Lights, camera, AI action! 🚀 At the 14th Beijing International Film Festival, content creator Pan Tianhong – whose online empire boasts 20M followers – dropped some truth bombs about how tech is democratizing storytelling.
\"Remember when making a movie required Hollywood-level budgets?\" Pan asked during a fireside chat with CGTN. \"Now, with apps that edit like magic and AI tools that handle everything from color grading to script ideas, anyone with a smartphone can become a director.\" 📱✨
The discussion echoed the festival's theme of innovation, tracing cinema's evolution from black-and-white reels to today's AI-powered content boom. Pan emphasized: \"Great stories aren't about fancy gear – they're about this,\" tapping his temple, \"but new tech helps ideas reach the world faster than ever.\" 🌍💡
With Gen Z creators driving platforms like Douyin and YouTube, experts predict 2024 could see 70% of viral content made using AI-assisted tools. The takeaway? Your next favorite film might come from a college dorm – not a studio lot. 🎥🍿
