陆川 / Lu Chuan

陆川 / Lu Chuan is the film director interviewed in E234｜未来实拍电影还存在吗？与导演陆川聊聊AI给影视人的恐惧与自由. He uses practical film and visual-effects experience to explain where Video Models and AI Video Production Workflow already matter: fast keyframes, character and scene concepts, previs, and communication before a production spends months of labor.

His argument is not anti-AI. The source presents him as eager to use AI, but he keeps separating tool efficiency from artistic judgment. AI can make a shot cheap enough to test, yet a film still has to meet film-history, audience, and commercial-delivery standards rather than getting a quality discount because it was generated.

The source also makes Lu Chuan the main voice for Live-Action Film Under AI. He argues that AI will force creators and investors to justify live-action shooting, leaving the strongest case for real crews, natural light, and unrepeatable human performance moments such as the line-discovery example he gives from 《南京！南京！》 / Nanjing! Nanjing!.

Key Points

  • He treats AI as a tool comparable to a pen, camera, or editing table.
  • He sees AI as especially useful for compressed previsualization and visual-effects ideation.
  • He warns that mass-aesthetic model alignment can create homogeneous characters and weaken authorial style.
  • He argues for Industrial-Grade Film Models because feature film and long-form drama require more stable quality than casual social video.
  • He believes live action survives when it captures human moments AI cannot easily generate or justify replacing.
