At the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival in Fuzhou, director Chris Hung wowed insiders with a sneak peek of how AI could reshape the Chinese mainland film and TV industry 🎬🤖.
Hung broke it down simply: AI is like a super-smart assistant that learns from tons of footage and data to help with scriptwriting, editing, visual effects, and even dubbing. Imagine a tool that speeds up VFX in your favorite web series or helps tweak dialogues so they hit just the right emotional note ✨.
More than just tech talk, Hung wants to fuse AI smarts with human creativity. His goal? Collaborative storytelling that blends data-driven insights and raw emotion—calling it emotional integration. Think of film scores that adapt in real time or characters whose reactions shift based on audience vibes 🤩.
The response was electric. Young filmmakers and pros from across South and Southeast Asia fired off questions on everything from AI-driven post-production tools to ways AI can help indie creators shoot higher-quality content on a budget. It’s clear this conversation is just getting started 🌏.
For aspiring creators, this is your moment to explore tools like RunwayML, Midjourney, or OpenAI’s video plugins. Whether you’re in Mumbai making your first short film or in Jakarta editing your vlog series, AI is low-key becoming your new best friend.
The future of Chinese mainland cinema—and global storytelling—is looking seriously next-level. Stay tuned, because the AI wave is just rolling in 🚀.
