Do you find reality boring?

A new drama is launched, opening up the brain hole again, and taking you into the imaginary world of Tianma Action!

In the future, scientific and technological progress will create infinite possibilities.

You can walk into the photos.

You can walk into the game.

Even, you can walk into the movie.

What other surprises did it have that we didn't expect?

Come, let's walk into this quasi-divine drama together-

"Black Mirror" Season 7

Seriously, Pai Ye hasn't seen this kind of pomp and circumstance for a long time:

A new drama is launched, and it can also swipe the circle of friends.

Why is it?

Refreshing creativity, and, exhaustive execution.

Let's start with the third episode with the best word-of-mouth.

The vitality of the character

A major film studio is on the verge of crisis, and their ancestors have been in the limelight, and they once relied on the black and white film "Dream Hotel" to harvest box office and word of mouth.

That was 50 years ago.

如今難以為繼，老 IP 還能否續命？

Professional managers have to come up with clever tricks.

Re-enactment of the classics, first-line male movie stars can't afford to be invited.

As it happens, actress Brandi Frieddie is tired of the assembly line work that matches the male number one.

The two hit it off.

In order to be successful in the audition, Brandi read the script by heart, but missed an important USB flash drive, and when she arrived on the set, she was simply stunned by the "shooting form"-

Real-time production.

The "Old Dream Reborn" series is used, which has a self-sufficient virtual space that contains everything from old movies, and actors can enter the movie world as specific characters after wearing synaptic virtual interfaces.

The characters in the film will also fully accept her.

What Brandi has to do is to complete the role according to the script, and successfully finish the lines of the last scene, and then trigger the ending credits to leave, otherwise, her consciousness will stay in the movie, and her body may die.

This is similar to the basic logic of "can't change history" in the traversal play.

In the movie, the heroine Clara · Rice has a routine of love and ordinary life, she is the heiress and has a meeting with Alex at a banquet. Dr. Palmer has a forbidden love affair while her husband is plotting to kill her......

It was Arex who Brandy was going to play.

At first, she can still follow the script, but in the key scenes, she messes up, she can't have the same wonderful piano skills as the doctor in the original film, and uses this to hit Clara's lonely heartstrings.

Clara can't be tempted by the female version of the doctor, Barbie Q?

In a panic, Brandi called out the real name of the actor for the role of Clara.

Do-Ly-the-West!

The story line is getting more and more off.

But the wonderful thing is that this touched Clara, but as a "character", she can only be ignorant and calm, but she also begins to look at the female version of the doctor differently.

Here we need to look at the life of actor Dorothy, because she fell in love with a woman in the crew, which led to scandals and finally died of depression.

The female version of the doctor calls her by her real name, inadvertently awakening her sense of autonomy.

Next, Clara's move also deviates from the script.

The two fell in love in a new way, and the emotional interaction was more provocative than the original film.

But then, tragedy unfolded again: in reality, the staff unintentionally spilled coffee, causing the system to fail; In the movie, only Clara and the female version of the doctor are still "alive", and everyone else is reduced to a background board.

Film, free from the gravitational pull of the system and reality.

character, with a new life.

Actor Brandi tells the character Clara about her true identity, the real experience of actor Dorothy.

And in getting along day after day, the two characters also fall in love with each other because of their charm.

Moreover, they broke through the original plot framework and gave the old IP a new era with a more twisty, twisty and touching plot.

The end of the story is the finishing touch, when the big factory sends Brandi a USB stick and an old-fashioned phone, and she watches Dorothy's audition tidbits, and when she tries to answer the phone, it actually works.

This episode is not only deeply moving, but also has an extremely rich space for interpretation-

From Brandi's point of view, she is very proactive and wants to change the identity of the vase with her efforts, and after entering the play, she and Clara are truly in love, and the drama is one.

From Clara's point of view, true love awakens her autonomy, and she is no longer a stereotyped, protected image of a vulnerable woman; In addition, she briefly gains her true identity and recalls her life moments as an actress Dorothy, which in turn outlines the fate of women who are bright by the times, both reflective and contemporary.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Haolu, the director of "Daydream Hotel", is a Chinese director who tells a moving love story from a delicate and in-depth female perspective, and a female legend that shines with a breakthrough spirit everywhere.

Membership-based life

The first episode of the seventh season is also highly discussed.

The concept in this soft science fiction story, we are not too familiar with it, it can be seen everywhere in life.

丈夫邁克跟妻子阿曼達生活不算富裕，但安貧樂道，6 月 5 日是他們的結婚紀念日，到了這一天，他們會放下所有事，驅車去杜松旅館、聽音樂，一起吃杜松烤肉漢堡。

However, there are good and bad things in people.

