B

Hollywood is a neighbourhood in Los Angeles，California. It used to be the historical centre of movie studios and movie stars. And the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonymy(转喻)of American cinema, But these are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas.

Hollywood is facing big challenges! The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers will go out to see the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. Older people mostly stay at home to watch drama series，like Dynasty. These "soap operas"，as they are called，show rich，powerful families living in beautiful houses and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and the actresses are nearly middle-aged.

Though soap operas keep the movie-makers of Hollywood in business，big movies are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new centre, and there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. They use modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
