由Endemol Shine公司制作,于2015年九月至十月在英国Channel 4播出的这档六集真人秀节目HUNTED就向我们抛出了这个问题:
If you had to disappear tomorrow with some of the world’s best missing persons experts looking for you and the most cutting edge technology keeping tabs on your electronic footprint, could you just vanish?
如果你明天就要消失,身后有着全球追踪专家使用最顶尖科技追踪你的电子踪迹,你真的能做到消失吗?
英国为什么就可以做出这样一档节目?
这跟英国的文化氛围和科技实力是分不开的。说到文化氛围,必要提及的是文化审美,这同理于广告界内乙方设计师若被甲方low 逼的审美胁持限制。除此之外还有文化创新,这基于创新的理念和敢于实验的勇气。科技实力用以下一些数字让大家可以好好感受一下。
