If this kind of Wensheng video large model technology really develops and matures, will it have a positive or negative impact on the entire industry?

However, Director Wei quickly put this worry behind him.

"If I don't do it, someone across the Pacific will do it."

"If I can control myself, can I control the people next door?"

"Celebrities are unemployed, so they're unemployed. The industry can't possibly get better if we rely on this group of people."

"It would be better to have a bottom-up reshuffle."

“Only when the sands are washed away by the waves can we see who is truly worthy of the title.”

Even if this technology matures in the future and everyone can be a director, there will still be differences in quality.

At that time, it all comes down to personal aesthetics.

Technology is just a tool.

How the technology is realized depends on the individual.

Vincent's video simply expanded the technology that was previously circulated within a small circle, allowing everyone to master it.

But personal aesthetics are diverse.

And it's very personal.

Technology in this area cannot be completely replaced.

Including the pictures, post-production, plot, and editing, everything depends on the individual's control.

Given the same story, if you let Kaizi direct it, he'll prioritize personal expression, and Chen Feiyu as the lead actor would be ideal. Let Jiang Wen direct it, and he'll still not care if the audience understands it, as long as he's happy. Let Zhang Yimou direct it, and what's the point of the plot? Just good visuals will do. Let Director Wei direct it, and he'll make the plot flow smoothly, but he still can't match the depth of these predecessors.

Technology is a foundation.

The final product ultimately depends on personal preference.

As for the stars...

When they have enough data models to support post-production, they can use their faces to act without real people appearing on screen, and even perform acting skills far beyond their personal level.

For example, it is difficult to expect baby to suddenly become an acting talent.

But you can expect Aibaby to become an acting talent. Of course, this involves the issue of reputation and portrait rights.

Therefore, the licensing fee will also be a considerable amount.

From this perspective, celebrities will not lose their jobs.

They can also make a lot of money by selling their looks.

At most, it's not as good as before.

It's still much better than ordinary people.

"If this continues, it will be difficult to judge the best actor and actress in the future, and veteran actors with better real-life acting skills will suffer."

Through technical adjustments, AI stars’ acting skills have the opportunity to show the level of best actor or actress.

But it is difficult for them to reach this level in reality.

So it’s not fair to those actors who really have won the Best Actor or Best Actress awards.

But Director Wei quickly convinced himself:

"Awards aren't based on acting skills, they're based on connections. This is better than nothing, and it won't have much of an impact."

Lei Jiayin's acting skills are certainly not bad, but does he have the acting skills to sweep all the award seasons? That represents a unique level.

From actors to works in the same period, is there nothing comparable?

There are different opinions on the level of Zhao Liying's acting skills, but if you insist on saying that she has reached the level of a movie queen, the filter is a bit too thick.

As for Li Gengxi's Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress... let's not mention it.

The small circle has destroyed its own professionalism, making it a joke to the audience and to the real professionals.

But people in that small circle don’t care at all.

So it's good to overturn and start over.

How can we build a good industry ecology if we are with a group of insects?

……

"Where is Director Wei going?"

living room.

After Wen Yongshan finished the call, she found that Director Wei was missing.

At this time, Baby washed herself up and pointed towards the bedroom: "It seems like I'm going to take care of some business."

"Then I'll go wash it too."

She hadn't had time to clean it just now.

This is a good opportunity to sort it out.

Just after I finished washing up, I saw Director Wei coming out of the room.

Unexpectedly, Director Wei did not start the battle.

Instead, he asked a question that neither of the two women understood.

“Have you ever heard of a skit?”

Wen Yongshan and baby looked at each other.

"Do you know about short videos?"

"Of course I know. Short videos are the most popular thing on Station A right now," said baby.

In fact, long videos are also what Station A does best now.

But the most valuable asset is still short videos.

The audience's patience is getting shorter and shorter, and few people can calm down and appreciate things that require concentration.

This is true for everything from books to long videos.

Although short videos actually kill more time and energy.

A short video certainly doesn’t take up much time.

