Feng Xiaogang believes that what he really wants to express is difficult to replace with AI at this stage. He also mentioned that he once asked industry practitioners about the application of AI in film and television production, and was told that although more and more special effects companies are turning to AI, the current technical effects are still difficult to fully meet the requirements of film production.

Faced with short dramas that have become popular in recent years, Feng Xiaogang’s attitude is more direct. He said he "didn't even look at it"

, basically no contact with this content form. At the same time, he also revealed that he rarely even goes to the cinema to watch movies now.

The reason is not that I don’t like movies, but rather my personal habits. Feng Xiaogang admitted that he has a smoking habit, and since smoking is prohibited in movie theaters, it would be difficult for him not to smoke for two consecutive hours. In contrast, he prefers to stay at home and watch movies. Nowadays, large-screen TVs and audio equipment are becoming more and more complete. Not only can he get a good audio-visual experience at home, but he can also pause, drink tea, drink, and even send barrages at any time, which is comfortable enough for him.

After the show was broadcast, these remarks quickly triggered discussions among netizens.

Some people agree with his views on AI creation and short plays, while others believe that actively rejecting new technologies and new content forms may gradually lose touch with the times.
