White armor

Chapter 281 No. Hot Search
Black and white style.

The angle has been processed in 3D, and from bottom to top, it seems that every hair of the bamboo is standing up, tense and full of murderous intent.

On the bamboo pole, a golden eagle looked at the bamboo with horror.

Its body had been pierced through by the bamboo pole.

The black and white painting style directly expresses the ferocity of the bamboo. The eyes of the golden eagle that is not dead yet are full of surprise, as if it does not understand how a clumsy giant panda can kill it.

Under the light and shadow, half of the bamboo's body is in darkness, with only a vague outline visible; the other half is shrouded in a faint light.

Black and white.

"Luo Hao, look! This is your favorite style!" Wang Jiani almost thrust the phone into Luo Hao's eyes.

"Oh, indeed." Luo Hao smiled, took out his cell phone and started searching.

"It's the official account of the provincial platform." Wang Jiani saw Luo Hao open the small broken station and thought he had found the wrong one, so she reminded him.

“I’m going to find another video.”

"Oh?"

Luo Hao found a clip from a documentary, which was labeled by the host as "Nuclear Explosion Cavalry, the Most Tragic "Disposable Soldier"."

"What is this?" Wang Jiani asked in surprise, looking at the name.

"It's a cinematic technique...it's what Zhang Xuefeng has always talked about as journalism."

"What?" Wang Jiani was puzzled.

Luo Hao didn't explain much and clicked on the video.

The first thing that happened was the founding ceremony of the People’s Republic of China, a sea of ​​red.

The scene flashed and arrived at the nuclear test control platform. The three words "control panel" were a mixture of traditional and simplified Chinese characters, carrying a strong flavor of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But Wang Jiani seemed not to notice it. Even when traditional and simplified Chinese characters were mixed together, she still had no reading difficulty.

Luo Hao didn't explain and let Wang Jiani continue watching.

A hand opened a box with the word "control panel" engraved on it. This should be the legendary password box.

It's very simple. I think it should be a documentary about the first nuclear explosion in our country.

Open the box, the scene switches, and you come to the main console.

In the picture, three people in white clothes and hats are sitting and staring at a bulky host.

Then there was a close-up of flashing lights of various colors, and immediately the scene changed to the explosion of the first atomic bomb.

The next second, a group of soldiers wearing anti-radiation clothing rushed up with guns.

The scene flashes again, and a house is torn apart by the energy of an atomic bomb explosion, and then the scene returns to the soldiers charging.

In the video, the scenes kept switching, and the documentary content of the first atomic bomb explosion was cut away, interspersed with scenes of radiation-proof soldiers charging in neatly dressed clothes.

There are also scenes of soldiers putting anti-radiation equipment on their horses, charging and shooting on horseback.

Luo Hao clicked pause.

"Seeing this, big girl, how do you feel?" Luo Hao asked.

"So handsome! Especially the scene of charging on horseback, it's so cool!!" Wang Jiani's eyes sparkled.

Luo Hao chuckled.

Indeed, although this yin-yang documentary was not produced by AFP, it does reflect the style and characteristics of AFP's work.

This is the method that Europe and the United States have been accustomed to using for many years, editing, piecing together, and using reality to piece together a lie.

"These are two videos that are not completely unrelated, but at least have nothing to do with each other."

"Ah? So magical?" Wang Jiani was stunned.

In her opinion, the video was complete and smooth, and it made her blood boil.

Our predecessors endured countless hardships in the Gobi Desert, and finally they had sharp weapons in their hands, forcing those covetous eyes to sneak in from afar, not daring to break in. This is how our motherland has been able to develop steadily for decades.

However, Luo Hao's tone was a little strange, as if he believed that the people who made this documentary had bad intentions.

Luo Hao found two long videos and sent them to Wang Jiani, "Go home and watch them yourself, I'll explain them."

"These are two documentaries. The Americans disregarded human lives for the sake of yin and yang. As soon as the nuclear explosion was completed, the soldiers and horses were forced to rush into the radiation zone."

“That’s what they meant.”

