>Media industry analysts have warned that Hollywood has become so awash with Chinese funding that China now essentially owns and controls most of the Hollywood entertainment industry.
>A Beijing-based purchase of US film studio Legendary Pictures by Dalian Wanda Group represents the largest-ever film industry takeover by a Chinese company, with $3.5 billion spent on allowing China to become the second biggest box officer player in Hollywood.
>China dont care about blacks >China dont care about gays I see nothing wrong with this
Samuel Reed
Because japan have integrity while china dont inb4 >sony
sony pictures is run by jews
Liam Smith
>Based China will save us from pathetic American reboots Whats the problem here?
Andrew Wood
chinese products are associated with poor quality, basically the "made in china" insult
japan has generally had a positive cultural stereotype: quality machinery, attention to detail
in terms of media, japanese at least has a strong anime culture which is generally well regarded but china has produced little of note except a handful of high budget movies and martial artists
Tyler Powell
Cause China is a emergent superpower.
Japan was basically neutered.
Joshua Powell
new movies from China targeted at American audience
The Chinese products I own, I'd put them up against any American made products of the same type. Try me.
Aaron Butler
Oh well, better than the Jews.
Jonathan Hughes
chinese/taiwan/hong kong cinema is so shit. It's the usual martial artist crap akin to capeshit where one guy does unimaginable moves against hundreds of enemies. Compared to japanese cinema they have a long way to go as an artform
Jackie chan movies were at least fun, that's it
Julian Moore
>Japan was basically neutered. by whom?
Tyler Harris
>Matt Damon >Pedro Pascal >Willem Dafoe
And then rest of them are literal unknowns from China.
ayy Lmao.
Caleb Morales
I didn't specfically say it was true, only that is the cultural association. There were some documentaries about it, basically that the "made in china" insult was spread back in the day as a battle to keep jobs in america
however I would also say there are plenty of stories about really shitty chinese products that keep this stereotype alive
Dylan Torres
Post WW2.
Jose Cruz
>he doesn't know that those reboots were made for Chinese
Evan Myers
Because china is communist and is the richest country in the world
Ryan Powell
Guess its about time to find a chinese girlfriend
Oliver Diaz
I honestly dont get the west and japan's obsession about moving manufacturing to china. You save a few bucks but in the end you create a superpower that ends up buying you out.
Good countries make stuff, not just intellectual property
Brayden Rivera
because you're a micro cocked weeaboo
Camden Clark
A business would never admit responsibility for creating a super power, they only care about their bottom line.
Jaxon Brooks
>Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville Well I'll watch that for some ball kicking NO TRABBLE action fun.
Cheers, OP! That reminds me to check Liveleak. I fucking LOVE watching videos of Chinese people getting sucked into broken escalators and being ground up by gears, or falling down elevator shafts, or being decapitated by elevators, or having 150kg (330lb) shopping carts full of shit falling down escalators and SMASHING them against a wall, or falling into a fucking MOVING TRASH COMPACTOR AT STREET LEVEL WHEN THEY SLIP OVER
I FUCKING LOVE CHINA!!!! CHINA A-OKAYYYYYY!!!!
Ayden Martinez
Because Japan always had around half of America's population, meaning they could make meaningful contributions without overwhelming anything, while there are five times more Chinese than Americans.
Gabriel Clark
I've noticed a serious lack of common sense in this day and age. It'll be the death of us eventually.
Elijah Perez
That's what's so sad about it. I wish there was some implicit or explicit consensus among all businesses in a country to stop falling for the china meme
Hitler was right, national socialism is the only way
David Gray
Watch "If You Are The One" and get back to us.
Lucas Cruz
Because the Chinese government restricts internet access, keeping the people from illegally downloading shit.
Just face it, Hollywood as we knew it is gone forever. Replaced by television, podcasts & independently wealthy artists & benefactors.
Bentley Mitchell
Oh, I almost forgot my favourite video from Liveleak! The security footage of a 2-year-old Chinese girl having her legs run over by a TRUCK, and then SCREAMING for 3 hours in absolute agony! You know WHY she screamed for that long? Because.... haha this one's the kicker... because if you TAKE someone to a HOSPITAL in China, YOU have to foot the BILL!!!!
Oh man, that one really tickled my pickle! All those people just walking by as the girl SCREAMED AND SCREAMED AND SCREAMED, while her LEGS were a bloody MUSH!
FUCK YEAH CHINA! REPRESENT, YO!
