[Mike]: Welcome back to Learn English with Podcasts! Sarah, quick question - how long can most AI video models film in one single go?
zh:欢迎回到 Learn English with Podcasts！Sarah，问个问题——大多数 AI 视频模型一次最多能生成多长的视频？
[Sarah]: A few seconds, usually five or ten. Long enough for a looping clip, not long enough for a story.
zh:一般就几秒钟，五秒或十秒。够做一段循环动画，但不够讲一个故事。
[Mike]: Right, and that changed today. Alibaba's video model Wan3.0 is now officially live, and it can generate 30 seconds in one take.
zh:没错，今天这事儿变了。阿里巴巴的视频模型 Wan3.0 正式上线了，单次就能生成 30 秒的视频。
[Sarah]: 30 seconds in one take? That's basically a full scene with a beginning and an end.
zh:一次生成 30 秒？那基本就是一个有开头有结尾的完整场景了。
[Mike]: Exactly. It was in public testing since August 6, and today is the official launch day. And there's a second surprise - you can feed it documents.
zh:对。它从 8 月 6 日就开始公测了，今天是正式上线。还有第二个惊喜——你可以喂文档给它。
[Sarah]: Documents? Like Word files and spreadsheets?
zh:文档？就像 Word 文件和表格那种？
[Mike]: Yes - doc, xls, ppt, pdf, even markdown files. Upload them, and the model builds a video from the content.
zh:对——doc、xls、ppt、pdf，甚至 markdown 文件都行。上传之后，模型会根据内容做出一段视频。
[Sarah]: Wait, so I could upload my meeting notes and get a video version? That's a strange new superpower.
zh:等等，那我上传会议记录就能得到一个视频版？这是个奇怪的新超能力。
[Mike]: Welcome to 2026. But the word people keep repeating about this model is "real". Real faces, real light, real physics.
zh:欢迎来到 2026。不过大家提到这个模型时反复说的一个词是"真实"。真实的脸、真实的光、真实的物理效果。
[Sarah]: Okay, prove it. What did people actually make with it?
zh:好，证明给我看。人们用它到底做出了什么？
[Mike]: One creator made a short film called The Bar That Sells Memories - a bar where customers buy memories. Great premise already.
zh:有一位创作者拍了一部短片，叫《出售回忆的酒吧》——一家顾客可以购买回忆的酒吧。这个设定本身就很棒。
[Sarah]: Oh, I want to watch that already. What about the quality?
zh:哦，我已经想看了。画质怎么样？
[Mike]: The hero's face stays the same from a wide shot to a very close close-up. That's the hardest part for AI, because faces usually drift.
zh:主角的脸从中景推到大特写都保持一致。这是 AI 最难的部分，因为脸通常会变来变去。
[Sarah]: I've seen that drift. By shot five, your character looks like a cousin of shot one.
zh:我见过那种漂移。到第五个镜头，角色看起来像第一个镜头的表亲。
[Mike]: Ha, exactly. And the bar itself kept one color mood - warm amber lights, wooden furniture, and glass bottles reflecting the whole room.
zh:哈，就是。而且酒吧本身保持了统一的色彩氛围——温暖的琥珀色灯光、木质家具，玻璃瓶还反射着整个店内的景象。
[Sarah]: Glass reflecting the room? Even professional crews struggle with that.
zh:玻璃反射店内景象？连专业摄制组都觉得难。
[Mike]: Now the business side. An AI review team called Flova kept saying one word: stable. Not just pretty frames - stable output you can plan real work around.
zh:再说说商业这边。一个叫 Flova 的 AI 评测团队反复说一个词：稳定。不只是画面好看，而是稳定到你敢围绕它安排真正的生产。
[Sarah]: For companies, boring words like stable are actually exciting words.
zh:对公司来说，"稳定"这种无聊的词其实才让人兴奋。
[Mike]: In their test clip, one single shot had eye reflections, moving hair, flowing white fabric, and shiny water - four things AI usually breaks.
zh:在他们的测试片段里，一个镜头同时出现了眼球反射、飘动的头发、白纱的运动和水面光泽——这四样通常是 AI 容易翻车的。
[Sarah]: Four hard things in one shot? And the skin didn't look plastic?
zh:一个镜头四个难点？皮肤也没有塑料感？
[Mike]: No plastic at all. It even held a cold grey-blue color tone all the way through.
zh:完全没有塑料感。它甚至还全程守住了冷灰蓝的色调。
[Sarah]: Did anyone outside China test it?
zh:有海外的团队测试吗？
[Mike]: Yes. Koyal.ai tested six animation categories, and Wan3.0 ranked number one overall.
zh:有。Koyal.ai 测评了六个动画类别，Wan3.0 总分排名第一。
[Sarah]: Number one across six categories - that's not luck anymore.
zh:六个类别综合第一——这就不是靠运气了。
[Mike]: They loved its high-energy motion, like fast action scenes, and its realistic style scored high too.
zh:他们特别喜欢它的高动态表现，比如快节奏的动作场面，写实风格的得分也很高。
[Sarah]: So who is actually using this every day? Give me the industries.
