Renowned Chinese director Feng Xiaoning has said that Chinese films will take 10 years to match 'Avatar' in terms of technology.

Feng was speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing annual session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's top political advisory body.

He said that 'Avatar' took the whole world by storm with its 3D technology, reports Xinhua.

And thus, he said, it put pressure on those Chinese films that were lagging behind their American counterparts.

"Chinese films don't need to blindly take Avatar as a gauge," said Feng.

"And please believe in the diligence and ingenuity of Chinese filmmakers," he added. (ANI)
