The woman used a proxy
Fraud
Ni Ni is not the first star to be troubled by proxy shooting.
Before her, film stars such as Wu Jing, Hu Ge, and Yang Mi had all been filmed on behalf of her.
Wu Jing and Hu Ge even reprimanded in public. Wang Yibo and Li Xian also publicly expressed their dislike of proxy shooting.

Anhui Huainan police cracked a fraud case in 2019. The woman defrauded 29 people for more than 20,000 yuan for taking photos of celebrities for fans.

Fall in love and kill with artists
Regarded as an enemy by the crew
What kind of group of people is the "proxy"?
Why have been repeatedly accused of disrupting order?
Do the crew and artists have heard the "prostitute filming" discoloration?
The reporter found that various parties have different opinions on the industry during the investigation of professional filmmakers, film crews, and artists.
Buyer
Three to five hundred yuan can buy photos
Thousand Yuan Baotian to shoot "Reuters"
Xiaobai is a "new fan" who has just entered the pit. Her idol is the artist A who has recently been sought after by major variety shows.
There is a special folder in her computer that collects screenshots of all A's works, private photos of commuting to get off work and even emoticons.
Among them, "Reuters Photos" is the most special. In addition to marking programs and works, each subfolder also contains numbers ranging from "300-500".
She told reporters that this folder is worth thousands of RMB, and they are all “Reuters pictures” purchased from different agencies.
The number behind is the purchase price.
According to Xiaobai, A is very popular in the circle and continues to export works. There are not a few people who buy proxy auctions, but the "Reuters" price is still not as high as the market.
For example, a certain traffic male artist B and A record the same program, A's subscription price is about 800 yuan, but B's subscription price is 1,000-1,500 yuan.
The price of the CP picture for the two is higher. The same block diagram of A and B packs 150 yuan / 40 sheets, and the package is 1200 yuan / 500 sheets guaranteed.
Later, Xiaobai bought A's "Reuters" on different dates from other agencies, as well as old pictures of his past activities. "The pictures from when he was not popular, the price has risen now, but it is more valuable for collection. No one else, only I have (laughs)." Xiaobai was very excited. The proxy filming made her and the idol have a secret connection that only belongs to two people.
Crew
Although it does not affect the progress
But it violates the interests of the producer
Xiao Fei once participated in the filming of an IP drama in ancient costumes. He couldn't distinguish between generations and "illegal fans"...Everyone wore masks and gathered in the woods secretly, like hunters looking for opportunities to hunt.
But the film producer’s eyes are like eagles. Once the lens is spotted, the filming will be suspended immediately, and then security personnel will be sent to leave the scene.
"But the impact on the shooting is not very big." Xiao Fei admitted frankly that the studio has already taken a lot of trouble with proxy shooting, occasionally stopping to maintain order, and the shooting department will do its own thing.
After being expelled, most of the prostitutes will stop in moderation, "After all, everyone is an adult, and they are also for profit. It makes a big impact, and it is not good for them, but for us."
Although for the film crew, proxy shooting will not affect the progress too much, but for producers and propaganda parties who have a "confidentiality agreement" agreed in various contracts, proxy filming is a real "Reuters" for plot and modeling. Loss of profits.
The variety show promotes the reality show project that Dongdong is responsible for, and there are often flow artists as flying guests. The flashing flashes around the scene are always one after another during recording, which not only affects the atmosphere and state of the artist's recording of reality shows, but also directly causes the content of the program to be leaked in advance.
artist
"Live Good at Low Price",
Comparable to a professional videographer
Quite different from the crew’s attitude, the artist Fang and the filmmaker seem to "love each other and kill each other", but in fact, there is more "love".
Tianchen has been engaged in artist propaganda work for nearly ten years. Although he has never been a top performer, he is well versed in the way that artists get along with filmmakers.
In her opinion, “illegal fans” who are professionally filming and chasing stars are not the same kind, they are more like “fan operators” who make money by operating fans; there are also some who operate their own media accounts with more than 200,000 fans, all Real fans.
Most of the time, the team does not make special arrangements for street shooting and airport commuting photos of artists. Instead, they form a "tacit understanding" with the proxy shooting. Just let the celebrity dress up and wait for the capture. "I met at the airport, I know The proxy will help to take pictures of my artist, and after the filming is finished, we will give us a link to the web disk. There are pictures and videos. At most, we can ask, remember to edit the pictures."
In Tianchen's eyes, proxy shooting is good, cheap and efficient.
Professional lens equipment can produce hundreds of films in a few clicks, and then choose the best one, which can achieve perfect finishing in 40 minutes, which is comparable to professional videographers.
“Sometimes I can’t finish repairing the pictures of the company, so I will pay the familiar proxy shooters and let them help.” The proxy shooter asks the artist team for a very conscientious price. Usually the artist’s street photography or photo shoot, the average photographer costs 150 Yuan-200 Yuan per piece, only 60 Yuan for proxy shooting, and can be adjusted at any time according to requirements, "So we have a good relationship with them, we meet familiar people at the airport, and often invite people to drink coffee or something." Tianchen Say.
