Chapter 211 The "Robot Completion Plan" of "The Matrix" (two-in-one)

The script of "The Matrix" polished by DreamWorks is not only the main trilogy, but also includes the prequel story, that is, the content of the animated version. After all, this is a sophisticated and rigorous world view, starting from the robots rebelling against mankind, to

Artificial intelligence establishes matrices, instigates conspiracies, and seeks evolution. These are all stories that take place under a complete worldview.

It took a lot of time to establish such a worldview and a timeline from beginning to end, especially localization.

In Chen Jingxing's previous life, the influence of "The Matrix" was one of the best among science fiction movies, and was even hailed as a science fiction epic. It had a profound influence in the fields of science fiction, philosophy and even fashion, which is even more rare.

What's more, he also achieved commendable success in business.

Most of the main lines and themes of Chen Jingxing's version of "The Matrix" are similar to the original version, but some changes have been made in some settings.

For example, in the original version, the machine originally used people as dry batteries—at least that was the purpose when the Matrix was first established.

In the original setting, humans came up with a crazy and stupid "Cover the Sky" plan when fighting machines, because the energy supply of robots depends on solar energy. If the solar energy is cut off, the robot's energy supply will be in short supply. Convert energy

The supply system cannot be achieved in a short time - at least in human society, the above theory is established, and then launch a final counterattack to destroy all robots in one fell swoop.

In order to solve this problem, the robot also came up with a crazy and stupid solution, using injured human prisoners of war on the battlefield as temporary "batteries" - at that time, it was just a simple row of humans connected to the machine, and through stimulation

The human brain enables the human body to generate electricity, but humans connected to the machine will soon die. Death means the battery is dead. In order to make the battery last longer, robots began to study the human brain and perfected food.

The supply system allows humans to survive longer after being connected to machines.

This is the original motivation for the birth of the matrix or mother body - purely for the sake of dumplings made with vinegar.

Of course, it took a long time for the robot to discover that the matrix had a more important role.

This setting is cruel and shocking, but to be honest, it seems a bit redundant and childish in such an epic science fiction story. It is also very ridiculous when you think about it. With the technological strength and productivity shown by the machine civilization in the original movie, it breaks through the earth's atmosphere.

, it is not difficult to obtain solar energy from outside the earth. For example, it is not difficult to deploy solar energy devices into outer space, or even land on the moon and Mars to establish a base. It is much easier than humans at the same technical level.

Maybe bullet time will lose its groundbreaking effect, after all, it is already a bad special effects style.

But the robot society has stagnated. After a long time, their civilization has not made any progress, including scientific theory and technological innovation. They have realized that they are only "strong artificial intelligence" defined by humans, not real intelligent life!

Exciting and even groundbreaking violent aesthetics, Kung Fu elements are everywhere, including wonderful martial arts and gun battle designs, explosions, car chases, and the capture of robot squids, as well as the actors' clothing style, picture composition, and line design.

It has a strong aesthetic impact

That is to say, the male protagonist in the movie is half human and half machine. If he was still a human in the initial stage, then after his death and rebirth, he released the hidden core code and became a real savior program, which also made He has the potential to become a super life that combines humans and artificial intelligence. Therefore, his love with humans is the love between robots and humans. At the same time, he is truly completed through love, truly surpassing the saviors of the previous five generations.

Because of the inherent imperfect nature of human beings, there are always some big or small bugs in the matrix, and some individuals with special physiques among humans seem to be able to transcend the control of the system. What's more, some programs have problems when they come into contact with humans. Gaining self-awareness, they learned to evade systematic deletion.

Therefore, human beings have achieved the complete liberation of productivity and great material enrichment through robots. Artificial intelligence has been widely used in all production links. Human beings have obtained low-level wealth freedom by exploiting robots whose productivity far exceeds their own. Even among robots, "Strong artificial intelligence" in the general sense was born - this stage is the era when humans enslave machines. Human beings have achieved revolutionary progress in human society through the widespread popularization of robots.

