Content production is increasingly affected by China's evolving stance toward Hollywood movies. Hollywood’s efforts to win favor include adjusting content to meet Chinese censorship standards, which often entails removing or altering culturally sensitive elements. Despite these efforts, some Chinese viewers remain skeptical, criticizing portrayals as oversimplified stereotypes, or lamenting a perceived cultural insensitivity.
Furthermore, comments from Chinese netizens suggest that Chinese audiences prefer films tailored to their preferences, often criticizing Western portrayals as lacking authenticity or overly stereotyped. This cultural disconnect means Hollywood faces an uphill battle in engaging this vital audience segment authentically and profitably.
