Chapter 429 Dreams and Salted Fish
"What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish!" Since the first time I saw Stephen Chow's comedy king, this sentence has become Xiaowei's lifelong motto. If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely to become his epitaph in the future.
Xiaowei is a reporter, but unlike those reporters who go to high-end places all day long and are good at interacting with various high-class people, his main job is to hold a camera, a video recorder, or a digital camera that can record and take photos, wear clothes that are not easy to attract attention, follow the celebrities who are concerned about, take photos that can attract media attention, and then sell them at a high price, so as to make a profit.
You should understand when you hear this. Xiaowei’s true identity is actually a paparazzi, and he is not a paparazzi from an entertainment magazine, but a private paparazzi who sells news alone.
To put it bluntly, he is not a public official, but a self-employed person. The two are similar to the mainstream crosstalk world and the non-mainstream crosstalk world.
Although she is just an unknown paparazzi, Xiaowei also has his own dream. His dream is to become an excellent paparazzi. Well, I admit that it seems a bit nonsense to say this, but Xiaowei really has his own goal. His goal is to set up a private paparazzi organization like 17 Picture Club.
Many people in the 17 Picture Club know that it is a very famous paparazzi organization in the UK who has exposed a lot of big news. Of course, their way of venting news is not to expose the news themselves, but to get photos or videos and resell them to the media at a high price.
17 has made a lot of money in recent years. They have their own helicopter guards, which are specially established to prevent and control paparazzi from secretly shooting news. Of course, it is also for the convenience of secretly shooting.
Everyone should have heard of the biggest news about 17, that is, the residence of the Queen of England, which is not open to the public, and various protection and security measures are also very complete.
However, in such a vigilant Buckingham Palace, in just seven years, the 17 paparazzi successfully sneaked in four times. Although they were arrested shortly after entering one of the four times, the other three paparazzi safely entered the queen's bedroom. After secretly taking photos of the queen, they quietly left and finally sold the news. Of course, they were mainly sold to the unconventional Sun.
This story sounds easy, but the thin silk is extremely terrifying. Paparazzi can escape layers of security and sneak into Buckingham Palace to take photos of the queen at close range or even close range. What if they are not holding a camera but a pistol? Then this matter will be lively.
This kind of behavior is like an ordinary person who escaped the blockade of the 8143 troops, entered Zhongnanhai, and finally appeared in front of the President. It is almost impossible.
However, several paparazzi did this impossible thing, and it did it three times in just a few years.
If foreign stories are a little far away from us, then they have also exposed news related to our country.
Do you remember that Jin Zhang and Wang Banbi had dated the boyfriend of a wealthy American businessman before they were together? At that time, the two were still photographed by paparazzi on the beach somewhere and wearing very simple clothes.
And these photos were taken 17 and sold to the Sun for tens of thousands of pounds each. From this we can draw a conclusion that the Sun is really rushing
In any case, 17's ability is unquestionable, and Xiaowei's dream is to become a paparazzi like them.
However, this is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do. From graduating from college five years ago to now, Xiaowei has almost become Laowei, but his career has not improved much.
It cannot be said that his work has not improved. In fact, he is quite hardworking and has also created a little fame. The main reason is that paparazzi has no market in China.
Photos of a foreign star can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars at will, and fortunately, many media are rushing to buy them.
But it is not possible in China. The grandsons who sold a photo for 200 yuan started bargaining. Not only were they bargaining, but they were more reliable. What really made people feel very angry was that the photos were sent, but when they were paid, the other party decisively refused.
If you care about their money, they will even threaten you, "Boy, don't you want to get into trouble. Don't you know that our newspaper is a state-owned enterprise? Believe it or not, I'll find a reason to say that you steal state secrets and keep you for a year or two, and ask you to ask for money in the police station?"
It is said that the people do not fight with officials. Faced with this situation, Xiaowei usually has to admit defeat in the end. And the great paparazzi market in his heart is ruined by these unruly goods.
Although his dream is still far away, Xiaowei never thought of giving up. He firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, there would always be rewards. As the saying goes, there will be resounding when he never forgets.
Recently, Xiaowei has been hospitalized. Acute cholecystitis is not a serious illness, but it really makes people die when it hurts. Fortunately, after staying in the hospital for a few days, his body has finally relieved a lot. Xiaowei is a person who cannot stay idle, otherwise he would not have gone to be a paparazzi. After his health has improved, he has become uninhibited again.
As a result, this unintentional problem brought him good luck and opportunities. One day when he was walking in the small park next to the hospital, he accidentally discovered Mr. Liu La and Mr. Zhang Wenshun. The two of them were talking about something next to the pavilion in the park, and they talked for two hours before returning to the hospital.
Although the two had already disguised themselves, Xiaowei was a paparazzi after all, and such low-end disguise could never be hidden from him. Moreover, it was no longer a secret that Liu La and Mr. Zhang were about to participate in the Spring Festival Gala at this time. Out of the sensitivity of the journalists, he thought of another question. They were not talking about the Spring Festival Gala performances in more than an hour, right?
Thinking of this, Xiaowei became excited and seemed to have even receded a lot of illness. Next, Xiaowei followed up for two more days, but found that during these two days, Liu La and Mr. Zhang would go to the pavilion in the park every day to talk to each other. On the third day, before they arrived, Xiaowei quietly hid the recording equipment under the stone bench in the park and to be continued.