Andrew Gonzalez
The US has been through this before with Japan. Will they survive china?
Also what happened with the japan meme? In the 80s there were always references to how the japanese owned everything, but is that still true?
Robert Peterson
i never noticed it before but the context of this thread made me realise she looks like a white asian person
something about her face is very chinese
Grayson Howard
>japan has generally had a positive cultural stereotype: quality machinery, attention to detail And I as a person that works with their machinery am here to tell you that they are nothing better tahn the chines and are still afloat because of the 80s economy boom cutting edge shit they did back then. now they are so broke that working for 20h a day wont overturn the hell pit they are in,for the next 200 years.
Anthony Clark
Japan went into depression in the 90's because they fell for the "infinite growth" meme then couldn't keep it up when birth rates dropped below 2.0 per woman.
Christopher Miller
>Thinking China controls Hollywood, not Jews
goyim, I...
Leo Scott
the japanese economy has been in a very steady decline from the late 80s and is still top 3 in the world, which really goes to show just how insanely strong the japan meme was
i suspect the china meme will be a lot, lot worse and as mentioned above by another poster, the fact that western corporations are only looking out for shareholders means there isn't going to be any recourse against it
Connor Stewart
So you could say she was CAUCasian?
Noah Foster
Something similar happened in this user's post about why he regrets learning Mandarin.
Liam Carter
>infinite growth key factor for their downfall was change of their economy model because of international pressure and threats for embargo,and allowing the central bank to dictate where the money goes instead of the domestic national bank. RIP infinite growth,the fucked themselves its nobodys falut
Cooper Wood
Completely wrong. As a former machinist & aspiring engineer, it's known worldwide the Japanese tolerances are among the smallest in the manufacturing. While Chinese standards & practices are much much looser.
Gavin Williams
I want to learn Mandarin now, so I can get friendly with random Chinese people and murder them.
Juan Anderson
You'd be doing god's work.
Parker Miller
cant wait for warcraft 2 :^)
Angel Bell
>japanese at least has a strong anime culture which is generally well regarded lmao, piss off weeb
>but china has produced little of note except a handful of high budget movies and martial artists shows you know nothing about chinese cinema.
Joseph Gonzalez
>sony pictures is run by jews
The only time you'll ever hear Sup Forumslution say a subsidiary runs itself is when the subsidiary is owned by a Jew and the parent company isn't.
Ryder Perry
if you say so champ
Samuel Perez
That's terrifying.
And to think, I've suggested that Int. Business majors learn mandarin.
Kevin Ortiz
"MADE IN CHINA" and designed/developed/engineered are 2 different things. I import all of my products from China and honestly, it's definitely a trade off from the Australian produced stuff.
At the absolute top tier manufacturing firms, I'm sure things are a little better (and will get better), but even then, it can't really be prepared to Japanese/European and in some cases, American made.
Gabriel Murphy
By America.
Nuked, foreign bases on its soil now, the emperor forced to revoke his divinity and it's constitution forced to be pacifist.
This is the balls being cut from your nation.
Caleb Diaz
sounds like heaven
Kayden Hernandez
>he doesn't know China has terrible taste
Fuck you nigga. Hong Kong cinema is nothing like China's
Nicholas Lopez
So you can't have films talking about Tibet and Taiwan in exchange for not having forced-fed diversity? Sounds like a good deal.
Isaac Baker
No undead, religion, or time travel as well.
Angel Wood
China makes decent stuff, but the problem is that they need all the design work to be done by someone outside the country. They have absolutely zero creativity.
Samuel Bailey
ROC not PRC.
Owen Martin
Chinese aren't real people. Sure they look like people, but they lack that thing that makes a person person. They're closer to robots than actual, real people like you or I.
Lincoln Perry
And Hong Kong, Britain, ghosts, time travel, religion, puns, reincarnation and seductive eating of bananas.
Matthew Gomez
>china owns hollywood >still no increase in kung-fu movies >hasn't been a major kung-fu movie since crouching tiger hidden dragon
Adam Thompson
Hong Kong is a country on its own and has nothing to do with main land China.
Owen Rivera
>china has never made a martial arts movie
Nolan Rogers
oh so that's why the godzilla movie and godzilla vs king kong movie are on permanent hiatus
Connor Gutierrez
So we are going to do this or what
James Robinson
Luke Alzheimers
Brayden Reyes
Honk Kong is a part of China. Get over it.
Liam Anderson
Like Vatican in Italy.
