And two of the reasons for the overuse of CGI and slow motion is:
1) To create a "dramatic/amazing" effect to instantly wow the audience, which is now boring and tedious, especially the Matrix-style freezes and camera panning.
2) Because it prevents the actors having to do traditional/old Wuxia fight chorography scenes, especially with weapons, lessening their risk of injury because you know, they don't want the guys to get their faces scarred/ruined in fear of being dismissed by the female audience. As the video resolutions are High Definition (1080p, 4K, etc.), it means that they cannot use stuntman body doubles in the same way as the old Wuxias anymore.
Also, do remember that female audiences in general mostly want the romance stuff over everything else, which means less Wuxia and fighting scenes, instead more scenes and close-ups of the handsome men for the ladies to ogle.
It has already gotten to the point where the pretty guys/male vases are virtually synonymous with being anti-Wuxia.
