On January 6, the news came out that Wang Xing was finally brought back to Thailand. This grassroots actor was targeted by a fraud gang during the filming process in Thailand, and was deceived into a wire fraud park on the Thai-Myanmar border. As soon as the news came out, the whole network exploded. Public opinion is like the bottom of a fried pot, constantly surging, forcing the Thai police to negotiate with the Burmese side, and they have to "fish" people back.
But things are not as simple as everyone thinks. Although the person is already in Thailand, the family has not yet seen the real person. Even his younger brother can only be connected through video, Wang Xing said "safe", but the word "safe" makes people's hearts beat when they hear it. After all, who knows if there is someone next to him who has a "script" to let him speak?
The smile in front of the camera, the sourness behind the camera
From being picked up back to Thailand to the present, Wang Xing's days look more like a "scripted performance". He kept repeating in front of the camera: "Everyone can still come to Thailand, Thailand is safe." Hearing this, people's ears are almost calloused. But the atmosphere of hiding a knife in this smile always makes people feel that something is wrong.
Take a closer look at Wang Xing's state, it is very different from before he lost contact. From that sunny and handsome young man, to now with a sallow face and empty eyes, he looks like the "second pillar of the village" fished out of purgatory in the world. In four days, it is really chilling to be able to destroy people like this.
What's even more dramatic is that the Thai police officers who appeared in the media camera all smiled like a spring breeze, with a "friendly and cordial" face, for fear that others would not see that they were "life-savers".
But everyone knows what this face-to-face show is for - isn't it just to wipe Thailand's tourism image? This laugh is more dramatic than a play.
The candid photos reveal the other side
However, the off-camera story is more intriguing. A candid photo went viral: a Thai police officer stared at Wang Xing with fierce eyes, and the anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes almost came out of the screen. "This kid actually made us so passive!" It was as if he was shouting this sentence in his eyes.
Netizens didn't let go of this slot, and some people directly made up the inner monologue of the police officer: "Thanks to the pressure of public opinion, otherwise you think you can still come out alive?" "Make trouble for us all day long, and millions just fly!" The expressions in the photos, coupled with the brain supplements of netizens, instantly became funny and weird. Who would have thought that the contrast between the smile in front of the camera and the "eye killing" in private would be so great.
Behind the scenes: Ms. Kang's decisiveness and wisdom
However, Wang Xing was able to be fished out thanks to a key person - his girlfriend Ms. Kang. I have to say that this girl is not only clear-headed, but also first-class in action. As soon as Wang Xing lost contact, she set off a "storm of public opinion" on the Internet, and she put the incident on the top of the hot search. Everyone's attention was like a fire, which burned the relevant departments to the point that they couldn't sit still, and finally contributed to this thrilling "transnational rescue".
Without Ms. Kang, Wang Xing might still be drinking the northwest wind in the park. Someone sighed: "Sure enough, choosing the right person can save lives!" And Ms. Kang's performance also made many netizens call her "too sassy", and some even called her "a realistic version of the heroine". Sure enough, in a critical moment, having a reliable person by your side is the greatest sense of security.
Wang Xing's situation: forced to continue to "cooperate with the performance"
Although Wang Xing has escaped from the electric fraud park, the current situation is not optimistic. He is still in Thailand, cooperating with interviews and various activities arranged by the police. To put it bluntly, he has become a "living signboard" in the local area, endorsing Thai tourism. And what his family and netizens are most concerned about is when he will really return to China.
The experience along the way can't help but make people afraid. The sinister nature of the fraud park, the funny performance of the media, and even the competition of various forces behind it have made this turmoil full of suspense. And Wang Xing, as a witness to it, is trying to come out of this whirlpool.
Some netizens sighed: "This scene is too long, when will Wang Xing be able to 'finish'?" "Hopefully, he can return to China as soon as possible, return to his family, and live a peaceful life again.
