China has a message for Hollywood: The door to the fastest-growing film market is not wide open. Chinese film regulators say they are cracking down on China-U.S. co-productions as several upcoming films have exploited existing co-production rules to gain easy entry into the Chinese film market, according to a report from the state-owned China Daily. Some film companies are doing the absolute minimum, such as adding a Chinese actor to a film in a supporting role, to slide their movies under a classification that was meant to benefit both markets, the report cited the deputy head of China’s State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Zhang Pimin, as saying.