zh:那现在谁在天天用它？跟我说说有哪些行业。
[Mike]: Short drama studios first. One tech team said close-ups of actors' faces come out clean and steady, so they can produce shows at scale.
zh:首先是短剧团队。一家技术公司说，演员面部的近景特写出来又干净又稳，所以他们可以规模化生产短剧。
[Sarah]: At scale meaning many episodes, on schedule.
zh:"规模化"就是说很多集、按进度出片。
[Mike]: Right. A platform called LibTV made a car chase - cars, drivers, and city streets stayed consistent for the whole 30 seconds.
zh:对。一个叫 LibTV 的平台做了一场追车戏——车辆、司机和城市街道在整个 30 秒里都保持一致。
[Sarah]: Without restarting fifty times to roll a lucky clip?
zh:不用重开五十次去抽一段运气好的片段？
[Mike]: Almost no rerolling. Before, AI video felt like a slot machine - you pulled the lever again and again and hoped.
zh:几乎不用重抽。以前 AI 视频像老虎机——你得一遍一遍拉杆，然后祈祷。
[Sarah]: And now the lever finally pays out every time. What about advertising?
zh:现在这台老虎机终于每次都出货了。广告行业呢？
[Mike]: An ad company in Guangzhou said products and logos stay accurate, and talking presenters look natural - close to a real commercial shoot.
zh:广州一家广告公司说，商品和 Logo 能保持准确，口播的人也很自然——接近真实广告拍摄的水平。
[Sarah]: Logos are a big deal. Brands get angry when their logo grows an extra corner.
zh:Logo 这点很关键。品牌方看到自家 Logo 多出一个角是会生气的。
[Mike]: Tourism too. Creators rebuilt famous places with cinematic camera moves - an ancient city at sunset, red palace walls, cherry blossoms in Kyoto.
zh:文旅也在用。创作者用电影级的运镜重现著名景点——晚霞中的古城、红色的宫墙、京都的樱花。
[Sarah]: So someone who may never visit Kyoto can still feel it first.
zh:这样可能永远没机会去京都的人，也能先感受一下。
[Mike]: And musicians. One music company uploaded a single photo of a singer, marked lip-sync singing, and got several camera angles automatically.
zh:还有音乐人。一家音乐公司上传了一张歌手的照片，标注对口型唱歌，就自动得到了好几个机位镜头。
[Sarah]: From one photo to a finished music video? That used to need a whole film crew.
zh:从一张照片到一个成品 MV？这以前需要一整个摄制组。
[Mike]: During those ten-plus days of public testing, it also improved daily - better instruction following, steadier cross-shot consistency, cleaner audio.
zh:公测的十多天里，它还在每天进化——指令遵循更好，跨镜头一致性更稳，音频也更干净。
[Sarah]: Okay, the important question - how much does it cost?
zh:好，关键问题来了——多少钱？
[Mike]: Through the API, 480P costs 0.3 yuan per second, 720P is 0.6 yuan, and 1080P is 1.2 yuan.
zh:API 价格是 480P 每秒 0.3 元，720P 是 0.6 元，1080P 是 1.2 元。
[Sarah]: Any launch discount?
zh:上线有优惠吗？
[Mike]: Until September 23, two platforms offer a 30% discount. So yes, cheap enough to experiment with.
zh:9 月 23 日之前，两个平台有 7 折优惠。所以说，拿来试错足够便宜。
[Mike]: And it's easy to find. It's live on Alibaba Cloud's Bailian platform, the Wan website, and several apps including Qwen.
zh:而且很好找。阿里云百炼平台、万相官网，还有千问等多个 App 都能用上它。
[Sarah]: You know what just hit me? All those industries - drama, ads, tourism, music - they all sell stories. And this tool makes stories cheaper.
zh:你知道吗，我突然想到一件事。刚才说的那些行业——短剧、广告、文旅、音乐——卖的都是故事。而这个工具让故事变便宜了。
[Mike]: Which means the bottleneck moves. It's no longer "can you afford to shoot it?" It's "do you have a story worth shooting?"
zh:所以瓶颈就转移了。问题不再是"你拍不拍得起"，而是"你的故事值不值得拍"。
[Sarah]: Ooh, save that line for the show notes. Meanwhile, I'm going to upload my expense spreadsheet and ask for an emotional music video about taxes.
zh:哇，这句要写进节目简介。而我嘛，打算把我的报销表格传上去，让它做一支关于报税的抒情 MV。
[Mike]: Please send it over when the violin comes in. Try Wan3.0, and tell us - what would you feed it: a photo, a document, or your wildest idea?
zh:等小提琴响起来的时候一定要发给我们。试试 Wan3.0 吧，然后告诉我们——你会喂给它什么：一张照片、一份文档，还是你最疯狂的想法？
[Sarah]: We'd love to hear it. See you next time on Learn English with Podcasts!
zh:我们很期待听到你的分享。下期 Learn English with Podcasts 再见！
[Mike]: See you next time!
zh:下期见！
