Global Media Integration: Sino-US Co-productions in the Age of Globalization

In recent years, one of the hottest topics in film development has been co-production. It is an effective channel for connecting the non-Western film market with the international film market, as well as a new option for international film companies such as Hollywood in the age of media globalisation. Current media globalization has significantly weakened the hegemonic position of cultural empires, and Hollywood, as the most typical Western cultural hegemonic collective, has actively sought co-production with other countries to maintain its international reputation status. Regardless of whether American hegemony persists, this essay argues that co-productions provide new opportunities and growing opportunities for the global media industry. This study will begin with a definition of globalisation and Sino-US production, followed by a discussion of the challenges and benefits of Sino-US cooperation. Following that, using The Great Wall and Iron Man 3 as case studies, discuss the global impact of Sino-US media cooperation.
