A few days ago, Piao Piao started to illustrate the cartoon version of Black Mirror.
In the past few days, another series has been released. It is said that it has the same effect as "Black Mirror".
There are really many TV dramas with far-reaching significance, but there are really not many as thorough as "Black Mirror", and although each episode of "Black Mirror" appears to be independent, they are mutually exclusive. It is related, and unconsciously forms the Black Mirror universe.
This time, there are only two episodes of the Amway series for everyone, but they have already seen a relationship with each other, and I must want to play a big game again.
"Yin and Yang Demon Realm"
This name is very mysterious. What exactly is the Yin-Yang Demon Realm? It can be said to be any place or a virtual space. If Black Mirror uses black technology to imagine the wonderful world of the future, then the Yin-Yang Demon Realm is a wonderful world in the human heart. , Today, let's talk about the first story "Comedian".
Samir is a principled person, so his talk show is too principled, no swear words, no dirty jokes, no vulgar jokes on the Internet, no jokes about the people around him, as long as he goes on stage, he keeps his mouth shut. It's just the legal provisions, and it's a side ball with politics, resulting in basically silence on the court, let alone applause.
Didi, who performed on the same stage, was full of genitals, and her fans have exceeded 50,000; Joe Downer, who shouted that he killed someone but was safe, also earned a lot of applause in this small theater. His career was in tatters. On this day, Samir, who was drinking cheap beer, met a legend, JC , who suddenly disappeared from the public eye when he was popular .
Samir greeted JC excitedly and inquired about success skills. JC exhaled a cigarette and told him that if he wanted to become famous, he had to make sacrifices. Principle or fame, which is more important? If you don't give up something, then in the end, you can only be a joke in the eyes of others , and you can only succeed if you lose something .
Samir re-entered the stage to continue his political jokes, but the atmosphere under the stage made him abandon his original script, and he began to talk about his girlfriend Lina's dog: CAT , unexpectedly The people in the audience burst into laughter, which became Samir's warmest applause ever on stage. He trot home excitedly, wanting to hug Carter right away.
But after searching the whole room, Carter could not be found. He asked Lina, who was already asleep, and the answer was vague. He suspected that Carter had escaped through the unclosed window. So the next day, he brought Lina's nephew Devin to the Comedy Club: Addis Club again , and posted a few dog-hunting revelations by the way, hoping to find Carter quickly.
Samir, who had regained his confidence the day before, felt that he was not unpopular, so today he started a boring political joke. Even Devin picked up his phone impatiently. Andy , made a joke about German, and asked everyone to give German to applause.
When he got off work, he came home alone and saw Lina drinking with his mentor David, he asked Lina if Devin came home first, but got an unexpected answer, Lina has no nephew at all , her sister Can't bear children, even in the photo of their family, there is no German group photo, this is really a ghost!
Samir returned to the theater and passed by the scene of the car accident. It is said that Joe hit and ran under the eyes of the police. In order to prove his idea, Samir first said German's name on the stage. Everyone didn't laugh. He despised the president, everyone He didn't laugh again, so he turned the limelight and gave Joe a professional compliment, and then gave him a wave of applause, so Joe suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes.
On the way back, the car accident station also disappeared. This time, he confirmed that Joe disappeared, and the car accident station has been restored, but to achieve this disappearance condition, two things must be done : 1. It must be said full name. 2. It must be someone who knows something about Samir (for example, when you make fun of the President of the United States, everyone will not laugh; it is useless to say it by someone who has disappeared).
So Samir began to save the society. He listed all the people he knew from elementary school to college through Facebook, those with tattoos, those who had done bad deeds, those who spoke angry words, or those who said they had done bad things, and wrote them down in the script. On, I am alone every day, the way of heaven is reincarnated, the scum disappears, the world is clean, and over time Samir became famous, his fans exploded, and his performances also exploded every time, but he enjoys the achievement of this invisible scavenger even more. I feel it.
But Jiang Lang will be exhausted , and before he realizes the last person's name has been spoken, and his thinking has dried up suddenly, Samir wants to go to the road to chat, chat with some seemingly vicious people, and try to understand them, but It was soon discovered that this method did not work. The other party may have provided a fake name, or he didn't know the other party well enough. The people in the audience began to boo. It turned out that Samir was not as funny as they thought, so Samir immediately turned his gun and started The two boys under the molestation stage disappeared before the show ended.
When Samir came home, he felt that making the audience happy was never the way to go, so he begged Lina, a lawyer, to tell him the cases he was in charge of, and the names of the plaintiffs and defendants. As a lawyer, of course, he had to have his own professional ethics, so his girlfriend had Rejected, but this angered Samir. He took advantage of the opportunity to mention that his mentor David often came to his house, and he always came when he was performing, but thinking about how bad he was, Lina was very angry and slammed the door and left . .
