Trump Trade War Starts to Threaten Hollywood’s Business in China

[Feng Leng]

It may have affected Hollywood's business, but not its viewership. Chinese people who want to watch watch pirated movies and shows.

Second, trump would actually like if hollywood suffers because hollywood has been a big opposer of Trump.

Before 2010, you can find pirated versions of any Hollywood movie on the major video websites -- just do a search. Then one day, they all disappeared and were replaced by licensed versions where you have to pay for streaming. The government made a deal with the Hollywood studios to let them monetize the market. It looks like we are going back to the pre-2010 days of piracy

Like Huawei dominance of 5G.
Look how Trump feel. about the dominance of Huawei 5G.
Hahahahaha, in Hollywood, only Americains are good guys , Russian, Chinese, and Arabs are nothing but criminals or evil criminal helper.

Hollywood is become soulless and gay these days. but some tv shows from Netflix and Hbo are still topnotch. Guess I'll be watching pirated version once they are banned.


problem is, subtitled versions are hard to find, I can watch them without subs just fine, but most of others cannot


it seems that your taste in movies haven't gotten any better since your childhood

Jurassic Park is widely considered to be one of the greatest films of all time. Who are you trying to fool?

The Chinese film industry can only dream of developing a masterpiece like Jurassic Park whose influence has resonated around the globe.

And Spielberg overrated?

Spielberg is an entertainer at best, he can never hold a candle to real masters like David Lean. he even admit that himself..

Wouldn't matter. The question is about cultural influence.

Your young still watch and grow on American Shows and Movies with American values and culture imbibed in it.

China doesn't even have 1% of that soft and cultural value.

In fact, by giving Hollywood Chinese market, you were able to influence Hollywood's stories.

I remember there was a story in which the original Chinese villain was replaced with North Korean ones.

If Hollywood is denied market access however, the incredible soft and cultural power of Hollywood which is seen everywhere in the world can be diverted against China by US authorities.

The whole world will then be watching Hollywood movies with Chinese villains, and growing up to hate China.

Your American dreams last for barely 270 years which built on Black americains and north American indians bloods while Chinese dreams lasted and will continue to last for more than 5000 years.
When we make superpowerful marine battle ships and canons, the ancestors of your ancestors are still suffering the Black death.
Never say ever!
For the time being, you are more powerful, yes,20 years late, it would be your dream to ever catch up with China again and 45 years later, even India will surpass you.

Honestly could care less how old China is. Especially, when the US has accomplished more in the last 200 years than China has in the last 2,000.

We can't stop them from being brainwashed by Zionists but we can nuke them.

This is the reason why you will lose eventually!

Always think you guys are better than others and do not give a shit on other cultures and is making enemy globally.

Chineses beleive that among three men, one could be my professor in some areas.
Your GOD chosen mind set has stopped you to be better than yourself, without military power, no one give you a shit at all. And we shall see who will win in the next 25 years.

America's greatest accomplishment is getting its arse kicked in the Korean War. Unfortunately, they never made a movie about that one

Animated movies are better than Hollywood movies.
I don't know who's watching Hollywood movies and American TV shows.

The Comicup-24 held at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center recently, stalls related to European and American cultural works accounted for less than 5 per cent of the total.
Maybe it's because Comicup is more targeted at female customers, it still reflects some facts about American cultural products in China. Even if American cultural products are banned in China, it has little impact on us.

By the way, only from my perspective, the most popular cultural product in China recently is Arknight.(明日方舟)

I can’t imagine a world without films like Lawrence of Arabia, The Wizard of Oz, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Star Wars, The Godfather, Forrest Gump, and many more. All time classics.

I watched Jurassic Park so many times as a child I wore out the VHS tape.

How dare you leave out the classics, Ben Hur, the Ten Commandments, The African Queen, It’s a Wonderful Life etc.
Hollywood has been and still is unmatched. Yes quality has fallen and we need better writers but there’s plenty still out there that keeps the world’s population enthralled.

Ben Hur is a total timeless classic!
