Actor Tony Leung thinks the use of AI in the film industry is a "double-edged sword".

演员梁朝伟认为，人工智能在电影业中的使用是一把“双刃剑”。



The 63-year-old screen star, full name Tony Leung Chiu-wai, reflected on the impact artificial intelligence (AI) is having on Hollywood, and said that while it saves money, it also takes away the "soul" of projects.

这位63岁的银幕明星，全名梁朝伟，对人工智能正对好莱坞产生的影响进行了反思，并表示，虽然它节省了资金，但也夺走了项目的“灵魂”。

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Tony mused: "I think AI is a double-edged sword. It saves us a lot of time on pre-production and post-production.

在接受《好莱坞报道》采访时，梁朝伟沉思道：“我认为人工智能是一把双刃剑。 它在前期制作和后期制作上为我们节省了大量时间。”

"It saves a lot of money but this will go to mainstream movies, the popcorn ones — because AI filmmaking is easier and saves money.

“它节省了大量资金，但这将流向主流电影，也就是爆米花电影——因为（人工智能电影制作）更容易且省钱。”

"But at the same time, a lot of people have lost their jobs. You don't need to think. There's no creativity. It's just calculations … there's no soul."

“但与此同时，很多人失去了工作。 你不需要思考。 没有创造力。 这只是计算……没有灵魂。”

Tony — one of Asia's most successful and internationally recognised actors — also spoke about the importance of keeping movies appealing to the younger generations amid the rise of smaller screen entertainment options such as streaming.

梁朝伟——亚洲最成功且最具国际知名度的演员之一——也谈到了在流媒体等小屏幕娱乐选项兴起的情况下，保持电影对年轻一代吸引力的重要性。

He explained: "We need to educate them on how to enjoy different types of movies, not just one template. It's not just enjoyment, but sometimes movies don't have an answer for you and you have to try to figure it out yourself.

他解释道：“我们需要教育他们如何欣赏不同类型的电影，而不仅仅是单一模板。 这不仅仅是娱乐，有时候电影不会给你答案，你必须自己去尝试弄清楚。”

"That's why we need different kinds of movies.

“这就是为什么我们需要不同类型的电影。”

"I think smaller-scale productions will dominate the market because of so many challenges — the short-form videos, the streaming, the gaming, and all other entertainment.

“我认为小规模制作将主导市场，因为面临着太多挑战——短视频、流媒体、游戏，以及其他所有娱乐形式。”

"The new generation, they have never had a theatrical experience so you have to find a way to invite these young kids to go to cinema."

“新一代人从未有过影院观影体验，所以你必须想办法邀请这些年轻人走进电影院。”

When it comes to his own projects, Tony has starred in numerous movies - including Happy Together and In The Mood for Love helmed by director Wong Kar-wai. Future projects between the pair are rumoured, and Tony said he chooses those he signs up for based not the director.

谈到自己的项目时，梁朝伟曾出演过众多电影——包括由导演王家卫掌镜的《春光乍泄》和《花样年华》。 有传言称两人未来还有合作项目，梁朝伟表示，他选择接拍哪些项目是基于导演而非其他因素。

He said: " What kind of story, what genre, is not important to me.

他说：“什么样的故事，什么样的类型，对我来说并不重要。”

"I need to have some feelings for this person or love their movies or I love this person but I never plan because I don't want to control something that I can't control because that's life — it won't happen as you wish."

“我需要对这个人有感觉，或者喜爱他们的电影，或者我喜爱这个人，但我从不做计划，因为我不想控制我无法控制的事情，因为那就是生活——它不会如你所愿。”
