Summary of article:
“Sanxingdui: Days of Future Past” became China’s first all-AI film to be released publicly. Although it used AI to generate pictures and sounds to save costs, it still took 2 years and a lot of manual adjustments, and gave birth to more AI film and television projects.
China’s first full-length film to receive permission for public releaseartificial intelligence (ai) movie “SAMSUNG “Heap: Future Past” will be officially released in theaters on the 23rd. The film took two years to produce, during which time the AI software was constantly updated and the team reworked the images several times. According to the report, the biggest advantage of AI production is cost reduction.
According to CCTV Finance and Jinan Times reports, “Sanxingdui: Past Events” is 100 minutes long. All images are generated by AI, and some sounds are generated by AI. All characters are original digital images. The content uses hyper-realistic images to combine ancient Shu civilization and futuristic science fiction.
Some viewers said that they were shocked by the scene in the film where thousands of arrows were fired, and thought the effect was very cool.
Jiang Defu, CEO of China Bona Film & Television and chief producer of “Three” Films, said that in the past, large scenes with thousands of soldiers cost several million yuan per shot and had to be produced overseas. Nowadays AI technology can be used to implement this easily. After the “Three” movies, the company has launched the production planning of another AI movie “Unplanned: Operation Guanghan”.
Even though AI technology is used, the film is not “ready with one click.” “Three” film producer Qi Ji Xiaoxiang said that nearly a hundred people participated in the production process alone, and the cost reached millions of yuan. The team has redrawn the image several times as the generic model is updated. Character stability, lens continuity and picture accuracy still require a lot of manual adjustments suitable for large screen screening.
In addition to theaters, the purely AI-generated series “Journey to the West” has also been broadcast in China. The scenes and character interpretations of a single 40-minute episode are all completed by AI.
Li Dongshen, chief director of “Journey to the West”, believes that in AI film and television production, people have two main values: one is to provide imagination and world view. The second is to make quick choices and select the best photo from the massive AI-generated content.
“Sanxingdui: Days of Future Past” has been released for two days, and the box office has exceeded 500,000 RMB.
