"Ah..." In response to the "spoiler-like" reply of female director Leni Riefenstahl, which was obviously a metaphor for "Asylum's Broken Starry Sky", Joseph Goebbels, the second-largest figure in the plot, was limited by the time and space of the plot. I didn't fully understand the true meaning of this sentence: "The cards and players on the card table are indeed a bold metaphor. Back to the movie itself, what exactly needs to be done to 'break the fourth wall'."
"Just like 'a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets.'" The distanced confrontation between female director Leni Riefenstahl and No. 2 Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels has transcended the plot itself: " Because in film creation, we often find that "human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same", so for every plot conflict between love and hate, the audience will have different choices. , carry out effective interaction with the characters in the drama that is "related to the plot", make their own choices at the key points of each movie plot, and respond to the audience's choices, the characters in the drama can change the direction of the plot accordingly, then, only then It’s truly ‘breaking the fourth wall’.”
These very advanced words from female director Leni Riefenstahl are not just Wu Chen's "spoilers." There are also thoughts from avant-garde filmmakers.
In fact, it is impossible to achieve anything other than traveling between the movie and real worlds. Later generations have made a bold attempt to "enable the audience to effectively interact with the characters in the drama related to the plot" - interactive movies.
Interactive Movie, also called "interactive movie". It is a concept in the entertainment media industry that was formed more than ten years ago. Its interactive technology is still developing, and it also continues to have an impact on various media forms. The basic meaning of interactive movies is that participants can become characters in the movie, intervene in the movie environment, and continue to interact.
The essence of the so-called interactive movie is actually a movie that is truly decided by the audience. The production process of this movie (theme, script, selection of director and actors, etc.) will be determined through interactive methods such as online voting, which is different from traditional movies. It's a subversion of the way film is made. Although film is a popular art, traditional film has always been controlled by a small number of artists, and the public only passively accepts it. Interactive movies can get as close to the audience's hearts as possible through online interaction, expressing the audience's confusion, anxiety, love, pain, joy...
It should be pointed out that although interactive movies are called movies, they are first and foremost a game concept, but they are different from the online video games that are very popular among young people nowadays. Online video games first try to restore the world in novels or movie stories as much as possible, providing as many plot clues and occurrence scenes as possible, allowing participants to choose to play one of the characters, and experience the manipulation of the story through interaction with other participants. The joy of development. Although this kind of online game is already quite interactive, the plot world and character personalities it constructs are basically fixed, and the operator can only choose by pressing buttons. In fact, the choices are limited, and the entertainment method is relatively low-level.
Participants in interactive movies can not only choose the established roles in the story, but also create a new identity for themselves; and no matter what role the participants use to enter the movie world, they may change the world and make the plot of the story according to their own imagination. way to develop. This kind of interaction becomes quite complex, with endless possibilities as long as the technology allows, and the entertainment methods are also very advanced. It requires basic skills in computer CG production technology, or a powerful generative AI that can create CG animations ( Generative AI).
So far, although interactive movies have integrated high-tech technologies such as network interaction, telecommunications transmission, and digital ecological simulation developed around the Internet, they still require creators to understand traditional film technologies and use their creativity and imagination in stories. Therefore, in theory, interactive movies = Online interactive live action games + Real Time Rendering Generative-Movies, but this concept has not yet been truly realized.
There is no doubt that game developers have been working hard to truly introduce the concept of interactivity into movies. Playing a truly big game from the computer screen to the big screen in the theater is the dream of many players. In the 1990s, some experiments were conducted in new theaters in Canada and the United States, either by turning adventure games into real movies and asking audiences to use remote controls to choose routes in the theater; or by moving game competitions directly to the theater screen. Today, remaking popular games into movies, or adapting movies into games, has become the top business strategy for a win-win situation between Hollywood movies and games.
Movies are often called "dream factories". Their advantage is that they can lead the audience into an illusory world, as if they are personally experiencing the development of a story. The development of comprehensive Internet technology has provided special effects for the creation of movie plots, characters, and personalities. , which provides new opportunities for activating the dynamics of movies and allowing the capabilities of movies to be fully utilized. Under the guidance of this technical concept, it is indeed possible for the audience to enter the film world, gain direct experience by becoming a member of it, and experience all the fun of manipulating the development of the story. Interactive movies are a door to the mysterious world of movies. Once you enter this world, you are both an audience, a producer, and a creator; you will see the entire process of the birth of a movie completely and transparently; if you are talented and full of wisdom, maybe you will also become A new generation of star directors and actors; perhaps due to an accidental "electric shock", you will enter the film and television industry and eventually become an excellent film and television producer.
With the rise of online media and breakthroughs in AI technology, interactive movies have made great progress in the 21st century.
“In October 2018, Bloomberg reported that the US company Netflix (NETFLIX) will launch a new project to further try interactive TV, allowing users to choose the ending of TV series or movies. The first such project is expected to be launched in It will be announced at the end of this year that Netflix's popular science fiction drama "Black Mirror" will launch an episode through this project, and on October 10, the new "Black Mirror" movie "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch" will be released. : Bandersnatch)" was officially launched on the platform.

It is understood that there will be a short video at the beginning of the movie that says:
This is an interactive video where you make choices. While watching the movie, please hold your tablet or mobile phone in your hand, and selection options will appear at the bottom of the screen from time to time. You need to click "Yes" or "No" to make a selection to change the storyline. The entire selection process needs to be within a certain time limit. Finish. do you understand?
The entire movie "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch", including branches, has a total length (total interactive time) of 312 minutes, and the actual length of the single film is 90 minutes.

For example, in the following one, when the plot reaches a certain stage, the characters in the movie will have a conversation and ask what they want for breakfast. At this time, a prompt will appear on the screen, telling you that you can decide what the protagonist will eat for breakfast. There will be two options, one is a certain brand of sugar shakes, and the other is a certain brand of sweet corn flakes. There will also be a time progress bar, and you can make a selection before the progress bar runs out.
If no choices are made, the movie will continue in the direction it has been set for.
In addition to choosing what to eat for breakfast, there are also choices about what songs to listen to, what books to read, and which destination to go to.
According to netizens who have watched the movie, the choices at the beginning of the movie are relatively simple, but as the plot progresses, the choices made later will increasingly determine the direction of the plot, thus affecting the entire ending.
What’s even more shocking is that at multiple branches of the tree, the protagonist will clearly feel that someone is controlling all his choices, will ask you who you are, and may ask you what to do next... One of the stories At the end of the line, you can even tell the protagonist that you are controlling him on Netflix.
In most cases, it's a multiple-choice question. But you may also encounter multiple-choice questions.
In addition, Netflix, which is so naughty, also refused to allow netizens who watched the video to take screenshots. Once you take a screenshot, the entire screen dims, leaving only the sound and subtitles. From such a detail, we can see that Netflix attaches great importance to copyright protection.
