Introduction of X 17 Society

Paparazzi -i, originally from Italian, first appeared in 1958, which means "freelance photographer keen on chasing celebrities", that is, curious photographer. Their purpose is to sneak shots and sell them to magazines and newspapers.

Chinese translation was initiated by Hong Kong people, and it is mainly used to refer to entertainment stories that are good at tracking the privacy of stars.

The best paparazzi can earn millions of dollars a year.

Informants provide information, special people follow and take photos, surf the Internet in time, and sell in real time ..................... X17 has developed paparazzi's action into a lucrative industry.

It is not unusual for a picture with a high value of "breaking the news" to sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, while ordinary pictures may only cost tens of dollars.

Under normal circumstances, X 17 will take 40% of the reporter's commission from the price of the photos sold. The source of the picture is provided by the photo agency, and it is divided into 50-50.

It is reported that X/KOOC-0/7 photo agency earned/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/0.5 million US dollars (equivalent to about 786/KOOC-0/10,000 yuan) in 2008 alone.

The income of "paparazzi" is actually a serious inequality between the rich and the poor: it ranges from 50,000 to 200,000 US dollars (equivalent to about 340,000 to 1.37 million yuan) every year. And a reporter who works long enough, has good equipment, is smart enough and has thick skin enough can even easily earn 1 10,000 dollars a year.

Of course, many paparazzi have become "notorious". For example, X 17 Argentine photojournalist Dano secretly photographed Britney Spears' bald head, and angry Britney Spears smashed the car with an umbrella.

Although these paparazzi have a pure cooperative relationship with X 17 photo agency and have not signed a contract, they are bound together by a common interest chain.

Someone once asked photographer Danno, after taking Britney Spears' bald photos, did you ever think about selling them to the competitors of X 17? Danno joked that he didn't want to be called an ungrateful person by his son in the future.
