The Prime Minister's team made two preparations, one to catch the kidnappers, and the other to find stuntmen and special effects artists to prepare for cheating during the live broadcast at 4 p.m. As a result, on the way to transport the stuntman, he was accidentally seen by passers-by, took a photo and posted it on the Internet, and the plan was revealed.

The kidnappers reacted by sending a finger and another video to the television station. In the video, the kidnappers cut off the princess's finger.

After the TV station released the video to the public, the society, which was originally relatively calm, suddenly boiled.

Reason and civilization have been squeezed almost into invisible corners, and there is no longer room for discussion on the Internet. Everyone is worried about the Internet celebrity princess. Someone mocked the prime minister's partner online. Public opinion reversed, and the public opinion, which was originally only 28% that the prime minister should compromise, instantly rose to 80%.

Public opinion opened its fangs at this moment.

At first, when they heard that the prime minister was going to, they expressed sympathy, and later when they heard that the princess had her fingers cut off, they were equally sympathetic. They don't care if it's contradictory or not, and they don't care. Because they are not the ones who are at the center of public opinion. They will only comment on their own feelings. For them, it doesn't matter what the future is, it's the emotions of the moment that matter.

Public opinion is never indifferent, and it is never rational.

Ah Mei stared at the screen with a dull gaze, as if she had once again witnessed the change of public opinion after Han Jue's hacking incident.

At that time, Han Jue and Weng Nanxi teamed up to expose Li Zebin's true face, and the public worshipped Weng Nanxi as a goddess and regarded Han Jue as his true temperament, so he praised him. As a result, after the hacker sent out the so-called video found from Han Jue's computer, because it involved minors, everyone threw away their reason, and they wanted Han Jue to die immediately. Someone cursed Han Jue, and also mocked Zhang Yiman. Some people gloat, others fish in troubled waters. What is the truth, and does anyone really care?

Amei looked at the computer screen, looked at "Black Mirror", and also looked at the screen on which "Black Mirror" was shown. She kept asking in her heart, what is the media, what is the new media, relying on the development of science and technology, what kind of existence are they in the news practitioners who have changed with them, and what is the difference between them and traditional reporters in the past.

"Black Mirror" [national anthem] continues.

The prime minister was cornered by public opinion, and he finally pinned all his hopes on catching the robbers and stopping the farce. However, when the action team arrested according to the clues, they failed to catch the robbers in the end, and they pounced, and the only gain was only a reporter who was brave and not afraid of death to secretly take pictures.

The arrest that the prime minister had hoped for also failed miserably. Under the pressure of public opinion and the threat of partisanship, he finally had only one way to compromise.

When it was officially announced on television that the prime minister would do something indecent at the request of the kidnappers, people gathered in front of the television to watch this unprecedented event, as if they had contributed to a happy event of anticipation and joy. Officials advised the public to turn off the TV and not watch it, but no one turned it off.

Several exterior shots switched, and those bustling areas and lively scenic spots were all empty.

The whole country was as quiet as if it were dead.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the prime minister appeared on time on thousands of television screens amid cheers from all over the country.

......

......

When he saw the prime minister in the story start to cry behind the pig as the kidnappers demanded, Wang Qingjun felt his heart clenched fiercely.

This is the power of art, the power of pictures, and the power of stories.

The prime minister vomited so badly by the toilet after the pig, but Wang Qingjun looked at his image on the screen and didn't feel ugly at all. Because he felt that there were other more ugly things in the film.

What Wang Qingjun was most shocked by was not the picture of the prime minister doing pigs, but the faces of the masses who witnessed this picture.

Han Jue did not carefully present the highly topical scene like other classified movies, but slowly swept the camera over the faces of the vast number of onlookers, twice. The picture of this section is gloomy, and the sad orchestral music is slowly playing, as if mourning the death of a whole country. The camera focused on the faces of the audience one by one, slowly swept over, some people stared at the TV with a fanatical face, some people turned their heads but couldn't help but focus their eyes on the TV, some people had flat eyes, some people had a flickering smile, some people couldn't bear to look directly, and some people were dumbfounded......

