Chinese New Year 2018's Record-Breaking MOVIE BOX OFFICE (CGTN)
Thanks to my friends at CGTN for another opportunity to appear on their international arts & entertainment show "Culture Express"! I added my two cents to the lead story about the record-smashing Chinese New Year box office, right at the top of the episode. Fun fun!

Appearance on CGTN's "CULTURE EXPRESS": January 15, 2018
I just popped up on CGTN's "Culture Express" again today my time, this time adding my two cents' worth on The Last Jedi's massive China fail, Coco's historic success, the impact of the Chinese market on Hollywood, and what a winning strategy must consider moving forward.

JENNIFER HSIUNG: Comedy & Family
Jennifer Hsiung - Comedy & Family
This week’s guest is Jennifer Hsiung. Jennifer is a Canadian born to Taiwanese parents; she lives and works in Beijing as a TV anchor and reporter, a budding standup comedian, and - as she is 7 months pregnant at the time of posting this - is a very busy mother of “two and a half” kids.
Jennifer first came to China on a cultural exchange trip, but her big break after she moved to the mainland was when she became a sports reporter for CCTV during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. That opportunity led to many others as a reporter and news anchor, and Jennifer is now a host of the popular show “Culture Express” on CGTN, formerly CCTV English International, where she interviews prominent guests from the arts and entertainment world. She is also part of the growing standup comedy scene in China, which we discuss in detail.
This episode is as real as it is comedic. Jennifer brings a very interesting perspective to the show; as someone who is a foreigner from North America, but is of Asian ancestry, she has unique insights into both worlds that are worth hearing, and she has a way of making the truth funny that I think you’ll really enjoy.
