Chapter 3366 Press Conference Rehearsal
The Xiaohongma Smart Drawing AI launch event is scheduled for Monday. The keynote speaker has been confirmed to be the CEO of Xiaohongma Benteng Technology Company. He will use "One Generation Fighting a Battle That Lasts Three Generations" as a case study and will invite Xiaobai to the stage to share his insights.
Therefore, before the press conference, Xiaobai decided to organize a rehearsal at Little Red Horse Academy to ensure that the official press conference would go smoothly.
In the evening, in the courtyard of Little Red Horse Academy, several long tables were put together to serve as a stage, with a whiteboard hanging behind it, on which the words "Little Red Horse Smart Drawing Launch Rehearsal" were drawn crookedly in colored markers.
Below the stage, the main creative team members, including Liuliu, Xiaomi, Xier, Dudu, Chengcheng, Shibaobao, and Xiaonian, sat neatly in their chairs, while the outer perimeter was crowded with children who came to show their support. Some were standing, while others had brought small stools to sit on.
Liu Liu and Du Du dragged the portable karaoke machine over, and Liu Liu grabbed the microphone to test it.
"Hey hey hey? Dolei Mystic Law Rashid~~ Hey hey hey hey, Big Swallow Big Swallow, you're so awesome... Hey hey hey~~~"
Dudu couldn't stand it anymore, so she snatched the microphone and gave it to Xiaobai.
"Okay, let's go down quickly, Xiaobai is the only one on stage," Dudu reminded Liuliu.
Liu Liu said worriedly, "But I haven't finished testing the microphone yet. What if there's no sound?"
Dudu pulled her downstairs, saying, "Don't worry about it. If something goes wrong, it's not your responsibility, it's mine."
Helpless, Liuliu could only walk down to the stage, grab a seat, and sit down. As soon as she sat down, she smelled a fragrance coming from beside her. Turning her head, she saw Robin holding a milk bottle and shaking it vigorously, the milky aroma filling the air.
"Why are you still making milk? Don't you have dinner?" Liuliu asked.
Robin grinned and said, "I'm making milk powder for myself, hiahia~~ Dudu, do you want some?"
In front of everyone, how could Liuliu possibly admit to wanting to drink milk?: "Are you kidding me! I'm an adult, why would I drink milk?! But you, you drank milk after dinner, are you addicted to milk and can't quit?! Do you want me to help you?"
Robin shook his head: "I didn't eat enough for dinner. My mom's cooking is bad, it's too salty."
It turns out that neither Bai Jianping nor Ma Lanhua came home for dinner tonight. Yang Yi cooked dinner, but her cooking skills were poor, and the food was not good enough, so Robin didn't get to eat his fill.
The child ran to the little red horse and immediately made himself some milk; no one can let their little tummy go hungry!
Robin was still shaking the bottle vigorously when Robin started drinking, slurping it down with relish. Even while busy, he didn't forget to ask, "Liuliu, do you want some?"
Before Liuliu could answer, he continued, "If you don't drink, you're an adult."
Leaves a black line at the end of Dudu's head.
Liu Liu swallowed nervously. At that moment, Xiao Bai cleared his throat, picked up the microphone, and said, "Ahem! Distinguished guests, friends from the media, good evening! I am Xiao Bai, the general director of 'One Generation Fighting Three Generations'. Today, we will mainly rehearse the part of tomorrow's press conference where I will speak on stage. The focus is on simulating reporters' questions! You are all reporters now, so feel free to ask any questions, the more tricky the better! I need to practice how to answer them."
An excited buzz immediately erupted from the audience.
Xiao Bai tried to take control of the pace: "First, I'll briefly explain our initial intention in making this short film..."
After she introduced the short film, the Q&A session officially began.
"Director Xiaobai!"
Xi'er was the first to ask a question, and she did a great job. She immediately called out "Director Xiaobai," showing a good ability to set the pace.
"It's Xi'er. What questions do you have? Go ahead and ask."
Xi'er asked, "Xiaobai, in your video, when Xiaodong and Xiaohua got separated, why was that piano piece chosen as the background music? It made me want to cry."
Xiao Bai replied, "Because that piece of music sounds very quiet, but also a little sad, like there's a void in your heart. Using music to replace crying feels... more profound."
