Was b& from 4chan's Holla Forums for posting this and I don't know why:
I work in Hollywood. This is based off my everyday personal experiences and what I'm seeing happen to the industry I've spent my life working for and loving. For some reason, this post has been silenced on 4chan and Reddit:
If you read the Hollywood Reporter, it's very likely you've seen this alarming story: hollywoodreporter.com
If you've been paying attention, you've noticed the subtle propagandist themes in recent Chinese-funded movies. Everything from Iron Man 3 to Transformers 4 has had Chinese government propaganda. It's creepy. Dr. Strange removed Tibet from the plot. Star Wars hid Finn in international marketing. It goes on and on and on.
Well, folks, it's about to get a lot worse. With Wanda buying Legendary, and plans to invest in all six Hollywood studios, massive Chinese co-productions like The Great Wall, propaganda is about to get huge.Hollywood isn't innocent: American films have had propaganda issues as well, but Hollywood has historically been allowed to criticize the US government. Not the case with China.
All of this on top of corporate consolidation is murdering the low to mid budget studio film and we are in for a toxic brew:
-Say goodbye to the adult-contemporary drama.
-Say goodbye to the R-Rated comedy.
-Say goodbye to films that place characters first. (They can be on TV after all. rolleyes)
I work in the movie industry, and what we are witnessing is a soft corporate takeover by foreign interests. People are losing jobs by the thousands while Chinese money is being given to Hollywood's richest. Films are being intentionally dumbed down/censored/softened for the Chinese market. It's a horrible time to be a creative in the mainstream film industry.
I don't know what needs to be done, but someone's gotta stick up for the film workers of LA against this hostile takeover.
