The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 275

After the first episode of "Black Mirror" was broadcast, it created an explosive topic and spread speed through the novelty element of the male protagonist X Pig, and combined with the quality of its own drama, it gained a wide range and even exceeded what the TV series itself should match. Influence.

In the first story of "Black Mirror", you can't tell what he satirized, but you feel that he satirized everything.

This has also triggered divergent interpretations by netizens. An episode of TV series seems to be a social event, creating a social topic that netizens widely participate in.

Such a wide range of participation and enthusiasm has made the audience's expectations and attention to the second episode of "Black Mirror" reach an unprecedented level.

Even on the three online video platforms, you need to pay to watch it.

Many people are waiting in front of their mobile phones and computers to see what tricks DreamWorks can play in the second episode.

Including the marketing account and the media are also paying attention to the launch of the second episode. Time is money these days.

In case the second episode also produces a gimmick like X pig, or similar gimmicks, you can also write an article and send it out as soon as possible.

Therefore, in addition to the soaring amount of on-demand subscriptions for "Black Mirror" on Station C, Huanshi.com and Penguin Video are also counting the money with a smile behind them.

A TV series that sparked discussions on social topics, and the second episode is still very much anticipated, can bring about an amazing conversion effect on members.

The only thought of the executives of the two video sites is that Dreamworks must try their best to persuade Chen Jingxing to get the exclusive right to broadcast the next drama "Suspect Tracker" which is already in production.

If there is no other online platform, the conversion of members brought about by exclusive broadcasting rights may be beyond imagination. Not only is the diversion of the biggest competitor making people feel sorry, but the diversion effect of Station C has already made the two big platforms feel distressed.

In addition to the high attraction and stickiness of station C to young netizens, because there is currently no paid membership system, the package and on-demand payment of the complete episodes of "Black Mirror" only costs 6 yuan, which is lower than the monthly fee of at least 15 yuan for Fantasy World and Penguin. The membership fee makes many netizens who don't want to pay for other content of the two major video platforms, but only want to watch "Black Mirror" tend to choose Station C.

Because of such a high degree of attention, the second episode also created a very astonishing broadcast data, and at the same time triggered an equally astonishing popularity of comments.

This is not surprising, since you have whetted the appetite of so many people, and everyone is looking forward to your second episode, so whether they are disappointed or feel that it is not satisfactory, the audience who watched the second episode will be happy to give feedback on their viewing online experience and evaluation.

After the second episode was launched, there were indeed many voices of disappointment.

Because after the first episode became popular, many viewers followed this show just for novelty. With such a big gimmick as "male protagonist X pig" in the first episode, the second episode is not exciting enough. .

Moreover, the second episode is about a parent-child story, and the theme of educating children is not too attractive from the background of this story.

It is incomparable to the plot of the first episode where the little girl mysteriously disappears, the top star is again, and the kidnapper is blackmailing. sarcasm and criticism.

In the second episode, the perspective is only limited between mother and daughter, between family and school, so the pattern is not that big.

However, after the initial criticism and disappointment, many people still jumped out to refute such remarks, and even thought that the critics were too superficial.

[Case solved!Case solved!It turns out that the cracked mirror at the beginning of Black Mirror is the crack on the controller screen in the second episode! 】

[The heaviness of this episode is definitely not weaker than the first episode, even if you put aside the novel sci-fi setting (although the idea of ​​implanting a chip into the brain has long existed, the setting of the chip is quite innovative, especially the mosaic The "shielding mechanism", very creative), sci-fi creativity is the strength of DreamWorks, so let's not discuss this point.

This episode is so precise and very ruthless that it hits the anxiety of raising and educating children of contemporary people. I believe that the viewers who are parents will sweat coldly after watching it.

Think about the reality, how many families and even classrooms now have cameras, and the electronic products that position children are changing with each passing day... Where is this "Black Mirror", this is clearly reality!

There are cameras in the classrooms of the private kindergarten my child attends. The teacher will tell the parents the password, and the parents can check the monitoring at any time by logging in to the special app. The shocking thing is that neither I nor other parents think there is any problem!

At first glance, DreamWorks' sci-fi ideas may seem imaginative and amazing, but in fact they are all refined and sublimated from the details of life, and the devil is hidden in the details!

Therefore, if Angel's "sterile parenting" program can be realized technically, it will definitely be popular in our country.If someone suddenly tells parents that there is such a technology that can help them take better care of and protect their children, even if some people are aware of its hidden dangers, I believe many people will still find it difficult to resist it.

There is no need to have confidence in human nature. Most parents do not monitor their children in all directions. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't.

At all times and in all over the world, there are very few parents who can really treat their children as independent individuals. After all, children who are "young and never do anything" do not have independent personality. Parents have full responsibility and obligation as guardians... and children may unconsciously In the process, she was forced to implant a nightmare that would accompany her for the rest of her life]

Of course, there are also voices who think that the "criticism" and "irony" in this episode are a bit too blunt and not objective.

