In the next three days, Zhao Ziluo refused most of the invitations, unless they were acquaintances or those who had to attend.
I spent three days writing the script in the hotel.
With the idea of the original work, it is not difficult to adapt it. And the more he wrote, the more exciting he felt!
The style is very different from the original work, but the more I write, the more exciting it becomes! Read the book
Three days and three days and three days and three days and three days... When he came out of the hotel, he realized that two weeks had passed before he knew it!
The entire script finally has a general framework!
He didn't tell anyone else, but he spoke to Bob and the others and returned to America together. …
"Congratulations!" As soon as he stepped into the "Star Wars" crew office, Mason walked over with a big smile and gave Zhao Ziluo a hug excitedly.
"Artist..." After the hug ended, he patted Zhao Ziluo on the shoulder: "I never thought that I could hire an artist at this price! Hey, friend, you don't seem to be in good spirits?"
For two consecutive weeks, I went to bed at 3 or 4 o'clock every day, and my biological clock was messed up. How could I feel better?
However, my mental outlook is not very good.
Zhao Ziluo was actually very excited. After exchanging pleasantries, he took out a stack of information and slapped it on the table.
"This is?"
Zhao Ziluo raised his chin proudly: "We are about to collaborate on a TV series!"
"I never promised." Mason said with a smile: "Don't try to seduce me easily. My goals are "Three Body" and "The Wandering Earth"!"
"When you left, I had already read half of it. I have to say, Zhao, you are a born master of science fiction! I am so amazed by your imagination!"
Of course it's stunning.
"Star Wars" was originally planned to officially start filming on May 20th, but has been delayed again and again. Mason has stolen a lot of things from Xiao Zhao. Many previously built sets and props were completely reworked!
It is estimated that reworked scenes and props actually reached 10% of the total!
Zhao Ziluo didn't care, but he didn't agree to the most classic water droplets and dimensionality reduction strikes - Mason was crazy about trying to present this scene in Star Wars, and he was going crazy.
Zhuyu comes first. If Zhao Ziluo's script is not as good as his cosmic tetralogy, no matter how good the relationship is, Mason will not nod.
He picked up the script and read it carefully.
After just five minutes of watching, his eyes lit up.
"Um?"
He glanced at Zhao Ziluo in surprise: "You also do research on artificial intelligence?"
Zhao Ziluo smiled and nodded.
Westworld was chosen because of Mason’s resume.
The name "Father of Science Fiction" is not called for nothing. "Star Wars" set off a craze for science fiction around the world, and Mason's popularity was unparalleled for a while!
But at that time, he was not recognized as the world's number one director.
More than 20 years ago, he filmed a movie about artificial intelligence - "The End".
It is about a future where computers generate consciousness and massacre human beings. And humans also have a resistance army, constantly resisting computers. The computer sent out a super robot, which looked exactly like a human, and went back in time to assassinate the leader of the resistance army after hours.
"The End" 1 and 2, all produced by Mason, grossed nearly 3 billion in box office worldwide! Completely put him on the altar!
So far, this box office is an unsurpassable milestone!
Facing plots related to artificial intelligence, he will naturally be interested!
"Let's see first." Zhao Ziluo smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
It’s all artificial intelligence, and “Westworld” is not that simple!
Mason continued to look down.
Ten minutes later, he took a deep breath, raised his head again, and looked at Zhao Ziluo in surprise.
He wanted to say something, but ended up not saying it and continued reading.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes...
The only sound left in the room was the sound of paper being brushed. It took more than thirty minutes before Mason breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on his chair with his eyes closed, and fell into
meditation.
Zhao Ziluo didn't rush the other party. After waiting for another ten minutes, Mason finally opened his eyes.
"You are such a genius!!" He slammed the table, his face flushed with excitement: "Can you tell me what you think about it?"
Zhao Ziluo nodded and said: "First of all, for this TV series, we adopt the method of co-production but separate filming."
This word was convoluted and had never appeared before, but Mason, who had read the script, was thoughtful and did not object immediately.
"Simulated Earth is a huge paradise, divided into two major plates: Asia-Pacific and Western Continent." ap..
"Both of our parts are co-produced, but separate filming is..."
Zhao Ziluo said in a deep voice: "The plots of the two sides are separated!"
"What is being played in Xilu is the plot of Xilu - the story that happened in Xilu's 'Simulated Earth'!" "
"What is being broadcast in Asia-Pacific is the story of Asia-Pacific's 'Simulated Earth'!" "
"The core of both is the artificial intelligence system of 'Simulating Earth'! In the end, the two parties will come together to solve the problem! "
Having said this, he praised himself in his heart!
With the same background, Xilu and Asia-Pacific are different stories!
Both parties will eventually take the road of facing artificial intelligence! But the paths for both parties are different!
They will eventually meet in one place to complete the final ending of the TV series. Some of their experiences will involve each other, but most of them are independent stories!