Nathan King
>china uncivilized, except the british ran territory of hong kong, and multiplying out of control >japan by all accounts, ahead of us
Austin Phillips
Never feel bad treating chink like shit. They see you the same way
Tyler Flores
The people of hong kong beg to differ. Having been there myself, politically it might be one country, but they are two totally different peoples.
>by all accounts, ahead of us Hasn't Japan has been technologically irrelevant for quite a while and behind when compared to us. Not sure how they fare compared to other asian countries these days though. South Korea seems ahead.
Josiah Campbell
*Hasn't Japan been
Jaxson Allen
Chinese have shit taste. This means more shit movies like Monster Hunt
Jack Bennett
of course, it's pretty rich compared to mainland. no wonder it's different and consider themselves "elite". Anyway, by 2047 hong kong will be fully absorbed in China.
Bentley Sullivan
Because china have taken up the mantle of colonialists, and the west is too cucked to stick up for itself and it's own interests.
Brody Miller
Japan might be behind us in terms of technology given they still use fucking fax machines and don't know what direct debit is, but they're miles in advance of us when it comes to social development. Almost zero immigration and no "ban X because it hurts my fee-fees".
Bentley Gonzalez
It is a matter of cost than it is creativity. Industries that moved to China were the ones that you could train a monkey to do. Complex machining requires a national infrastructure that creates and supports highly skilled labor who won't work for peanuts. China becoming a place of complex labor would dramatically increase the cost of labor and the cost of living, thus causing China to lose its economic advantage of a cheap labor force to the next lowest bidder (India)
Christian Phillips
The rich Chinese are getting their money out of China as fast as they can. It is going to fail. But western companies are too greedy to say no.
Anthony Hall
But they blur their porn
Robert Reed
Because America forced them to after the nukes.
It's easy to take away freedoms, and nearly impossible to re-instate them.
Brandon Green
give it 10-15 years for the chinese takeover.
Jonathan Diaz
At least the chinks are not pants on the head liberals like the western media. I wonder how long it will take Hollywood to corrupt them into autodestructive hedonists like the west.
Jace Taylor
No. It's a dumb meme. Educate yourself.
Lucas Watson
They are just into total censorship. It's so much better, right?
Aaron Bell
Nothing will change. They care about money, not about spreading their culture.
Jason Sanders
wat
Jaxson Thomas
Nothin wrong with this.
Grayson Gonzalez
Western media practice auto censorship anyway. You are a full if you think if you think the "liberal" west is better. If anything they have abandoned communism and extreme leftism while we're dumb enough to embrace even more the most destructive ideology in history.
Lincoln Mitchell
When it comes to censorship it's better in every way.
Elijah Turner
I dunno. After watching the RNC, I am wondering about Americans being robots. (Not that Shillary and her supporters aren't drones too.)
Though a friend of mine who worked in China said that she was amazed at how awful and conformist their taste in movies were, somehow worse than the lowest low brow Americans.
Zachary Rivera
So that's why that Chinese exchange student never said hi back.
Anthony Hernandez
>Fan Bingbing
Samuel Wilson
>not japanese movie industry, which is definitely not for plebs
Noah Lopez
Chinese and Japanese movie industries are irrelevant in the Western world.
And when it comes to arthouse China seems to be ahead of Japan.
Grayson Price
To be fair, I'm not sure the Taiwanese are the most objective people around when it comes to the Chinese.
Brandon Jackson
I'm more concerned that Renny Harlin directs the film. The guy has lost his touch since the 90s.
Julian Martinez
>LOOK AT ME I AM SO ABOVE IT ALL, YOU THINK I WOULD SUPPORT A CANDIDATE? HAH, I DON'T TAKE A SIDE SO NOW NOBODY CAN DISAGREE WITH ME! I AM TOO SMART FOR POLITICS!
I hate you faggots even more than I hate hillary supporters. At least they have the balls to take a stance, unlike your pseudo-intellectual retarded self.
Austin Phillips
>when it comes to arthouse China this. Here, Then is top notch. >rape scene was too long and it got weird because I was watching it with my sister being in the room.
Isaiah Taylor
The Western Media practiced the most censorship when it was ruled by the Christian-led government in the mid-20th century.
But I guess it's OK when white people do it, right?
Hunter Bailey
>Hong Kong is a country on its own No. Its a special autonomous economic zone.
Carter Davis
The only logical stance in a clown fight is laughing at both sides. Not placing bets on which clown you want to win, and certainly not using the clown fight to determine which clown you want to lead a clown army in a clown war.
