China's film and television industry has been developing rapidly in recent years.

Except for a few years in the middle due to certain reasons, the total box office revenue nationwide has been on an increasing trend.

This is thanks to urbanization and the rise in overall consumption levels, as well as the progress of China's film industry.

From another perspective, China's film industry's ability to export its films has been weakening.

This does not mean that Chinese films have won very few awards at major international film festivals in recent years; such awards are only a very one-sided aspect of China's ability to export its film industry.

Compared to Korean films, China's film industry has barely made a splash on the global stage.

Chinese TV dramas can also reach ASEAN countries, and this reach is a long-term and stable output capability.

Chinese films cannot even extend their influence to the sphere of influence of their own traditional culture.

If it's a real idol, China will agree; they want to use this as a trial run.

Starting with the film and television industry, the impact of virtual reality will extend to all aspects of society, while real idols can only be controlled in a limited number of areas.

China has always hoped that its culture could go global, and has made many attempts at the official level.

Among the three East Asian countries, it can't compare to Korea or Japan.

The main problem is that China lacks a clear boundary in its control over the cultural industry.

Moreover, the tightening of regulations is not a problem unique to China; other countries face similar issues, albeit in different forms.

For example, in Korea, since 2008, the control over freedom of speech has gradually tightened, according to a report by Freedom House, a non-profit organization based in Washington:

News control in Korea has decreased from freedom to partial freedom.

After Moon Jae-in came to power, he further strengthened media censorship by spying on server traffic.

China hopes that technological advancements will bring about changes to the entire industry.

Previously, investing in a film or television production required tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan, as there was no clear scope for regulation, resulting in extremely high risks.

Now that real idols exist, producing a film or television production can be done for less than a million dollars, which is a huge boon for the film and television industry.

You can't possibly invest in ten works, and all ten of them get banned, right?

With the uncontrollable phenomenon of actors also completely curbed, I no longer need real people to act in movies.

Just let virtual people act in all the roles. Virtual people can't be involved in prostitution or gambling, so they can take on multiple roles if they want.

With real idols, the industry will become an era where product competition is the only factor.

The space for young male celebrities to survive will be greatly compressed.

"If you ask me, this is the first time in all these years that our company has come up with such cutting-edge software technology."

"It's always been at the hardware level before."

"Who said that? The underlying logic of brain-computer interface technology has been explained very clearly by science. In fact, brain-computer interface technology was initially an application of software-level algorithms."

"That's true, but this real idol doesn't seem like our company's style. Which R&D team do you think secretly created it?"

"The Institute for the Future? Since its establishment, the Institute for the Future has recruited so many PhDs and even professors every year. It should have produced some results by now."

"Possibly."

China's internet giants all have their own high-end research institutions that specialize in cutting-edge scientific research.

Companies like Ali's DAMO Academy and Huawei's 2012 Lab are relatively well-known.

The main reason is that the name was chosen well, making people feel that it is unique.

Tencent's research institute is simply called Tencent Research Institute, but it was actually established much earlier than Alibaba's DAMO Academy and 2012 Labs.

The main problem is that the name was poorly chosen, and the outside world doesn't recognize it.

Kechuang Bio also has its own research institution, called the Future Research Institute.

The Institute for the Future is known internally for its high salaries and benefits.

"It's possible that the industrial artificial intelligence we're working on with Huawei is being spearheaded by the Future Research Institute."

It's estimated that this real idol was also developed by the Future Research Institute.

"They secretly launched another satellite without us even noticing."

"I just tried it, and it's really amazing. You can create a 3D character in VR and then let that virtual character replace other original characters."

"Should I import the original video?"

"Yes, import the original video and then assign a replacement character."

"Does that mean all the films and TV shows that were taken down before because of actor issues can just be re-released with different actors?"

"Theoretically speaking, it is entirely possible."

"Revitalizing outdated films and television shows by refurbishing them sounds like the same old trick as remaking old games, doesn't it?"

"This is a business opportunity; I'm even thinking of doing it myself."

Chinese game companies recognized the business opportunity a long time ago and started reviving some old online games on new servers.

They will make some targeted modifications to older online games, such as adding features, solving compatibility issues, and optimizing graphics, etc.

Even so, the cost of optimizing an old online game is far lower than the cost of relaunching a new game.

This gameplay can actually be traced back to the Legend of Mir, a game that still appears in game advertisements every day today.

Various celebrities, both past and present, endorse it.

As people working in the internet industry, they quickly realized that this was an opportunity. Remaking film and television works and remaking online games are the same thing, and film and television works are even more profitable.
