Within the next 10 years, we are not going to be the biggest market place, everything is going to change,&#8221; she told a forum at the Hong Kong International Film and Television Market (FILMART) in March.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s rapidly expanding film industry continues to break new ground and set new records, collecting an estimated 13.1 billion yuan ($2.07 billion) in 2011 &#8212; up by around 30 percent on-year.<\/p>\n<p>Around 2,500 more cinema screens are expected to be unveiled across the country this year, with its market now the third largest behind Japan and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>This compares with a clear slowdown in North America.<\/p>\n<p>The Motion Picture Association (MPA) says box office takings from 2007 to 2011 in the United States and Canada grew only 6.3 percent to $10.2 billion, while the Asia-Pacific region saw 38-percent growth to $9 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Zhang Yimou&#8217;s &#8220;The Flowers of War&#8221; was China&#8217;s biggest box office smash of the past 12 months, starring Oscar-winning American actor Christian Bale.<\/p>\n<p>It collected around $90 million from the Chinese box office while picking up a nomination for best foreign language film at the prestigious Golden Globes in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>It comes as Hollywood looks to increasingly give a Chinese angle to its output.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are so many stories that you can tell and right now China is hot, so many people want to know more,&#8221; said screenwriter Glenn Berger, who wrote the popular 2008 animated Hollywood comedy &#8220;Kung Fu Panda&#8221; and its 2011 sequel.<\/p>\n<p>A box-office hit in China, the film told the story of Po, an oversize and unfit panda who dreams of becoming a martial arts hero. But Berger said the movie was never really about China or kung fu.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were just trying to tell a classic underdog story, not particularly a Chinese story,&#8221; he said of the film.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it was very well received in the Chinese market because they thought it was very respectful of Chinese culture,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kung Fu Panda raked in an estimated $630 million, with $26 million from the Chinese mainland alone.<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong&#8217;s FILMART exhibition is Asia&#8217;s major entertainment industry market and one of the top three events of its kind in the world.<\/p>\n<p>This year it attracted a record 648 exhibitors and more than 5,700 buyers, up 14 percent from last year. The US pavilion had over 40 US exhibitors, or about 25 percent more than last year.<\/p>\n<p>Industry veterans say Chinese audiences are particularly drawn to movies that include Chinese references or elements of Chinese culture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People want to feel connected,&#8221; said Chinese American writer Rita Hsiao, who wrote the screenplay for &#8220;Toy Story 2&#8221; and 1998 animated musical &#8220;Mulan&#8221;, a story about a legendary Chinese girl-warrior.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you have that universal message and it&#8217;s interesting, everybody everywhere can connect with it,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main obstacles for foreign filmmakers wanting to crack the Chinese market is a law limiting the number of international films that can be screened in the country to just 20 a year.<\/p>\n<p>It forces studios to co-produce films with Chinese partners or risk having their films blocked at the border.<\/p>\n<p>But all the pandas in the world won&#8217;t guarantee a hit in China.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has to succeed on all the fundamentals of a movie, not just because it is shot in China,&#8221; Berger said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China&#8217;s booming movie industry is attracting interest from Hollywood heavyweights, as they chase bigger box-office returns to offset tighter margins at home.
