The film, which should be released by next year, will feature Chinese and Nigerian actors.

30 Days in China combines the world’s second largest film market (China) with the growing international ambitions of Nollywood, Nigeria’s movie business.

Although the industry has long been well known for its productions, Nigerian filmmakers are rewriting this scenario. Budgets and production values are rising, and the number of films released in theaters also increased.

There were more than 80 Nigerian films scheduled for the big screen last year.
