In his early years, he started by stealing materials and selling them to building materials companies at low prices. Occasionally, he was exposed to a special industry in society-independent news video shooting. Being able to shoot video clips that shocked the society before the police became a bargaining chip for him to bargain with the TV station. His eyes lit up and he recognized this line of business, recognized this enthusiasm, and must continue to do it.
He is smart. He learned a lot of knowledge from the Internet, and the company management, market development, and talent application that are talked about by people let him use it in his own "company development". He is very optimistic about the prospects of this "company". Work has become life, and life is focused on work. Anyone who is not in his "business planning" strategy that will hinder him, he will get rid of.
His assistant said, why do you never care about other people's feelings? His answer is: It's not that I don't care, I just don't like humans.
In his camera, those who died one by one were just a main part of the news, and he was so harsh on the development of the company and his personal achievements that he did not allow any mistakes or errors. So in the eyes of others, the horrible and bloody cruel scenes, but in his eyes, how to use various angles and different lenses to interpret and guide the audience to feel this fear. The fact that his works are so outstanding is not just his flaws in the emotional communication between people, but also his professional and work excellence.
The film incorporates the appropriate benefits of black humor into a slightly more serious story structure. The film is a narrative technique developed with the main character as the center. The protagonist’s dialogue with others has strong personal characteristics. At the beginning when we didn’t know the protagonist’s background story, the sincere, calm (really calm) humility between him and others had a goodwill and even a sense of humor. With the development of the plot, the audience step by step Knowing that this person is more complicated and terrifying than imagined, the conversation at this time is less humorous, and more of a kind of fear. It turned out that Chen Ken was only to narrow the distance, but the calmness covered the more careful calculations in his heart, and it turned out to be humble. It is an expression of disdain.
Our protagonist has always been in a unique state where the hero and the villain are combined. We follow him step by step from scratch and learn how to catch news. When he beats his competitors, when his salary gets higher and higher, when his video playback success rate increases linearly, this time the audience is the same as him. Online. I hope he can do better. But foreshadowed by the story, he made some dirty decisions for his career, and his contempt for the lives of others made the audience feel fear and gradually realized that the source of danger was him. But this film is handled very well in this state of two-in-one. It is a hero but reveals an unpredictable coldness. It is a villain but has the warmth that we can experience. He ignores others and society, but at the same time carries the capitalist entrepreneurial success dream that each of us has.
The director mentioned on the Q&A that he was afraid that the audience would only interpret this film as a tragedy under an anti-social perverted psychology. The director believes that it is the modern capitalist era that makes the protagonist, so that such people have the opportunity to obtain some indifferent humanity, indifferent nature, and opportunities to be rewarded. The director compared the protagonist with those of Fortune 500 companies in real life. He said fiercely: In fact, there is not much difference between them. In real life, the protagonist is the strong and the aggressor. The director of the TV station who helped him, his assistant, and his colleagues are all weak and food chain suppliers for him. If they complement and help each other, there is still room for survival, and if they are enemies or have no value, they must be eliminated.
The film also gave a very real and accurate mapping to the press and social news reports. What is true and what is false? Many times we see news that misleads viewers' perceptions after several rounds of processing. In the current press, fear is the motivation, anger is the click-through rate, and crime is the focus. What we have seen are misleading reports that have been screened, typeset, edited, and focused. This is a very sad thing.
The budget of the film is too small. Although the director is a small reputable screenwriter, it is indeed the first time to direct the film. JAKE agreed to play the role because the protagonist's planning is too real and perfect, and it is a very challenging role. For the sake of this film, JAKE has three months of rehearsal time just before shooting. The film actually confessed very little about the protagonist’s past, but based on his own understanding of the characters, JAKE made up the background of the characters in his mind. I personally think that the performance of this film can be compared with JAKE’s performance in Brokeback Mountain. JAKE treats himself The development of the film road, these very testable roles in the past few years, I believe that he will give us more excitement in the future.
Do things that lack humanity but can successfully make big money. Such things are everywhere in today's society. Some people scoff at it, but some people try to get close to it. There are also people who are ready to move when they despise it. In your heart, success, integrity, whoever values each other will determine every decision in your life.
