Why did China put a lot of special effects in movies and TV series, but the effect was poor?

International first-class film special effects companies like Industrial Light Magic recruit a large number of special effects personnel in China every year. Hugo, who won the Oscar for Best Vision, has many scenes completely completed by China's team in China. Films are not short of money, and actors are short of money. If you really can't do it yourself, please ask a foreign company to do it. The biggest special effects company in the world is eager to cooperate with China films!

However, the budget for making a film in China is not that high. A movie costs tens of millions, but big-name stars will take most of the salary. There is only a little bit left in the post-production of the film. Investors, thinking about how to quickly return their money, can only release the special effects first. Too eager for quick success. No one wants to slow down and slowly do the later stage and slowly render. It usually takes 2.3 years for foreign excellent cartoons to conceive scripts, shape characters and finally make movies.

The production cycle is greatly shortened, and the shooting cycle of a two-dimensional composite special effect in Hollywood (about 3 seconds or more) is one to two months on average. The average production cycle of a shot in China first-line movies is usually half a day to one day. This is the gap of the whole film industry system. In the United States, there are many film festivals, and the market competition is extremely fierce, which means that there is almost no chance to turn over if you fail. At the same time, Hollywood has huge investment and powerful equipment system. Almost everything can be realistic.

Generally speaking, everything is the root of money, so how much does a movie's special effects cost? Look at the answer above! In China, the prospect of film special effects is still very bright, and many directors have begun to pay attention to special effects.
