China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 429 Another disappearance case

"Why is it still the computer desktop?"

This was a question raised by Zhang Qisheng and many people in the viewing room, and there were even whispers.

Zhang Qisheng originally regarded the opening clip, which was edited on a computer desktop, as a novel way to introduce the background of the story and introduce the protagonist.

The clip of just a few minutes allows the audience to understand the growth and experience of this family. It ends with the mother dying of cancer. Then the main film should start, right?

The lens should be out, right?

It should be back to normal, right?

But no, it's still the computer desktop.

There is no camera, no camera movement, no storyboards, and there is absolutely no tendency to separate from the computer desktop.

Is there only the desktop after the whole movie? In addition to the computer desktop, there is also a mobile phone desktop.

Can this also be called a movie? There is no camera or lens. Is this ridiculous? Is this appropriate?

But it seems...it doesn't prevent the audience from understanding the plot.

The same is true for the first episode of "Black Mirror II" now. It is also a disappearance case. At least it seems to be a disappearance case for now. It also seems to be based on the current level of network development as the technical background, but the narrative form is quite special and novel.

It has never been seen before that we have put aside the camera, the lens, and the film, and told the story entirely through editing on the computer desktop.

Zhang Qi was excited, and the plot became interesting.

Zhang Qisheng took the opportunity to relieve the tension that had just accumulated, and turned back to the employees of the computer technology department and nodded, indicating to log in to the account.

But the shadow of mother's death still hangs over the daily life of father and daughter, allowing the audience to keenly catch a trace of disharmony.

It was already the second day, and the mouse clicked on the two video call requests that were not answered last night. A video dialog box popped up on the side of the WeChat dialog box, showing the scene of my father lying on the table and biting bread.

In addition to cultivating artistic sentiment, in his opinion, his daughter's piano skills have exceeded the ordinary amateur level. Even if her major does not develop well in the future, she can still make a living by giving piano classes.

Generally, Internet broadcasters decide their fate in the first six minutes. After six minutes, they will see whether they can continue to retain the audience and form an effective broadcast, or allow non-members to pay for on-demand viewing after six minutes.

But as the phone and video calls continued, the male protagonist was surprised to find that his daughter Li Yingshan was completely different from the daughter he thought he was.

"Can my daughter answer the phone?"

Because his wife likes piano, his daughter has learned piano since she was a child and her skills are very good. When she got to college, he even found a teacher who had been the principal piano in a symphony orchestra to teach her.

The ringtone requesting a video call kept ringing, but the other party "Shanshan" never got through.

Even the plot is quite smooth.

There is no soundtrack, but the sense of uneasiness spreads rapidly.

"...I don't quite understand what you mean. Li Yingshan stopped coming five months ago. Does she want to come back to class again?"

Zhang Qisheng nodded silently. The first episode of the first season of "Black Mirror" also uses the case of a missing little girl as the introduction and main plot. It is also basically based on the current development level of network technology as the background of the story.

A red light flickered on the bedside table.

While applauding him, he couldn't help but ask himself, does he know his son's classmates and friends?

Don’t understand!

This was originally not an important matter, but if he really encountered the situation of the male protagonist in the movie, he could only call the police and be like a headless chicken, unable to do anything, including his son's classmates, friends, socializing, etc.

He had no grasp at all.

Then the screen switched from the screensaver to the computer camera screen.

There was another moment of silence.

The busy computer desktop transitions into an animated screensaver in a quick clip.

"His daughter lied...there is something hidden." Zhang Qisheng felt even more uneasy and suspenseful.

"She rarely participates in school, class or club activities."

"..."

A strong palpitation and uneasiness arose spontaneously.

"She doesn't talk much..."

【How was the class?】

[She never gave me her friend’s phone number.]

[Don’t bring your mobile phone? Your mobile phone is turned off? You don’t answer the phone?]

"I didn't know she had any other friends."

"It's like this every day, she...is not very gregarious."

During a video call between the father and his daughter while working, the two sides had a dispute. The university the daughter attended was a local school and she was registered at the school. She usually stayed at the school from Monday to Friday and would go home on weekends.

Suddenly a WeChat video call appeared in the upper right corner of the desktop screensaver accompanied by a harsh ringtone.

"You are not a member yet, you need to pay to purchase this film"

There was a long silence.

【Mr. Wang teaches very well!】

What happened next made Zhang Qisheng even more frightened.

As a parent, Zhang Qisheng can better understand this kind of bolt from the blue, and at the same time, there is also a sense of suspense, which is exciting.

Below the animated screensaver displays a simple time consisting of Arabic numerals - 00:17.

Piano lessons cost 600 yuan every 45 minutes, and my daughter received every WeChat transfer.

Zhang Qisheng deliberately asked people not to log in to the company's member account today, but to play the movie as a non-member visitor.

"Impossible, she likes the piano the most..."

