Plot: Last year, as COVID-19 cases spiked around the world, many thought cinemas would die. China's box office sales from the past few months tell a different story. The country's film market broke several world records in 2021, selling roughly $1.2 billion in tickets. Although theaters in the U.S., which are the primary competitors of theaters in China, have been closed, more and more Chinese people continue to head to the movies. One of the secret weapons is the production of a "Chinese New Year film" for the whole family. Where do those films come from, and what is their winning recipe?
