The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 263 "Source Code" and "Suspect Tracking" linkage

As long as the TV series of DreamWorks do not open their mouths, they will not worry about selling, so they quickly reached deals for "Black Mirror" with major platforms.

As usual, Station C invested by Penguin Video, Huanshiwang and DreamWorks won the copyright for the online broadcast, and plans to broadcast it at the end of March, in the form of a weekly broadcast, with one episode updated every week.

In addition to the upcoming broadcast of "Black Mirror", "Suspect Tracker" completed the preparatory work a year ago, and the opening ceremony was held immediately after the year.

The investment of "Suspect Tracker" is much larger than that of "Black Mirror", with 20 episodes and a budget of close to 9000 million. Of course, the reason for the high cost is that apart from the larger scenes, the actors' remuneration is also very high.

The first season of "Suspect Tracker" invited Pan Yueming, Duan Yihong and Wu Yue, the heroine of "Gravity".

In last year's word-of-mouth movie "Scorching Sun", Duan Yihong gave a wonderful performance. Although he didn't have a particularly bright box office result, he is quite a popular actor in the market. It is hard to find both temperament and acting skills. alternatives.

Although he can't be regarded as a first-tier actor, he is still a strong second-tier actor.

And Pan Yueming has been a little quiet in recent years after experiencing the divorce turmoil, and has not received very good resources, but he can be regarded as a weak second-tier actor at present.

Wu Yue is also because she starred in the heroine of "Gravity", and she is the leading heroine. Although the movie has not yet been released, her celebrity status has also improved significantly. Of course, because it is a TV series of DreamWorks, she is also equivalent to friendship. Price starred.

Even so, with the addition of other actors, the total salary exceeds 2000 million. This is actually the result of the addition of the DreamWorks brand and the script, and the single-episode salary is only more than 100 million.

For these successful actors, there is no shortage of resources, but good resources are scarce.

As one of the few film companies in the film and television industry, or even the only film company that can provide high-quality resources, DreamWorks has very strong bargaining power.

Of course, it would be inappropriate to shoot the original version of "Suspect Tracker", so Chen Jingxing still made some magic changes to the script of this classic science fiction drama.

The background of this version of "Suspect Tracker" is arranged in the "Source Code" world.

The story takes place several years after the world of Source Code.

Although the explosion of radioactive bomb devices in the metropolis was avoided, KB attacks still occurred from time to time. In order to deal with this situation, the government developed a machine that can use big data to analyze all information in modern society, including ubiquitous surveillance. Information, telephone information and network information, so as to predict KB attack plans in advance and prevent KB attacks.

And inevitably, it is impossible for machines to precisely locate KB attacks, and KB attacks are also a crime.

In fact, the machine calculates all suspicious persons and closely related persons who premeditate crimes or may lead to crimes from massive information, and then screens out relevant persons involved in KB attack-level crimes according to the impact of different criminal acts, that is, "related list".

Other potential criminal incidents that do not reach the level of KB attacks are called "irrelevant lists".

This is actually a similar setting to Chen Jingxing's previous sci-fi classic "Minority Report". The setting in "Minority Report" is that with the development of science and technology, humans have invented a device that can detect people's brain waves. The "smart" robot - "prophet", "prophet" can detect people's criminal attempts, so before the criminal commits a crime, he has been arrested and sentenced by the police of the crime prevention organization.

Of course, the so-called "prophet" in the movie is actually not a machine, but three supernatural people. The three "prophets" together issue a crime prediction report. If there are different opinions among the three, the minority obeys the majority.

The machine that can "predict crime" in "Suspect Tracker" is a real machine, but the sci-fi classic "Minority Report" has not appeared in this plane, so this setting in "Suspect Tracker" is very novel.

However, in Chen Jingxing's script, although the machine invented to "prevent KB attacks" actually has the function of "predicting criminals", the official does not allow this function to be used.

Once this function is turned on, it may bring great legal, moral and ethical subversion to the entire society. The official is extremely cautious about this, so it closed this Pandora run-in, filtered out the "irrelevant list", and only issued the "relevant list". That is, the list of personnel related to the KB attack, and the "irrelevant list" will be automatically and permanently deleted by the machine at zero o'clock the next day.

This machine is so dangerous and so important that less than ten people, including the official special department and developers, know of its existence.

Pan Yueming is one of the main designers of this machine. He invented a set of heuristic algorithms and programmed the "machine". After six months of face, voice, gait recognition and tracking tests, he connected to Monitoring data and network information systems.

After that, Pan Yueming began to teach machines how to organize data and understand humans, and found that the correlation between information is very easy to identify abnormal individuals.

During a certain learning and assessment ability test, Pan Yueming discovered that the "machine" had developed an attachment to himself like a child to a parent. When he "predicted" that Pan Yueming's life was in danger, he did not hesitate to change its code and manipulate the traffic lights. , mobile phones and some vehicles that use the assisted driving function saved Pan Yueming from a car accident.

Pan Yueming believes that the "machine" is to protect the world, not a certain person, and the "feeling" that the machine has for an individual makes it interfere with the operation of human society beyond his red line of vigilance. The potential of the machine makes him Both worry and fear.

So Pan Yueming decided to let the machine delete itself at zero o'clock every day, keeping only relevant data and core codes, just like it automatically deletes those "irrelevant lists", so that the artificial intelligence born in his hands will always remain neutral and absolutely rational. It does not have feelings for anyone, including him, the designer.

After the system went online, the effect was very good, helping the authorities to prevent two KB attacks.