Such a picture is simply chilling, and I only feel extremely desolate in my heart.

The so-called "national anthem" is actually the voice of the people. Public opinion is anonymous, a collection of thousands of voices, and the person in it does not need to take responsibility for anything he does. Because there is no name, there is no reason to accuse.

In the end, the prime minister was forced to broadcast live to the nation under the pressure of public opinion, and he had sex with a pig for more than an hour, in exchange for the life of the kidnapped princess. But the funny thing is that the princess was released half an hour before the prime minister started the live broadcast, but no one found out. Because almost everyone in the whole country flocked to the television to watch the Prime Minister carry out this ugly and obscene prank of salvation.

Then all the truth came out: the kidnapper was an artist, and he kidnapped not the princess, but the whole country to accompany him for a test, a performance art. The princess was not cut off her finger either, the severed finger was the artist's own.

In the whole story, the people satisfy the curiosity, the royal family finds the cherished princess, the government officials are safe, and the princess still stands in front of the stage as a perfect person after the incident, surrounded and watched, and still lives a prosperous life. Even the kidnapping of the artist has been dubbed "the first great work of art of the 21st century".

And the purest victim of the whole incident is only the prime minister. And the poor prime minister was quickly abandoned after this incident – a year later, his approval rating was only three percent higher than in previous years.

At the end of the story, the prime minister and his wife return home hand in hand, and as soon as the door closes, the wife ignores her husband's retention and goes upstairs alone in indifference, leaving only the prime minister standing in front of the stairs in a daze, his shoulders falling weakly.

Wang Qingjun didn't have time to reminisce about his emotional back on the screen, he lay on the sofa and reminisced about the "national anthem", counting how many opportunities in the film could actually keep the prime minister from going to the end.

One is an announcement by the media. If there is no mass retweet, there is no collective emotion. If it had aroused a collective sentiment and the official mainstream media had tried its best to guide it, it would not have provoked barbaric onlookers later.

One is the exposure of the stand-in. If the stuntman had not been photographed and posted on the Internet to cause exposure, then the fake video of the princess having her finger cut off would not have come out, and the emotions of the people would not have been ignited.

One is thirty minutes before the broadcast. If people don't look at the spectators and focus on useful actions, then the princess who was released early will be discovered, and the prime minister will be avoided in the end.

Obviously, there are so many opportunities to save, but but, somewhat, how did you get to the last step?

Wang Qingjun sighed, thought of Han Jue again, and then thought of Han Jue's "Black Mirror".

His performance in "Black Mirror" is unprecedentedly good, Wang Qingjun asked himself if it was a pity?

I thought it was a pity in the first five minutes of watching it, but now that I'm done with it, it doesn't seem to be a pity.

He was faintly glad that he felt that it was great to be able to participate in such a film. Not to mention that "Black Mirror" will inevitably become a classic, and the prime minister of himself, a dry pig, will also become a representative role.

Wang Qingjun began to think about what it means to perform and what it means to be an actor like never before. The first thing that jumped out was the obsession of many years - [participating in the show is to prove yourself again]. But before today, Wang Qingjun never thought about it: what happens after proving himself?

If you really reach the top and win the best actor, what will happen after that?

Stopped acting?

It shouldn't be possible, he can't do anything but act.

If he wants to act, then why should he act?

Wang Qingjun looked at the list of staff members who were suspended after the end of the first episode of "Black Mirror" [National Anthem], and looked at the name marked with the prefix of director and screenwriter - Han Jue. Wang Qingjun remembered a scene when he had dinner with Han Jue on the set. He filmed Han Jue's sycophants, praising films like "Black Mirror" for criticizing what human nature is, and his strength is wonderful. Han Jue's answer at the time was: "I don't criticize human nature, I never have any expectations for human nature, I only show human nature." After Wang Qingjun relented, he asked Han Jue why he wanted to make a movie. Han Jue smiled and said, "I made a movie because it made me feel like I was alive twice." ”

"Ding-" A message came in that interrupted Wang Qingjun's memories.

He looked down and saw that it was the copywriting prepared by the agent.

