From Hollywood, to China

First lets talk about Hollywood. They say it's the home of the movie industry but that appears to be changing right before our eyes! It's true, and what country is riveling the late and great Hollywood? China! China's movie industry is growing everyday along with the growing audience. The biggest problem movies face today is the way things are changing in the way you and me watch movies. Only a couple of years ago when we wanted to watch a movie we would go to the cinema. Now we just log on to Netflix. The thing is people don't go to the movies that much anymore, but apparently the Chinese do. Films like "Pacific Rim" and "Iron Man 3", while doing well in the states, were absolutely huge in China. More and more movies are getting filmed in China to appeal to Chinese audiences. Even the upcoming "Transformers 4" takes place almost entirely in Hong Kong. So it begs the question, what will become of this? Some say Hollywood is moving to China. With the way it's looking now that might not be such a crazy idea.
