My friend, why do some people think that Chinese martial arts movies have declined?
Chinese martial arts movies used to be a very popular genre, but in the past few years, some viewers and critics thought it had declined. The following are some possible reasons: 1. technological advancements: as film technology developed, audiences and critics began to pay more attention to the technology and visual effects of the film rather than the story and the performance of the actors. Wuxia movies often require superb special effects and martial arts design, but these technologies have been better developed in the digital film era, so the visual effects of Wuxia movies may not be as good as before. 2. Market changes: Wuxia movies used to be a very popular genre in the Chinese market, but in recent years, audiences have begun to pay more attention to other types of movies such as science fiction movies and action movies. Therefore, wuxia movies might not be as popular as they used to be. 3. Storylines and characters: Some viewers think that the storylines and characters of wuxia movies are not as attractive as those of other movies. In addition, the storyline and characters of martial arts movies were often more fixed and difficult to be updated, so they might not be as fresh as before. 4. lack of innovation: Some viewers and critics believe that wuxia movies in the past few years lack innovation and repeat old plots and characters, which is difficult to bring new surprises and appeal. It should be noted that the above are only some possible reasons and do not apply to all martial arts movies. Every movie has its own unique characteristics and historical background, so the reasons for its decline may be different.
