Chapter 701: Black Mirror (2)
When Wang Qingjun was young, he caught up with the good times, that is, the era when traffic actors were popular.
Wang Qingjun made his model debut and transformed into an actor halfway, because he had a good skin and good popularity, he easily earned a lot of money. At that time, filming was not difficult, the requirements for acting skills were not high, and the requirements for time were very high. At the craziest time, he took three scripts at the same time and rolled three scenes. If you don't have time to appear, you use a stand-in, you don't have time to memorize your lines, you lip-sync, and if you can't catch up with the shooting, you use post-splicing...... He didn't think about whether such a thing was something an actor should do, nor did he think about what to do in the future, he only knew that no matter how the filming was made, there would be an audience to watch it, and he only knew that he could make enough money now.
But there are occasional fates in the world.
The three dramas failed one after another, and the family suddenly said that he had used his savings to buy futures, but as a result, he not only lost his capital but even owed a lot.
When the helpless Wang Qingjun wanted to take over the drama to make money, he found that in a blink of an eye, the industry could no longer accommodate him. The outside world is full of scolding for him, and the industry is also mocking, lamenting the reincarnation of heaven and retribution.
From being sought after by 10,000 people to being ignored by no one, the gap almost destroyed his self-confidence, and the word-of-mouth backlash brought by his past actions made him doubt his body and mind and collapsed several times. Later, it was the agent who found him, brought him a role, encouraged him, and said that he couldn't let people see jokes. Wang Qingjun has no long things, he can't do anything except acting, and in the end he can only grit his teeth and continue to devote himself to film and television despite the cynicism of the industry and outside the industry. From a handsome beautiful boy to a middle-aged man with a big belly and a precarious hairline, he took on any role during the period, and was willing to play any role.
He has been holding his breath for the past twenty years, wanting to get back what he has lost.
In order to compete for ability, he flatters, betrays his conscience, and sees that the wind makes the rudder trivial.
Therefore, now he uses his conscience as an excuse, which is tantamount to claiming that he has seen aliens.
After a long silence, the agent who accompanied Wang Qingjun all the way through these years slowly spoke: "You have to figure it out, it's too late for us to save ourselves now, how can we care about what will happen to Han Jue." ”
Wang Qingjun pursed his lips to the fullest. He knew very well that he and his agent had used most of their favors and relationships in the operation of "Black Mirror", and they thought they were going to soar, but now they are undoubtedly wasted. The future after that is still uncertain, and if they don't denounce Han Jue for picking himself out, their situation will become even more difficult.
"If you miss this opportunity, you won't have it. Everyone has his luck, big and small, if you can't catch it once, you can only do it for a lifetime. The agent sighed, "We can't fall here." Aqing, we've held on for so long, we can't fall here......"
Wang Qingjun swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and his breathing became chaotic. He remembered the goal that had always inspired him to bend his head and crawl forward.
"It's a love to help people, not a duty, you have no obligation to help Han Jue. The agent said, "Han Jue really can't help it over there, the current situation is that there is not much support for you and a lot less for you, what do you think?"
"Hmm......" Wang Qingjun replied in a low voice, very softly.
But the tip of the agent's ears heard the crack in his conscience, and he added more strength, and said: "Condemn Han Jue, you don't have to be burdened, we just get the previous investment back." And this kind of thing affects us, and we are also victims. ”
"......" Wang Qingjun's lips were dry and he pursed his lips. The rift is even bigger.
The agent waited for Wang Qingjun to digest for a while, and finally said to Wang Qingjun in a tone of tidying up the mess: "That's it, I'll come." ”
"What?" Wang Qingjun was surprised.
"I'll send you the copy condemning Han Jue, after the first episode of "Black Mirror" is over, after the popularity rises, you can just send it directly to Weite. The words will be a little harsh, but there is no way, we are already later than others, so we can only take a stand like this. ”
"Wait ......," Wang Qingjun anxiously wanted to say.
But the agent hung up forcefully.
Wang Qingjun was stunned for a moment, put down the phone like a stone, and then gritted his teeth and fell into pain.
Not just for the pain of what is about to be done, but also for the hypocrisy in my heart. Because he knew that if he really wanted to turn down the agent's offer, then he should call back now. But he couldn't get out. He pinched his mobile phone and listened to the voice in his heart, one of which was the first to appear, curbing his voice in the joint crusade against Han Jue by the actors of "Black Mirror": "Don't do such a disgusting thing, you will look down on yourself." But now after the call, Wang Qingjun heard more voices in his heart: "It was the agent who forced me to do it, and I can't do it." "The agent is right, I'm also a victim. "I can't stop here......"
Wang Qingjun fell into the battle between heaven and man, his thoughts were in a mess, and for some reason, there was a sudden "ding" in his mobile phone, which startled him.
