Jackie Chan urges Chinese filmmakers to make better films and he thinks that letting more Hollywood films in the country will pressure them to do it.
"It is this pressure that makes our filmmakers work harder and shoot better films," Chan told reporters at a news conference in Beijing on Tuesday. "If we had shot our own films behind closed doors without any competition, we wouldn't have had the growth in box office we have today."
It can be noted that China only sets a quota when it comes to the allowable movies that can be shown in the country.
With regards to this, negotiators from the U.S. and China are expected to have an agreement soon which will allow more films in China, adding up to ten more movies to the past negotiation and agreement. To recall, there was a five-year deal which allowed 34 foreign films in the country.
