"The Classic of Mountains and Seas", an ancient classic full of imagination, now shows new charm with the help of artificial intelligence technology. The editor of Downcodes will take you to understand how AI gives new vitality to this ancient book and the innovation it brings in the field of content creation.
In China's rich cultural treasure house, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is undoubtedly a bright pearl. This ancient geography full of fantasy has attracted the attention of countless creators for a long time. Now, with the help of artificial intelligence technology, this ancient classic has taken on new life.
Recently, Douyin blogger AI Madhouse sparked heated discussions on the short video platform with an AI-reproduced video of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". This work, titled "Nanshan Yi Jing·Part 1", accurately restores the mountains, rivers, landforms and rare animals described in the original work. From Qishan Mountain, which is rich in resources, to Zhuyu, which makes people forget about hunger, to the 桪tree, whose fruit tastes like persimmons, and the white apes that live in Tangting Mountain, every detail is cleverly presented.
Amazingly, this beautiful video was completed in just 8 days from conception to production. The blogger independently completed all work including script creation, AI-generated images and videos, and post-editing. The tool used was Jimeng AI. In order to ensure the accuracy of cultural inheritance, the blogger adopts a creative method that combines documentary and popular science. The scene design in the video incorporates landforms with Chinese characteristics, such as Danxia, Yadan and fjords, while the mythological plot refers to the research results of the famous mythologist Yuan Ke, striving to restore the reality of the ancient world.
This innovative attempt has been widely praised by the audience. Some netizens even said that the video quality surpassed CCTV’s production level. At the same time, some people have also proposed the idea of adapting "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" into a 3A-level game, showing the huge potential of this IP.
It is worth noting that the AI adaptation of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is not an isolated case. Recently, many content creators have begun to try to use AI technology to produce short dramas on various themes. For example, the sci-fi short drama "Awakening" launched by Douyin blogger Wukong AI, and the video clip of "The Strange Fairy" produced by Wolf, the main artist of AI at Bilibili UP, both demonstrate the strong potential of AI in the field of video production.
This emerging creative method not only greatly reduces production costs and shortens the production cycle, but also brings more possibilities to content creation. Compared with traditional short dramas, which often require hundreds of thousands or even millions of production costs, AI short dramas greatly improve efficiency while ensuring picture quality.
AI technology brings new possibilities to content creation, and also provides new ways for the inheritance and development of traditional culture. The editor of Downcodes believes that more exciting AI works will be presented to us in the future.
