A Chinese real estate magnate is all set to establish china as a global movie maker power house, one that can create big budget English language movies that can compete Hollywood films.
The movie is produced using 3-D technology cameras and is a hot pot of ancient Greek warriors, pirates,nder water kingdoms, a villain called the Demon Mage and mermaids that kill men during sex. The film stars most of the American actors but it is shot on the world’s largest studio , north of Beijing.
The budget is $100 million , the biggest ever for a chinese movie.
There are many restrictions on Hollywood movies in chines to safeguard Chinese film industry. No more than 10 movies can be shown each year in China although American Lobbyist are trying hard to increase this number from 10 to 25 as China can prove to be the biggest market for Hollywood movies.
Mulan, an animated movie based on Chinese legend did not prove successful in China though it was quite a success outside China. Chinese rejected the movie because the character Mulan was foreign looking, different complexion and behaviour from authentic Chinese legend.
Lotus Latern is another successful animated movie primarily in China and if China continues to produce these kind of movies, it can grab global share of market.
