"A bad news is far more attractive than a good news". This is a sentence from the male protagonist Chuuk. Instead of exposing your own sadness by watching other people's happiness, you can build your own happiness by watching other people's sadness. It is the nature of all things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and so does human beings. So humans like to watch comedy, because the core of comedy is tragedy. So humans like to watch people who are in trouble, because other people's troubles will make their dog's life look good. Therefore, when news faces crowds of onlookers, truth and falsehood are no longer important. Whether it can attract audiences and whether it can be talked about is the fundamental. In the face of interest, news has become a story conference that can be created, a live reality show that can be programmed, and a commodity that constantly studies the psychology of viewers and constantly creates gimmicks and selling points. In today's utilitarian age of numerous news media, numerous consultations, and flooding of self-media, this black-and-white old film from the 1950s looks even older and stronger. .
Reporter Chuuk came to a small town in New Mexico. He promoted himself to the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, constantly showing off his eloquence and keen sense of news, and hired him by the skeptical editor-in-chief. While out with a colleague to cover the boring news of catching a rattlesnake, Chuk picks up a hitchhiker who tells his husband Leo is trapped in a cave. Chuuk was sensitively aware of the news value behind the incident, and he quickly contacted the governor, the engineering team and the doctor. And the news he wrote got a lot of attention and benefits. In order to prolong the rescue time and earn more benefits, he rejected the fastest rescue method, and instead used the top-down method to rescue. His plan was to prolong the rescue time as long as possible, but still guarantee that Leo would be rescued alive. Leo, whose life and death are uncertain, has become a spot for thousands of people to watch, and people take advantage of one person's disaster to carry out carnivals in the name of concern. The bar is full of customers, Leo's wife rejoices at the soaring income and completely disregards her husband, who is still alive and dead, and Chuuk slaps her and tells her to put away her inappropriate smile and show a sad face. What an irony. The sheriff made his fortune through rescue operations and news coverage. Everyone made a lot of money in this scripted news event. The only people who worry about Leo's life and death are his parents, and the only one with a journalistic conscience is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper where Chuuk works. But they can't change anything, they are destined to be submerged by the trend. Just like the last conscience found Chuuk in exchange for Leo's death and his own death. He was stabbed to death by Leo's wife for helping Leo put the scarf as a gift around his wife's neck. Leo dies, the crowd disperses, the playtime is over, and all is silent. Leo used his life to bring people a happy holiday, which is his most "meaningful" contribution to the world.
