Great film about how media works
Howard's position represents the voice that the people need: simple, rude, empathetic to the vast majority of the civilian class, and a powerful venting channel. His change from prosperity to decline is because he accepted the brainwashing of the big boss and began to value.
For the upper echelons, they require not only good financial reports, but also that the media can be used as a tool for brainwashing the public. If you can't have both, you can sacrifice the former slightly.
For the middle-level, the business index is their only reflection of value, and those who obstruct the realization of this will become their common enemy and will be abandoned. Therefore, Max was fired and Howard was assassinated - the reason why the latter was even deprived of the qualification to be fired was because he was favored by the big boss and could brainwash the public's value.
The market sensitivity of the big boss is not as good as that of several middle-level managers. After all, they face the market directly. When Howard accepted the recruiting, his market dwindled, just as he found his worth lagging behind reality, so did his understanding of the fact that his value plummeted. However, there are also capital considerations for stability and draining value.
——The media is just a tool for venting emotions to the bottom and integrating resources, delivering value, and brainwashing the public. And the latter need is decisive.
Let's talk about all kinds of media people.
Once you enter the media, you will be in the media for life. Everyone who participates in it will not escape this circle until death.
Howard, who was eliminated for being stale and dull, was brought back to life with a simple and highly operable incitement that resonated with the public. His acting shallowness is clearly in line with the public's taste, at least enough for him to eat for a long time before the public gets tired of it. . However, when he faced the mission and buy-in of the big boss, he gave up the bottom line. First, he was abandoned by the public, and before being abandoned by the big boss, he was abandoned by the middle-level powerful faction.
max is a traditional media person. He can pull an old friend when he's going crazy. When Diana was defeated in Maicheng, she pointed out the illusory nature of her life and work, the ruthlessness of splitting time and space and dismembering events into news themes. He has both insight and conscience, and has compassionate humanistic care for the real world. He has the professional ethics of the older generation of news media people, but he was abandoned by the times because of his inopportuneness.
Max and Diana had an unexpected night - the man asked for sex, and the woman asked for superiority. But after Max was fired, it developed into a long-term, relatively stable relationship. In fact, this is closely related to the personality, needs and psychological changes of the two. You will find that in their intimate scenes, the woman is always chattering about her grand blueprint, while the man is silent. The woman is always manipulating, and the man is always accepting. It perfectly meets the psychological needs of the two: Max's inability to let go of his life-long career, Diana's desire to control and desire to share and confide with others. Therefore, when her career is in full swing, he can abandon his family and his lifelong wife for her. But when she was in Waterloo, when faced with her bluffing and tough, but actually seeking comfort, he could pack up his luggage without any fuss and make accusations condescendingly. Their sex is like confirming the link with the media through each other, and they are actually climaxing in their own careers.
Diana, the generation that was brainwashed by the media, in turn, was in charge of the media brainwashing others. She has no real life, no love and compassion, no value judgment, no moral pursuit. Yes, it is just digitized by the media. Cold cuts and ratings. She is strong on the outside but empty on the inside. She lacks emotion and doesn't know how to love. She has only been excited by the rise of data and lost her way when the data has plummeted. This is also a portrayal of reality.
In two hours, he wrote the whole life of society being puaed by the media, so confusing and so dazzling, Lu Meite is truly a genius.
