China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 431 This is simply a show off

The literature seems to be displeased with the plainness of mountains, and the same is true in movies.

In Zhang Qisheng's view, this is the biggest difference between online dramas and online dramas. Online dramas need a faster pace and are constantly exciting, and it is worth sacrificing rationality and even logic for this.

It is a simple and crude way for the audience to watch it in one go.

At present, the average viewing time on the Internet is only 20 minutes, and many viewers even watch at 1.5x or 2x speed. Both viewing time and double-speed playback will allow the platform to get corresponding data feedback.

Therefore, most online majors, including Zhang Qisheng’s West Bridge Culture, receive most of the box office split based on effective on-demand viewing. However, large platforms like Huanshi.com also split the split based on duration. The longer the audience watches, the higher the split ratio.

high.

Therefore, it is difficult for them to obtain many sub-accounts.

The first episode of "Black Mirror II" definitely surpasses most of the works of the Internet. From the 20 minutes of free time, it can be seen that this series of "Black Mirror II" produced by DreamWorks is definitely signed by the Fantasy Network.

Established a bill-sharing plan based on viewing time.

This cycle of reversals and ups and downs can be regarded as a model of low-cost movies, and it can also be regarded as first-rate in suspense thriller movies.

When a work like this is shown on the Internet, it really stands out from the crowd.

Zhang Qisheng continued to follow the tense plot while sighing in his heart. The male protagonist once again used an amazing human flesh search to find the phone number of this unknown stock photo model.

In any case, even if it is a little different from the first season of "Black Mirror", it can definitely live up to the signature of "Black Mirror", which is avant-garde, reflection on modern technology and imaginative presentation.

This was the first thought that came to Zhang Qisheng's mind.

Although he had a premonition, Zhang Qisheng was still amazed by the search process and the final result of the male protagonist.

Although it is different from the "kidnapping and ransom video" in the first episode of the first season of "Black Mirror" and does not play such an important role, it is still a false shot and leads to the final twist.

"Sorry, I didn't understand...what is Weiqu Live Broadcast?"

Zhang Qisheng watched the unsurprising ending with ups and downs in his heart.

Until Li Yingshan transferred all the money she had saved for "piano lessons" to him so that he could pay for her mother's medical expenses, he was disturbed by his conscience and followed Li Yingshan to Sheshan where she often went to relax alone at night, preparing to tell her the truth and confess her love.

But the two had a dispute, and then he accidentally pushed Li Yingshan down.

After a dizzying search, the male protagonist finally found this person's case.

The story of "Black Mirror II" can only be said to be a relatively complete and logically rigorous reasoning story.

In fact, there are many suspenseful film and television dramas with endless twists and turns. Compared with other suspenseful works in film history, the first episode of "Black Mirror II" is not particularly complicated and novel.

"Uh-what police?"

"The process was very Black Mirror-like, but the final ending was a bit not Black Mirror-worthy."

There is something wrong with the female police officer in charge of the investigation.

The man in the photo committed a rape thirteen years ago and was subsequently sentenced to seven years in prison.

Although he has no beard, looks very young, and the photo is quite blurry, it is obvious that the facial features and face shape of the two are similar, and they should be the same person.

This is a feeling shared by many people.

Only the ending is truly satisfactory, which in a way makes the brand image of "Black Mirror" a little bit cliché.

From the birth of film and television to today, there has never been a film and television production without a camera or the participation of a lens, even if it is a handheld DV.

The profile picture was something he found randomly on the Internet.

Movies and TV series are made.

"Is this Officer Chen Minchen? She came to see you two days ago, and then you said..."

"This is a relatively rigorous detective script. If such a script were shot according to normal movie standards, it would be enough to go to theaters. Why should it be made into an online movie?

The reason why DreamWorks is not a pity is because the cost of this movie is low enough. It is all on a computer desktop and does not even need a professional camera. How much did this episode cost? One and a half million, right?

Nowadays most of the Internet basically does not have such low-cost production, but can we do it?"

The activities on the electronic screen allowed him to enter the character's behavior and reflect unprecedented psychological movements.

But every step was seen through. In the end, Chen Min pushed out the ex-convict of a rape case he had handled, creating the so-called "confession video" and "suicide out of fear of crime."

As a film and television practitioner, everyone can clearly see that this episode of "Black Mirror II" was not shot with a camera from beginning to end.

This photo is a group photo of many people, and it comes from a propaganda news item in a prison that organizes study sessions for inmates.

The whole place was silent, no one responded.

This is quite a show off!

And no one felt out of place.

"Are you a student at Shanghai University? In addition to being a model, do you also work as a waiter in a fast food restaurant? Because you told the police that you worked in a fast food restaurant last Friday night!"

"You have been chatting with my daughter on the Weiqu live broadcast platform for several months, and your username is 'Fish and Chips'! You also said that your mother is hospitalized..."

Moreover, the characters do not have much screen time, and they basically appear in front of the audience through video calls.

The computer desktop is the stage of the entire film. The mouse cursor and text input are the protagonists, and their dazzling operations are the protagonist's expressions and movements, which are the real performances.