And Pan Yueming later discovered that his partner and close friend used the emergency plan as a "back door" to secretly obtain the "irrelevant list" that should have been deleted every day, and then tried to intervene and save those who were not attacked by KB. In anticipation of accidents or crimes, because of the tight protection and firewalls set up by the authorities, he can only obtain the ID numbers of criminals or victims of crimes that may occur.

After the incident was exposed, Pan Yueming and his best friend turned against each other because of their disagreement. Pan Yueming insisted that the machine should be used to prevent KB attacks, and not wantonly interfere with the normal operation of society. This will bring very dangerous consequences. There are so many accidents every day. Accidents, so many crimes, you can only intervene in one or two.

This is related to the nature of human beings. "The world is innocent" is a utopian fantasy. Even if the government is persuaded to take action and the machine is used as a "criminal prophet" to start arresting people through the list and sweeping away crime, then the utopia may not be realized, but it will be released. Pandora's box.

Pan Yueming revoked the authority of his friend who was also his partner for more than ten years, and drove him out of the company.

Unexpectedly, shortly after falling out with his friend, his best friend died in a crime. When Pan Yueming entered the machine and retrieved the "irrelevant list" that had not been deleted that day, he found that his best friend's ID number was in this "Irrelevant List".

When the "Irrelevant List" is related to him, the "Irrelevant List" is no longer a line of simple numbers.

The death of his best friend changed his concept. He is determined to inherit his best friend's last wish, even if he can't realize the utopia of "the world is innocent", but he can save one person.

The "irrelevant list" that appears every day and will be deleted at midnight the next day is no longer just a row of numbers in his eyes, but people who will lose their lives in accidents and crimes together.

The above is the overall setting background of this drama. These "anterior causes" will not be directly explained to the audience, but will be revealed little by little in the plot, and the story of "Suspect Tracker" will start from here. Pan Yueming Duan Yihong, an old detective who was fired for some reason and had solved many major cases, was selected.

Pan Yueming hired Duan Yihong to investigate and intervene in the "irrelevant list" generated by the machine.

The ID numbers given in the "Irrelevant List" are either potential criminals or victims of upcoming crimes, and these crimes are premeditated crimes, that is, crimes of passion. Information collection and analysis revealed that conflicts may erupt.

In short, in the first season, the rhythm of one episode and one case was basically maintained. Pan Yueming gave Duan Yihong a name and photo information every day, and then Duan Yihong tracked and investigated, or intervened to prevent crimes, or called the police in time to save people through official power. , to prevent the murder process.

Because according to the setting, the number on the "irrelevant list" may be the perpetrator or the victim, and there is also a situation where a person is both the perpetrator and the victim, and this needs to be investigated to determine and complete the target. The characters' relationships, current predicaments, and sources of potential danger.

Therefore, the plot is quite suspenseful. It is the process of the audience and the protagonists getting closer to the truth and discovering the truth, which has a strong sense of substitution.

Of course, after several cases, Duan Yihong also discovered that Pan Yueming, who was entrusted to him with tasks, was not an easy one. There are also various motives, which cannot be detected in advance by any informant or undercover agent.

So Duan Yihong also began to test and secretly investigate Pan Yueming and where the list Pan Yueming gave him came from.

At the same time, the ubiquitous traces of Duan Yihong, a former criminal policeman, in many cases, and the strangeness that he seems to be able to predict crimes have also attracted the attention of the police.

The criminal police captain played by Wu Yue also started cooperation, competition and exploration with Duan Yihong.

So this is a story of Pan Yueming, Duan Yihong and Wu Yue who cooperated, entangled, competed, discovered the truth, and finally became like-minded comrades-in-arms.

Of course, since "Suspect Tracker" is a magical drama, it will not just investigate cases, and there will be a magical turning point at the end of the first season.

In the last three episodes, Pan Yueming and Duan Yihong will find that the several "irrelevant lists" they investigated have mysterious connections with each other. It turns out that this is a "fishing" operation organized by KB. The traces of crime, so it is judged that someone is using the machine that prevents them from launching KB attacks to stop ordinary crimes.

Therefore, the KB organization wanted to lure Pan Yueming, who was strictly kept secret and protected by the government, through phishing, so as to learn the location and weakness of the machine.

In the last episode of the first season, the KB organization finally learned about the designer of the machine and kidnapped Pan Yueming, while Duan Yihong had no choice but to put his hope on the machine.

If the story of the first season is based on the setting of a mysterious machine that can use big data to predict crimes, from "predicting crimes" to "stopping crimes", in the second season it will become a man-machine battle or a machine-machine war. war.

The KB organization also designed an artificial intelligence called "Ghost". They wanted to know the exact location and weaknesses of the machine through "fishing", so that the "Ghost" could find the machine and replace it.

Because with the cooperation of the government, the machine has been fully connected to all the information systems of human society, so that crimes can be predicted.

And if the "ghost" can destroy the machine and replace it silently, it is equivalent to being robbed by the KB organization Li Daitao and ruled the world through the "ghost". The machine has been set by Pan Yueming and the government. It will be a real "Skynet" without restrictions and scruples!
Of course, the machine is not a "silly white sweet" artificial mentally retarded person who has no resistance. When the "ghost" finds the hiding place of the machine, the machine has disappeared with its own server.

The content of the second, third and subsequent seasons is a confrontation between an artificial intelligence that is kind to humans and another artificial intelligence that is malicious to humans designed by the KB organization, and the protagonist group also fights against the "ghost" with the machine. "Conspiracy with KB organization.
