V: hey, guys, new to the Screen Age. What’s up?)
D: So it’s actually been a while since we have talked about TV series in our program. Do you remember when was it?
Sh: To be honest, We haven’t discussed any kind of TV drama since we joined the Screen Age.
D: Umm, well, that doesn’t matter! What’s kick off today’s show---West World is an American Sci-Fi TV drama, so our broadcast is full of splendid today. XX, have you ever thought about in the future world, all the people here are human-like robots, and you can do anything you like without punishment?
Sh: Wow, that’s what I always dream of. I would be a king.
D: Haha, That’s what this TV series is about. You must feel excited. Now, let’s start!
T: Hey, do you know "The West World" has been in its second season?
D: I don't know, I haven't seen the show's first season yet. But I've heard of it. How is it?
T: Dude, you haven't seen it yet? It's fabulous! You should go to see it!
D: Okay, I would like to know what the show is about?
T: It's a science fiction show which told a story about humans and robots. People built a park full of robots, and the robots here were designed to satisfy humans' desires such as the desire to kill.
D: Wow! Sounds great! I'm kind of interested. So the robots don't know they are robots, right?
T: Right, they treated people like tourists and friends.
D: What's next? Did the robots resist?
T: Yes, they did. The robots were wake up, and started to realize what humans done to them.
D: I must say, it's very attractive to me. I like science fiction movies and teleplays a lot, especially those about robots. I can't wait to see it!
T: There were three turning points in the first season which made the show a masterpiece.
D: Awesome! What about season two?
T: See it by yourself !
V:Well,you know many people are crazy fans of the Westworld including me.So we are all looking forward to the second season
S:Me too.I will follow it as soon as it updates. And have you ever predicted the plot of the it after watching the first season?
V:Of course.When I saw the first season,I really felt pitiful about the fate of the robots,that human care nothing about the life of them and their life even the way of death are designed by others .So I guess that more and more robots will know the truth about the west world , they will control their own fate and begin to revolt in the second season.
S:Wow,sounds cool.Actually if the robots have their own thoughts,they are no difference from human,they have life,have love and hate and also the long for fair.
V:I agree with you.And I think one of reasons why the west world is so popular is it can arouse people's thinking about the human nature.
S:You mean most of the human become demons, and without the bondage of the human world, they release their desires and enjoy the feeling of killing them.
V:Yes,it is really terrified
S: "Western world" based on a science fiction writer Michael's movie, HBO version of the "western world"use the concept of theme park in the novel, the plot is by Jonathan Nolan and his wife , joey.
V: "Western world" is a big capital of HBO series, only ten plays'production costs up to $100 million (672 million yuan), and the first play's production is $25 million (168 million yuan) with propaganda cost more than 40 million.
S: It's certainly not disappointing, with 12 million views on all platforms, and it is the most watched TV series of first season in 2016.
V: The first play of "westworld" won the story with a new, thoughtful and in-depth review.
S: "Westworld", the new series of HBO in 2016 has the potential to become a national concern.
L: You know the Westworld is produced by HBO, Home Box Office. That’s a big company with a history of more than forty years. It not only distributes TV series, but also movies, boxing and shows for kids.
T: yep , of a wide range. But the series part is the most striking. Despite Westworld, there is still a lot of good works, like Sex and the City, Boardwalk Empire, and, of course Game of Thrones.
L: you got me. Game of Thrones is my favorite show. From 2011 to now, it has already broadcast seven seasons, still remained a heated topic.
T: The new season will be released in 2019, and it is said that some important roles will die. Just hope you’re prepared.
L: that’s awful. But an attribute of American series is that they are not afraid to say anything. They go deep into humanity, deep into society ，raise tv series to an artistic height.
T: It is worth noting that, there are no advertisements in HBO, which maybe means lower income. But it gives a more liberal creation environment to the directors and that always helps to become a high quality series.
C: Do you know the director of West World?
L: I just know him a little, but not very much. Would you like to tell something about him?
C: Of course.Jonathan Nolan is a well-known name. He is the brother of famous director Christopher Nolan. As an editor and brother, he co-authored classic movies such as memory fragments, deadly Magic and Batman: the Dark Knight. He has always been a good writer of science fiction.
L: Based on your introduction, I believe he is a really good director. Then, how about his action in Western World?
C: Western World is an exciting work. Under the guidance of Nolan, who is good at telling stories, the series is logical and organized. Many flashes of detail need to be savoured. Like a fly that appears more than once in the play.
L: The director made a great difference on it. It's highly expected that he will creat more exciting works.
D: How cool this TV play is! It seems that human have been not content with online game but started to create the high-tech adult park. Meanwhile, the experience will be more exciting and more real.
Sh: Yes. And, in this TV series, the robots also become different from the imagination in our traditional minds.
D: In a word, it is so amazing! Although I haven't seen it, I seem to be the fan of it.
Sh: Right. It deserves to recommend to our audiences.
D: Sure. We can see it together and have a further discussion.
Sh: OK. Now, It's time to say goodbye to our dear audiences. See you next week.
