The big sale of "Jurassic Park" in Hong Kong awakened a group of Hong Kong filmmakers who were still daydreaming, and also allowed them to clearly see the gap between themselves and Hollywood.

When Hong Kong filmmakers were still obsessed with hanging wires and using model special effects to create special effects, Hollywood had evolved to use computer technology to create special effects. In terms of technology time difference, it was at least twenty years.

Compared with model special effects technology, computer special effects technology is more advanced, more refined, more realistic, more conducive to the implementation of director's requirements, and more attractive to the audience. It is the mainstream of future film technology development.

But now, the Hong Kong film industry is not about pursuing Hollywood, and it has not even started yet. None of the three major film companies in Hong Kong have computer special effects companies in Hong Kong. Even the summer Tianxia Animation Company is located in the United States.

Now, Hollywood is carrying new film technology and is in a hurry, just like the colonists who were strong and powerful in the ships and cannons back then. And Hong Kong filmmakers are still trying to resist with short swords and spears. Wouldn’t it be useless to hit the stone with eggs?

Thinking that the prospect was dark, they immediately came to Xiatian to discuss solutions.

...

The conference room of the Tianxia Group.

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Xu Ke, Huang Baiming, Mecca, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, etc., a large number of people from the Hong Kong Film Festival gathered together to discuss how to deal with Hollywood.

"Mr. Xia, your "Jurassic Park" is really great, and it made us all stunned." Zou Wenhuai flattered, "To be honest, I have never seen such a good movie for so many years. You are truly a genius."

"Yes, Mr. Xia, this movie is really good, especially the special effects technology is amazing. How did they do it? The dinosaurs are like real." Mecca nodded and said in agreement.

Although he has filmed movies in Hollywood and served as the deputy director of "007: The Golden Gun", that happened nearly twenty years ago. He is not very clear about the development of the Hollywood film industry today.

"Mr. Xia, your movie is so well made, but what should we do?" Huang Baiming said half flatteringly and half complaining.

"Yes, Mr. Xia, if Hollywood movies have this quality, then we will have no way to survive." After hearing what he said, everyone here echoed.

When Xia Tian heard this, he smiled, "Everyone, I have reminded you that the Hong Kong movie crisis is right in front of you. Unfortunately, you don't listen, you all see it now, right?"

Everyone here looked at each other and nodded awkwardly.

A few days ago, Xia Tiantian implemented a "re-engineering plan" within Tianxia Entertainment, providing a way out for Tianxia Entertainment staff. At that time, he wrote an article to warn everyone that the future prospects of Hong Kong films are not good.

At that time, Jiahe, Xinyi City and other film companies also saw this letter and were deeply moved. They even said they wanted to go back and study it carefully. But it was just a thunder and a little rain. They said they wanted to reform, but in the end they were just talking and stopping in action.

Now, they saw that "Jurassic Park" was so popular that they finally realized that something was wrong, so they came to ask Xia Tian for help. They really didn't cry until they saw the coffin.

...

"What do you think of me?" Xia Tian asked again immediately.

"Of course I hope Mr. Xia, you can help you find a clear way." Zou Wenhuai immediately smiled.

"Yes, Mr. Xia, you have a far-sighted vision, so please help us." Huang Baiming also asked.

"Mr. Xia, please give us some advice!", "Mr. Xia, we all rely on you!" Everyone said.

"This time, Hollywood soldiers are approaching. If we Hong Kong filmmakers are together, we still have the strength to stand up. But if each has a lot of worries and a mess, I would like to ask for more blessings." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "So you have to think about whether you want to be united or split? Once the choice is completed, you must go on unswervingly. If anyone wants to regret it, I will be the first to refuse."

Hearing what he said, everyone looked at each other and then nodded, "Mr. Xia, of course we want to get along, you just want to tell me what should we do?"

"Yes, Mr. Xia, if we don't want to get along, we won't all come to you today." Zou Wenhuai also smiled.

"Okay, since you all think so, I won't hide my private parts." Xia Tian nodded, "I don't need to say how advanced Hollywood computer special effects technology is, everyone has seen it. "Terminator 2" released last year and "Jurassic Park" released this year have fully demonstrated this technology.

And I also tell you that computer special effects technology is still in its prototype now, and future computer special effects technology will be more amazing and realistic, and can even reach the level of being a beautiful real actor."

Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings", the Apes in "Planet of the Apes", the Elf in "Harry Potter", and the Namei in "Avatar"... These characters produced by live action capture, plus computer special effects technology, are comparable to those of live actors, regardless of the authenticity or the delicateness of the performance.

It can be said that later computer special effects technology is actually enough to replace real actors. However, virtual characters produced by computer special effects technology lack the charm and box office appeal of real actors, so real actors have not been replaced on a large scale.

But I believe that one day, virtual characters created by computer special effects technology will replace live actors and become the mainstream of film production. After all, virtual characters are cheaper and easier to control. In the future when celebrity pay is increasing, replacing live actors with virtual characters may become the first choice for many production companies.

...

After hearing what Xia Tian said, everyone here couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

"And how is the development of our Hong Kong movie special effects technology now? In fact, everyone knows it's a mess." Xia Tian waved his hand, "Don't say that he is chasing the United States, he hasn't even started yet."

Everyone lowered their heads in shame.

Because Hong Kong filmmakers always like the production route of low-cost and high-income, a movie usually invests less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is completely the production level of C-level films in Hollywood.

However, computer special effects technology is very expensive, so Hong Kong filmmakers simply don’t use it and would rather use cheaper model special effects technology.

For example, Lan Zi was the first film of "Asura", starring Wang Qixian and Zhang Guorong, and are all examples of model special effects application.

If you save this, although you will benefit in a short period of time, in terms of long-term development, you will be declining further and further by Hollywood.
