The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 284 "Gravity" Lands in North America

"The fifth episode of 'Black Mirror' marks a perfect end to this mini-series."

"Chen Jingxing announced on Weibo that there will be a second season of "Black Mirror""

"Raising instead of falling, the Douban score of "Black Mirror" rose to 9.6 after the final episode aired"

""Black Mirror" has reached 10 billion views on the entire network! The average single episode has exceeded 2 million! The number of views of a single episode has surpassed that of "Signal", becoming the TV series with the highest number of views in a single episode in 16!"

"Why can DreamWorks produce phenomenal dramas one after another?"

"Chen Jingxing gave a telephone interview and revealed these key information about the sequel of "Black Mirror""

"DreamWorks' new drama "Suspect Tracker" has been snapped up, and Penguin Video wants to buy the exclusive copyright? DreamWorks has not responded."

"The pre-sale of "Signal: Mirage" has exceeded [-] million! The "Black Mirror" effect has helped this movie overtake "Master Xuanzang"!"

"The finale of "Black Mirror" is on the air, DreamWorks has contacted the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the listing plan has been confirmed?"

"The last episode of "Black Mirror" was broadcast simultaneously on the external network, and overseas netizens are full of praise!"

The first episode of "Black Mirror" caused a viral spread of the topic after it was broadcast because of the novelty-hunting elements and most people had never watched this type of science fiction drama, detonating all social networks.

Only one episode was dubbed a "divine drama".

The second to fourth episodes are basically not as exciting as the first episode. Of course, radish and green vegetables have their own favorites. There are still many people who like or even love a certain story in these three episodes.

After all, each episode has strong black humor and full of sci-fi creativity, and each story can trigger deep thinking.

However, with the rapid increase in the number of viewers and the balance of public tastes, the ratings of this drama are slowly declining.

And the last episode was a shot in the arm, and was even dubbed a "sci-fi feast" by many of Chen Jingxing's fans. The main reason is that there are indeed more sci-fi elements involved in this episode.

The first four episodes are generally one sci-fi idea for each episode, but in the last episode, not only is it more than 60 minutes long, which is the longest among the five episodes, but the sci-fi idea is also like a spring, and the audience can't react.

The fully upgraded version with the creativity of the second episode - Smart Eye, not only can share the screen to guide and pick up girls in real time, the blocking function is like the Internet coming to reality, it can actively block others, directly anonymous or blacklist specific people.

Another thing that amazes the audience is the copy of consciousness. This setting involves the "brain in a vat" and how to define a person.

The unprecedentedly rich sci-fi settings and the dense amount of information have led many fans to bluntly say that the last episode is the pinnacle of the show, completely surpassing all previous episodes, including the first episode.

[As a fan of "Black Mirror" after watching the first episode, I have to say that Chen Jingxing's psychological and philosophical skills are really profound.I'm so excited right now after watching the last episode, it's definitely the pinnacle of the season!It surpasses the first episode that many people talked about.

This episode is so ingeniously arranged, like One Thousand and One Nights, one story is nested within another, and there are reversals in each story.

The story of the first love expert guiding an otaku to pick up girls, when the camera suddenly turns to the screen in the live broadcast room, and when the girl suddenly feeds poisoned wine after the passion, it really makes people tremble without warning.

In the second story of extracting a copy of consciousness, at first I thought that the consciousness of a woman was extracted and trapped in an egg, but it turned out to be a copy of consciousness, which will be enslaved by the subject of consciousness later.

The third story is even more extreme, divided into two parts, from bumping into a person to finding out that she killed her own daughter with her own hands.

And the ending is even more reversed and reversed, one layer after another, making people always in an "unexpected" state. Of course, what is "reasonable" is that the ending must be "dark and deep".

This episode, as always, created a dystopian cruel world. Chen Jingxing never took such shiny words as sunny, ideal and beautiful as the main theme in this drama. The first second was a bright and bright life, and the next Seconds will always fall heavily to the bottom.

His "cruel" in the ending reversal is so quiet that it seems to me too harsh, but this is "Black Mirror".

None of us can stop the wheels of technological progress from rumbling forward, but neither can we ignore the dark side brought about by technological progress.These dark points come together in "Black Mirror", so that we can't outline Utopia, and YY can't get out of Gensokyo.

I am really looking forward to the second season. Now I regret watching the phone interview with Chen Jingxing. This interview really has nothing to do with it. Except for the fact that the second season will be filmed, there is no need to disclose the news. The only valid information is the second season. At least until next year...

ps: I hope to see the second season of "Black Mirror" on Station C next year. I heard that "Suspect Tracker" has been fired to a sky-high price by an unscrupulous video site]

……

"Touchdown! wow! FXXk Belichick!..."

George watched speechlessly as his elder brother Daniel jumped up and down on the sofa, clenched his fists and roared like he was in no man's land.

"Hey! Dan!" Mom walked out of the kitchen and poked her head out, looking at her eldest son sternly.

