Chapter 381: Initiating Propaganda
On the afternoon of March 15.
The 'duel of the century' between artificial intelligence AlphaGo and world champion Lee Sedol Kudan finally ended 1:4.
"It's a pity that in the previous game, Lee Sedol Jiudan once relied on AlphaGo's loophole in black to play a white 78 'god move', which caused AlphaGo to misjudge the situation, and it was not until 5 moves later that he realized that the situation was unfavorable and won the first victory. ”
According to the results of the matchup, Lee Sedol did not make obvious mistakes in the ninth dan, and the time gap between the two sides was not large, and AlphaGo only had 20 minutes left at this time. Unlike the previous four matches, today's matchup did not feature a mid-game win for either side, with both sides fighting until the final stage. In the end, five hours into the match, Lee Sedol conceded defeat with 180 hands in nine dans, showing his World Champion's tenacity. ”
"It is reported that the engineers on the AlphaGo side have surfaced that they will go to Huaxia after the end of the nine sections with Lee Sedol to organize a showdown with Ke Jie, who is ranked No. 1 in the world today, and the duel between artificial intelligence and humans is not over......"
Lee Sedol's defeat, especially the 1:4 defeat, was clearly beyond the expectations of the South Korean people.
In particular, the whole process of the duel was deliberately stirred up by Shen Zhengyuan, and although the broadcast restrictions limited to cable stations cannot be said to be well known, it has also caused a lot of heated topics throughout the South Korean Peninsula.
Therefore, as soon as the news of Lee Sedol's nine-stage failure came out, the Internet was even more uproar.
There are regrets, accusations, and messages of understanding.
Of course, the reaction on the Internet is not the focus of Shen Zhengyuan's attention, but what he cares about is the benefits that the broadcast of this so-called 'showdown of the century' will bring to the TV news program.
The results were clear and unexpectedly good.
With a maximum rating of more than four percent and an average of three percent, it is already an unimaginable ratings success for a news program.
Generally speaking, for news programs, only the broadcast ratings of major events will have such results.
Although Go is a world-class competitive event, it is not too popular compared to mainstream events, especially the complex rules duel, which discourages the vast majority of people, and also makes the popularity of Go a competitive event not very high.
The reason why it was able to arouse such a high level of discussion and global attention in South Korea is that it is actually a gimmick of artificial intelligence AlphaGo. Artificial intelligence technology has always been one of the cutting-edge technologies that human beings pay attention to, and the crisis of artificial intelligence is also a sense of crisis that has surrounded human beings since the emergence of robots.
In particular, in the first three rounds of the matchup, AlphaGo's game-breaking victory aroused this sense of uneasiness to the extreme.
In the fourth game, Lee Sedol won the roundabout victory, but it seemed to give mankind a hope, although artificial intelligence is powerful, but it is not invincible after all.
Through the ups and downs of the game, even the audience who did not know anything about Go paid attention to the game because of artificial intelligence.
At the same time, it has also brought a lot of fame to Al Jazeera's news department.
Even if there was a significant drop in ratings after the broadcast, the vast majority of the public knew through this broadcast that Al Jazeera also had news programs, and also broadcast the world's attention to the 'showdown of the century'.
……
At the beginning of April, the afterglow of artificial intelligence AlphaGo faded.
Shen Zhengyuan's Al Jazeera TV ushered in another round of busyness, and a large number of staff members of the TV station who went overseas to shoot the TV series "Descendants of the Sun" returned.
In the drama "Descendants of the Sun", overseas shots account for 80% of the scenes in the whole drama.
The return of the crew also means that the filming of the TV series has officially entered the final stage.
"Screenwriter Kim Eun-sook, hard work. ”
At the scene of the crew of "Descendants of the Sun", Shen Zhengyuan saw Kim Eun-sook who came back from overseas, and the other party was obviously darker than before going abroad, which shows that overseas filming is not easy.
"President Shen, you're serious, we went abroad to shoot TV series, not to travel, so naturally everything is based on TV series shooting. Shaking her head, Kim Eun-sook glanced at the filming situation on the scene, and after the overseas shooting, the rest of the domestic shooting was obviously more relaxed, and there was no need to keep an eye on it all the time: "However, although I also noticed the domestic news overseas, I regret that I missed the 'showdown of the century' between the artificial intelligence AlphaGo and Lee Sedol Jiudan." ”
"Kim Eun-sook also pays attention to Go?"
Hearing this, Shen Zhengyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the other party would also be involved in a wide range of things as a screenwriter, and he also paid attention to the matter of Go.
"It's not for this reason, it's purely that if this kind of artificial intelligence theme can be placed in the plot of the TV series, it should be a very attractive topic. ”
Hearing the explanation given by editor Kim Eun-sook, Shen Zhengyuan suddenly felt in his heart, how to say it, he is worthy of being a screenwriter, and he thinks about the creation of TV drama scripts.
After the joke, editor Kim Eun-sook also got to the point: "The overseas filming of "Descendants of the Sun" has basically been completed, and the post-editing has also begun, and the Chinese side ......"
"On the Huaxia side, I have contacted the other party's censorship department through a familiar TV station, and theoretically there should not be too much obstruction, but the other party has also clearly named us, and we need to conduct a self-examination of the plot of the TV series first, so as to avoid scenes or pictures that do not meet the requirements of the Huaxia department. Shen Zhengyuan took over the topic.
"That's fine, and I've been paying attention to the control of the lens during the shoot. Nodding, editor Kim Eun-sook obviously had an understanding of the requirements for the broadcast of TV dramas in Huaxia, and she didn't seem too surprised.
"As for other questions, by the way, how many scenes of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo are left?"
"There are not many, most of them have already been filmed overseas, and the rest is only a few scattered shots, and I will let the director concentrate on a few days to complete them all. ”
"Of course, this is the best, and after the two of them are over, I hope that Kim Eun-sook and the two of them will inform me that the TV station will make a special report and interview on the content of the TV series, and I hope the two can cooperate. ”
At this time, the importance of news reporting is presented, in the past, Al Jazeera's news programs were not strong, and they could not have much publicity effect, so they were ignored by Shen Zhengyuan for a long time, but now, after the blessing of the "showdown of the century" broadcast, it has obviously become a more popular news program, which can basically meet the propaganda effect that Shen Zhengyuan needs.
