Cash-rich Alibaba Pictures Group Ltd made its first major move into Hollywood by investing in the next Mission: Impossible movie.


The film division of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd has agreed to a deal with California-based Paramount Pictures to promote the Hollywood blockbuster in China Cameron Maybin Jersey , it said in a statement on Wednesday.


The Hong Kong-listed Alibaba Pictures will team up with Paramount in online ticketing, promotions and merchandising for Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation in China.


No financial figures about the deal were released.


"Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation is our first step toward internationalization and Alibaba Pictures looks forward to collaborating with more international movie studios," Zhang Qiang, CEO of Alibaba Pictures, said in a statement.


The film stars Tom Cruise and is due in theaters on July 31. One of Paramount's big box-office earners, the previous four films in the franchise grossed $2 billion worldwide.


Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation is expected to be another smash hit for Paramount and at the same time increase the presence of Alibaba Pictures on the global stage.


Set up last year to tap into the digital entertainment industry, Alibaba Pictures has a team in California to look for investment and partnership opportunities.


This deal with Paramount is the latest move to cash in on China's movie boom, according to Huang Guofeng, an analyst at Internet consultancy Analysys International.


Teaming up with Hollywood movie studios is important for Chinese companies as they expand into the country's booming digital entertainment industry.


"Hollywood movies often get higher returns in China compared with domestic movies," Huang said. "By teaming up with Hollywood partners, Alibaba Pictures can be a key player in the future when China increases its quota on foreign movie imports."


China's quota system restricts foreign film imports to 34 a year. But the number is likely to increase further in 2017, according to industry insiders, when a new quota system is brought in.


Many of China's traditional filmmakers, such as Huayi Brothers Media Group and Bona Film Group, have been riding the going global wave. But this has not stopped China's powerful Internet companies from flexing their muscles in the film industry.


Huang said Alibaba Pictures may lack experience in making movies, but its online platforms can be used to promote and sell tickets online.


"Plus, it has enough cash to invest and buy new titles because it has a very rich parent company, which raised $25 billion in the world's largest initial public offering last year," he said. "Whatever it lacks, it can go out and buy."


We live in a society that credit is very normal. The truth is that it sometimes appears strange to pay for some items with cash. Since we use credit card for almost everything, wouldn’t it be better for us to use the ones that we can get rewards from? One of such card is the airline miles credit card. To enjoy your airline miles credit card maximally, let us see some things we can do to help us enhance our gain from it.


First and foremost, you have to know that how you begin to use your airline miles credit card is very important. From the moment we start choosing which card company to signup with, we are setting up ourselves to either enjoy the use of the card or regret the same.


There is a need for a careful examination of the choices before you before signing up with any. Because there are a lot of companies offering these cards, there is the high possibility of one being confused as to what choice to make. I want to therefore show you some things that you need to put into consideration in making your decision.


Fore mostly, be very conscious of your spending habit as this is a determining factor of the type of card you should have. If you are checking out cards in line with your spending habit, you would be considering the interest rates and the yearly fees. Ensure that the interest rate is well within your financial limit and would not be burdensome for you. Annual fees can be cumbersome for some people. If you are one such person, then simply look for a card with a very low annual fee or in fact one with none at all. if you look very thoroughly, you will find such cards.


If you are one who travels very frequently, you may discover that with the wrong card you cannot use your accumulated airline miles for the flights that you need. If you are one who has to fly to some particular places at a specific time or date, it would be better for you to select a card with a program that is flexible and allows you to choose flights at your convenience. The possibility of having the option of making flight choices may be absent if you get your card from a particular airline. It is better for you to get your card from a bank. With a specific airline, you may only be able to redeem your airline miles with them and they may not have flights to the destination you want to fly to or for the date you want . But if you choose a bank card, there would be more than one airline on the network and you would find one that would fit your flight schedule.


Be conscious of the rewards that you can get from the use of a card before you sign on with any company. Some cards have more convenient ways of getting rewards than others. Also important is the ease with which you can redeem those rewards. These two points are very important. With some cards, cashing into your bonuses is very difficult but with some others it is very simple and they even offer you alternatives apart from air fare; these may include other travel expenses like hotel bills, car rentals and such things.


The usage and organization of your card is very essential. It is very important to mind the usage of your card just as you would mind the use of other types of credit cards. It would be simple foolishness.
