high-profile actors and actresses in China has reached 25 million yuan, and the highest already exceeded 100 million yuan, even though some films and TV series in which such performers participated have gained little popularity.

The report cited the example of the leading actor and actress in Ruyizhuan - a TV series telling a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) love story - who received 150 million yuan combined.

Also on Friday, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television pledged to direct actors' guilds and film and television production companies to formulate self-discipline on the appropriate remuneration of actors and actresses, according to xinhuanet.com.

The administration also discouraged television stations and video streaming websites from considering the involvement of popular actors as a determining factor in the purchase of television series.

"Remuneration for famous actors is usually the biggest expenditure for producers, as all investors care about is whether there are high-profile actors involved," a film production insider who asked for anonymity told the Global Times on Sunday.

"Remuneration always accounts for half and even 70 percent of film production costs," Hong Kong filmmaker Ng See-yuen told CCTV on Friday's program.

In contrast, remuneration for Hollywood actors only accounts for 10 percent to 30 percent of production costs, Olga Rodriguez-Aguirre, the national director of theatrical contracts at the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, was quoted by CCTV as saying.

Although it is reasonable for excellent actors to receive high payment, their ridiculously high remuneration violates the law of markets, Lu Di, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at Peking University, told the Global Times on Sunday.

"A good film or TV series is the result of teamwork. If the majority of production funding has already gone to performers, other team members cannot be paid properly, which makes them unable to produce good-quality films and TV series," said Lu.

"To tackle this problem, the government should impose more taxes on actors' payment and set up a remuneration ceiling," Lu advised.

Wanda Cinema first-half profits up 28 percent

Ticket sales grow at double the national average, but third of income came from outside box office

By Li Huiling and Han Wei

(Beijing) – China's biggest movie theater operator, Wanda Cinema Line Co., reported a first-half revenue growth of 64 percent, but nearly a third of the earnings came from businesses not linked to ticket sales.

Net income grew 28 percent to over 800 million yuan (US$ 119.82 million) compared with the previous year, the company said on Aug. 29. Its box-office sales in the first six months rose 41 percent year-on-year to nearly 4 billion yuan, outpacing the 21 percent average growth nationwide.

But non-ticket sales reached 1.8 billion yuan, or nearly one-third of Wanda Cinema's total first-half revenue of 5.7 billion yuan, a signal that the company was diversifying its revenue streams. Recently, Wanda Cinema acquired Hollywood–based entertainment marketing agency Propaganda GEM, Chinese gaming distribution company Hoolai Games and movie information website Mtime.

Wanda Cinema is the biggest entertainment asset under Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin's Dalian Wanda Group. The group also recently bought Legendary Entertainment, the U.S.-based producer of "Warcraft" and "Godzilla"; and Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group, one of Europe's largest cinema chains.

By the end of June, Wanda Cinema was operating 320 movie theaters in China with nearly 2,800 screens. Wanda Cinema, listed in Shenzhen, closed 0.34 percent higher at 73.2 yuan on Aug. 29.

Hollywood to produce drama on Empress Wu
(China Daily) 10:28, August 31, 2016

File Photo​

Producers of HBO's fantasy drama Game of Thrones will work on a new historical series based on the life of Wu Zetian, the only empress in the history of China, according to a report by Hollywood Reporters.

Christopher Newman, the brain behind Game, has signed a deal with Starlight Media and K. Jam Media to develop and create 13-episode drama Empress. Starlight Media will fully finance the series, estimated at $70 million, and is reported to shop the project from K. Jam Media to broadcast networks after completion.

Production is set to begin in Sichuan province in late 2017, with a premiere scheduled for 2018.

Wu Zetian, China's only empress in history, was ruler of the country during the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-906). Wu was known for her wit and intelligence along with her ruthlessness and desire to achieve ultimate power regardless of means. The series will follow her rise to the top through the court of Emperor Taizong as his favorite concubine.

Newman will executively produce the series alongside Starlight Media chairman Xu Yan, CEO Peter Luo and Beely Lee, as well as K. Jam CEO Kia Jam.

"I am very happy to announce this partnership and am looking forward to working with this excellent creative team to bring the story of the Empress Wu to a global audience," Xu said in a statement.

"My partner Chris and I have already started to assemble a world-class team and are thrilled to be in business with our friends at Starlight Media. The story of the empress is a story of intrigue, history and power that provides a deep storytelling well that we hope will have numerous seasons to follow," Jam added.

Starlight Media is a US-based company founded by Xu in 2013. K. Jam Media is an independent film and TV production company based in Los Angeles. Newman, aside from his work in Game of Thrones, has worked on Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace, Notting Hilland Love Actually.

Empress is uncast at the moment.

'Koseidon,' 'Skull Island' in Tencent's super film projects

conference of Tencent Pictures to announce 21 film and TV projects in Beijing
on Sept. 17, 2016. [Photo/ China.org.cn]​

Founded by one of China's largest internet company Tencent just one year ago, Tencent Pictures has plans for films based on books, comic books, animated series and video games.

Cheng Wu, vice president of Tencent and CEO of Tencent Pictures, said at its annual press conference that four key words had been selected to sum up the direction in which the studio plans to move.

