以前,如果你想做一个电影,你需要很多东西。Before, if you wanted to make a movie, you needed many things.
你需要很多钱。You needed a lot of money.
你需要很多漂亮的人。You needed many beautiful people.
你需要很好的照相机。You needed very good cameras.

你知道怎么做吗?Do you know how to do it?
你只要坐在家里。You just have to sit at home.
你打开电脑。You turn on the computer.
你给电脑一张照片。You give the computer a photo.
或者,你写几个字。Or, you write a few words.
你告诉电脑你想看什么。You tell the computer what you want to see.

你写完字以后,等一分钟。After you finish writing the words, wait one minute.
电脑就做好了。The computer finishes it.

这个小电影里的人,就像真的人一样。The people in this small movie are just like real people.
他们的眼睛会动。Their eyes can move.

他叫Kanye West。He is called Kanye West.
大家都知道他。Everyone knows him.
有人用这个软件做了一个视频。Someone used this software to make a video.
视频里是Kanye West。In the video is Kanye West.
他在一个中国的房子里。He is inside a Chinese house.
他在唱一首中国的歌。He is singing a Chinese song.
这非常奇怪。This is very strange.
因为Kanye West是美国人。Because Kanye West is American.
他不会说中文。He cannot speak Chinese.
但是在视频里,他唱得非常好。But in the video, he sings very well.
他的嘴巴动得也很对。His mouth moves correctly too.
这就是电脑做的。This is what the computer made.
还有一个例子。There is another example.

他们是非常有名的中国电影明星。They are very famous Chinese movie stars.
有人用电脑做了一个他们打架的视频。Someone used a computer to make a video of them fighting.
这看起来像是以前的老电影。This looks like an old movie from before.
但是这也不是真的。But this is not real either.
这是电脑想出来的。This was thought up by the computer.
还有人用电脑做了美国的电影明星。Someone also used the computer to make American movie stars.
比如Brad Pitt。For example, Brad Pitt.
视频里他在打架。In the video, he is fighting.
你看他的脸,真的就是他。You look at his face, it really is him.

这就是这个新软件的能力。This is the ability of this new software.
任何人都可以做这样的电影。Anyone can make movies like this.
你不需要是一个做电影的人。You don't need to be a filmmaker.
你也不需要有很多钱。You also don't need to have a lot of money.
因为这个软件现在不要钱。Because this software currently costs no money.
或者只要很少的钱。Or it only costs very little money.
这对很多普通人来说,是一件好事。For many ordinary people, this is a good thing.
我们可以做很多有意思的东西。We can make many interesting things.
我们可以做自己的电影。We can make our own movies.
这真的很好玩。This is really fun.
但是,不是所有人都高兴。However, not everyone is happy.
这件事情让一些人非常生气。This matter makes some people very angry.
是美国的电影公司。It is the American movie companies.
比如大家都知道的迪士尼公司。For example, the Disney company that everyone knows.
还有派拉蒙公司。And the Paramount company.
这些大公司非常不高兴。These big companies are very unhappy.
因为他们觉得这个软件偷了他们的东西。Because they feel this software stole their things.
你想一想,电脑怎么知道怎么做电影?Think about it, how does the computer know how to make movies?
电脑必须先学习。The computer must learn first.
电脑看了很多很多的电影。The computer watched many, many movies.
这些电影是谁的?Whose movies are these?
这些电影是迪士尼的。These movies belong to Disney.
是那些大公司的。They belong to those big companies.
电脑看了他们的电影,学会了怎么做。The computer watched their movies and learned how to do it.
然后,电脑做出了新的东西。Then, the computer made new things.
但是,做这个软件的公司没有给大公司钱。But, the company that made this software did not give the big companies money.
所以,美国的电影公司觉得这是不对的。So, American movie companies feel this is not right.
他们说,你不能用我们的电影来教你的电脑。They say, you cannot use our movies to teach your computer.
如果大家都用电脑做电影,谁还去电影院呢?If everyone uses computers to make movies, who will still go to the movie theater?
这是一个大问题。This is a big problem.
还有一个问题是关于人的。There is another problem about people.
就是那些有名的明星。It is about those famous stars.
比如Tom Cruise。For example, Tom Cruise.
他的脸是非常值钱的。His face is very valuable.
如果我想请他拍电影,我要给他很多钱。If I want to hire him to make a movie, I have to give him a lot of money.
但是现在,我用这个软件,就可以做他的电影。But now, I use this software, and I can make his movie.
我不需要给他钱。I don't need to give him money.
他在视频里说话,做事。He speaks and does things in the video.
但这都不是他自己想做的。But none of this is what he wants to do himself.
这是我让他做的。This is what I made him do.
这对他来说,公平吗?Is this fair to him?
如果你是一个明星,你可能也会不高兴。If you were a star, you might also be unhappy.
因为有人用你的脸做了一些奇怪的事情。Because someone used your face to do some strange things.
也许他在视频里说了一些不好的话。Maybe he said some bad words in the video.
但是大家以为是你说的。But everyone thinks it was you who said it.
这会让你很麻烦。This will cause you a lot of trouble.
所以,现在有很多争论。So, now there are many arguments.
一边是觉得好玩的人。On one side are the people who think it is fun.
大家觉得这是一个新的技术。Everyone feels this is a new technology.

