To ask what the world's first TV series is, the answer is undoubtedly Squid Game.
Of the 83 countries that aired, 43 won the first place in the series.
The global viewership audience exceeds 100 million, and it is also the giant company Netflix, the most watched episode since its inception, from this point of view, the "world's first drama" deserves it.
As a result, the creators of "Squid Game" also appeared on the famous American talk show Fei Lun Show, which is also a rare all-Asian lineup since the beginning of the Fei Lun Show.
Not only that, but due to the popularity, and even the korean fever around the world, a language learning platform shows that the number of people learning Korean in the UK and the US has increased by 76% and 40% respectively recently.
The play tells the story of a group of indebted losers who secretly participate in a game called the Squid Game.
The winner of the final game will receive a huge reward totaling 45.6 billion won.
If you want to win the game, you must pass six game tests such as "No Wood Man" and "Lime Candy", and all the contestants are full of ambition.
But what they don't know is that once eliminated, they will lose not only huge sums of money, but also their own lives...
After the explosion of this drama, the evil games in the play also quickly spread throughout the Internet, becoming a popular topic on the Internet and becoming the material for various videos.
Especially the first game, "One Two Three Wooden Man" is extremely popular. The rule of the game is that the player who passes through the playground is the winner within the specified time.
But it's not so easy to get through, there's a robot big girl in the playground, and she can only move when she turns her back, and when she turns her head, everyone must be stationary.
If you violate the rules, you will be shot by the dark cannons around you.
In the face of such an interesting game, all kinds of netizens have room for operation. One of the old irons, let the melon buyer Hua Qiang, also participate in a "no wooden man".
In a group of green-clad Losers, Hua Qiang is full of spirits, sitting on an electric donkey, in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, it is like going to the street to buy vegetables.
In addition to Hua Qiang, the other Immortals were also called to return to their thrones.
For example, some people used the idea of Guan Gongzhan Qin Qiong to ghost animals in the "Squid Game", "What if other anime characters participate in the Squid Game." ”
So there was the Hulk braving the cannon fire and rushing to the line.
Foreign heroes cannot only show their faces, but our domestic heroes must also be arranged. So, on the sunny playground, Ip Man descended from the sky and, as a representative of Chinese martial arts, participated in the game of squid.
Subsequently, Master Ye proved the unchangeable truth of "Chinese divine skills" with his hands, forced out the laser in his eyes with internal force, used light skills to pry open the hard ground under his feet, and struck out with one move, shaking the Korean Peninsula, and his eyes were open, which was half a martial forest.
Master Ye was on board, and Wu Jing naturally had to participate.
Under the fire of the dark guns around them, the others had long been chaotic, but the chaos only confused the enemy, and they could not mess with Jingge.
I saw him strolling idly, like an afternoon walk, walking a dog in the garden, and stepping through the playground. Ren's body turned into mud, and JingGe's look did not change. Ren Gangzhu bullets leaked everywhere, and he could not help him in any way.
In addition to the gathering of you in the "Squid Game", the other road gods are not slack.
For example, a 3D animation enthusiast took aim at the "Squid Game", allowing the contestants to twist the "invincible" giant buttocks, take steps that six relatives do not recognize, and dance in the game.
Its impact is comparable to that of Sadako, and its lens expressiveness is not inferior to Kubrick's.
There are also masters who make a "squid alarm clock".
If you dare not stand when the alarm goes off, the "Wooden Man Girl" will open her mouth, twist her head, and shoot you awake with less than 100 Newtons.
This surprise also came to the real world, after the fire of "Squid Game", Koreans really put a "wooden girl" in the mall.
The commercial center immediately became the scene of the drama COS, and everyone competed to play a game with the big head sister in front of them.
The "Wooden Man" game is booming, and another game, "Sugar Candy", is not far behind.
"Squid Game" is the second game of "Squid Game", in which contestants receive a thin needle and a box of graphic candies called "Squid".
The rule of the game is that the candy on the candy is completely buckled with a fine needle, and if the graphic is damaged, or the time is exhausted and not completed, the only thing waiting for the contestants is the deadly bullet.
The simple, fun game has sparked the so-called "Sugar Challenge" on social media.
There are also UP masters, directly start to make "lime sugar", the boiled syrup into the mold, while not yet cooled and hardened, buckle the pattern.
Then I played the game of "Lime Sugar" myself.
Of course, some netizens have opened their minds to "what will happen if the candy is in China".
When the protagonist Li Zhengzai rushed to open the candy box, what he saw was a map of the Qingming River, and his eyes were filled with despair in an instant, and haoyue was speechless.
The so-called drama is not much, how popular "Squid Game" is, how big the questions accepted are, and some netizens directly believe that the so-called popular network is just a disgusting marketing.
