Editor's note: For science fiction fans, the most important thing on New Year's Day these days is the launch of the fourth season of "Black Mirror".
This dark and cold sci-fi drama is the opening drama of the new year. I always feel that it shouldn’t be the scene. However, after staying up late to watch it, I feel that it doesn’t matter: from now on in your life, there is another one suitable for holidays. Just shout WTF fast food with popcorn. U.S. drama.
We decided to write this review in the tone of the "Black Mirror" producer AI (of course, also assuming that the production team of this season "Black Mirror" is an AI), based on the following considerations: Will the data create a perfect boyfriend with a 99.8% match in "Black Mirror", but we know that big data will create a "Black Mirror" like this — it’s like an AI that puts countless popular concepts , Old stalks and hot events make up a dish of black technology, eat a bite, bugs fly all over the sky, mouth full of glass ballast. Set up a filter, choose a template, and accurately locate the urban population who like to advertise themselves as "brain-burning".
This cracked black mirror no longer slashed the sharp edge of high-tech authority with a smile, but was used to smother the audience's mouth. *Slight spoiler warning ahead
Ladies and gentlemen, Netflix shareholders, hello everyone, I am the AI producer of the new season of "Black Mirror".
The introduction content of this roadshow is the creative concept of the fourth season of "Black Mirror". Next, I will show the plot summary and creative source of each episode one by one. Please turn off your smartphone and give it to the Alpha Dog next to you. Thank you for your cooperation.
s04e01 "Calliste"

What's wrong with liking "Star Trek"
"Power is a man's aphrodisiac", the person who said this has been in control of American politics for more than half a century. Combining the creed pursued by straight men with the current immersive VR technology, we used the first episode to create a paradise that men love so much:
In the natal science fiction drama always act as the leading role + God.
Drawing nourishment from classic sci-fi works is the traditional strength of "Black Mirror". First of all, we pay tribute (in short, just copy) the famous scenes in "Star Trek", such as kissing the colored people, the red shirts dying first, and the universal peace and friendship.
At the same time, in "Star Wars", the Force locks his throat and the Storm Soldier's head is knocked on the door. We also follow the principle of ethics.
The core concept of this episode follows the highly acclaimed setting in the 2014 "Black Mirror" Christmas Special: Does AI consciousness have human rights?
You must be worried about whether this setting will collide with "Western World", of course we won't do that. You will see a layered and colorful narrative structure: in the world you love most, whether you become a tyrant or a hero, it is an irresistible temptation for men.
Of course, as the opening drama, this episode is indispensable for our core audience. Programmers, dead sci-fi houses, and social phobias will get a special peak experience. After all, all product managers owe programmers an apology.
s04e02 "Archangel"

Mom has a long telescope
The growth of children is always the most concerned topic of all parents. The results of the data indicate that most viewers of "Black Mirror" disagree with traditional family ethics, and the rebellious psychology of excessive protection of parents has become the main course of this episode:
A doting mother installed a real-time surveillance camera for her daughter.
In addition to the third episode of the first season, "Your Life", this episode will also have an interesting intertextuality with the third episode of the third season, "Dance of Dolls"-you guessed it, every third episode, we will discuss privacy The problem. Privacy is part of human nature. In the information society, without privacy, one cannot be a complete person.
As for the transmission speed of visual signals and the 24h live retina camera, the answer has been given in the third episode of the first season-we can't explain it, just say that it is in the near future. Those who are entangled in technical details are not our target audience.
In this episode, we invited Judy Foster, the goddess of Hollywood 20 years ago, to direct. After "House of Cards" was hung up, her schedule was freed up a lot, and the goddess itself has LGBT group-friendly attributes, which allows us to make another wave of hot spots among the Baizuo audience.
s04e03 "Crocodile"

