Of course, unlike Conan, he doesn't care about the truth, he only cares about the scene-the scene that can be sold at a good price.
When I was watching the fourth season of "The Walking Dead", in order to find out the Governor's temperament, I read a book called "Why Crazy People Are Easier to Succeed than Normal People". In fact, this is a research sharing on decoding the unique personality characteristics, thinking styles and behavior patterns of mental patients. What's interesting is that many of the descriptions of mentally ill people in it are quite consistent when used on Louis.
"Mentally ill people are very intelligent. Their main characteristics are lack of emotion, no sense of shame, self-centeredness, attractive appearance, lack of guilt, no sense of anxiety, recklessness, capriciousness, irresponsibility, strong desire for manipulation, and interpersonal The relationship is impermanent... The most fundamental and crucial difference between a mentally ill personality and a'normal' personality is that the mentally ill person doesn't care how people around them or even the whole society sees them."
And the "three dark personalities" mentioned in the book——
Highly confident, narcissistic;
psychopathic fearlessness, coldness, impulsivity and thirst for excitement;
fraud and use of Machiavellianism (unscrupulous means to achieve ends)-more
clearly shows the character of Louis (interestingly, Bang Dejun is also a typical representative of the three dark characters).
There is no doubt that this man is a typical psychopath.
Before watching the movie, the film was supposed to be a story related to journalistic ethics, value ethics, and the bottom line of human nature. The protagonist may be entangled in it, and finally returned to the traditional Hollywood ending category. However, after reading it, I realized that this is a story that is black to the end—no entanglement, no blackening, and nothing. From the beginning to the end, Louis is a "Hannibal of the press." He is very clear about what he wants, and uses his "morbid" strong mental power to drive himself to pursue his goals without hesitation. There is no moral judgment, there is no should or not. When a female news director bought his work for the first time and said "You are very talented", it was doomed to two things: First, the "psychopathy" in his body found the best release "inadvertently" Channel; second, he will conquer this woman who "appreciates (sees him inside)".
And in order to get higher rewards, all his actions have also applied for a theory mentioned in the book again and again-"If you can'get rid' of a certain situation and get rewards, the mentally ill will strive for it. Regardless of the risks or negative effects, they can not only remain calm when they are threatened and encounter difficulties, but under the shadow of bad omen, they will become focused like lasers and will'do their best '".
So the scary thing about this movie is not that human nature degenerates after facing things like blablabla, but that it directly brought out a "psychiatric person" and put him in the mass media-yes no Wrong, [the news orientation of the so-called "normal people" is indistinguishable from mental illness]. This is the most ironic reality of this movie.
When Louis moved the corpse to "manufacture the scene" to find the best shooting angle, when he passed by the wounded, he did not reach out to help but took pictures of his breathlessness, when he touched his fellow car and said, "He is my material now. "When he designed a street shootout and then smoothly eliminated his own employees... His morbidity allowed him to catch the hot spots smoothly. By coincidence, these are the hot news that the TV news directors "like to hear and see". The after-dinner talk that the audience needs most.
At the end of the film, his dying staff stared at him in disbelief, crossed the display, and hit the flirting female director and Louise. The irony was obvious-the bursting point drove away the pee and the point of hitting you and me. High point. The audience's gaze caught the glare of death on the screen. Are they shocked? No, when you witness a complete "new creation" you will find that you have always been an indispensable part of the "new creation".
People who work in the media describe when there is no big news in a day, it is called "light." If there is news that stimulates the eyeballs and stimulates adrenaline, it is called "spicy, or "spicy (fishy) spicy". Sometimes, when the news is very ""light", or even "fading out a bird", we must find ways to add seasonings to make it "spicy". The more "spicy" the fresher, the better. Because readers love this. It’s not good if the title is not strong enough, and the content is not explicit enough. All in all, on the edge of value and ethics, "Farewell My Concubine" or "Farewell My Concubine" is jumped up. Once done, it's like an article, Chen He's "See you in Zhou X", they will become talks, and they will continue to be mentioned. can not do well? It doesn't matter, readers don't remember it anyway, and they will forget it after two days. In the short term, the "candid photo of the remains incident" is a typical example of "not doing a good job."
In the face of the tumultuous masses and media, what went wrong? Is the media's setting agenda ("Agenda Setting"? Sorry for not finding a suitable Chinese word) that distorts the audience's bottom line, or is the audience's taste creating reporters who wait for vultures to pounce on babies who are about to die? This kind of chicken-and-egg-chicken problem can’t be explained in a hundred thousand words.
Some time ago, there was a person like Louis in the popular Korean drama "Pinocchio"-the heroine's mother, the female news anchor of M station. She is also a person who struggles to "make" news: kneeling in the water, buying children's shoes, wearing a mask... She exaggerates the facts within the "reasonable" range, and satisfies the viewers' needs for hardship, sympathy, and empathy. . However, she is not Louis, and Korean drama is not a movie. Therefore, she finally reflected on the confession and knew "what is a reporter", and our Lord Louis, directly started the company, and marched on the road of "creating new" where there is no hottest but only hotter.
After all, how much of the news we come into contact with every day is not "designed"?
Louis said that everything he knew was obtained from the Internet, it seems, learned, and the bargaining chip he used to blackmail others was also judged from the massive amount of information (the book also mentioned that "right" For a liar, the most important thing is to have a strong judgment, he can accurately detect the weakness of others."). This kind of judgment is like a knife, which can be used to cook or kill people. In this era, there is no lack of information, what is lacking is the judgment of information. In fact, most of the audience tends to agree with others, lacking the most basic judgment, and can only become a node for boring information forwarding. And it is often this kind of forwarding that lacks judgment that has become a booster for the uproar of the mass media. This is really a very interesting topic.
The male protagonist is set as a mentally ill villain who is "born with moral depravity", but he is a "Nightcrawler" and "Hannibal" who are most suitable for wandering in this era. The horror is not the silent lamb, but the thousand Thousands of viewers in front of the TV or keyboard warriors in front of the computer that he didn't know he was pushing.
Where is the problem?
