China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 271 Interpretation of Carnival

The purpose of the novelty gimmick in the first episode of "Black Mirror" is to allow the show to spread quickly after its premiere, creating popularity and thereby attracting traffic to the TV series.

However, if it is just a weird setting or novel plot that can arouse people's interest, it will not be able to achieve word-of-mouth communication, it will not have sustained vitality, and it will not be able to continuously benefit and promote the audience.

At most, it can play the role of "President! My wife is suffering from miscarriage and bleeding! He dotes on his first love and informs the obstetrics and gynecology department that he is not allowed to save her!" or "The Dragon King returns to his throne and gives an order to summon 300,000 war gods to rescue the monster.

Daughter sold into a brothel".

After the audience has satisfied their curiosity, all they have left is to complain, criticize and even curse.

Of course, "Black Mirror" also has a lot of complaints, but they are basically focused on the bizarre plot setting of "male protagonist

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

On a large knowledge question and answer website, several questions related to "Black Mirror" appeared in succession. And they were all on the hot list.

In addition to "How do you evaluate the first episode of the DreamWorks online drama "Black Mirror"?", there are also "Why did the kidnapper ask the male protagonist to have sex with a pig?", "Why did the male protagonist of "Black Mirror" commit suicide in the end?"

, "What will happen next when the media wants to interview the little girl and her parents at the end?", "Is there any other solution to this kind of thing in real society?" and other questions have triggered a lot of discussion.

Except for a few who are clever, most of the answers are very serious. In addition to all kinds of praise for "Black Mirror", they also analyze and deduce the show from various psychological, sociological, legal, media, etc. perspectives.

Netizens collectively created and extended the story of the first episode.

Even Chen Jingxing felt a little numb and disgusted after reading some of the answers.

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

When the little girl in the blackmail video told the kidnapper's conditions, were you shocked and secretly excited?

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 valuable thing about "Black Mirror". Its novel plot has a strong eye-catching ability, but it does not try to give you the same hearty viewing experience as "The Signal", but makes you uneasy throughout the whole process.

Feeling in constant shock and thinking]

It has to be said that the secondary creations of the audience and netizens are the biggest contributor to "Black Mirror"'s ability to trigger topic discussions and create popularity.

But after reading it, I was so shocked that I was speechless for a few minutes. At the end, the somewhat conscientious media editor knocked on the table twice, which felt like it hit my heart directly.

Some people say this is a satire on society and a black humor, but I think it is Chen Jingxing’s malice towards the world and me!

It was as if he heard my voice and saw my expectations for his next works to explore more connotations, so he looked at me with disdain. He wanted to see something with depth, right? He wanted to see realism.

Right? You want to criticize society, right?

It's the scene where the male protagonist Lin Wei breaks the fourth wall before committing suicide!

Last year, I voted for the most famous TV drama scene of the year selected by

For example, the movie version of "Signal" and "Source Code" are very touching about family and love. The protagonists all have a fearless spirit of sacrifice. Soldiers are willing to sacrifice to protect the people, firefighters are willing to sacrifice their lives to save a little girl, and police are trying to investigate.

The criminal does not hesitate to put himself in danger, even if he is not a police officer, he is willing to follow and protect the victim in order to save his life.

Chen Jingxing is really awesome. He is not just satirizing the people in the play. Through these three seconds of looking at the audience, he also swept the audience in front of the screen into it, scolding them both inside and outside the play.

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

I read that some answers and drama reviews said that setting the culprit of the incident as a madman was a bit like a deus ex machina, so that there was no need to explain the logic of the madman's behavior, which was a failure in the first episode.

Then the male protagonist retracted his gaze, walked to the balcony without any hesitation, turned over and jumped off, his movements were clean and neat, without any delay or entanglement. I have never seen such a "sloppy" suicide by jumping off the building in a film or television drama.

I never expected that it was a star drama, so he tried his best to restrain himself. "Black Mirror" was the big meal. My stomach hurt when I watched it. It was not only depressing but also heavy-handed.

Then a plate of things was served. Well, this is human society. Does it look good?

