In the past few days, apart from going to the studio to shoot, he stayed in the hotel, repeatedly reading the script given by Director Zhu, and trying to figure out the heart of the character Qin Yi.
Lu Zhiyao felt inexplicably depressed because he had been stuck in the room.
However, this depressed state of mind is exactly what he wants.
Throughout the movie, Qin Yi has been in the command cabin and cannot communicate with other people, let alone go out. For a soldier who has been fighting on the front line for a long time, this is obviously a very annoying thing.
Moreover, Qin Yi is under tremendous mental pressure in the movie. His every move determines the lives of countless soldiers and even the survival of the entire human civilization. The mental pressure will only be greater.
If he cannot express this mental state well, then Lu Zhiyao's performance will be unqualified.
Therefore, Lu Zhiyao has been playing games in the house these days, just to better understand Qin Yi's mental state.
But I always feel like something is missing.
After completing today's shooting task, Lu Zhiyao returned to the room as usual and forced himself to sit in front of the computer.
Although he was almost sick from playing the game, and he was very tired after a day of filming and wanted to rest, Lu Zhiyao knew very well that the state at this time was the closest to Qin Yi, and he had to remember this mentality.
However, as soon as he sat down, he noticed that there seemed to be something extra in the room.
He lived in a suite, and his computer was placed on the desk in the living room. At this time, there was a fully automatic bar lift machine on the ground next to the desk, the sound bar was connected to the computer, and two other small surround speakers were playing
Behind him, on the cabinet opposite the desk.
Obviously, the staff helped put this new smart bar lift machine in during the day.
Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Isn’t this the aeeis physical smart speaker that I requested before?
Great, we can play together!
What troubled Lu Zhiyao the most before was that he was not actually acting in a one-man show, but in a rivalry with aeeis. But when filming, all the scenes were green screens, and the rivalry scenes were all based on imagination. How could he act like this?
Even if you can find other people to act with you, there is still a big gap between the voice of a person reading the lines and the voice of aeeis.
Now that there is an entity of aeeis, as long as you enter all the lines, you can play the scene over and over again!
Lu Zhiyao looked at this fully automatic intelligent bar lifter. From the appearance, it was just a huge black box. The top had an automatic bar lift function. The lower part was the bass part of the sound bar. There was also a luminous ring on the front.
, can prompt that aeeis is talking.
There is a note on the fully automatic bar lift machine that reads: "Say 'aeeis, return to the original image' to it and you can start the show."
Lu Zhiyao remembered clearly that this was not Qin Yi's first line. Before this line, Aeeis had two or three conversations with Qin Yi in a female form.
But this line was a turning point. From then on, aeeis turned into a cold electronic sound, and the play between Lu Zhiyao and it officially began.
At present, all the lines of aeeis in all the scripts Lu Zhiyao has received should have been entered into the system. After detecting Lu Zhiyao speaking, aeeis will automatically reply to the next line.
Lu Zhiyao: "aeis, return to the original image."
aeeis: "Captain Qin Yi, maybe you are angry now, but mankind needs you to continue to fulfill your mission as a soldier..."
One person and one machine, you and I start a conversation sentence by sentence.
Don't tell me, it's really that interesting.
Lu Zhiyao used to perform in front of the air, and even if he acted in a scene, someone else would read his lines, and he didn't have that feeling. But now with the electronic sound tuned by aeeis, he quickly stepped into the role of Qin Yi in an instant.
After checking it several times, Lu Zhiyao planned to drink some water and rest for a while.
During the process of reviewing his lines, he changed several performance forms, and recorded the whole process of his performance with a camera. Now I just want to watch all the videos and check for any omissions.
But after watching the video several times, Lu Zhiyao still felt that there was something lacking in his performance.
This feeling is very strange, because Lu Zhiyao has been trying hard to express various emotions that Qin Yi may have, including happiness, anger, sadness, determination, etc., but he still feels that something is missing.
What is missing?
Or is this just an illusion?
Lu Zhiyao turned over the note aimlessly and found another sentence on the back: "You can tell aeeis to 'enter the argument mode' to relax."
"Um?"
“What is the leverage mode?”
Although I don’t know what the specific function is, I feel very interesting when I hear the name “Argument Mode”!
Lu Zhiyao immediately said: "aeis, enter the argument mode."
aeeis: "Well, there are always self-righteous humans who want to start this boring game, do you think you are smart?"
Lu Zhiyao: "?"
…
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Zhiyao silently lit a cigarette and began to think about life.
