      ab: Hollywood film reception has been a crucial method for understanding the formation of film culture and vernacular modernity in Republican China. However, a closer examination of the print media engaging Hollywood fandom deserves deeper consideration. This article tracks the development of major Hollywood movie magazines in China during the 1930s and 1940s, scrutinizing the interactive participation of Chinese movie fans and revealing the anxious ambivalence within audiences' love for Hollywood films. On the one hand, interactive fandom constructs an imaginary emotional intimacy; while on the other, that very sense of intimacy reflects the cultural and political barriers between common Chinese audiences and their fantasized Hollywood dreams. Given the limited discussion of early movie magazines and fan culture compared to contemporary fandom in digital media, it is imperative to investigate the global Hollywood reception history of materials often overlooked in Chinese movie periodicals. The Hollywood interactive fandom in China reflects the visual cultural tradition and power structure in the cultural industry, contributing to the interdisciplinary fields of Hollywood stardom, fandom, and early movie magazines in Chinese film history.
