The gaming-to-social media giant has acquired an undisclosed minority stake in Skydance, the companies said in a joint statement released on Friday. The Wall Street Journal cited an unnamed source that the Chinese firm would hold a little less than 10 percent of the United States production studio. Tencent did not confirm this when contacted by China Daily.

Under the agreement, Tencent can co-finance Skydance movies, as well as handle marketing, distribution and merchandising in China. Other initiatives, including partnerships on television and virtual reality, are also in the works.

With Beijing pushing along with the Belt and Road Initiative, ties between the Chinese film industry and Hollywood are now taking the form of using Hollywood’s expertise via collaboration in making Chinese blockbuster action films for the local market, said Stanley Rosen, a professor specializing in Chinese affairs at the University of Southern California.