Video call request from daughter.

【Have you asked her friends?】

"Well...it depends on how you define friends..."

"She likes to be alone."

"I'm not very familiar with her."

"Does she have friends? I don't know much."

He just wanted to see where the free viewing point for the first episode of DreamWorks' "Black Mirror II" ended.

Zhang Qisheng changed from "interesting" to shock and consternation. In the fast editing of the computer desktop and audio and video dialogue, along with the gradually rising rhythm of the music, the entire plot turned into a more suspenseful and even terrifying atmosphere.

"Hmm... barely, right?"

"Last Friday?"

The father has always been proud of his daughter who is optimistic, generous and has excellent academic performance. After his wife passed away, he became more emotionally accommodating to his daughter, so he agreed despite being slightly dissatisfied.

"You are roommates."

The gorgeous and quiet dynamic light and shadow are repeated on the computer desktop, like the starry sky, with some kind of uneasiness hidden in the silence.

My father started calling again, but the call was not connected either.

The dynamic light and shadow of the animated screensaver seemed to have a hypnotic effect at the previous moment, and the discordant notes suddenly pierced the silence, matching the time of 00:17.

Although the mobile phone could not be seen in the blurry and sleepy computer camera screen, everyone in the viewing room was sure that the mobile phone was vibrating.

As the suspenseful music rose, Zhang Qisheng screamed in his heart, and the text from his younger brother in the WeChat dialog box on his computer desktop shocked him like a Hong Zhong Dalu.

"But Li Yingshan and I rarely talk. In fact, we are not very familiar with each other."

The laptop seems to be a common tool for the male protagonist in both work and life. Through working on the computer desktop, organizing videos, video calls, QQ and WeChat communication, the audience can intuitively see the work of the father and daughter since the death of the mistress of the family.

and life.

[Do you need to turn off your phone when you go to the library to study? Call me back at noon]

"I saw her eating lunch alone in the cafeteria."

"It's a bit like the first episode of "Black Mirror"?" the operations director beside him sighed softly.

The sumptuous meal that he had prepared was put on hold, and my father returned to work and video conferences with colleagues abroad.

After the male protagonist decisively called the police, the police station sent officers to the male protagonist’s home. The police needed the male protagonist to provide as much information as possible about his daughter and her daughter’s life, study and social life. At the same time, the male protagonist also contacted the school, and the school’s

The counselor also provided the phone numbers of classmates.

Just like in the dark night in an infrared lens, my father was lying on his side on the bed, the thin blanket on his body was a little messy, and there was a vague buzzing sound.

In the video conversation, my daughter said that the final exam is coming soon, which is related to the scholarship for this school year, so she plans to not go home after taking piano lessons this weekend, and review with her friends in the library, so that she can study more concentratedly.

The father changed his job, to a foreign company with less busy work and more freedom of work. He was able to spend more time to take care of his daughter. The daughter was also admitted to a university in the local city with excellent academic performance. She was like a fish in water in the university and was the son of the male protagonist.

pride.

When the mouse clicked on the calendar, the words "piano lesson" in the note made the father in the video dialog box feel a little annoyed and relieved.

The male protagonist created an excel sheet to organize and record the information obtained from the video calls of each of his daughter's classmates.

The father sent a message to his daughter on WeChat on his computer.

The male protagonist's heart continued to sink, and he began to talk to his brother in the WeChat dialog box on the desktop, wanting to call the police.

[Maybe she just ran away to play?]

From Shanshan.

The second thought was that my daughter Shanshan was calling her father.

"...But she must have friends, right?"

The sense of uneasiness not only infected Zhang Qisheng and others in front of the screen, but also gradually gnawed at the somewhat anxious father in the desktop video dialog box.

The younger brother tried to comfort the restless male protagonist by saying that he had dealt with his parents running away to play when he was a child.

[If you don’t know her friends, who else does?]

My father manipulated the mouse to open a notepad on the computer desktop, which contained the piano teacher's contact information.

Yes, it's scary.

While the father subconsciously denied the facts in front of him, he used the mouse to scroll through the WeChat history of his daughter and used keywords to search for information related to the piano.

As the piano keys were hit hard, the horror in Zhang Qisheng's heart reached its highest point, and the screen turned into a ghost.

The screen jumped again and returned to the computer desktop.

"But you and Shanshan are friends, right?"

"Twenty minutes!" someone exclaimed.

This movie is obviously free to play for more than six minutes, but twenty minutes is beyond Zhang Qisheng's expectation.

But there is no doubt that this is definitely a very appropriate time. He believes that any viewer who sees this will either pay for on-demand viewing, sign up for membership, or search for pirated resources, and it is absolutely impossible to ignore it.

Even if you don't consider the quality, just look at the attraction of membership conversion or paid on-demand, this is definitely an excellent suspense work and a top online drama.
