If you don't know any Mongol nationalists just don't make up stuff, last time I checked the pilot of China Eastern Airlines Flight 5735 didn't live in a yurt.
Chinese film, television, music

Why do I need to know any Mongol nationalists? Did you grow up in Beijing? How many GenX Beijing 大院子弟 do you know? I did and I deal with those people on a daily basis. Nothing Wuershan has done or said is out of norm for people of his age, his childhood and his education background. There is no reason to bring in Mongol nationalism as an explanation.
By your logic next time some Chinese American researcher does normal researcher thing and gets accused of being a spy, their colleagues better stay quiet unless they know some real Chinese spies.
And what did MU5735 have to do with Mongol nationalism? Please stay away from conspiracy theories.

So are you a director also? Do you direct films? If not what give you the right to say what he did is normal director thing and not promoting mongol nationalism agenda? In your example, you are literally a random bystander shouting that Chinese researcher is not a spy.
"Conspiracy theories" lmao, why do you think we never heard back from the investigations of the crash? Regardless, I was implying the pilot was a mongol nationalist, which has plenty of evidence from his social media. I'm not speculating on why he crashed the plane.

There's no point in continuing this conversation if you believe the conclusion to draw from the absence of a definitive report (there were interim reports) on MU5735 is the pilot was a Mongol nationalist.
I'm not the one that has to do mental gymnastics on why the Chinese government doesn't release a definitive report on the third deadliest aviation accident in China after almost three years, especially one that crashed in such an unbelievable manner. You can keep on waiting for the final report, whatever makes you feel safe flying in China.
Nezha 2's box office predictions keep going up and up, and now Maoyan has it at potentially 1.6 billion dollars. With those kinds of numbers the Chinese movie industry could care less about Hollywood nowadays, its also a sign that Chinese audiences are no different from anywhere else in the world. The formula's really simple, make good movies and people will show up.
Idols alone won't guarantee box office success, evidenced by the failure of the Condor Heroes adaptation starring Xiao Zhan. Nor do Chinese audiences just knee jerk show up for patriotic war movies anymore, since Operation Red Sea's sequel bombed this time around. Chinese filmmakers now know, yes we unequivocally now have the world's biggest market and it'll only keep getting bigger, but we actually have to work in order to get people into theaters.
Nezha 2 is certainly getting headlines being the first film to make 1 billion dollars in a single market, I don't know if that'll be enough to get people around the world interested in the movie. But it seems Chinese cinema may soon have its Genshin and Wukong moment, and I'm all for it.
Now if only Cdramas can cut it out with the Xianxia nonsense and make more Longest Day in Chang'an quality dramas, but with lean runtimes of 15-20 episodes. One can dream.

Chinese dramas on Southeast Asia’s video-on-demand platforms are outperforming US content and ranked second in terms of viewer numbers in the first half, according to digital measurement platform AMPD, Hou Xiaonan, CEO of Tencent’s culture and entertainment group Yuewen. On freemium platforms, they made up 40% of views, surpassing Korean dramas...
Sometimes, YouTube really does recommend gold out of nowhere. Never heard of this nor saw anything about it, just randomly recommended it to me on a meme video of of all places. This might just take my place as my number 1 donghua. It's amazing.

Its so sad that such a huge movie is going to get relegated to just the Chinese market. It should have had international marketing and day 1 dubbing into foreign languages. Then it had the potential to reach a huge global audience. But now its international release will most likely be just a few Chinese diaspora watching it.
Nah. People all around the world watch good movie irrespective of nation of origin. I myself is going to watch. Will post about how many audience will show up in feb 14 release date.
