The first motion picture in the world was produced in the early 1880s, and the first public screening occurred ten years later. It didn’t take long for the quality of films to improve as new filmmaking equipment emerged. Ever since the first movie was produced, the film industry has been continuously changing in response to emerging filmmaking technology. Introduction of digital photography and digital data storage along with the development of internet significantly influenced the film industry (Barsam, 2015). These technologies contributed

The film industry has always been somewhat of a dichotomy. Grounded firmly in both the worlds of art and business the balance of artistic expression and commercialization has been an issue throughout the history of filmmaking.

Over the years, Bollywood has emerged as its own distinct identity in the global Film industry. Bollywood is the global leader in production of movies with a staggering 27,000 featured films and thousands of short films. ( Pillania 1) However, Hollywood is still the leader in revenues generated. Due to the growth of the Indian market and globalization, Bollywood has made its way to the international markets.

We see this phenomenon with Hollywood’s growth from a domestic American film industry to transnational corporation dominating international markets. With a global box revenue of 38.6 billion (Faughnder), Hollywood’s multimillion-dollar empire is largely sustained by capitalism. A system which maintains itself based on the production, distribution, and exchange of mass-produced commodities by private corporations, capitalism is the cause of homogenization. Its motive to profit from the public is manifested in the monotonous mechanical reproductions of popular cultural products such as Hollywood’s iconic blockbuster films: Titanic, Star Wars, and Avatar.

However, the gains from the expanding industry come with high costs. Avoiding licensing costs from foreign production companies, many Chinese Internet video companies had become a haven for illicit American shows and hit South Korean soap operas. The illegal distribution of foreign content on these websites was an undoing to China’s endeavor to ascent to a strong intellectual property country. Amidst criticisms from the right holders in the international community, China has tightened its regulations against copyright infringement on online video streaming websites. Another rationale behind the government’s commitment to fighting copyright piracy is to protect domestic TV stations against the rampant popularity of foreign TV shows online. The Chinese government hopes that through an enforcement of IPR, China’s TV industry will see a reduce in the invasion of foreign TV shows due to high licensing costs and thus an increase in the production of domestic popular ones. Through a careful analysis of the legal framework and measures the Chinese government

The essential theme of “National” has been virtually reflected in a greater percentage of Chinese film and a number of propositions have been put forward to back up this trend. Probably due to the political history that has patterned China right from the empirical and feuding lord epochs to the now predominant nation-state mechanism of government. Thanks to the Han Dynasty that had a precursor vision of unifying China as one people; probably the earliest of enthusiast to envision the Chinese people as people from one fabric. Chinese film, even though can logically be differentiated from Taiwanese and Hong Kong film and cinema, where mainland China with a critical media base at Shanghai has often been
