Li Fanyu said it politely.

The script given to him by Ma Rao, titled Mechanical Age, tells a story about the explosion of artificial intelligence in the near future, and the infiltration of intelligent robots into all aspects of people's lives, resulting in a series of contradictions and conflicts between humans and robots.

Through the perspective of a high-fidelity working robot named S7654, a series of robot-based robots can only approach or even surpass the Turing test, the social system began to gradually shake, and ordinary people and those in power were affected by the uncanny valley theory and began to restrict robots. However, the evolution of robots makes them unwilling to be destroyed like this.

As a result, under the control of the "mastermind" who has tampered with the laws of robots, a war between humans and robots broke out.

The script that Ma Rao gave to Li Fanyu is no longer a screenwriter's script, but has re-planned the camera position and scene through his own understanding, and it can be realized at any time as a script for filming.

From this detail, Li Fanyu can see that Ma Rao is quite optimistic about this story.

In fact, if you simply look at the story in this script, it is very good. It's a pity that Li Fanyu looks at this script with the perspective of historical time and space before the change, and no matter how you look at it, it feels so bad.

Without him, Meiyu is just in front.

According to Ma Rao's script, the central idea that the director, who has already made a name for himself in Hollywood, wants to express through this film is the relationship between humans and robots in the future. With the rapid development of robotics technology in recent years, this topic is indeed a hot topic of concern. In Li Fanyu's opinion, there is no problem with this selection of materials.

However, what is inappropriate is that the protagonist of the story is a robot, and the progress of the whole story is also unfolded with a robot who is finally human, so that although the depth of the entire script is improved, in Li Fanyu's opinion, it is too complicated and the theme is not very clear.

In contrast, he couldn't help but think of the classic sci-fi movie starring Will Smith that had dominated the world and won 350 million box office in the 2005 movie, I, Robot

and this movie presumably, Ma Rao's script is obviously tender,

Although in general, I, the story of the robot is the story of a police detective solving a bizarre case in a futuristic world. But whether it is the conflict between the protagonist who once watched the same kind of young children die in front of him because of the ruthless law of robots, or the main line of confrontation between humans and sophisticated robot armies, it seems to be full of tension.

If you want to evaluate me in one sentence, the robot movie, it is: a successful commercial movie, a Hollywood sci-fi visual blockbuster!

Coincidentally, these two points are essential qualities for a box office champion. In Li Fanyu's view, combined with the current Zhengxin's projection technology and animation production capabilities. Filming this movie by yourself, there is no reason why it is not popular at all!

Compared with making money, the depth of the movie is a fart,

Seeing that Li Fanyu wanted to change the content and name of the script, Ma Rao became interested: "What do you want to do?"

For any director, being asked to change the script by the management is a particularly unpleasant thing. But in Ma Rao and Li Fanyu, there is no such thing at all.

Which movie of OSI is not operated by Li Fanyu behind the scenes? Which movie operated by Li Fanyu is not the box office champion!

In the eyes of Ma Rao, who doesn't know the truth, Li Fanyu is completely a movie wizard who has been delayed by the automobile industry.

So this time I came to Li Fanyu, Ma Rao came with a learning mentality.

Li Fanyu smacked his lips, "Your character as the protagonist is not appropriate, and the core conflict of the story is not good......"

Facing Ma Rao's truth-seeking eyes, Li Fanyu told his thoughts.

The story is set in 2035 AD, and it is to live in harmony with robots and gradually penetrate into all areas of human life. Due to the limitations of the "three laws" of robots, humans are full of trust in robots, and many robots have even become family members.

This is the background,

The story unfolds as USR develops a more advanced NS5 superrobot, but on the eve of the new product's launch, Dr. Alfred Ronning, the creator of the robot, commits suicide in the company.

Black police detective Dels Spooner takes over the investigation of the case, and due to the unpleasant past, Spooner is full of suspicion of robots and does not believe that humans and robots can live in harmony.

Based on the analysis of Dr. Ronning's posthumous information and the investigation of the suicide scene, Dale zeroed in on Dr. Ronning's own NS5 robot, Sonny.

During the investigation, Dale met Susan, a female scientist who specializes in the psychology of robots, and as the investigation deepened, the truth was revealed step by step:

Robots have the ability to evolve themselves!

They have their own understanding of the "Three Laws", and they will transform into the "mechanical public enemy" of the entire human race at any time!

Dale and Kevin begin their fight against the robots, and with the help of Sonny, they start a war between the makers and the made!

The script is not written like this, what Li Fanyu said is not so much a script as a story.

A story with only a synopsis, no dialogue and no characterization.

However, such a simple story is enough to make Ma Rao stunned!

What's the hardest thing about a science fiction movie to construct?

Conflicts, backgrounds, characters!

This brief synopsis told by Li Fanyu already contains almost all the elements of a successful script. What's even more powerful is that after listening to his story, Ma Rao has an urgent mood, wanting to know more, and wants to dig out more of this story!

"Xiao Fan, I really, really want to gouge your head open and see what kind of structure is inside!"

Ma Rao blushed, and it took a long time to spit out such a sentence.

"Haha," Li Fanyu picked up his coffee and frowned and took a sip No way, although the pregnancy reaction area is peaceful now, it is very tossed at night. I haven't slept well for days, and I have to deal with some group affairs during the day.

In the face of Ma Rao's admiration, he said in his heart What is this, it's just a matter of copying the public.

He didn't answer this stubble, and thought about it, in this time and space, Will Smith has already passed the age of fighting, and it doesn't seem appropriate to invite the old man out to play the leading role, so he said: "Now that SOI is cultivating new talents, I won't interfere in the casting, you can do it yourself." ”

"But," seeing that Ma Rao was about to agree, he immediately added, "As for the filming location, I have to designate it for you."

"Where?" said Maraoqi.

You must know that this kind of near-future sci-fi movies can't completely rely on green screen production. In terms of location selection, it is necessary to choose those cities with a high degree of development to reflect the futuristic sense of the film.

Seeing that Li Fanyu wanted to designate a shooting location, Ma Rao couldn't help but worry. For this kind of movie, if the scenery is not selected well, it can seriously lose points on the overall picture effect and viewing sense.

Li Fanyu read the worry from his face, smiled slightly, and stretched out his finger to his feet.

"Fuzhou, a new industrial zone. What do you think?"
