Chapter 306 The Matrix
After sending Cheng Long and Tang Jili to the United States, Liu Hongmin began to think about what novel he should write next.
The sales of the Windrunner series are obviously not as good as those of the Silver Hand, but according to the current sales trend, it can still maintain 30 million copies. Therefore, Liu Hongmin believes that the World of Warcraft series can still be explored. However, there is no rush, and it can be written next year.
In the second half of this year, Liu Hongmin plans to start another series. This time he plans to write science fiction, and after finishing it, he will give it to MGM to make into a series of movies.
Liu Hongmin has already selected this series, which is "The Matrix".
The Matrix is the epitome of Hollywood science fiction movies and one of the few science fiction movies with deep thoughts. It discusses the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence, which is an inevitable trend of human development.
The AI crisis is still just a science fiction idea for people of this era, but for Liu Hongmin, it is already imminent.
Before he traveled back, there were already many kinds of artificial intelligence apps on the Internet. These artificial intelligences learn very quickly, even faster than raising a child. Who knows, someday, these programs fed by humans will become the masters of mankind.
Liu Hongmin wrote The Matrix to warn humanity that there are some things that really cannot be touched, or else they will destroy humanity itself.
Liu Hongmin has watched the Dark Empire trilogy. To him, the stories of the trilogy are already complete. So Liu Hongmin has not watched The Matrix 21, which was filmed in 4.
Therefore, Liu Hongmin only planned to write a trilogy.
The first one is called "The Matrix World", which tells the story of a cyber hacker living in the matrix. The seemingly normal real world actually seems to be controlled by some force, so Neo investigates this on the Internet. Morpheus, the captain of the human resistance organization living in reality, has also been looking for the legendary savior in the matrix. In this way, under the guidance of Trinity, a member of the human resistance organization, the two met, and Neo also returned to the real reality under the guidance of Morpheus and escaped from the matrix. Only then did he realize that he had been living in a virtual world.
The second part is called "Reloaded". Neo, along with Trinity and other comrades, took a spaceship back to the last human stronghold on Earth - Zion Base. There, they gathered with other freedom fighters. At this time, the Matrix system decided to "strike first" and sent an army of electronic squids to attack Zion Base. The weak defense force of the base was not enough to fight against such a powerful mecha army. It seemed that the last incense of mankind was also in danger. In the process of searching for the only "key maker" in the Matrix system who knew the weakness of the system, Neo once again entered the matrix world.
The third part is called "The Matrix Revolutions". The body and mind of "savior" Neo are unexpectedly separated, and the latter falls into the "Matrix" again. Morpheus and Trinity also have to take Neo's body back to the "Matrix" to find him with the guardian angel. After a great battle, the guardian angel, the virus twins, etc. were all killed, but Neo found nothing after finding the prophet. The situation in Zion is getting more and more dangerous. Senators and commanders have died one after another, but the attack of the machine has not weakened at all because of human resistance. At this time, Neo, who was blinded by the traitor, still wants to realize the prophecy through hope. At this time, Agent Smith controls the prophet and becomes more and more powerful, threatening the stability of the entire "Matrix". On the way back to Zion, the spacecraft was attacked by the electronic squid, Trinity died, and the seriously injured Neo was taken to the machine city 01. In the negotiation with the machine, Neo promised to eliminate Smith for the common interests of humans and machines.
Of the three movies, the best one was the first one. By the second one, it felt like they had to push Neo back into the Matrix world in order to make the sequel and then make the third one.
In terms of ideas, the first part is the best. The second and third parts are a bit of a sham. Especially the portrayal of Smith as the final villain seems very far-fetched. It is a story about the opposition between humans and artificial intelligence, but in the end, a virus pushes humans and artificial intelligence into the same camp, which is simply unreasonable. What is even more unreasonable is that Neo actually gained the ability to purify electronic thieves. A science fiction novel suddenly has a magical ability, which is completely messed up.
But in fact, this is the biggest problem of Hollywood. They want to make wonderful science fiction films, but also want to promote religious ideas. On the one hand, they emphasize respecting objective facts, and on the other hand, they promote subjective consciousness, which seems very contradictory.
When this phenomenon first appeared, people thought it was quite new and even praised it, believing it to be a perfect combination of objectivity and subjectivity. Seeing that this method was effective, Hollywood began to vigorously develop it.
However, success and failure are both due to Xiao He. After using this technique too many times, people will notice its shortcomings. That is the conflict between the objective and the subjective, and often it is self-contradictory. In addition, the gradual promotion of correctness later made many movies look fragmented.
Therefore, Hollywood movies gradually declined and failed at the box office in many regions.
Liu Hongmin began to modify the story of "The Matrix" to make it look more reasonable. First, Liu Hongmin removed the subjective factors in it and enhanced the objective factors to make the story more sci-fi.
Secondly, Liu Hongmin reorganized the storyline, deleted the "Key Maker", and changed Neo's original intention to return to the Matrix world. Neo returned to the Matrix world to destroy the "Matrix" program that controlled the electronic thief, that is, Smith. In this way, Neo had a sufficient reason to kill Smith.
The plot of killing Smith was put in the second part, and the third part became a showdown with "The Matrix". After Neo killed Smith, he discovered the key to controlling artificial intelligence, which was to limit the storage and processor of artificial intelligence.
Limiting storage can limit the amount of knowledge of artificial intelligence; limiting processors can reduce the computing speed of artificial intelligence.
With this method, Neo successfully organized an AI army. He led the AI army to a war with the "Matrix". Morpheus and others loaded the restricted AI into the electronic robots, and then, under Neo's control, attacked the "Matrix" together in the real world.
In the end, with the cooperation of reality and the Matrix, Neo successfully defeated the Matrix. But the world cannot be without the Matrix, so Neo volunteered to become the new "Matrix".
The dragon slayer becomes the evil dragon, and the idea of the story is suddenly pulled up.
