| book description |

The inside story of the U.S.-Chinese superpower conflict playing out behind the scenes of todayâ€™s movie industry, from the leading media scholar China surpassed North America to become the world â€™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 Hollywoodâ€™s biggest blockbusters. And movies are now an essential part of Chinaâ€™s global â€œsoft powerâ€ strategy: a Chinese real estate tycoon, who until recently was the major shareholder of the AMC theater chain, built the worldâ€™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 worldâ€™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 itselfâ€”revealing a headlines-grabbing conflict that is playing out not only on the high seas, but on the silver screen.
