China: Out from the Shadows
Since China’s media market is not yet an open market, censorship doesn’t seem to be a rare term in this industry that has long been closely supervised by government authorities. But with the trend of the entire movie industry gradually opening for international competition, the rules have started to loosen. Business Week has an interesting story about this change based on the true experience of a Chinese movie director whose recent movie was greenlighted for the first time in his career.
“With Chinese cinema under siege from Hollywood offerings and rampant DVD piracy, Beijing’s film authorities have decided to start letting directors decide what movies to make, says Wang. But he doesn’t expect rapid change.”
