Chapter 32: "Gunslinger Gate"
December 24, Christmas Eve in the West.
Not many people in China celebrate Christmas, and at this time of the year, it is generally to watch Westerners celebrate their "Spring Festival".
But this year, there are more lively things in China that occupy everyone's attention.
"The Moon", which focuses on gossip news, broke out a "gunman's door" big melon on the front page.
"Surprise! Is there anyone behind the 500 million supernova director? Divine or False? γ
Although it is said to be a gossip article, the author has obviously done careful research.
The article first disclosed that Dunhuang Pictures was inherited by Wang Wei, so he was the boss, but he had never had any film and television works before.
is such a non-professional son, who came up with a perfect movie in all aspects, and almost all film critics commented that "the maturity is not like a newcomer at all".
It was further pointed out that the main creator behind "Peking Holiday" is named Xu Daoxing, who is a senior director in Dunhuang.
So Wang Wei said that it was "self-directed and self-acting", and "self-acting" existed, but how much was "self-directed" and how much was "directed by him"?
In the end, it was also corroborated by the words of the cutting-edge director Luo Jianzhou - it was not purely Wang Wei's work, someone helped him support him......
There is logic, there are details, and it seems that there are well-known directors who personally certify it; The most important thing is that the protagonist is Wang Wei, the focus of the film and television industry during this time!
The topic has risen all of a sudden, and it is becoming more and more intense.
The media of all parties are keenly aware of the news value of this.
No matter what year it is, it's not news that a dog bites a man, it's a dog bite.
Many media outlets who received first-hand news subconsciously thought that there was finally a topic of touting Wang Wei that was not reported badly.
And the topic is still very shocking.
A super newcomer who has won the bright and blind box office results and is recognized as a big director in the future may be blown up? Is it possible to deceive everyone?
Is there any inside story of oppressing people with power and money?
For a while, media people from all walks of life went out one after another, either digging out more details of the "gunman's door", or trying to interview the parties involved, as if they had found the wealth code.
β¦β¦
"The whistleblower is the number one paparazzi Zhuoqun in the circle, and his logic is that there is no perfect person in the world, the so-called perfection is an illusion, and he is on a mission to puncture this illusion." Assistant Ding summarized the situation as soon as possible.
"So I'm his new prey?" Wang Wei spread his hands.
Assistant Ding's face was expressionless: "Probably he just treats you as fat meat in his mouth." β
"......" Wang Wei couldn't help but glare at him.
Lao Wang frowned: "At first glance, there is a reasonable ......"
"Reasonable fart." Xu Daoxing, who was innocently involved, scolded with a calm face: "How many people who are really engaged in film-related work will believe this ridiculous statement?" β
"He thinks that all the shots in a movie are directed by the director himself, so is that called self-direction?"
Indeed, a lot of the specific work in the crew was done by him, and even many scenes were directed by him.
But he did his work under the command of Wang Wei, the "film foreman", and only Wang Wei was the director.
Andβ
"You can really afford me, if I can withstand the pressure of being a director, I would have been a director myself eight hundred years earlier, would I still need to be a gunman for others?" Xu Daoxing smiled helplessly.
It's not an easy job to direct.
He's a good guy, and as an assistant director who coordinates the crew, he can do it easily.
can let him be the director to command others, it's okay to replace it for a short time, if he really wants to carry the entire crew from beginning to end, he really can't bear that kind of pressure.
As he said, with his qualifications, if he can do it, Dunhuang is not without the capital to let him play.
"I think it's ridiculous, but he's a paparazzi, so he doesn't need any truth, as long as there is a gimmick." Lao Wang pointed out sharply.
And you see how smart people are.
He also didn't explicitly say that Wang Wei was looking for someone to shoot on his behalf.
He's just selectively reporting, and you can't say that he's reporting false.
For example, he reported that Wang Wei was not born in a professional class and did not practice, but he did not mention that Wang Wei had been exposed to his grandfather's set since he was a child; For example, he reported that Lao Xu was highly qualified, but he did not mention that he had never been a director......
But such a guiding technique, coupled with Wang Wei's previously praised "not like a newcomer at all", made the melon-eating masses who had not seen the whole picture even more suspicious.
"However, what does Luo Jianzhou mean by that?" Lao Wang was a little puzzled.
Wang Wei thought for a moment: "It seems that he was angry at the celebration banquet, but no one approached at that time, how did Zhuo Qun know?" β
He didn't suspect that Luo Jianzhou was making trouble.
Because Luo Jianzhou's original words obviously didn't mean this, and there was no need for him to use this kind of indiscriminate tricks.
Lao Wang and others also agree with this, after all, there is no point.
Assistant Ding reminded in a low voice: "It is said that Zhuo Qun is versatile and can read lips. β
Others: "......"
Ya is so talented, why is it not good, do you have to do the paparazzi?
+1 for human delusion.
With such a handful, it is probably a point.
In the final analysis, it was Wang Weishu who made a big move, attracting the attention of the number one paparazzi in the circle.
According to his usual logic, Wang Wei's first shot was a perfect performance, which is really doubtful.
Luo Jianzhou's words at most gave him an entry point.
"So what to do, sue him? No, it's useless. Lao Wang himself denied it.
Are the paparazzi still afraid of you suing you for doing this? It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a battle-hardened.
Looking for the media to help refute rumors?
Wang Wei asked: "Do you know what the media's second favorite thing is?" β
A group of people looked at each other.
"It's the creation of gods."
"And what do you like to do most in the media?"
Now everyone understands.
"It's to pull the gods off the altar!" Wang Wei squinted.
That's the media.
The day before, I wanted to put you on the altar and blow you into a fairy, and then as long as you had a little flaw, or seemed to have a little flaw, the next day I would immediately black you to death, and I wanted to step on the ground.
This kind of process from praise to stepping on generally takes several years, but there are also short ones like Wang Wei, as long as a few days, public opinion seems to be reversed.
Most of the media are now just eager to make things bigger, how can they be enthusiastic to help you refute the rumors?
β¦β¦
was said by Wang Wei again!
His "gunslinger gate" can only be regarded as the beginning.
The paparazzi Zhuo Qun certainly speculated on Wang Wei's gold content with malice, and then did everything possible to get some specious evidence, which opened the prelude to the "fight against counterfeiting".
What really promotes the fermentation of "Gunmangate" to be known throughout the country is the media who like to hold and step on, and the people who like celebrity gossip.
All the previous deification of Wang Wei - "young but not young", "born to break records", and "incredible", after "Gunman's Gate", have become suspicious.
To put it darkly, who doesn't like to watch those glamorous stars expose their vulgar and ugly side in front of themselves?
personally witnessed the process of the collapse of the idol, except for some iron fans, others are called a cool.
This kind of coolness is the driving force of the media.
As for people in the industry, there are not many people who believe in the "proxy shooting" statement, but even fewer people stand up to speak for Wang Wei.
Why take this risk for him? Although the odds are slim, but what if?
Luo Jianzhou is the most obvious example.
He made a public statement to clarify the facts: "I didn't say that "Peking Holiday" was filmed by a gunman, but I don't know what the truth is, but time will always tell." β
ββThis has just become the evidence of a real hammer in the eyes of many people who eat melons.
Look at you, even peers can't say for sure that Wang Wei is the real director of "Peking Holiday", can this still be boring?
So it created the most absurd scene at the end of 1990 - it was clear that Wang Wei's newcomer behaved like a fairy, and his debut novels set off a boom overseas, but it seemed to be in a scandal overnight in China.
This is probably a double-edged sword that rises too fast.
