BTW I liked this chinese movie - Monster Hunt

Good one, suggest something like that.

If you like creatures and fantasy, try this one, "A Writer's Odyssey"

A bit darker than Monster Hunt but very innovative and packed with action!

Sorry to say this but Chinese movies and dramas are not my cup of tea.

Watched a drama, it was definitely funny but heavily female centric.
From what I understand, Chinese dramas have Female Leads but really no male leads.

there are biological men in the drama but they look so feminine and behave like Eunuchs, you have to suspend your belief to look at them as men.
There would multiple men vying for the female lead, who would be having lot of romantic moments with multiple men in the drama. The pretty men though would be only looking at the female lead as if no other girls exist in China.
Worst is the Female lead would be romantically involved with the main man of the drama, his brother, his cousin, his uncle, his best friend and few other men.
No matter how many men the girl is with, the main man would cuckold and simp the female lead.

Looking at the drama, I understood why the Community part took a stance on sissy men.
In all these dramas, all you find is Sissy Chinese men who would be licking the boots of the female lead, who in turn would be shagging multiple men, including brothers, uncles, cousins etc etc...

Without China (and Japan to a small extent) the global movie industry would be completely dominated by Hollywood.
Hollywood is absent in india , Pakistan , Nepal , Bangladesh
South Asia is entirely dominated by indian film industry
But unfortunately that market is so small that Hollywood doesn't really bother trying. There is no Indian film even in the top 20 non-English box office grosses. If you include all films, Hollywood plus world, there are no Indian films in the top 200 (even China only has 9.)


So dominating South Asia provides the Indian industry with very little income compared to other places.
Lol. The records literally show only 3 Japanese films to 15 Chinese ones in top grossing non-English titles.

China limits Hollywood or India limits Hollywood? China generates between 10 to 20 times more revenue per Hollywood blockbusters than India :)

And there are hardly 30 major Hollywood blockbusters in any given year ;)

Avengers: Endgame

Grosses:
China -- $629,100,298
India -- $62,678,476

King Kong vs Godzilla

Grosses:
China -- $188,700,000
India -- $8,900,000
Hollywood and Chinese film industry are bigger mostly in monetary terms since cost of films and tickets is multiple times of any Indian movie which rather compete in regional viewership. So, it's nonsensical to talk about revenue or box office while comparing film industries.

Chinese, Japanese and Koreans film have their diaspora and selected community in west their viewers. Selected ones from west have appeal all over the world.

Indian film industry have absolute dominance in internal market as well as rest of South Asia with strong appeal in Russia and middle-east. Fans of Indian stars and music aren't uncommon in those countries. In fact, just like anti-K-pop movements ongoing in China & Japan, South Asian countries are mired with boycott Indian movies/dramas campaigns to preserve their "culture".

Especially Pak and Bangladesh where people have literally changed their religious rituals like of marriages into Hindu rituals, just watching Indian movies. It's Indian film industry which made general culture of South Asia Hinduistic in nature regardless of Hindu/Budhhist/Islamic majority nationstate.
