Chapter 91: Media Bastards
At noon, Chen Qingdong and Zheng Hongtao had a meal in a small restaurant and drank a few bottles of beer, Zheng Hongtao immediately went to Linxian to find his old comrade-in-arms who had a dream of being a spy.
But how to find the photos and basic information of Gao Yuanpeng and his father Gao Ming made Chen Qingdong waste his brain.
It is now 2000, and the Internet has not yet been popularized in a small county like Liulin, so it is very difficult to find information about Gao Yuanpeng and Gao Ming on the Internet.
The more feasible way is to get their information through insiders.
But Chen Qingdong is now in the officialdom of Liulin County, except for Gao Kun as his backer in Shuangshan Town, he can be said to have no connections in other units, and there is no one who can help him get these materials and at the same time make him completely trustworthy, because he got Gao Yuanpeng and Gao Ming's information in order to take revenge on them, if this matter is known by a person he does not fully trust, it is easy to leave trouble.
Therefore, it is best to get the information of Gao Ming and Gao Yuanpeng father and son through someone outside the circle.
But who to turn to?
Thinking about it, Chen Qingdong really thought of someone!
This person's name is Luo Xiaolou, and he used to be college classmates, and the two used to live in a dormitory, because they were like-minded, and the relationship was very good.
This Luo Xiaolou is a geek, since the second semester of his freshman year, he didn't know what way to find, using his background in the Chinese Department of Huaihai University, and began to work part-time as a part-time editor in a lifestyle newspaper in the provincial capital while going to school.
Luo Xiaolou worked very hard and was very capable, and he could always think of some very wonderful ideas with good market effects, and it only took more than two years for him to rise through the ranks in this newspaper and become the head of the editorial department.
It's just that Luo Xiaolou, who has grown up, has greatly increased his ambitions, and he is no longer satisfied with always doing some easy reports in the field of life, but has begun to focus on digging out some problems with social depth.
At that time, at the end of the 20th century, China's urbanization process accelerated, especially in the first and second tier of large cities, urban construction is changing with each passing day, but in this process, because China is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the speed of urbanization is too fast, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the interests of the common people in the work of demolition, urban construction, investment promotion, etc.
As a sharp-eyed and idealistic media person, Luo Xiaolou naturally would not let go of the focus issues arising in this specific era, so he reported on these things in a big way.
At the beginning, Luo Xiaolou spoke out for those vulnerable groups in the spirit of humanitarianism, but after the article he wrote was published through the newspaper, it caused a great sensation, and Luo Xiaolou became a big celebrity overnight, and some people even wrote articles praising him as "the most conscientious media person"!
In fact, Luo Xiaolou is only a senior at this time, after all, he is still young, on the surface, he seems to have very keen eyes, deep thoughts, and even more commendable courage, but in fact, his vision of seeing problems is still very limited, and under the stimulation of his huge reputation, Luo Xiaolou inevitably swelled!
Since then, in order to attract more attention and more voices that praise him, Luo Xiaolou fell into the trap of tragedy!
In order to show that his vision is sharper, and to prove that he has a more conscience, he decided to dig into some deeper questions!
In the process of urbanization of the country, especially in the process of demolition, there are indeed some people who have suffered losses but have no right to speak, but it cannot be ignored that there are still a considerable number of people who are not satisfied with reasonable compensation and want to ask for more benefits of the so-called "Diao Min"!
And the sad thing is that those who can really speak out through the channel are often not the ordinary people who have really suffered losses, but those who are not greedy enough!
Luo Xiaolou's rash intrusion was discovered and used by some Diao people with ulterior motives!
After that, Luo Xiaolou didn't know the truth and made a series of interviews and reports specifically for these Diao people, which did attract more attention and brought him more fame at the beginning, but because this road was wrong from the beginning, the reports he made were actually unfounded, so the bubble of this lie was destined to burst.
Just when Luo Xiaolou was looking forward to making him grow into a generation of "Chinese celebrities" in one fell swoop through this series of articles, what he was waiting for in the end was not fame, but a detention warrant and a cold handcuff!
Luo Xiaolou was detained for 10 days and fined 500 yuan on suspicion of creating and spreading rumors to disrupt public order and violating the Public Security Administration Punishment Law.
Although the punishment he received was not too severe, after coming out of the detention center, Luo Xiaolou found that his sky had completely changed color!
The newspaper had already dismissed him, and the newspaper leaders refused to meet with him, and even the outstanding salary and bonuses were withheld.
