LOS ANGELES Paul George Olympics Jersey , July 12 (Xinhua) -- China has become one of the most important markets for the Walt Disney company, said Andy Bird, chairman of Walt Disney International, at a media event here Wednesday for the upcoming Disney fan event D23 Expo.
"China is incredibly important, where we have invested an enormous amount of time, people, resources and money, in growing our business over the last decades," said Bird.
"One of the interesting things is China also has interesting stories to tell," he added.
In 2016, Disney scored a third straight year of the most profitable studio in Hollywood with 2.5 billion U.S. dollars in profit. The studio grossed 7.6 billion dollars in the global box office last year, with over 4.6 billion dollars from the overseas market.
China, as the world's second-largest movie market, has made an impressive contribution over the years, with 74 Disney movies imported so far.
"Good stories are universal," Bird told Xinhua. Good story-telling has always been Disney's key to success, "whether it's Beauty and the Beast, Pirates of the Caribbean, or Star Wars, or Marvel's Avengers, they are movies and stories that are popular among consumers in China, in Brazil, in France, in Italy, all over the world."
According to Bird, not only will more Disney movies come to China, but also more cooperation between Disney and China is in the cards. Disney is conscious of relating to Chinese consumers, whether it is telling Chinese stories, using Chinese actors or filming in China.
"We have two of the stars in 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,' very big stars in China," Bird said, pointing out that "Rogue One" was one example of successful cooperation. "Now, we are doing the pre-production for a remake of Mulan, which gives an opportunity to have Chinese talents and also to use Chinese locations."
Outside of the movie market, Shanghai Disney Resort has already hit over 11 million admissions in its first year, which exceeded Disney's forecasts and expectation.
The 963-acre Resort is already expecting new attractions. Rather than plan on building another Disneyland in mainland China, Disney's first priority is to expand the Shanghai Disney Resort.
"We have enough land to dramatically expand Shanghai Disney Resort and add many new attractions, new lands," Bird said. "You will see those start to develop over time, starting with Toy Story Land which has been constructed as we speak."

PARIS, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Paris and Los Angeles, two candidate cities for the 2024 Olympic Games, on Friday expressed their welcome to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board's decision to announce the hosts for the 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games together.
The IOC Executive Board unanimously approved of the proposal for awarding two Olympic Games' hosting rights on one occasion in Lausanne, Switzerland, while it was upon consideration during an extraordinary session featuring IOC full members on July 11 and 12.
"Paris 2024 welcomes today's decision by the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee to review bidding processes and also organize an Extraordinary Session of the IOC in Lausanne in July," said the Paris bid committee in a statement. "We believe that the IOC is acting in the best interests of the Olympic Movement and the future of the Games in taking these steps."
"We welcome the IOC Executive Board's decision to recognize two excellent bids from two of the greatest cities," read a statement from Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti and LA 2024 chairman Casey Wasserman.
Despite the decision, both cities' only focus was put on their presentations to IOC members in July.
"Paris 2024 remains totally focused on preparing its presentation to the Lausanne meeting where we will have an opportunity to present to all the IOC Members our proposal for centenary Games of passion and purpose." the bid committee of the French capital said.
"We are proud to represent the City of Light and to promote a plan, in partnership with the IOC, all the key stakeholders and the people of Paris and France, that would deliver Games of wonderful celebration and genuine legacy.
"We continue to work hard to win the support of IOC Members and the broader sports family for a Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games based on that vision," it added.
"With no new permanent venues to build and unwavering public support, Los Angeles is an eternal Olympic city and ideal partner for the IOC. We look forward to sharing our unique story with the IOC membership in July and working together to offer the best path forward for our city and the Olympic Movement's future," Garcetti and Wasserman pointed out.
After the withdrawal of Rome, Hamburg, Boston and Budapest, the IOC, including the president Thomas Bach, thought it an ideal way to also take the 2028 Games into consideration and award two Games to two cities respectively, in an attempt to prevent produing "too many losers".
In May, an IOC delegation, led by the Evaluation Commission chairman Patrick Bauman, finished their inspection in both candidate cities, who have emphasized that their attention was only on the 2024 Games.
The host cities for the 2024 Olympic Games will be released at an IOC session in Lima, Peru on Sept. 13.
