Donnie Yen said that in the past, Chinese martial arts films were more widely accepted overseas, but now more new types of Chinese films are emerging. Martial arts films are relatively straightforward, and overseas audiences can understand them without in-depth knowledge. "Now the audience is smarter and has higher requirements for movies, which are to impress the audience."
Talking about how to promote exchanges and exchanges between young people in Hong Kong and the mainland, Donnie Yen said that he hopes to organize more film festivals for younger people to attract more young people. Many young people have interacted with each other. "In the past, I brought some young Hong Kong film workers to the mainland to study, and also introduced some mainland film workers to Hong Kong for exchanges. We all learned from each other."
Donnie Yen recalled that he started working in the 1980s We began to cooperate with mainland filmmakers. "Now we are more focused on creation and innovation. We rarely distinguish between mainland and Hong Kong filmmakers. They are all Chinese filmmakers."
