China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 381 Complex Human Nature

A lone blue and white electric locomotive drives on the railway.

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

Just as the virus was about to take over his brain, it reminded him clearly of the day his daughter was born.

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

He held her like a treasure.

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

The smile on the man's face was so incredible compared to those who showed the process of corpse transformation.

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

The white tenderness of the baby and the gray face of the zombie, the cry of the girl played by Zhao Jinmai and the smile of the man, the sad and sad violin music and the sunny wilderness are alternately presented.

DreamWorks' ambitions in this drama even exceeded Wu Heng's guess and imagination after watching the first episode.

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

Wu Heng previously thought that Chen Jingxing was overqualified for letting Tian Xinye direct such a zombie drama, but now he realizes that he underestimated DreamWorks' ambitions.

Although this episode has the structure of a disaster movie, the protagonist's humanity really moved him.

If you think about it carefully, the world view of "The Walking Dead" is certainly suitable for showing human nature, and there are already signs of this in the first episode, and it reaches its peak in the second episode.

As the subtitles rise, only the music is still pouring out like weeping, as if it is the lingering sound of a beautiful poem.

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

The episode ends with the rugged shadow cast by the moving train and the lonely playing of the violin.

The reason why Wu Heng was shocked by the world view created by "The Walking Dead" is that he saw that what could be displayed on this huge stage might exceed the audience's imagination.

Wu Heng never thought that he would have his heartstrings tugged so hard in a zombie drama that is considered to be heavy-handed, large-scale, and exciting.

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

I was immersed in the plot without realizing it.

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

But it's very rare here.

At this moment, he had to admit that he had not survived the second episode.

It’s not that there are action scenes and there are fewer zombie scenes than in the first episode, but that this episode focuses on showing humanity, and even makes the audience think that sanctimonious, indifferent people are more attractive than those unconscious zombies with their claws and claws. Terrible feeling.

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

Not only Wu Heng was a little disappointed, but other viewers were also more or less disappointed, which can be seen from the barrage.

What he is most worried about is that "The Walking Dead" will scare the audience. In that case, no matter how good the reputation is, it will not be conducive to getting out of the industry, let alone forming a popular subculture.

Therefore, the script for the first season of "The Walking Dead" took a long time to be polished and revised, while "Black Mirror" and "Person of Interest", which were developed at the same time, were produced and aired last year.

What has she experienced in the past month?

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 revenue in the future.

The first episode left such a big suspense, why don't you give me a flashback to the second episode?

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

The girl lying on the closed carriage door window looking at the man falling forward, her face crying in despair, seems to overlap with the cry of the first episode when she looked at the young man standing on the edge of the roof, and the subsequent crying comfort.

.

"The Walking Dead" only updates two episodes a week, which means it has to whet the audience's appetite for a week. Complaints are already considered a relatively harmonious expression by the audience.

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

Even in the first episode that was released yesterday, whether it was the husband who witnessed his wife turning from crying and pleading into a zombie through the peephole behind the door, or the final scene where the male protagonist rushed to the edge of the rooftop and discovered a false alarm amidst the girl’s shouts and cries.

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

That's it...that's it!

And this kind of hindsight and understanding only adds to the sadness and heaviness of this moment.

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

And why are you so obsessed with the refuge in Jiangcheng?

It is completely incompatible with that cruel, exciting, and heavy doomsday.

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

Because the flashback story was not as boring as he subconsciously thought - compared to the excitement of the first episode.

Like the horn of the tear ducts blowing, Wu Heng's tears completely overwhelmed his sight and the screen.

But of course it also received complaints from many viewers. After all, the suspense left in the first episode was not resolved at all in the second episode, but instead dug more holes.

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

In the total of fifteen episodes in the first season, many interludes and flashbacks were used. For example, there are two "flashback episodes" for the character of the girl.

On the zombie train, where everyone is in danger, various human hearts are displayed.

Because the male protagonist is a nameless person who has lost his memory, his origin will not be revealed until much later. When he wakes up, it is already the end of the world, which lacks the appearance of all living beings and the construction of the world view when the crisis first broke out.

Wu Heng was more interested in the story of how the protagonists struggled in the apocalypse, whether they could reach the refuge, and whether there was a refuge in Jiangcheng. In his opinion, the flashback technique was a bit unsatisfactory.

Flashback techniques are not uncommon in film and television dramas.

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

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

These plots that made people feel sour and heavy did not make Wu Heng shed tears.

If the second episode is about all living beings in a disaster background, then the male protagonist of this episode is the anchor of it all.

Moreover, the plot temperature rises step by step, making people want to stop.

But soon, his disappointment and complaints disappeared.

While Chen Jingxing was filming "The Matrix II", he was also very concerned about the public response to the premiere of "The Walking Dead".

Different from the excitement and shock that the first episode brought to him, the second episode was like a poetic movement with a long aftertaste.

He had already drafted the video draft after watching the first episode last night and had to rethink it.

Crowds of people, ordinary marketplace, an ordinary picture of the human world.

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

Not only does it make "The Walking Dead", which already has a heavy background, even heavier, but it also obscures the perception and evaluation of "exciting", "bloody", and "heavy-tongued" to a certain extent.

However, this doubt only lasted for a few dozen seconds. When the father and daughter sitting in the carriage appeared in the camera, Wu Heng knew the theme of the second episode.

He was surprised by the richness of the plot design. The unique ethics and morals of Eastern society, human relationships, karma... were all incorporated into the story.

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

His tear count is not low. The last time he couldn't hold back his tears was during the TV series "Signal" the year before last.

The principle followed is that all partners who team up with the male protagonist will receive such treatment.

Where she learned about Jiangcheng Youshe Refuge was not explained in this episode.

Some people's hearts sparkle like gems, while others are as chilling as ghost lands.

Moreover, he was frightened and moved. He suddenly despaired when he thought he was full of hope, and then left a little hope after he finally despaired.

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

In the ink cast by the slanting sunlight on the train, a man's shadow broke away from the shadow of the train and slowly fell down at an angle.

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

Although the second episode does not have as direct suspense as the first episode, it actually leaves some pitfalls, such as why the girl on the train did not arrive at her destination, Jiangcheng.

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

His original indifference and arrogance, as well as his selfishness regardless of the safety of others, gradually faded away from his sanctimonious appearance in this sudden disaster, and turned into a three-dimensional, vivid, valuable and brave man.

After the first episode set up and showed a shocking doomsday background, making the audience very interested in the story that is about to happen in the apocalypse, the second episode suddenly left the doomsday scene.

When we arrive in Jiangcheng, other important supporting characters will appear. Through 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 mission of the first season is to establish a solid and comprehensive worldview that can provide a model for all similar themes in the future.

The second season will reveal the origin of the virus and the conspiracy of the mastermind through the exploration of the protagonist team. More and more powerful zombies and monsters will appear. The male protagonist will also show his extraordinary strength and speed as a clone experiment.

, the entertainment and excitement will be stronger.

And now it seems that "The Walking Dead" has indeed made a good start through the first two episodes. If young Chinese audiences can accept this world view, then there should be no problem overseas.
