The Literary Life of a Science Leader

Chapter 187 Artificial Intelligence Calculates Humans
Among the three of Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Ning Hao, Xu Zheng is undoubtedly the one with the most business thinking.

He has no ability to change the current chaos in China's film and television industry, but he can find another way.At the beginning, he may not have had much confidence to face it, but since the success of "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The Wandering Earth", he has almost had a thorough understanding of the current Chinese film and television industry.

Now that the self-media is developed and audiences are no longer blind when watching movies, those garbage movies are getting harder and harder to fool the audience.

The method that could be operated easily in the past can only lead to total losses now. "Shanghai Fortress" is the best example.

What followed was vengeful movie watching. Even if you spent money on repeated viewings, those garbage movies were not cheap.

And the best example of this is "Nezha".

In Mu Jingchi's view, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is a good movie, but in his opinion, it is not enough to hit a box office of 50 to [-] billion yuan.

Whether it is "Wolf Warrior 2" or "The Wandering Earth", the high box office of both has special opportunities.

The former happened to encounter international disputes, and with the strengthening of China's national power, such a main theme movie does not seem exaggerated.

And the latter paints a sci-fi picture with a huge world view, and the special effects are not bad. It is a real sci-fi movie in China.

Compared with the two, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" is really almost meaningless in Mu Jingchi's heart.

Although the plot is fuller than "The Origin of the White Snake", and the characters are more three-dimensional, but Mu Jingchi can't see much improvement in terms of special effects.

On the contrary, Mu Jingchi felt that the fighting scene in Origin of the White Snake was more exciting than Nezha.

The reason for the high box office of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" is really a kind of retaliatory movie-watching behavior. Who makes the whole schedule have no other opponents who can fight!
After these big-selling movies, Xu Zheng knew that the current film and television environment was different from before, and it was different from two or three years ago.

Two or three years ago, traffic stars were still available, but do you still see traffic stars in movies now?
No!

At most, I just watch TV series.

Therefore, Xu Zheng is not worried at all about the simultaneous release of the two films in summer.

As for the so-called blocking of peers, it is useless. Everyone is a capitalist, and they all want to make money, and the emphasis is on profit first.

If Huanxi Media has produced many good movies, you can see what effect those so-called bans have.

The so-called ban only works when the levels are similar.

When one party escapes, blocking is nonsense.

Moreover, there is still a fallback route: Internet video websites. Netflix, Apple, Amazon, and Disney in the United States have all embarked on the path of streaming media, encroaching on the six major Hollywood markets.

Naturally, Huaxia is not exempt. When the original film and television industry cannot provide better content, maybe other capital will log in from the Internet.

Do you really think Tencent, Alibaba, and Toutiao are vegetarians?
The reason why there is no movement now may be that it is brewing.

"Dr. Mu, Mr. Ren said that you have a new novel idea?" Xu Zheng turned a corner and switched to the new cooperation. "If there is a chance, we would like to cooperate with you."

Mu Jingchi thought about it and said, "I've been quite busy during this period. I haven't even started writing the outline of the novel yet, and I haven't even sorted out the details. It will probably take some time to finish it."

"Moreover, this time the story is not happening in China, but in the UK."

"I'm writing a British story, which contains a lot of metaphors. It may be difficult to shoot."

Xu Zheng was both curious and puzzled, "Is there a novel about the life and career of Chinese people abroad?"

"no,"

Mu Jingchi shook his head, "It's still a suspenseful story, but with a British native as the protagonist, it's about politics related to Europe and the United States."

Hearing what Mu Jingchi said, Xu Zheng nodded inwardly.

This kind of story sounds like Huaxia is really not easy to shoot. I guess we can only wait for the novel to come out and then look at the situation.

"Why would you want to write a novel about Britain that also contains political metaphors?" Xu Zheng also wanted to know more inside information.

Mu Jingchi scratched the tip of his nose with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Because the moon in foreign countries is not so round, I hope that my novels can influence some people, so that they don't hold an attitude of admiration for foreign countries! "

Xu Zheng was in awe.

"What do you say?"

By chance, Song Xiaoyi and Ren Feiying came over and saw the two chatting happily, so they intervened.

When Mu Jingchi was chatting with others about scientific research, Song Xiaoyi didn't interrupt at all, because she couldn't interrupt; but the conversation with Xu Zheng was obviously much easier, so she interrupted.

"Let's talk about my next novel!"

Song Xiaoyi held Mu Jingchi's arm, "You said you wanted to write me a novel, is this the new novel?"

"No, I haven't thought up your novel yet."

Mu Jingchi's eyes fell on Xu Zheng, "She is Song Xiaoyi, you should have heard, my girlfriend."

"She also likes acting, so she's a member of the film and television industry, right? If the timing is right, director Xu can help." Mu Jingchi is not in this industry, so it's okay to ask Xu Zheng to take care of her a little bit.

"It should be, it should be."

Song Xiaoyi shook her head, "Don't worry too much, I'm taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and after graduate school, I will mainly focus on drama. I don't pay much attention to film and television."

She likes acting and savors the feeling of thousands of lives, not the feeling of enjoying the spotlight.It is good to choose one of drama and film and television, and it may be equally rare to take care of both at the same time.

Furthermore, she can also take on variety shows, which is enough exposure.

Mu Jingchi naturally cooperated with Song Xiaoyi, "There is a suitable role for her to try, there is no need to take care of her."

Hearing what the two said, Xu Zheng knew what he was saying, which was basically the truth.

"OK, no problem."

There was no need for him to refuse this way of building a good relationship.

After chatting for a few words, the second "Ex Machina" officially started.

The movie "Ex Machina" actually has a lot of logical problems. For example, artificial intelligence has been developed, but it still uses card recognition, not to mention gait and iris recognition, how about voice fingerprint recognition?
And as a big boss, what does it mean to drink too much every day?Just to create conditions for the male protagonist to interact with artificial intelligence?
And the final ending, the big boss was directly killed by artificial intelligence, isn't that too easy?And there is no master control switch if there is previous experience of artificial intelligence development failure?
These various small details affect the look and feel of the movie, but these details can be changed. As long as the core conceptual problems are correct, then "Ex Machina" will still be a wonderful movie.

It's not about these small problems, but the struggle between artificial intelligence and human beings.

Artificial intelligence is trying every possible means to plot against human beings; but human beings foolishly believe that artificial intelligence is stupid.
