in a dream of red mansions, there is a famous statement by tanchun: it is known that such a big family cannot be killed immediately if attacked from outside. they must first commit suicide at home before they can be completely defeated.
today, when people are anxious about whether ai technology will replace humans in the performing arts field, perhaps they are overlooking one point: human self-abandonment is the biggest crisis.
for example, many people have a feeling that although special effects are becoming more and more advanced, the action scenes in martial arts dramas are becoming less and less exciting.
the tv series "young man on white horse" aired some time ago is a typical example. most of the netizens' complaints are focused on its action scenes: basically, any action scenes that are a little difficult are dealt with by posing and post-production special effects.
it is undeniable that the advancement of technology should be a boon to martial arts dramas or films. most of these films and tv series are based on martial arts novels, and the core aesthetic of martial arts novels is imagination. in particular, jin yong's novels are full of various imaginative martial arts moves, which are completely ahead of the technology of his time.
it is the continuous development and improvement of special effects that have made the writers' descriptions of flying over eaves, walking on walls, and riding on clouds truly visualized.
but technology can only enhance, not replace. the core of martial arts films is always people. so it has a threshold: professional martial arts design, actors with martial arts skills and martial arts foundation, all constitute its threshold, ensuring the strength and beauty of the action scenes.
the fighting scenes in many tv dramas recently mocked by netizens as powerpoint-style and wind-blowing-wheat-waves-style are the result of lowering or even eliminating the threshold and replacing people with technology.
no wonder some people say: martial arts films have been completely ruined by special effects.
in addition to film and television, theaters are also a hard-hit area where technological progress has declined.
composer jin fuzai and musical actor a yunga have both mentioned the impact of subtitles on musical performances on different occasions. subtitles were originally designed to help audiences understand the meaning of actors' lyrics when watching foreign plays, but now they have almost become a standard feature of musical performances, which has invisibly caused actors and audiences to rely on subtitles.
when the audience reads the subtitles, they don't pay attention to whether the actors' pronunciation is clear; the actors will also relax their requirements for their pronunciation, because the audience can read the subtitles anyway. jin fuzai said that a good musical performance should not and does not need subtitles. however, when the actors and the audience are accustomed to relying on subtitles, over time, the actors' performance ability and the audience's appreciation ability will fall asleep in the dependence.
similarly, feng yuanzheng, president of the beijing people's art theatre, has said on many occasions that using the human voice to convey emotions and ideas while allowing the audience in the last row of the auditorium to hear the lines clearly is a necessary requirement for drama performances. however, due to the development of technology and the involvement of electroacoustics, many actors are unwilling to work on this basic skill and have gradually lost this ability. currently, perhaps only the beijing people's art theatre still insists on acting without a microphone.
you see, technology has come to the fore and taken the center stage, while the people who were supposed to be the protagonists have become completely or partially invisible.
kafka said that only art can reach people's hearts.
we care about the irreplaceability of humans in the field of art, because the essence of art points to the human spirit, concerns the fundamental existence of human beings, and represents the last bastion of human originality; and performance is an art in which humans use their flesh and blood to express their feelings and cognition of the world in all aspects - this is also the fundamental reason why many people are convinced that ai cannot replace humans.
however, human laziness allowed technology to advance at full speed, and the "warriors" abandoned the city and fled.
the ais all laughed.
many times, fortresses are breached from within.
