The difference between Bollywood and Hollywood

The difference between Bollywood and Hollywood is that:

1, Hollywood usually refers to the American film industry, and Bollywood refers to the film industry base in Mumbai, India.

Hollywood itself is the place name of Los Angeles, California, and Bollywood is not the place name of any place.

Introduction to Bollywood and Hollywood:

Hollywood 1

Hollywood, also known as Hollywood, is located in the suburb of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery here is pleasant. It was first discovered by photographers looking for location, and attracted many photographers around the beginning of the 20th century.

Then, some small companies and independent filmmakers came in to escape the control of patent companies, and gradually formed a film center. Hollywood film city formed and rose rapidly, and the film industry just adapted to the needs of the rapid economic development in the United States during this period.

Movies have also been further incorporated into the economic mechanism and become a part of profit. The abundant capital and the increase of film production ensure the dumping of American film market in the world. The small village on the outskirts of Los Angeles has finally become a huge movie city, and Hollywood has virtually become synonymous with American movies.

2. Bollywood

It is the abbreviation of Bollywood Studio, located in Mumbai, India, representing a part of the Indian film industry. Bollywood is one of the largest film production bases in the world.

Indians changed the letter "H" at the beginning of "Hollywood" to the prefix "B" in Mumbai, the domestic film capital, thus turning "Hollywood" into "Bollywood".
