China's film and television industry has been developing at a rapid pace in recent years.
Except for some reasons in the middle years, the total national box office has been increasing at other times.
This benefits from the increase in urbanization and overall consumption levels, as well as the progress of China's film industry.
From another level, China's film industry's ability to export to the outside world has been weakening.
This does not mean that Chinese films have won very few awards at major international film festivals in recent years. Such awards are only a very one-sided part of their external export capabilities.
But compared with Korean movies, China's film industry has not made any splash on a global scale.
Chinese TV series can also radiate to ASEAN countries. The radiation here is a long-term and stable output capability.
Chinese films cannot even reach their own traditional cultural sphere of influence.
Real idols, China will agree, they want to use this as a test.
Starting with the film and television industry, the subsequent impact of virtual reality will involve all aspects of society, while real idols can be controlled in a limited number of aspects.
China has always hoped that its culture can go global, and has made many attempts at the official level.
Among the three countries in East Asia, it is incomparable to Goryeo and Neon.
The main reason is that China’s control over the cultural industry does not have a clear boundary.
Moreover, the gradual tightening of standards is not just a problem faced by China. Other countries also face similar problems, but in different forms.
Take Korea for example. Since 2008, Korea has gradually tightened its control over speech standards. According to a report from a Washington-based non-profit organization called Freedom House:
Press control in Goryeo dropped from free to partial freedom.
Later, after Moon Jae-in came to power, he further strengthened media censorship by snooping on server traffic.
China hopes that technological progress will bring about changes in the entire industry.
In the past, investing in a film and television production required tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds. Because there was no clear scope of control, the risks were extremely high.
Now that we have real idols, we can produce a film and television work without spending even one million, which is a huge benefit to the film and television industry.
It’s impossible for you to invest in ten works and have all ten works banned, right?
In addition, the uncontrollable phenomenon of actors has also been completely curbed, and I don’t need real people to star in movies at all.
Just let avatars act in all of them. The avatars can't go whoring, gambling, etc. The avatars can just do it if they want to do it.
With real idols, the industry will become an era of complete product competition.
The living space of the little fresh meat will be greatly compressed.
"I would say that this is the first time in so many years that our company has developed black technology at the software level."
“Before it was always at the hardware level.”
"Who said that? The underlying logic of brain-computer connection technology has been clearly understood by popular science. In fact, brain-computer connection technology was originally an algorithm application at the software level."
"Yes, but this time the real idol is not like our company's style. Which R&D team do you think secretly created it?"
"Future Research Institute? Since the Future Research Institute has been established, it has recruited so many PhDs and even professors every year. It should have achieved some results."
"possible."
Domestic Internet giants have their own high-end research institutions that specialize in cutting-edge scientific research.
Ali's Dharma Academy and Huawei's 2012 Laboratory are relatively famous.
The main thing is that the name is chosen well, so that people feel different when they hear it.
For example, the research institution of Gouchang is directly called Gouchang Research Institute. In fact, it was established much earlier than Damo Academy and 2012 Laboratory.
The main reason is that the name was chosen poorly, and the outside world didn't know much about it.
Sci-Tech Biotechnology naturally has its own research institution, called the Future Research Institute.
The Institute for the Future is well-known internally for its treatment.
“It is possible that the industrial artificial intelligence we are working on with Huawei is led by the Future Research Institute.
It is estimated that the real idol this time was also developed by the Future Research Institute. "
"Again, I secretly put up a satellite, and I didn't even hear a sound."
"I just tried it, and it's really amazing. You can create a 3D character in VR, and then let this virtual image replace other original characters."
"Import the original video?"
"Yes, import the original video and then specify the character to replace it."
"Then the film and television works that were previously removed from the shelves due to casting issues, can't they be put on the shelves with a different person?"
"Theoretically, it's absolutely possible."
"Obsolete film and television works have been revived after being renovated. How does it sound to me that they are renovating the same routine as the old games?"
"This is a business opportunity, and I want to do it."
There have been game companies in China that have discovered business opportunities a long time ago and specialize in resurrecting some old online games in new servers.
They will make some targeted modifications to old online games, such as adding functions, solving compatibility problems, optimizing graphics, etc.
Even so, the cost of optimizing an old online game is far lower than the cost of reopening a new game.
In fact, this gameplay can be traced back to Legend. This game still appears in game advertisements every day to this day.
All kinds of outdated artists support it.
As people working in the Internet industry, we quickly realized that this was an opportunity. Renovating film and television works is the same as renovating online games, and film and television works are even more profitable.
"Since this is an opportunity, it will inevitably open up the situation."
"It's not just remakes of film and television works that have been taken off the shelves. Film and television works that are screened normally and have good scripts can also replace actors you don't like with avatars."
"For example, when Director Guo was a kid, would it look much better if these actors were replaced with avatars?"
"No, you are wrong. When Director Guo was a child, people only watched bad acting. Who would watch it if his acting was good?"
"But this is indeed the way to go. Jin Yong's martial arts remakes have been made one after another, and there are still TV stations who will buy them."
"The application Real Idol can also optimize the video picture, right? If you change the face and optimize the picture effect, who can still tell that it is the original film and television work?"
"Damn it, this shouldn't be called a real idol, it should be called a core button in the entertainment industry!"
“It’s just a bit expensive. You pay monthly, and the monthly fee is 10,000 yuan.
Then if you want to export the edited video, it costs one hundred yuan per minute.
In other words, you can edit the video and watch it yourself, but if you want to export it and put it on a video website, you have to pay extra. "
"In other words, individual users basically don't want to use it, and only commercial institutions can afford it."
