In the era when various cloud disks, or the concept of cloud is not very popular, the new word we are most familiar with is download, and now we upload video files ranging from files and photos to dozens of gigabytes. Go to the cloud.
The original English name of the American drama "Uploading the New Life" is Upload. At the end of the first season, it was enough to whet the appetite of the audience. Many viewers finished it in one breath and began to look forward to the second season, only to find that they would have to wait a year.
An episode is less than 30 minutes, and many people finish it in half a day, waiting anxiously.
The VR that appears in the play is nothing new, but since when did people become accustomed to this concept, the movie "Ready Player One" , which was hit in theaters in 2018, contributed greatly.
In addition to VR, in this show, you will also see similar settings in other movies, or in the "Black Mirror" series. For example, people in the real world fall in love with characters (artificial intelligence, robots, etc.) in the virtual world. We can find the corresponding movie "Her" and " Westworld " shortly after the third season ended .
The life scoring mechanism that appeared in the "Black Mirror" series made a woman go to a desperate situation.
There are also settings in the third episode of the first season of "Black Mirror" about the storage and playback of personal memories, which will be seen in this new drama. The question is, since the above stories have similar settings, why should you watch this "Uploading Freshman"? Because the above-mentioned movies and short dramas only involve one of the themes and a new element, and "Uploading New Life" puts all these settings and elements together, and someone should pack and "upload" these elements. . Not only have the settings mentioned just now been upgraded and optimized, but the show also includes a mix of sci-fi, suspense, romance, comedy, crime and other genres, and even more amazing sections.
It feels cluttered but not cluttered, rich, heavy and serious themes are dispelled by a sense of joy.
The most important thing is that it is not far from your real life, and it points directly to thinking about the future. In this virtual and realistic story, you can experience more life. 1 Science fiction to heaven or hell, or to see how much money you have What is the ultimate question of life? It is life and death rising to the philosophical level .
It is human nature to care about whether there is an afterlife and whether people can live forever. What if people can be uploaded to the virtual space after death? Therefore, the Chinese name "Uploading the New Life" has spoiled part of the content.
The male protagonist Nathan died in the first episode. The cause of death was a car accident: he was sitting in a driverless car alone and crashed into an oncoming car. When his girlfriend was not completely dead, he was in a hurry. Upload to the virtual world.
This virtual world is called " Lakeview ", the company's name is Horizen , and their customer service staff are called "Angels", which leads to Nora , the heroine of the film, who wears such glasses (below)
Or this VR (below), where you can go to the virtual world of Lake View Manor and talk to the guests he serves. Of course, anyone in real life can do this, and can come to Lakeview Manor to meet dead relatives and friends.
Nathan started to get used to it from being bored here, because if he doesn't get used to it, he will completely disappear from the world. He needs to pay for his life in this virtual manor, and the people in the virtual world need to come from people in real life. To feed, his girlfriend will pay for it all.
In real life, as long as people open their hands, their thumb and index finger can form a mobile phone interface. In addition to chatting with people at any time, they can also watch movies on the subway.
In the virtual world, Nathan can also get in touch with real life in this way. After all, living people can't always wear VR equipment and come to the lake to talk to him face-to-face. You can understand that communication equipment has opened up the two worlds of yin and yang .
Naturally, there is also the 5-star scoring mechanism we mentioned earlier , which is used to score customer service, and to score each other's satisfaction after dating on the gun artifact.
As long as you can afford the money, the world after your death can really be like paradise, because the view of the manor outside the window is beautiful, and you can adjust the season you like .
Of course, if you have no money, you can only go to the bottom 2G world , what will happen there? It can be said that it is quite dignified and quite abject.
Your spiritual world is also greatly discounted. The books provided are only five-page sample chapters. If you want to read the whole book, you have to pay for it.
