Movie Master

Martin put the camera aside, leaned over to glance at Javier's laptop screen, and couldn't help sighing, "One million readings? That's crazy!" Martin still couldn't believe that new media such as the so-called "blog" had such a great influence.

Javier typed the last full stop, saved it in the computer, and prepared to send today's diary after returning home and connecting to the Internet. A smile naturally appeared on his face, "If you told me a month ago, My blog diary can be read by a hundred thousand people, I will tell you, you are crazy. But... the world of the Internet is so amazing, isn't it? Maybe there is a reason why the Y2K bug didn't destroy the world."

A month ago, Javier and Martin decided to change the reporting direction and follow up the "City of God" to present a real slum.

As expected, Globo readily agreed to the proposal, but Javier's proposal was directly rejected by the New York Times.

First, there was no physical conflict, second, there was no real kidnapping, and the third crew did not have any gimmicks. This can almost be regarded as a small incident of "an American crew had friction with local residents on the set", let alone the New York Times. Even some ordinary newspapers are unwilling to publish it.

Javier's direct editor said simply and neatly, "Before there is bloodshed, don't think about it."

In desperation, Javier put forward a proposal to report through a blog, but unfortunately, he was still shot. The answer given by the editor directly under him was, "You can write it yourself, and hang out as a reporter from the 'New York Times'." It’s also allowed, it’s impossible for a newspaper to help you promote or publish something like that.”

Javier had already decided at one point to give up—this was a topic destined not to be published, this was an autonomous act without any income, this was a dead end with no visible results. Javier is not a stunned young man who just came out of society, he doesn't like daydreaming.

However, Lance's breathtaking eyes once again appeared in Javier's mind. He had a strange intuition, similar to a reporter's news intuition, and similar to a mysterious sixth sense. He felt that he should write this topic. Because even if he's not writing the feature, he doesn't have other work on hand right now.

After hesitating, Javier finally made the most important decision to change his career: to open a blog and write a shooting diary of "City of God" for free.

However, with the passage of time, Javier and Martin's reporting direction has changed.

According to the original plan, Martin gradually went deep into the crew and the slums. Through the filming of the crew, he revealed the true face of the City of God bit by bit, so that people can have the opportunity to understand the real life here. "Brazil Globo" opened a column for Martin, not only limited to the City of God, but also several large slums near Rio de Janeiro, Martin's footsteps gradually began to visit. This column was very popular and sparked heated discussions in Brazil, which led to a steady increase in the sales of "Brazil Globo". In the past two weeks, it has occupied the throne of Brazil's domestic newspaper sales champion for a long time.

Javier, however, found that life in the Brazilian slums was unattractive to North America because of the two worlds, and his reporting began to gradually develop towards the filming process of the "City of God" crew, emphasizing the filming conditions here. and process. At the beginning, Javier reported and explained more from the perspective of a reporter; but soon, Javier changed his perspective, and he observed, experienced and recorded more from the perspective of an ordinary bystander.

This is the first time Javier has left his identity as a "reporter" in many years, and really enjoys the joy of reporting the truth and recording the facts, which makes him return to his college days in a trance.

Javier's move unexpectedly attracted the attention of the blog, not only because Javier gradually unveiled the mystery of the film crew, but also because Javier completely integrated into the "City of God" crew, and went deep into the slums, Going deep into the lives of local residents, facing difficulties, meeting challenges, and dealing with crises, it shows all the demeanor inside and outside the "City of God" crew, as well as the exotic style of Brazil. Unexpectedly, life in Brazil's slums has gradually won more attention.

In the first three days, Javier’s blog had no visitors; in the first ten days, there were only a few hundred people, almost like a real diary—only Javier talked to himself. However, as time went by, the number of blog viewers began to increase, and in the last five days there was a big explosion. Currently, the number of viewers has exceeded one million. This is a miracle in the Internet age.

Especially three days ago, in order to commemorate the September 11th incident, Havel wrote a special article to express his commemoration. The diary wrote more than 10,000 words. This is also the first time Havel has really penetrated into the soul of the work "City of God" to discuss the problems existing in this slum and the crimes caused by poverty and backwardness in the world. He expressed everything he had seen and heard in the past month, his views on the original novel and the adapted movie, and his feelings during the contact with Lance.

