Recently, the collision between AI technology and fan culture has produced amazing sparks! Xiang Liu, the beloved character in the hit drama "Sauvignon Blanc 2", left countless fans distraught because of his tragic ending. The editor of Downcodes found that with the help of AI technology, fans found a unique way to express their emotions, soothe their regrets, and set off a unique virtual emotional carnival. Let’s take a look at how this AI-driven trend is sweeping social media.
Recently, a wave of enthusiasm driven by artificial intelligence has swept social media platforms, giving the beloved character Xiang Liu in the hit drama "Sauvignon Blanc 2" a new lease of life. The topics #EmbraceXiangliu with AI# and #tanjianci和Xiangliu across time and space# have successively appeared on the Douyin hot list, triggering an unprecedented virtual emotional carnival.
In the play, Xiang Liu, played by Tan Jianci, touched the hearts of countless viewers with his affection and sacrifice. However, the ending of Xiang Liu's death in battle left fans distraught. With the help of AI technology, fans found a unique way to soothe their emotions: at the moment Xiang Liu fell to the ground and died, they projected themselves into the screen through the AI-generated video and stretched out their hands to catch the broken soul. .
This innovative expression comes from the idea of a sad poached egg created by a Douyin user. Through the WeChat mini program Meilian, users can easily create such emotionally impactful videos. The operation steps are simple and intuitive: just open the mini program, enter the creator password, upload the photo, and describe the desired scene details, such as two people hugging each other, their faces not deformed, natural, etc., and AI will generate the corresponding video.
In order to obtain the best results, the platform also thoughtfully provides some tips. For example, use simple words and sentence structures to describe the scene and avoid overly complex language. In addition, choosing photos of the whole body standing sideways can make the generated pictures more natural and smooth.
This AI-generated cross-dimensional interaction is not limited to Xiangliu, but also extends to the wider fan culture. AI couple photos have become a hot topic on Xiaohongshu. Many netizens have posted AI composite photos with their idols, realizing their dream of having close contact with their favorite idols.
This phenomenon reflects the profound impact of AI technology in the fields of entertainment and emotional expression. Not only does it satisfy fans' desire for virtual interaction, it also provides viewers with a novel way to deal with their emotional attachment to fictional characters. Through AI, fans have found a safe, innovative, and expressive way to express their emotions and imaginations.
However, this phenomenon also triggers some deep thoughts. Although AI provides a new channel for emotional catharsis, we also need to be wary of the risks of over-immersion in the virtual world. How to maintain the emotional balance in real life while enjoying the convenience brought by technology is a question that every user needs to seriously consider.
The development of AI technology provides new ways of expression for fan culture and also brings new challenges. How to find a balance between virtuality and reality is a question worthy of our deep consideration. I hope that in the future, technology can better serve people’s emotional needs and bring more positive impacts.