New Scottish Traffic Law Promotional Video
"Requiem of Dreams", which is just as famous in film history, is an anti-drug education film. The psychological thriller "The Machinist" (The Machinist, 2004) is an excellent film attacking hit and run. The crew of "Black Mirror" also has this Social responsibility:
The story in this episode shows the whole process of a driver who caused the accident to die by tricks.
After the large-scale generalization of the camera surveillance culture, we educate everyone with clear and bloody facts-the driver takes a sip of wine and the relatives cry for two.
In addition, since the tide of immigration has become a rotten theme in all overhead movies, "Black Mirror" silently added the key words to the theme this time, creating a beautiful post-immigrant era Scotland.
Shareholders can rest assured that the crime must be self-willing white people. We will educate the audience (mainly white people, Asians are pirated, not our target audience), while sticking to the bottom line of political correctness.
As for the most interesting aspect of this story, and the breakthrough in the incident, it actually comes from the word that everyone here loves to hear: porn. The gentleman in the second row, don't shake your head. You paid to watch one at the hotel last Tuesday. Would you like me to adjust the bill for you?
Oh, you are asking what does this episode have to do with science fiction? We equipped insurance companies and police stations with memory extractors (which can be used by both humans and animals) for investigating accidents, and forced them into the law, so that the protagonist had to expose flaws.
Some viewers may use "rodents with poor eyesight" as an excuse and believe that there is a bug in the verification logic of this episode, and these people are not our target audience.
s04e04 "DJ Step Down"
Also known as
The following male guest is recommended by True Love
Since the beginning of Shakespeare's drama, love that breaks through taboos has always been an enduring issue of literary works. The success of the topic movie "Lobster" has made "Black Mirror" stand in the new technological environment to think about gender issues:
In a world where couples are forced to love and get married, another young couple who elopes has ushered in.
In view of the fact that the first episode has already complained about the virtual characters in the Disney animation that have no sex, this episode decided to present the sex scenes with R-rated movie screens. The actress casting has been confirmed, and we are discussing whether the resolution version of the special frame needs to be purchased separately.
In terms of high-level concepts, from the ultimate social fantasy in "The World of Truman" to the night shift male spring dreams in "The Supermarket Sleepless", this episode aims to contrast the extreme openness of sex with the emptiness of love, violently poke the isolation of contemporary urban individuals, Pain points of fasting sex.
Finally, we have talked to Sigur Rós about using their music. After putting such a song at the end of the film, according to statistics, 99.8% of the literary youth will be incited to cry.
s04e05 "Iron Head"
Also known as
"Radiation" peripheral products 40-minute promotional video
When creating this episode, our screenwriter went on strike and took two months of paid leave to play "Fallout 4" at home. So the story you see will resemble a black-and-white version of "Wasteland Scavengers".
As for the plot, when did the "Fallout" series have a plot?
Black and white photography style requires a lot of special photography skills. However, in order to reduce the cost of shooting, we did not adopt special black and white digital photography. Anyway, the highly acclaimed black and white version of Wolverine 3 is just a filter effect.
Some movie fans may think that the film uses black and white images but no black and white photography method, it's okay, they are not our target audience.
In this episode, we have arranged a considerable amount of car advertising placement space, I believe there will be good advertising revenue. At the same time, the bionic robot dog and teddy bear toys should also have good sales. We have already placed orders for Boston Dynamics and the factories in Yiwu, China.
When shareholders pay dividends in the 2017 fiscal year, please remember the "Black Mirror" team silently dedicated to you.
s04e06 "Black Museum"
Also known as
The baby gorilla wants to hug
Since the third season, "Black Mirror" has tried to make the last episode of each season into a TV movie, so as to adapt to the audiences inviting three or five friends on weekends to put popcorn, spicy strips and family in front of the curved digital TV. The demand for installing Coke and watching a movie that keeps people calling out WTF.
At the same time, adhering to the tradition of the Christmas special, the sixth episode of the fourth season of "Black Mirror" guarantees the richness of the plot-three stories are parallel, telling the hidden evil (hei) of the curator of a cult museum ( li) Taste (shi):
If the memory can be transplanted, I put the brains of the critically ill relatives in other containers (such as cute orangutan dolls), would he be happy?
This kind of arrangement seems to be a screenwriter at all costs, but it is actually a repetitive idea that can be mass-produced. The cores have been changed from the Soviet science fiction novel "Professor Tawwell's Head" to the "The Matrix" trilogy. Explaining the same theme of Hilary Putnam's "brain in a tank".
I know that the guy named Gao Xiaoshan will definitely say that we are copying "Become John Malkovich", and we just ignore him.
At the same time, due to the excellent topicality of the second season of "White Bear Park", we changed the format and continued to discuss the sensitive topic of "lynching". Don’t you see the small theater behind the red curtain, just think we’re cooking cold rice.
Well, the above is all the creative concept of "Black Mirror" this season. I believe that everyone here must have a lot of questions. Please stay calm and listen to my explanation.
Dear shareholders, since the last season of "Black Mirror" was included in your company, our ratings have reached an unprecedented new height, and with "San Junipiro", we won the 2017 Emmy Award for Best TV Film.
Although fans of the first and second seasons have a lot of dissatisfaction and complaints about Netflix's manipulation and "beautification of British dramas", especially a cheating media "Non-existence Daily" vigorously criticizes our subject matter conservative and politically correct in the field of Chinese science fiction. Thinking about obsolescence from the society, this is what the crew of "Black Mirror" deliberately did-re-discussing the obsolete issues in the new era, this kind of "obsolete" is actually deliberate.
In other words, we are scolded precisely because of the excellent design of "Black Mirror" that turned the high-sounding post-modern Shakespearean drama into a paid subscription into hundreds of millions of local area networks.
We are at a fork in the rapid change of online media. The traditional online drama traffic cake is being divided up by zero-cost content platforms such as vine (it also has a Chinese brother called "Kaishou"). The fourth season of "Black Mirror" draws on the advantages of these media. The crew made a lot of technological innovations for this purpose, analyzed the data in YottaByte*, extracted popular keywords that the public cares about, and created them accordingly. (*Yottabyte, Yao byte, a computer storage measurement, 1 Yao byte is equal to the 80th power byte of 2)
This makes "Black Mirror" the first ppt series. Its creative ideas are all extended with keywords, which is convenient for self-media publishing and online discussion, and it will be refined twice accurately and quickly, becoming a new hot spot.
Simply put, we are the first sci-fi fast-hand series.
In short, with black hole-level data reserves, the most advanced gossip screening system, and the participation of a vote of outstanding Hollywood retired filmmakers who have just lost their jobs, "Black Mirror" will still be the most discussed drama this year. Accurate management, precise marketing, the fourth season of "Black Mirror" is like this road show, accurately conveying various negative energy black holes to our audience.
Everyone, renewing "Black Mirror" will be your company's wisest business choice.
Just a reminder, the 6 episodes of the fourth season are a package contract with the third season. The relevant specific terms are in the third to the 21st line on page 143 of the contract. You can't broadcast it. The next 531-page contract will be sent to everyone's mailbox after the advance viewing meeting, and has been copied to the legal department.
After all, "House of Cards" has completely died. Without us, who would compete with HBO's "Westworld"? Do you rely on Bong Joon-ho's "Yuzi"?
This is the end of the roadshow, thank you all.
Friendly reminder: Later, you will watch the movie ahead of time in the small cinema on the right side of the dining hall on the 4th floor. Those who leave early will not be able to get our special commemorative keychain. Look, it's an emoji on a broken screen, so beautiful.