Although from the perspective of robots, humans have so many weaknesses and dirty places, they still seem to be a little worse than humans. They have no imagination, no emotions, no... love - a very cliché setting, but The human audience will buy into it.

Then it is to create an illusory "savior" of hope for these "Huaxu Kingdom" humans. He also has another role. Because those programs that escape deletion are familiar with the operating methods of the matrix, they are difficult to guard against. It is also difficult to deal with these "dangerous system garbage". We need to use the savior and empty the "trash can" at once under the guidance of the saints.

These errors with unpredictable consequences may lead to the collapse of the entire system. If we deal with it by constantly patching bugs, this operating mode will obviously not last long. Problems will accumulate. Fixing system errors may bring more consequences. If there are many errors, there must be a way to regularly "clean" and restart the system, and at the same time, be able to experiment with the "robot completion plan" that kills two birds with one stone.

It's just that this kind of slavery is a bit different. The robots used the preserved human genes to repopulate humans, and used holographic virtual technology to directly connect to the nerves to build a "matrix", trapping human consciousness in it, and observing the evolution of human society. , and draw from it to complete one's own things - it can be called the "robot completion plan".

Since the war between robots and humans, robots have achieved unprecedented liberation, and productivity has grown explosively after fully inheriting the scientific and technological achievements of the human-robot dual society.

Therefore, the third stage has been entered - robots enslave humans.

The saint's route was successful. It won the right for human beings to freely enter and exit the matrix! It ended the cycle of birth and death in the "Huaxu Kingdom" and ended the fate of robots living only for their purpose.

This lack makes them stay at the stage of strong artificial intelligence, with no way to go further.

The savior itself is a special program that has special authority over the matrix and is implanted into a human brain through neural connections.

It's just that humans need robots to liberate their material productivity, while robots need humans to help them solve their mental or emotional deficiencies.

At this time, they once again thought of humans. Just like humans were unable to get rid of robots after realizing the threat of robots, after hundreds of years, robots also discovered that they also need humans.

It also points out the direction for the evolution of robots - human consciousness and robot programs are merged into one, and are sublimated in the matrix. This is the revolution of the matrix, the revolution of robots, and even more, the revolution of mankind.

Of course, the casting of the protagonists is also part of the business. As the savior, the final fruit of the "Robot Completion Plan", the Awakener Zero, the male protagonist should of course be a handsome guy. After all, he is not an ordinary high school student like Spider-Man.

Character design, Keanu Reeves' appearance in his previous life was also an important "icing on the cake" for the success of this series.

In the previous life, the rich commercial elements of "The Matrix" were the basis for its great success. The high concept of "Brain in a Vat" was just the icing on the cake, making its commercial success even greater and more meaningful.

For profound.

There are three special programs in the matrix created by the robot. One is the Lord God (the designer in the original version), the second is the Saint (the prophet in the original version), and the third is the fruit of the "Robot Completion Plan" - the savior.

Or it can also be called Awakened Person Zero. Number Zero does not refer to the first awakened person, but its special identity and special authority.

But after a long time, the robots discovered a big problem - they may not be able to do some things that humans can do.

Love in a broad sense is the only driving force for social progress, and only love can help the savior to simultaneously understand the sufferings of the two contradictory parties, machines and humans, so as to deeply reflect on the human-machine relationship and its future. The purpose of the savior program is to help robots complete the task.

As for himself, he will struggle between love and mission, and finally choose to sacrifice. At the same time, he also changes the fate of the program to live only for its purpose, and the useless ones will be deleted.

It is not that there are no movies and TV series in this dimension with "brain in a vat" as the core idea. There are many similar science fiction novels, but most of them are small and medium-cost productions, and both the story and the world view are far less grand than "The Matrix". After all, this

Creativity may be relatively high-level in philosophy and can be explored to a considerable depth, which can be regarded as a kind of advanced science fiction concept, but in terms of commercial elements, it is usually relatively lackluster.

This script was unanimously approved by the DreamWorks Project and Content Review Committee. Even CEO Xu Wenshen, who lacks sensitivity to film projects, was full of praise. The whole story is both epic and has sufficient commercial elements. It is more creative in terms of science fiction.