“Not necessarily, some rich people can afford it, or some big UP owners can definitely afford it.
This price is not expensive to be honest. "
"The production cost of a TV series twenty years ago was at least one hundred yuan per second."
A half-hour TV series costs 180,000 yuan, which is already a bargain.
“I think the most important thing is that for the authors, they upload the text directly and it can automatically generate TV series for them.
Aren’t these Chendong Potatoes taking off on the spot?
Originally the most difficult thing to do was the special effects, but now Kechuang Biotech will directly help you do all the special effects.
For the price of one hundred a minute, you can make things like Holy Ruins and Covering the Sky. "
"There is also the Three-Body Problem. Finally, we no longer have to see the little fresh meat and the paralyzed facial monsters causing harm to the Three-Body Problem!"
Lao Ma was different from the young people in the group. The more he watched, the more frightened he became. This thing could cut off the livelihood of all actors.
More than just fresh meat, there will be no need for actors in the future.
I just don’t know what the upper limit of a real idol is.
But for commercial films, acting skills are not required.
After a morning of fermentation, some actors gradually realized this.
Because their agency has already begun to sign a supplementary agreement with them regarding avatars.
The agency's sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of these artists.
However, in most artists' agreements, the virtual image has already been licensed to the economic company.
In recent years, NFT products about celebrity images or their roles have been released from time to time, and some NFT products have even sold a lot of sales.
Brokerage companies have long realized that the virtual images of their artists are equally valuable.
What was signed this time was only a supplementary agreement, which further expanded the definition and scope of the virtual image.
The entire film and television industry, from upstream distribution companies to downstream brokerage companies, has been plunged into a major earthquake.
"Yushou, after the real idol comes out, all of us will stop taking vacations and return to work immediately."
A blogger who works in a film company posted that she often shares her work and life on Weibo.
In addition, the nature of her work means that she often has access to celebrities, and there are also some gossips that ordinary people cannot know.
Therefore, she has a lot of active followers, almost 20,000 active followers.
Every time I post on Weibo, there are dozens of comments below.
Active fans and the kind of fans who are instantly recognized are completely different concepts.
After she posted on Weibo, fans quickly commented below:
"Hahaha, we are all in the same boat, and so is our company. Let everyone return to work." This was the comment made by colleagues who followed her on Weibo.
"Is it such a big impact?"
"All my friends in the entertainment industry have gone back to work overtime."
“The melon-eating bloggers I follow are all discussing the impact of this incident.”
"In the end, it was not the new meat that killed the fresh meat, but the avatars that crossed over."
"Kechuang Biology is too ruthless. If you don't take action, it will be a dead end."
The blogger posted another long Weibo post in the evening:
"Dear fans, I am really sorry, I have been in a meeting this morning to write a report.
Our company will first hold a group meeting to let everyone talk about their views on real idols. Then everyone will write a report and let the department head summarize it and submit it.
Said to brainstorm ideas.
In short, this is the first time I have seen this situation since I came to this company. Because we have a parent company behind us, no matter what the storms in the entertainment industry are, it cannot affect us.
This time is unprecedented.
First of all, let’s draw a conclusion. The real idol application developed by Kechuang Biotech this time will subvert the entire film and television industry, and even the entertainment industry.
The actors don't need to appear, they just need to show their faces and that's it.
At the same time, film and television companies will become a complete Red Sea market, just like online writing, anyone can do it. This is the Red Sea market.
I bought a membership of a real idol myself, and then bought the copyright of an online article that I admired, and then based on the online article, I changed the story to be more in line with the rhythm of film and television works.
Then just input the script directly and wait for the film and television works to be output.
You put out three episodes first, which is a 90-minute drama to test the water, and then continue to release it if the effect is good.
In other words, you only need a production cost of 19,000 yuan, and at the same time, if you go to Jinjiang to buy an ordinary online text copyright, you can get it for tens of thousands of yuan.
You can test the waters by spending less than 100,000 yuan.
In the past, online articles focused on three golden chapters, but now TV dramas focus on three golden episodes.
If you can't attract viewers in the first three episodes, there's no point in continuing.
As for the original practitioners in the film and television industry, everyone can go wherever they come from.
The same is true for TV series and movies.
From now on, it will be an era when theater chains are king. Of course, there are not many good days for theater chains.
When Kechuang Biotech’s virtual reality equipment comes out at the end of this year, I estimate that the good days of theaters will be over.
I have also communicated with my friends in the film and television industry, and everyone has only one feeling, that is, winter is coming.
As for the actors, they only need to show their face, and they don’t even need to show their face.
In the future, virtual idols will replace real idols.
However, programs and artists such as reality shows, variety shows, and talk shows will not be so affected.
In the past, they were at the bottom of the despised chain of the circle, but in the future they may be the only ones who can survive.
The premise is that real idols of scientific and technological creatures cannot produce variety shows.
Short videos will not be affected in a short period of time.
This is good news for those who like TV shopping. In the future, everyone will be able to see all the big and small celebrities shooting short videos and live broadcasting to bring goods.
No matter you are a movie fan, a TV fan, or a fresh young person, you can all come to my live broadcast to bring goods.
This is a huge benefit for the platform. Like iQiyi, Qiandu has been moribund in recent years because Qiandu has no money to give it and lacks investment.
Youku is already dying.
Now that production costs have dropped to tens of thousands of yuan, they can shoot three episodes of a TV series to test the waters, which is a huge benefit for them.
Film and television platform works are the source of living water. For them, there is now a steady stream of works. "