The copywriting is as the agent said before, the wording is ruthless, even if it is placed in a bunch of "votes" on the Internet, the more it is still full of color.

Wang Qingjun looked down at these copywriters, and finally lay down on the back of the sofa with his eyes closed, thinking.

The viewer watching the TV at the end of "Black Mirror" comes to mind. Those viewers who looked cold, helpless, funny, sad, but no one went outside.

He opened his eyes and looked into his hands. The screen of the mobile phone in his hand has been turned off, and the black screen reflects his face. Wang Qingjun saw his face. The face of the "Prime Minister".

In the film, he is the prime minister who was sacrificed on TV, but what about outside the film?

Today, when Han Jue is coerced by public opinion and public opinion, he is now obviously capable of doing something but not doing it, what is the difference between such carefulness and those viewers who watch the excitement in the film?

Wang Qingjun held his mobile phone, as if facing a black mirror, carefully examining himself.

After a long time, he put down his phone and made a decision.

[No......]

Wang Qingjun sat up suddenly, clicked on his phone, closed the page showing the copy, and said sorry to the agent in his heart. [I don't want to be one of those people. 】

Opening Weite, Wang Qingjun took a deep breath and typed word by word.

......

......

When Amei finished watching "Black Mirror", a person fell into a long daze in his position.

The senior walked up behind her and asked her how she was doing.

Amei looked at the notebook spread out on the table, there was a blank space on it, and there was nothing.

The senior asked Ah Mei what was going on, but Ah Mei remained motionless and did not answer. The senior was silent for a moment, shook his head and left.

Amei continued to be stunned for a while, and then searched the Internet for Weite related to "Black Mirror".

There are exaggerations and deprecations, and the exaggerations are extremely exaggerated, and the real materials are real, but the depreciations are particularly empty, like a template prepared in advance.

Amei found that there was a micro-special related to "Black Mirror" on the hot spot, which was actually sent by Wang Qingjun, the protagonist of the first episode of "Black Mirror" [National Anthem].

Wang Qingjun said:

[Nowadays, the trend of dignitaries standing in line on the Internet is very prevalent, and I am forced to ask where I want to stand. I don't really want to stand on either side, I just want to stand on the side of the truth. If Han Jue really committed a crime, then go through the legal process and let the law decide. But before the truth came out, they attacked it because of hearsay, and this evil act is no different from a crime, and the only difference is that they only blend in with the crowd and commit a crime together, and the law does not hold the public accountable.

If Han Jue is innocent, then all of us have been tricked. It's like in Black Mirror, we're all used, kidnapped, and toyed with.

When someone asked me what type of series Black Mirror was, I didn't know the definition of a series at the time, so I used a joke to vaguely pass it. Because such a series has never appeared before, the content is ridiculous, but the slightest thought makes people feel terrible. Now I can be sure that this is an allegorical play.

Now the same thing is happening, we are sitting and watching the film become a reality, becoming one of the stupid memorials. Or do you pursue the truth and become a sober person?

So, don't let Black Mirror become a reality.

Until the truth comes out, I will not criticize, I will not support, and I will not take sides. Most of the time, too intense emotions are not conducive to the discussion and communication of topics.

At all times, we should remember that if the evil forces win in the world, it is not the tame executors of the evil side that will be held accountable in the first place, but the sober servants of the good side. 】

Wang Qingjun's remarks made him like a banner that lit a fire with "Black Mirror" as his salary in the chaotic and irrational environment of public opinion.

He made those who had lost their way in the chaotic environment seem to have found their way, and little by little, little by little, they moved closer to the flames.

He wants to show the world that this society will not be as bad as in the film.

[Don't let "Black Mirror" become a reality...... Ah Mei silently recited in her heart, and suddenly made up her mind, cherished and put the waste manuscript in her bag, then pushed away the chair and strode to the deputy editor-in-chief.

The deputy editor-in-chief lifted his glasses and asked, "What's the matter?"

Amei could feel that in addition to the deputy editor-in-chief in front of her, the eyes of other colleagues were also focused on her. Amei's face flushed, and she almost ran away, but despite this, she still said what she wanted to say firmly and clearly:

"I, I'm going to resign......!"
