CCTV's reporter's question made many media reporters stunned.

Made, not filmed?

Many people's first reaction was, how is this possible?

If such a picture can be made, not filmed, then wouldn't movie props be less important?

You must know that many war movies often need to use a lot of military weapons, and the cost of these military weapons is very high, and even you may not be able to find them if you pay for them.

But what did the CCTV reporter ask just now?

Made, not filmed? What's the joke?

Everyone's eyes looked at Lu Qing, wanting to know how he would answer this question.

"This media friend is very sensitive, yes, I just said that it was produced, not filmed. ”

As soon as Lu Qing's words fell, there was an uproar at the scene.

"How is this possible?"

"What are you kidding? It's obviously filmed, can't I even tell the difference?"

"yes, this lie is too substantial. ”

......

There was a commotion in the audience, and there were all kinds of doubts, but Lu Qing was not angry at all, because wasn't this the effect he wanted?

"The reporter from MBC North America. ”

"MR Lu, are you sure you just said that this video was not filmed, but made completely out of thin air?"

"No, no, no, this Mr. reporter, it is true that it was not made out of thin air, this video is our company's new product, intelligent light and magic software, through pictures, video clips, and audio synthesis, the material comes from the Internet, not made out of thin air. ”

Smart Light & Magic software?

Pictures, video clips, audio synthesize? What are you kidding?

When will PS technology be so good?

And it's still a video, not a picture.

The point is, what did Lu Qing say just now? These materials come from the Internet, what are you kidding?

"This journalist friend of World Newsweek. ”

"MR Lu, according to what you said, all these materials come from the Internet, so can I think that your company's new product, intelligent light and magic software, can theoretically be directly synthesized into a live-action movie by software?"

"Theoretically, it is possible, but, unfortunately, for the time being, the intelligent light and magic software is only in the initial testing stage, although it is theoretically feasible, but we have a saying in China, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so, live-action movies, after all, involves, expressions, language, body movements and other elements, and these, each movie is different, so, this possibility is only a theoretical possibility, for the time being, intelligent light and magic software is still unable to do. ”

"OH, MY GOD!

"In other words, if you have enough material, then the intelligent light and magic software can completely break away from humans and make a complete movie, oh my God, this is incredible, right?"

"So what is the goal of this software? Is it completely detached from human beings and made movies entirely out of software?"

"That's the ultimate goal, and of course, it may not be possible in 10 years, 20 years, or even 50 years or 100 years. ”

"Mr. Lu, does the emergence of intelligent light and magic software mean that in the future, the cost of producing movie special effects will be greatly reduced?"

"Of course, after all, we all know that to make special effects, many times, you need to make some complicated models, some special materials, huge manpower, material resources and time, and these are all cost-effective, but intelligent light and magic software can minimize these costs. ”

"In terms of labor cost and time cost alone, for example, a special effects shot requires a hundred programmers to work non-stop for dozens of hours to complete, but if it is handed over to Intelligent Light & Magic, it only takes a short time to complete, because people can't be distracted, but the artificial intelligence robot of Intelligent Light & Magic can be decomposed into countless individuals to complete tedious and repetitive work instead of humans. ”

"But there seems to be a big gap between the composite image and the real shooting picture, doesn't it?"

"Yes, but this is because the video produced by Intelligent Light & Magic uses resources from the Internet, not targeted. ”

......

"The spring of the film and television industry is coming, and super special effects can also be made at a low cost!"

"Intelligent Light & Magic, a spoiler in the film and television special effects industry!"

"If you think about it, artificial intelligence is gradually replacing the role of humans. ”

This new product launch of intelligent light and magic software is like a bombshell in the film and television industry.

The experimental video produced by Intelligent Light & Magic has exceeded 100 million hits on the Internet in just a few hours.

Not because of how wonderful that video is, but because that video is not filmed, but synthesized by software.

The point is that ordinary people can't tell whether this video is synthesized or filmed at all.

For the special effects industry, the emergence of intelligent light and magic is tantamount to a nuclear bomb.

For film and television practitioners, for the film and television industry, the emergence of intelligent light and magic is undoubtedly a huge benefit, which means that the cost of special effects will be greatly reduced.

Intelligent Light & Magic gave an approximate cost, taking the first movie "Transformers 5" taken over by Intelligent Light & Magic as an example, before "Transformers 4" cost more than 100 million US dollars for special effects alone, and now, if you use intelligent light and magic to make special effects, the cost will be reduced to 30 million US dollars.

What does this mean? It means that a movie that originally cost 200 million US dollars can now be completed with only 130 million US dollars, and the effect is not bad at all, and the production cycle is greatly shortened.

This is a huge positive for the entire film and television industry.

And for film special effects companies, the emergence of intelligent light and magic is completely fatal.

The difference between $100 million and $30 million, even fools can see that with intelligent light and magic, what competitiveness do they have?

Although intelligent light and magic also need people to operate, but the work that originally required a thousand people to complete it may now only need 10 people, and this gap is tantamount to a fatal blow for special effects technology practitioners.

For a time, the stock prices of all the listed special effects companies in the world fell in response, and the voices were all over the place.

Smart Light & Magic suddenly became the public enemy of countless special effects companies.

This means that Smart Light & Magic already has the ability to monopolize the entire market.

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, is it possible in the future to achieve the degree of independent production of special effects by humans?

Although it is not possible to do so at the moment, a wave of voices advocating the threat of intelligent light and magic is intensifying.