"Ah?! Why didn't I see that?" Wang Jiani scrolled to the beginning of the video and watched it again, but still didn't understand what Luo Hao said.

"We can't feel it, and that's where they failed, just like the Dawn of Empire shot by AFP. There are inherent differences in the aesthetics of Easterners and Westerners. Look at the models that Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts created based on Western models. They are all so ugly."

"Let's not talk about that. What I want to tell you is editing. This technique has a scientific name - montage."

"I know this, but I only know the three words montage." Wang Jiani immediately felt embarrassed.

Luo Hao did not comfort the girl, but continued talking.

“Montage is a theory and technique of combining shots in a film. It was developed by Russian directors and was extended by Pudovkin based on the editing techniques of Griffith, the father of American film. Eisenstein also put forward related views.

Platt believes that the juxtaposition of two shots is more significant than a single shot, and even considers film to be an art of juxtaposition of shots and shot composition.

At least the long shot and the connection of a large number of close-ups create psychological, emotional, and abstract results. "

"Is it the art of juxtaposing one shot with another?" Wang Jiani pondered. "I didn't see any juxtaposition. The video just now was very coherent."

"Well, it's really hard to do here, but I used this idea, which is an advanced version."

"Let me give you an example - in a movie, if you put together scenes of a mother cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of the children, and a father reading a newspaper, it creates the impression that the mother is "busy".

This creates a contrasting technique to highlight certain specific features of a person or thing, and the two different fragments are connected to each other, giving people an unexpected effect. "

"Watch the video again."

After Da Nizi watched the documentary again, Luo Hao didn't say anything, but looked at Da Nizi's profile with a smile.

The girl's face was a little red, obviously due to excitement.

She seemed to understand.

"Luo Hao, but doing this goes against the facts, and something seems wrong."

"The facts are not important. Just like the shocking articles on UC, it is enough to attract people and leave a subconscious perception. When there are videos like this all around one day, the subconscious will become stronger and stronger, and it is uncertain what will happen then."

Wang Jiani was in deep thought.

Luo Hao did not interrupt the girl's thoughts. He exited the website and opened the official account of the provincial platform.

This picture of bamboo was indeed done quite well by the provincial platform.

The painting style is black and white, with a gun pointing at a golden eagle, cold and sharp, full of murderous intent.

Normally, promotional pictures for the Ice and Snow Festival should be more friendly, but this picture overturned the general public's inherent perception of giant pandas.

Luo Hao didn't think about it too much, he just liked it. The underworld style of AFP alone was enough.

When it comes to taking photos, AFP has to be the best.

At a certain Xianghui conference one year, the AFP photos were still in that style, capturing the gazes of several Chinese soldiers as if they were real.

It takes extraordinary skill to realize the kind of look that makes one feel like a hammer and everyone else looks like a nail.

"Luo Hao, why did you let me watch this video?" Wang Jiani was not stupid either, and suddenly thought of Luo Hao's purpose.

"Didn't you promise Boss Zhou and Boss Miao that you would make a few short videos for them when you have time? You can use the same method that Amei used just now to confuse black and white."

"???"

"The truth is not important. It's only important to make the boss happy and the video looks good."

Wang Jiani did not agree with Luo Hao's statement, but the photos and videos from both Amei and AFP were indeed very beautiful and to her taste.

It’s much better than the internal propaganda picture that shows 055 as a toy ship.

Bring feeling!

"Well, I'll think about it." Wang Jiani stopped jumping around and said in a low voice.

……

……

Shen Zizai held the phone and looked intently at the photos inside.

He was so focused and serious, staring at the black and white photo without blinking.

This photo was post-produced, but the production level is very high. Looking at it from a different angle will give you a completely different perception.

However, although Shen Zizai really liked this picture, he felt like sand got into his eyes.

Viewed from bottom to top, the bamboo legs are as solid as pillars, and the whole panda looks like a mountain.

The bamboo pole is tilted sideways, piercing the sky.

Shen Zizai felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words. He just watched silently, trying to capture the throbbing in his heart.

This picture is absolutely amazing!

