Feng Ke is not actually a reporter in the true sense. He used to be a member of the archery team and a national first-class athlete. It was precisely because of this special experience that he developed his eyesight and physical strength, and became a paparazzi who is good at taking candid photos.
A good foundation.
His most famous work was taking photos of Grandma Xiaoqing playing ball with her boyfriend after she was released from prison. In order to take this set of photos, he followed Grandma Xiaoqing for twenty-five days after she was released from prison.
The average paparazzi simply does not have such perseverance. It was precisely because of this set of photos that he got to know Table Wei and formed a long-term cooperative relationship. It was he who sold the stolen photos to Table Wei for whom he worked.
Newspaper agency.
In 2006, after Table Wei resigned from the "Beijing News", he took him with him to establish Fengxing Studio, which would frighten the entire entertainment industry and make celebrities hate and fear it for the next ten years.
Desi Wei is in charge of writing, and Feng Ke is in charge of candid photography. It can be said that one is a perfect match for both writing and martial arts.
Compared to the pushy Table Wei, Feng Ke has always been very low-key. He is a paparazzi to make a living, but more importantly, he likes this profession. His bottom line is not to break the law; his philosophy is to use the lens to restore the truth of celebrities' lives.
Because in this entertainment industry where right and wrong are difficult to judge, celebrities often do things that are not allowed by law and morality and unknown to outsiders under the umbrella of strong personal connections.
His original intention was that he was doing a just thing.
In fact, their income was not high when they first started this business. One of the main reasons was piracy. Piracy in China does not only exist in the fields of audio and video and books, but also piracy of online novels and photography is still rampant to this day.
To take the most obvious example, a famous paparazzi in the United States rented a balcony with only a few square meters of Madonna's neighbor's house in order to secretly take photos of Madonna's newborn child. For this purpose, the paparazzi had to pay a rent of five thousand dollars a day.
By the time he had captured enough material, ten days had passed. Not counting labor and other expenses, the rent on the balcony alone would have cost $50,000. But this set of photos finally sold for $20
More than 10,000 US dollars, after deducting the investment cost, the net profit was more than 100,000 US dollars.
But this is obviously impossible and does not apply in China. Because often as soon as the newspaper comes out on Wednesday, newspapers everywhere on Thursday start to be pirated, and they call it "reprinting". Just like the current online novels, the number of collections is
The price is often as high as more than 40,000, but the final average subscription is only a pitiful little over 1,000, and the subscription ratio is as low as 40:1. In the final analysis, there is too much piracy.
Of course, with the advent of the traffic era and the massive intrusion of capital, the income of celebrities is even higher. It can easily be a daily salary of 2.04 million, a cool salary and so on. Correspondingly, the audience and relevant departments have criticized celebrities for breaking the law and violating society.
The tolerance of public morality is even lower, and these eye-catching photos often lead to the fate of celebrities.
Then one party pursues traffic in order to gain attention, while the other party tries every means to prevent its own scandal from being exposed. In the process of this game, huge benefits will inevitably arise.
In the past, the choice between exposing or not exposing a set of photos may have cost tens of thousands of dollars, but it has changed later. There may be huge economic benefits of millions or even tens of millions. Often at this time, people
The bottom line begins to fail. Along with these huge economic benefits, there are also greater pressures and risks.
It might be that he made enough money, or it might be that the spoils were unevenly distributed, or it might be that he couldn't bear the pressure from all aspects. In the end, Feng could part ways with Table Wei on the grounds that he "didn't want the results of his work to become a tool for attracting attention."
At this time, Feng Ke was generally relatively passionate about the candid photography business.
At the same time, he was definitely considered a big fan of He Xin, and he rushed to the theater excitedly with his glasses buddy. But the glasses guy was obviously in a very depressed mood, because on the way, he received a call from the editor-in-chief and was scolded in the face. Although
It's not as if he will be kicked out, but his future in this job is obviously in doubt.
He really wasn't in the mood to watch a movie, so he couldn't help but said: "Master Feng, let's find a place to chat first."
