664 Brainstorming

The fourth update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

When I turned around, I saw Pete Docter, a tall, thin, thin man in his early thirties, with long hands and long legs that reminded people of an orangutan. Uploaded by netizens, watch the latest update of this book) He left for a while, but he actually came back, walked into the office, heard the news of Star Point, and joined the discussion.

"Pete, haven't we been arguing for a long time? I don't think there should be too much anthropomorphism. At least, he can't talk like a human. I don't think this robot can be the second Nemo." Andrew Stanton saw Pete Docter replied immediately. Obviously, the two of them have discussed this topic countless times before. No wonder Pete Docter went straight to the topic as soon as he came in. "I think it should be a real robot, with only the basic consciousness of a robot."

After a circle, it seems to have returned to the focus of the debate between Andrew Stanton and John Lasseter when Evan Bell came in: whether a robot's horn can support a story, and whether it can be recognized by the audience.

John Lasseter tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and then said, "Andrew, how do you express the robot's emotions when there are no lines, no expressions, and even very limited movements?" Look Come on, John Lasseter's thinking has been shaken a little bit, and he also began to think that this plan is feasible, but it is still difficult.

Andrew Stanton frowned. If he came up with this key, he and Pete Docter had already been arguing for a month, so why bother holding a brainstorming session today to gather ideas.

"I think the statement 'no lines' is originally a wrong perception." Evan Bell looked around and said that the young man named Tom had originally planned to speak, but hesitated again. Swallowed it down, and now that Evan Bell spoke, he also focused his attention. Pete Docter took the seat between Evan Bell and Lee Unkrich.

"In fact, the lines are the robot itself. Although we can't understand what he is saying, it does not mean that he cannot express himself." Evan Bell stood up from his seat, walked to the whiteboard next to him, and pointed to The hand-painted manuscript hanging on it, gestured, and everyone in front of him nodded, Evan Bell directly took the manuscript down and put it on the table, picked up a carbon pen and drew on the whiteboard, "We The set robot can be a real robot, but it is a slightly intelligent robot in the future world. It is not anthropomorphic, it is a robot, but it can have a simple thinking system and a flowing way. 9vk. First release "Evan Bell thought of the "Mechanical Enemy" he had just finished filming, and the settings for robots in it were very consistent with the current situation.

"A robot may not be able to think like a human, but he has an independent intelligent system, and hundreds of years of life have made him understand loneliness. Of course, we can also set it to watch TV, maybe it can't understand it at first, but after a while. The slow evolution of intelligence over the past century has allowed it to simply follow the TV to do some actions and express some of the most basic emotions. For example, Wen-Bell did not speak any more, picked up a carbon pen and drew a sketch directly on the whiteboard.

Sketching is not difficult for Evan Bell at all.

Evan Bell drew the image of the robot Wall-E on the whiteboard, pointed to the eyes and said, "We can give the eyes a little look, and express some emotions from the shape of the eyes; if its hands are crossed together, it can be It means shyness." Evan Bell magnified the movement of his hand next to the robot, "because it has basic intelligence, so it has the simplest human emotions: liking, loneliness, shyness, fear, nervousness... This is not anthropomorphic , this is just the foundation of an intelligent robot. We don't have to anthropomorphize the robot, it is enough to express the emotion of this simple and intelligent robot in the simplest body movements and in a simple way. Robots also have their own language. Just like people who can't see or can't speak, they too have their own way of expressing their emotions."

Evan Belt paused, "We humans don't understand the sound of dolphins, but that doesn't mean they can't flow, doesn't it? At least, we can see their joy from their fish jumping over the sea, right? "

Suddenly, Evan Bell stopped talking, and the conference room fell into silence. Evan Bell couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Until now, everyone has not introduced each other, so they discussed it with such fanfare. This seems a bit "mén". The feeling of foreigners disrupting the situation.

Fortunately, Andrew Stanton was the first to react, "Yes, yes, it's really right. What we need is not anthropomorphism, but the basic intelligence of the robot. Express an emotion through the movement of the robot. That's it. A robot with basic intelligence is like a child, that is, the remaining child in every adult's heart. Robots are curious about everything, and recklessly explore the world in their own simplest way."

