The head of a China-based private equity fund that invested in the surprise Hollywood hit movie, Crazy Rich Asians (reviewed here), wants to show the world the new face of China’s wealthy young in a sequel.

Liu Yang (pictured above), head of China Cultural and Entertainment Fund (CCEF), which bought a stake last year in the movie’s producer SK Global, says she wants the sequel to reflect what young Chinese care about – electronics, the Internet, artificial intelligence and e-sports – to bring global audiences closer to the country’s newest and most dynamic generation.
