I really want to watch that movie too. It was suppose to come out during the national holidays, but recently heard it got postponed until further notice as well. Between this and Born to Fly, I wonder what's going on behind the scenes...
Chinese film, television, music
- Thread starter ABC78
- Start date
Some people satirize the current situation: Those directors will be enthusiastic to shoot films that praise KMT, but they are extremely perfunctory about the official propaganda task.
Some people believe that it is meaningless to continue to be strict in the review system, because these strict measures will inevitably first strike at the weak groups lacking political background.
In this way, the censorship system has become a tool for those forces with political background but with bad intentions to exclude others.
Every time the government launches the "cultural purification campaign", the primary target of attack is ACG fans who lack protest means.
One additional point: Charles IX, a popular children's literature in China, was once involved in serious disputes.
Parents protested that there was too much "horrible and bloody" content in this novel, but the author of this book claimed that the so-called "parents' protest" did not exist, just because the press had mastered the tools of public opinion and could fabricate false public opinion to attack competitors.

Just wanted to continue the genshin discussion here since I do think it's OT in the breaking news thread, but I have to say, @ficker22 that was a good point you brought up. I never did think about how it could help 2nd and 3rd gen diaspora get more acquainted with china since I'm 1st gen myself. Now I don't care about Japanese influence in Chinese media, let's be honest it's pretty much in everything now, my problem with genshin was really just the way they marketed things, really trying to sell the game as an authentic Japanese game, from how they promoted VA work to the game's name itself. So to me it just seems like it's benefitting Japan more than China. But maybe this isn't a problem in the long term? What do you guys think?
Mihoyo has a thing to japanize things for marketing purposes, Honkai Impact could also be Benhuai Impact and Genshin could be Yuanshen, so there is that.
Luckily regarding the story and setting itself, I think Mihoyo has learned that the Chinese market does appreciate traditional chinese represenation in their games, for example in Honkai they got more chinese story elements in recent times, and more chinese character like Li Sushang are appearing.
In genshin to we got a Liyue/China focused arc in june with version 2.7, even though the liyue arc is completed, main story wise. At this arc was quality wise a cut above anything else mihoyo delivered thusfar.
I do not know if Mihoyo planned this rapprochement to "Chinese" elemtns in game after analysing the market or if they planned in from the beginning.
Their other two flagship games which wi come out 2023-2024 are distinctively universal with no real national setting or such. Even honkai is kina international although hevily japanese leaning.
Anyone here got a chance to watch this?
