Infos

As China looks to reinvigorate its soft power by drawing on the creative inputs of foreign media producers and technical expertise, this book explores how and why creative workers are moving to the Mainland from East Asia, and how they are navigating the challenges of producing creative and critical content in a politically constrained environment.

---

Now in paperback, this volume examines this phenomenon, looking at examples from film, documentary, television, animation and games.In recent years, many media producers, screenwriters, technicians and investors from the Asia-Pacific region have been attracted to projects in the Peoples Republic of China. The Chinese state's willingness to consider collaboration with foreign partners is a major factor that is enticing and supporting a range of new ventures. Projects, often with a lighter commercial entertainment feel, compared with the propaganda-oriented content of the past, are multiplying. With this surge in production and the availability of resources and locations, creative talent is moving to the Mainland from South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.
