"In such a world, it's perfectly fine as long as one robot's three laws are set." Su Shichen opened his mouth.
That's right, what Su Shichen said is the famous Three Laws in Asimov's collection of novels "I, Robot". The book "I, Robot" actually has nine stories (there are also eight versions), and this third law is the "Guide to Robots" that appears in the introduction to this book.
"I, Robot" actually belongs to Asimov's "Robot Series", one of the three most well-known science fiction novel series.
"What are the three laws of robots?" Hard felt that what Su Shichen said was much more attractive than the Chinese cuisine on this table.
Su Shichen said: "If in the future, humans can really set robots that are equal to humans in terms of their ability to move and intelligence, then they can set three laws that cannot be violated for the robot."
"1. Robots must not harm people, nor should they stand by when they are hurt. 2. Robots should obey all human commands, but they must not violate the first law. 3. Robots should protect their own safety, but they must not violate the first and second law."
"Of course, these three laws of robots are based on the law of zero - robots must protect the overall interests of human beings from harm." This can be said to be Asimov's entire law. As for other meta-laws or all the other authors added were omitted by Su Shichen. Sometimes it is too complicated and the more flaws it has.
The three laws of robots are also called the golden rule of robots in Western novels. Just like the Five Mountains Sword Sect and Eight Sects created by Jin Yong in his previous life, it is very difficult to surpass.
These three laws have become more complete due to the supplement of the Law of Zero. In the robot series "Robots and Empire", what Alia said to Daniel before her death. This Law of Zero was actually added by the robot Daniel himself.
As the basis of the three laws, the Law of Zero does seem to be a bit contradictory, because even humans themselves cannot distinguish the overall interests of humans. Can a robot be expected to distinguish clearly?
Many of them have been hacked in the third law of robots and the zeroth law. However, they cannot deny their status in science fiction novels.
Hard repeatedly said the three laws that Su Shichen had just mentioned, and the spirit in his eyes became brighter: "This is indeed a solution. Su, it seems that chatting with you is really a very pleasant thing."
"It is also my honor to be able to have dinner with Director Hard," Su Shichen said.
"Su, are you interested in writing a great science fiction movie script?"
Hard suddenly broke out this sentence, which was equivalent to inviting a script. Chen Ning squirted on the spot, "Cough cough", and then found that he was very indecent, so he immediately apologized and left the private room to clean up the bathroom. In fact, it was no wonder that Chen Ning had this reaction. The key was that Hard's words were too jumpy, so he suddenly invited Su Shichen to write a script.
Although Su Shichen's reaction is not as big as Chen Ning, he is also very curious. Although Hard is not loved by the academic school, his status as the king of commercial films is completely undisputed. There will be no shortage of scripts at all. Some science fiction masterpieces Hard is also adapted, and many characters who have won the Oscar for Best Screenwriter also have friendships with him. In this case, Hard will not lack scripts in any case in making new movies. How could he invite him to scripts?
Although it is not necessarily 100% good at filming just for scripts, it is already quite difficult.
"Director Hard is not kidding, is he?" Su Shichen's tone was tempted.
"Last time I went to China, in addition to seeing the brilliant myth of China, I also investigated something. Su You once wrote a TV drama script and wrote a background novel for this TV drama, which is the "Chaos Series". This is how I created the ratings myth, using novels and TV dramas to increase their popularity. This promotional method is very strange..."
Su Shichen waited for Hard's later words to write a background novel for the movie and TV series. After writing it, it was indeed a very good publicity, but Hard's movies also promoted this way, so this was completely unreasonable for Hard to invite him to film.
"The failure of "City of Paradise" made me realize that my directorial style is not suitable for filming such styles. But I still want to win an Oscar in my directorial career, but my style is so I am ready to work on the shocking background." Hardardo.
The road to winning the Oske Best Picture with its huge and awesome background and plot is definitely feasible, because after hearing Hard's statement, Su Shichen instantly remembered that "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" directed by Peter Jackson won the 76th Oscar for Best Picture. Of course, the strength of the movie "The Lord of the Rings" is not just the grand background. But this is the one that impressed the most.
"Su, I'm serious. Are you interested in writing such a script?" Hard's words actually have another meaning, which is to ask Su Shichen if he has the confidence to meet his requirements.
This requirement is really high. I believe no screenwriter or author dares to say that the science fiction script he wrote can win the best Oscars after being shot. Not to mention winning the award, no screenwriter dares to guarantee such a thing as being sure to be nominated.
Similarly, Su Shichen didn't dare to make such a promise, "Director Hard, you should have completed a script yourself."
"Yes, there is one." It's rare for Hard to bring the script with him.
Hollywood's script model is imitated, and the script is streamlined. It is possible that a script is written by several people, some are specifically about fighting scenes, and some are specifically about emotions. But the script format written by Hard is very strange. If he hadn't had a strong understanding ability, he would not have known what these were at all.
The writing was very scattered, and it took a long time to find the main line and make the general story clear. After watching the entire script, Su Shichen's mind was a pretty good movie "The Public Enemy of the Machinery" in his previous life. Of course, it only has some similarities and has flaws in the background.