Daniel sat back on the sofa resentfully, and muttered: "I must go to Lincoln Stadium to watch it live next time. Watching it at home has no atmosphere at all."

"If you can afford a ticket..." George shrugged, mocking his brother.

Daniel resented: "That's because my mother confiscated the money I sold... that or something, otherwise there is nothing I can't afford?"

"Then you can only buy one or two games, you still can't afford the season ticket, you still have to watch it at home..."

"..."

The Philadelphia Eagles' home tickets cost at least $130, and Daniel's parents were not interested in football, or even all sports, and would not buy any family season tickets to watch football.

At the same time, the children's pocket money is also strictly controlled. The last time Daniel went to watch the game, he took his classmates' car to and from school, and bought the tickets with the saved gas.

Daniel fixed his eyes on the TV and countered: "Are you a fan of PHI? You don't love the team at all. I think you are more excited watching movies than watching football games!"

George put on a gesture that is not common to him: "I have my own way of love, I am not a savage, and I do like watching movies, and some movies are indeed more interesting than football games."

"Nerd!" Daniel raised his middle finger next to his cheek.

"fXXk! Another ad! Can't the $130 fare fill their pockets?!"

Daniel leaned back on the sofa, complaining to the sky.

George rolled his eyes: "What's going on without commercials at halftime? Is the guard of honor performing? It's not a college game."

"GRAVITY...Directed by JOHNSON CHEN!"

A deep, mellow baritone voice came from the TV, which caught George's attention.

"Johnson Chen?" George was familiar with the name, and quickly picked up the remote control to increase the volume.

"There is no medium for sound transmission... There is no atmospheric pressure... There is no oxygen..." The low-pitched narration continued.

Compared with the trailers in China, this commercial on TV has dubbing instead of only subtitles.

Daniel was also attracted: "What? A documentary?"

When the earth occupying more than half of the screen and the aircraft with its solar wings appeared on the screen, George exclaimed: "I remember, "Gravity", Chen's next movie! Space science fiction, this is Trailer."

George is a fan of Chen Jingxing's movie. The first time he watched Chen Jingxing's movie was "Fatal Identity" at the cinema with his brother. Although Daniel felt that this movie was a mystery, it was very suitable for his taste. He even thought it was the movie he watched. Coolest suspense movie ever.

He was also the first to watch "Signal" and "Source Code" after Chen Jingxing, and then he became a loyal fan of Chen Jingxing, and at the same time fell into the trap of science fiction movies. Of course, the "science fiction movies" here do not include Manga movie.

Many people mistakenly think that Huaguo is due to the late start of science fiction cultural works, especially science fiction literature. As a result, most audiences who are exposed to science fiction works will easily form a relatively narrow view and concept of science fiction subjects. Ah, even a disagreement with the expulsion of "subject registration".

But in fact, it is human nature to gain a sense of superiority by establishing a chain of contempt, and it is not unique to Chinese people.

In Europe and the United States, the voice of "grading" science fiction works may not be as good as Huaguo, but there are definitely some, and there are a lot of them.

Especially since the 90s, the theme of manga has gradually taken up more and more proportions on the big screen, until it almost monopolized the concept of "science fiction movies".

Most of the people who like comic book movies are young people, and at the same time, it is mostly young people who feel tired and rebellious about it.

It's just that after Chen Jingxing was born, they finally found a "benchmark" to support their ideas.

The situation in North America and China is similar. Chen Jingxing's fans have a kind of loyalty and organization that is completely different from other directors' fans, even close to fans. This is actually closely related to the subject matter of his works.

Fans of directors who often shoot mind-blowing, suspenseful or creatively set themes will be more fanatical than fans of other types of film directors.

After accumulating four films, Chen Jingxing has a website established by fans in North America. It is a movie fan community called "Science Fiction House", and the number is still growing. George is a senior netizen of this "Science Fiction House".

The fan website built by Chen Jingxing’s fans in North America is called "Science Fiction House". It is conceivable what his fans think about "sci-fi". There are no Nikkei discussions on the website when Chen Jingxing’s works are released or played. It's titles like "true sci-fi", "fake sci-fi", "not enough sci-fi", and "kicking super-English movies out of sci-fi".

In the eyes of Chen Jingxing's fans, the sci-fi movies that he likes are close to a kind of label. This kind of label is cool, fashionable, different from the current mainstream commercial film themes, and has a sense of superiority. Fanatical movie fans are naturally still a niche group.

George, who was a fan of Chen Jingxing's movie, did not draw Daniel's attention back with his exclamation.

In order to get the closest experience to the scene, Daniel bought two external speakers. Once the game starts, he connects the external speakers to the TV, which is equivalent to buying half a ticket for himself.

It's just that the family was miserable about this, and set a volume that both parties could temporarily accept in the repeated dragging and competing negotiations with their parents and younger brother George.

Unexpectedly, when George saw the movie trailer of his favorite director, he suddenly picked up the remote control and raised the volume.
