Why were Chinese sci-fi movies and novels so old-fashioned and felt like knockoffs?

Although Chinese sci-fi novels have received more and more attention in the past few years, they are still a minority. Although Chinese science fiction has a wide influence on a global scale, its readership in the local market is relatively small. This was mainly because China's cultural and social background was different from Western countries, so people's needs and preferences for science fiction were also different. However, with the continuous development of China's economy and culture, the readership of Chinese science fiction was constantly expanding. At the same time, some excellent Chinese science fiction novels had been translated into many languages and received widespread recognition and praise internationally. Therefore, the future development prospects of Chinese science fiction are still very broad. It will play an increasingly important role in cultural variety and scientific and technological innovation.

Chinese science fiction is sometimes criticized as unorthodox and vulgar mainly because it is often influenced by traditional Chinese culture and values. For example, many Chinese sci-fi novels had traditional cultural elements such as " Heavenly Book World,"" Immortals," and " Monsters." These elements were no longer popular in today's society. In addition, the writing style and language of Chinese science fiction novels were often considered "rustic" and "vulgar" and lacked international influence. However, it was not as if there were no outstanding works of Chinese science fiction. For example, the " Three-Body " series and " Wandering Earth " were popular among international readers and were considered one of the representative works of Chinese science fiction literature. These works not only demonstrated the strength of Chinese science fiction literature, but also reflected China. In order to overcome the "rustic" and "vulgar" feeling of Chinese science fiction, we need to adopt more modern and fashionable elements. At the same time, we need to improve the quality of its literature and international influence so that more people can understand and appreciate Chinese science fiction literature.

There were very few hard science fiction novels in China for the following reasons: 1. Cultural tradition: Science fiction has always been a relatively unfamiliar field in China's traditional culture. In Chinese culture, technology was often seen as a traditional culture rather than a new cultural form. Therefore, in Chinese culture, science fiction was regarded as a more radical and unconventional literary form, so it was not widely recognized and supported. 2. Literature review: China's literature review system is stricter on science fiction novels. Science fiction usually involved scientific concepts and theories that might need to conform to certain standards and norms. Therefore, science fiction novels might be subject to some restrictions and restrictions under the censoring system. 3. Market factors: The market for science fiction in China is relatively small and it is difficult to obtain sufficient financial support and publication. Therefore, most Chinese science fiction novels such as martial arts and romance were not science fiction novels. 4. Scientific literacy: China's scientific literacy is relatively low. People's understanding of science is not deep enough. Therefore, hard science fiction usually involved some complicated scientific concepts and theories that were difficult for most people in China to understand and accept. The reason why there were very few hard science fiction novels in China was due to cultural traditions, literary censors, market factors, scientific literacy, and many other reasons.

My answer may not be accurate enough. In fact, the phenomenon of science fiction stories being old-fashioned and not new was not only in China, but also on a global scale. The creation of science fiction usually required the author to use his rich imagination and scientific knowledge to explore the unknown and come up with innovative and imaginative stories. However, because the creation of science fiction involved many complex scientific concepts and settings, it required deep scientific knowledge and rich experience. Therefore, the creation process of science fiction was relatively complicated and required the author to put in more effort and time. In addition, the creation of science fiction novels was also constantly changing and influenced by the market and readers. Due to the increasing status and influence of science fiction in contemporary society, many attempts to attract readers 'attention through more detailed, in-depth, and imaginative plots. Finally, the phenomenon of science fiction stories being old-fashioned and not new could also be due to the change in readers 'demand for science fiction. In the current society, people's demand for entertainment, emotions, adventures and other aspects is increasing day by day. As a unique and charming literary form, science fiction has gradually become a way for people to relax and entertain themselves. As a result, many readers had higher requirements for the quality and creativity of science fiction stories. In summary, the reasons for the old-fashioned and unoriginal phenomenon of science fiction stories were due to many factors, including the difficulty of creation, the changing needs of readers, and the constant changes in the market and reader groups. However, I believe that the future of science fiction is still very broad. It will bring readers more novel and imaginative science fiction stories.

China's sci-fi film industry had yet to fully develop, so Chinese directors were not generally involved in sci-fi films in the field of film production. However, in recent years, some Chinese directors had begun to create sci-fi films such as The Wandering Earth and The Three-Body Problem series, which were widely praised and recognized. China's film industry has developed rapidly in the past few decades, but at the same time, it has also faced some challenges and problems. For example, in terms of film production, Chinese directors often faced financial and resource constraints, making it difficult for them to explore various topics and styles freely like directors from other countries. In addition, Chinese culture and values also influenced the direction and style of film creation, causing some Chinese sci-fi films to be inconsistent with the needs and expectations of the international market in terms of theme and plot. However, with the continuous development and progress of the Chinese film industry, the development prospects of Chinese sci-fi films in the future were still very broad. With the continuous growth of the Chinese film market and audience demand, Chinese directors and film production companies were also expected to be more involved in the field of science fiction movies in the future and create more outstanding works to promote the development of China's science fiction film industry.

There were a few reasons why domestic horror films did not look scary: 1. lack of imagination: domestic horror films often only focus on the compact and logical plot and ignore the character description and scene design. These movies often lacked imagination and did not dare to try new plots and characters, so they looked less exciting. 2. Poor visual effects: domestic horror films usually lacked professional production teams and equipment in terms of visual effects. This might have resulted in the lack of gore, horror, and horror elements in the scene, which affected the audience's emotional experience. 3. Inexperience: The producers of horror films may not have experienced enough market trials or received professional training. This might lead to the lack of maturity in the narrative skills, character creation, and emotional expression of the film, which would affect the audience's emotional experience. 4. Restrictions on the audience: Due to the competitive pressure of domestic horror films in the domestic market, film producers may not dare to try new subjects and styles, so they can only adapt and create from existing IPs. This might limit the audience of the movie and prevent it from attracting a wider audience. There were many problems in the production of domestic horror films that required in-depth improvement and exploration by the film producers. Only by constantly improving the production level and creativity could the audience better enjoy the charm of domestic horror films.

China's sci-fi film industry was gradually developing, but there was still a gap compared to developed countries such as Hollywood. Here are some reasons why Chinese sci-fi movies might not be able to sell well: 1. Different cultures and values: Unlike sci-fi movies in developed countries such as the United States, Chinese sci-fi movies tend to emphasize the influence of traditional Chinese culture and values, which may make the audience feel uncomfortable or uninterested. 2. The lack of suitable talents: China's film industry lacked outstanding sci-fi film talents, which limited the development of Chinese sci-fi films. 3. Insufficient funds: Compared to developed countries such as Hollywood, China's sci-fi film industry is underfunded, which limits the quality of film production. 4. Marketing strategy: China's sci-fi film market is not yet fully mature. The lack of effective marketing strategies may make it difficult for Chinese sci-fi films to attract more audiences. 5. Low audience demand: Chinese audiences have relatively low demand for sci-fi movies, which may make it difficult for Chinese sci-fi movies to meet the needs of the audience. It should be pointed out that China's film industry is developing rapidly. In the future, Chinese sci-fi films will definitely achieve greater success.
