Released in China on July 16, Successor – directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo – stars Chinese actor Shen Teng and actress Ma Li as a wealthy couple who design a life of poverty in an attempt to toughen their son up. “China learnt all they could from Hollywood,” CNBC quoted Dr Stanley Rosen, a professor of political science and international relations at the University of Southern California, as saying. “Now, they make their own big-budget blockbuster films with good special effects, and even good animated films... They don’t need Hollywood any more.”“The Chinese audience, mostly young people, want stories ... films that relate to things happening in China in one way or another,” said Dr Rosen.
The CNBC report said that in addition to films that are culturally relevant and relatable to the Chinese market, nationalistic and patriotic movies have also become increasingly popular, referring to films such as Wolf Warrior 2 and The Battle At Lake Changjin .