"What's the rush? Let's talk about it after watching the movie."
Feng Ke said, and asked strangely: "Don't you have to submit the manuscript? How can you submit the manuscript if you don't watch the movie?"
The glasses guy had a grimace on his face and wanted to say that the editor-in-chief had deprived him of the right to interview just now on the phone, so of course he didn’t have to submit the manuscript. But he opened his mouth, but in the end he was too embarrassed to say it, so he could only follow Feng Ke into the cinema.
.
Compared with the hundreds of reporters who attended the press conference, less than half of them actually went to the theater to watch the movie, and most of them were reporters who visited the movie theater. Those who didn't come might be to get red envelopes and gifts, or just rely on
The content at the press conference is enough to write a manuscript and submit it.
In addition to media reporters, many film critics also came, and they probably all received red envelopes and were responsible for touting the film.
Feng Ke was quite funny. He even went out to buy popcorn and soda. When he brought them in, people at the scene raised eyebrows. At the media and film critic special event, everyone had paper and pen in their hands, and at most there was a bottle of mineral water next to them.
, watching movies is also working at the same time. Fortunately, he is no different from ordinary viewers.
However, many people recognized him, nodded to him implicitly, and even stood up enthusiastically to shake hands with him, but this guy really couldn't spare his hands.
In fact, reporters like him are very popular with paparazzi who are very experienced in the industry and specialize in candid photography. After all, they can often take very shocking photos, which make headlines!
"Here, do you want Coke or Sprite?"
He didn't forget the glasses guy, Coke, Sprite, and two buckets of popcorn, both of them had them.
"Uh, Coke."
The guy with glasses was speechless, but he didn't forget to say thank you when he took it: "Thank you, Mr. Feng."
"Why are you so polite...Hey, the show has started."
As he spoke, the lights dimmed and the screen lit up.
After the dragon mark, a similar old cartoon appeared on the screen, a camera with a tripod, a villain behind the machine was filming, another villain stood there in front of the camera making a deep pose, and then the filming villain stopped.
He came down and pointed, the picture froze, and four words "Xinhao Media" appeared.
This is the LOGO of Xinhao Media. It is the handiwork of the company’s art director Ning Hao. It is very similar to the title of Bad Monkey Pictures in the original time and space.
This title is different from the common one, which must have a dragon! It must have a horse! It must be paired with auspicious clouds, rivers, mountains, and golden sunshine. The color must be bright, the soundtrack must be exciting, and it must have classical traditional Chinese characters and English subtitles.
Another shot is used to advance from the bottom up, and the opening is full of momentum. It is refreshing and very stylish at first glance.
Then came the titles of China Film, Bona, and Galloping Pony.
At the beginning of the movie, in a dark room, the camera panned, showing a haggard and panic-stricken face, clearly looking like he was being hunted and was eager to escape.
The camera follows the dark corridor, the flickering elevator car, and the gloomy parking lot, all creating a terrifying atmosphere.
Suddenly a man wearing black wings rushed over, holding a sharp blade in his hand, and stabbed hard. His movements were skillful and capable, not sloppy at all, very Hollywood-like. But he didn't say that he would kill someone with one stab, but
One blow after another, fast and accurate, without giving the opponent any chance to breathe.
Some people commit murder, and some people secretly take pictures.
When the man in black put the body into the trunk of the car, he turned his head and faced the camera, and it was He Xin's cold face. He took off his raincoat in a hurry, revealing a crisp suit.
Dressed like a successful man, he got into a car and turned on the car stereo. Amid the music of the 14th movement of Beethoven's String Quartet in C minor, a luxury car sped away.
"cool!"
Feng Ke in the audience clapped his legs and applauded, and turned to ask his glasses guy: "Isn't He Xin cool like this?"
The guy with glasses was still thinking about his own affairs, and his mind was not on the movie at all, so he could only grin and said: "It's not bad."
Feng Ke was unhappy when he heard this, "Hey, what do you mean it's okay? It's obviously very cool, okay? Look at the few moves He Xin made to kill just now, they were very crisp and clean, with the feeling of a Hollywood blockbuster. It's like...
