The pinnacle masterpiece of its internationalization."
The Japanese praised Kang Jianfei to the sky, and the Hong Kong and Taiwan media also praised it. The main reason is that the global box office of 500 million US dollars is too terrifying, and this figure is still growing.
"Wen Wei Po" praised Kang Jianfei as "the pride of the Chinese people", while "Ming Pao Weekly" called him "the most powerful and influential Chinese director in the contemporary era and a representative figure of Chinese films".

, his status and reputation have also skyrocketed, and his salary has exceeded one million to be on par with Ng Meng-tat.
The biggest regret is probably Shochiku Pictures. Kang Jianfei invited Matsuzaka Keiko to be the heroine in order to cater to the Japanese market. "Jurassic Park" can easily make famous actors, so naturally he can't help others make stars.