Xi'er nodded and sat down. Xiaomi then asked, "Director Xiaobai, if a reporter asks you tomorrow, what is the biggest difference between AI-generated footage and traditional filming? Besides efficiency, what is the deeper meaning behind it? How would you answer?"
This is a very insightful question. Xiaobai thought about it carefully and said, "In the past, no matter how good the image was in our minds, if we couldn't draw it or take a picture of it, it would just remain an idea. But now, as long as we can describe it clearly, AI can help us present it. It's like... giving wings to our imagination, allowing it to fly out and be seen by everyone."
This answer made many children in the audience, including Xiaomi, look thoughtful.
Even Robin looked thoughtful, and Liuliu couldn't help but ask her what she was thinking. Robin, while biting the straw and drinking milk, tempted her by asking, "Liuliu, why does this milk powder taste a little off?...Liuliu, do you want to try some?"
This time, Liuliu learned her lesson and didn't rush to answer. Instead, she stared at her for a moment, and the little one blinked her big eyes and looked back at her with an innocent expression.
Liuliu thought Robin was serious, and was about to speak when she heard Robin say, "If you're not going to drink, you're an adult now. Hello, adult. Goodbye, adult. Hiahia~~"
Liu Liu felt like a million little red horses were galloping through her chest, making her so angry she was about to explode. Her fists clenched, her eyebrows furrowed, and a murderous aura filled her face.
……
The Q&A session continued, and this time it was Dudu who was asking questions with a mission.
"Xiaobai! If a reporter asks tomorrow, 'If movies are made with AI, will we no longer need real actors? For example, will people like Liuliu lose their jobs?'"
As she spoke, she glanced at Liuliu with concern. After all, Liuliu was her sworn sister, and she was very concerned about Liuliu's livelihood. Liuliu was so lazy and loved to eat. What if she couldn't act anymore one day and the industry disappeared? How would she support herself?
Liuliu immediately perked up, after all, this concerned her own meals.
Xiao Bai said, "Of course not! AI is a tool, and actors are the soul. It's like cooking. No matter how good the pot or how sharp the knife, you can't make a delicious dish without a good chef. Liu Liu is one of our good chefs."
Liu Liu nodded, agreeing with Xiao Bai's answer.
Chengcheng also raised her hand. Her questions always touched on the core of the story: "Xiaobai, if a reporter asked, why are the main characters in the film all children? What are you trying to express by showing the war from a child's perspective?"
Xiao Bai was prepared for this question and solemnly said, "We want everyone to see that war not only harms adults, but also children who are the same age as us now. They are forced to grow up and face suffering that we cannot imagine. Seeing it through the eyes of children makes those sacrifices and separations more heartbreaking and makes us understand how precious peace is."
Just now, before the rehearsal started, Xiaobai assigned a task to her group of girlfriends: each of them had to ask at least one question. Now, only Liuliu is left in the group who hasn't asked her question yet.
Liu Liu did it on purpose; she wanted to be the last to ask, after all, she was the final one!
Seeing Xiaobai looking at her with her glasses, Liuliu puffed out her chest, coughed deliberately, and said, "Xiaobai, I also have a question. In your opinion, in AI-made videos, who acts better, the actors or real actors? Do you think the acting in AI is soulless and stiff?"
Robin was happily drinking from his bottle when he looked up at Liuliu, who was asking him a question, and couldn't help but say, "Liuliu, you're so good at asking questions!"
Actually, she didn't know whether the question was good or bad, but she felt it was very complicated. She didn't understand it, but it sounded impressive.
Xiao Bai thought for a moment and said, "Liuliu, that's a very good question. It's a question that everyone cares about. But we have to look at things separately and not generalize. For example, some actors are good at acting, like Xiao Nian and you, while some actors are not good at acting, like Foundation General. What kind of rubbish was that? Compared to you, AI's acting is obviously not as good, but compared to Foundation General, AI is much better. If I had to spend so much money to hire Foundation General to act, of course I wouldn't want to. I would use AI 100%."
Liu Liu clapped her hands. Xiao Bai's answer was excellent, especially the part praising her!
After the group of girlfriends finished asking questions, it was time for the impromptu questions from the kids in the audience. Xiaobai perked up and prepared to deal with those tricky and strange questions.
