China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 411 Scarlett has an idea
"The main creative staff of the crew, as well as several major actors now in Los Angeles, such as Scarlett Johansson, Johan Philip Asbak, Juliette Binoche and others." Avi Arad said.

"Hmm, that's good. I also hope to meet them." He Fang said with a smile.

He Fang is still very interested in the widowed sister Scarlett Johansson. Although they have met on many occasions, this is the first time they have collaborated.

He Fang still admires this woman who is only 1.6 meters tall but is famous all over the world. To be honest, she is actually the same as Anne. The audience likes their beauty very much, but their performance in word-of-mouth and box office is okay. But it just won too few awards.

But Annie is different now. She has come ashore, achieved enlightenment and become a goddess who has won awards and box office and is both beautiful and aloof.

But Scarlett Johansson doesn't have it yet. She has box office and a classic movie image, but she lacks significant awards.

She knows where to flatter people, so she is thoughtful.

Although she is no longer young and is already 31, she has good skills and has her own advantages. She is petite.

So, at the party that night, Scarlett Johansson kept firing electricity in various directions, rubbing against others by accident, or touching them by accident while laughing.

Anyway, He Fang accepted Scarlett Johansson's constant sexual breath, and He Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Do you really think she is such a casual person?Don’t you want to make something for yourself?

What can be gained?That's not all.

He Fang is also making a choice. Anyway, he can't promise it because he doesn't plan to make any more award-winning movies to compete for Oscars.

"Hey, are there any good movies that are competing for the Olympics recently?" Scarlett asked.

"No, there may not be one for some time in the future. Of course, it's hard to say." He Fang waved his hands.

"Ha, who knows? Maybe you will be inspired tomorrow." Scarlett smiled.

It seems like she is determined?
"Oh, inspiration? It's not that easy, especially for awards. I still have some inspiration for commercial films. For awards... Oh, it's not that easy." He Fang smiled bitterly and picked up the glass to drink. One mouthful.

"How about I help you look for it?" Scarlett asked.

"Huh?" He Fang immediately understood. All they had to do was let him go out alone to shoot and train her.

"How can it be so easy to find? I have very high requirements. If you didn't find a lot of them but I rejected them all, you would think I did it on purpose, and then both of you would be embarrassed." He Fang said.

"Of course not. If it's rejected, it's rejected. It's a matter of probability. Who can guarantee that it will be successful? When you were filming "Dallas Buyers Club", the script had been shelved for 20 years. Who would have thought that this script could be successful? So, do you have a standard for what kind of stories can win awards?”

Scarlett asked.

"Indeed, there are standards. Every director sees different things. When some directors get a script, they feel that the story can resonate with him, and he can also inspire more inspiration in this script, so he will Develop the value of the script to a level that goes far beyond the script.

And some directors have no sense at all when they take a script that others think will win awards or sell high box office, and they don't even know how to start filming.So, you know, why award-winning film directors choose scripts, they choose the ones that make them excited and have the desire and inspiration to re-create. "

He Fang's explanation made Scarlett understand a lot, so she tilted her head and thought about it.

"You mean you just need to find a story that gives you the desire and inspiration to create? So you said that a lot of scripts may be rejected by you?"

"Of course, do you think I read less scripts every day? I have two companies that are responsible for collecting scripts and writing stories, and I have to constantly look for stories from outside. I read not only a hundred, but a dozen stories every day. There are still some high-quality scripts that come to my hands after many layers of screening.

But so far, there are very few that catch my eye and actually put them into practice. "He Fang sighed. "I understand. Then I will come to you when I have a good story. Scarlett smiled and then came over, "Are there any other activities later?"I still don’t understand the character. Can you teach me alone? "

He Fang looked at Scarlett's raised eyebrows and the rippling look in her eyes, and he knew what the other party meant.

He Fang smiled and then nodded: "Okay."

So, after the two said goodbye to everyone, they went to have in-depth exchanges. As for what they exchanged, this...

Anyway, He Fang had a feeling that he had met a little wild cat. It was petite, but its ferociousness... was definitely one of a kind.

Anne is a nun who is also crazy, and Scarlett is a Pussycat Doll, each with their own characteristics.

……

He Fang's schedule for the next time is very orderly. He is preparing for "Ghost in the Shell" and discussing the script with Scarlett from time to time.

Some settings of "Ghost in the Shell" are actually similar to "Alita", but the story of "Alita" takes place in the 26th century, while the story of "Ghost in the Shell" develops in 2029.

What are the similarities between them?Human beings have developed electronic brains and mechanical limbs, which means that humans and machines have been highly integrated.This is where the two are similar, both have a cyber style.

It is also an electronic brain robot. "Alita" tells the story of the internal strife that occurs after human civilization reaches Eternal Civilization, and "Ghost in the Shell" tells the story of another problem: humans and machines merge into one, and human beings The boundaries of machines are also becoming blurred.Due to the rapid development of AI technology, humans and machines seem to be distinguished only by whether they have a "soul" or not.

To put it at the extreme, a fully artificial prosthetic body can be controlled by a program and become a machine AI. When the soul is input, it becomes a human, or a biochemical human.But what exactly is a "soul"?

The popularity of electronic brains, while connecting the human brain to external networks, also puts people at risk of brain intrusion.The most serious brain intrusion crime is "ghost hacking". In the case of being invaded, the entire personality of a person, including past memories and personal physical judgment, will be completely controlled by the hacker.

To combat increasingly novel cybercrimes, various measures have been taken, such as the development of numerous protective walls and barriers, as well as regulations and the strengthening of security systems within neural network systems.

Against this background, the Ministry of Internal Affairs specially appointed Daisuke Aramaki as the minister, and established a secret special force "Public Security Section [-]" (commonly known as: Ghost in the Shell) with Major Motoko Kusanagi as the captain. Confidentially resolve extraordinary situations that cannot be handled conventionally or require prompt action.

The criminals faced by Public Security Section [-] may sometimes be high-ranking officials in the government, sometimes they may be opportunists who steal other people's brains, and more likely they may be companions around them; every case is a rethinking of human existence. It may also bring heavy mental pressure to every member of the team.

……

This is the story background of "Ghost in the Shell". "Ghost in the Shell" explores the criminal and ethical issues that arise when humans become cyborgs. This kind of story may not seem so shocking now, but in the future This kind of thinking was very shocking in the late 20s.

Of course, if another ten years pass, what will be even more shocking is that some of the things in this story will become reality.

For example, by 2023, human brain-computer interfaces may really be realized, and the development of AI will not be stopped. So-called humanoid robots have also taken shape, and quadruped robots have long been mature.

Therefore, the concerns in "Ghost in the Shell" are very likely to become a reality. If there is a brain-computer interface, and electronic brains are slowly developed, or it is called consciousness uploading, what if someone maliciously creates a virus to control other people's consciousness? ?
This is a very real problem, but in 2015, everyone still thought it was science fiction. In fact, this is really not science fiction, but a reality in the near future.

He Fang even thinks that hard science fiction stories that may happen in the future cannot be classified in the science fiction category. Science fiction should be like "The Three-Body Problem", which will probably not happen at all, or like "The Wandering Earth" It can't happen, this is called science fiction.

There is more than a 90% chance that something like "Ghost in the Shell" will happen. This can only be regarded as a future reality theme.