If you only read one side of the story, you won't be able to understand the whole story of the TV series, but it is an extremely complete TV series - let's put it this way, the West China and Asia-Pacific versions are each other's extra chapters!
Only after watching these two movies can you fully understand this TV series!
"Westworld" is about humans creating a simulated real-person game based on artificial intelligence and divided into several major parts of the world.
The real people inside are all played by robots with artificial intelligence!
However, it is a place for humans to have their catharsis - humans can do anything in it! Including but not limited to rape, torture, and humiliation of robots!
The robots will give corresponding feedback, and each robot even has its own complete plot, but they are still dead objects after all.
Until one day, robots that received too many negative emotions and desires from humans became self-aware.
They learned to resist.
This is a genius idea! Jonathan is truly a genius screenwriter!
Looking at science fiction films on Earth, artificial intelligence appears very frequently, and almost every science fiction film can be tainted with artificial intelligence.
However, there are only a handful of films that are so straightforward and delve into artificial intelligence so deeply!
It really puts the core on the four words artificial intelligence, rather than as a setting like other science fiction movies and TV shows.
Zhao Ziluo's inspiration for splitting and co-shooting came from the fact that Western World is divided into multiple sections.
He thought at the time: Since it is divided into multiple sections, different stories will definitely happen in other sections.
So, why can’t there be an Asia-Pacific sector?
This is a TV series that I filmed myself!
This is private goods.
For example, in American movies and TV shows, white people always save the world. On Earth, if a Hollywood blockbuster features a non-white person saving the world, it would be considered abnormal. (before political correctness)
This is the power of cultural export.
Now, Zhao Ziluo also has this opportunity, so of course he has to bring his own private goods with him!
White people, whose history is far older than that of yellow people, can do it, so why can’t Chinese people do it?
You, the monk, can touch it, but I, Ah Q, cannot?
Moreover, his screenwriter also included other private goods!
For example, he set up that each section of the artificial intelligence world is managed by different directors, and the ones in Xilu are just for venting. The Chinese artificial intelligence world is a feudal world!
In the end, it was also affected by the collapse of the artificial intelligence world in Xilu that he gained self-awareness and began to
Resist China.
Doesn't it look bad?
In fact, feudal society, as a system that once existed, is well accepted by people.
Even if he assumes that the Chinese people are high-ranking princes and nobles, they are very indifferent to the lives of the common people (artificial intelligence) below.
That is much better than using Xilu just for venting and turning the artificial intelligence world into a dark world! Read the book
This is private goods!
You can't say the screenwriter has ulterior motives, don't ask.
Asking is for artistic expression.
Why do art workers on earth have the disgusting aesthetic of Asians squinting their eyes?
Do not ask.
Asking is the multifaceted nature of aesthetics.
Zhao Ziluo communicated with Mason in detail. Of course, he omitted his personal belongings. And Mason also greatly appreciated the setting of this film!
Big scenes, yes.
Intention, yes!
Storytelling, more!
"Especially two countries and two systems, but both have caused artificial intelligence attacks. This setting... is so interesting!" Mason couldn't help but patted the armrest and said excitedly: "There is still a lot to think about in this script. The place...oh! Damn it!"
He suddenly cursed. Before Zhao Ziluo could figure it out, the other party immediately said, "When do you plan to shoot?"
Zhao Ziluo replied: "I will stay on the Star Wars crew for another month and a half and use this time to enrich the plot."
Oriental plots need to be written by him personally.
But it doesn’t matter. The foundation of earth’s art is too strong. Since the eastern artificial intelligence world is a feudal system, he can find too many templates on earth!
When I think about it, after the broadcast started, a young man was painting at the beginning and was suddenly besieged by countless assassins. The young master took out his machine gun and fired. After the assassin died, mechanical instruments could be seen in the wound.
Then he shouted outside the image: "There is a BUG, drag it down and deal with it."
The sense of dislocation in time and space, the impact of ancient and modern cultures, makes me feel hot all over just thinking about it!
Mason sighed, "What a shame."
Zhao Ziluo understood immediately and said with a smile: "Don't worry. I will mainly cooperate with Huoxing in this drama, you only need to show your name."
Mason frowned. He really liked this script and didn't want to fake it!
"...You can leave the west to me. You shoot the east first..."
He's still struggling.
Zhao Ziluo said regretfully: "I originally thought that you would shoot Westworld, but it would be broadcast in the Asia-Pacific. I would shoot the Eastern World and broadcast it in the West."
Another layer of dislocation!
There is also a clash of cultures! tolerate!
The more Mason listened, the more interested he became. He rubbed his hands and said, "How about... you wait a year?"
"No, China's manned moon landing is imminent. This is my sci-fi practice. I will try to get it out before October 1!"
"To be honest, I've been back for two weeks this time and the TV station has already started preparations."
He didn't lie to Mason.
Considering his own schedule, after deciding to split the shooting in the east and west, he immediately informed Wang Si to prepare to build the palace. Moreover, the concept drawing has been handed over to a professional studio, and samples will probably be available in a few days!
