New project for 2018, please add it to your to-read list!~~
Version 1: In the despised paparazzi scene, there is one rare breath of fresh air.
While everyone else digs up scandals and secrets and chases attention, he plays by the same rules in his own way.
Other paparazzi ruin the reputations of one popular actor, chart-topping singer, or sought-after model after another, leaving them disgraced.
But remember Zhang, the Best Actor who was on top of the world at last year's Golden Horse Awards? Just a few years ago, he was only an extra.
The rising star who landed the latest Valentino endorsement for the Asia-Pacific region this year was just a minor internet celebrity a year ago.
And that superstar who held over fifty sold-out concerts in a single year, with scalpers selling tickets for astronomical prices? He used to be down on his luck, busking on the street.
Then there are all those hot new stars, Kuaishou streamers, major Weibo influencers...
Xi Mingbo: Can you say something useful?
Gossip-loving assistant: Brother Xiao Ming, you should let him dig up dirt on you too. Then we'll have money for food next month. T.T
Version 2: They used to sleep with famous directors, producers, and investors to get famous. Now they all bring their scandals to the paparazzi.
And he's a paparazzo who works when he feels like it, slacking off more often than not, and vanishing more mysteriously than anyone.
Qi Mengli hangs up one call after another, unwilling to hear the same old stories about buying online trolls, crafting public images, and framing one another. He simply wants to break a scandal and expose someone...
So who the hell are you, camping outside my door more eagerly than I do?!
Xi Mingbo: Huh? You mean me?
