When IP meets AI, what changes will it bring to the industry? When was

sora released? In the minds of many people in the film and television industry, this date is very clear, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year! Because sora has given them an unparalleled shock, they have seen the future of the industry and the stormy waves the industry is about to face. At the "Marine Forum - When IP Meets AI, Opening Up New Visions of Light and Shadow", many big names in the film and television industry and the technology industry rushed to share their views and discuss the great changes that AI will bring to the industry.

"The biggest shock to our entire industry was on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year this year." Wang Jianer, vice chairman of the China Film Association, secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shanghai Film Group, recalled that the emergence of sora shocked the entire industry. Shanghai Film Studio spent 14 days in emergency consultations and discussions, quickly responded to the AI ​​wave, and took the lead in laying out many plans such as the "inew" new strategy, "ipai planet", and the large model of the Chinese animation school. "The most important thing is to enter the game quickly. Only by entering can we break the game. Only by speeding up the layout can we win the opportunity."

Wang Jian'er said that the large model of the Chinese animation school is an important expansion direction for Shanghai's fine art films. Utilizing the rich Chinese animation IP resources and data resources, combined with the underlying AI technology, to accelerate the training and research of AI models with Chinese cultural characteristics is a topic that Shanghai Film Group is currently planning. It is hoped that the next step will be to speed up the integration of various production factors and strive for phased results.

"AI technology is not only the 'future has come', but is also bringing technological innovation to the film industry." Yu Dong, founder, chairman and general manager of Bona Pictures, believes that AI can make movies no longer a regrettable art. "In the past, after the movie was completed, it was found that the footage was not enough, so it could only be replaced by narration, etc., but now, AI technology can be used to make up for it."

Yu Dong also revealed that the movie " legend " produced by Bona Film Group has been finalized On July 12, in the film, Bona Pictures used AI technology to restore the 25-year-old Jackie Chan. The digital Jackie Chan starred in more than 70% of the film. "This is an important digital asset, which is equivalent to Bona owning the digital asset of young Jackie Chan."

"What can AI bring to movies? Everyone has seen the benefits. But in the face of the challenges it will bring, everyone Are you ready?" Huang Jianxin, a senior director, screenwriter, producer and producer, believes that AI has surpassed humans in terms of perception and cognition, which makes individuals unable to compete with AI. Moreover, judging from the sluggish performance of this year’s Dragon Boat Festival movie market and the increase in the average age of movie audiences from 21 to 27.5 years old, it also reflects the duality of technological development. “It breaks down some of people’s original living habits and entertainment habits. . When everyone can enjoy content with their mobile phones, filmmakers need more masterpieces to attract audiences to stay in the theater."

Wang Changtian, chairman of Enlight Media, believes that the current level of AI should not be exaggerated. "At least in the film field, AI is still a tool after all. It is a good auxiliary tool that can improve efficiency. But it cannot be put directly on the big screen." Moreover, Wang Changtian believes that AI is impossible With human creativity and aesthetics, "the light of AI can never cover up the light of humanity."

"My latest movie " rescues the suspect " uses AI for English subtitles." Director and screenwriter Zhang Mo has experienced it firsthand Looking at the high efficiency brought by AI, "it took about 20 minutes to generate subtitles for the entire movie, and the translation was quite accurate." However, when it comes to writing scripts with AI, it always feels "almost boring". "These scenes all make people feel 'déjà vu' and have a sense of patchwork."
