To call Chinese film and TV a "show business" was almost a misnomer just a decade ago, since they were viewed in most cases as a Party mouthpiece for propoganda. With the rapid marketization of Chinese economy in recent years, however, Chinese film and TV, just like their counterparts in Hollywood, have been increasingly marching toward a market-driven business, and their ultimate goal is now to entertain the public. Box-Office (piaofang) and Rating (shoushilu) have become the "buzz" words for the industry people.
