There is nothing wrong for a chinese director to make a movie which attract foreigner viewers, but it doesn't mean those are good movies. If Zhang yimou keeps doing what he is doing right now, he will never make another passionate movie like "to live", therefore he will never win an Oscar even he prayed for. There is no soul , no meaning in those non-sense big budget movies.
It is not only because we are chinese that we have to support Chinese directors, Chinese actors or Chinese movies. It is the good movies which inspire us , entertain us and we are willing to pay for it and sitting through it in the theatres. Anyway, I don't think you watch many movies, that's why your standard is so low or you are just too young , easily attracted by the look of the film instead of the content.