Just this blog post won 200,000 views within three days. Really amazing!

What is even more exaggerated is that with the strong rise of Javier's blog, "City of God", which is still being filmed, has become a hot topic of discussion. The sales volume of the original novel "City of God" has increased by 130,000 copies in just two weeks, and it has successfully entered the top ten sales lists of major bookstores; The popularity has far exceeded expectations, and the report of the "San Francisco Chronicle" is considered outdated. Some radio programs have already discussed this work during the live broadcast.

This is definitely an unimaginable result before the advent of the Internet!

"Before leaving this morning, my editor called." Javier put the laptop away and turned to look at Martin. Martin was stunned for a moment, as if he had anticipated Javier's next words, and the joy between his brows couldn't wait to emerge, "He said, my report three days ago will be published in today's issue" The New York Times, the entire page! The payment has already been paid to my account."

"Yeah! It's great, it's really great!" Martin clenched his fists happily and almost lost his voice, but under the sight of Javier's reminder, he still controlled his emotions. Martin will never forget that this is the crew, and if they ruin the filming of the crew, Lance will ruthlessly kick them out of the crew-they have experienced such treatment once.

Compared with Martin, Javier seemed very calm. The opportunity he dreamed of came like this, but he was not as excited and excited as he imagined. "He also said, if my manuscripts can maintain this quality in the future, the newspaper I will consider continuing to publish it from time to time, it can be regarded as an informal column." Even with such great good news, Javier is still very calm.

Martin also realized Javier's calmness. He patted Javier on the shoulder, "What's wrong? This is good news. Why do you look unhappy at all? Are there any additional conditions?"

"No, no." Javier shook his head and let out a long breath, "I was just thinking that when I decided to start this blog, I seemed to have known that this day would come, and I seemed to have always had such confidence .”

Martin noticed Javier's line of sight, turned around and looked over together, and then saw the man who was busy. Martin grinned, "Maybe you're right, we've never been the real winners, he is."

"He just has such charm and courage, doesn't he?" Javier chuckled lightly, but there was a different thought in his eyes: maybe, he should switch from social news to entertainment news, and follow that man, together Moving forward, then, will the scenery he sees be different?

Javier's eyes refocused and once again focused on Lance. He noticed that Lance stood there shaking his head and waved to the surrounding actors, and several actors gathered around Lance. Javier stood up immediately, "Come on, Lance is going to communicate with the actors~www.wuxiax.com~ Javier and Martin walked over quickly, he could vaguely guess that there should be something wrong with the shooting process, now Lance needs to get to work on the problem.

When he approached, Javier felt the tension in the surrounding atmosphere. Those children and actors surrounded Lance, but none of them dared to take a breath. They just lowered their chins slightly, raised their eyes, and felt embarrassed. Looking at Lance in fear, the slightly noisy silence made the air stuffy.

Javier realized that the problem seemed serious.

The problem is indeed serious! Lance is thinking about how to communicate with these non-professional actors. On the one hand, Lance hopes to let them show their true side, and even some deliberate or contrived acting skills are acceptable, but it can outline the reality of that kind of documentary—after all, many of the people who participated in the documentary filming are ordinary people. There will be more or less tension in front of the camera; but on the one hand, Lance needs them to accurately express some situations. There are still differences between movie scripts, real life and documentaries, and the main story line also has its own rhythm.

This is a contradictory situation, and Lance's task is to rely on his own ability and understanding to help these unprofessional child actors enter the state and achieve their goals. However, this is too difficult.

The scene just now has been filmed four times before and after, but the effect is not satisfactory. Lance had to interrupt the filming—because he didn’t understand the problem, he continued to shoot without knowing why, which was just a waste of film, and the crew of “City of God” couldn’t afford such a waste~www.wuxiax.com~Welcome all book friends to visit Read, the latest, fastest, and hottest serial works are all at ~www.wuxiax.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read.
