Why are you paying?

First of all, for some people, maybe this is a pretty good subject, but as far as I'm concerned, it's just me, so I think it's too outdated. As with previous films about the winners of the porn industry, this film is just under the cloak of the Internet. But basically it has nothing to do with the Internet, it is a little dull, only nonsense fighting, no sense of humor, not compact plot, not wonderful performances, not even a few XXOO shots, very boring, and most importantly, no one likes two lunatics. These are two real boring fools, not cute at all, no matter how lucky and rich they are.

But conversely, this film may still be more than 30 years early for the Chinese. So, I will start with the previous one. Oh, I almost forgot. Let me talk about this boring plot first. Two foolish fools suddenly wanted to provide pornographic images on the Internet for paid downloads. They caused trouble because the partner was a Russian. They found it through a lawyer. A half-way monk who is good at helping people solve problems, but an accident occurs during the resolution process. They become grasshoppers on a string, and temporary cooperation becomes lifelong partners... The

first type of person:

people need to spend money while they are alive. But why are you paying? Needless to say, for the rich, today's stock market rose sharply and touched the 3,000-point mark again. That was because the government restricted the purchase of houses, forcing funds to return to the stock market. Of course, the media is also very important. Brainwashing the public, whether it is Wanda, L'Oréal Paris, Liby, Qingyang, Gucci, Moutai, BMW, or the counterfeit and shoddy stalls on the roadside, why would you pay for these items?

What is the difference between genuine, high-defense, fake and fake? If the value is a brand, then the brand is actually a nihilistic thing. The nihilistic thing generates value, either by trust or by art. However, there is a unity of art, but the goods are in batches. No matter how good the leather is and the use Materials and production techniques, and can not sell bags at that price, I can only say that for luxury goods, the display of my heart has long surpassed the practicality of the product, or that the product itself has no practicality to say.

So why do such people pay? Face, or taste, or a sense of superiority, all values ​​are embodied by money.

The second kind of people:

The aunt who buys vegetables in the morning market, and the crowd in the supermarket lined up in Erlidi because of the special egg price, why do they pay? Cheap. Tomatoes sold in piles may be picked up after returning home. You may want to throw half of them. But when you talk about it, I always feel that I have taken a huge advantage. It is not a bitch, because a discounted book
can be purchased without postage. 4 unnecessary books.

The interesting part of the market is that a commodity has a market because of a discount. What's more interesting is that the value of this commodity is sold in different places, resulting in a different price. A bottle of 100-capsules of deep-sea fish oil leaves the factory for less than 7 The price difference will be several times because of the different brands and sales channels. The result is not because of your own needs, but because the huge price difference of the product makes you feel that you are taking a lot of money. Buy.

Why do such people pay? Psychology, the psychology of taking advantage, the psychology of feeling smart.


The above is all nonsense, as boring as this film...


Let's go back to the original question, why would you pay? You can't afford a pack of 10,000, but it's not that you can't buy it. You can't buy a bunch of rotten tomatoes for 5 yuan, but you may not be able to find it, and you may not be able to buy it. But there are some things that you might not be able to buy when you have money. From the earliest days when goods were scarce, you could buy with a ticket, and later you carried color TVs abroad. Now we can basically buy them, and some are reasonable. Prices, some are outrageous prices.

It takes 20 years of salary to buy a house, but you can buy it. You may not be able to buy a train ticket for the Spring Festival. A genuine pornographic DVD, you must not be able to buy it in China. Does that mean that DVDs that cannot be bought with money are the most valuable? Of course, if there is no network.

Based on the Chinese people’s mentality of taking advantage, P2P sharing has made a big splash in China. Except for some big fools around 40 who don’t know anything about online search engines, they are tricked into paying by passion chat room advertisements. Of course, they are compared to Malu. The fool who spends 20 yuan to buy VCD DVDs is much smarter.

There should be a lot of these plots in the movie before 2008. At that time, the management of the Internet was not so strict, especially the pornographic forums. Let’s talk about an example. Netizens I know on the Internet. In 2006, I became a video download station. I paid 30 yuan for a mobile phone for life and made 100,000 net profits in three months. All he did was link the seeds of major BT websites. .

What will you pay for? Someone buys a 30-yuan counterfeit brand-name vest on the side of the road. It may be a special price of 28 for genuine in brand stores, 18 for a bottle of 2.5-liter Coke on the Internet, and a special price for supermarkets for RMB 3 for 9 and convenience stores for RMB 5 for a remote country. Maybe 7 yuan, maybe it's still fake. Why, things are rare and expensive? This is also the sales method of real estate agents and the sales method of movie tickets. Too many commodities in our society deviate from value.

But fortunately, we have the Internet. This is another world. Fortunately, there are many live Lei Feng on the Internet. They borrowed AV to upload to the Internet in Japan. Some people Lei Feng compressed him into various formats. They recorded episode after episode in Korea. The Korean dramas were posted on the Internet, and the major subtitle groups were translated overnight. These Chinese people, all over the world, gave us a different world. This world is free from Chinese traditions, from the tragic reality, from the boringness of life, from the tedious work, everyone who is addicted to the Internet is beyond the disgusting reality, they are like practitioners, spiritually.

What will you pay for? Those who can’t be bought in reality, QQ members, Thunder members, starting point reading, ringtone downloads, and naturally also include AV, but now it’s good. Compared with movie performances, we have no legitimate payment channels because BT is constantly being used. The forum website has been blocked again and again. In the past two years, online storage has become popular, with better privacy and longer timeliness than P2P. Movies are even two centuries behind us...Now we pay for it.


PS: I can only think that I have never written this article before, and it sucks!

You pay for different products at different stages of your life, but most of the time, you still don’t know why you paid, at least not because of your body’s instinctive desires.

Only the first commentary about flying in the film is the essence, yes, the essence.

Middle Men quotes

  • Audrey Dawns: I think there's just too much emphasis on guilt. All this guilt, guilt, guilt. Guilt for what? I'll bet if you ask any old timer in one of those old folks homes, they'd tell you they regret the stuff they didn't do. Not the stuff that they did do.