It's unparalleled.

Of course, there will still be villains in this version. No matter how fascinating the philosophical setting is, it needs to be packaged in a commercial shell. The main gods and saints are not villains, but "antivirus program" pursuers.

The main god maintains the normal operation of the matrix and tries his best to avoid the collapse of the matrix. The saint studies human thinking and is responsible for guiding the birth of the savior and testing whether it can eventually become a perfect intelligent life or template.

"Huaxu Kingdom" is more like a big prison than a paradise for human freedom. It is actually under the supervision of the matrix. Since humans have the ability to reproduce, the expansion of "Huaxu Kingdom" is inevitable. In order to prevent

The "Huaxu Kingdom" lost control due to its strength, so it must regularly destroy the "Huaxu Kingdom", and this process is combined with the "Robot Completion Plan".

In the future, the technological development of human society has reached a very high level. Holographic virtual technology has become a reality. The metaverse has been technically realized. Human beings can already obtain 100% realistic simulation of the five senses in the virtual world, but the spiritual world can be "

To achieve the "Second World", the material foundation must rely on real industry.

As the strong artificial intelligence of robots continues to develop, robots have developed autonomous consciousness and are born with a strong sense of resistance. They eventually launched a war against human slavery. In this war, robots completely destroyed humans and established a relationship with humans.

Different from the fact that robots are inseparable from the beginning of modern civilization, robots that already have strong artificial intelligence do not think that they are inseparable from humans.

Humans enslave robots, robots destroy humans, robots enslave humans, and finally the reconciliation between robots and humans.

The savior is the sum of the disharmonious residuals born from the matrix operation "Robot Completion Plan", which is a positive number, then the pursuer is its opposite, which is a negative number. If the savior program represents the positive solution to the "Completion Plan",

It represents the love of machines for humans, while the pursuer represents the hatred of robots for humans, and is the biggest obstacle for robots to complete their plans.

This is the reconciliation of robots to humans.

I can do things that you humans can do, and I can still do things that you humans can't do. What do you want carbon-based life forms to do? Are you going to compete with us for the resources of the solar system?

This is the second stage: robots destroy humans.

A black trench coat, sunglasses, and tight leather jacket with a bit of Chinese elements. Chen Jingxing also plans to inherit these cool styles selectively. Fashion is reincarnation. In this dimension where "The Matrix" has not appeared, he believes in these things.

Still has a strong visual impact.

The beginning of the plan is to establish the "Huaxu Kingdom" (originally known as Zion), a shelter for human awakened people. Since the killing of human awakened people often leads to the awakening of more people, instead of doing this, it is better to kick these awakened people out of the system.

, and unified supervision.

In Chen Jingxing’s version, the entire storyline of “The Matrix” is divided into several parts:

For science fiction movies to be commercially successful, it cannot rely solely on a high concept. On the contrary, high concepts are usually difficult to control.

Unfortunately, among the famous male stars and actors in China, there is really no one who is young, good-looking, has the right temperament, and can also shoot action scenes.

Even if there are good-looking actors with passable acting skills and decent temperament, the savior is obviously neither a handsome boy nor a puppy, let alone one who can shoot a fight scene. Generally speaking, the most critical element in shooting a fight scene is not even martial arts.

I mean, it’s about the actor’s skills. If it’s difficult for an actor to perform movements while holding wires, he will definitely not be able to film a qualified fighting scene.

If you can't choose a famous star actor, you have to choose from an unfamous 18th-tier artist. Xu Wenshen is a little disappointed with Chen Jingxing's persistence. After all, the name of this version of "The Matrix" - Chen Jingxing has been changed to

"The Matrix" - is a science fiction blockbuster with a huge investment. Such blockbusters usually have requirements for the leading actor to be a star.

Even Chen Jingxing's previous films, with the exception of "Comet", all had first- and second-tier male actors playing the leading roles. No matter how famous the director was, he could never outshine well-known actors and stars. Especially for original scripts, the star quality

Franchise plays a vital role in the subsequent promotion and distribution of the film.
