The emergence of China as a new superpower in the world has prompted many investors to venture into this culturally rich country. In movies and the entertainment industry, many actors, actresses, directors, photographers, etc. have made their name worldwide. Famous artists like Zhang ZiYi, Gong Li, Jit Lee, Chow Yun Fat Shuqi, etc. have established themselves in Hollywood. Directors such as Ang-Lee, Wong Kah Wei, Zhang Yi Moa, are well known in the industry.
Technically, China’s movie industry is still a big distance behind Hollywood in terms of movies’ themes, plots, shooting techniques and research., nothing will stop the “Eastern Dragon” from moving forward. There will be more and more quality movies presented by this country for the world. Nevertheless, to make it successful, the integration of other movie elements or influences into Chinese movies are very important.
The setting up of a new film company by Jackie Chan is good news for the Chinese society. Talented actors, actresses, film directors have more opportunities to present their ideas and skills. Having said that it is an investment project which stresses on dollar and cents, it is also an encouraging move by Jackie Chan.