At a loss, he had no choice but to ask his mother, Chen Min, a police officer, for help. Chen Min, who loved her son so much, decided to disguise everything as an accident, took the initiative to take the male protagonist's case, and guided the male protagonist step by step towards her carefully designed...

Each one is misleading.

Just because of this avant-garde, avant-garde, and "shooting" format that no one has done before, it is comparable to "Black Mirror".

It's such an outrageous format but it completely tells an excellent story with twists and turns, suspense and even a thriller atmosphere.

If it's complicated, Chen Jingxing's "The Night the Comet Came" and "Fatal Identity" are undoubtedly stunning in setting, both in terms of wonderful process and imaginative results.

But this episode is indeed amazing. The viewing experience is like mercury falling. Even if the final result and the real culprit are revealed, it is not that unexpected, and it is not mind-boggling, but this does not make the amazingness fade.

But the amazing thing is that he can describe the inner activities of the character from the direction of mouse movement, speed, pulling, hesitation of clicking, feeling the status of the character, changing, deleting, sending or not sending after text input.

But he never expected that DreamWorks' original creativity only existed in scripts and stories, but now it even started to use "shooting" methods and image presentation methods to expand its imagination.

Indeed, this unprecedented video, which is entirely presented on a computer desktop, is simply outrageous and novel to the extreme.

This should... never be reversed, right?

In this way, three days after the male protagonist reported the crime, he was finally rescued, and the father and daughter were reunited.

Although the hero's daughter rolled from the mountain to the foot of a tree, with a broken leg and serious injuries, she did not die. She woke up after being in a coma for a day, and survived by relying on the water next to the tree.

.

In this form, a thrilling suspenseful story is smoothly deduced, and it also reflects a certain absurdity in the modern Internet era in disguise, closely following the theme of "Black Mirror".

"I'm sorry, you dialed the wrong number. No police have come to see me..."

"I'm sorry, did you call the wrong number? I'm a model, not an agent. I can provide you with my agent..."

By comparing the time, it was finally found that the investigator of the rape case was the female police officer in charge of the missing case of the hero's daughter - Chen Min.

Chen Min, the son of a female police officer, is a loyal fan of the male protagonist’s daughter’s live broadcast of “fish and chips”.

"However, we must also consider that this is an online movie of more than 90 minutes. From a commercial perspective, it must be shot this way to achieve a greater box office." Zhang Qisheng does not think there is anything wrong with this film.

This time there were not so many messages popping up, but pictures of men with different looks and the same unshaven appearance popping up.

There was nothing unexpected about this ending. After the entire film was played, Zhang Qisheng and a group of executives did not leave the viewing room, but restarted the play and conducted comments and discussions during the second play.

Just from the story point of view, it is excellent, but it is not amazing.

He has always had a crush on the hero's daughter, Li Yingshan, and accidentally discovered that Li Yingshan was doing a live broadcast on the live broadcast platform, so he made up a female account. Based on his understanding of Li Yingshan's experience, he made up a tragic experience that made Li Yingshan empathize, and defrauded her of it.

gained favor and trust.

Let the audience follow the rhythm of the plot and move their perspective between computer screens, surveillance videos, and mobile phone cameras to capture the emotional changes of the characters through various details.

The mouse slid down and stopped on the face of a young male without a beard.

"Hello, I am contacting you because of my daughter Li Yingshan. You have chatted with her online..."

Zhang Qisheng sighed secretly, DreamWorks is not easy to learn, and what makes it difficult for other companies to follow suit is actually creativity.

The mouse clicked on the "confession video" again and clicked pause. The male protagonist cut out the head portrait of the unshaven middle-aged man in the "confession video" and conducted an image search again.

It may indeed weaken the theme of "Black Mirror" to a certain extent, but for the sake of box office, there is nothing that cannot be compromised. Moreover, this compromise is not fatal and will not really damage its quality.

Because the narrative mode of this movie is so novel, the entire process is presented from the perspective of electronic screens such as mobile phones or computers.

"But there is nothing to learn from this film, and there is no way to learn it."

Most of the time it is the seemingly boring desktop, files, pop-up windows, web pages, mouse cursor movement, overlay, opening, and closing.

All are screen recordings or screenshots operated on the computer desktop, and then these materials are edited together.

As Zhang Qisheng's right-hand man, the operations director agreed with the boss's words, but also dared to express his own opinions.

The failure of the original high expectations for the "confession video" was all made up for by the successive surprises that followed.

So cool!

Moreover, the theme presented in it is also very sharp, thought-provoking, and has a kind of absurd irony.

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, he can get such a logically rigorous and highly complete character reasoning script, but can he film it at a cost of one or two million?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Zhang Qisheng doesn't need to watch the on-demand data for the first episode of "Black Mirror II" to confirm that it will definitely make people a lot of money, and the return rate will be 80% so high that it is difficult to rival, and it will be the most popular film on the Internet.

Who can produce such an imaginative story at such a low cost?

What to learn? Can this be learned?
