This director needs to apologize

Chapter 334 Even if you drive, it’s up to dad to decide how to drive.
As Chen Yiming finished telling the story of "Her Memories", the topic of the closing banquet changed from "The Usual Suspects" which has not yet been completed, to Bo Jue's next new project.

The story is indeed a bit old, but everyone here is considered an expert, and they have to admit that Chen Yiming's "magic transformation" fully meets the requirements of the little princess Qi Tian.

Although the entire story unfolds from the perspective of the captain as the male protagonist, the focus of the film is definitely on Lady Rose, who only appears a third of the way.

Chen Yiming's story has obviously been deliberately compressed and simplified. According to the general routine of this type of adventure story, the crew entering the ruins should definitely not be only two people, but three or five is the minimum.

In this way, crew members with different personalities and experiences will show different reactions in the illusion, embodying different themes and expressions. As the common source of several story lines, Lady Rose will naturally have different responses.

She may be a childhood sweetheart, a crush, a first love, or a beloved couple. This is why Chen Yiming just said that the heroine has countless clones.

Yu Hewei said to Xiao Qi, who was still frowning and thinking about the ending, "You should really give Director Chen a sincere toast. This book is just right for you now."

Seeing that the girl looked confused, but still obediently went to get the wine glass, Teacher Yu explained with a smile, "You have a graceful and luxurious temperament, but this temperament needs to be stimulated in a suitable atmosphere to make the taste suitable for ordinary audiences. perception.

You are too young, and if you play this kind of role now, you are like a child wearing adult-style clothes. You are good-looking, but it is funny-looking, not stunningly good-looking.

Therefore, the sci-fi space background chosen by Director Chen was not chosen blindly. What he wanted was for the audience to accept the heroine's character without any obstacles. Madam Rose only carries the memory of the dead heroine. She is just like the lady when she was most beautiful. She looks beautiful, has a beautiful singing voice, is graceful, has a peerless charm, and is full of splendor, but in the final analysis, she is just an AI performed by a computer program, which is ultimately different from the lady herself.

Xiao Qi finally understood this time, but then she asked rather uneasily, "Then what if I don't perform well? When I was in Bangkok, I just lay there with my head covered and didn't move. Brother Wang had to Help me pose step by step."

Xiao Qi thought for a long time and said with a grimace, "Yi Ming, when I first listened to the story, I thought I could play Mrs. Rose. At least I could go home and observe my mother. But now Teacher Yu said that I should act according to the AI. But I have no direction at all. Who knows what AI is like, and I have never seen it.”

Good guy, many people in the room had their jaws dropped to the floor. This is her biological daughter, it must be. How could she be so spoiled if she is not her biological daughter?

The girl punched Chen Yiming and said, "Speak properly and don't bully me for being stupid."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiming looked at Wang Wei meaningfully, startling the latter, and quickly waved his hands and said, "I just lay down next to him and showed him, but I didn't get started. Li Zi can even testify for me."

Chen Yiming had no choice but to explain in detail, "I said it was tailor-made for you. You can act precisely because no one has ever seen an AI. Whatever you perform is what the AI ​​will be like.

There was something wrong with the way Wang Wei looked at Yu Hewei. He always thought that the old man was an honest man, but he didn't expect that he would betray his brother's life today.

Yu Hewei was caught off guard by the CUE. Facing Xiao Qi's wet eyes, he could only admit reluctantly, "Director Chen is right. As long as you perform at a normal level, being NG is definitely not your problem."

In this movie, you don't need to play a graceful woman, you only need to play a graceful AI. "

Everyone was stunned, and they were all put off by Xiao Qi's outspokenness.

Xiao Qi seemed to understand. Apparently she had never thought about the performance differences between real people and AI, but several male actors were already nodding secretly.

This story doesn’t require you to think too much. Don’t think about AI or not. Just act out a love-crazed woman according to your own imagination. The rest can be left to the actor and director who plays with you. "

Chen Yiming smiled and said, "You haven't seen it, and I haven't seen it either. Ask who in the room has seen it?"

Demon King Chen retracted his eyes, let go of the quail-like Wang Wei for the time being, looked at the girl and comforted him, "Relax, I guarantee this book, if the performance is not good, it is definitely not your fault, it is definitely someone else's fault, you let me They just criticize themselves.”

Chen Yiming turned a blind eye to these reactions, and pointed at Yu Hewei and said, "If you don't believe me, you should believe Teacher Yu. Ask him if he plays the captain, it will be his responsibility if the performance fails."

Yu Hewei thought about the wording over and over in his stomach, and after organizing it for a long time, he explained to Xiao Qi, "AI is a machine. The characteristic of a machine is that it is not emotional, and its reactions are patterned and routine."

