I heard a fascinating report on NPR the other day about how film makers are seeking to adapt classic US movies to the Chinese market…with mixed success.
One of the movies that failed was High School Musical.
But, the part of the story that got me was the fact that:
China's High School Musical wasn't actually set in a high school. It had to be transplanted to a college.
That's because Chinese high schools involve such a huge workload, it would be impossible for students to take part in the singing contest around which the film revolves.
The more I think about American competitiveness, the more this kind of thing drives home the point that I should be concerned.
