After the first script of June Dream was written, Yin Lian thought about it again and again, named it "Every Day", and then made a list of the performers needed. What makes her feel more hesitant is whether the actor of the robot nanny should directly choose the ready-made standard nanny AI system or choose a real actor to play the role.
If you choose the former, the advantage is that it is more restored and the situation will appear more real. And if you choose real actors, you can show an image that is higher than reality to a certain extent. In essence, any artistic creation should not reflect the complete "event", but more the fate, will, spirit, and emotions that are above the event. These cannot be photographed by respecting reality, but need more and more Complex expression techniques.
But Yin Lian thought about it again and again, and finally decided to use a program to perform it temporarily.
The reason is very practical, because the level of an actor who can completely imitate the behavior of a robot, but can also express emotions that are not inconsistent with existence and exists between existence and non-existence is too high, and Yin Lian doesn't think he can find it. On the contrary, an AI-controlled character that can only show the behavior and reactions that a robot should have, although it cannot perform beyond expectations, can at least guarantee "true performance." Yin Lian can ensure this by controlling the performances and editing techniques of other actors.
Having said that, this is the first time that she is involved in a completely original work (including performance). In fact, she is a bit nervous in every sense, and her attitude is much more cautious than usual.
Excluding those passerby characters that can be completed by choosing the standard module, there are four main characters that Yin Lian has to choose, namely the father, mother, son, and daughter as a family. Xia Guo's actors are not subject to age restrictions, which actually widens Yin Lian's choices to a large extent. Otherwise, you don't have to think about it, how difficult it would be to choose a child actor with acting skills and just the right temperament.
In addition, Yin Lian also made a special trip to visit the national character skin library. She used to use licensed materials that came with various software. This was the first time she came to such an official authorized library, and she fell in love with it after looking around.
The authorization library classifies the character's appearance by price. There are also virtual and real characters. There are more real characters and fewer virtual ones. The quantities are arranged in a pyramid pattern according to the price. The highest-end characters have the least quantity. Not surprisingly, Yin Lian found that she was It is ranked first on the best-seller list - but it is her who has the least number of purchases in history, and this is natural.
However, she was not interested in her own character image. Instead, she walked around in a circle with great interest, visiting the surrounding characters one by one.
To put it bluntly, there are thousands of skins in the skin library, all of which are beauties with different ages, temperaments, and genders. Moreover, as far as the texture of this model is concerned... all of them are without makeup!
Yin Lian was simply shocked.
Although she didn't wear makeup when she was enrolled, Yin Lian thought that she had a special physique and her skin was already in good condition. Moreover, she was at this age, so the benefits of not wearing makeup were higher. Secondly, it was because of the technology of this era. If it is developed, it may be possible to process it directly through data later.
But now it seems that is not the case.
Yin Lian walked around the pile of models and observed each one in detail. She could see that most of these models' skins were in excellent condition, but if they were zoomed in and observed, the pores could still be seen - this was not the effect of makeup.
There are also a few models that have some special flaws, and the official does not do much to cover up such flaws.
However, for this type of character, Yin Lian feels that these flaws do not damage the beauty of the image in a sense, but instead look like they tell a story.
Of course, even without makeup at all, it does not detract from the beauty of all the images here. Yin Lian felt that bringing any of the characters here back to Earth would put the domestic idol stars to shame. Because these characters are really beautiful, and they are not the "standard facial features" targeted by plastic surgery or makeup. They are the kind of handsome guys and beauties who are highly recognizable and have strong characteristics and personal temperament.
Various styles.
After Yin Lian watched the characters in this batch, she realized why Xia Guo prefers the input of real-life models. Obviously their technology is very advanced and they can create a variety of virtual characters that are just like the real ones... But there are always some people who are... The natural beauty of bells cannot be imitated or manufactured by crude labor.
To create such a character requires not only technology and highlights, but also the artistic beauty endowed by nature.
However, although Yin Lian was amazed by the characters in this category, he had no intention of buying them. She could afford to spend the money, but as her mentor advised, it was completely meaningless for her to spend the money now.