After returning to school, Luo Xiaolou received the "Student Disciplinary Notice" from the school's teaching office, and was told that the school had expelled him from school.
It was the chaos that was booming, but he was expelled from the newspaper, he was already in his senior year, and he was about to get his graduation certificate and degree certificate, but he was expelled from the school, and he couldn't get a double certificate.
Luo Xiaolou was not completely discouraged in addition to the pain!
He believes that even if he does not have a graduation certificate, but with his qualifications and reputation in the media industry in recent years, there should be no problem in finding a newspaper job in Huaihai Province.
However, after submitting a round of resumes, Luo Xiaolou was completely desperate.
Because almost all of the chief bureaucratic departments of Chinese newspapers and magazines were state-owned units at that time, Luo Xiaolou had a criminal record on his file, and Luo Xiaolou's original series of reports were so famous that almost everyone in the newspaper knew about him, so no one dared to use such a "time bomb".
After hitting a wall for more than half a year in this way, Luo Xiaolou was finally completely disappointed.
At that time, if he chose to leave Huaihai Province and find a job in a newspaper in another province, there was still great hope, but Luo Xiaolou, who was like-minded with Chen Qingdong, also had a strong factor of not admitting defeat in his bones, so he finally decided not to leave, and he must create a reputation in Huaihai Province!
Just when Luo Xiaolou was about to put down his posture and go to some third-rate tabloids to do some part-time jobs first, by chance, he met a reporter who specializes in tracking and photographing well-known people, which is the so-called paparazzi!
This reporter from Hong Kong had heard of Luo Xiaolou's name and read his articles, and at the same time admired Luo Xiaolou's perseverance, so he extended an olive branch to Luo Xiaolou and invited him to join.
Because of the strong resentment in his heart, the work of this paparazzi opened a new door for Luo Xiaolou, and from then on, Luo Xiaolou plunged into it!
Since then, Luo Xiaolou has lived a hard life for a few more years, because in the first few years, he focused his work on following the scandals of some officialdom figures, but due to the social environment at that time and the underdevelopment of the Internet, although he also filmed a lot of important things, often he was banned as soon as he published it, and he was threatened many times!
It wasn't until 2003 that Luo Xiaolou, who failed continuously and couldn't see the end of his life, adjusted his work direction, from following officialdom to investing in entertainment stars!
Because he practiced superb follow-up skills and forbearance when following officialdom in the past few years, after the transformation, Luo Xiaolou quickly achieved success, and successively photographed the scandals of many popular stars, and almost every report caused crazy reprinting by newspapers and websites across the country!
Luo Xiaolou is famous again, and due to the star-focused amplification effect, Luo Xiaolou's reputation far exceeds the fame brought by his last career peak!
In order to prevent their scandals from being exposed, some celebrities specially found Luo Xiaolou and bought the information in his hand at a high price, and even some female stars did not hesitate to repay each other for their own star career!
At this time, Luo Xiaolou has been baptized by society, and he is no longer the reporter who paid attention to his conscience, so many times he will choose to make transactions and achieve real fame and fortune!
After that, Luo Xiaolou, who had strong ambitions, left the newspaper and flew alone, set up his own work club, specializing in following those big shots, and later conformed to the trend of rapid development of the Internet, set up his own network public relations company, and set up his own branches in Beijing, Shanghai and other first-tier cities, but because of the special complex of Huaihai Province, his company headquarters has always been permanently located in Jingjiang, the capital city of Huaihai Province!
Because of Luo Xiaolou's special work, although many big people hate Luo Xiaolou so much, they don't dare to offend Luo Xiaolou, but instead make friends with Luo Xiaolou, so as not to be plotted by Luo Xiaolou!
In the end, Luo Xiaolou successfully entered the upper class society of Huaihai Province, and also became a very powerful, but "notorious" media bastard in the media industry!
Thinking of this, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh, he and Luo Xiaolou were like-minded, and their experiences were somewhat similar, they were also frustrated at the beginning of their careers, and they also did not admit defeat, and continued to persevere with their own courage, but Luo Xiaolou finally created his own golden road on the road of the media, but in the previous life, because he worked in an administrative unit, he also persisted for many years, and he also made a lot of efforts like Luo Xiaolou, but the more he tried in the wrong direction, the more he failed, and in the end he still achieved nothing and sat on the cold bench!
As the ancients said, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
However, in this life, I will still stick to the road of officialdom, but I will never let the tragedy of the previous life happen again!
