The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 271 Interpretation Carnival
The role of the novelty-hunting gimmick in the first episode of "Black Mirror" is to enable the show to spread quickly after its premiere, creating heat, and thus attracting traffic for the TV series.

However, if it is just a wonderful setting or a strange plot that can arouse people's interest, it will not be able to achieve word-of-mouth communication, it will not have continuous vitality, and it will not be able to allow the audience to continue to Amway and publicize.

At most, it would be "President! My wife is bleeding! He spoiled and hugged his first love: notify the obstetrics and gynecology department, don't save her!" to the daughter in the kiln".

After the audience satisfies their curiosity-seeking psychology, all that is left is to complain, criticize or even scold.

Of course, "Black Mirror" also has a lot of complaints, but they basically focus on the wonderful plot setting of "the hero X pig".

But the real charm of "Black Mirror" is the absurd story extended under this wonderful setting, or the black humorous drama that is relatively rare in China.

On a large quiz website, several questions related to "Black Mirror" appeared in succession.And they're all on the hit list.

In addition to "How to evaluate the first episode of the DreamWorks web series "Black Mirror"?", there are also "Why did the kidnapper ask for the male protagonist to be a pig?", "Why did the male protagonist of "Black Mirror" commit suicide in the end?" , "What will happen after the media interviews the little girl and her parents at the end?", "Is there any other solution to this kind of thing in the real society?" and other questions have sparked a lot of discussion.

Except for a few who were witty, most of the answers were serious. In addition to the various praises of "Black Mirror", they also analyzed and deduced the show from various perspectives such as psychology, sociology, law, and media. Netizens collectively re-created and extended the story of the first episode.

Some answers made even Chen Jingxing feel a little nauseous and disgusting while being happy after reading it.

[Chen Jingxing is listed as the screenwriter of the drama versions of "Signal" and "Black Mirror". To be honest, I think Chen Jingxing has some psychological problems. His movies seem to be positive and optimistic.

For example, the movie versions of "Signal" and "Source Code", the family and love are very touching, and the protagonists all have a fearless spirit of sacrifice. The murderer did not hesitate to put himself in danger, and even the non-policeman was willing to follow and protect the victim in order to save his life.

Now I deeply suspect that this is the script (dog head) that the film bureau pointed a gun at him and forced him to write.

"I Kill Myself" by the heroine of "Comet", and "No Survival" in "Fatal Identity" and the personality of the evil little boy are the essence of Chen Jingxing's style, and later he pretended to be positive for the market and box office. .

So when it came to TV dramas, especially online dramas, Chen Jingxing completely let himself go.

The drama version of "Signal" is just purely depressing and abusing the main character. Each of the three protagonists of Nima died once, and they were repeatedly abused. Everyone is incomplete, everyone has shortcomings, and which one is better than the other? The perverted case, I thought it was Chen Jingxing's limit.

I never expected that it was a star drama, so he has restrained himself as much as possible. "Black Mirror" is the big meal. I have a stomachache after watching it. It is not only depressing but also heavy.

It's not that the picture is heavy, but the whole plot makes people feel nauseous and disgusting, which is a mental shock to me.

But after I read it, I was speechless for a few minutes, and the conscientious media editor at the end knocked on the table twice, and it felt like it hit my heart directly.

Some people say that this is a satire on society and black humor, but I think it is Chen Jingxing's malice towards the world and me!
It was as if he had heard my heart and saw some expectations I had sent for his next works to explore more connotations, so he looked at me with contempt and disdain, wanting to see something with depth, right?Want to see realism, right?Want to criticize society?

Then a plate of things was brought up, well, this is human society, doesn’t it look good?
Then I cried and said it wasn't good, it was disgusting, but I wanted more...

Why did I, a decent movie fan, feel like I was shaking?Being a fan of Chen Jingxing has this advantage, there will never be a lack of surprises... or horror, Chen Jingxing is like a magician, you don't know what he will conjure from the hat next time, it may be a kitten, or it may be It's a tiger.

Finally, I want to take back my previous "slander" on this show when "Black Mirror" was not online. Chen Jingxing may be short, no, "Black Mirror" may be short, but it definitely brings you a lot of spiritual impact and thinking . 】

In addition to this kind of disgusting praise from movie fans, there are also specific analyzes of the plot.

[There are a lot of comments and witty comments on the first episode, so I won’t repeat them. Let me talk about the more shocking scenes brought to me by the first episode.