When I looked down, it was a spam text message congratulating him on getting a loan of 200,000 Huaxia coins.
Wang Qingjun ruthlessly deleted the text message, looked at the time again, and found that it was almost time for "Black Mirror" to start.
Wang Qingjun turned on the computer in a distraught mood and logged in to the video website of [Xiangyun] - [Cloud].
[Cloud] is a video platform owned by [Xiangyun], and its appearance is actually a little out of place. In the current field of streaming media, there is an old force like [Lake], which was formerly a pay TV channel, and then there is [Naifang], an emerging force that creates content through big data to seize the market, and occasionally releases a few popular films that go straight to the [Golden Bull Awards], compared to these two, [Cloud] is backed by [Xiangyun], and there is nothing but money, and even if you want to spend it, you can't spend it - talent has already been robbed.
Over the past few years, [Cloud] has been mediocre, and the biggest role it has played at present, in addition to adding jobs to the society, is that "after the release, the shares of [Xiangyun] have risen a little". Now [Xiangyun] has finally learned from the pain, replaced the person in charge of [Cloud], and spent a huge amount of money to sign Han Jue's new work "Black Mirror". When the news first came out, everyone was still thinking that this time [Xiangyun] would come to run, and finally the situation at the end of the crane would be changed. However, the series was finally completed, and Han Jue's hacking incident suddenly came out, some people sighed, some people slapped their thighs, and sighed in a very feudal and superstitious tone: "I knew it." [Xiangyun] is still honest about mobile phones and computers, it is not necessary to engage in film and television. ”
The voice of the online boycott of Han Jue was very high, and he was not allowed to come out of "Black Mirror", so he ran to leave a message under the product of [Xiangyun], ran to the message area of other works of [Cloud Video], and called customer service.
Wang Qingjun originally thought that under the pressure of public opinion with such momentum, "Black Mirror" would be suppressed and not released, but what he didn't expect was that [Xiangyun] ignored all the opposing voices in front of him and didn't make any statements, which means that the series should be released according to the plan, and it is very domineering of the top ten companies in the world by market capitalization.
Those who hated Han Jue were very angry and almost wanted to boycott [Xiangyun] together, but because their mobile phones or computers were the brand of [Xiangyun], they had to target accurately and only boycott [Cloud], so that everyone should not watch "Black Mirror", and those who have the conditions can go directly to [Vine] to give "Black Mirror" a one-star evaluation.
On the homepage of [Cloud Video], there is a poster of "Black Mirror".
The poster is not surprising - in an all-black background, there are only a few white cracks that appear to be absent, running from left to right, cutting the word "Black Mirror" in the center to pieces. If you zoom in on this poster, it will only make people suspect that your mobile phone screen or tablet screen is broken.
At the bottom of the poster, there is also a time countdown that shows how much time is left until Black Mirror goes live.
【00:05:58】
【00:05:57】
【00:05:56】
Posters for other episodes or movies are all underneath, a little smaller, and huddled together. It's all obscure poster designs and titles that people don't have much interest in clicking in. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why [Cloud] is so retrograde in the face of public opinion and strongly launched "Black Mirror".
There are still nearly six minutes before the start of "Black Mirror", and Wang Qingjun plans to take a look at Weite and Moments.
There are marketing Internet celebrities on Weite who launched a vote and asked fans if they would watch "Black Mirror", and some people left a message saying that they would not watch it, and some people left a message saying that they would watch it, "The work belongs to the work", and then many people came to quarrel. Most of the quarrels didn't get to the point, they were all venting their emotions, and they wanted to forcibly stuff their ideas to the other party, Wang Qingjun was very bored. Switching to the circle of friends, the movement is very small, as if I don't pay attention to "Black Mirror" at all, but I ask in a private chat, in fact, I am waiting to watch. "Although Han Jue's character is suspicious, he still has to see his works, and only when he looks at it carefully, can he judge it more confidently. Such a reasoned statement is not afraid of being screenshotted and sent elsewhere.
I flipped through the list of friends, and there were nearly 2,000 people. Half of them have been accumulated for more than ten years, and the other half is after being confirmed to appear in "Black Mirror", people came to him and took the initiative to add him. Their attitude is warm and humble, they like it quickly, they leave comfortable messages, and they have a smell of "I please you but it can't be too obvious, otherwise you will fall behind", just like he treated the first half of people in the past. Now these two thousand people are mixed up, and they randomly clicked a few to look at their circle of friends, but they can't see it, it's blank, and they don't know if it's blocked or blocked, Wang Qingjun shook his head and put away his phone.
On the other side of the screen, the countdown is just approaching the end time.
【00:00:02】
【00:00:01】
【00:00:00】
When the time comes, "Black Mirror" will be launched as scheduled.
