Chapter 1013: Bidding on Behalf: "Who’s the best at honing skills? Xiao He’s training is absolutely top-notch!"
【Today is another day to send blessings to Mr. Xiao, the kind-hearted citizen. May good deeds never be in vain!】
Netizens were having a great time discussing it, but the most direct beneficiaries were not the "Yu Ye" production team, but rather the paparazzi working near the film studio.
Thanks to this surge in traffic, the proxy photographers made a fortune.
To be honest, even Xiao He himself hadn't realized there were so many paparazzi around him.
He's already quite perceptive; he can usually sense when paparazzi point their cameras at him.
However, nowadays, the promotion of film and television works still relies heavily on these paparazzi and behind-the-scenes photos. Some of them are even hired by the official team themselves. This is a way to maintain the popularity of "Yu Ye" during its filming. So even if some paparazzi shots are discovered, Xiao He turns a blind eye.
Now things have turned out well; after the incident, all the photos have come together.
Even more outrageous, a paparazzi even managed to capture video of the police arresting the drivers who were illegally dumping garbage. Yes, it was late at night, around 2 or 3 a.m. The police had staked out the two drivers at a relatively secluded garbage dump in the mountains, and this paparazzi, who was also lying in wait somewhere, managed to take photos of the arrest scene.
Even at night, the photos are quite clear: the truck driver jumped out of the vehicle to escape, but was tackled to the ground by plainclothes officers, while another driver frantically shifted gears and reversed the truck, only to be immediately blocked by a police car that rushed up to him.
The two people in the final photo were arrested without any suspense, which made netizens who saw the photos very happy.
【They deserved it! These people have no manners whatsoever. Good riddance!】
【It's true what they say: the bold get rich, the timid starve. The incident at the film studio has already caused such a stir, and the police and other departments have launched a joint investigation, yet these two still defy the rules and commit crimes. If they don't arrest them, who should they arrest?】
【This arrest operation was swift and efficient; kudos to the police officers who worked so hard tonight!】
【I wonder what the environmental pollution situation is like there now, and how it will be dealt with in the future. I hope the local authorities can come up with a solution as soon as possible. It's really a pity that such a beautiful place is being destroyed.】
【Sigh, I remember going there once two years ago when I was following a celebrity. The natural scenery there was really beautiful, and the terrain was very unique. I never imagined that the presence of these people would severely damage the local ecosystem. It's really quite regrettable.】
【Am I the only one wondering where these proxy photographers came from? This shot is actually quite high-quality, with a cinematic feel to it, like a long and arduous search for justice.】
【To be honest, these paparazzi are really something else; they can even get this shot. They'll succeed at anything.】
-
Huang Meng, who acts as a proxy photographer, is very qualified to speak on this matter.
"Let me put it this way: if you want to hone your proxy photography skills, then go and learn from Xiao He."
He pointed to himself with great pride: "Take me for example. After following Brother Xiao a few times, my proxy bidding skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and my sense of killing intent is as sharp as a god. After Brother Xiao, there is no one I can't follow!"
Oh, of course, except for Brother Xiao himself.
—Is this person cheating? How can they always find me so accurately?
For example, right now, when Huang Meng, who was hanging on the tree, raised the camera again, it met Xiao He's gaze with perfect precision.
The person in the video blinked, seemingly recognizing him, and raised an eyebrow at him as a greeting from afar.
Huang Meng was startled and immediately began packing his things to change his position.
The newcomer beside him was a little confused: "Brother Huang, are we leaving already? We haven't even filmed the next scene yet."
"We've been discovered! Hurry, hurry! We can't film anything now, and we don't want to expose our secret filming location."
"ah?"
The newcomer immediately panicked, frantically packing his things: "Brother Huang, you're amazing! How could you guess that?"
Upon hearing the newcomer's words, Huang Meng almost wanted to light a cigarette with a weathered air: "Hehe, you know that's good. Follow me and I guarantee you'll make a fortune!"
-
"It's that Huang Meng again—"
During a break, Xiao He squinted and looked up at the person hanging in the distance, blowing on his tea with a hint of helplessness. "They even brought along a newcomer. Looks like they're living a really good life."
With this skill, it's a real shame to be a proxy photographer.
Should we go and chase them away?
Old Qi asked.
"There's no need. Everyone in our production team knows the script anyway, so there's no need to hide the plot."
Xiao He shook his head, and said with a laugh, "I just happened to see an acquaintance and couldn't help but want to scare him a little."
"This guy took advantage of this hype and sold several copies of your photos. Many of the montage photos those marketing accounts used to ride the wave were bought from him." Liu Rulan crossed her arms and looked at Xiao He with surprise. "You're not angry?"
In the past, Xiao He had dealt with the other party directly at the root of the problem.
"Ah, it's probably because while he's making money here, he's also genuinely paying attention to the environmental pollution problem over there."
Xiao He thought for a moment, then said, "He probably heard about the environmental pollution problem at the film studio recently, so he was staking out those spots at night to try and secretly film something. He just happened to run into the police making an arrest, so he simply went with the flow and gave himself some publicity."
But I must say, it does have a promotional effect; the technology for proxy photography has really advanced by leaps and bounds.
Liu Rulan: "...So he took the photos that night."
As expected of an entertainment paparazzi! They specialize in photographing celebrities, and their camera presence is truly exceptional. At first glance, it looks like a movie set.
Those who can afford to eat this guy's food are quite impressive.
"Yes, so considering that he stayed up several nights in a row and publicly promised on his account that he would continue to follow up on the environmental management situation in the film and television city, I will let this matter go for now."
Since Huang Meng is making money off those marketing accounts anyway, he might as well turn a blind eye.
"But next time I have the chance, I'll have to catch that kid and have a serious talk with him about what he should and shouldn't film—"
As Xiao He spoke, he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "If he takes another picture of my Air Force account next time, I will really ban his new main account."
Incidentally, he was also the one who banned the previous big account.
Liu Rulan: "...So you do hold grudges after all."
Besides, didn't someone say that they would never go fishing again?

The online discussion gradually subsided after the official announcement, but just when the "Yu Ye" production team thought they would completely capitalize on this surge in popularity, a trailer was released out of nowhere—
Beijing City.
When Qian Wenya saw this trailer, she gasped, then rushed out the door and ran straight to the study:
"Grandpa, Grandpa, the game you've been waiting for, 'The Empire,' is finally going to be released!"
