Jiang Heng only knew from Huang Ziqi that Jing Ling was a star, but he didn't know more. Although he works in a newspaper and runs around with a camera every day, Zhucheng Daily is a serious newspaper. Its main content is basically politics, people's livelihood, people's life, etc. It is not like those entertainment newspapers outside that keep an eye on the stars' every move every day. Even if they are an 18th-tier star, as long as there is a hot spot, it will be pulled out and reported extensively.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know, you can check it online.
He took out his cell phone and quickly searched it. Although he didn't know the name, after he typed it in Pinyin, the options popped up automatically. The first thing on the page is an introduction to the personal information. I quickly scanned it and then went to Weibo. He has 20 million followers. The latest Weibo post was published yesterday, with more than 50,000 comments.
Seems quite famous?
Jiang Heng thought so and asked subconsciously.
Huang Ziqi next to him finally turned his head to look at him, but rolled his eyes at him, "I will be more famous in the future, thank you!"
"Oh!" Jiang Heng responded dryly, touched his nose, picked up the camera and continued shooting. The whale was trapped in the sea and the fishery people couldn't get close to it at all. After some discussion, they decided to ask for help from a nearby diving club. Although they agreed to send someone over immediately, it would still take time. The fishery patrol ship stayed here to command and could only contact one fishing boat to bring the people over. There was nothing to do but wait on the sea.
Jiang Heng took pictures of the whales in the water, then took pictures of the fishing boats opposite, and then took pictures of the fishery staff. After that, there was nothing else to take pictures of. While waiting, he thought that squatting like this was not going to work, so he grabbed the tall Jing Ling on the opposite boat and took pictures from various angles. But after filming for a short while, the people left the deck.
He thought the other party was trying to avoid being photographed, but instead, he just jumped back into the water from the boat and continued to clean the fishing nets off the whale with a knife.
The originally tall and straight man, after jumping into the water, was only left with his head sticking out of the water, completely inconspicuous in the vast ocean. Now, in comparison with the whale that is more than ten meters long, he looks even smaller.
People subconsciously feel fear towards unknown things. The vast ocean occupies 80% of the entire planet's area. It is broad and deep. No one knows what is at the deepest bottom of the sea. What humans can see is just the tip of the iceberg. At the same time, humans are both in awe and fear of giant creatures, which can be seen from film and television works.
Jiang Heng was like this. Even though he knew that the whale was trapped and unable to move, facing such a huge creature, he only dared to stand on the boat and watch from afar. He would never dare to jump into the water to get close to it. Therefore, he was somewhat impressed by Jing Ling's behavior of jumping into the sea to clear the fishing nets for the whale.
When you do something, when you have a different emotion, the effect will be different, better or worse. Jiang Heng is the former. He takes pictures more attentively than before, striving for better lighting, angle, framing and focal length, as if he is taking photos instead of following the news.
There were obvious scars on the whale's back, and Jing Ling would carefully avoid them when clearing the fishing nets. This kind of gentleness seems to be engraved in my bones, and I do it subconsciously. But no one can say for sure whether it was fake because there were reporters present. However, Jiang Heng felt that it was the former. Even if he was wrong and it was the latter, a person with such acting skills would be a very competent actor.
People from the diving club arrived soon. Several shallow water coaches put on their equipment and jumped into the water to join the team rescuing the whale. It took about twenty minutes to remove all the fishing nets from the whale. We first picked up the fishing net on its back and cleaned it so that it could swim. Then an unexpected detail happened. After the fishing net on its back was cleared, the whale actually opened its mouth on its own initiative, allowing the rescuers to reach in and clean the fishing net in its mouth.
However, this is a challenge for rescue workers. After all, it has such a big mouth and cannot communicate with humans. If it accidentally sucks in some water, the person will probably be swallowed.
The diving instructor hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind to help.
Jing Ling suddenly turned around and asked the photographer to throw the equipment to him. The latter hesitated for two seconds and didn't dare to throw it, fearing that it would fall into the sea if he didn't catch it. That would be terrible. So he lay down on the side of the boat and handed it to him. After taking over the equipment, Jing Ling dived directly into the water to film this rescue operation that tested his mental qualities.
Jing Ling dived into the water to shoot a video, and Jiang Heng also filmed him on the boat. It’s just like the saying goes: You are looking at the scenery on the bridge, and the people looking at the scenery are looking at you.
After the whale escaped, people from the fishery department were responsible for guiding it to swim to the open sea. There was no need for Jing Ling and his group to do anything. After soaking in the water for so long and helping to rescue the whale, their energy was quickly consumed and they inevitably felt a little tired. Plus, it was getting late, so they prepared to return.
Jiang Heng did not continue to follow the fishery administration's boat. Guidance was a very troublesome task and he didn't know how long it would take, and he had to go back to submit his report. There were two boats left at the scene, one carrying people from the diving club, and the other was the boat that initially discovered the trapped whale, which was Jing Ling and his crew's boat. Jiang Heng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and asked Jing Ling on the boat, "Can I go back with you?"