Luo Hao is so capable that Bamboo can already use weapons. Shen Zizai looked at the bamboo in the photo and drooled silently. It would be great if he could be Bamboo's nanny.

……

"Senior Sister Feifei! Senior Brother Luo's panda has posted new photos!"

Someone left a message in the group excitedly, and then a picture was posted.

"Fuck! Is this the giant panda raised by Senior Brother Luo? It's so fierce! Why does it use tools?"

"Of course it is. It is said that this was made based on the screenshots from Senior Brother Luo's scientific research video in his application for the position of Youth Leader."

"Brother Luo is so awesome!"

Dong Feifei picked up her phone and saw the picture. Brother Luo really can do everything.

The fierce and powerful beast in the photo turned from a bear into a cat in front of the senior brother. Its ferocity and cruelty disappeared, and cuteness and obedience became the main theme.

Great!

Dong Feifei looked at the picture with a smile.

I don't know where the bamboo is. If I have the chance, I will definitely ask my senior brother to take me to take a look at it.

The group was in an uproar, with some students expressing their opinions on the pictures used by the provincial platform to promote the Ice and Snow Festival.

Soon, the PS pictures were uploaded.

There were all kinds of pictures, most of which were funny, but soon one picture became the mainstream - the golden eagle in the photo was replaced by a bald eagle.

Although it is just a simple PS, the style of painting has changed drastically again.

The meaning of the bald eagle is obvious. Young students photoshopped the picture without restraint, and the picture instantly gained the recognition of the vast majority of people.

The speed of network spread is extremely fast, comparable to that of a virus.

Moreover, the quality of the pictures used in the provincial propaganda are of good quality, with a black and white style, sharp and timeless. In addition, the golden eagle was replaced by a bald eagle, and the energy just overflows.

Black and white, giant pandas, bald eagles, bamboo poles, slanted guns, all the elements are present.

The cold style of the original picture has changed because of this small change.

In less than two hours, the picture spread rapidly on the Internet.

In less than an hour, an unknown master took action and made the bald eagle on the bamboo pole come alive, and made some small changes.

Every frame of the dying bald eagle is vivid, especially the unwilling and resentful look in its eyes, which seems more like a kind of realism.

Internet users have their own aesthetic tastes, and the speed at which things that the vast majority of people like spread has increased by an order of magnitude again.

Then some rational people began to criticize this picture. They started with the fact that the gentle and honest style of the giant panda was "tampered with", and went on to say that the netizens were entertaining themselves, and that there were metaphors for both the panda and the bald eagle, which was pure Ah Q spirit.

It would have been fine if there was no explanation, but after the explanation was given, people would naturally start debating.

With the discussion, Zhuzi's popularity has risen to a new level. At the same time, Wang Feng announced his new relationship.

Unfortunately, this time he hit the photo of bamboo directly, and it was still the second most searched topic, but its popularity was orders of magnitude lower than that of the bamboo picture.

Even the Jiangbei Province Propaganda Department did not expect that a picture of bamboo would cause such an uproar.

Without the popularity, the propaganda department would not be afraid at all, but the high popularity made them afraid. No one has experienced it, and they are afraid that the bamboo will fall over.

At 3:10 in the morning, Geng Qiang was awakened by the phone ringing.

He glanced at the time, then at the caller ID, confused.

The official account was updated last night, and Geng Qiang knows about this.

Everything was done to warm up for the Ice and Snow Festival. It was just a picture. Although the style was a bit brutal, Geng Qiang had given advance notice through various channels.

After all, this matter involves the Ice and Snow Festival in a few months, which is a major event for Jiangbei Province. Geng Qiang cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?

Geng Qiang suspected that something had happened.

But Geng Qiang himself didn't know what went wrong.

He began to feel uneasy, picked up the phone and walked to the living room.

"What's wrong, Minister Cao?"

"Director Geng, the pictures on the official account updated last night have become a hot topic."

"Really!" Geng Qiang perked up and all sleepiness disappeared.

But he immediately realized that being on the hot search list might not be a good thing.

