我們採訪了2025年電視連續劇《零日攻擊》(零日攻擊) 的製作人鄭心媚，這部10集電視劇設想了中國人民解放軍入侵台灣後台灣內部的分裂和凝聚力。 她談到了她開發節目的經驗，以及台灣創意產業中審查和自我審查的挑戰。 鄭心媚是一位屢獲殊榮的電視劇編劇，經常講述二戰後台灣社會的故事。她的職業生涯始於一名印刷記者，報導國家災害和危機，最著名的是1999年的921地震和2003年的SARS爆發。 該集錄製於2025年8月3日，即第一集發布的第二天。 零日（Z日）一詞用於描述中國入侵台灣的假想日期，該詞最早由美國安全分析師伊恩·伊斯頓（Ian Easton）在其2017年的著作《中國入侵威脅》中使用。他提出了零日情景：首先是封鎖，然後是兩棲登陸，然後是全面接管台灣。 在電腦術語中，零日（0-Day）是軟體、硬體或韌體的安全漏洞，開發人員對此一無所知，因此會產生針對網路攻擊的漏洞。 鄭解釋說，對於台灣來說，最脆弱的時期將是總統選舉（1月）和新總統就職（5月）之間的四個月。 而這正是《零日攻擊》的背景。 每一集都講述了社會的不同方面：軍事、媒體、網路攻擊、宗教和商業團體等；想像中國的滲透將如何影響台灣公眾的心態。 開發這個系列並非易事。 鄭討論了創意產業中的自我審查通常如何阻止政治故事的發展、資助和製作。在她作為編劇的十年經驗中，收到要求演員和工作人員不要公開發表政治問題聲明的合同是一種常見的經歷，因為擔心危及製作在中國的發行。 潛在的資助者迴避了「零日攻擊」項目。許多演員——或者在某些情況下，整個演藝經紀公司——拒絕參與。直到今天，一半的劇組成員仍然匿名。 自8月2日該系列發布以來，有傳言稱參與該節目的劇組成員現在被某些製作公司列入黑名單，無法工作。 《零日攻擊》（2025年，10集）於2025年8月2日在台灣公共電視台首播。它可以在日本通過亞馬遜日本流媒體播放；在台灣則可以在PTS+、Line TV、MyVideo和Hami Video上播放。 （第一集全球首映於2025年5月在哥本哈根民主峰會上。） 研究和編輯：蔡偉恩、姜哲和吳維拉。 請在Patreon上捐款以支持台灣報導 http://patreon.com/taiwan 在社交媒體上關注並標記我們： 鬼島媒體 | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter Emily Y.
