The COVID-19 pandemic has shut down theaters for more than half a year. We used to go to the theaters every weekend to watch new movies, but now people prefer to stay at home to watch movies, which is warm and safe. Chinese-language films used to be brilliant, even second only to Hollywood. Although times have changed, the memories are still deep in our hearts, and it does not affect our rewatching classics over and over again.
Today I have sorted out2020 Overseas Chinese Movie Hot Search List in August, and the movie viewing channel is attached (you can directly scroll to the bottom), so you can’t stop watching movies online!
01 Watching "Farewell My Concubine" overseas

07 Watching "A Chinese Odyssey" overseas
Do you like Jingjing from 500 years ago, or Zixia who gave you three moles? Do you like Zhizunbao who is free and dares to love and hate, or Sun Wukong who looks like a dog after being put on the tight hoop? The proposition of love is too vague, so I'm afraid it should be left to the Moonlight Treasure Box.
Zixia and Qingxia (played by Athena Chu) were originally the wicks of the Sun and Moon Lamp in front of the Buddha's seat (Zixia during the day and Qingxia at night). Although they share the same body, they have a deep hatred for each other. Therefore, Zixia made a vow that whoever can pull out the Purple and Green Sword in her hand will be her lover. The Purple and Green Sword was accidentally pulled out by Zhizunbao, and Zixia decided to marry him, but Zhizunbao, who was obsessed with Bai Jingjing (played by Karen Mok), rejected her. Later, the Bull Demon King rescued Zixia who was lost in the desert and forced her to marry him. At the critical moment, Zhizunbao appeared.
