LOS ANGELES—Investment capital? They’re loaded.
    Film studios? They are promising to build the world’s fanciest.
    As for movie stars, few are more【C1】______(dazzle)than Li Bingbing, who was an honorable guest here at the annual US-China Film Summit.
    But China’s ambitious new film【C2】bus______, dozens of whom gathered in the Los Angeles area this week for the summit meeting, the American Film Market and other events, are still searching for something that has largely eluded them: a home-made global hit.
    "We have 5 , 000 years of history. We have lots of stories," said Yang Buting, the chairman of the China Film Distribution and Exhibition Association, who spoke on a panel at the gathering on Tuesday.
    But Mr. Yang added, "To create movies that are【C3】uni______appealing, that is an issue for us. "
    China’s domestic box office is now the world’s second-largest, behind the United States, with an expected $ 3. 5 billion in sales this year. That growing market has been pursued aggressively, and with considerable success, by Hollywood, whose studios—to capture a mainland audience for films like Iron Man 3 or Pacific Rim—have worked with Chinese partners, added Chinese subplots and bent over backward to satisfy China’s watchful censors.
    But a perhaps tougher struggle confronts Chinese film executives who dream of making【C4】______that will be seen not just at home, but also by a measurable number of viewers in the United States and elsewhere.
    " We lack international experience, in general," said Yu Dong, the chief executive of China’s Bona Film Group, which is about 20 percent owned by 21st Century Fox.
    Mr. Yu, who spoke over coffee at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills this week,【C5】______(refer)to a growing group of film companies that are smaller than the giant state-owned China Film Group, but share ambitions to play on the world stage.
    " Every producer I’ve met has told me they want to reach the world audience," said Rob Cain, a film【C6】______(consult)who is working with Chinese companies that hope to crack the global market, despite robust growth at home.
    China’s domestic box office has recently tilted toward Chinese films rather than foreign imports. But the urge to export movies, Mr. Cain said, has much to do with the Chinese government’s promotion of what is often called "soft【C7】______"—the ability to project influence through nonmilitary means, including, of course, the film business.
    Styled the " Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis," Wanda’s proposed development is projected to cost as much as $8.2 billion, and would match or surpass the capacity of studios in the United States.
    But nothing would speak【C8】lou______than a globe-spanning hit. In the United States, the best-selling Chinese-language film to date remains Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which had a-bout $ 128 million in North American ticket sales after its【C9】rel______by Sony Pictures Classics in 2000. Since then, some international blockbusters have had Chinese backers, costars and settings, but they mostly have been Hollywood products with a Chinese veneer.
    In a next wave, China’s【C10】______(emerge)film companies are proposing to reverse the equation, by finding Chinese stories with global appeal and just enough American content or backing to attract viewers who have grown comfortable with Hollywood-style movies. [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 power
解析 (横线后面是对引号部分的解释说明，即利用非军事方式施加影响，所以此处填power。soft power表示“软实力”，它是一种“影响别人选择的能力，如有吸引力的文化、意识形态和制度”等。)
