Cinema goers in China are now subject to watching a three-and-a-half minute long Pro-China video before watching the film they were intending to see.
From now up until the 19th National People's Congress later this autumn, people will sit through the video aiming to promote national unity and 'the Chinese dream'.
The video has had a mixed response with claims that some movie-goers have been avoiding going into the screening before the advert comes on.
The three-minute video was produced by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT).
It will be shown from now up until the 19th People's Congress this coming autumn. During the People's Congress, President Xi will start his second five-year term as President.
According to state-media, the video aims to help people better understand party policies.
It includes famous Chinese actors such as Jackie Chan, Angelababy and recent Rogue One and IP man actor Donnie Yen.
Jackie Chan tells the audience: "The country is good, the people are good, everyone will be good. Everyone fight for the Chinese dream, only then can you get the dream to come true. The power of the Chinese dream."
The video starts out with patriotic music before saying: 'The Chinese dream is an international dream, people's dream, everyone's dream.'
Chinese actress Li Bingbing can be heard saying: "No matter what you do, as long as you respect the country, our society, our nation and our family, you are helping us to realise the Chinese dream."
A cinema employee in Beijing stated: "Many came late for the movie just to avoid the short video and others complained about the video after watching the movie."
Many people have commented on the video on Chinese site Weibo. One user said: "We must work hard together to create the Chinese dream!" While another wrote: "The Chinese dream is the dream of every Chinese person and we should encourage it."

Chinese Policeman Can Speak English, Fines Foreigner
A video featuring a traffic policeman from Xi’an, China has just taken Chinese netizens by storm. To see the video, continue reading below.
Chinese social media platforms Weibo and Miaopai are abuzz.
In just four days, it has topped the “Popular” charts on both platforms with a combined total of more than 1.3 million plays, 51,000 likes and 3,000 comments as of today.
The video went viral due to the traffic policeman’s commendable use of English to charge a foreigner for driving a motorbike without a license.
According to Chinese news sources, the policeman once worked in Singapore before, which explains the influence of his accent.
Although the video doesn’t feature any of our well-loved “lah”, “leh”, “lor” words, his accent is distinctly similar to our Singaporean accent.
