Chapter 2: The Last Position
"Quiet" is a good thing, but it is not always available.
Ren Tianxing was in a daze in the bedroom for a long time, and he didn't come up with anything famous.
Across from him, hundreds of robot models are placed.
In the middle of the model, there are several robot toys that have broken down and have a lifespan of more than twenty years.
Scenes from the past come to mind.
"Xiaoxing, this robot is called Athena, and she will protect you in the future."
"Dad, why aren't boys guarding girls?"
"Silly boy, robots are much stronger than humans, where do you need protection?"
"Wow, then I don't have to learn martial arts?"
"Hehe, when you earn enough contribution points in the future and buy a bunch of robots, you won't have to learn anything."
……
"Father, I really believe your words, but ......," Ren Tianxing muttered.
Recall that a few years ago, in order to get what is known as the most advanced intelligent robot in the Galactic Alliance, he participated in the robot essay contest.
His fascination with robots since he was a child allowed him to inject abundant emotions into his novels, and he finally won the championship.
The prize of the champion is Sijia.
However, today, this "prize" really hurt Ren Tianxing.
"When I get enough permission, I'll beat your ass!"
"No, I really can't wait, I have to get another senior female robot back as soon as possible, and show affection and anger for her every day!" Ren Tianxing gritted his teeth.
However, it is said that this is the case.
Advanced bots are expensive and require a lot of contribution points.
The point is that there is also a corresponding social authority.
The human beings of the Galactic Alliance are divided into ten ranks, and Ren Tianxing was a second-class citizen before he was reborn, but now that his old identity is frozen, he can only enjoy the privileges of a ninth-class citizen.
Even if you buy a non-intelligent robot, you need to be a seventh-class citizen.
A medium-sized intelligent robot like Xiaoice has fourth-class citizen permissions.
Jiang Sijia? Ren Tianxing didn't know what level she belonged to.
"Permission frozen, and even the taste of the food has deteriorated?" At the dining table, Ren Tianxing frowned and put down his chopsticks.
"Well, the minimum food security provided by the Alliance for ninth-class citizens is just that." Xiaoice stood at the table and explained gently.
"I know...... Well, I've never eaten such bad food before, I guess. Ren Tianxing looked at Xiaoice, "But your cooking skills are so good, why don't you help me deal with it?" The ingredients can't be changed, but the taste can always be adjusted, right? ”
"It's Sister Sijia who said that too delicious food will make low-level citizens lose their desire to struggle, so let me not deal with it." Xiaoice lowered his head and pinched his fingers uneasily.
"Damn, do you really think of me as a low-level citizen who eats and waits for death?" Ren Tianxing said angrily.
"I'm going to start earning contribution points today! However, the writer is not allowed to do this, Xiaoice, do you have any good suggestions? "Ren Tianxing is not in the mood to eat again.
"Master, I'm just a little maid, you should ask Sister Sijia about this?" Xiaoice blinked.
"Don't give me Tisijia again, you are a hundred times stronger than her in my mind." Ren Tianxing is upright.
"Am I better than Sister Sijia? Master, did you have a seizure of the sequelae of rebirth? Xiaoice put his hand on Ren Tianxing's forehead with concern and began to take his temperature.
"Don't make a fuss, give me a suggestion." Ren Tianxing slapped her hand away.
"Think about it......" Xiaoice put his hand under his cheek, frowning and thinking about it, which is quite cute.
Well, maid robot, the premise is to look cute in any pose.
"It's been so long." Ren Tianxing looked at the quantum clock on the wall, and five minutes had passed.
"Owner, please forgive me, there are hundreds of of episodes stored in Xiaoice's database, which is very informative." Xiaoice finally put his hand down.
"What, I asked you to give work advice, did you watch a TV series?" Ren Tianxing glared.
"I'm just looking for information from TV dramas, well, according to my analysis of these materials, master, you are the most suitable for film and television dramas to do group performances at this stage." Xiaoice said seriously.
"Poof~" Ren Tianxing was really speechless, "So for you little brain, there are only film and television dramas in this world, right?" ”
"That's right, you see, a hundred years ago, the development of the Internet led to the disappearance of human business behavior, fifty years ago, our robots replaced all the monotonous and repetitive work of human beings, twenty years ago, replaced human scientific research, ten years ago, replaced service work, and then cultural creativity was considered to be the only position of human beings, but music, painting, and writing have been replaced, and now only performance is suitable for human beings in the cultural field." Xiaoice came seriously one by one.
"Why can't acting be replaced?" Ren Tianxing was sad for human beings, but also a little unconvinced.
Why are actors more artistic than writers?
"In terms of acting, robots can completely replace humans, but human audiences have psychological problems and don't like to watch robot actors, this psychology is like ......" Xiaoice paused before saying: "Just like men like natural beauties and don't like plastic surgery beauties." ”
"Makes sense." Ren Tianxing nodded, and thought for a while: "The direction you proposed is still okay, but it's ......"
Ren Tianxing paused for three seconds before he roared: "Your master, I am so Yushu Lingfeng, you asked me to be an extra, and I played tricks?!" ”
Xiaoice shrank back and said timidly: "Master, you have no relevant work experience, and you are not born in an acting class, so you can only start from scratch." ”
"Okay." Ren Tianxing snorted, and said after a while: "I definitely won't do extras, even if it's a formal actor, it's not my interest to become a big star, I can apply for a screenwriter." ”
It stands to reason that fiction writers have been replaced by robots, and screenwriters will be no exception, but Ren Tianxing still has a glimmer of hope.
If you can't become a screenwriter, find another job, you don't necessarily have to be a "cultural person".
After searching, there is a newly built film and television base in this city, so there is no need to go to other places for interviews.
Sitting on the automatic fast rail, Ren Tianxing closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking that the changes in the past three years were really too great, and even the small third-tier cities in his hometown began to engage in film and television.
It seems that as Xiaoice said, the last cultural position of mankind is left with performances, and everyone can only rush up and squeeze the single-plank bridge.
"Big Tree Store Film and Television Base." I saw a barren mountain in the distance, carved with a few big characters.
Many years ago, it was just the name of a poor village, but now it is no longer a "village", let alone "poverty".
Mechanized and intelligent farming, unified food rationing, and the last farmers have lived in the city for generations.
Entering the gate of the base, you can see various ancient buildings of the Han, Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties along the way, which is like a tourist area.
But I didn't see anyone filming, is it because this base was built not long ago?
"Big brother, I'm looking for a job, where can I go for an interview?" Ren Tianxing saw a man wearing the armor of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army walking around not far away, so he went over to ask.
"The security guard of the No. 212 machine in the big tree store is at your service, please come with me." The man replied in a mechanical tone.
"Poof, from a distance, it's completely a real person, No. 212...... With you here, is there still a need for the profession of group performance? Ren Tianxing coughed.
The extras have no lines, and they are all in the distance, where can ordinary viewers tell the difference between a real person and a robot?
"I can't answer your question." The robot "Qing Army" walked neatly and did not look back.
