Abstract Social network analysis has been used to analyze the collaborative network of Chinese film directors and actors for the past decade. We apply two-mode network analysis method to collaboration data of movie directors and actors and compared collaborative relationship between directors and actors in Hong Kong and Mainland China, as well as its changing. Some group characteristics are revealed from our data. The main findings of this paper are: (1) there exists significant difference in the structure of collaborative network between Hong Kong and Mainland China. HK directors are more likely to cooperate with the same actors repeatedly than mainland directors. HK directors show a trend of more and more cooperation with mainland actors in the past decade. (2) The collaborative network of directors and actors is very sparse, with density of only 0.026. Component analysis shows that HK directors and actors are at the core in the network while the mainland directors and actors are at the periphery in the network. (3) Block analysis shows that there indeed exists “fractions” in this network, that is directors and actors who are in the same area are more likely to cooperate with each other.
