China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 284 “Gravity” lands in North America

"The fifth episode of "Black Mirror" brings a perfect ending to this mini-web series."

"Chen Jingxing announced on Weibo that "Black Mirror" will have a second season"

"It did not fall but rose. After the last episode was aired, the Douban score of "Black Mirror" rose to 9.6 points."

""Black Mirror" has reached 1 billion views on the entire network! The average single episode exceeds 200 million! The number of views per episode has surpassed "The Signal", becoming the TV series with the highest number of views per episode in 2016!"

"Why can DreamWorks produce so many phenomenal hits one after another?"

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

"DreamWorks' new drama "Person of Interest" has been snapped up. Penguin Video wants to buy the exclusive rights? DreamWorks has not responded."

"The pre-sales of "The Signal: The Mirage" have exceeded 100 million! The "Black Mirror" effect helped this movie overtake "Xuan Zang"!"

"The finale of "Black Mirror" is a hit. It is rumored that DreamWorks has contacted the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the listing plan has been confirmed?"

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

George pretended to be different from others: "I have my own way of loving things, I'm not a barbarian, and I do like watching movies, and some movies are really more interesting than football games."

"The last episode of "Black Mirror" was broadcast simultaneously on the Internet, and overseas netizens were full of praise!"

The first episode of "Black Mirror" caused a viral topic after it was aired due to its novelty element and the fact that most people had never seen this type of science fiction drama, igniting all social networks.

It was dubbed a "sacred drama" after only one episode.

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

None of us can stop the wheel of technological progress from rumbling forward, but we also cannot ignore the dark side brought about by technological progress. These dark points come together in "Black Mirror", making it impossible for us to outline the utopia, nor YY

Never leave Fantasyland.

A deep and mellow baritone voice came from the TV, attracting George's attention.

At the same time, he also controls his children's pocket money very strictly. The last time Daniel went to watch a game, he used his classmates' cars to go to and from school, and saved gas money to buy the tickets.

[As a fan of "Black Mirror" who fell in love with me after watching the first episode, I have to say that Chen Jingxing's psychological and philosophical foundation is really profound. After watching the last episode, I feel really good now

Excited, the level of this episode is definitely the peak of this season! It surpasses the first episode that many people talk about.

Fans of directors who often shoot brain-burning, suspenseful or creative setting themes will be more enthusiastic than fans of directors of other types of films.

This episode, as always, created a dystopian and cruel world. Chen Jingxing never used bright words such as sunshine, ideals and beauty as the main theme in this drama. One second it was a bright and brilliant life, and the next

Seconds will always hit the bottom hard.

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

This episode is so cleverly arranged, with one story inside another like the Thousand and One Nights, and there are twists and turns in each story.

…

Daniel was indignant: "That's because my mother confiscated the money I paid for selling that thing. Otherwise, why can't I afford it?"

Daniel leaned back on the sofa and complained to the sky.

"There is no medium for transmitting sound...no atmospheric pressure...no oxygen..." the low narration continued.

ps: I hope to see the second season of "Black Mirror" on station C next year. I heard that "Person of Interest" has been sold to a sky-high price by an unscrupulous video website]

He was also the first to watch Chen Jingxing's "Signal" and "Source Code" in the cinema, and then became a loyal fan of Chen Jingxing's movies. At the same time, he also fell into the pit of science fiction movies. Of course, the "science fiction movies" here do not include

Comic book movie.

The first four episodes usually contain one science fiction idea per episode, but in the last episode, not only did it last more than 60 minutes, which was the longest of the five episodes, but the science fiction ideas were also poured out like a fountain, and the audience couldn't react.

"Hey! Dan!" Mom walked out of the kitchen and stuck her head out, looking at her eldest son with stern eyes.

"Johnson·chen?" George was familiar with this name and quickly picked up the remote control to increase the volume.

Tickets for a Philadelphia Eagles home game cost at least $130. Daniel's parents had little interest in football, or even all sports, and would not buy family season tickets to watch football.

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

After all, every episode contains strong black humor and full science fiction creativity, and every story can trigger in-depth thinking.

When the earth, which occupied 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! A space science fiction film, this is

Trailer."

