Hollywood Uncorked Podcast

Nothing looms larger on Hollywood’s horizon than China—how to appeal to its audiences, attract its investment dollars, and navigate its rules and customs along the way. In this episode, we talk about the intricacies of Chinese funding with two American producers who have done plenty of it: Resonate Entertainment’s Brent Emery and Nick D’Angelo of China-backed Cristal Pictures. Over three bottles of wine from Spain’s Lopez de Heredia winery, the panel discusses the negative affect of a crackdown by the Chinese government on money fleeing the country, and why forming personal connections with Chinese backers is essential to a transaction. Meanwhile, director Gren Wells fills in for an absent Scott to talk about her role in the New York Times article that broke the news of Louis C.K.’s sexual misconduct.
