What influence has the technological progress of film post-production brought to the performance?

This reminds me of the decline of Hong Kong movies. It can be said that the decline of Hong Kong movies is directly related to the development of special effects technology in the later period of movies. Nowadays, most film and television works are increasingly dependent on post-technology and can be divided into two categories among a large number of filmmakers who abuse computer special effects.

One is poor money, in order to save money. For example, in Zhang Jizhong's later film The Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Dragon Slayer, the inferior special effects background is completely based on AE, and some scenes are even useless, so they are sketched directly. The picture effect is terrible. One of the characteristics of computer special effects can be extended here is that the cost is controllable. In the same scene, 1 yuan has one yuan, and ten thousand yuan has ten thousand yuan. Take the Hong Kong martial arts films in the 1990s as an example. The previous special effects were immature, and all kinds of fights were carefully designed props and shot from various angles, which took a lot of time.

The second category is not bad money owners, mostly big names in Hong Kong film industry. It's probably their first time to get in touch with special effects. They are so excited that they hope to have some special effects in various scenes. Like Tsui Hark and Stephen Chow. The second characteristic of computer special effects can be extended here, which is highly planned. Good special effects must have the participation of the special effects team from the beginning of planning. It is not enough to cut all the pornography and throw it into the computer with two mouse clicks.

A vivid example is a story about the future police filmed by Jing Wong in the past. Obviously, director Jing Wong didn't understand the production process of 3d special effects at that time, and hdr lighting was not used for metal materials. Although it is really a 3d special effect, the final effect is not in harmony with the surrounding environment. That sounds horrific.