大家都在下载这个软件。Everyone is downloading this software.
大家都在做各种各样的视频。Everyone is making all kinds of videos.
但是另一边,是电影公司和明星。But on the other side, are the movie companies and stars.
他们觉得这是不对的。They feel this is not right.
他们想要法律来保护他们。They want the law to protect them.
他们说,这是我们的东西,你不能随便用。They say, this is our stuff, you cannot use it casually.
这就像如果你画了一幅画。This is just like if you painted a picture.
别人拿走了你的画,学习怎么画。Someone took your picture to learn how to paint.
然后他画了很多一样的画。Then he painted many pictures that were the same.
但是他没有告诉你。But he didn't tell you.
你觉得这样可以吗?Do you think this is okay?
这是一个很难回答的问题。This is a very difficult question to answer.
现在,法律还没有准备好。Right now, the law is not ready yet.
因为技术发展得太快了。Because technology develops too fast.
去年的电脑还没有这么聪明。Last year's computers were not this smart yet.
今年的电脑已经可以做电影了。This year's computers can already make movies.
我们不知道明年会怎么样。We don't know what next year will be like.
也许明年,电脑可以做更长的电影。Maybe next year, computers can make longer movies.
也许我们可以看见全新的电影明星。Maybe we can see brand new movie stars.
他们都不是真人。They are not real people.
他们都是电脑做出来的。They are all made by computers.
这真的很有意思,也很让人担心。This is really interesting, and also worrying.
我们刚才说的,其实就是关于“Seedance 2.0”这个软件的事情。What we just talked about is actually about the software "Seedance 2.0".
这就叫人工智能视频技术。This is called artificial intelligence video technology.
它让我们可以很容易地做视频。It allows us to make videos very easily.
但是它也带来了很多关于“版权”的问题。But it also brings many problems regarding "copyright".
版权就是说这个东西是谁的。Copyright means whose thing this is.
现在,中国和美国的公司正在讨论这个问题。Now, Chinese and American companies are discussing this problem.
做电影的人很担心。Filmmakers are very worried.
做技术的人很高兴。Tech people are very happy.
这就是现在的样子。This is how it is now.
我们不知道最后会怎么样。We don't know what will happen in the end.
但是我们可以看见,世界变化得很快。But we can see that the world changes very fast.
我们要准备好去学习新的东西。We need to be ready to learn new things.
也许有一天,你也可以用电脑做一个大电影。Maybe one day, you can also use a computer to make a big movie.
