Volume I: The New World and the Discovery of Manuscripts Volume 115: Artificial Intelligence
Manuscript:
Xiaomei referred to a large number of movies and found that there were very few movies with two heroines and no men. There are also very few movies with two protagonists, so they decided to carve out their own way. She is a woman herself and knows what female viewers want to see. Xiaomei took out the energy of writing her graduation thesis to write the script, strictly controlled the lines and appearances of each character, and strived to achieve 50% of the scenes of each of the two roles.
She also put a lot of thought into the design of the action scene, in which she arranged a heads-up for the two heroines, because Artemis's weapon is a bow and arrow, so Chang'e's weapon is not easy to handle. Using a shield is too bulky, and using a sword feels like you need to design a beautiful set of swordsmanship, which requires basic martial arts skills. After a few nights of tossing and turning, Xiaomei finally decided to let Chang'e also use a bow and arrow, after all, Chang'e's husband Hou Yi uses a bow and arrow, and he should be a little bit after being married for so long.
Then the action scene is bow and arrow to bow and arrow, and Chang'e's Mongolian anti-angle bow is against Artemis's European-style longbow. The two of them were injured a lot when they shot each other, and they were covered with arrow wounds like hedgehogs. But because everyone is a god, it is not fatal. After this battle, the two became good friends, fighting side by side, going to the depths of the universe to hunt down those star-swallowing monsters.
Mao Mao applauded Xiaomei's script and said: "This script is good, and combined with the cosmic monster that was just discovered recently, I suggest you shoot an advertising sample first, and I will take it to solicit sponsorship." ”
The two girls were very interested, and every day after work, they went to the fitness game hall on the third floor to exercise and train martial arts movements. Xiaomei means that the movements of the two goddesses in the duel should combine the feeling of rhythmic gymnastics and ballet, so she downloaded many ballet-teaching and rhythmic gymnastics instructional videos on the Internet to explore by herself. She put all her energy into this film, drawing every storyboard very seriously, writing every line, getting up until 2 or 3 o'clock in the evening every day, and getting up at 7 o'clock in the morning to practice martial arts, and everyone was a lot haggard. Mao Mao felt sorry for Xiaomei and persuaded her not to fight so hard, download a script assistant and storyboard assistant APP, set the outline by yourself, and let the computer help you complete the next things. Xiaomei didn't agree, saying that the scripts and storyboards written by machines have no temperature, and they must be drawn by hand to have a soul.
Mao Mao said angrily: "You don't get enough sleep like this, you have dark circles under your eyes every day, your eyes are full of bloodshots, and it is useless how many masks you put on or how many cucumbers you put on." Do you want our movies to be shot with beauty filters?" Xiaomei suddenly woke up, strictly stipulated the working hours every day, and went to do maintenance regularly.
The perfectionist Xiaomei has been working for almost a month, and the script has only been written for a small time, and the storyboard has not been completed. Mao Mao looked anxious and said: "My little ancestor, don't make those scripts storyboard or anything, it's rambling, just pick up your mobile phone, let's shoot quickly!"
Xiaomei said: "But I'm not ready to ......"
Mao Mao said: "You can never start acting when you are ready for everything, there will always be places that are not ready. Let's write while shooting, and if we find any problems, we can change them. Now this social efficiency is the first, and no matter how good your creativity is, you won't be able to catch up. I see that some webtoons have already been drawn on the theme of interstellar monsters, and you don't start to be careful that people say that you plagiarize ideas. ”
Xiaomei took her mobile phone and took a small video with Maomao, there was no script, and she had a general intention to start the whole thing. The opening scene is on the farm: on the desolate surface of the moon, Mao Mao is dressed in an ancient Greek robe and holds a longbow in his hand. A strong wind blew, and Xiaomei appeared. I saw her dressed as a Chang'e cosplay costume and holding a short bow in her hand. The two of them each danced a war dance with their weapons first, but because their arm strength was not enough, they had to use exoskeleton equipment to draw the bow. After the dance, they started shooting at each other, and the first arrows were aimed at each other's heads, and the arrows collided in the air. The second arrow, Xiaomei, aimed at Maomao's hand pulling the bow, and Maomao still aimed at Xiaomei's head, and with two swishing sounds, the arrow was off the string. Between Maomao, she turned sideways and grabbed the arrow shot by Xiaomei with her bare hands, and Xiaomei did a backflip and caught Maomao's arrow with her mouth. After some temptation, both sides knew that they had met a master this time, so they began to make a special move - the fairy scattered flowers and ten thousand arrows at once. Each person takes out an arrow at the same time and shoots it at the other, and thousands of arrows fly together, so that you can't avoid it.
The third shot was not very easy to shoot, so I just filmed the two of them pulling the bowstring, intending to use post-production and special effects. After filming these scenes, Xiaomei and Maomao were a little hungry, so they walked into the farm restaurant to eat. Liu Qilin was busy making a golden carriage, ready to take pictures for tourists. Seeing the two coming, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Are you done shooting?"
Xiaomei handed the video to Liu Qilin and said, "Well, yes, I'm done shooting, and I'm going to eat at your place." ”
Liu Qilin said with a smile while watching the video: "I can't see that you two have still practiced? ”
Mao Mao said: "Shopkeeper, there is no need to say anything about sycophants." Give our sisters a pot of wine and cut two catties of cooked beef!"
Liu Qilin said: "Maomao, which one are you singing, are you a good man in Liangshan?"
Mao Mao smiled: "Since you know my name of Liang Shanbo, why don't you go and pour wine?"