The other party was unexpectedly easy to talk to and nodded in agreement. So he took a fishing boat and returned with them.
On the way back, Jiang Heng took the opportunity to interview Jing Ling after obtaining her consent. The questions he asked were very measured and did not involve private life or sensitive issues. He only asked him questions like what it felt like to be so close to the whale and face its huge and terrifying body, and whether he was afraid.
The fishing boat returned to Zhucheng at five in the afternoon. After Jiang Heng thanked Jing Ling, he returned to the newspaper office with his camera.
Today's daily newspaper has already been issued, and the news he collected can only be arranged on tomorrow's page. However, the specific amount of space on which page will be occupied needs to be decided by the editor-in-chief, and a small fry like him has no right to decide at all.
He took his camera to the editor-in-chief's office, and coincidentally, the colleague who had received the fire alarm was there too. The other person glanced at him and asked casually, "Jiang Heng, what did you take pictures of today? Cats or dogs? Although this is also news, we are the leading newspaper in the city after all, not a small county in the countryside..." The sarcasm was too obvious.
This was not the first time Jiang Heng had heard such words. Although he was used to it, he still felt a little angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, what they say may not sound nice, but it is the truth.
But today is different. Although what was photographed is not big news, at least it can be featured in the front page.
Jiang Heng looked at his colleague for two seconds and then looked away. He had no expression on his face and said in a cold voice, "Neither. Thank you for your concern." After that, he knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's office.
"Come in." The middle-aged man's voice came from the door.
Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and was about to push the door open, but his colleague suddenly pushed him aside and went in first, saying as he walked in, "Editor-in-Chief..."
Looking at the other person's back, which seemed to show the word "proud", he felt a little angry and helpless. But he just curled his lips and followed him in. The two were discussing something, and he couldn't get a word in at all. He could only stand by and wait for the discussion to finish. He waited for half an hour, and no one asked him a single question during that time, as if this person didn't exist. Finally, when his colleague left with satisfaction, the editor-in-chief looked up at him, pushed up his glasses, and said, "Xiao Jiang is here too. When did you get here?"
Jiang Heng felt like he couldn't even laugh anymore. "Editor-in-chief, I just came over. There was a whale trapped in the waters of Zhucheng today. I received a call and went with the fishery officials to take some photos..."
The editor-in-chief waved his hand to interrupt him, "Got it, I'll give you a spot on the back page, go talk to the people in the editorial department. I'm a little tired, you go do your work."
Jiang Heng was still a little unwilling, licked his lips and continued, "Editor-in-chief, when I arrived at the scene, I saw a..."
The editor looked up at him with an unhappy expression, "It's just a whale. If it were dead, it would still have some news value, but it's meaningless to be alive!"
Jiang Heng opened his mouth to speak when he heard this, but in the end, no words came out. He sighed dejectedly, turned around and walked out of the editor-in-chief's office, subconsciously closing the door gently after he went out.
There is a piece of tofu at the end of the version. Although it is not interesting, it is better than not being able to go up. He comforted himself like this and walked through the path between the desks to greet the editorial department first, and then wrote the news after confirming the layout.
As expected, I met my former colleague again in the editorial department and congratulated him on finally getting a section. Jiang Heng said thank you numbly and turned away. I went back and forth for several hours, and after the first draft I kept revising it, deleting words and refining the key points, then handed it over to proofreader and finally finalized it.
It's almost ten o'clock in the evening. Jiang Heng clocked out of get off work with a tired body, left the office building, picked up his electric bike from the parking lot, and rode it home.
I brushed my teeth, washed my face, took a quick shower, changed into pajamas, and collapsed on the bed. He was about to fall asleep when his eyelids kept fighting each other as he felt sleepy. His eyes accidentally swept across the camera on the desk, and he suddenly remembered what happened during the day. He took out his phone and logged into Weibo to follow Jing Ling's updates. The latest Weibo post was published at 7 o'clock in the evening.
Jing Ling Tian Xia No.2 V: The most beautiful person @ Zhucheng Yimi Coast Diving Club [Video]
When I clicked on it, I saw a video of a diving instructor reaching out to help a whale clear the fishing net from its mouth. The number of comments has exceeded 10,000, and most of them are praises.
Jiang Heng gradually became absent-minded, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He reposted Jing Ling's Weibo and uploaded the video he had taken before.
Zhucheng Daily reporter Jiang Heng V: You are one of them // @Jingling Tianxiadier V: The most beautiful person @Zhucheng Yimi Coast Diving Club [Video]
He tried hard to keep his eyes open before posting on Weibo. After posting, he would put his phone on the bedside, turn off the bedside lamp, close his eyes, and fall asleep within two minutes. He had no idea what impact this Weibo post would have.