There are flaws and strengths, but the mastery of the entire rhythm is very classic, just like the exciting points in online novels. You can see from the script alone. If filmed, the audience's reaction will definitely be very touching. It is a wonderful popcorn movie. It is worthy of being called a textbook-like character in commercial films. This strength is unquestionable.
This way the script may break the box office and even break the box office record. However, if you want to win the Oscar for Best Picture, it is really impossible not to hit Hard if Su Shichen hits Hard.
"Su, how about this script? This is my fourth time writing a script independently...Su, don't have that expression. I wrote it myself and I know that such a script cannot achieve the best Oscars." Hard simply admitted that he could not do it.
Su Shichen seems to have understood why Hard asked him that question before. The script he wrote himself did not meet his requirements, so Hard needed to ask outsiders for help. Before, Hard went to China to leave a deep impression on him because of the "Precious Series". In addition, the huge background of "Frozen Throne", the scene of inviting scripts appeared. The problem between robots and humans was a small test.
And it is not difficult to guess that Hard must have more than just invited him to scripts, and Hard is qualified to do so.
"Su, how do you think about it?"
The scene is shocking and the story must be conflicting. It is best to have a profound meaning mixed in so that it can be loved by the Oscar judges. Three ideas instantly emerged in Su Shichen's head, who met these conditions.
This scene is big, and it is not ordinary, and it is quite large. The shooting style can also be said to be in line with Hard. If you want to shoot it, you will definitely need a lot of special effects. This is exactly what Hard, a special effects crazier, likes.
but……
"Director Hard, I don't know what the company's budget for the next movie is. I have an idea now, but if I really want to make a movie, the budget may be very large."
"Although the box office of my last movie was the lowest since I directed it, I still make money instead of losing money. If you invest, there should be no problem with 500 million." Hader said this and said that he felt a little proud.
Investing 500 million is so powerful. You should know that many directors are working hard to exceed 500 million global box office, but they are investing 500 million directly here. This is the gap.
The investment of "Avatar" is also 500 million, most of which is used for special effects and publicity. In fact, the biggest investment should be "Titanic". You should know that in 1997, the movie almost invested 200 million, which almost dragged down Fox. The gap between the 200 million at that time and the 500 million in 2009 is obvious.
Five hundred million is a big investment, and Hard's company is indeed the world's largest film company.
If you agree, you will definitely have less free time. This is a torment for Su Shichen, who has been tense for a long time, who had wanted to rest. Another point is that even if you write it, Hard may not be satisfied, and he may not be able to defeat the other scripts.
If it is in vain, wouldn’t it be a tragedy? Shaking his head, Su Shichen dispelled this idea and muttered in his heart: “When will I become timid? Since I have a goal, I must do my best.”
"I am very interested in Director Hard's proposal." Su Shichen agreed with a smile, "I hope I can write a script that satisfies Director Hard."
Hud was happy: "I'm looking forward to it, Sue, I believe you can write a very good science fiction script, and believe that our cooperation will eventually stand on the Oscar stage."
“There will be that time.”
"By the way, don't just say that the food is not delicious when it is cold."
"Su, what kind of dish is this?"
"..." Looking at the dish that Hard put on, Su Shichen didn't know how to translate it. It was a very famous dish. It didn't mean that he couldn't translate it. I'm afraid that after it was translated, Hard wouldn't be interested in eating it, because Hard ate it - Piss Beef Pills
...
After the script was discussed, the conversation between Su Shichen and Hard became much more harmonious. Hard would talk about some interesting things in the filming. Su Shichen also served as an assistant director in the crew, so he could interfere. Su Shichen said that Hard was very interested in Chinese myths and legends, and various myths were very interesting. He ate this meal for about an hour.
On the way back to the hotel
"Su Da, are you really going to cooperate with Hard?" Chen Ning was curious.
"Yeah." Su Shichen nodded, "What's wrong with me?"
Let’s not talk about whether the script he wrote in the end can get the Oscar for Best Picture, but just gaining recognition from Hard and then making big investments. This is definitely a great help to companies that are about to enter the entertainment industry. This is the main reason why Su Shichen agreed.
But it is really not an easy thing to gain Hard's recognition. After all, Hard's ambition this time is to be an Oscar and have competitors.
"Although Hard's requirements are very high, there will definitely be many scripts..." Chen Ning said.
"I know, but what's the matter?" Su Shichen's question made Chen Ning speechless.
So what's the relationship? I'm really full of confidence.
After returning to the hotel, Su Shichen compared the three ideas in his mind in detail, and finally picked out one of the most suitable ones, which was the first time that he adapted the novel into a movie script, and he was a little unfamiliar.
The science fiction novel selected by Su Shichen can be said to be one of the most classic science fiction novels in the previous life. Although many descriptions of the earth in the previous life seem a bit ridiculous and terrifying now because they were written earlier, the most important thing is the background and plot.
This novel is...
ps: I'm embarrassed. I originally ordered "The Door to the Sea", but the kitten dug a hole and buried himself. The Door to the Sea cannot be used, so I can only change one. I have been struggling for a long time and found one that is quite suitable. Guess it, it's easy to guess...
In addition, after the kitten finished coding, it was dawn and he was sleepy, so he went to bed first. Today, he had to make up for three more tragedies. The kitten had a premonition that he would kill himself.