"It ranked first on the trending search list, surpassing the announcement of Wang Feng and his new girlfriend's relationship."

"So what? Is there any public opinion?" Geng Qiang asked in a low voice.

"Yes and no. There is a lot of controversy online about this photo. I have been following it and the heat is now out of control."

"Huh?!" Geng Qiang was stunned.

It was just to build momentum for the Ice and Snow Festival, to preheat the event and increase suspense, so how come the heat suddenly became out of control?
The key point is that all departments have informed each other themselves, and the notification and consultation were very formal in the name of the government.

The painting style is a bit unusual, but it’s okay. To be honest, this is bamboo’s daily life.

Besides, there was no blood. Where there was blood, it turned green...

The main thing is, how come a picture of bamboo has become more popular than Wang Feng?

Could it be that Mr. Wang Feng's weapon of causality is so powerful? Geng Qiang was puzzled.

Minister Cao briefly explained what happened. Geng Qiang also opened the trending searches and was surprised to see that the number one picture on the list was the picture of bamboo.

Although it has been slightly modified, it is indeed interesting after the modification.

"Is there any news on the hot search now?"

"Not yet, but with this level of popularity... Director Geng, should we suppress the trending searches? I asked the relevant people, and it costs too much to suppress the trending searches, it's more expensive than buying them." Minister Cao began to feel guilty.

He is young, less than 50 years old, a middle-level backbone, with an active mind and not rigid.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be pictures of a golden eagle being picked up by a bamboo spear.

But faced with the fierce traffic, Minister Cao was still afraid.

At first, Minister Cao wanted to contact the hot search company in the capital to see if he could buy a hot search cheaply, just the top 50 would be fine.

But now there is no need to buy it at all. After an enthusiastic netizen adapted it, bamboo’s hot searches topped the list, leading by a cliff, which once again confirmed Wang Feng’s prediction that he would be the runner-up for a thousand years.

Minister Cao was scared.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

It is difficult to handle such a large amount of traffic.

That's why he called Director Geng in the middle of the night to ask for his leadership's advice to avoid any accidents.

"Director Geng, this is just a way for netizens to entertain themselves. I'm worried that people with ulterior motives will use this to make a fuss."

Geng Qiang pondered.

There was silence on the phone, and Geng Qiang and Minister Cao seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats.

"Well, let's make a statement. The photoshopped image was done by netizens on their own and has nothing to do with us. I'll go find Luo Hao and see what he thinks."

"Okay..." Minister Cao still felt guilty.

He has never been exposed to such a large amount of traffic.

Even during the Ice and Snow Festival in recent years, there was constant publicity for Erbin and the popularity was very high, but it did not reach the top at that time, let alone lead the second place by a cliff.

I didn’t expect that Wang Feng’s perennial runner-up meme would actually be related to me.

Minister Cao was about to say something when Geng Qiang hung up the phone.

Geng Qiang didn't hesitate and called Luo Hao directly.

Although it is impolite to disturb people's sleep in the middle of the night, Geng Qiang is not sure about this matter and still wants to hear Luo Hao's opinion.

God knows whether this traffic is a blessing or a curse.

"Luo Hao, I'm sorry."

"Luo Hao, you're pressing my hair."

Geng Qiang had just said sorry when he heard whispers coming from the phone.

The voice was muffled, as if he had been disturbed from his deep sleep by his own phone call.

"Go to sleep first, big girl. I'm going to take a call." Luo Hao said gently, "Brother Qiang, wait a moment."

About 30 seconds later, Luo Hao's voice became clear.

"Brother Qiang, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Luo, did you see the picture of bamboo that was published on the official account last night?"

"I've read it, it's really great. The copywriting produced by the new people who took over after the retirement of the first generation of our propaganda department He Shang is really good. No wonder some people say that the most outstanding talents in the world are in government departments."

“……” Geng Qiang was speechless, his heart was a little confused.

"But I always feel that the golden eagle is not good-looking. It would be better if it was replaced with a bald eagle." Luo Hao said with a laugh.

"Ah? Did you read it?"

