Hollywood Sold Its Soul to China … Now What?
Hollywood in Toto ^ | 02/10/2021 | Christian Toto

For years whenever China told Hollywood to jump, the industry had but one answer … how high?

Studios drooled over China’s vast theatrical marketplace, with millions of eager movie goers ready to pony up for U.S. blockbusters. And they did just that while filmmakers followed the country’s strict rules at every step.

* Adding Chinese characters to existing stories

* Shooting product placement scenes for Chinese theatrical editions

* Avoiding stories that depict China in a negative light Allowing films to be sliced and diced to appease Chinese censors

What did Hollywood get in return? Billions in extra revenue, that’s what.

Sports and corporations are doing this as well.

We are the “offshore” labor for Big China.

Remember the 2012 Red Dawn remake? It was originally the Chinese now invading the US, but mid-production there was so much heat from China they switched it over to North Korea. (LOL, right)

McCarthy was correct when he sounded the alarm. And the response was, “Have you no decency?”

Senator, this day you have been vindicated!

Wrong Answer. We need a New Free Hollywood to make movies that AMERICANS want to see. Build it in Florida—Maybe This is a new direction for Trump as a Movie Producer with out all the sleazed out Pedophiles on the Left Coast. Entertainment for the masses. Stories from American History, Classic Literature, Biblical epics, ETC.

Hollywood has no soul to sell, only a corrupted body.

Don’t watch their movies. There is still, however small, a few movies that are worth watching. There also will be new movie production companies soon to take up the slack.

Have you seen the movies that come out of China?
IF Hollyweird had sold its soul to the PRC, they would probably be making MUCH better movies. If you ignore the occasional propaganda (they love to sell stuff about how important it was to sacrifice to unite China...) they put out some really great stuff. Their actresses are pretty hot, too.
No, Hollyweird sold its collective soul to Hell a long time ago and now Hell has collected.

Lenin predicted that the capitalists would sell the communists the shovels with which the communists would bury them.

They supported nazi germany in the 30’s for the money they made. Plus probably liked killing all the people. They have zero problem with prison camps in China or the at least 60 million people murdered by the communists.

Dear freepers,
Movies are not made for us. Movies are made for 14 year old idiots throughout the world.

Hollywood selling its soul to China may not be such a bad thing. China is not keen of gay sex scenes and other tripe put out by Hollywood film makers.