I don’t think many people have mentioned this point. The most shocking and even the most horrifying scene to me is not the moment when the hero Lin Wei opened the door after taking the medicine and saw the three hundred catties old sow, although that moment will never end. It's engraved in my DNA.

It's the shot of the hero Lin Wei breaking the fourth wall before committing suicide!

After a busy day, the hero returned home, took off his coat, and suddenly turned to look at the camera. I swear my scalp was really numb.

At the beginning, I really felt like watching a ghost movie. I was so scared that I almost dropped my tablet. Really, I have seen many film and television dramas with elements that break the fourth wall. There are many (breaking the fourth wall means that the actors in the play directly face the audience, talk or interact with the audience), and "Black Mirror" is the most frightening and shocking.

Although the actor who plays Lin Wei is young, his acting skills are really good. His eyes make people feel as if he directly saw me in front of the Ipad through the camera.

He didn't speak, nor did he sneer or laugh miserably, he just looked at me directly, of course he was looking at the camera.

It seems to be asking: "Are you happy watching in front of the screen?

When the little girl in the extortion video told the conditions of the kidnapper, did you feel excited hidden in your astonishment?

When the police raided the suspect's address on the first day, did you secretly hope that the police would better not catch the kidnapper and the little girl?Because you can't control your curiosity and want to see me fuck a pig?

When I entered that empty room and faced the pig face to face, did you feel a little annoyed by the sudden "black light on the screen"?
When I reappeared in public after two months, did you stare at my face like the media reporters and the public on TV, not letting go of the details of the slightest expression, wanting to see me suddenly collapse or lose control? "

Then the male protagonist looked away, walked to the balcony without any hesitation, turned over and jumped down, his movements were clean and neat, without any delay or entanglement. I have never seen such a "sloppy" suicide by jumping off a building in movies and TV dramas.

I was so shocked that I got goosebumps all over my body. I looked back several times and found that the scene where the male protagonist stared at the camera was only for three seconds, but when I watched it for the first time, it felt like a minute or two had passed.

Last year, I voted for the famous scene of the TV drama of the year selected by X Online for the crying scene of Deng Chao in the movie theater in "Signal".

This year, I won't vote for the three-second eye scene where the male protagonist breaks the fourth wall in the first episode of "Black Mirror" without any hesitation or hesitation, and the subsequent scene of jumping off a building.

Chen Jingxing is really awesome, he is not just satirizing the people in the play, through the three-second eye contact with the audience, he also sweeps the audience in front of the screen, cursing together in and out of the play.

But you still think that his... scolding is justified, and I hope he scolds you a few more times. 】

【...Through the investigation of the police in the play, we learned that the kidnapper is a performance artist suffering from mental illness. This setting seems absurd, but it is actually the finishing touch.

I see that some answers and drama reviews say that setting the culprit as a lunatic feels a bit mechanical, so that there is no need to explain the logic of the lunatic's behavior, which is the failure of the first episode.

But in my opinion, this is a pretty brilliant setup.

Because we live in a normal society, you can't perceive the hidden pathology of this society. Only by using a lunatic to tear off the veil covering the modern society can you see the madness of the modern society.

The reason why this episode can bring people a very strong sense of black humor or absurdity is not because he constructed an absurd element in the normal social background, thus making the whole society absurd and horrifying stand up.

This mentally ill kidnapper is actually the director's perspective, or the screenwriter's perspective, or even the screenwriter's incarnation. Doesn't this break another fourth wall?
This is the preciousness of "Black Mirror". His novelty-hunting plot has a strong eye-catching ability, but he does not try to bring you the same hearty viewing experience as "Signal", but makes you restless all the time. Falling into uninterrupted shock and thinking under the emotion]

It has to be said that the second creation of the audience and netizens is the biggest contributor to "Black Mirror" being able to spark discussion and create heat.

Chen Jingxing browsed the comments and various interpretations on the Internet, and felt that the thinking of netizens had diverged beyond his imagination, as if everyone could see what they wanted from this drama.

Of course, this also means that "Black Mirror" has a strong vitality, and it can trigger a lot of divergent thinking and secondary creation of netizens. It may not necessarily become a classic, but it will definitely achieve great success in terms of commercial value.

Except for the first episode of "Black Mirror", which is free, the next four episodes are all paid to watch, no matter which platform you watch it on.

After the first episode was aired, it ignited public opinion and attention, and the pay-on-demand data for the next four episodes will definitely increase tremendously.

He is almost certain that the show "Black Mirror" should bring DreamWorks benefits beyond imagination.
