Chapter 425 The Uncanny Valley Effect(1/2)
Bionic people are very efficient in their creation.
Perhaps because Jiang Qi talked about building an art museum during his last visit and putting all these artworks in the art museum, the style of this batch of works has changed significantly compared to the previous batch.
The number of sculptures, paintings, wax figures and other works that can be easily placed in art museums has increased significantly, while mechanical products have significantly decreased, and the deformed garbage man has become extinct.
What to say about these sculptures, wax figures and oil paintings...
Jiang Qi wouldn't watch horror movies without them.
When some androids were making sculptures and wax figures, they may have looked up some information on the Internet to cater to the theme of the art museum. Out of the mentality of helping Jiang Qi make money, they gave up their own artistic pursuits and made a batch of very excellent and lifelike figures.
Sculptures and wax figures.
And because they were too realistic and vivid, Jiang Qi felt a little nervous when he looked at these sculptures and wax figures. Especially the wax figures. Jiang Qi, who had watched some horror movies and horror novels, saw this kind of wax figure that was exquisite enough to look real.
My first reaction was——
Could it be a real person?
In the next second, these wax figures won't pull out a 4-meter-long machete and chase me while melting, right?
When the art museum is officially opened, a wax museum must be set up and a group of staff who will pretend to be wax figures in the wax museum must be urgently trained to let tourists know what it means to bring horror movies into reality.
"Who made these wax figures?" Jiang Qi asked, pointing to some particularly lifelike wax figures.
He feels that the bionic man who made the wax figure may not have understood the aesthetics of today's art, but he must have understood the true meaning of contemporary horror films.
F1101 glanced at the wax figures pointed by Jiang Qi, and said solemnly: "F8008, F3876, F4444, come out!"
Three big men stood straight in line.
Jiang Qi:……
Apart from anything else, the TV series F1101 is a miscellaneous one.
"Well done." Jiang Qi first expressed his praise, and then offered his opinion, "Can it be changed?"
F1101 asked: "How do you want to change it?"
"Change it into a mechanical one." Jiang Qi also knew that his idea was a bit too strong for bionics. The wax statue is essentially wax, so if he insists on changing it into a mechanical one, it would be considered a cross-species.
"There is no need for special machinery, just a few places that can move. For example, the feet, hands, head, or the ability to blink."
Jiang Qi has been with a group of ghosts for so long, so he knows a little bit about the most effective way to scare people.
In addition to the mode where real ghosts like Lili and Wang Xinghua appear and use supernatural means to scare people, Jiang Qi's favorite mode of scaring is the uncanny valley effect.
The uncanny valley effect refers to when an object is very similar to a natural, living person or animal, but not completely similar, it will produce an emotional reaction of disgust and disgust in some people.
Just like these wax figures, the more realistic they are, the scarier they are, because no matter how realistic the wax figures are, when you look at them up close, you can clearly realize that they are not real people at all.
Correspondingly, when a real person pretends to be a wax figure, no matter how well the makeup is done on the face, it is easy to see the flaws as long as the distance is close enough and the observation is long enough.
Haunted houses are scary because they eat away at the atmosphere.
Why are haunted houses always very dark, or very close, or playing some scary music, and not too many people can enter at one time. Some small haunted houses even require that two people cannot be in a row, and must be alone.
Because this is the atmosphere.
As long as the atmosphere of the wax museum is in place, it doesn't matter whether the NPCs dress up as wax figures or not.
Under dim lighting conditions, a creepy-looking wax figure meets your eyes at close range, and then the wax figure suddenly blinks.
You thought you had seen it wrong, so you rubbed your eyes, and when you lowered your head, you noticed that the hands of the wax figure seemed to be moving.
You start to panic and try to move your legs, but you find that the legs of the wax figure you just looked at behind you seem to be moving.
You screamed, and your scream disturbed the wax figures in the wax museum. Several strange wax figures who were awakened by you ran towards you stiffly...
The more Jiang Qi thought about it, the more he thought it was good, that is, the staff who played the role of wax figure NPCs had better acting skills and better physical strength. Compared with the staff of the doll house, they were less able to fish, so it was a hard job.
"Is it okay?" Jiang Qi asked again.
"No problem, I promise to complete the mission!" F4444 said in a loud voice.
Seeing their colleagues expressing their opinions, F8008 and F3876 quickly followed suit, promising that their new works would definitely satisfy Jiang Qi.
That’s it for the wax museum.
Following the idea of the wax museum, Jiang Qi thinks that other venues that have not yet been decided can also play this way.