Amanda had a tumor in her brain, and the existing medical technology could not be used, so the doctor reluctantly recommended an experimental therapy from Hesi Technology.

The specific method sounds unbelievable, but it can be summarized simply: they will copy the damaged part of the patient's cranial nerve structure as a backup, then remove the tumor and surrounding tissue, replace the excised part with synthetic tissue, and then transmit her cognitive function through the Hesi system cloud server.

The good news is that the surgery is free.

The bad news is that to subscribe to the Hesi system, it costs $300 per month.

In order to save his wife, Mike agreed without hesitation.

But he has to keep increasing his schedule to maintain his current quality of life, and he is not afraid of the hardships and tiredness, because the technology will always be flawed.

On the next wedding anniversary, Mike takes Amanda to the Juniper Hotel, and although the days are tight, he still wants to ensure a sense of ceremony; Amanda was a little unhappy: "The days are over? ”

Between the two arguing, Amanda suddenly rolled her eyes.

技術出 bug?

No.

To be precise, the signal coverage of the servers of the Hesi system is limited.

If you want to travel long distances, you can, but you need to upgrade your system to RivermindPlus for an extra $500 per month.

The couple refused, and it was not impossible for the "ordinary version" to make do with it.

However, the good times did not last long, and Amanda suddenly became a "human flesh advertising machine".

From time to time, she will enter the AI state and recite advertising slogans, which interestingly match the life scene.

In desperation, Mike decides to upgrade the system for Amanda.

The price is that he has to sneak up on an evil website at night, do some weird challenges, and get "crowdfunding" from good deeds.

There are escalations to this challenge, from drinking urine, to pinching your tongue with a mousetrap, and so on.

But then there was another situation: Amanda became very lethargic.

For what reason?

She seems to have become part of the server, and she wants to return to the Hesi system.

What can be done to improve this situation?

Oh, go ahead and upgrade to the ultra-premium version, which has the luxurious name "Rivermind Lux".

At this membership level, users can be targeted to enhance certain aspects of function, such as athleticism, comfort, and so on.

However, the price has also skyrocketed, and it costs an additional 1000 yuan per month.

If you find it too expensive, you can also choose from a different subscription model, which can be a full-time plan or a temporary auxiliary version.

Are these familiar to you?

Member, Super Member, Advanced On-Demand......

The story ends brutally, with the onlookers of the evil game raising the bar, Mike removing his mask and being fired for fighting with a colleague.

Eventually, he had to do terrible things to his wife......

Throughout the content of the seventh season, this episode is the most "Black Mirror", the story has a big brain hole, and it leads to a dark and absurd ending.

The abruptness of the drama

"Black Mirror" is a legendary series with a good reputation and high popularity.

Season 1, 4.0 points; Season 2, 0.0 points; Season 3, 0.0 points; Season 4, 0.0 points.

The quality of Seasons 5 and 6 has slipped by 1.0 and 0.0 respectively.

As of now, the Douban score of the seventh season of "Black Mirror" has risen from 8.0 to 0.0 points, and the discussion of each story is also very high, and it has once again achieved a double victory in word-of-mouth and ratings.

How did this drama break through?

It once again conquered the audience with creativity, not only showing the double-edged sword background of technology, but also adjusting the direction of content.

The allegorical overtones of the story are still strong.

The first episode is about people who rely on technology and have to be kidnapped by it; The sixth episode uses the game world to present the surging autonomy and revolution of AI.

At the same time, "Black Mirror" is also exploring a new creative path, jumping out of the narrative framework of allegory.

Especially in the third episode, technology is just a tool, it wants to talk about more contemporary women's emotions and awakening culture, trying to move people with emotion.

It also ensures the ambiguity of the text, from which you can get your own interpretation, such as the different appearances of metafilms, the possibility of media self-reflexivity, and so on.

The same is true in the fifth episode, where the core of the story is, to what extent will people selectively ignore or even make up information that is beneficial to them in the face of memory?

This shift is also a double-edged sword.

It is difficult for us to see such an absurd and reasonable plot as "the two or three things between the prime minister and the pig", and it is difficult to feel the shock of technological alienation and media violence under the extreme story direction.

At the same time, we have another expectation of watching "Black Mirror" -

How does it summarize the current dilemma of the times, about emotions, about human nature through a creative story?

In fact, as long as this drama can still present extraordinary brain holes and solid plots, it is enough to conquer the audience.

Think about the content delivery landscape today.

The vast majority of films, how mediocre are they in terms of story?

As for the short drama, after stimulating the audience's curiosity, it is difficult to really hit people's hearts intellectually and emotionally.

We can also continue to wait and see.

But no other form of art can touch our nerves.

Then "Black Mirror" may be "gods" again and again.