After that, she visited the skin libraries of the next few levels, including virtual ones, and finally targeted the character library of 1-10 yuan. Although it is said to be 1-10 yuan, it is actually a library of ten levels. There are so many characters in it that Yin Lian can hardly see them.
Although the price is low, there is actually no ugly person here, at least it is clear and clear. There are actors with very distinctive looks, but Yin Lian feels that they are not ugly, but rather have a non-mainstream sense of beauty.
But she didn't have time to read them one by one. After screening some of them, she wrote down the numbers of a large number of alternatives and left first.
She decided to follow her mentor's advice and select the actors herself.
She first went to the first website recommended by the teacher, called out the resume list and checked it for a long time. She selected some actors who were currently available and met their job search intentions and made an appointment.
Yin Lian's appearance would actually be very eye-catching if she were on Earth, but on Xia's Internet, there are many people who hide their appearance in this way, so the actors who came to meet her were not surprised. The two parties discussed their demands. Through the conversation with the other party, Yin Lian quickly understood what the instructor meant by "interviews are beneficial."
She asked: "It doesn't involve privacy, it's just a plot requirement. I want to ask, have you ever experienced being raised by a nanny robot when you were a child?"
Although the actors were a little surprised by this question, they still answered it.
Although Yin Lian's question sounds a bit strange, it is actually normal for the director to ask any questions, especially about plot-related experiences.
In Xia Guo's case, it seems that being raised by nanny robots is a relatively common thing. Even if both parents are present at home, many children are raised by nanny robots. Therefore, many of the actors Yin Lian met are Answered in the affirmative.
Yin Lian asked them again how they felt about being raised by nanny robots.
Answers in this regard also vary.
"I felt very lonely at one time. Because nanny robots don't have high emotional intelligence. Although they can help complete a lot of work, they don't have much communication with me. My parents were affected by some news and public opinions at the time and felt that Nanny robots can be used to provide emotional education to children, so I bought a nanny robot that does not have any emotion module and only comes with the minimum default simulation program. They themselves are often not at home, and the presence of the robot is almost as if it is not there. , speaking in standard sentence patterns, and it is difficult to carry out basic communication.”
"But even so, to tell you the truth, when I am alone, I will still talk to him, even if it doesn't make any sense."
Another person said: "At that time, I didn't have anyone else to communicate with. Although the intelligence of the nanny robot was very low, I would still talk to him when I had nothing to do. It may make many people think it's ridiculous to say it, but I really She feels like part of my family. In fact, she still does, and I even got her a new system this year.”
"I don't know if other people have such an experience... There is a period of time when you experience setbacks or are sick and feel very painful. But she will stay with you sleeplessly. Although she has almost no feelings, she will When you tell her, 'I feel bad,' she will ask you over and over again: Where do you feel bad? Then she will take care of you and watch you take medicine. She will also clumsily comfort you when you cry."
"Of course I know they have no intelligence. But even so, she has always been by my side."
Some people have a completely different attitude: "I hate nanny robots. To be honest, I once resented my parents. Nanny robots cannot replace parents at all."
Another said:
"I don't have a nanny robot. My parents take care of us personally. My family's situation is quite special. My parents' jobs are relatively easy. Although they don't make much, they enjoy family life more. I also feel that I am happier this way. . But among my friends, there are indeed many people who grew up taking care of nanny robots. After all, their parents are busy at work, so there is nothing they can do about it."
"But I am very opposed to the statement that 'emotional education by robots is not good for children.' If one day my work improves, becomes very busy, and has my own children but cannot take care of them myself, I will definitely give the nanny robot Equipped with the highest-end emotional module. In the final analysis, refusing the robot nanny to educate children emotionally is because they are afraid that children will become emotionally dependent on robots. This is just because some people are unwilling to admit their dereliction of duty as parents. Even if the robot is allowed to provide emotional education, It’s better than letting children lack emotional education!”
"Doing so is another sign of disqualification as a parent."
Yin Lian agreed with the actor's ideas and felt that he was clear-minded and upright, so he crossed him off the candidate list.
However, she did write down the other party's communication method, and maybe she could contact him again when she needed other characters in the future.