Nathan was taken to the 2G world by the "angel" customer service Nora, and he was very shocked. For example, the child in front of him, the traffic displayed on his head was exhausted, and no one charged him, he could only Frozen until next month . Here is an ironic conclusion, whether to go to heaven or hell after death depends on whether you have money or not . 2 Suspense + Crime No matter how advanced science and technology are, it will also lose the ugliness of human nature. What is the doubt? Nathan's death may have another hidden meaning, he may not have died in a car accident, but died of homicide. Autonomous driverless cars have had few problems unless someone changed their settings.
Nathan wasn't the only victim of automated cars, so was his distant cousin, a woman posing as a private detective who was also carried into the sea by automated cars after investigating the case, apparently someone wanted to kill her.
It seems that no matter how advanced science and technology are, it will be defeated before the ugliness of human nature . The person who first suspected this was naturally the "angel" Nora who had a good impression of Nathan.
She found that Nathan's memory had been deleted. This memory was related to a software designed by Nathan, and his partner and girlfriend were suspicious (after all, the two had a one-night stand).
The last set of shots in the first episode gives suspense, Nora is not at the station, but the mouse is running, as if someone is remotely controlling, and the relevant content (probably Nathan's memory) is put into the trash can for deletion.
The partner has not answered Nathan's phone since he arrived in the virtual world; although his girlfriend still maintains her feelings for Nathan, what was her motive for uploading him in such a hurry?
In this way, suspicious pro-partners and lovers, relatives who died in a crash, and the death of software-related personnel have increasingly pointed to the mystery of Nathan's death. Judging from the inexplicably deleted files, all related to this matter. People who are in trouble will be in trouble, and Nora, who is concerned about this matter, will not be able to run away.
When she was at home with Nathan, a guy climbed in through the window. Fortunately, with Nathan's help, the perpetrator was killed in the elevator, and Nora was able to escape. But Nathan's 2G traffic will soon run out.
This perpetrator has appeared before, and even in Nathan's memory, when we saw him in a car accident, this person appeared in front of him; later, in front of Nathan's girlfriend and mother, he took Nathan's source File attempted to be destroyed without success (packaged by Nora).
At Lakeview Manor, the billionaire who lives next door first met and heard Nathan talk about his experience in software, and concluded that he was murdered. Because he felt that what Nathan made was a new invention that turned the world upside down.
3 Comedy: The sadness and absurdity of life are all humorous to ridicule some bad tastes. In the matter of men and women, if people in real life want to have sex with people in the virtual world, they need to wear a sex suit. Go to VR (as shown below).
There are also growing pains. Dylan, a 12-year-old boy who died in the virtual world, was still 12 years old. Six years after his death, his real-life younger brother started dating girls. He looked greedy.
So he hoped that he could be portrayed as an adult, but his family didn't want this. They wanted to have the appearance of a child when he died, so he asked Nathan and his friend Luke to take him to the illegal place and bought one on the black market. Tattoo codes for physical development.
It turned out to be a joke, the female growth code he injected, the adult he is a female body, Dylan, who didn't know the truth, ran into the hall topless, only to find his strange chest after seeing everyone's strange eyes.
Fortunately, Nora can help him recover. The most ironic and absurd scene is that Nathan in the virtual world is going to attend his own funeral, in the form of a glass between relatives and friends who come to mourn. Sadly, the funeral was such a failure that almost no one gave a eulogy for him, including Ingrid, who not only did not mention him, but spent the main line time on the headlines.
Happy things, to give another example, look at Luke's broken hand, which is what he and the Angels customer service can't talk about.
But he grew up in the army, but he never tired of it, reminding him of the happy times in the army when they treated each other. The subtext in this farce actually contains touching moments. If the 2G traffic is used up, it will be frozen. As I said earlier, Nathan consumed the traffic to help Nora out of danger, but Ingrid suddenly appeared and gave Nathan 1G traffic, but Nathan was still frozen, The lights also suddenly went dark, and it seemed that the conspiracy had reached the most critical moment. Nathan freezes on a surprised look because Ingrid said she uploaded herself too, what? Did you hear that right, she died? This is not the case, the story is waiting to see you next year.
