I became famous after I didn't grow tall

Movie fans are looking forward to Wei Lan's works so much because every time her movie brings something new and different, in addition to education, many people in the industry also call her an innovator in the film industry.

Judging from the trailer, the new movie has a new complex and unique world view.

In the past movie environment, people's ideas for the future world were either that machines were king or that they launched interstellar exploration. However, in Wei Lan's new movie, with the promising title of "New World", society is still facing the dynasty. developing in a negative direction.

It feels unexpected and reasonable at the same time, because the development of society has both good and bad directions. The information revealed in this movie shows another kind of ability. development route.

Although it is not at all in line with people's idealized expectations of the future, the mechanical decadence is uniquely charming. Compared with an overly perfect utopia, dystopia can give people a more realistic feeling.

Different from Wei Lan's past movies, this movie's trailer immediately triggered a wave of discussion on the entire Internet as soon as the trailer was released.

The early publicity and preparation for Star Wars, the fame of the main creator, etc. are not the main reasons, but the setting of future society in this direction for the first time, which has aroused the public's thinking.

#What will the future society look like? #This topic became the top trending topic on Weibo immediately after the release of the trailer.

The social concept in "New World" may cause controversy and discussion, which Wei Lan expected, because the cyberpunk trend of thought has not yet appeared in this world, but once it appeared, it immediately boiled to this point. It was something she didn't expect, and it even directly made the movie a hit before it was broadcast.

Various interview invitations flew to Secretary Wang. During the promotion period, Wei Lan chose to accept an official phone interview from Weibo.

"Director Wei's new film, about the future society, has triggered discussions across the Internet. Is this vision of the future the future world you think it is?"

The interview video directly showed Wei Lan's Weibo avatar, and Panda Zai Zai said in a cold female voice: "It can only be said to be a development direction, because this is in line with some of our psychological expectations to a certain extent."

"Oh?" the reporter asked doubtfully: "Don't we think that the future we expect is very good? In other words, if there is a crisis, then in my impression, it comes from the rapid development of technology and stars. Threats and more.”

"Yes, this is a psychological expectation, but generally speaking, it is a positive psychological expectation, that is, the fruits of science and technology are shared by society, and the earth's environment has not been severely damaged." Wei Lan said: "And "The New World" "In "", social problems have not been solved due to technological development, and the structure has not become better, or even worse. Although this sounds bad, it is actually in line with people's psychological expectations."

"Compliant?" The reporter was puzzled.

"Yes, this is also a psychological effect, that is, no matter what the situation, most people are always more inclined to believe in bad people." Wei Lan explained: "Just like the most eye-catching ones, they are always those who Scandals and gossip, when seeing some unexplainable news, various conspiracy theories will pop up in everyone’s mind.”

"Yes, yes..." Journalists in the journalism industry couldn't help but agree: "Why?"

Wei Lan replied: "Because we humans are the descendants of Homo sapiens. From ancient times, when everyone lived together in groups, our ancestors would choose to believe bad news such as a fire or a wild beast attack, and then respond quickly , and those who are unmoved by bad news are already dead. The sense of crisis has been engraved in our abilities and passed on through our genes, so we always like to believe in negative news.”

At this time, many fans were watching this interview, and the barrage never stopped.

‘Science popularizer Wei Dao’

‘It’s not unreasonable’

‘Why do I always feel that Director Wei is just talking nonsense? ’

'Ha ha ha ha'

"Uh...I see." The reporter did not expect that Wei Lan would explain this from a biological and genetic perspective. He was stunned for a while, and then tried hard to find the topic he wanted to ask before: "What about the design of this new movie?" Is it your allegory for the future? With the development of consciousness connection technology, do you think the scene in your trailer where one person’s consciousness takes over another person’s consciousness can be realized?

It turned out to be waiting here.

Wei Lan understood why this movie set off a wave of discussion in the world.

In Wei Lan's world, there is no such advanced consciousness linking technology. Things like director machines are completely YY science fiction products in Wei Lan's world. Because it is fantasy, people have a lot of room for imagination. Cyberspace There are still a lot of fans of the punk setting, and Wei Lan lived in a world with a similar development path in his dream, so he didn't think it was anything strange at first.

In this world, consciousness linking technology is real. Although it has not developed to the level of fantasy, holographic video equipment is indeed a product of this technology.

Therefore, people in this world are more responsive and interested in consciousness connection technology than in the world Wei Lan used to live in.

