The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 381 Complex Human Nature

A lone blue and white electric locomotive travels the railway.

The man stood on the edge of the open car door, a layer of white mist appeared in his pupils, but his face did not become ferocious. A smile slowly appeared on his pale face, like a baby, pure and flawless.

When the virus was about to take over his brain, he clearly recalled the day his daughter was born.

In his arms, the little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

He hugged her like a treasure in his arms.

Even though his eyes have turned gray and white and he can no longer see, and his humanity will soon disappear, the most beautiful picture of his life is still in his mind.

The smile on the man's face is so inconceivable compared with those who showed the process of the corpse transformation.

But the softest corner of Wu Heng's heart in front of the computer screen was hit hard.

The tenderness of the baby and the ashen face of the zombie, the cry of the girl played by Zhao Jinmai and the smile of the man, the mournful violin soundtrack and the sunny field are presented alternately.

Wu Heng never thought that he would be so ruthlessly pulled at the heartstrings in a zombie drama that was considered heavy mouthed, large scale and exciting.

His tears were not low. The last time he couldn't hold back his tears was in the TV series "Signal" the year before last.

Even in the first episode that went live yesterday, whether it was the husband watching his wife change from crying and begging to a zombie through the cat's eyes behind the door, or the male lead rushing to the edge of the rooftop and finding a false alarm amid the girl's shouting and crying.

These sour and heavy plots did not make Wu Heng shed tears.

And at this moment, he had to admit that he didn't make it through the second episode.

The cruelest thing in the world is to polish an ugly stone into a pure jade, and then tear such beauty into pieces.

And it is still destroyed in the sunshine, in the beauty and hope.

If the second episode is a portrait of all living beings in the context of a disaster, then the hero of this episode is the anchor of all this.

His original indifference and arrogance, his selfishness of disregarding the safety of others, gradually faded from his sanctimonious appearance in this sudden disaster, and became a three-dimensional, vivid, precious and brave man.

And such a brave protagonist became a shooting star sacrificed to the audience in the second episode.

In the ink color cast by the sun slanting on the train, the shadow of a man escaped from the shadow of the train, and fell slowly at an angle.

Like blowing the horn of the tear duct, Wu Heng's tears completely flooded his vision and the screen.

The girl lay on the closed car door and window and watched the man fall forward. The face of despair and weeping seemed to overlap with the cry of the young man standing on the edge of the roof in the first episode and the subsequent crying comfort. .

That's it...that's it!
And this kind of belated understanding adds to the sadness and heaviness of the moment.

The episode closes with the solitary strumming of a violin amidst the sinuous shadows cast by a moving train.

With the rise of the subtitles, only the music is still pouring out, like the lingering sound of a beautiful poem.

It wasn't until the end of the film came to an end, and the picture was frozen again, that Wu Heng regained his composure and couldn't help but sigh.

After he watched the first episode last night, he had to rethink the draft of the video that he had already typed.

If the content of the first episode exceeded his expectations and imagination for this subject, then the second episode once again exceeded his imagination.

He was stunned at the beginning of the second episode, and the barrage basically had the same idea as him.

When the first episode built and showed a shocking doomsday background, which aroused the audience's great interest in the story that will happen in the end of the world, the second episode suddenly broke away from the doomsday scene.

Crowded, mortal market, an ordinary world.

Totally out of step with that cruel, thrilling, heavy doom.

But this kind of question only lasted for tens of seconds. When the father and daughter sitting on the car seat appeared in the camera, Wu Heng knew the theme of the second episode.

The story of the brave and strong girl in the first episode.

Flashbacks are not uncommon in film and television dramas.

But it's very rare to put it here.

The first episode left such a big suspense, and the second episode will flashback for me?

Not only Wu Heng was slightly disappointed, but other audience members were also more or less disappointed, as could be seen from the barrage.

Wu Heng is more interested in the story of how the protagonists struggle in the last days, whether they can reach the refuge, and whether there is a refuge in Jiangcheng. In his opinion, the method of flashback is a bit ink-stained.

But soon, his disappointment and complaints disappeared.

Because the flashback story is not as boring as he subconsciously believes-relative to the excitement of the first episode.

Unconsciously, I was immersed in the plot.

And the temperature of the plot is rising layer by layer, which makes people want to stop.

Although this episode is structured as a disaster movie, the protagonist's humanity really moved him.

The selfishness of human nature, the love behind the selfishness, the selfishness behind the greatness.

On the zombie train where everyone is at risk, all kinds of people's hearts are shown.

Some people's hearts are shining like gems, while others are like ghost lands, which make people feel cold.

He was surprised by the full plot design. The unique ethics, sophistication, and karma of Eastern society... were all transferred into the story.