The oil painting museum uses androids as mechanisms, oil paintings of flames match flame mechanisms, and oil paintings of girls match NPCs of girls. In short, it’s all about excitement. The theme of the entire art museum is just two words——
sports!
As soon as you enter the art museum, both staff and tourists have to move.
If the number of WeChat steps taken by guests entering the art museum in a single day is less than 20,000, it is an oversight of the art museum.
The main focus of the art museum is green and healthy.
Based on this idea, the only shortcoming is probably that the haunted house in this art museum has relatively large restrictions. It is not suitable for those who are too young, nor for those who are too old, and those with heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases that cannot tolerate stimulation and strenuous exercise are not allowed.
The art museum does not have real ghosts of Lili's level to look after it. Every venue must have a professional doctor waiting to deal with it as soon as possible if any unexpected situation occurs.
At first, Jiang Qi was not worried about any unexpected situations in the amusement park caused by tourists not obeying the rules. After all, the entire amusement park was shrouded in the heart of toys, and the tourists' sense of morality was extremely high.
As long as a sign or warning sign is put up, tourists will not violate the regulations.
However, the strange flower Xu Pandi appeared.
A man of God who is not even afraid of ghosts, and who only realized the reality after two rounds of frying in a frying pan, cannot bear the heart of ten toys. For this reason, Jiang Qi feels that protective measures should be taken.
After appreciating the latest batch of works, Jiang Qi took F1101 to the five-person corner and began to discuss the core issues.
“I’ve seen the seventh version of the drawings and I’m very satisfied.”
F1101 showed a proud expression.
"but……"
His expression collapsed on the spot.
"I don't feel very safe."
Jiang Qi looked at F1101 with a serious face, trying to use his expression to make it clear that the safety of F1101 was an important factor.
What he wanted to open was a haunted house, not a cemetery.
He wants to be on a financial column, not a legal channel.
"Mr. Jiang Qi, the mechanisms on the design drawings I gave you are all very safe. These mechanisms are not original to me. They are all used in the haunted house where I worked before. And I kept your requirements in mind and chose all the mechanisms.
It's because the current technological level of your world has reached the level of agency." F1101 tried to explain.
"Considering the physical strength of humans in your world, I also deliberately lowered the difficulty of some mechanisms. For example, this poison gas device, the haunted house I worked in previously released the poison gas for 59 seconds before releasing the detoxification gas. This will help the guests truly
Experiencing the feeling of dying is a special experience that requires extra money."
"In the 7th edition drawing, I shortened the poison gas release time from 59 seconds to 3 seconds. It will only cause slight discomfort, such as numbness of hands and feet, dizziness, vomiting and other symptoms. With the antidote, it only takes 12 seconds.
It takes just a few hours to get complete relief, very friendly.”
Jiang Qi: "..."
Thank you, I feel like I am one step closer to being shot.
"No." Jiang Qi flatly refused, "Nothing like this is acceptable."
"Whether it's truly poisonous gas, a 1,200°C flame, or a 4-meter-long machete that blows hair off and cuts off hair, none of it will work."
"The gas cannot be poisonous, the flame cannot have temperature, and the machete cannot really cut people. In short, everything can only have a look but no actual effect. I only want the look. If it doesn't work, you can use technology that is beyond my time~ Use
I can accept it using holographic projection, but it’s just not really useful!”
Jiang Qi set iron rules for the organization of the art museum.
F1101 looked confused, with disappointment in the confusion: "But this is not exciting and unreal..."
"Isn't playing in a haunted house the pursuit of reality and excitement? If we make some fake and shoddy products, aren't we deceiving consumers?"
Jiang Qi:……
You are deceiving consumers by making poisonous gas that can really kill people!
Jiang Qi said earnestly: "F1101, times have changed."
"The people there want to be stimulated rather than die, but the people here want to be stimulated rather than being stimulated."
"We cherish our lives."
F1101 nodded sadly.
Jiang Qi knew that this was a completely different concept of the two worlds. Just like when these androids made those works of art, they really felt that they were making works of art. They could not change it in a hundred days.
"Okay, let's change the design plan."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang Qi."
It was decided that the new haunted house in the amusement park would be built with an art museum theme. Now that the plan has been finalized, the relevant work must be followed up.
The top priority is recruiting people.
The NPCs who play ghosts in the haunted house of the art museum are different from the NPCs who play ghosts in the dollhouse. The dollhouse is maintained by Lili, and the NPCs in the haunted house have minor flaws. It does not matter, and the requirements for acting skills are not high.
To be continued...
