Hong Kong film director Stanley Tong – known for action-packed collabs with Jackie Chan – just dropped some 🍵 about cinema's hottest debate: Can AI replace human creativity? While embracing tech as a "powerful tool," he insists directors' hearts still rule the silver screen. 🎥
Tong, who helmed Chan’s iconic Police Story 3, compared AI to a "supercharged assistant" for editing and effects. But here’s the plot twist: "No algorithm can replicate the midnight oil burned perfecting a stunt sequence," he said, channeling Marvel-level dedication vibes. 💥
Young filmmakers, take note! Tong’s recipe blends AI’s efficiency with old-school grit. Think of it like TikTok meets Scorsese – tech handles the filters, but YOU direct the story. 📱✨
PSA to studios: While AI might soon write Fast & Furious 27, Tong warns: "Audiences crave soul, not just CGI." Mic drop. 🎤