…Well, yes, it’s just like the “Bourne Supremacy” a few years ago, it has a unique blockbuster feel.”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. A film critic sitting in the front row was holding a pen and drawing on a notebook. He happened to hear these words coming from the back row. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he was writing in the notebook again.
Add a sentence: "The hand-held camera produces unstable images, cutting into very oppressive close-ups, similar to the photography style of "The Bourne Supremacy"."
The beginning of the movie gives people the illusion that it is obviously a comedy, but why does it look like an action movie?
Then the camera turned, and in a messy little shabby house, Shen Teng played Chen Xiaomeng because his life was unsatisfactory. As an actor, he had poor acting skills and had no job. He was broken in love, had no money to pay the rent, and even tried to hang himself without success. When
The moment when the rope broke finally contributed to the first laugh point.
I accidentally found an experience coupon for the Roman Fairy Pond that was about to expire. I wanted to wash it off before committing suicide. However, I ran into He Xin, played by He Xin, who also came in to take a shower because he was stuck in a traffic jam and found blood on his hands.
The killer is comprehensive.
The two met by chance, and He Xin's eyes on the down-and-out Shen Teng were condescending, indifferent, and even disgusting, because there was an obvious class gap between the two, and he was also a mysophobic person.
It was such a arrogant person with clean and neat killing methods. When he walked into the bathhouse, he accidentally stepped on a piece of soap that slipped from Shen Teng's hand. Just like ****, He Xin started with an ejection and spiraled into the sky. With difficulty,
He fell unconscious with a coefficient of 9.0 and successfully delivered the key tag to Shen Teng's feet. Shen Teng had seen He Xinjun wearing a famous watch and had a lot of money in his wallet, so he secretly changed the two's.
key.
Different from ordinary audiences, film critics' profession is to deconstruct movies. They were pleasantly surprised to find many small details contained in the film, such as the scene where He Xin's character Zhou Quan slipped, which paid tribute to Michelangelo's masterpiece "Lamentation of Christ" and the Roman Immortals. The huge mural in the center of the pool is Michelangelo's "Lamentation of Christ".
Then when Shen Teng opened the cabinet with He Xin's hand card, the oil painting that appeared on the wall next to him was "Pandora Opening the Magic Box". It foreshadowed that when he opened the cabinet, he was about to encounter an unpredictable life.
So when Shen Teng walked out of the bathhouse wearing a suit that did not belong to him, the background music "Ode to Joy" sounded, indicating a change in his destiny and the coming of good luck.
He Xin was sent to the hospital and suffered short-term amnesia.
At the same time, another main line also unfolds. Li Xiang, played by Jiang Qinqin, announces in public in the office that he is getting married. The wedding date has been determined, but who the groom is is still unknown.
It turned out that her father was ill and died soon. In order to let her father see her get married before he died and fulfill his father's wish, 34-year-old Jiang Qinqin began to go on blind dates desperately to find a man.
The film critics and reporters present here couldn't help but smile knowingly, as always, Ning Hao's multi-clue narrative style. "Stone" is a three-line narrative, "Racing" is a five-line narrative, and this "The Crowd" is also a three-line narrative. The narratives correspond to He Xin, Shen Teng and Jiang Qinqin respectively.
Shen Teng drove He Xin's luxury car and started to pay off debts with his money. When the money was almost spent, Shen Teng, feeling guilty, came to the hospital and prepared to apologize to He Xin, but he never expected that... He Xin lost his memory due to a hit on his head and mistakenly thought he was the loser Chen Xiaomeng played by Shen Teng. From then on, the two began to live each other's lives.
Zhou Shuren, who once said that one is a jujube tree and the other is also a jujube tree, once said: Fate is not an accident. On an accidental morning, when Jiang Qinqin, who had just visited her father, drove away from the hospital, the water splashed by the car hit her. On the body of He Xin, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
Feeling guilty, Jiang Qinqin asked He Xin to get into his car and take him home. Attentive film critics and reporters then discovered that the license plate number of the white BMW driven by Jiang Qinqin was "Shanghai FB2046", which was obviously a tribute to Wang Jiawei's film "2046".
