(II) Paradigm Shift in International Cooperation
- The "virtual production base" breaks geographical limitations: relying on cloud computing and digital twin technology, teams in Beijing, Los Angeles and Tokyo can collaborate in real time in the same virtual studio. The design meetings for the mechs in "Pacific Rim 3" can be iterated 24 hours a day, improving communication efficiency by 60%.
- AI-powered deployment of cultural consultants: A "cultural intelligent assistant" is standard on multinational projects, which can provide real-time reminders of religious taboos (such as clothing norms in the Middle East) and linguistic metaphors (such as the emotional levels of honorifics in Japanese), avoiding the cultural controversy caused by the misuse of totems in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5".
(III) Generational Upgrading of Audience Aesthetics
Gen Z audiences have three new demands for content:
- Value Resonance: Rejecting black-and-white binary narratives, works like "The Silent Truth" that "deconstruct real-world issues" have seen a 120% year-on-year increase in viewership.
- Engagement: Over 70% of young viewers are willing to pay for dramas with "customizable endings," and the ARPU of paid users for interactive dramas is 2.8 times that of traditional dramas;
- Cultural belonging: The Chinese-style animated film "The Longest Day in Chang'an" grossed over 5 billion yuan, proving that a composite narrative of "poetry + history + aesthetics" can inspire a strong sense of cultural identity.
IV. Team Mission: To define new heights in the industry through innovation and collaboration.
Faced with technological upheaval and cultural clashes, our team has always adhered to two core principles:
(I) Innovation: Deepening the integration of technology and art
- Establish a dual-track R&D mechanism of "technology-art": Set up an AI narrative laboratory and a virtual aesthetics research institute, and invest 15% of revenue in basic research every year to ensure that projects such as "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Reboot" always maintain the leading position in visuals and narratives;
- Implement a "micro-innovation" incentive program: encourage film crews to use AI to solve specific creative pain points. For example, lighting technicians use AI spectral analysis to optimize the color temperature of Dunhuang mural scenes, improving shooting efficiency by 30%. More than 200 such innovative cases are generated every year.
(II) Cooperation: Building an open and win-win industrial ecosystem
- Initiate the "Global Film and Television Technology Alliance": unite companies such as Disney, Netflix, and Tencent to formulate industry standards such as AI digital human copyright and virtual production standards to avoid ethical risks caused by the abuse of technology;
- Create a "Young Director Incubator": Open resources to young creators around the world through a virtual production platform, support local-themed works such as "African Future", and cultivate 37 emerging directors with box office revenue exceeding 100 million yuan within three years.
Conclusion: An industry expedition toward the light
Standing at the crossroads of history and the future, we see the film and television industry evolving from an "entertainment medium" into a "connector of civilizations"—AI is the paintbrush, 5G is the canvas, culture is the paint, and the audience's expectations are the eternal light source. Over the next decade, the team will adhere to the principle that "every frame is an innovative experiment, every story is a cultural dialogue," safeguarding the warmth of art amidst the technological wave, upholding local roots in a global landscape, ensuring that every work becomes a spark illuminating hearts, and propelling the film and television industry to new heights of greater scope and inclusiveness.
This is not only a vision for the future, but also an invitation to the industry: let us take the camera as our boat and creativity as our sail, and together sail towards a brighter tomorrow in the vast ocean of technology and humanities.