Moreover, shock and emotion were intertwined. When he thought he was full of hope, he suddenly despaired, and after he finally despaired, he left a little hope.

In the six 10-minute plot, each of the dozen or so portrayed characters impressed him deeply.

Different from the stimulation and shock brought to him by the first episode, the second episode is like a poetic movement with a long aftertaste.

It's strange that he used poetic words to describe a TV series set in the zombie apocalypse.

Wu Heng used to think that it was overkill for Chen Jingxing to ask Tian Xinye to direct such a zombie drama, but now he realizes that he underestimated DreamWorks' ambitions.

DreamWorks' ambitions in this drama even surpassed Wu Hengang's speculation and imagination after watching the first episode.

The reason why Wu Heng was shocked by the world view created by "The Walking Dead" is that he saw that what can be shown on this huge stage may exceed the imagination of the audience.

And in the second episode, DreamWorks told him what kind of house they built on this stage.

Thinking about it carefully, the world view of "The Walking Dead" is certainly suitable for showing humanity, and there are already signs of this in the first episode, and it directly reached its peak in the second episode.

Tian Xinye's poetic lens language also adds artistic depth to the already excellent script.

Although the second episode is not as suspenseful as the first episode, it actually left some pitfalls, such as why the girl on the train did not arrive at her destination, Jiangcheng.

What has she experienced in this nearly a month.

How did he come to the city where the hero lives?

Where did she learn about the Jiangcheng Refuge, it was not explained in this episode.

And why is he so obsessed with Jiangcheng's refuge.

It can be said that the previous pit has not been filled, and a new pit has been added.

But Wu Heng is not dissatisfied with the quality of the second episode, even this episode is better than the first episode in his mind.

Just when Wu Heng conceived the commentary and commentary video script for the first two episodes of "The Walking Dead", the second episode also aroused more reactions and discussions than the first episode on the Internet.

Compared with the first episode, the second episode can be called a tear-jerking blockbuster, which also weakens the impact of the heavy content on the audience in a certain sense.

It's not that there are fewer action scenes and zombie shots than in the first episode, but that this episode focuses on the display of human nature, and even makes the audience think that compared to those gnashing and clawing, unconscious zombies, those sanctimonious, indifferent and indifferent people are better. terrible feeling.

Not only does it make "The Walking Dead", which already has a heavy background, even heavier, but it also covers up perceptions and evaluations such as "stimulation", "bloody" and "heavy mouth" in a certain sense.

Compared with the novelty and excitement of the first episode, the second episode is more touching for the audience.

But of course, many viewers complained about it. After all, the suspense left by the first episode was not resolved at all in the second episode, but more holes were dug.

"The Walking Dead" only updates two episodes a week, which means that it will whet the audience's appetite for a week, and making complaints is already a relatively harmonious expression of the audience.

While Chen Jingxing was filming "Matrix II", he also paid close attention to the public opinion response to the premiere of "The Walking Dead".

After all, this involves the development of a series of IPs such as games and movies in the future, which can be regarded as a pillar for DreamWorks to support its own revenue in the future.

What he is most worried about is that "The Walking Dead" will scare the audience. In that case, no matter how good the word of mouth is, it will not be conducive to getting out of the circle, let alone forming a popular subculture?
Therefore, the script of the first season of "The Walking Dead" has been polished and revised for a long time, while "Black Mirror" and "Suspect Tracker", which were launched at the same time, were completed and broadcast last year.

There are a total of [-] episodes in the first season, and a lot of interludes and flashbacks are indeed used. For example, there are two more episodes of "flashback episodes" for the character of the girl.

The principle to follow is that all partners who form a team with the male protagonist have such treatment.

Because the male protagonist is an anonymous man with no memory, his origin will not be unfolded until a long time later. As soon as he wakes up, it is already the end of the world, so he lacks the image of all living beings and the worldview construction when the crisis first broke out.

When we arrive in Jiangcheng, other important supporting roles will appear. Through the presentation of the flashback stories of several characters including the girl, we can connect the beginning of the virus outbreak and the process experienced in the middle.

The task of the first season is to establish a solid, comprehensive, complete and grand world view that can provide a model for all similar themes in the future.

The second season is to reveal the origin of the virus through the exploration of the protagonist team, and the conspiracy behind the scenes. More and more powerful zombies and monsters will appear. The male protagonist will also show his strength and speed beyond ordinary people as a cloning experiment , entertainment and stimulation will be stronger.

But now it seems that "The Walking Dead" has indeed made a good start through the first two episodes. If the young audience in Huaguo can accept this worldview, then overseas should be no problem.
