How do Chinese films stand out in the western film and television industry?

Huayi film's struggle in Hollywood is not smooth sailing, but bumpy. Americans have always been malicious and discriminated against other races. Asians who appeared in American movies earlier are villains with sharp eyes and thin moustaches.

Although over time, Americans' cognition of Asian immigrants has changed. But it just evolved into a hard-working role and a supporting role, lacking inner charm.

White Americans are afraid that their social status will be replaced by other races, and they still have such fears until now.

In the 20th century, the Hollywood martial arts film enter the dragon starring Bruce Lee set off a kung fu craze. Unfortunately, Bruce Lee died before the film was released. It could have brought more performance opportunities to Chinese people, and such opportunities also drifted away with the wind.

Then the Joy Luck Club, directed by Wang Ying, was a commercial success. But at that time, the voice of China people was not as easy to spread as it is today, and it didn't get a good publicity effect without the help of the Internet.

Then 1998 Mulan cartoon. This animation did not receive the expected effect, which led to Hollywood's investment in Huayi movies falling into a downturn again.

With the appearance of Chinese directors such as Ang Lee and James Wan in Hollywood and the changes in the film industry, Crazy Asian Rich has achieved good results and set off an Asian wave.

Thank god, farewell to the release. As a Chinese American, many actors, directors and even audiences have exerted great influence and communication power under the impetus of the Internet.

The difference between Chinese-American films and European and American films is that foreign films pay more attention to individual heroism, while Chinese-American films need not only superheroes, but also the stories of ordinary people and their mental journey, complex human nature, diverse cultures and so on.

In recent years, in the international film circle, excellent family works made in Asia have shined brilliantly at Cannes Film Festival, such as Zhi's The Thief Family and the recent award-winning Korean director Feng Junhao's Parasite.

Therefore, China films can shine brilliantly in the western film and television industry, but it will take some time.
