I would like to thank my colleagues Dillon Hawkins, Jared Ashburn, Skyler Osburn and my husband Jacob for their continuous support and their dedication to reading my work and providing helpful comments. iii Acknowledgements reflect the views of the author and are not endorsed by committee members or Oklahoma State University. Name: ANA-MARIA LUNGU Date of Degree: AUGUST, 2018 Title of Study: THESIS Major Field: ENGLISH Abstract: The three Mexican filmmakers, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Guillermo del Toro, dubbed The Three Amigos by scholar Deborah Shaw, have received a lot of critical attention in recent years. While the term Three Amigos and the scholarship that analyzes their early works from a transnational perspective seeks to other them and distinguish them from Hollywood, I argue that the three filmmakers did not depart from a place of difference, and that they embraced Hollywood filmmaking all along, from the beginning of their careers, to the most recent Academy Award recognitions.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Shot in Shanghai: Sino‐U.S. Media Co‐Production in the Post‐WTO Era A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Aynne Elizabeth Kokas 2012 © Copyright by Aynne Elizabeth Kokas 2012 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Shot in Shanghai: Sino‐U.S. Media Co‐Production in the Post‐WTO Era by Aynne Elizabeth Kokas Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Theodore Huters, Co‐Chair Professor John Caldwell, Co‐Chair “Shot in Shanghai” examines Sino-U.S. media co-production to reveal the complex negotiation between transnational commercial interests, state regulation of media, and the reform of the Chinese state-run film industry. By situating the study in the commercial center of Shanghai, the dissertation argues that the transformation of media industries exists as part of a delicate compromise between China’s hexie shehui (harmonious society—a euphemistic explanation for government control of media content) and the forces of global capital. To form a foundation for future scholarship in the fields of media studies and Chinese studies, the dissertation articulates the complexity of film co-production in the ten years between China’s accession to the WTO and the PRC’s 2011 twelfth five year plan. The dissertation introduces three central concepts that are crucial to understanding the growth of media collaboration between China and the U.S. These include the role of ii the urban brand, the importance of latter day compradors (maiban), and the growth of global production ecosystems in the PRC.

I suppose watching Journey to the Center of the Earth, In Search of the Castaways and The Time Machine steered me down my own career path, which has included the films 2001: A Space Odyssey, Tron, Star Wars and Airplane! “American Cinematographer was my window onto the souls of my fellow artists, because I never really had any contact with other directors of photography until I joined the ASC.
