It wouldn't surprise me if this was way past the point of the Chinese film industry thriving, but that the West just hasn't gotten to see the gold it has produced and can produce just yet. It really wouldn't surprise me if China has made many Pixar-level or Oscar-level films, or shows and books for that matter, and we just haven't gotten to properly see them, since they were never officially dubbed and released outside of China, and it takes quite a lot for the noise to make it outside of China, and China's just been assuming that the world just wasn't that interested in Chinese culture (and were probably proven right by western media never really talking about it; when was the last time you heard about any Chinese film/book/tv show other than this one?), and just didn't bother to even try that much to get it out there. But now that it's out there, and people think it's good, we're probably going to get a lot more of it. Even if most of it's just mediocre, it'll be, if not better than, at least different from the Hollywood stagnation.