Liu Qilin said: "I'm really convinced, Maomao, you are really addicted to drama." I've got the wine here, but the beef has to be slaughtered, so wait a minute. ”
Mao Mao said: "I thought you guys were in charge of it, and you didn't care about slaughtering it." ”
Liu Qilin said: "It's not been a day or two since you came to the moon, where did we come to the slaughterhouse, aren't they all slaughtered here." By the way, do you want to see the cattle slaughtered? If you want to see it, you can come and watch it together. ”
Xiaomei refused Liu Qilin's invitation, saying that she couldn't stand the bloodshed. Mao Mao agreed in one breath and said, "Okay, just go and see it." ”
Liu Qilin's slaughterhouse has been streamlined, basically without manual labor, and music is played. A cow stood on the conveyor belt listening to music and thinking about his thoughts, when suddenly a burst of electricity surging with tens of thousands of blessings, and he died. The next second it is cut into pieces of beef. Mao Mao looked at it for a while and said: "Actually, this cow's life is not bad, he usually has no worries about food and shelter, and there is no pain when he dies." ”
Liu Qilin picked up a piece of beef shoulder and said, "How about we eat this piece at night?"
Maomao nodded.
Liu Qilin said while making beef: "The current animal slaughter is basically like this, it's not too cruel, and the machine will help you get it." If you want to eat meat in ancient times, you have to kill it yourself with a knife, and sometimes I really envy the ancient times, thinking that hunting with a knife will make the prey taste good. ”
Maomao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Can you hunt here?" I have a bow and arrow, and I can shoot a cow with a bow and arrow." ”
Liu Qilin was very interested in Mao Mao's proposal, so he led Mao Mao to shoot a cow. Mao Mao had to call Xiaomei and said, "You bring your mobile phone, you can take a picture of me shooting a cow in a while, and then turn the cow into a cosmic monster." ”
A few people arrived at the open-air cowshed, and the milk bubble cows in the sky were used to being close to people, and they didn't know how to hide, and they were still flying slowly in the sky.
Mao Mao squinted his eyes for a while, selected a cow, put on a mechanical skeleton, adjusted the strength to the maximum, drew the bowstring, and with a whoosh an arrow flew to the cow's back. The cow was hit by an arrow and turned to run, but Mao Mao hit the cow's front leg with another arrow, and the cow was restricted in its movements, became agitated, and kept turning in circles to get rid of the arrow on its leg. Mao Mao didn't let it suffer for long, and another arrow went straight through the cow's neck and shot through the carotid artery. Due to the lack of gravity, beads of blood gushed out of the cow's neck and floated in the air, as if someone was blowing red soap bubbles.
Liu Qilin and Xiaomei were stunned by Mao Mao's neat skills, and it took a long time for Liu Qilin to come up with a sentence: "Mao Mao, you are really a natural huntress." ”
After eating, Xiaomei and Maomao went back to cut the film, and the rest is good to say, but this special effect is not very easy to get. The two girls' understanding of special effects is that they can turn on filters, and then they are gone. But now there is no ready-made filter for 10,000 arrows to fire at once, and there is no filter for cows to become monsters. Xiaomei had to go to the Internet to find a tutorial to learn, Mao Mao means to find someone to help with special effects, or let Mi Qiu help, he plays a lot of computers, he should be able to do special effects.
Xiaomei said: "No, I think it's better to learn by yourself, if we don't master this technique of making special effects, we will always be controlled by others in the future." ”
Mao Mao asked, "How long does it take to learn computer design?"
Xiaomei said: "It depends on how you learn, if you start learning programming or something, it will take you a few years." I'm just learning how to use special effects software, it should be pretty fast, I think there is a kind of software that converts your drawings into special effects, I just learn art, give me a day or two should be able to cut out the post-production. ”
Mao Mao thought about it, one or two days is not a long time, even if it is estimated that it will take so long to find someone else, so he said: "Okay, but if it can't be done in two days, let's find someone else to do it." If you don't want to find Wang Yiqiu, then find a company that specializes in special grades, the main thing is not to delay, while the heat of the alien monster is still in the past two days, we have to strike while the iron is hot. ”
Xiaomei said: "Okay, I'll do it first and see, and then I'll talk if I can't do it." Originally, Maomao's plan was to give Xiaomei a day or two to correctly understand her abilities, but she didn't expect Xiaomei to be very capable. Less than two hours after separating from Xiaomei, Xiaomei called Maomao and said that the film had been cut and asked Maomao to see the effect.
Mao Mao was stunned when she saw the film made by Xiaomei, whether it was the fighting scene between the two people or the scene of her own battle against alien monsters, it was exquisite, and the effect was no worse than those high-investment blockbusters.
"Damn, you're such a genius, how did you do this? How did you do it so quickly?"
Xiaomei smiled faintly and said: "I just ordered a movie special effects assistant APP, draw a picture of the general effect, and then dictate the desired texture to the AI, AI itself relies on algorithm 3D modeling, and it can be done in a few minutes, and there is a holographic projection version, you see if there is anything to change." ”
Mao Mao sighed while watching: "There's nothing to change, your film will definitely be popular, I can't imagine that technology is so developed now, and you can do it all with an APP for movie special effects." ”
Xiaomei smiled: "Of course, it's 2325 years, do you think it's still like a science fiction film in the 21st century, you have to cut out the picture frame by frame?"
Mao Mao said: "Isn't it true that everyone can be a director and everyone can make movies?"
Xiaomei said: "It's almost, but making movies is not just a technical thing, the most important thing is people's creativity and inspiration." Just as the advent of cameras and camcorders didn't make painters disappear, the advent of 3D printers didn't make sculptors disappear. There is always something in humans that machines can never catch up with. Mao Mao said: "I don't think it maybe, when artificial intelligence rises in the future, it may replace humans." ”
......
Before the crossing, Wang Xijia had also heard many legends about artificial intelligence replacing humans. Could it be that the cause of the loss of Atlantean civilization is artificial intelligence?
