为了赢得中国13.4亿消费者的芳心，各大公司迭出奇招，比如提供客户定制的汽车或服装系列。为了迎合中国消费者的味蕾，有些公司还推出了酸汤鱼口味的薯片，还有抹茶口味的奥利奥。
如今，一家公司正在致力于打造一系列特别的中国概念超级英雄。
中国传媒行业企业家吴征的电影公司七星娱乐集团(Seven Stars Entertainment)正计划与Arad Productions联合打造一家合资公司。合资公司的一项声明称，该公司将以中国文化为基础，推出一系列表现英雄人物的电影和动画电视剧佳作，以及其 他零售产品。掌舵Arad Productions的是Marvel Studios的创始人阿拉德(Avi Arad)。
声明说，合资公司准备推出的第一部影片是《兵马俑的崛起》。这部电影讲述的是讲述名为“风、火、雷、电”的兵马俑成为正义化身的故事。兵马俑是秦始皇埋在地下的殉葬陶俑，用来护卫死后的自己。
阿拉德和吴征携手合作是为了把吴征的资金和阿拉德的电影制作经验结合在一起，利用中国对电影越来越大的需求，特别是讲述超级英雄故事的大制作动作电影。根据中国国家广电总局的数据，2011年，中国的电影票房收入跃升至21亿美元，同比增加了29%，
中国今年的票房增长主要是由动作影片带动的，如华纳兄弟(Warner Bros.)的《蝙蝠侠前传3：黑暗骑士崛起》(The Dark Knight Rises)和索尼影业(Sony Pictures)的《超凡蜘蛛侠》(The Amazing Spider-Man)。电影票房网站Box Office Mojo的数据显示，《黑暗骑士崛起》在中国斩获了5,300万美元的票房，而《超凡蜘蛛侠》则在中国吸金4,880万美元。
另外还有一些中国企业准备一试身手，在中国推出国产超级英雄影片，而且这些超级英雄不一定 非要是中国人。中国电影公司DMG娱乐传媒集团(DMG Entertainment)正在与华特-迪士尼公司(Walt Disney Co.)旗下的Marvel Studios合作拍摄《钢铁侠3》(Iron Man 3)。根据电影市场研究公司艺恩咨询(EntGroup)的数据，第一部和第二部“钢铁侠”电影总共在中国获得了人民币2.71亿元（约4,300万美 元）的票房。
吴征正斥重资押注中国的电影行业。吴征一直在努力打造“中国坞”(Chinawood)，这是位于天津滨海新区的一个影视服务总部基地，七星娱乐和天津市政府在这个项目上一共投资了逾10亿美元。

今年早些时候还与中国的嘉实另类投资集团(Harvest Alternative Investment)共同推出了一只8亿美元的私募基金，为受中国和亚洲市场欢迎的大型电影制作项目提供融资。
阿拉德在“X战警”、“蜘蛛侠”、“神奇四侠”和“绿巨人”等系列电影当中所起到的作用被受到了广泛赞誉。2006年，他成立了自己的制片公司，之前他曾任Marvel Studios的首席执行长。

consumers, companies have rolled out custom-made cars and clothing
lines. They've launched hot and spicy sour-fish soup potato chips and
green tea Oreos to suit their palates.
Now one is creating a special line of Chinese-inspired superheroes.
Chinese entrepreneur Bruno Wu's film company, Seven Stars Entertainment, is launching a joint venture with Arad Productions, led by Marvel Studios founder Avi Arad, to develop a franchise of blockbuster films, animated television series and retail products that feature heroes based on Chinese culture, according to a statement from the companies.
First in the joint venture's pipeline is 'Rise of the Terracotta,' according to the statement. The film is based on the country's own army of underground terracotta soldiers, who were buried underground to protect emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife.
The Arad-Wu tie up, which aims to pair Mr. Wu's funding with Mr. Arad's production experience, is an attempt to tap into China's growing appetite for films and in particular big-budget action films that feature dynamic superheroes. China's box office sales jumped to $2.1 billion in 2011, up 29% from a year earlier, according to the State Administration of Film, Radio and Television.
Much of the country's box office growth this year has been propelled by action films such as Warner Bros.' latest Batman chapter, 'The Dark Knight Rises,' which earned $53 million at Chinese box offices, and Sony Pictures' 'The Amazing Spider-Man,' which saw box office sales of $48.8 million in China, according to box office database Box Office Mojo.
Other Chinese companies are testing the waters for homegrown superhero films, though not necessarily Chinese heroes. China's DMG Entertainment is in the midst of filming 'Iron Man 3∪ with Walt Disney Co s Marvel Studios. The first and second 'Iron Man' movies combined took in more than 271 million yuan (about $43 million) at Chinese box offices, according to film research company EntGroup.
Mr. Wu is betting big on China's film industry. He has been building up Chinawood, a media complex outside of China's northeastern city of Tianjin in which Seven Stars and Tianjin's government have invested more than a $1 billion.
Mr. Wu's investment firm, Sun Redrock Investment Group, also co-launched earlier this year with China's Harvest Alternative Investment an $800 million private equity fund to fund big studio projects that appeal to China and a wider Asian market.
Mr. Arad has been credited for his role in building up franchises such as the 'X-Men' and 'Spider-Man,' 'Fantastic Four' and 'The Incredible Hulk.' He founded his own production company in 2006, after having served as chief executive of comic film house Marvel Studios.