Xiao Qi nodded. Is it a computer program? It’s easy to understand.

Yu Hewei continued, "For example, we are playing against each other now. You ask me not to leave, because you are here and our children are here. Once I leave, my wife and children will never be seen again. At this time How do you act?" Xiao Qi frowned and fell into silence. After a long time, she suddenly straightened her back, tilted her slender neck slightly, and inadvertently drew in her chin, leaving Yu Hewei with a feeling between trembling and The side face that is not trembling.

She didn't look at him, she just closed her eyes and said crisply, "Go ahead, and don't come back tonight."

The next moment, the private room seemed to be leaking air, and there was a series of "puff" sounds. Chen Yiming's stomach burst from laughter. Sister, do you know that you have revealed a major family secret?

Duan Yining kept pointing at Chen Yiming without making any sound, but his mouth shape was clearly "Just be bad,"

Chen Yiming also choked back silently, "It's none of my business!"

Only Yu Hewei was really in the play. He sat there, staring at Xiao Qi's profile. His entire upper body, the muscle lines on his face, including his lips, eyebrows, and ears were trembling, and huge emotions were brewing.

Xiao Qi posed for a long time but didn't hear a reply. She turned around without knowing why. She was startled when she saw Yu Hewei's appearance and asked quickly, "Teacher Yu, what's wrong with you?"

The next moment, Yu Hewei took away his magical power and returned to his true self, and said to the girl, "The scene we just played was NG. The problem is with me, because you handed over the baton to me after finishing your lines, but my response made it impossible for you to continue. ”

Xiao Qi had a weird look on her face. Not to mention that she hadn't thought that He Wei was acting opposite her. Even if they were both acting, it was because she didn't continue acting just now.

Yu Hewei said kindly, "Isn't that what AI is like? If the situation is outside the preset range, it will either be wrong or lead to an infinite loop.

The lines are written in the script. How to say them and what emotions to express depends on the cooperation between you and me. The perception we want to bring to the audience is that I am a human being, and you are a somewhat weird person. It was not until the truth was revealed later that the audience understood that this weirdness was not because of anything else, but because you are an AI, and I have been affected by Misleading illusions.

That’s why Director Chen said just now, you don’t need to think about how the AI ​​will act or what it will look like, then that’s what the AI ​​in the film will look like.

Just like the wife in my eyes in the hallucination, it is obviously your face, and the temperament is exactly the same as yours, but I just think that this is my wife, she is alive in this garden as if she has never died. "

Yu Hewei's words were so touching that they swept away the funny atmosphere in the private room.

To be honest, at this moment, Chen Yiming felt that Yu Hewei's understanding of "Her Memories" had surpassed his own who had watched the original film and told the story.

Chen Yiming chose this story because he intuitively believed that Xiao Qi is more suitable for the role of Mrs. Rose. Xiao Qi’s family and experience give her a unique temperament. If this story is adapted to a Chinese background, the actress will need to integrate it well. Chinese elegance and Western grace are not easy.

The original film is a Western-style film that I loved when I was young, and it is also a cartoon. It is difficult to eliminate the sense of dissonance when changing it to a live-action version. In Chen Yiming's view, Xiao Qi is not a bad choice.

But Yu Hewei only listened to a few words he told, and he already thought more deeply than he did, and then touched on the theme of the original film.

When people and memory can be separated, what does memory itself mean?
The captain was addicted to the tragic memories of his wife and daughter and couldn't help himself. However, faced with the temptation of Lady Rose to stay in the memory sanctuary, he finally broke away and said the famous line, "Memory is not a place to escape."

In real life, everyone understands that people cannot escape reality through memory. They have to face things when they happen. After all, they have to put down their baggage and move forward.

But in the context of science fiction, in a future where memories can be uploaded and AI can live forever, will this truth still be an unquestionable truth?
At least, in "Her Memories", each "person", Mrs. Rose, her AI servant, the captain, and the crew, gave a different answer.

Who can say that in the future when AI becomes a reality, these answers will be right or wrong?

Based on this, Mrs. Rose, played by Xiao Qi, can indeed have the "willful" qualification and status. Her perception in the audience's mind is determined by the reaction of the male actor, the atmosphere of the scene, the audience's preconceptions, and the weird plot. trend and her unique temperament, and perhaps the least important thing here is her acting skills.

Or rather, if the acting is too good and too human, it will create new problems. It is better to let a newbie like Xiao Qi, who has the right temperament and limited acting skills, take the instinctive route and let all departments of the crew, from actors to behind the scenes, Take her along for the shoot.

Chen Yiming couldn't help but think of a famous line from his previous life, "You can just drive, but dad will figure out the solution."
