“Things used to be moving in the direction of big budget blockbusters, but the financing that’s leftover these days is more rational. People will be more drawn to projects where the investment requirements aren’t perhaps so high, but the returns are nonetheless stable.”

“I don’t think romantic films have been well executed enough in the Chinese market. It’s not that there’s not enough of an audience for this type of film, it’s that there are very few works that are down-to-earth, where the story feels very real and relatable,” she said. “It’s an area we can really develop and improve.”

Many women can choose to enter this profession, and we shouldn’t discriminate against them. If many women don’t wish to enter this profession, we have no need to push them and say they must.”
