Bullet comments – real-time commentary from other viewers that scrolls over streamed videos – have become a distinctive part of Chinese online film-watching culture. They’ve grown in popularity in the past two years, with the total annual tally of comments more than doubling since 2017. The highest-grossing film in Chinese history, 2017’s “Wolf Warrior 2,” has just 248,000 bullet comments on Tencent Video, but 2018’s romantic drama “Cry Me a Sad River” has 501,000.