"What are you looking at? I've been sleeping." Luo Hao didn't understand.

Geng Qiang was speechless. His mind raced, and he first ruled out the possibility that Luo Hao was behind this.

It is not difficult for Luo Hao to be on the hot search list, but Luo Hao has always been low-key and sensible in doing things, which is inconsistent with his age.

It shouldn’t be Luo Hao’s doing.

After all, no one can control this kind of traffic, and no one knows what it will eventually become.

If there is a backlash, a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

"Is it a hot search? The picture of bamboo is on the hot search?" Luo Hao asked.

"Well, the number one trending search is overwhelmingly the number two. Oh, and the number two trending search is Wang Feng's new relationship."

"Haha, Wang Feng is really destined to be like this."

Luo Hao answered easily.

"Xiao Luo, take a look and tell me your opinion."

"Looking at it." Luo Hao's voice came over, "I think it's okay, Brother Qiang. I don't think you don't have acquaintances in the network security department."

"..."

"If it's inconvenient for you, I have a few brothers over there."

"I have already said hello. It's not that the traffic is too large and they are afraid of public opinion."

"Oh, that's true. But it can't be too shabby for our Ice and Snow Festival mascot to be number one on the trending search list. It's what we deserve."

Ice and Snow Festival, mascot?
When did bamboo become a mascot?

Geng Qiang was startled, but then he smiled. Bamboo becoming a mascot would certainly not be a loss of face for the Ice and Snow Festival.

The mascot of the Asian Games is Panpan!
"Brother Qiang, don't worry, I'll ask Foping and see what the bamboo is doing."

"Thank you for your hard work." Geng Qiang said politely, "Xiao Luo, do you think we should suppress the popularity of the trending searches?"

"I don't think so. Just issue a clarification statement. Don't be nervous. By the way, issue the statement now. Post it on the official account. Don't let too many people see it."

……

Western Shaanxi, Foping Base.

"Dong dong dong~~~"

There was a deafening knock on the door.

The rhythm of knocking on the door was a bit chaotic at first, but soon it turned into a drum beat, beating out the rhythm of a man's self-reliance.

"Who!"

A staff member got up sleepily and put on his clothes.

Liu Bin, with a head full of white hair, walked out of his room while putting on his clothes.

The one who knocks on the door to create the rhythm of a man's self-reliance must be the bamboo.

I just sent the bamboo back to Qinling the day before yesterday, how come it came back so soon? Maybe it's homesick, Liu Bin thought.

The gate was nearly knocked down by the bamboo.

Bamboo always reveals its wildness and violence inadvertently.

"Coming, coming." Liu Bin quickly ran to the door and opened it.

A familiar face appeared in front of him. Liu Bin reached out to touch the bamboo, but the bamboo seemed to still have some resentment towards Liu Bin, and bared its teeth "fiercely".

A fishy smell hit me in the face.

Liu Bin was not afraid because he was too familiar with bamboo. Although bamboo had undergone tremendous changes in the past month or so, he still believed in bamboo.

Facing the bamboo standing upright, Liu Bin walked up to it and reached out to touch its cheek.

"Are you homesick?" Liu Bin asked.

This time Zhuzi didn't dodge. He put away his fierce expression and sneezed.

The snot splashed all over Liu Bin's face.

Then Zhuzi lay down, and the figure of a wild female giant panda appeared behind him.

Gan!
Just two days later, Zhuzi brought back another wild female giant panda?!
It's simply amazing!!

"Zhu Zi, is this your new girlfriend?" Liu Bin was surprised and delighted.

Zhuzi turned around and glanced at the wild female giant panda, which walked forward with its butt twisted.

Cute and adorable.

It doesn't look like a wild giant panda at all. It is even more docile than the pandas raised in panda houses, at least that's what it looks like.

The room where the panda lived had been prepared long ago. Zhuzi sent his girlfriend in and finally raised his fat paws to stroke the head of the wild female giant panda.

Liu Bin was a little dazed.

This action is so similar to Professor Luo Haoluo's, they are simply carved from the same mold.
