7.In the days before bootleg(非法销售)DVDs,anyone who lived in China during the early 1990s will remember how terribly exciting it was when a foreign film was screened ln the cinema.Only 20foreign films a year were allowed to be shown in Chinese cinemas until February 2012.The US film industry has shown a lot of interest in developing its business in China.The reasons for this are clear. China has a population of over 1.3billion and,with the standard of living rising all the time,the US film industry wants a slice (一片)of the profits.There are thousands of new cinemas being added throughout China.Technology is also improving all the time,meaning that more and more cinemas are able to show films in 3D or IMAX format(形式).
There is now a greater possibility of the US film industry earning more from the Chinese market.Now an agreement has been signed that will allow the number of foreign films a year to be increased to 34.This agreement with China will offer thousands of Americans jobs in and around the film industry.In addition,studios will be able to get 25%of the box office proceeds(收益),This was previously limited to about 13.5%. The real winners of the agreement will be The China Film Group and the Chinese cinema owners who make the largest profits.
The new deal is a huge step in the right direction.Even better.it will hopefully cut down on the Chinese bootleg DVD industry,which has long taken advantage of the fact that most Western films won't be shown in Chinese cinemas.

Pulitzer was born in Mako,Hungary.At 17,Pulitzer attempted to join the Austrian army,but was turned down due to age,bad health and poor eyesight.Disappointed but still with hope,he traveled first to Paris and then to London,hoping to join the army there.And he was rejected for the same reasons.Finally,he moved to the United States in 1864and served in the Lincoln Army when he was just 18until the end of the American Civil War.After the war he settled in St.Louis,Missouri,where in 1868he started working as a reporter for a German-language daily newspaper,the Westliche Post.He joined the Republican Party and was elected to the Missouri State Assembly in 1869.
In 1872.Pulitzer bought the Westliche Post for 3,000.Then,in1879,heboughttheSt.LouisDispatchfor2,700and merged (合并) the two papers as the St.Louis Post-Dispatch,which remained St.Louis'daily newspaper.He bought the New York World in 1883,which turned out to be a successful decision,and which made Pulitzer wealthy.In 1885,he was elected to the US House of Representatives,but resigned after a few months'service.In 1895the New York World introduced the first newspaper comic printed with colour.Under Pulitzer's leadership circulation (发行量) grew from 15,000to 600,000,making it the largest newspaper in the country.But unfortunately from 1890,Pulitzer's already failing health worsened rapidly and he withdrew from direct management of the newspaper,and simply gave some instructions from his vacation houses in Maine or in New York.At the age of forty,he was struck blind,but he still continued to run his press empire for twenty-two more years.
In 1892,Pulitzer offered Columbia University's president money to set up the world's first school of journalism.But the university turned down the offer.In 1902,Columbia's new president willingly accepted the plan for a school and prizes,but it would not be until after Pulitzer's death that this dream would come true.Pulitzer left the university $2million in his will,which led to the creation in 1912of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.And up till now,Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism still remains one of the most famous in the world.
Joseph Pulitzer died aboard his sailing boat in 1911.He was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx,New York.In 1917,the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded,as Pulitzer wished to.
In 1989,in honor of his great achievements and contributions,Pulitzer was included in the St.Louis Walk of Fame.
