Character Analysis.
The protagonist:
1. Do things directly and decisively, without procrastination, and no discounts are allowed.

2. A clear sense of purpose, and all actions are based on achieving the goal as the highest standard. There is no preconceived traditional education, such as fraternity, law-abiding, equality and freedom. He always maintains a unitary value, never thinks about it, never doubts himself. This is the highest representative of the sour and rotten spirit of traditional Chinese literati. He is like a beast living in the city.

3. Thorough utilitarian. He must have never studied utilitarian philosophy in the classroom. It is mentioned in the film that he has not read much, but his use of utilitarianism is definitely much higher than that of the professor who teaches this subject. How do you say that sentence, the best learning comes from life, don't drop useless book bags.
His assistant is a relatively sour person. After getting a little cheaper, he began to drift off. He said to Gyllenhaal that you need to understand other people's ideas and communicate with them as if they were humans.
Gyllenhaal replied, I know what they are thinking, I just don't like humans.

4. Big heart.
When there is no money, anyone who talks to him will have to add a fuck at the end. He just left with a smile.
When intimidating the female choreographer, he uttered the jaw-dropping remarks without changing his face, and the woman was shocked that he thought he was a neurotic.
The police scolded him in the early stage, and his colleagues mocked him mercilessly. Even when interviewing an old lady from a passerby, he asked the old lady not to say vulgar words and repeat what I just said. The old lady didn’t like him, saying that I never said it. The second time.
When photographing the murderer at close range, he looked calm, and his hand holding the camera did not tremble at all.

5. Strong persuasive power.
When he was silent, he was able to persuade others to death.
When he has power, he can use his bargaining chips to persuade others.
His eyes can break through the fragile psychological defenses of those who are not confident enough, and he can see through those pretended confidence. The films correspond to his assistant and the female director of the TV station.
His persuasive power reminded me of Jobs and Hitler.

6. Hunger and thirst. Whether it was when he was impoverished at the beginning of the film, or when he already had a career at the end of the film, his eyes were filled with a sense of hunger and thirst.

7. Strong action and willpower.
He said that he learns things quickly, which is true. His hobbies are basically invisible in the film, his relaxed entertainment and pastime, he is like a string that is always tense. Learn, act, learn again, act again, this is all we can see. There is only one plot in which he coerced the female choreographer to sleep. This may not be all an interest. It is part of his plan to capture the female director, occupy her more, and take away the resources in her hands.
He rushed to the scene in order to rush to the scene, regardless of the danger of a car accident, racing on the road.
Many times when squatting on the news, the assistant has fallen asleep, and he is still staring at the prey like a vigilant cheetah.

8. Be arbitrary.
For him, there is no real cooperation, only to take advantage of the advantages and disadvantages in this game. He won't really join any organization, maybe temporarily, but he has been building his empire in his mind. This may be why his eyes are always full of hunger and thirst.

This is a typical successful personality.

Assistant:
1. Not confident. How do you look like a fresh graduate, putting money and dignity at both ends of the scale.
2. There is no clear goal. When he was looking for a job, he estimated that he still had a little goal, but after 30 dollars a day, he could get by again.
3. Cowardice. Gyllenhaal was always upset, but never dared to say anything. A typical small employee who was eaten to death by the boss.
4. Laziness. You can tell by looking at their work.
5. Lack of observation. In the scene where Gyllenhaal proposed to give him a raise, he felt that Gyllenhaal had been repulsed by him, and he began to drift off, and began to vocally comment on the way he behaved. He could not see Gyllenhaal, nor could he see himself. His death marked a perfect end to his failure.

Most people in life are assistants, or most people start like this.

Female choreographer:
1. Mediocre ability.
At first I looked like a successful person, but after losing the battle with Gyllenhaal, I discovered that this kind of person is actually mediocre. Maybe years of industry experience helped her get to a certain position, but that is her limit. NS.
2. The professional ethics are extinguished.
Since the ability is mediocre, the price of getting high rewards is sacrificing professional ethics.

After the assistant was promoted, he was probably in the position of a female choreographer. The mediocre public career upgrade tree.

Assistant to the female director:

1. A sense of justice.
The only character in the film with a sense of justice is as bright as a ray of sunlight in the thick dark wind throughout the film. Unfortunately, a sense of justice cannot be exchanged for money. A sense of justice can't help him get promoted.
