Chinese New Year Film Season: China's Super Bowl
The Spring Festival film season is the biggest film season of the year in China, bar none. In 2024, the total box office revenue for the Spring Festival film season exceeded 8 billion RMB, with over 160 million moviegoers. What does this figure mean? It means that on average, one in nine people in China went to the cinema during the Spring Festival.
The characteristics of films released during the Spring Festival areFamily Fun—Big-budget productions suitable for the whole family. These typically fall into the following categories:
- A visually stunning blockbuster. Investiture of the GodsseriesLarge-scale industrial productions like the "Wandering Earth" series offer a immersive big-screen experience.
- Comedy film. Works by comedians like Shen Teng, Jia Ling, and Huang Bo are perfect for bringing joy during the Chinese New Year.
- cartoon. The "Boonie Bears" series is a regular during the Spring Festival season. On the surface, it's meant for children, but it actually makes adults cry buckets.

Even our esteemed VIP members were undone by "regional restrictions."
No matter how high your membership level is, if your IP address is overseas, the moment you click the play button, that familiar, cold message will most likely appear on the screen:
"Due to copyright restrictions, this video cannot be viewed in your region." This isn't just about not being able to watch the movie; it's a deep sense of alienation. You want to participate in discussions, to understand the jokes everyone's posting, but you find you don't even have a ticket to join. Some overseas Chinese tried to find pirated resources, only to discover that the picture quality was blurry, and some even contained advertisements for Macau casinos, completely ruining their viewing experience.

More than just the Spring Festival season: a solution for binge-watching TV series all year round
The Spring Festival film season is just a microcosm. For overseas Chinese, whether it's watching domestic dramas, variety shows, or popular movies, they face the same problem throughout the year:
- Popular TV dramas are not keeping up with the pace. Phenomenal hits like "The Storm," "Blossoms Shanghai," and "Joy of Life 2" drew massive audiences in China when they aired, leaving overseas viewers frustrated. By the time you could actually watch them, the hype had died down, and discussions had ceased.
- Variety shows cannot be synchronized. The appeal of variety shows like "Singer," "Sisters Who Make Waves," and "Rock & Roast" lies in the atmosphere of real-time discussion. If you wait a day, the trending topics will have changed three times, and your complaints will go unnoticed.
- Documentaries and niche content. Many documentaries on Bilibili, original content on Mango TV, and exclusive dramas on Youku have regional restrictions. This significantly reduces the content options available to overseas users.
