China’s film industry grossed more than 40 billion RMB in 2015 which for the first time with over 60% from domestic production. The 2016 Chinese New Year holidays witnessed phenomenal increases. China’s box office is expected to reach 100 billion RMB in 2020, surpassing North America to become the world’s largest film market. China’s film industry’s rapid globalization has recently effected strategic deals with the world’s largest film markets including Hollywood, UK, India, Japan and Korea on content, IP, talent, capital, technology, distribution channels, etc. How should Hong Kong and Asian film industries capitalize on opportunities brought by China’s film industry’s globalization?
