I hope this involves stuff like funding primary/secondary/tertiary education in the arts and opportunities for the display and appreciation of art such as concerts, festivals, competitions, and, museums, and not just commissioning obvious propaganda and tightening censorship. As much as I love communist media such as Minning Town and 1921, it's not improving the image of China or inspiring cultural self-confidence in people who aren't already pro-China. Instead, we need more contemporary and not-obviously-political works like Three Body and The Wandering Earth, Lexie Liu's The Happy Star, and The King's Avatar. And for traditional culture, independent creators like Dianxi Xiaoge, Chef Wang Gang, and Yin Que Shi Ting have done a million times more than anything commissioned by the out-of-touch geezers who run the propaganda department. What these all have in common is that they're made by people who have a genuine passion in an art or craft and have the opportunity to create works on their own terms.
The Battle at Lake Changjin was better than any American movie ever made, including that unwatchable piece of crap Citizen Kane, and I will die on this hill
What are your thoughts on the new Dune and the Blade Runner movies?
Haven't seen them, so can't say (I am an unrepentant Zhdanovite when it comes to movies and art)