Then He Xin forgot the medicine in Jiang Qinqin's car. Jiang Qinqin sent the medicine upstairs and saw the dirty, messy and smelly hut, and also saw the broken hanging rope, followed closely by Xu Guangtou The bad landlord who guest stars wants to evict He Xin who is in arrears with rent.
Out of sympathy, Jiang Qinqin helped He Xin pay the rent, and the two met.
He Xin discovered that there were many acting books and scripts at home, and he received a text message informing him to go to the set the next day, and then he realized that he was an actor by profession.
He Xin, who went to the studio for the first time, was naturally full of loopholes. So he began to take acting classes actively, practiced in seclusion at home, traveled to various major studios, and slowly became an outstanding group actor.
At the same time, during the contact with him, Jiang Qinqin got to know him in a simple way and thought that he was a good marriage partner. She took the initiative to tell He Xin her thoughts. At this time, the two may just have a good relationship and were still talking about it. It was not love, or love had already sprouted, but neither of them realized it. He Xin agreed without hesitation out of repayment.
He Xin regarded himself as a down-and-out extra, and Shen Teng naturally moved into He Xin's mansion. If He Xin is an excellent person, even if he has lost his memory, his good habits are rooted in his muscles, then Shen Teng It fully explains how a loser is made.
Because Shen Teng had visited He Xin in the hospital and helped him pay for his medical and hospitalization expenses, He Xin also regarded him as a benefactor.
The cleverness of this section is that although the two people have exchanged identities in the plot, they still have intersections, and a series of interesting stories happened because of these intersections.
Another highlight is that after two people exchange identities, they live in the world with their own identities, because the discomfort of not being able to adapt to each other's identities makes people feel full of joy.
Irony and contrast are obviously the main theme of this plot. In the difficult journey of life, the weak will fail even if they hang themselves, and the god of death will laugh at his stupidity from the ceiling.
On the other hand, the strong people with the same fate will automatically cheat when they open their eyes, take detailed notes, tidy up the messy room, arrange the order of solving problems, and go all out to break through the obstacles on the highway of life without stopping.
Two completely different people exchange identities at the intersection of fate. The loser wants to throw away the bad fate, but the winner picks it up and cherishes it. This wonderful irony makes the movie theater burst into laughter from time to time.
Shen Teng came to live in He Xin's mansion, and soon discovered He Xin's killer identity. But not long after, he was kidnapped, and then he met the social eldest brother played by Yu Hewei.
It turns out that the social eldest brother was defrauded of tens of millions of dollars, so he hired He Xin to kill the unscrupulous businessman who defrauded him of the money. However, after the unscrupulous businessman died, the money was not found. The social eldest brother suspected that the money might have been stolen from him. In the hands of the mistress of a good businessman. And this mistress was his ex-girlfriend before, which meant that the big brother in society lost both his life and money. So He Xin was hired again to kill his mistress and get back the huge sum of money. Since no one had ever seen He Xin's true face, he pretended to be He Xin's Shen Teng escaped with his acting skills.
The next day, Shen Teng successfully found his mistress Zeng Jiurong, played by Wan Qian. During his contact with Wan Qian, Shen Teng found that he fell in love with her, so he tried every means to help her escape.
An interesting point here is that Shen Teng and Wan Qian met while rescuing stray cats on the roadside. Maybe ordinary viewers have seen it and just thought it was an ordinary plot. But film critics all know that "save the cat" " itself is a Hollywood screenwriting term, which refers to telling the audience that this person is a good person through a small thing such as saving a cat. However, Ning Hao used the literal "save the cat" plot to depict But he has the image of a liar.
Unfortunately, Shen Teng's rescue plan failed in the end, because the big brother in society did not trust him and always sent people to follow him secretly. The rescue plan was exposed, and Shen Teng still managed to escape with his own cleverness in times of crisis. It's just that Unexpectedly, when he just escaped back to his mansion, he met He Xin who had recovered his memory.
