It’s difficult. Foreigners don’t know much about Chinese culture after all.

The output of movies is also the output of culture. Chinese people who have gone to school all know the history of ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and ancient Rome. I also read and listened to some works by Hemingway, Shakespeare, Hugo, etc. They are even proud to have read the works of those foreign literary giants. The elites always talk about famous quotes by so and so.

What about abroad? How many ordinary foreigners know the history of China? How many people know what Confucius said? How many of them have read the Four Great Classics? As long as the voice of English-speaking countries remains strong in the world, it will be impossible for foreigners to understand Chinese culture. Therefore, apart from watching Chinese movies, what else can they know about them?

At least in the past, domestic animation almost never won overseas box office success. According to Box Office Mojo's statistics, the overseas box office of "The Return of the Monkey King" is only US$240,000, and there are no US box office statistics. The overseas box office of "Big Fish and Begonia" is only 534,000, and there is no US box office statistics.

This means that "Nezha" has no pressure to win the first overseas box office of domestic animation in ten years. The film was released in Australia for 6 days and the box office in the first week of overseas release was US$438,000. It also landed in New Zealand on August 29, and in the United Kingdom and Ireland on August 30.

Of course, what many netizens are most concerned about is the North American box office.

Since "Mermaid" received a box office of US$3.23 million in North America in 2016, no domestic film has ever exceeded US$2 million in North American box office, until this year's Spring Festival winner "The Wandering Earth" , which received a box office of US$5.87 million after being released in North America. This is also the best box office achieved by a Chinese-language film in North America in the past ten years.

I don’t know if it’s because China can’t produce any good movies, or something else. Chinese people seem to prefer watching overseas movies and strongly support overseas movies. It’s not that overseas movies are bad, but more I hope you will pay attention to domestic movies. China accounts for a quarter of the world's population, and foreign movies are all about the Chinese market. Why care about others, just do your own thing.