But if you add up N short videos, several hours will pass before you know it.

But the audience won't count this.

Most people only pay more attention to superficial things.

Short videos are only a few minutes long, and some are even only a few dozen seconds long.

Long videos can easily be more than an hour long.

Therefore, few people think that watching short videos will waste a lot of time.

Then short videos took up more and more time.

This is also a major trend.

Although Director Wei now owns the largest short video platform, he actually doesn't want it to develop like this, but he has no choice.

It's not good, but everyone is doing this. If he dares to take the lead in going against this trend, a few people will cheer him on, but most people will call him a moron and stop using Station A.

Capital will even vote with its feet.

Director Wei is not a saint.

I won't do such a thing as digging my own grave.

Unless he feels confident that he can cover the problem, but Director Wei is not sure about this matter.

Join if you can't.

This is the royal way.

Compared to short videos, short dramas are also a new track.

It’s still in its wild stage.

If we land on the beach, it will be another huge gold mine.

Moreover, having him occupy the untapped short drama market can also make short dramas more formal.

It will not be frequently regulated due to banned content.

"Short plays are equivalent to short videos within a TV series. They condense dozens of episodes of a TV series into a few episodes, and the length of each episode is also shortened to about ten minutes."

The two women blinked.

Baby frowned and said, "Wouldn't the work produced by this be rubbish? What kind of content can be produced in ten minutes?"

Director Wei calmly said, "In terms of quality, short plays are definitely not as good as long plays. However, in terms of content, short plays are more dense than long plays. They can quickly grab the audience's attention and keep them watching. Then, they can find a point that particularly captivates the audience, and then they pay to watch."

Wen Yongshan immediately reacted: "Director Wei, if this is the case, the easiest way is ghs, right?"

Director Wei nodded and said, "Indeed, GHS will definitely be the fastest to see results. There are still too many LSPs."

You shoot for quality, but whether it looks good or not is actually a matter of personal opinion, because aesthetics is a very subjective thing. Even if a movie has a good reputation, there will be audiences who don't like it.

For example, Farewell My Concubine is undoubtedly a masterpiece, but due to the subject matter, Director Wei was not interested in it at all. But if you go for GHS, it's very easy.

LSPS' interests are almost the same.

They are very easy to serve.

And it is easy to get good reviews.

After all, the places that receive rave reviews from all viewers are often not-so-serious banned websites.

"But GHS is illegal in the country, but it can be done overseas."

You can do it directly overseas.

The kind that doesn't need to be covered up.

The market is also very large.

But there are more LSPS than just domestic ones.

In 2016, British entrepreneur Tim Stockley founded OnlyFans, a social platform where subscribers profit from creators' paid content. Creators directly receive 80% of their monthly revenue from subscribers, while the platform only receives 20%.

Then, Director Wei clearly remembered that he had read OnlyFans’ financial report in his previous life.

In 2023, the company generated a huge pre-tax profit of $6.58 million with only 42 full-time employees.

Creators received a total of $53.2 billion after deducting taxes, refunds and other deductions.

This number is actually not intuitive enough.

At that time, the media made an interesting comparison:

OnlyFans, an adult social platform, has surpassed the NBA in total revenue thanks to its creators' self-generated content. Yes, the NBA that plays basketball.

The power of foreign LSPs is so terrifying.

James, Curry, and Durant, combined, are nothing compared to the global LSPS.

The key is that this kind of money is legal abroad.

Director Wei is too lazy to make this kind of money.

Although it is legal abroad, it is definitely illegal in the country and you will be criticized.

Director Wei is just learning with an open mind.

The success of OnlyFans proves that the market prospects of this industry are beyond doubt.

Even if it is just scratching the surface, it can still support many people.

Many domestic anchors who skirt the line do the same thing.

As for whether or not it is illegal to skirt the line, it mainly depends on the mood of the platform and the attitude of the higher-ups.

There are no clear regulations.

As long as there is no order from above and the platform turns a blind eye, Wu Liufang's live broadcast is completely compliant.
