- @Jeromi Mikhael: Thanks for the review. I'll add some more content to address the length concern. Could you please clarify your concern about the sourcing? I don't see Pengpai or Douban listed at WP:RSP, and the listing for Xinhua says that it's "generally reliable for factual reporting" (with some exceptions that don't apply here). —Mx.

- @Mx. Granger: Douban is listed as a "user generated source" in WP:NPPSG based on a [RfC]. The former is kind of weird, since Headbomb's userscript that detects unreliable source marks this source as a "generally unreliable source". It's late night in here and I'll return to this tomorrow.

- @Mx. Granger: Sina.com (1, 2, 3)
- As noted in the third discussion you linked, Sina is an aggregator. In the case at hand, it published a report from Xinhua (新华网), which is a reliable source for this information.
- As for Douban, of course it would not be a reliable source for factual details like budget or production information, but here it's being used as a primary source for the film's average rating on Douban. If you'd like, I can try to find a secondary source reporting on that rating instead. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 15:15, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Jeromi Mikhael: I've added more content to the article, added an additional citation for the information from Xinhua, and replaced the Douban citation with a secondary source about the former Douban rating. What do you think? —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 15:47, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
