In some cases, the rise of China's entertainment industry has deepened our understanding of a country and culture that remain misunderstood, even demonized. In more insidious cases, it has braided a censorious agenda into moviemaking.

Introduction

From scenes set in Shanghai and Beijing to cameos by famous Chinese actors, China is everywhere in Hollywood blockbusters.

The ties between China and Hollywood go much deeper than we might realize, as American studio executives regularly meet with Chinese government officials to agree on movie scripts and theatrical cuts.

When author Erich Schwartzel joined The Wall Street Journal as their film industry correspondent, he was amazed at the extent of Chinese influence in Hollywood.

In Red Carpet, Schwartzel explores how Chinese political interests have impacted Hollywood movies since the 1990s and why the Chinese government is developing its own film industry to overtake Hollywood on the global cinematic stage.
