    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne. He has a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Gloucestershire, UK, with expertise in Chinese- language cinema. He is a PhD supervisor, a film festival jury member, and an enthusiast of digital filmmaking with award- winning short films. He is the editor ofMigration and Memory: Arts and Cinemas of the Chinese Diaspora (Maison des Sciences et de l’Homme du Pacifique, 2019).

    Exceptional Marketing of “Monster Hunt 2” Brings in RMB 200 Million Presales Presented by Edko Films Hong Kong, “Monster Hunt 2” opened in Mainland China and Hong Kong on 16 February 2018 (the 1st day of Lunar New Year). The full-fledged promotion campaign included a worldwide premiere in a primetime special feature on 14 February (Lunar New Year's Eve) on Zhejiang Television, a television channel known for hosting variety shows and singing contests. Taiwanese pop band Mayday performed at the event. The lead cast of “Monster Hunt 2”, including Tony Leung and Li Yuchun, were celebrity guests invited to the big party game show. The night was filled with dancing, festivities and “Monster Hunt 2” previews. The first primetime television commercials following the signature CCTV annual New Year's Gala was that of “Monster Hunt 2”. Edko Films invested heavily in the marketing on the two television channels. Opened in 2016, “Monster Hunt” grossed a record-breaking RMB 2.438 billion. William Kong, Executive Director of Edko Films and the financer of “Monster Hunt”, found great confidence in filming a sequel with a bigger cast and crew, including A-lister Tony Leung. In addition to television, marketing events were plenty in other premises and on media platforms. Baby monster Wuba’s face was seen all over major shopping malls in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Chinese New Year related merchandise, such as couplets and red envelopes, were distributed throughout. The auspicious and audacious marketing campaigns led to massive record-breaking success at box office with RMB 200 million at ticket presales in the history of Chinese cinema.

  • The Development of the Chinese Film Industry in 2018
    8 The development of the Chinese film industry in 2018 Shuzhen Sun The year 2018 was the 40th anniversary of China’s Reform and Open Door policy. In light of the new era and spirit of the 19th Party Congress of China, 2018 was the first year for the Chinese film industry to thoroughly incorp- orate the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics into its filmmaking practice. This is the key to implementing the 13th Five- Year Plan to achieve an overall prosperous society. The year of 2018 was also the beginning of the unified management of film work by the Central Publicity Department. To standardize and support the development of the film industry, the Central Committee of the Party and the State Council successively issued a series of film industry policies and measures in 2018. Along with an improvement in the audience’s consumption level and the change of the consumption con- cept, the broad market and good consumption foundation further contributed to the development of the quality and quantity of Chinese film productions (Table 8.1). Analysis of the environment of China’s film industry in 2018 The policy environment of the Chinese film industry In 2018, the Chinese film industry reform continued. The Notice on Further Regulating the Taxation Order of the Film and Television Industry, and the Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Cinemas to Promote the Prosperity and Development of the Film Market and other film policies and regulations were introduced, one after another, resulting in the swift develop- ment of the film industry in China.

    IMAX ENJOYS RECORD-SHATTERING OPENING AT CHINESE BOX OFFICE DURING CHINESE NEW YEAR IMAX® Releases of Detective China Town 2, Monster Hunt 2 and Operation Red Sea Generate Combined Four-Day Box Office of ¥112 Million (US$18 Million) LOS ANGELES and SHANGHAI – Feb. 20, 2018 – IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) and IMAX China (HKSE: 1970) today announced that IMAX reported record-shattering opening box office during the Chinese New Year. Driven by the strong performance of three IMAX local-language films – Detective China Town 2, Monster Hunt 2 and Operation Red Sea – IMAX grossed ¥112 million (US$18 million) over the four-day period starting Feb. 16 across IMAX® theatres in China. This marked IMAX China’s best Chinese New Year four-day performance ever, and represents a 60 percent increase in the box office over the same holiday period in 2017. IMAX theatres earned ¥40million (US$6.4 million) on Feb. 16, marking the best-ever opening day, single day and highest Chinese New Year opening day for IMAX in China. Detective China Town 2, Monster Hunt 2 and Operation Red Sea represented the top three films in China over the four-day period, with the films trading the top spot throughout the period. IMAX theatres represented 83 out of the top 100 locations for 2018 Chinese New Year weekend. “We’d like to extend our sincere congratulations to our long-time partners and friends at Wanda Pictures, Edko Film and Bona Film on their successful openings,” said Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment.
