Why did Jason Wu and some non-professional directors get better box office results than Xiaogang Feng, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou in recent years?

First of all, these fifth-generation directors in China are no longer young. They all have their own glorious times, and the films they directed are deeply branded with the times. Lao Mouzi's original rural and urban themes catered to the audience in the 1990s, and China people who recovered from the pain found their simple and heavy inner spirit in Zhang Yimou's films.

Created a unique "Feng's comedy", which made countless people laugh and feel Chinese humor. These directors dominated the film market in 1990s and the beginning of the new century, guided the development of China films and catered to the audience with the symbols of the times.

As these great directors are no longer young, it may be difficult for them to keep up with the young audience. In the past, those yellow lands have become the urban-rural fringe, and martial arts themes are no longer popular, and slow humor is not as good as the new online jokes. That's why Xiaogang Feng embarrassedly called it a "garbage spectator".

Secondly, Jason Wu and Xu zhēng, non-professional directors, can succeed in the current box office market because they are closer to the times and have a unique vision. They have created a new film market in China. For example, "Dying for Survival", which has a double harvest at the box office, dares to directly attack the pain points of society and pays attention to the people's livelihood at the bottom, has positive practical significance and promotes the popularization of anticancer drugs in China.

In addition, Jason Wu's "Wolf Warriors" series can be said to be the pioneers of the theme of domestic military war. The grand war scenes are comparable to Hollywood blockbusters, and the theme full of patriotic feelings caters to the mentality of the rise of a great country. More importantly, Jason Wu's investment and participation in The Wandering Earth has become a milestone in China's sci-fi movies.
