Gerry Lopez (izq.) y Zhang Lin Wanda will pay US$ 2.6 billion to do with AMC.

China entertainment industry has given a clear sample of their global ambitions with the announcement of the acquisition of the American Cinemas chain AMC by the conglomerate Dalian Wanda Group, owned by one of the richest men in the Asian nation.

The purchase transaction of which is the second largest chain of showrooms of United States - valued at US$ 2.6 billion - Wanda become the largest owner of cinemas by income of the planet and give access to the Chinese company the main film market in the world.

According to analysts, this agreement shows how in recent years the film industries of China and USA.UU. they have decidedly opted for closer ties and increase synergies.

"This acquisition is one further step in the integration of the film market Chinese and American", he told BBC World Lucas Shaw, editor of The Wrap, publication based in Los Angeles, California, specializing in the entertainment industry.

"Recently has increased much cooperation between the US film studios."UU. "companies and Chinese and after this agreement is to be expected that this will increase", said Shaw.

According to remember the editor of The Wrap, in recent years "have seen as globalization came to many types of industries" and, in his opinion, "the film industry is one more".

Cine WandaWanda is the owner of the third cinema Exhibitor in China.

Founded by millionaire Wang Jianlin, Dalian Wanda Group has business in the field of real estate, hotels and shopping malls, to name a few.

Wanda is also owner of the third cinema Exhibitor in China, which has 86 theaters with 730 screens.

With the purchase of AMC, Wanda takes control of the 346 cinemas and more than 5,000 screens that the company has in the United States.UU. and Canada.

As it became known this Monday to announce the agreement, the Chinese company plans to invest $500 million in AMC. Part of this capital will be destined to pay off some of the debts of the company, recorded a loss of $73 million in the last quarter of 2011.

"This acquisition gives more power to Wanda to negotiate with film studies and US distributors, as it now has the second exhibit in the United States."UU. "and with one of the largest in China," said Lucas Shaw.

According to the journalist of The Wrap, realized this operation - which still must receive approval from the regulators of both countries - "Wanda might want to exhibit more Chinese movies in theaters in the United States.""U.S., but at the end they end up showing films that make them sell more tickets, are these Chinese, American or French".

Cine en ChinaLast year China recorded a 30 per cent increase in the sale of movie tickets.

Shaw agreed with some analysts that the Hollywood industry will also benefit from the agreement "that this might give more access to the productions of United States."UU. "to the Chinese market".

Also ensures that the Chinese company may exploit the knowledge and technology of AMC, "which will be used to expand within the Chinese territory" in formats like 3D or the Imax.

According to the Los Angeles Times, last year China recorded a 30 per cent increase in the sale of movie tickets to US$ 2,100 million, surpassing Japan as the largest foreign market for Hollywood films.

Although that is only a fraction of the US$ 10.200 million obtained at the box office in the United States.UU., must be borne in mind that the sale of tickets in the latter country is decreasing.

Is why U.S. companies are rushing to take positions in the Chinese market is expected to continue to grow rapidly in the coming years.

The purchase of AMC by Wanda is only the latest in a series of agreements signed between American and Chinese companies in the field of entertainment.

DisneyCompanies in the United States.UU. as Disney have signed collaboration agreements with Chinese firms.

Last February, the Dreamworks Studio announced it joined with China Media Capital to form Dreamworks East, which will be headquartered in Shanghai and will produce films of animation and action for a family audience, both inside and outside China.

Meanwhile, in April Disney made public agreements to contribute its expertise to Chinese producers in fields such as the development of scripts and human resources to capture local talent.

Another models recently exploited by American companies has been the create joint ventures with Chinese producers to produce films in English and sell them around the world.

This should add the trend to American productions adapt increasingly their contents to the audience of the Asian nation, incorporating themes, scenarios or stakeholders that they are more familiar.

But despite the steady increase in collaboration between the film industries of the two countries, the Hollywood studios still face two great challenges in the Chinese market: piracy and the quota system imposed by the Beijing Government to foreign films.

This system of assessments - which currently allows only the display of 34 foreign films per year (some of which must be in 3D or Imax theatres) - must be added the scheme of distribution of profits that studies gives a percentage of the collection of ticket office less than that you get in the United States.UU.

Analysts believe that the agreement reached between Wanda and AMC could contribute to relax some of these restrictions.

United Kingdom Brazilians feel the magnetism of his country

Carnicería brasileña en LondresLondon parties have a large concentration of inhabitants born in Brazil.

If you are a Brazilian who lives in United Kingdom, surely it wasn't back in the climate and is not to be due to high prices of properties.

Officially, there are about 50,000 Brazilians residing in United Kingdom, although some say that the figure could be four times greater.

In general, moved when the economy was very hard in his homeland, defying the inhospitable climate in search of better employment prospects.

But now that Brazil beat United Kingdom as the world's sixth economy, many are feeling nostalgia.

