It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person. In the field of film and television special effects production, there is still a considerable gap between the domestic industry and the world's advanced level. This gap lies not only in the technical aspect, but also includes creativity, conception, design, and the most crucial foundation of accumulation.
To give the simplest example, consider the resource library for special effects production. Top-tier special effects studios in Europe and America possess a profound heritage in this regard. For instance, when it comes to an explosion effect, a domestic production company's resource library might only have a dozen or so varieties, whereas the former often boasts hundreds or even thousands.
Some special effects assets cannot even be bought with money; they belong to the exclusive secret techniques of certain famous studios.
