The point is, it's all either WW2 films, period dramas, or rom-keys. Why? Because these are safe subjects that steer clear of the government censors. Why are there no films telling realistic everyday Chinese stories in modern China, like the person got who out of college and can't find a job, or the elderly person with no children who is having a hard time? There are 8 million of these kinds of stories. But no, it's mostly Hanfu and Wire-fu dramas, or slicing and dicing Japanese soldiers, or basically office rom-com drama. It does seem like there's something going on that is limiting the creativity and range of artistic expression in terms of subject matter.