In the area of Willesden Junction, in West London, Brazilian businesses are flourishing. But it gives the impression that all are planning to return or know someone that is going.

Antonio LuzAntonio light is considering returning to Brazil.

One of them is Antonio light, 44 years, working in a butcher shop that sells Brazilian cuts of British meat.

Six years ago he became United Kingdom of his native city of Goiania, but he dreams of being your own boss on their land.

"I think that I'll be two years more and being a little shop or a restaurant in Brazil," he said.

Light is not the only one that pays attention to the most recent changes in the global balance of economic power.

It is likely that the last fall of United Kingdom in recession lasts little, but the International Monetary Fund considers that this year the country's economy will grow just 0.8%.

In contrast, expected Brazil a healthier growth of 3%.

Carnicería brasileña y portuguesaBrazilians in Willesden can easily find stores to suit their tastes.

"I hear many people say 'back to Brazil' because there are many employment opportunities beyond and an economic crisis in the European Union", says Simone Pereira, Secretary of the local Brazilian Association Press, open.

But the Brazilians keep coming to England, particularly in other countries such as Portugal and Spain, where the economy is worse off.

The Association works for which Pereira was the first of its kind in United Kingdom when it was created in 2006.

It now represents 7,000 families who pay US$ 80 per year to benefit from its services, including legal advice, help with several types of British bureaucracy and even psychological counseling.

His work keeps it in tune with current trends in the Brazilian community, and she has also seen people return to their country in search of a better life.

More recently, a friend of his from the southern city of Florianopolis, who spent 13 years in United Kingdom with his own business of painting and decorating, decided to return to Brazil.

"Came with his wife and two children, not knowing a word of English," he says.

"But now his daughter lives in Brazil and going to College, and he thought that things would be better than".

Abras, la asociación brasileña localOpen offers support services for Brazilians in United Kingdom.

Now, while the Brazil economy may be growing, the cost of living also.

According to the IMF, the Outlook for inflation in prices to the consumer in United Kingdom will be 2.4% for everything 2012. But in Brazil, will reach 5.2%, and rarely has been lower in the last decade.

Of course, it isn't as bad as annual inflation of 2,000 to 3,000% that plagued Brazil between the decades of 1980s and 1990s.

Yet it is still sufficient to give expatriates Brazilians what to think before say goodbye to life in United Kingdom.

"I was in Sao Paulo in December and they really surprised me prices," Pereira says. "Things were quite expensive."

That includes the prices of houses and apartments, which have sharply increased over the past five years.

Capital Economics consulting firm said that although it is difficult to tell with detailed figures, the available evidence suggests that the prices of residential properties have risen to more than double in Sao Paulo since 2008 and almost tripled in Rio de Janeiro.

The magnitude of those increments can be shocked to the Brazilians who have been living in United Kingdom at that time.

For example, a woman who thinks moving back to Sao Paulo after six years in London said that high prices of property in United Kingdom are one of the reasons for his return.

For her, the last drop that spilled the glass was to discover that a two bedroom apartment in the area who chose London would cost US$ 484,000.

"For the money", argues, "could buy me a House with four bedrooms in Alphaville", a residential community of luxury in the great São Paulo.

Maybe it is disappointing. Judging by the advertising of real estate agents on the internet, only the smaller apartments in that area would be at your fingertips.

And while prices of the British properties seem to be stagnant today, the price of houses in Brazil bubble continues to grow.

"Our best guess is that property in Brazil is, on average, 30% to 50% overvalued", says Neil Shearing, at Capital Economics.

Chancletas y guaranáEach Brazilian community abroad has its stores that sell classic products of Brazil.

Other countries with large concentrations of Brazilian residents have seen a similar exodus.

In particular, many Brazilians of Japanese origin who moved to the country of their ancestors in the 1990s have returned.

Since 2008, the number of japoneses-brasileños living in Japan has fallen from 300,000 to 210,000.

But in West London, at least there newly arrived from Brazil in search of economic opportunities.

In the shop Emporium Brazil offices of open, Lorraine - a student that takes only four months in United Kingdom - attends to the public after the counter.

There sells things like slippers and bottles of soft drinks flavored with Guarana, along with fruits and vegetables. "As if you were there!", proclaims a notice on Portuguese placed at the door.

She admits that working on a Brazilian store not aid precisely in their efforts to learn English. "But not all customers are Brazilian;" "there are also many English," adds.

Lorena is following the classic pattern of many Brazilians who arrived in United Kingdom. But today, as it explains Pereira in open, not all Brazilians that one finds in London are resident.

"In the past, all Brazilians here were studying or working," he said.

"But in the last four or five years, there are more tourists." "Many Brazilians come to Britain for tourism, because enough them money for more than before".

So it seems that United Kingdom will continue to be a popular destination for Brazilians in the future; Although it may only come visit, not to stay.
