>Taiwanese-born filmmaker Ang Lee predicted Friday that the Chinese film market was about to explode, not only overtaking but dwarfing the American box office in a matter of years.
>The two-time Oscar winner said executives in the world's second economy used to rely on him as a bridge to Hollywood, but the newly-confident Chinese film industry no longer finds it necessary.
>"It's huge, it's going to be bigger in a few years," the 62-year-old told reporters on the red carpet at the glitzy BAFTA Britannia Awards in Beverly Hills.
>"In a few years it's probably going to be bigger (than the US) and then in the years to come a lot bigger. They've got many people and, most importantly, film has been lacking in the past in the culture, so it's still fresh."
>PricewaterhouseCoopers projects China's box office will rise from $4.3 billion in 2014 to $8.9 billion in 2019, outstripping the US.
>implyign anyone will watch Chinese movies oher than the Chinese
Zachary Edwards
Good, maybe now we'll have real movies again.
Logan Parker
Fuck , How do we stop the eternal oriental?
Benjamin Bailey
There are two billion of them you retard they dwarf the western cinema going populace
Brayden Hill
>It's over Hollywood is finished.

Brody Jenkins
this guys totally unbiased
Eli Foster
Someone post some webms from that 'Chinese blockbuster' about surfing wizards
Jace Sanchez
You STILL can't read, user?
WHO BUT THE CHINESE WILL WATCH IT
>b-buh-but the chinese are many! Yea, BUT WHO WILL WATCH THE MOVIES
I don't care about market, or profit, or whatever. American films won't change any shape or form. They will still make films. Bollywood is an example of how little they change things.
Adrian Cox
name 1 (one) chinese movie
Dylan Hernandez
Some kungfu movie.
Lincoln Wilson
one of my favorites
Christopher Myers
India has been the largest producer of films for a long time, yet only indians or indian emigrants abroad watch that stuff.
John Gomez
shit production values and bad acting
the japs were smart to stick to animation, they can sell that shit to everyone
Cameron Morris
>chinese propaganda movies >no ghosts >no gay/lesbian characters TRIGGERED
James Fisher
no one wants to see a movie about chinks
no one in south america would watch it. the fact is people want to see white people and western civilization movies since it is the norm
fuck the chinks the number one movie there is a fat tranny mermaid@@!!!
Andrew Powell
i know this is capecentral but everyone knows something by wong kar wai
Brody Cooper
>no gay/lesbian characters
based chinese overlords
Jonathan Reyes
jackie chan
Kevin Walker
Only because they can't torrent, joke's on them
John Edwards
>Wong Kar Wai >Hong Kong >not China
Sebastian Bailey
one party two systems
Anthony Hernandez
>make him Ang Lee
Eli Clark
awww shit i fucked up
Robert Richardson
It's probably for the best. 2016 only had about 6 Merican movies that were decent. 2 of them were capeshit. I for one applaud our new Chinese overlords.
Adam White
who?
Hudson Russell
what a fucking stupid chink
what does he know about movies
Levi Murphy
Fucking chinks ruin everything, this can only be bad.
Elijah Gray
Already mentioned before: No effect will be noticed.
Ethan Miller
Yeah, based China with their superior patrician tastes XD
Gabriel Thomas
they take it over. they win two years later vr really takes off Americans the leader in vr. probbaly not true make mostly vr movies on top again
Jackson Torres
what movie will be the first to reach $10 bing in the box office?
Titanic 2 with Fan Bing Bing and Li Bing Bing?
Cooper Garcia
I have no doubts actually, as long as the movies are in english i will watch. I'm not from a English speaking country, but is a fact that aryan based languages are easier to understand, as the sound is simpler.
Owen Brown
>vr really takes off AHAHAHAHA
Asher Phillips
>Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing aren't the same person >Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing aren't even sisters My life is shattered
Also ayy lmao at the Chinese poster for RE5
Jace Hernandez
you already see with the new star wars that they're blatantly pandering to the Chinese audience in Hollywood.
Completely ruins movies and removes any semblance that they have any kind of love put into them kek.
Robert Jones
the American poster for reference
Henry Clark
are you telling me they will make more movies then us. or are you telling me they will make more money from movies then us or are you telling me Chinese movie stars will outshine other actors and they will get the most roles?
Lincoln Martin
>h-he fell for the vr is dead meme it'll happen any day now I tell you!
Liam Torres
my chinese friend used to tell me that the Bing Bing's are like the Audrey Hepburn and Katherine Hepburn of China lol
Sebastian Jackson
>Chinese propaganda Ok, I've seen Jewish propaganda for years so it won't be that bad >no ghosts Good. They're shit. >no gays/lesbians Based Xi.
Josiah Martinez
What was she pointing at?
Lincoln Ramirez
They are telling you that more movies, western or not, will cater to chinese audiences
Caleb Bennett
Hollywood will make movies for Chinese audiences first, and westerners second.
Jonathan Stewart
China will never overtake the US in movie making, it just doesn't have the Western culture, hence no appeal to far away countries.
I've watched Three Kingdoms (the TV series) and the style is so different many people won't like it. Now I personally loved Three Kingdoms, but it felt so alien to me, if you get what I mean.
Aaron Lewis
Much better. The Asian chick is cute but looks awkward.
Michael Morgan
And here's the 2016 results to contrast with the all-time results. Pure kino.
Luke Gray
That seems more likely.
