Exhaustively researched, this book is jam packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, analysis and details about the Hollywood and Chinese cinemas, studios, filmmakers, filmmaking, actors, and movies that have entertained and impacted audiences worldwide for over 100 years.
It also shows exactly when the fate of Hollywood and China intersected, when and how China began to pass Hollywood, and the consequences of having China censors and CCP leaders greatly influence which films the world sees and which films it does not. Absorbing, entertaining and fast-paced, this book gives Hollywood, and audiences everywhere, an impassioned wake-up call about our beloved film industry and its relationship to China. Who will answer the call before it's too late?
