According to ETToday, a short film made by artificial intelligence (AI) called "Snow Mountain Rescues the Fox" is causing a fever across social networking sites and Chinese media.
Although only 7 minutes long and produced by 4 young people with a cost of 40 CNY (about 153,000 VND), the work is still as effective as a crew of dozens of people.
The film tells the story of a douc langur repaying the hunter, with suspenseful, dramatic and surprising content, creating a strong emotional effect for viewers. Thanks to the proposed algorithm, the video quickly spread widely, reaching 5 billion views in just 3 days and becoming a multi-platform phenomenon.
The popularity of "Tuyet Son Cuu Ho Ly" also inspired other creators to develop into a series, even singer Thai Y Lam used images and introductions from the movie in his concert.
Previously, the short film "Hoac khu benh", completely built with artificial intelligence (AI), was creating a fever thanks to its spectacular battle scenes and realistic AI actor expressions. The video quickly spread, attracting more than 500 million views in just a short time.
Director Duong Ham Ham said that the crew made the video in 48 hours, the data processing cost was only 3,000 CNY (11.4 million VND), not including personnel fees and did not disclose the number of participants. The film was released before Seedance 2.0 appeared.
Many film experts call Hoac Khu Benh a "seismic", changing the perception that it takes a lot of money to make quality special effects. On Weibo, thousands of viewers expressed "cold back" at the rapid development of AI.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is creating a job crisis in the short film industry in China.
After Tet 2026, thousands of real actors will lose their jobs when the production of films with actors decreases by 50%, while AI actors can produce up to 80 episodes in just 5 days with low cost and fast speed, putting great pressure on traditional human resources.
In addition, AI actors also raise concerns about image rights. According to 163, the strong development of AI makes it difficult for famous artists to protect their reputation. Typically, the company representing Duong Tu and Tieu Chien has sued many social media accounts and content creators for using AI to simulate their faces to produce films.
