China Media Capital recently entered a joint venture with Warner Bros to develop and produce a slate of Chinese-language films, including global tentpoles, for worldwide distribution. That partnership, Flagship Entertainment Group, will be based in Hong Kong with offices in Beijing and LA. Hong Kong broadcaster TVB has 10% of that CMC-led consortium.

State-backed CMC is also partnered with Oriental DreamWorks and recently set up a fund with IMAX for investment in a minimum of 10 Mandarin-language tentpoles. Last week, CMC announced a joint venture with Merlin Entertainments to create world-class visitor attractions in China including a Legoland park in the Shanghai area and the development of DreamWorks Tours – Kung Fu Panda Adventures. Kung Fu Panda 3 is due for release in China on January 29.

I heard on grapevine the bridge is coming down and being replaced. City have bought a bridge in China, bit like the Americans did in buying what they thought was London Bridge. Going to take it down in China and re-erect it over Alan Turing Way, my mate has just emailed me the photo. Personally I think it looks great!

Just read the same thing. Warner Bros would be an incredible partner for a visitor attraction, probably second only to Disney.

WHO ARE THE INVESTORS?
State-backed China Media Capital was founded by Li Ruigang, an influential Shanghai Communist Party member who has deftly mixed business and politics.

During Xi's state visit to Britain, the Chinese president and the Prince William looked on as Li inked a deal with a British attraction operator to build a new Lego theme park in Shanghai.

Li was present during Xi's visit to the US weeks earlier, when CMC announced a tie-up with Warner Brothers to produce and distribute films.

Aside from his film and entertainment concerns Li splashed $1.3bn last year to win broadcast rights for five years to the Chinese football league, in the latest sign of growing interest in football among China's business elite.

In 2014, Jack Ma, chairman of Internet giant Alibaba, purchased half of Guangzhou Evergrande, the reigning Asian Champions League winners.

Maybe we can have our own "Alright Wall of China" around the stadium to keep out those pesky rags?

Here's another interesting thing about our new board member Li Ruigang:

n 2009, Li founded CMC, an investment fund that attracted capital from the likes of China Development Bank and SMG when he was president of the media giant that controls Shanghai's major television and radio station.

CMC was catapulted into the international limelight in 2012 when it partnered with US entertainment giant DreamWorks Animation to build a 20 billion yuan theme park in Shanghai.


This announcement today could go down as the second most important development in the modern history of the club.
