The Chinese New Year holiday is considered the most important period for the country\u2019s annual box-office. By the end of February it was clear: a season anticipated to have the highest box-office on record suddenly turned into one of the lowest, with losses of \u00a31.1 billion (CNY 10 billion).<\/p>\n<p>Despite these difficulties, China\u2019s cinema industry is now among the first to recover globally. After a long closure starting in late January (with a brief attempt at reopening in March for two weeks), cinemas were finally given the green light to return to business on July 20.<\/p>\n<p>Up until October 3rd, the total box-office in China has reached \u00a31.1 billion (CNY 10 billon). This is a significant milestone that no other territory has ever achieved. And although on the face of it such an achievement may seem irrelevant to film companies and professionals in the UK, I would like to emphasise just how much the British film industry has contributed to this success.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the newly released films in 2020, The Eight Hundred is the most successful among them, sitting pretty at the top of the chart with \u00a3341 million (CNY 3 billion) in box office receipts to date. Directed by Guan Hu, The Eight Hundred is an epic war film about Japan\u2019s invasion of Shanghai during WWII in 1937 and based on the (true) story of the defence of Sihang Warehouse.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Up until October 3rd, the total box-office in China has reached \u00a31.1 billion (CNY 10 billon). This is a significant milestone that no other territory has ever achieved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Being the first Chinese film to be shot entirely on IMAX cameras, The Eight Hundred can also be seen as another milestone in terms of quality. It is fair to say that the IMAX cinematic experience offered by The Eight Hundred is fairly close to those offered by Hollywood studios. Building on its controversy last year when the film was pulled from the Shanghai International Film Festival\u2019s premier, local audiences had been looking forward to the film for over a year. Riding on the excitement of the reopening of cinemas, The Eight Hundred effortlessly overtook British war film 1917 which was released a week or so earlier, and Tenet, a week after.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6042\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6042\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6042\" src=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/the800.jpg\" alt=\"The 800\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/the800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/the800-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/the800-585x330.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6042\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">War epic The Eight Hundred worked with British VFX company DNEG<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, many may not realise that The Eight Hundred\u2019s high-quality visual effects (VFX) has the British film industry to thank \u2013 in particular a company called DNEG. Founded in 1998 with headquarters in London, DNEG is one of the world\u2019s leading visual effects and animation studios for feature film and television, with a record five Academy Awards. DNEG was jointly responsible for The Eight Hundred\u2019s visual effects and demonstrates the talents and skills that the British film industry continues to offer to the international market, particularly in the thriving post-production sector.<\/p>\n<p>Another significant British contributor toward The Eight Hundred was Rupert Gregson-Williams, who was jointly responsible for the film\u2019s original soundtrack composition. The British composer\u2019s well-known filmography includes Hotel Rwanda, Abominable, The Legend of Tarzan and many more.<\/p>\n<p>These collaborations reveal how reliant the Chinese film industry is on the talents and skills of other territories in order to achieve great box-office success like that of The Eight Hundred. The British film industry and its talents have a lot to offer in the future, to the film market that is about to become \u2013 if not already \u2013 the most important in the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>DNEG was jointly responsible for The Eight Hundred\u2019s visual effects and demonstrates the talents and skills that the British film industry continues to offer to the international market<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apart from The Eight Hundred, several British films (many of which were co-productions with the US) have also contributed to China\u2019s box-office recovery since July 20. For instance, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019) was released on July 31 and grossed \u00a3535,000 (CNY 4.7 million), Interstellar was re-released on August 2 and grossed \u00a313.7 million (CNY 121 million) and 1917 was released on August 7 and grossed \u00a37.8 million (CNY 69 million).<\/p>\n<p>Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone\u2019s 4K 3D version was re-released on August 15 and banked \u00a321 million (CNY 191 million) while Inception was re-released on August 28 with \u00a33.7 million (CNY 33 million). Finally, Tenet was released on September 4 and grossed an impressive \u00a350 million (CNY 447 million) box-office.<\/p>\n<p>In short, all of these films and their takings contributed a great deal toward Chinese cinema&#8217;s recovery and supported the post-COVID-19 box-office to achieve the record \u00a31.1 billion (CNY 10 billion) mentioned at the beginning of this article.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these stories are not often told by local media on either side and I&#8217;d like to take the liberty of encouraging journalists and critics alike to acknowledge the vibrant traffic between the two countries\u2019 film industries and to expect more from such collaborations in future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British film industry\u2019s part in China\u2019s post COVID-19 box-office recovery \u2013 and in particular The Eight Hundred \u2013 should not be overlooked, writes Dr Hiu Man Chan, founder and director of the UK-China Film Collab not-for-profit The drama began in late January, when all of China\u2019s Lunar New Year films were pulled and cinemas were ordered to close due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