"First, it's 'young.’ We hope our films can have young subjects and styles, fit young people's ideas and new thoughts; Second, it's 'unique.' We hope our films can have exclusive creativity and can give people surprise; Third, it's 'high-quality.' We don't make rubbish films no matter how big or small the investment involved; Fourth, it's 'connecting.' We hope to build all other elements around various intellectual property brands, including literature, comics, video games, stage drama and merchandise. Meanwhile, we'd love to work with domatic and foreign partners."

Tencent Pictures had great success by co-developing the American action-fantasy film "Warcraft" directed by Duncan Jones with Legendary Pictures owned by the Wanda Group. The film made US$221 million in China alone this year. "Kong: Skull Island" will be its another collaboration with Legendary Pictures, a story seeking continuity between the worlds of King Kong and Godzilla. It is set for release in March 2017.

"The Grudge" producer Takashige Ichise will work with Tencent to produce a theatrical version of "Koseidon," based on a popular Japanese Tokusatsu TV series "Dinosaur Corps Koseidon" produced by Tsuburaya Productions. The TV series was once introduced in China, in 1988, and leaving deep childhood memories for China's 1970's and 1980's generations.

Tencent has also acquired the licenses to adapt "The Tibet Code" into TV series and video games. "The Tibet Code" is a series of fantasy adventure novels written by He Ma that have sold 10 million copies in China. The novels follow an expert on Tibetan Mastiffs, and his mentor, as a mysterious letter pulls them into a convoluted search for a hoard of Buddhist treasure hidden during the persecution of the 9th century Tibetan emperor Langdarma.

Elements of Tibetan culture, geography, and mythology are prominent, alongside modern aspects of intrigue and globetrotting.

Other eye-popping film and TV projects being developed by Tencent include "The Game of Antiques," a film based on writer Ma Boyong's novel; an animated feature "The Tuski 3D" based a highly popular cartoon emoticon of a lazy bunny created by Momo Wang; "Fighter of The Destiny," a fantasy TV series epic based on an internet novel by Mao Ni; "Asura," a film based on Tencent's popular MMORPG game; "Pathfinder," an original science fiction film by China's famous sci-fi screen writer Zhang Xiaobei; "100,000 Ways to LMAO 2," a sequel to the top grossing animated comedy based on internet cartoon series; as well as famous Chinese director Lu Chuan's new film with a working title of "20,000 Miles Plan," which will be made as a pan-entertainment project, including literature, cartoon, games and more.

Tencent Pictures CEO Cheng Wu added:"Regarding filmmaking, the biggest investment will forever be 'patience,' as you have to be patient to develop a good project. The film industry is at the new starting point, and the high-quality works ensure your future."

"The Dark Knight" trilogy screen writer David S. Goyer also attended Tencent's conference and announced he would work with the Chinese studio to explore original content in China and the domestic market. He also added that, even though there's barrier and gap in cultures and languages, worldwide audiences should have the same humanity and value to understand a good story.

Besides film and TV projects, the newly-rising Tencent Pictures will initiate projects to fund and nurture new talents, team up filmmakers to establish studio to create more original contents, as well as step into artist and repertoire business.

Good idea. China's film industry is already exploding. The next ten years is going to be huge for Chinese entertainment.

This new China TV series looks promising.

Fan BingBing Named World’s Fifth Highest-Paid Actress
By Ryan General
Posted on August 24, 201

China’s Fan Bingbing was once again featured in Forbes’ ranking of the world’s best-paid actresses. This year, she placed at still an impressive number five on the list that included Hollywood female A-listers as regulars.

Forbes’ “The World’s Highest-Paid Actresses 2016” list, which is based on earnings from June 2015 to June 2016, awarded the top spot once again to Jennifer Lawrence for the second year in a row.

Fan’s ranking however took a slight drop from reaching the fourth spot last year. Her 2016 achievement is from her $17 million paycheck that came from roles in Chinese films such as”Skiptrace” and “Lady of the Dynasty.”

“Last year was the first time we actually looked outside of just the U.S., so last year Fan Bingbing was the only foreign actress to make the list. This year she’s joined by Charlize Theron and Deepika Padukone,” Forbes writer Natalie Robehmed told CNBC’s Squawk Box.

Originally from Quingdao, China, Fan got an early break at 17 years old when she landed a supporting role in the hugely popular Chinese television drama series “My Fair Princess.”

Her sudden rise in popularity led to more projects, with her being cast into several leading roles in various Chinese films. Locally, she also topped Forbes’ China celebrity rankings.

Fan officially became an international star after starring in the 2014 superhero blockbuster flick “X-Men: Days of Future Past” as the mutant Blink.

Now at 35 years old, Fan has managed to branch out to a variety of disciplines and ventures. She is currently dabbling into singing, TV production, philanthropy and product endorsements. She has been the celebrity brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Chopard, Loreal and Cartier.

A newcomer on the list is Deepika Padukone from India who entered in tenth spot for earning $10 million for one year.

Here’s this year’s top ten World’s Highest-Paid Actresses 2016:

1) Jennifer Lawrence ($46 million)

2) Melissa McCarthy ($33 million)

3) Scarlett Johansson ($25 million)

4) Jennifer Aniston ($21 million)

5) Fan Bingbing ($17 million)

6) Charlize Theron ($16.5 million)

7) Amy Adams ($13.5 million)

8) Julia Roberts ($12 million)

9) Mila Kunis ($11 million)

10) Deepika Padukone ($10 million)
