Why were Chinese sci-fi movies and novels so old-fashioned and felt like knockoffs?
There were many reasons why Chinese sci-fi movies and novels looked like knockoffs. China's sci-fi film and novel industry started relatively late. Compared to western countries, China still had a long way to go in terms of creativity and imagination in sci-fi films and novels. Due to cultural and historical reasons, there were very few sci-fi elements in traditional Chinese literature. Science fiction was still a relatively new field in the Chinese literary market. Therefore, China's early science fiction did not draw inspiration from science fiction literature like Western countries. China's film and novel industry had been restricted during the development process, such as the censoring system and copyright protection. These restrictions might have limited the freedom of creators and affected the creativity and expressiveness of the works. China's cultural and social environment may have a relatively low level of understanding and acceptance of science and technology and science fiction, which also affected the style of Chinese science fiction movies and novels. Although there were many problems in China's science fiction film and novel industry, there were also many excellent works such as the " Three-Body Problem " series and " Wandering Earth." In the process of creating these works, the creators tried different creative methods and styles, which also reflected the current situation and development trend of Chinese science fiction movies and novels.
Why did Chinese science fiction novels always feel so old-fashioned?
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.
Why were the stories told in science fiction novels so old-fashioned and not novel?
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.
Why was the content of science fiction novels so old-fashioned and not new?
The creation of science fiction involved a lot of scientific and imaginative issues, which required the author to have a wealth of knowledge and experience. If the author didn't have enough knowledge or didn't think deeply about these issues, they might write an old-fashioned science fiction novel. The creation of science fiction novels also needed to take into account the needs and preferences of the readers. If the content of the novel was too old-fashioned or not novel, it might not attract the interest of the readers and lead to the failure of the novel. The creation of science fiction also had to take into account the influence of social and cultural backgrounds. If the social and cultural background changes, it may affect the content and form of the novel, so the author needs to maintain a keen insight and update his knowledge and imagination to adapt to the needs of different readers. All of the above reasons led to the current science fiction content being old-fashioned and not new. However, excellent science fiction novels, innovative forms, and content brought readers a new reading experience.
Why were domestic horror movies not scary at all? They felt like retarded movies.
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.
Why did the domestic sci-fi movies look so weird?
There are many reasons why domestic sci-fi films look strange. The following are some possible factors: 1. Cultural background differences: Chinese sci-fi films often ignore the cultural and historical background and directly adopt the framework and elements of Western sci-fi films. Therefore, it is difficult to understand and accept cultural differences. 2. The lack of depth and thinking: Chinese sci-fi films tend to focus on special effects and gorgeous scenes, but ignore the deep thinking and discussion of human nature, society, history, and other aspects. 3. Inexperience: Due to the relatively short history of the Chinese film industry, many directors and screenwriters lack the experience and knowledge to shoot sci-fi movies, so it is difficult to create true sci-fi works. 4. Translation problems: The translation quality of many Chinese sci-fi movies is not high enough, resulting in language ambiguities and incomprehensible words that affect the audience's understanding and feelings of the movie. 5. Different audience needs: Chinese sci-fi movies are often targeted at domestic audiences, while foreign sci-fi movies are more popular with global audiences. Therefore, the audience's needs and expectations for sci-fi movies are different, resulting in different evaluations of domestic sci-fi movies. The development of domestic sci-fi films required more effort and exploration. They needed to focus on cultural depth, creative experience, translation quality, and audience demand.
Was it because science fiction movies and novels nowadays were all old-fashioned?
Not all sci-fi movies or novels were clichéd, but some of them had been around for a long time and lacked creativity and imagination. The inspiration for sci-fi movies and novels came from different fields such as literature, philosophy, history, art, etc. Therefore, each work had its own unique style and ideology. Some classic sci-fi movies and novels, such as the Star Wars series, the Blade Runner series, and the Matrix series, had existed for decades but were still widely praised and sought after. Of course, a new generation of sci-fi movies and novels were also emerging. They might adopt new and more creative ways to express their theme and emotions, bringing new experiences and surprises to the audience. However, it was also necessary to admit that some works might still have some limitations and old-fashioned feelings that needed constant exploration and breakthroughs.
Why were there so few Chinese movies that reflected the reality of society?
There were several reasons why there were relatively few Chinese films that reflected social reality: 1. Cultural review: The Chinese government has a very strict review system for movies. Many movies need to be reviewed and approved by the relevant departments before they can be released. This kind of censoring system often limited the subject matter and content of the film, making it difficult to produce a large number of works that reflected social reality. 2. Financial issues: Compared to other countries, China's film industry is still relatively young and lacks sufficient funds and policy support. Therefore, many film production companies were more willing to choose a more relaxed and profitable theme and direction rather than a theme that reflected social reality. 3. The audience problem: China's cultural consumption market is relatively mature, but people's acceptance and evaluation of movies are relatively low. As a result, film production companies were more willing to choose films that had a wider audience and higher returns rather than subjects that reflected social reality. 4. The problem of innovation: The Chinese film industry's ability to create new ideas is insufficient, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs in terms of subject matter and techniques. Many film production companies preferred to draw on and absorb the experience of existing films at home and abroad instead of creating new ones. It should be pointed out that Chinese movies that reflected social reality were not non-existent, but relatively rare. In recent years, some film production companies and social welfare organizations had collaborated to create works that reflected social reality, such as I'm Not a Drug God and Operation Red Sea. At the same time, the Chinese government was constantly encouraging film production companies to create more works that reflected social reality, believing that there would be more excellent works in the future.

Why didn't Chinese directors touch sci-fi films? Or rather, why was China so lacking in sci-fi films?
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.
Why was Xu Song's name Carrot Whisker so old-fashioned?
The reason why Xu Song's name sounded so old-fashioned was that the name of the song was influenced by traditional Chinese music. In traditional Chinese culture, many songs were named according to the content of the lyrics or the theme of the song. The name "carrot beard" was consistent with the scene described in the lyrics, so it sounded more in line with the style of Chinese music. In addition, Xu Song's music style was also influenced by Western music. He used many elements of western music in his music composition, including the use of guitar, piano, violin and other instruments, as well as the fusion of various musical styles. Therefore, he might consider the influence of Western music rather than traditional Chinese music when choosing the name of the music. The reason why Xu Song's name sounded so old-fashioned was that the name of the song was influenced by traditional Chinese music and the style of the music.
