Chapter 375

"You used to work at Google?"

After filming today's scene, Ding Cheng chatted with the director, only to find out that this young man was once an employee of an Internet giant?
“I was inspired by working in the advertising department,” Anish laughs. “I’ve always been interested in telling original, emotional or scary stories in ways people didn’t expect, which led me to bring technology to life. Use it as a medium to tell a story."

"Hitchcock once said that the essence of movies is voyeurism. Everyone loves voyeurism. This is our nature."

"For example, his classic work Rear Window is a very typical voyeuristic story. And desktop movies are undoubtedly a new variant of this genre. It is just that with the development of Internet applications, it replaces the viewer's perspective of voyeurism, from telephoto lenses and telescopes. , evolved into personal social software and miniature cameras.”

Ding Cheng likes chatting with this young man very much, and he can always get a lot of wonderful ideas from him, which is simply not available to his peers in China.

Today, when communication between people is increasingly dependent on social software, computers and mobile phones not only take over our daily life, but also silently record the trajectory of life, and even hide the lead to another truth, or another self entrance.

In this kind of movie with a voyeuristic perspective, the audience's voyeuristic desire and moral sense need to be satisfied at the same time. The method adopted in the "Unfriending" series is to let the protagonists being peeped bear their own original sins, put the viewers in a high moral position, and dispel the injustice of their own voyeurism from the perspective of judgment.

At this point, the angle of entry chosen by the network mystery track is more clever.

"In the latest survey of our National Network Security Company, 55% of parents have indeed snooped on their children's privacy, which is the biggest selling point of their opinion."

Anish said: "Parents in the Internet age feel that it is normal to go to their children's homepage to see what they are up to. They do this to avoid embarrassment when chatting with their children. This is what they can do. The only way to understand a child's life."

Ding Cheng appreciates this kind of market positioning, which undoubtedly can make most audiences who are parents empathize. Even for Chinese audiences who are not good at expressing emotions directly in intimate relationships, the proportion of this part of psychological identification may be even higher. high.

Especially the dialog boxes that appear frequently in the film, it seems that there are too many dramas to steal the spotlight, but who has never experienced it?

Those moments where a heart turns a thousand times, a thought is pondered, a reply is written and deleted, and finally only a simple sentence is you okay?

The most frequent sound of typing on the keyboard becomes a killer tool to heighten the atmosphere and create emotions, and the movement of the cursor guides the audience's thoughts: Look, there seems to be something tricky in this picture...

With these details, even if the plot is reversed and reversed again, the audience will not feel abrupt.

Because we ourselves live in the screen, for modern people who face computers, mobile phones, and billboards every day, these electronic images that carry emotions and meanings are all too familiar.

Ding Cheng looked at the editors next to him who were always working hard. There were originally only two editors, but after his own investment, he recruited five more. Even if they all work together, they still have to work overtime and stay up late every day.

This is the most relaxing movie I have ever filmed. As the leading actor, all the scenes were completed in ten days!
The rest is all kinds of information, such as news website headlines, trending videos, message conversations and email exchanges between the protagonist and other people.

Every line of text that appeared in the film was not randomly placed. The two screenwriters wrote a full four to five hundred pages of extras to establish the world of this film.

There are hundreds of social network friends, but no one is willing to have lunch with you in reality;

The daughter you thought was intimate has actually embarked on an unexpected life trajectory;

Your trusted partner actually lied to you from the very beginning...

It seems to reflect the result of the Internet's intrusion into life: online and offline information asymmetry, personality inconsistency, and various online violence; piles of family and friendship that seem to be intimate are slowly emitting a rancid smell and becoming fragile Unbearable.

The live broadcast, keyboard man, and Internet fraud are the heroes who pushed the movie to a climax step by step.

Of course, the director's intention is not to criticize blindly, but to reflect: Has network technology changed human nature, or magnified human nature?
With the development of the plot, the audience finds out that the search saves people and then hurts them, and the harmed people saves people...

Attitudes towards the Internet have also fluctuated with reversal after reversal.

People who swear anonymously online may not necessarily be big mouths who gossip behind their backs in real life.Behind the Internet fraud, there must be greedy faces.

The moral ethics established by people for thousands of years collapsed instantly in the computer network, which does not mean that the network is false, but that this ethical outline may not always be as real as imagined.

Although the film is finished, Ding Cheng likes this role very much. He is far less awesome than the heroes he played before, but as an ordinary person, he also has the determination and ability to save his relatives.

The father of a Chinese single engineer, after his wife died of illness many years ago, his daughter became his spiritual sustenance.Behind this strong man, through the live broadcast of the most real anxiety in his daughter's disappearance, he vividly touched the hearts of the audience.

In addition to sympathy, emotional resonance catalyzes real power.In fact, apart from anxiety, the male protagonist always has great faith in his daughter's life, and his persistent use of big data on the Internet gave him another opportunity to explore the spiritual life of his relatives.

During the period, I saw the girl's bewilderment and confusion, the estrangement from herself, and the longing for freedom, but the persistence based on belief was overwhelmed by the cold ending time and time again.

When the female villain told her daughter that she was dead, she saw the desperate despair through the camera.The father under heavy pressure did not forget to study the clues meticulously, coupled with the layers of social media, and finally let his daughter die and give birth. This family finally ended with a relatively happy ending.

But behind the girl's rescue lies another tragedy, that is, the lack of education for children in single-parent families.The high divorce rate in the UK has not only granted the freedom of parents, but also changed the growth trajectory of children.

Years of emotional estrangement between father and daughter has deepened the daughter's evasion of reality and dependence on the Internet. The policewoman's doting on her son even connives at his murder.

Chatting with Liu Mengyun during this time, I deeply understand the pressure from Chinese families.In the new wave of immigration, the Asian population accounts for a large proportion, and under the ecology dominated by Western liberalism, the impact of multiculturalism is particularly obvious in many Asian families.

Including the innovation of education, the reconstruction of family affection and the integration of lifestyle...

For an Asian family with the core concept of seniority and inferiority, it is hard to imagine how difficult it is to survive and maintain in a complex and diverse new background.

Can't help but sigh,

It’s not easy to live anywhere!
