Set in the segregated America of the 1960s,  Green Book  explores the theme of racism and discrimination through the concert tour of a Jamaican American pianist. When the film was introduced to China, it underwent significant cultural mediation and adaptation. On Sina Weibo, one of China’s largest social media platforms,  Green Book ’s Chinese marketing team posted film descriptions, highlights, flyers and posters to attract a potential audience. Through an analysis of these media paratexts, this article explores how the narrative in the original film was localized by the corporate sector when translated into a Chinese context. In multiple and intricate ways, the industry-created paratexts of  Green Book  reveal how a media product interacts with the target culture during its localization process. These interactions are interpreted in relation to China’s current sociocultural context to uncover the dynamics and complexities of the cultural mediation of media.
