Entertainment: Chinese Film
Film Industry in China
There are three different types of movies that China makes. These types are commercial, propaganda, and art movies. In 2009, Chinese films made about $908 million. Chinese movies are very popular at international film festivals. People in China are watching Chinese film less and less everyday. This is because they are watching movies made in the U.S and TV. In addition, the revenues for seeing movies in the theater have decreased because of the increase in pirated movies.Chinese movies have less sex than the movies in the U.S but have more fighting.
The first film to ever be played in China was in 1896 in Shanghai. The first Chinese made film was produced in 1905. In the 1930's, the most popular type of film made was emotional dramas. In the 1940's, the majority of films made were war movies. Many politically inspired movies appeared during the 1950's and 1960's.
Today, the most popular movies watched are action movies. In 2006, there were only 4,600 movie theaters in China while the U.S had 36,000. The price of a ticket to go and see a movie in the theaters is about $7 which is really expensive for the average Chinese worker. Since pirating movies has become such a big deal in China, most people stay in their own homes to watch movies.
