In my general area, I want to focus on how China and other countries will perform the comedy, the reason I wish to research is that China became a significant market for the film, and there are many Hollywood comedies come to China every year. In another aspect, more and more American audience like watching Chinese comedy.

Methodology

(This is NOT just the research methods you will use but the more abstract research theory)

·      Outline the research, creative and intellectual methods you will employ to develop your research project.

·      Firstly, researching situation structure, thinking about the Chinese director and American director how to perform in the comedy. Selecting some research subjects, I stat that the research subjects is paramount， because they will give me much valuable information.

·       

·      Secondly, I use Quantitative research method， because the quantitative data can reflect the different points of chinese comedy and American comedy. Also, there are many kinds of comedy in China, so, research some professional artifact can help me to collect some specific data. 

·       

·      Thirdly, the research method includes case study and interview. For popular comedy, I choice interview some subject, I will produce 5-point Likett Scale question.  The 5-point is 5: strongly agree; 4; agree; 3: neutral; 2: disagree; 1: strongly disagree. The subject needs to select that point he think is correct.  I collect the point to analyze. In other aspects, for some specific comedy, I will do the case study because it can help me secure to analyze it.