What is it like to be silenced by an artificial intelligence?
Originally, Lu Zhiyao thought that aeeis's so-called confrontation mode was a gimmick. Even if he could barely compete with humans at the beginning, he would soon be defeated and say "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."
As a result, I never expected that aeeis would be so aggressive and directly bullied Lu Zhiyao into doubting his life!
As soon as the argument started, aeeis began to ask aggressive questions. Lu Zhiyao tried his best to deny it, but no matter how much he denied it, aeeis cleverly forced him into a corner and was abused unilaterally.
Then, Lu Zhiyao couldn't bear it and started a quarrel with aeeis, making crazy personal attacks on the machine. Unexpectedly, aeeis was completely unmoved and continued to speak to Lu Zhiyao at a constant speed and calm tone.
IQ to carry out attacks from multiple angles.
In this confrontation, Lu Zhiyao was quickly defeated, became hopeless, and began to think about many life and philosophical issues.
Of course, these questions also include "How much does the cheating machine cost?" "Do you need compensation after it is smashed?" "Will the smashing of the cheating machine become a scandal if word spreads about it?" etc.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lu Zhiyao's mind.
"I see, I understand what is missing!"
"In previous performances, I couldn't express my emotions properly for aeeis!"
Lu Zhiyao suddenly woke up.
All previous performances were shot against a green screen, and aeeis' lines were all spoken to by the staff, so Lu Zhiyao spent most of his energy trying to figure out Qin Yi's own mentality.
The character Qin Yi has a very complicated experience, and also experienced very complicated mental fluctuations in the plot. Lu Zhiyao needs to take care of all aspects of the content, so Qin Yi's emotions towards aeeis were inadvertently left out!
In other words, although Lu Zhiyao had already realized that this was a rivalry scene between himself and aeeis, he did not understand it deeply enough. He was too indulged in exploring the heart of the character Qin Yi, but ignored the role of aeeis in the rivalry scene.
Lu Zhiyao hurriedly dug out the script again and read aeeis' lines again.
Obviously, the subjective intention of aeeis is something Lu Zhiyao has been ignoring before!
As an artificial intelligence, aeeis's emotionless electronic voice made Lu Zhiyao subconsciously regard it as a tool. However, after arguing with aeeis, Lu Zhiyao suddenly realized that it was not a tool, but also had a purpose and tendency.
of!
The same is true in movies.
The aeeis in the movie actually influenced Qin Yi’s ideas at many key nodes, such as:
When adding "simulation elements", aeeis used specific data such as "morale will collapse if the ancient battle loss rate exceeds 5%" to make Qin Yi more clearly aware of the increase in difficulty in the simulation mode;
When Qin Yi felt frustrated because of his failure, aeeis reminded him in a timely manner that the accuracy of data analysis had reached more than 87%, which could be used as a reference and objectively played a inducing role;
When the couple died, Aeeis's first reaction was to cover up the truth, explaining it as "random and unpredictable behaviors and phenomena of intelligent systems, used to simulate emergencies on the real battlefield";
After Qin Yi questioned this, it took a while for Aeeis to admit that Qin Yi was directing the real battle...
Similar places abound.
Every line of aeeis in the movie actually promotes the plot. A large part of the lines directly affects Qin Yi's mentality and cognition, and there are a few lines that seem to hide more content.
For example, Qin Yi asked aeeis if the couple were real people, and it took a while for aeeis to answer.
Since it is artificial intelligence and all responses are calculated through programs, then according to common sense, no matter what question it is, it should be answered immediately.
This "a period of time" can actually lead to many things, and Qin Yi should also respond to this.
Even a subtle expression is more reasonable than not being aware of it at all.
Obviously, Lu Zhiyao's previous performances had a lot of shortcomings in this aspect. Although he knew very well that he was playing a rivalry with aeeis, he did not really convey the essence of this rivalry, so he
I feel like something is missing.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but excitedly knocked on the table.
"By the way, this is what is missing!"
"When I was performing before, I was still too obsessed with exploring the inner parts of my character, and I didn't really treat aeeis as an intelligent being."
"Now that I'm being silenced by aeeis, it makes me realize this, which is very important!"
Once you find the crux of the problem, the next step will be easier.
Lu Zhiyao cheered up again and said to aeeis: "aeeis, return to the original image!"
aeeis: "Captain Qin Yi, maybe you are angry now, but mankind needs you to continue to fulfill your mission as a soldier..."
One person, one machine, and the conversation begins again.