Others think that this Squid Game has nothing but wooden people and candy.
But in my opinion, the above two games are certainly surprises, but the essence of "Squid Games" lies in the next few games.
Speaking of which, we would like to mention the director of "Squid Game", the Mesozoic force of Chungmuro in South Korea, Hwang Dong Hyuk.
Unlike many well-known film directors, Hwang Dong Hyuk, born in 1971, debuted with his debut film "My Father" at the age of 36.
Only 4 years later, Huang Donghe joined hands with Kong Liu to shoot "The Melting Pot" about the "Dumb School Child Prostitution Incident", which caused great repercussions.
In 2017, he collaborated with Lee Byung-hyun, the King of South Korea, to shoot his own masterpiece of history, Namhansanseong.
The film tells the story of whether the small korean court at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when facing the army of the Qing Emperor Taiji, was loyal to the Ming Dynasty or surrendered to the Qing army.
Whether it is historical themes or today's society, Huang Donghe has been constructing an extremely oppressive environment in his most famous films.
In "The Melting Pot", the teacher with a conscience faces the oppression of the school system.
In "Namhansanseong", the Korean scholars and doctors who are the heads of the country are facing the Qing army soldiers approaching the city.
But this time, in "Squid Games", Huang Donghe also put pen and ink on the mutual harm between people.
In the second half of the series, the fog draped over this killing game also gradually dissipates.
A group of international rich people saved up this game for entertainment, and the people who participated in the game, without exception, were all losers in society, either gambling debts or debts.
This is easily reminiscent of the oppression of the working class by capital.
But beyond that, what's even more frightening is the mutual slaughter between the contestants.
In the first two games, the buckle sugar block of the candy and the "don't move" of the wooden man are actually just a battle between people and rules.
But in the game after that, the contestants will face a living person directly.
For example, throughout the game, the third game is "Dorm Massacre".
The rules of the game are simple, let the participants fight each other for a specified period of time after the lights go out in the dormitory, and the survivors advance to the next round.
In the game, everyone starts teaming up with each other in order to keep themselves alive.
Just like in school, tall and strong people quickly have their own classes. And those who are thin and honest often become knives and fish.
In these classes, the most typical character is the Han Beauty in the play, in order to survive, she takes the initiative to hook up with the gangster boss among the contestants.
Even at the expense of betraying hue, in the case of life in danger, he also made fun with each other.
Han Meinu, who has the support of her eldest brother, is also becoming more and more arrogant. Jump in line to rob other people's food, provoke everywhere, fox fake tiger power, awe-inspiring.
And those who are thin and honest, in school, often not only do not get help, but will suffer discrimination from others.
But in Squid Games, these weak people unite to face the coming threat.
Finally, when darkness fell, the various gangs fought together with each other, swords and swords, and rivers of blood. And those who chose to unite eventually survived.
This mutual harm intensified in subsequent games.
The fourth game is to have two teams of people tug-of-war on the high platform, and the losing side will be dragged down by the opposing team and fall to death.
The fifth game is to have friends team up in pairs, and when the game starts, tell each other that the two can only survive one, and then force them to calculate each other.
The sixth is to make everyone push each other through the glass boardwalk full of traps.
This mutual harm reaches its peak in the last game, allowing the only survivors of the game to fight each other, and the winner will receive the final prize.
In this process, as long as they harm each other, they can push the game forward. Only the most despicable people can win the final jackpot.
But unexpectedly, director Huang Donghe chose, people and animals are harmless, the actual nest of good old people, Cheng Qixun came to the end.
Why?
Because this is the director's last goodwill unleashed in this cruel game, the director's intention is to protest against this mutual harm.
But ironically, when the series was broadcast around the world, many children rushed to imitate it after watching it, which instead caused serious school violence and peer bullying.
According to the Brussels Times, in the school in the Belgian town of El Crina, students have been seen watching "Squid Games" imitate the scene and beat up classmates.
In educational institutions in many European countries, parents are warned not to let their children watch the Squid Game.
To this end, schools in Kent, England, have even added a course on violence and online injury to address the possible impact of Squid Games.
But is it really Squid Games that makes these children bully and violent?
I don't think so.
As early as between the episodes, an official South Korean investigation revealed that half of South Koreans had been violently beaten or verbally bullied in schools.
A TV series naturally can't change anything, whether it becomes good or bad, it's the same.
It is impossible for a person to attain enlightenment because of a literary and artistic work, nor can he degenerate into evil because of it.
The only thing that can be changed is the long-term influence of civilization on mankind, so that the flame of good thoughts in our hearts will not be swallowed up by darkness.
