CCP does not believe in intellectual property rights. What you produce belongs to everyone. Profits are evil.

China never let thier people watch that crap, they just paid like they did because they wanted to control media content. Sort of like how they control the Biden regime.

They forced Hollywood to go woke, which drove away a sizable percentage of movie watchers.

Then you add in the Chinese virus and competition from streaming services.

Now China doesn't need American filmmakers anymore; they can produce their own films for their own people using movie technology (such as 3D computer animation) they stolen or were given to them by Hollywood.

Hollywood is too stupid to understand that they just got destroyed just like China have destroyed our manufacturing, electronic, and textile industries.

If the Chinese movies are non-woke maybe they can release them here.

Hollywood was in trouble even before the pandemic, even before this ‘China Syndrome’.
The studios have allowed the cost of producing a movie to skyrocket, to where most corporations don’t want to take many chances on any new material. That brings you all this recycled material with just a few changes.
Change the sex or race of the protagonist, whether it compromises the storyline or not.

The actor’s labor union used to be very strong and influential with production work, requiring a certain number of stage hands to do what just one person could have done. I don’t know if it is still that way.
“How many union member stage hands does it take to change a light bulb?”

So Hollywood will start pumping out pro-Chinese, anti-American propaganda.

That should be easy for them.

Chinese audiences react negatively to political correctness and aggressive advocacy of gender dysphoria and sexual deviancy. Who would have guessed? /s

Hollywood offers little to interest the rest of the world, these days.

And they've been over backwards to please the ChiComs and have so much of a shared agenda . . .

My wife and I have been enjoying the "Faith Movies" module on Tubi. Yeah, some of them are kind of amateurish but they have great stories and the techniques are getting better. Anybody else?

Once in a blue moon one of my kids will urge me to watch some big movie....And every single time I come away thinking to myself, what trash, what a waste of two hours of my time. I feel like I’ve been ripped off every time.

I bet they do. It would seem antithetical to their life view.

. . . and the technology is here to use avatars instead of real life actors and actresses whom we must pay huge salaries. A lot can be created in someone’s basement these days with just a few thousand dollars in computer and electronic equipment.

Maybe china is like us in that they're tired of the same old stale themes, movie remakes and outright plagiarism.

Or, who wants to see "Rambo, part 15, Geriatric Edition."

Nolte: China Just Backstabbed Hollywood and I Feel Fine


The China chickens are finally coming home to roost for Hollywood’s greedy quislings, bigots, and fascists.

[...]

For a decade, Hollywood has not only counted on China’s box office to bail them, to make it possible to profit from bloated, over-produced $300 million blockbusters, that Chinese box office bonanza also made it possible for Hollywood to insult and alienate half of its U.S. customer base, to chase away Christians and conservatives with stereotyping and outright hate.

On top of all that, for more than a decade, fascist Hollywood has bent all the way over to censor itself to please China’s Nazis. For more than a decade, Hollywood has perverted its own art and vision, all in an effort to appease China’s government censors.

Despite China’s appalling human rights record, despite China’s millions of slaves, despite millions murdered and China’s total lack of intellectual and artistic freedoms, despite China’s brutality and concentration camps, Hollywood not only sought to win China’s affection, but Hollywood also lionized these slavers and their slave state, turned that wicked government into heroes in movies like 2012. As far as censorship and appeasement, here’s a good place to start.

[...]

To appease China’s need for empty spectacle, Hollywood killed the movie star, killed nuance and complicated characters, killed off everything that made Hollywood great: the celebration of individualism, of being your man, of fighting against the establishment and the rights of the individual.

[...]

Hollywood’s SugarNazis just pulled the rug out from under Hollywood, and I feel fine.