[Imagine another ending, if in the middle, the daughter had an accident, had sex with her boyfriend many times without protection measures, and the abortion after pregnancy hurt her body, even ruined her studies and future life, and the mother always Stick to the "Privacy Promise" and don't re-enable the controller.

How would you criticize this mother?

Whether it's the screenwriter's tendency in the play or some people's comments, it seems that the original sin of "surveillance" has been assigned to the mother from the very beginning. It seems that what happens to a child before the age of nine can determine all her future behaviors. Nine to 16 are seven years that don't exist.

In fact, to put it bluntly, I completely put myself into this daughter, thinking that all my current failures are due to the education problems of my parents, and I shirk my responsibility to be a loser

For the daughter in the play.

She does not use contraception for underage sex because her mother has monitored and blocked her.

She hit her mother's head because her mother had monitored and blocked her.

Just like you think that all the difficulties you are encountering now are due to the lack of education of your parents.

In the end, the daughter smashed her mother's head with a controller. At this time, there are still people who applaud her, thinking that she has gained freedom. I hope you will be smashed in the head by the child in the name of freedom one day! 】

In addition to this kind of comments and debates around education, some netizens who are good at divergent thinking have replaced the parent-child relationship in the play with the macro relationship between the country and the people, which has attracted more intense debate.

But no matter what, there may be more voices of disappointment and criticism for the second episode than the first episode, but the topics and enthusiasm it aroused have not decreased much.

Even compared to the slightly abstract expression in the first episode, the parent-child relationship and education topics triggered by the second episode are more down-to-earth, or more resonant. After all, educational anxiety is an eternal theme in Huaguo.

Therefore, the discussion triggered by the second episode on the Internet is more intense, and the participation of netizens is also more extensive, but it is much less topical than the first episode.

Moreover, the score of "Black Mirror" on the public rating website has not dropped any due to the start of the second episode.

Three days after the first episode aired, Douban scored 9.6, the same as the "Signal" TV series, which dropped from 9.7 to 9.6 more than half a year after its premiere.

After the second episode was aired, the number of people who rated it skyrocketed again, but the score did not change, still maintaining a score of 9.6.

In addition to some social topics discussed in this episode, "Black Mirror" itself has also been complained by many netizens as a "depressive drama".

Many people who have watched the first two episodes of "Black Mirror" think that this drama will make people feel depressed or even depressed. In fact, judging from the content, there are no tear-jerking plots in the two episodes, and there are even some horror content, but It does create some negativity.

In addition, the themes and types of the first two episodes of "Black Mirror" also made many fans and even film critics feel refreshed.

"Black Mirror" was promoted as a sci-fi drama before its broadcast, and the genre marked on the video platform was also sci-fi and plot.

In the first episode, there are no sci-fi elements under the popular concept, and in the second episode, there is no depiction and display of the future society, but the core of the second episode is formed by the three elements of chips, controllers and shielding mosaics. Science fiction setting.

After the first episode was aired, more voices of public opinion focused on the novel plot and the social phenomenon it satirized metaphorically. Therefore, only after the second episode did film critics and fans really start to discuss the "Black Mirror" Science fiction concept.

Many people agree that "Black Mirror" has created a sci-fi theme that is completely different from people's impressions in the past. It shows a technological utopia.

It is even a utopian mapping based on the existing technology of modern civilization.

["Black Mirror" is not a dystopia, but a real mirror that reflects a technological utopia.

Even though there are only two episodes out so far, each episode made me think, made me go back and watch it again, and made me ask myself why I hadn't thought of this before.

It's not about science, but how modern technology affects humans and deconstructs our morals and ethics.

From this point of view, "Black Mirror" has surpassed 90.00% of the film and television dramas in terms of conception alone. Although there are still three episodes that have not been broadcast, I am willing to take the risk of being slapped in the face and praise this drama. Definitely one of the best sci-fi works of all time, covering the whole of modern human life in a creative and fresh perspective that I've never seen before.

The technical themes in each of the first two episodes are very thought-provoking, and those little details in the plot make it feel like the story in this episode could happen to us at any time, now or in the future.

The ambitions of DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing once again exceeded our expectations. This amazing company not only kicked the door of China's science fiction film and television industry, but also refreshed our understanding of science fiction time and time again.

What I admire the most about Director Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks is that since last year's "Battleship", they are not shy and even willing to use film and television dramas to discuss serious propositions, about individuals, about morality, and even about civilization... 】

This is an evaluation from a professional film critic. This person usually only reviews movies and rarely reviews TV dramas. The last time he made an exception was the animated series "Space Battleship", and this time it is even rarer in " After only two episodes of "Black Mirror" aired, a film review was published without hesitation.

In this way, amidst the discussions, "Black Mirror", which was not broadcast on TV, became the first online drama that can be called a phenomenon-level TV series after only two episodes.
