Cecilia Yip and Rebecca Li Manxuan represented two generations of talent when they appeared at this year’s Kering Women in Motion session in Shanghai and they turned their attention to how they saw the Chinese film industry had evolved.

But times, she said, had slowly changed. “They used to refer to us…