This evening's performance, let's talk about this mentor with a human face and a beastly heart. Although Lina was angry, she still came to listen to his performance at night. After she finished talking about the mentor, she got warm applause. After the show, Samir wanted to be romantic, about Went to Lina to have a late-night snack and counted the moons. Unexpectedly, Lina said she had to work overtime at night. It turned out that there was no mentor. Lina was no longer a lawyer, but a restaurant waiter. Most of their memories were lost.
Because they are not lawyers, they also did not travel to Paris, and the real purpose of that tour was to save their relationship, that is, now Lina not only became a restaurant waiter, but also broke up with herself and went back to the empty Room, he knew now, that everything he did was one-way and irreversible, and now he was alone .
The lack of family has resulted in a bumper career. There is a comedy group 'Gall Hour' who is coming to the Edith Theater to pick people. He is competing with Didi on the same stage, but the other party only needs one spot, although Didi every time Her speech is all about organs, but she is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person. Didi complained about Samir's rapid rise at first, and took away many of her fans, but he did not forget to encourage each other with him, hoping to win his own through strength competition. glory.
Samir hesitated a bit. Is it fair that he has long achieved success by obliterating others? So many days of guilt also made him unable to eat, did he kill a lot of people unconsciously? JC suddenly appeared in the dressing room and he told Samir that he didn't kill people, these people just disappeared, and JC told him from the beginning that if you want to be famous, you have to sacrifice, don't you? We are now one step away from success .
Samir tightly held the microphone that Didi handed him. The 'Gall Moment' was watching him from the audience. The applause for Didi didn't stop. Samir glanced at him and cheered him in the background. Didi, who gritted his teeth, said loudly with the people in the audience: Please give Didi a warm applause again and thank her for her excellent performance. He knew that from this moment on, Edith had no Didi, and there would be no Didi on this earth .
Since then, Samir has started a smooth sailing career in acting. He knows more people and has more material. He sweats profusely on the stage, and the audience laughs back and forth under the stage. He is the representative of the talk show. He's a walking joke machine, but Samir knows that he can't be witty, he can't be vulgar, he'll just use one familiar person after another to get the ladder to success.
Until one day, her ex-girlfriend appeared in the theater, and she accidentally saw Samir's notebook , a notebook full of names and sins. Although she did not know these names, she knew that Samir was right They sneered and stepped on their shoulders to perform, and the ex-girlfriend was half right, only Samir knew that these once-familiar faces were no longer there.
Samir took a deep breath. Today, he would like to introduce a person who has been with him for a long time and has known each other for a long time. This person is himself Samir Wasan . He is an incompetent talk show actor. With his girlfriend's money to pay the rent, he can't tell jokes, he is not a talk show actor at all, he is the person who should disappear from the world the most.
The audience couldn't stop laughing. Even the ex-girlfriend laughed. Everyone stood up and applauded for Samir, but they couldn't see it. There was no one on the stage, only the microphone that fell on the ground was left. .
In Edith's bar, Lina and her nephew were packing their packages. Everyone was appreciating that Didi's performance was really good today, and Didi met JC, who had disappeared for a long time, and JC secretly told her a successful performance. secret. In this world, Lina is still a lawyer, and Lina's nephew and dog have returned, but without Samir, Samir, who was a smash hit, was not even remembered by anyone in the end.
The film tells the story of a talk show actor who went from obscurity to becoming a smash hit, but he also experienced turning against his girlfriend, breaking up with friends, and finally standing at the pinnacle of success. No one shared his joy and his distress. No one knew that he had to stand on the stage to release himself. In order to become famous, no matter whether he was a good person or a bad person, he became a person who disappeared from his mouth. He was completely led by the audience, and he was no longer the principled, not vulgar person he used to be. , The young man who stopped making fun of his relatives and friends. The talk show he wanted at the beginning has been washed away by this feast of fame and fortune. Is he considered a success? In the eyes of others, he is really successful, but what about himself?
What is success? There are many definitions of success. Different people understand success differently. An actor winning an Oscar is success; an internet celebrity seeing millions of fans is success; a researcher’s experiment is a success; getting a wife and having children is success; making money Buying a big house is a success. The goal of success can be big or small, it can be beyond the sky, or it can be realistic.
Does success really require so much effort and sacrifice? But every kind of success is not achieved overnight. We often don’t see the sacrifices behind it. Actors have to spend time trying to figure out movie roles, performing them over and over again, and even staying up all night, just to create an impressive role; an internet celebrity wants to become popular every day without losing fans, he must constantly find jokes, gain attention, and give himself exposure opportunities, fear being abandoned by fans every day, and live a life of fear; In the research project, a project needs to be successful for several years, or even decades. People have already talked about getting married, but they are still single in the end; even if they are raising a family to earn some money, they will face overtime work day and night, and they may lose the time to reunite with their families. In short, everything in the world is not that simple. success.
Who is JC, you can think he is a devil, he tells you everything you want, and it also stimulates the desire in your heart, so you decide to follow in his footsteps and fall into your own greed step by step. It's up to you to find your own way to prove success.