“Touchdown!wow!FXXk Belichick!…”

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

The second to fourth episodes are basically not as exciting as the first episode. Of course, everyone has their own preferences, and there are still many people who like or even love a certain story in these three episodes.

After accumulating four movies, Chen Jingxing has a website established by fans in North America, which can be regarded as a fan community, called "Science Fiction Home", and the number of people is still growing. George is a senior netizen of this "Science Fiction Home".

Many people mistakenly think that China started late because of science fiction cultural works, especially science fiction literature. As a result, most viewers who are exposed to science fiction works will easily form a narrow view and concept of science fiction themes. They can easily distinguish between hard and soft.

Ah, even if you disagree, you will be expelled from the "subject".

Especially since the 1990s, comic book themes have gradually accounted for more and more of the big screen, until they have almost monopolized the concept of "science fiction movies".

George rolled his eyes: "What are you going to do if there are no commercials during the halftime break? An honor guard performance? It's not a college game."

I'm really looking forward to the second season. Now I regret watching Chen Jingxing's phone interview. There really wasn't much information in this interview. Apart from 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...

George is a fan of Chen Jingxing's movies. The first time he watched Chen Jingxing's movie was "Fatal Identity" when he went to the cinema with his brother. Although Daniel felt that the movie was pretentious, it particularly suited his taste. He even thought it was the movie he watched.

The coolest suspense movie ever.

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.

He was so "cruel" in the twist at the end that it was even too harsh in my opinion, but this is "Black Mirror".

"Then you can only buy one or two games. You still can't afford season tickets. You still have to watch at home..."

In Europe and the United States, there may not be as many voices in "grading" science fiction works as there are in China, but there are definitely some, and there are a lot of them.

George was speechless as he watched his brother Daniel jump on the sofa, clenching his fists and roaring as if he was in no man's land.

Daniel's attention was also drawn: "What? A documentary?"

"GRAVITY...Directed by JOHNSON·CHEN!"

"If you can afford the tickets..." George shrugged, mocking his elder brother.

"..."

There is a fully upgraded version of the creativity in the second episode - Smart Eye, which can not only share the screen and guide you to pick up girls in real time, but also has a blocking function that is like the Internet coming to reality. It can actively block others, directly anonymously, or blacklist specific people.

The last episode is like a shot in the arm, and has even been dubbed a "science fiction feast" by many fans of Chen Jingxing's movies. The main reason is that there are indeed many science fiction elements involved in this episode.

Science fiction movies that like Chen Jingxing are close to a label in the eyes of his fans. This label is cool, fashionable, different from the current mainstream commercial movie themes, and has a sense of superiority. Of course, this kind of label

Fanatic movie fans are naturally still a niche group.

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

The second story about extracting a copy of consciousness, at first I thought it was a woman's consciousness that was extracted and trapped in an egg, but it turned out to be a copy of consciousness that would be enslaved by the subject of consciousness.

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

This is the first story about a love expert guiding an otaku to pick up girls. When the camera suddenly switches to the screen of the live broadcast room, and when the girl suddenly feeds him poisonous wine after the passion, it can really make people tremble without warning.

Most of the people who like comic book movies are young people, and most of the people who are tired and rebellious about them are also young people.

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

Compared with the trailers in China, this TV commercial has dubbing, not just subtitles.

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

The third story is even more amazing, divided into two parts, from bumping into a person to later finding out that he killed his own daughter with his own hands.

And the ending is full of twists and turns, one layer after another, leaving people in a state of "unexpected". Of course, what is "reasonable" is that the ending is definitely "dark and sad".

Chen Jingxing's fan website in North America is called "Science Fiction Home". You can imagine what his fans think of "science fiction". There is no Nikkei discussion on the website when Chen Jingxing's works were released or played.

There are titles like “real science fiction”, “fake science fiction”, “not enough science fiction”, and “we should kick superhero movies out of science fiction”.

As a fan of Chen Jingxing's movies, George's exclamation did not attract Daniel's attention.

In order to get the closest experience to the scene, Daniel bought two external speakers. Once the game started, he connected the external speakers to the TV, which was equivalent to buying half a ticket.

However, the family was miserable about this, and during repeated negotiations with their parents and younger brother George, they settled on a volume that both parties could accept for a short time.

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