中新社阿斯塔纳10月6日电 (记者 单璐)“一个带有中国传统文化背景的AI短片,能在海外电影节上获奖,说明这部作品具有跨越文化差异的力量,对我们团队来说,这是很大的鼓励。”

在首届阿斯塔纳人工智能电影节上,来自中国的创作者团队2xLabs凭借人工智能短片《合龙》(The Last Span)获得开放竞赛单元最佳故事奖。短片执行导演王语宸近日接受中新社专访,讲述这部作品在题材选择、影像制作和故事表达上的考量。

这部约17分钟的短片创作灵感,来自《富春山居图》遭火焚后断为两卷、分藏两地,后曾合璧展出的经历;影片则讲述少女阿渔渡江寻母,两岸百姓同心修桥、最终桥体“合龙”的故事。

“我们有很深厚的历史文化积累,有很多东西可以讲。”谈及创作题材选择,王语宸认为,当下AI技术不断更新,炫目的画面容易被复制,创作者自身的思考和独特的文化表达,更能赋予作品鲜明的特色。

有了题材和构思,接下来是对作品质量的打磨。王语宸介绍,《合龙》由十余人的团队分工完成,涵盖编剧、导演、美术、人工智能视觉生成及剪辑、后期等环节,历时约一个半月,算力成本不到10万元人民币。其中,正式生成视频只用了一周多,更多时间用于打磨剧本、确定视觉风格,让画面与故事紧密结合。

“我们把确定好风格的图片、声音等交给模型,再用提示词对景别、人物动作以及说话的声线等进行描述,把设想中的画面‘跑’出来。”王语宸说,生成效果不理想时,还要重新审视对这场戏的理解,调整提示词,让模型准确呈现创作意图。

人工智能让更多普通人有机会把想法变成影像,但技术门槛降低并不意味着创作变得简单。王语宸认为,创作者的审美、叙事能力、价值观,以及对人和世界的理解,愈发成为作品之间拉开距离的关键。

电影节获奖作品公布后,有哈萨克斯坦媒体评价,《合龙》以独特的美术风格和精巧的叙事结构,给观众留下深刻印象。

谈及作品在海外收获的评价,王语宸认为,世界各地的创作者虽然文化背景不同,却有着共通的电影语言。“用好这套语言,做出高质量的影片是实现跨文化理解的前提。”

“不久前我去看了《欢迎来龙餐馆》,很受启发。当作品在表达和质量上达到标准,也能让观众获得观看的乐趣,让人愿意在平台或影院里欣赏时,故事中的价值观念也就有了跨越文化差异的可能。”王语宸说。(完)

Android Auto wired connection may be upgraded to Android 11, older models will no longer be supported

Foreign media reports pointed out that users in many countries received system warnings when using wired methods to connect to Android Auto, prompting that their phones will no longer be supported because they cannot be upgraded to the Android version required by Android Auto. Currently, returns are mostly focused on Android 10 models, such as Samsung Galaxy Note 9, S9 and Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. There is speculation that Google may raise the minimum system requirements for wired Android Auto from Android 9 to Android 11 to unify the thresholds for wired and wireless versions. Although Google has not made an official announcement, warnings have begun to appear, and users of older phones should be prepared.

He criticized the "fast-moving, rule-breaking" culture of the technology industry as not suitable for the development of powerful AI.
