As a mainland Chinese, it feels interesting to see foreign actors writing about what it's like to work for them.
I guess the Wandering Earth experience would be normal, but Lake Nagatsu is a war film, which does require some training, and they should reasonably pay you more (but the pay often depends on the film budget rather than the work you do).
I'm curious if you'll watch the movie you're starring in? How do you rate your acting?

How do your parents feel about you living in China? Are they worried about any of the politics?

I'm guessing they don't have a SAG union equivalent in China? So did you have to work really long hours all the time or did they give you guys breaks? Was the government involved in it or had any say in what was allowed to be filmed?

Did you ever feel you were participating in propaganda on behalf of the CCP?

If Wandering Earth is a "propaganda film" then so is The Martian.

Lol imagine getting your information from YouTubers who make a living off appealing to a certain demographic.

Check out SerpentZA or LaoWhy86 on YouTube. They lived in China for years and had to escape. I would definitely not go there right now.

He has a great achievement for himself (or at least, I'm impressed!), but I doubt anyone in the world has Chinese propaganda movies in their "must-see list" 🤣

Lots of English speakers have been out of jobs and the CCP is pushing anti-english rhetoric lately though?

What and where is the anti-English rhetoric? Where and why are English speakers out of jobs?
