They won't be American. The balance of power has already shifted east. There are now more productions, more money and more facilities east of Madrid than west of it.

This is wild fantasy.

the global power centers of TV distribution, monetization, and intellectual property ownership remain overwhelmingly American.

Look I get how Ne Zha 2 was a big success and showed signs of good production quality, but lets be honest: The movie was boring. I'm sure the mostly Chinese audience that sat with me in the theater enjoyed it but I fell asleep halfway in.

The "east" has more work to do to capture that magic that the western imperial order (Hollywood) has wrought upon the world.

I will continue to watch and observe how things play out.

So the companies in charge of distributing the content are American-based multinationals; production leaks out of the US toward prettier places and more amicable laborers; if you’re American and want to tag along—in or behind the scenes—you’re going to need a passport or a visa.

Or something like that?

Why on earth would Madrid be the dividing line between east and west?

I haven't heard of any of them, which I am open to being because of my own ignorance. Can you give some examples?