Then I cried and said it didn't look good, it was disgusting, but I wanted more...

[Chen Jingxing is included in the screenwriter list of the TV series "Signal" and "Black Mirror". To be honest, I think Chen Jingxing has some psychological problems. His movies seem to be positive and optimistic.

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

Because we live in a normal society, you are not aware of the underlying pathology in this society. Only when a madman tears off the veil that covers modern society can you see the madness of modern society.

When the police raided the suspect's address on the first day, were you secretly hoping that the police would make a fool of themselves and not catch the kidnapper and the little girl? Because you couldn't control your curiosity and wanted to see me fuck a pig?

Chen Jingxing browsed the reviews and various interpretations on the Internet and felt that the degree of divergence of netizens' thinking had exceeded his imagination. It seemed that everyone could see what they wanted in this drama.

The drama version of "Signal" is just about depression and abuse. Each of the three main characters died once, and they were tortured repeatedly. Everyone is incomplete and has shortcomings, and each one is better than the other.

A perverted case, I thought this was Chen Jingxing’s limit.

Now I deeply suspect that this was a script that the film bureau forced him to write at gunpoint (Dog Head).

The heroine's "I kill myself" in "Comet", the "no one survived" in "Fatal Identity" and the evil little boy personality are the essence of Chen Jingxing's style. Later, he pretended to be positive for the sake of the market and the box office.

.

[…Through the police investigation in the play, we learn that the kidnapper is a performance artist suffering from mental illness. This setting may seem absurd, but it is actually the finishing touch.

So when it comes to TV dramas, especially web dramas, Chen Jingxing completely lets himself go.

At the beginning, it really felt like watching a ghost movie. I was so scared that I almost dropped my tablet. Indeed, I have seen many film and television dramas with such elements of breaking the fourth wall. Based on the foreign ones,

There are many (breaking the fourth wall is when the actors in the drama directly face the audience, talk or interact with the audience), and "Black Mirror" is the most terrifying and shocking.

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

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

He didn't say anything, didn't sneer or laugh sarcastically, he just looked at me directly, of course he was actually looking at the camera.

Finally, I want to retract my previous "slander" of this show before "Black Mirror" was released. Chen Jingxing may be short, no, "Black Mirror" may be short, but it will definitely bring you a lot of spiritual impact and thinking.

[There are a lot of comments and witty remarks about the first episode, so I won’t repeat them. I’ll just talk about the shocking scenes that the first episode brought to me.

It's not that the picture is heavy, but the whole plot is so heavy that it makes people feel nauseated and nauseated. It was a mental shock to me.

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

The reason why this episode can bring a very strong sense of black humor or absurdity to people is not precisely because it constructs an absurd element in a normal social background, thus making the entire society absurd and scary.

stand up.

When I entered that empty room and came face to face with the pig, did you feel a little annoyed at the sudden "black light"?

When I came back to public appearances after two months, were you like the media reporters and the public on TV, staring at my face, not letting go of the slightest detail of my expression, wanting to see me suddenly collapse or lose control?"

Why do I, a good movie fan, feel like a fake? Being a fan of Chen Jingxing has this advantage. There is never a shortage of surprises...or horrors. Chen Jingxing is like a magician. You don't know what he will do next from the hat.

What is conjured may be a kitten or a tiger.

I see a lot of people haven't mentioned this. The most shocking or even horrifying scene for me is not the moment when the male protagonist Lin Wei opened the door and saw a 300-pound old sow after taking medicine, although that moment will last forever.

It's engraved in my DNA.

This year I will not hesitate or hesitate to vote for the three-second eye scene where the male protagonist breaks the fourth wall in the first episode of "Black Mirror" and the subsequent scene of jumping off a building.

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

Of course, this also means that "Black Mirror" has extremely strong vitality and can trigger a lot of divergent thinking and secondary creation among netizens. Film and television dramas may not necessarily become classics, but they will definitely achieve great success in terms of commercial value.

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

After the first episode was aired, it aroused public opinion and attention, and the paid on-demand data for the subsequent four episodes will definitely increase significantly.

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