'Closing the deal' to replace Thuy Tien with AI, what did the Director of the Department of Cinema say?

As Thanh Nien reported, the producer of Chot Don recently held a media meeting to share about the film's official return after a long delay. The production unit used AI (artificial intelligence) to edit the female lead role of Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien, after the beauty queen was involved in a private scandal. Meanwhile, the voiceover was replaced by the crew with the voiceover of another actress.

When this information was announced, many controversies broke out on social networks. Some audiences sympathized and thought that these were the producers' efforts to "save" the film from being "frozen" because of the actors' noise. However, when some images of the work were revealed, many audiences were dissatisfied, saying that the use of AI to replace Miss Grand International 2021 in Chot Do created a feeling of lack of smoothness, naturalness and affected the emotions of the viewers.

Regarding the case of the movie Chot Do 'erasing' Thuy Tien using AI, Mr. Dang Tran Cuong - Director of the Department of Cinema said that the use of artificial intelligence is a form of applying science and technology to film production, part of a series of technological advances that have been applied by the film industry for a long time.

“Therefore, we do not consider the use of AI as a factor that changes the nature of the filmmaking or licensing process, but as a natural progression in the application of science and technology to the creation of cinematic art. All works, whether using real actors, traditional techniques or AI technology, are considered, assessed and licensed according to the same transparent and consistent legal process, ensuring compliance with the law,” said the leader of the Department of Cinema.

According to director Nam Cito, the fact that the Chot Don crew replaced Thuy Tien with AI technology was a case of "necessity is the mother of invention". Before that, he was confused when he received information related to the actor in the film.

According to Mr. Dang Tran Cuong, the use of actors created with AI technology does not set a "precedent" in the legal or management sense, but opens up a new and encouraging opportunity for the development of the Vietnamese film industry in the context of global technology integration.

“For example, for difficult scenes, stuntmen or special filming techniques were previously needed, but now, AI technology allows directors to proactively design images and create frames that go beyond physical limits, contributing to enhancing the artistic value and technical quality of the work,” said Mr. Dang Tran Cuong.

The Director of the Department of Cinema further affirmed that AI is not something too new in the world cinema industry, but is an inevitable trend. “From a management perspective, we support and encourage film production units to apply technology in a controlled and legal manner, ensuring artistic quality while meeting requirements on image rights, personal rights and related regulations,” the leader of the Department of Cinema further shared.