Grayson Collins
>implying they'll need to
They'll be spending more money on films that the Americans, and lord knows they'll be so much cheaper to make with cheap labor.
Christopher Walker
if Hollywood was smart they would be doing their best to find Chinese Brad Pitts / Scarlett Johansons and turning them into "stars"
Lincoln Gutierrez
Spoiler alert: Milla is the main character in this movie and the "asian chick" is her sidekick who gets maybe 20 minutes of screentime and spends much of the picture unconscious or being held hostage by bad guys
Cooper Lee
I couldn't care less desu, hollywood and capeshit need to GTFO already.
Jeremiah Allen
Why should I spoonfeed some entry level pleb that probably has never even seen a french new wave film?
Adrian Robinson
I guess I need to watch this Mermaid shit
>The film tells the story of a playboy businessman (Deng Chao) who falls in love with a mermaid (Lin Yun) who was sent to assassinate him.[9][10][11] I'm not going to lie that, that sounds pretty interesting.
Julian Butler
For some strange reason Matt Damon, Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. movies are tremendously successful in China but Will Smith, Denzel Washington and Idris Elba movies aren't.
Jeremiah Peterson
No shit. Men significantly taller than the Chinese make them feel bad about being short.
Andrew Rodriguez
>more white people and chinks in movies thanks to chinese >people think this is not an improvement
Jayden Kelly
Fact is: I can't read these without thinking about schew. More people watch movies than ever before, so of course new movies get bigger turnouts. This is only one of many things. Demographics appear as well: is it for all audiences? Is it good for China, who has more people? Etc. I just can't take it without a grain of salt.
Dylan Bailey
Great analysis, I'd never have figured that out.
Dylan Howard
...
Matthew Bailey
Kevin Hart confirmed for next Chinese box office star
Caleb Robinson
so how exactly do i move to china so they can pay me to be the white guy they invite to shit to pretend white people care about chinks.
the lack of black people would only be a bonus
Henry Perez
makes u rlly think tbhonest
Evan Hernandez
>THE ROBOT IS BIGGER THAN THE BLACK GUY
China should focus on comedies for their future films because they are really good at being unintentionally funny lol
Jaxson Garcia
thanks
Jaxson Ortiz
Kungfu movies, user. There's a reason Kung Fu Hustle and KungPow are great.
Did MST3K ever do Kungfu movies? I always keep with the sci fi movies.
Jordan Ward
i dont get it i thought blacks were hated in america because of how violent and smelly they were but china doesnt have blacks why does china hate blacks?
Isaac Long
Apologize.
Blake Hughes
>tfw you realize this is the Jew's avenue to continue pushing degenerate race mixing
Owen Clark
maybe it's just xenophobia. something different is scary.
Leo Wood
wtf I love China now.
Isaiah Jones
Nobody likes blacks because of how bad Africa is. We know that are useless people.
Jayden Jackson
The standard of beauty in China is white/pale. The whiter you are, the prettier you are.
China has been and still is mostly mono-ethnic. For many their first exposure to black people was in old Hollywood shows and movies, which typically showed blacks as criminals and thugs. So especially for older generations, that's how they are viewed.
Daniel Rogers
most asian cultures are ranked in skin tone still
being whited skinned meant you were not a laborer or from some poor region
thats what they say anyway
Grayson Phillips
>That's my secret, Cap, I'm always Ang Lee
What did he mean by this?
Kevin Bell
Who says this
Leo Morris
Clearly this is a sign that China will soon collapse.
Wyatt Smith
asians when they talk about skin whitening creams
Joshua Davis
Yeah, I can tell Asia has their own unique version of niggers
Like how Australia has fucked up pouched equivalents of everything
Parker Edwards
>ghosts are bad >skeletons are bad >zombies are OK what the fuck redundant criteria are these chinks using?
Jordan Robinson
>their first exposure to black people was in old Hollywood shows and movies, which typically showed blacks as criminals and thugs
if that is the case black people really are fucked forever
Alexander Collins
Its not white skin in asian culture just meant you belonged to an upperclass
same in india
Leo Edwards
You've never heard of jungle Asians before?
Nicholas Allen
The only "undead" zombies were in Resident Evil Apocalypse
Every other installment has mutants and lately they don't even really look like dead bodies at all
Jaxson James
There are white indians?
Evan Thomas
>The Mermaid is actually directed by Stephen "kung fu hustle" Chow >starring based Tsui Hark Fuck. I have to watch this, now.
Levi Baker
>china has like 10x the population of america >"their box office will boom"
This is considering an observation worth reporting on
Jayden Taylor
Not very "white" by European standards but you can still see how they stack up to the regular poo colored plebs
Levi Lewis
>cocks are bad >vaginas are bad >sex is bad >cursing is bad >murder is OK We've been asking the same shit of you americans for ages. Welcome to the rest of the world.
Luke Butler
An observation from a well-known director, as opposed to a shitpost by some retard who doesn't know the difference between considered and considering. And on that note, considering the shit threads on Sup Forums, yes it most definitely is.
Isaiah Edwards
g8 post m8 here's your (you)
Mason Moore
>Chinese dominates the box office Blizzard gets to dominate the screen then? Guess we'll get starcraft soon.
Isaiah Martinez
No need to be so Ang Lee user
Matthew Edwards
Kindly suck my Cao Cao, user.
Gavin Lee
thx, captain obvious
Chinese give advantages to their domestic movies, eg they could stay in cinemas for longer time,