Knowing that the matter was a bit serious, Wei Lan still had a strong desire to survive and explained: "This is just a function. The meaning of a movie is to express the theme and become interesting because of imagination. The function will add some dramatic variables, rather than To say that I really think society will evolve like that in the future..."

‘Let me just say, Director Wei would not be so pessimistic’

‘I think it doesn’t matter if you think so, we should really protect the environment’

'It's not about protecting the environment, but about whether we should continue to vigorously develop consciousness technology. Some time ago, some experts pointed out that if consciousness connection technology goes deeper, it may infringe on the right of residents. Who wants to Are your thoughts being read by a machine? ’

The controversy over consciousness connection technology is also an issue that has been brought up again by the public recently after the release of the trailer of "New World".

This was just ordinary news a month ago. It caused some discussion and then was forgotten, because technological progress does not come just by talking about it. The public opinion is that after it has really developed to that point, the application scenarios of the technology will be considered.

And after Wei Lan, who has a very high status, released such a movie trailer, this aspect of the discussion was brought up again.

Although the movie is a dramatic scene, it can still be regarded as a kind of ability after the development of consciousness connection technology. This involves human and ethical issues - just like someone previously proposed to extract consciousness and save it on the Internet, this person The question of whether you are still alive.

Wei Lan's desire to survive has been very obvious. She just wants to concentrate on making movies. She doesn't want to express anything about the controversy over consciousness connection technology. The reporter will just accept it. After all, it is rare for Wei Lan to win an interview. She can't. Therefore, I have offended this most popular director at the time. Anyway, everyone can just go to the cinema to see what it is like.

…

On the afternoon of October 3rd, the cinema was crowded.

The amount of promotional resources invested in the third part of "Star Wars" is even greater than that of the second part. However, it is no longer the place where almost all theaters were covered by "Star Wars" posters like the second part.

The lobby of the cinema basically forms two distinct sides of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. On one side is the flaming Star Wars poster, and on the other side is the world of "New World" that combines wilderness and technology.

A girl shook her boyfriend's hand and said: "You can guess the plot direction of "Star Wars", but I still want to watch "A New World" first. I really want to know what will happen after the consciousness is connected."

The boy said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Cang Haixiao, who was waiting in line at the back, didn't expect to get a mouthful of dog food after queuing up, but at the ticket window, he still chose "New World".

He is considered a fan of Wei Lan. Although as a semi-professional film critic, "Star Wars" is also one of his must-see movies in the near future, but on the first day of the premiere, he still gave priority to Wei Lan's movie.

The Laughter in the Sea paid attention to this director when Wei Lan's first film was released. I saw with my own eyes that her famous films were not like some fleeting trends, but were steadily moving forward one step at a time. She left her unique mark on the entertainment industry.

What new story will Director Wei bring this time?

Sitting on the chair and adjusting to a comfortable sitting position, Canghaixiao put the patch on his temples and let the instrument cover his eyes.

Those who had the same mood as him were his fans who were watching in the cinema at this time.

After his eyesight went dark, a light appeared in front of him.

The scene in the trailer shows people in the wilderness looking at the advertisement for "New World", looking forward to this opportunity to change their destiny.

In the eyes of people who live in urban areas and have a comfortable environment, "New World" is an advertisement for the game.

Use consciousness connection technology to allow urban residents to gain control of the body of the Wilderness, and then do whatever they want, because their body is not their own body at that time. They can squander it at will without fear of injury or death, which is enough to live. Comfortable wealthy people looking for a different kind of excitement.

After the "New World" advertisement in the city square ended, the news was played on the big screen again:

"The House of Lords proposed that Senator Ou Shi proposed banning the operation of the "New World" game for the third time. He claimed that the Wilderness also has human rights and should not operate "New World" in violation of their right to know, but he was opposed by 73.4% ticket……"

What is extremely ironic is that after this news broadcast, it jumped to an advertisement for the new world.

In this advertisement, it is not the host's explanation, but the actual video. There is a scene of 'players' breaking into the wilderness and killing the people inside.

They possess more advanced weapons that ordinary wilderness dwellers do not have, and bombs come one after another like fireworks without stopping.

Corresponding to the intense and restless scene in the advertisement, the urban citizens on the billboard are well-dressed, some are exercising, some are walking their dogs, and they are greeting each other politely, looking peaceful.

The director's perspective includes billboards and public buildings, one or two "screens" separated by scenes, and the contrast in form and painting.

The peaceful and peaceful urban humans are also wild wild beasts in the wilderness.