After listening to this series, John Lasseter thought for a moment, looked at Pete Docter and said, "Pete, you are the producer of this idea, what do you think?"

The young man named Tom suddenly said a word, "Andrew, what is your definition of the core clue of this story?"

Andrew Stanton thought for a while, "At the moment I only have a vague concept, like telling a story from the perspective of a robot, I want to write a love story, the robot has learned to love by relying on his basic intelligence, and is simply and boldly chasing Love. Still don't have a lot of ideas for the estimated framework."

Pete Docter pondered for a while, and said, "Andrew, I think this is feasible, like..." Pete Docter glanced at Evan Bell, and didn't seem to react to Evan Bell in the end. Who is it? He pointed at Evan Bell directly with his finger at last. "As he said, it is enough for the robot to have basic intelligence. The low-level anthropomorphism can make the image of the robot more vivid. The idea of ​​a robot to create a story, rather than an anthropomorphic character, was persuaded by Pete Docter, who decided to vote for the daring idea.

John Lasseter didn't say anything more, "Although it's a huge challenge for us to have a talking robot as the protagonist, it may really be a good idea. Andrew, you write the script. "

At this time, mén from the conference room was pushed away, and the blonde lady at the front desk walked in lightly, and found that everyone was not discussing, but looked at her in silence, she smiled, and then said The young man said, "Tom, the new mineral water has arrived downstairs, can you go down and help?"

The young man picked up the linen gloves on the table and said repeatedly, "Of course, of course." Then, he picked up an empty water bottle in the corner, walked to the mén mouth and said "goodbye" to everyone, then turned and left .

Evan Bell seemed a little stunned by this scene. Could it be that the young man named Tom just now was a porter? Then why is he sitting here participating in the discussion. The lady at the front desk seemed to sense Evan Bell's suspicions, and explained in a low voice, "Tom is a new intern in the company, so I'll help with some sundries for the time being." Then she walked out.

Andrew Stanton stood up, "Mr. Bell, hello, I'm Andrew Stanton. I'm sorry I didn't have time to introduce myself just now." Andrew Stanton smiled and reached out and shook hands with Evan Bell, who were already there After discussing in the conference room for nearly half an hour, they started to introduce each other, which was really weird. Evan Bell replied, "Please call me Evan."

Andrew Stanton is also informal and said directly, "Evan, do you have any ideas for a story with a robot as the protagonist?"

Evan Bell almost blurted out "yes", but his reason still told him that the screenwriter who created the story of "Robot Wall-E" was right in front of him: Andrew Stanton, so he slammed into his mouth Bian's words became, "I think this is a very interesting subject."

Andrew Stanton immediately laughed, "That's great, I've got an idea for a story frame now, here's how I think..."

"Andrew, don't you wait for us to get to know each other? Can't wait." Pete Docter's voice interrupted Andrew Stanton's continuous words. He didn't recognize Evan Bell just now, so It still needs to be introduced at this point.

John Lasseter stood up, "Hello, I'm John Lasseter." Evan Bell finally spoke to today's leader, it's not easy. "Sorry, sorry, our studio has always been like this. It's more casual and casual. You just arrived in the conference room and joined the discussion~www.readwn.com~ Everyone feels that they are used to it."

Andrew Stanton nodded and echoed, "We don't have any words for middle-level, ministries, and leaders. That's what makes us unique. Everyone can give opinions, and everyone can participate in discussions."

Pete Docter, Brad Bird and Lee Unkrich all shook hands with Evan Bell amicably. John Lasseter then went on to say, with a kind smile on his face, which doesn't quite match his gangster's general appearance, "Steve said before, you have your own opinions on cartoons. Today It seems that you also have a childish innocence."

In front of professionals, it is the best way to show your talents at any time. Pixar Studio, a place that is extremely demanding on animation technology and plot creativity, is like a professional field such as psychology and architectural design. Fame, popularity, etc. do not work, but a bright mind and unparalleled talent. is the best knocking brick.

Evan Bell spread his hands, "John, I will only be twenty-one years old next month, so strictly speaking, I am indeed a child now." This sentence made everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.
