It’s not that Feng Yi considers these photos shameful, they are not really a black spot. On the contrary, both photos are quite handsome.
It's just that the styles are a little different - one is acting cool, the other is smiling silly. But overall, they are still handsome.
The barber shop owner is a young barber who has won many awards but lacks opportunities. Feng Yi was noticed when he went there to cut hair, and the owner invited Feng Yi to take promotional photos to put inside and outside the shop.
As for the hot pot restaurant, it was the boss's wife who saw Feng Yi's photo at the barber shop and recommended it to the shop owner. The shop owner was not happy at first, as he preferred round and square faces, preferably with more flesh on the face. But the boss's wife said that young girls now like this type of face. After hesitating, the shop owner invited Feng Yi to shoot the advertising sign with a try-it attitude.
The hot pot restaurant uses real ingredients and fresh ingredients, otherwise Feng Yi would not have chosen them. Of course, the boss and his wife also paid a lot of money, which was an opportunity for Feng Yi who lacked start-up capital at the time. So he took this photo.
Later, the hot pot restaurant became famous, and Feng Yi had no plans to renew the contract, so the sign was removed and no new photos were replaced. Naturally, the previous hot pot photos were gradually forgotten by people.
It is very common to work part-time in college. Many college students work part-time in their free time to earn tuition and living expenses, or to experience another kind of life. Feng Yi is just one of many people. There is nothing much to say.
Feng Yi still feels a little embarrassed when looking at these two photos, but it’s not too shameful.
He was just wondering why someone would post photos of him taken while working part-time
After looking at the various links sent by Fengchi, I was able to figure out how the matter developed.
Generally speaking, it's the face that's to blame.
The photos taken in the past were collected in people’s mobile phones and exist in the updates posted by certain accounts on social platforms several years ago. The traces left are quite heavy and they are just being dug out now.
At first, some foreign media wanted to dig up more news. They were surprised to see Feng Yi's young and handsome face at the python hunting event. After asking around, they found out that he was an expert from China, and a major player
Reporters with a keen sense of smell felt that there was something to be dug into here.
So they asked someone.
The domestic media group had signed an agreement before they came. Even if they wanted to publish news, they would first ask for the other party's opinion if it involved private information. Therefore, the information they provided was limited.
So, those people went to some domestic entertainment gossip self-media to inquire and paid for the information.
Feng Yi didn't always wear sunglasses in Florida. When those people sent Feng Yi's photos over, many of them were willing to dig out this kind of information, which could also bring traffic.
Feng Yi's name became associated with "Snake Brother" because more and more people in this small circle knew about it, and they could find out with a little inquiry. Only two days after the start of the competition, Feng Yi made a splash twice, once by winning in numbers and once by size. With the promotion of people with good intentions, the momentum spread quickly.
"Snake Brother" has always appeared in the public eye wearing sunglasses and a mask. Everyone is very curious about what Snake Brother looks like, so once the fact that Feng Yi is Snake Brother was revealed and a full-face photo was posted, the number of people paying attention to him increased sharply.
And most of the people who pay attention to it are not from these small circles related to reptiles.
Simply put, the main reason why the topic became popular is the face with the title of "expert".
Then, the web dramas he had acted in before were also dug out.
Many netizens wondered:
"How come you didn't continue to work in the entertainment industry after growing up like this?"
"According to insiders, he went home and became rich after his business failed."
"Who knows if it's true or not? Only those with money can participate in such an activity? It's dangerous to be exposed to the wind and sun, and to suffer in the swamp? Can a rich person be interested in such a small amount of prize money?"
When Feng Yi and Steve came back with the python they caught, many people took photos. It was because of the python at the time, but now more information can be found from these photos. Both of them were covered in dust, and it was obvious that the environment in the swamp forest was not friendly.
However, Feng Yi's background was soon confirmed, and he was indeed a member of the Feng family in Yangcheng.
If you ask "Brother Snake" the playboys in Yangcheng, they may not know. But if you ask Feng Yi from the Feng family in Yangcheng, they know. Even if they have never met him, they have heard about Feng Yi before.
When Feng Yi left the Feng family before, they didn’t understand why he had to go out and suffer.
But now it seems that Feng Yi has done well after leaving the Feng family. He has also achieved success by taking another path.
After his background was confirmed, public opinion online changed again.
“Obviously, Feng Yi is not just inheriting the family business. The expert certificate issued by the Joint Guarantee Bureau cannot be directly inherited, and I have never heard that the Feng family in Yangcheng is good at this.
So, getting a specialist certificate, going to Florida to catch pythons, these are all interests?"
"Look at Lu Hai's house. One of the scenes of the popular reality show was filmed in a corner of his yard."
"I can only say, awesome! He could have relied on his looks or family background but he insisted on relying on his talent."
"After all, Snake can slide and tackle the crocodile [Doghead]"
Everyone thought this was a joke and not very true.
Others don't care about the story behind it, and make all kinds of guesses, or make up stories based on the existing information. It is so vivid and tortuous, with ups and downs, tearful moments and passion, as if you had seen it with your own eyes.
Feng Yi almost believed it after seeing it.
And many people in the Feng family in Yangcheng actually believed it!
Otherwise I can’t figure it out!
Where did that guy get his assets
They might not be able to find out about the great-aunt's affairs, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find much useful information. After thinking about it, the most likely possibility is that the old man subsidized it! Maybe Feng Yi's status in the family was demoted in public but promoted in private
Those who couldn't sit still ran to test Mr. Feng, but were met with an enraged old man.
A piece of gossip caused a stir again for the Feng family, which had seemed calm on the surface.
In any case, the topic about Feng Yi and Snake Brother has been on the hot search list. This is not the previous hot search that was on the list for a while and then was stepped down.
Appearance + wealthy family background + expert strength
As well as some twists and turns, whether true or false, these combined have made the discussion of what was originally a niche circle continue to heat up.
"It's a good thing you are abroad. If you were in China, you would probably be watched every day, and someone would take pictures of you even when you go out for a walk." Feng Chi said.
Feng Yi also knew that he had to be careful when going out in the coming days.
As more and more people were staring at Feng Yi, Feng Yi reduced the number of times he went out of the residential area on the second floor and increased the time he spent in the swamp.
Having been in the entertainment industry, he knows that even if the topic seems to be highly discussed at the moment, and even if it remains on the trending search list, after a week, there won't be many people paying attention to it.
Ignore it and it will cool down naturally.
Feng Yi deliberately lowered his presence, so it was even more impossible for him to bring Cheng Si to play with him.
Cheng Si consulted Feng Yi's opinion. When he mentioned Feng Yi in the live broadcast room, he did not deny his identity, but he still mostly called him "Snake Brother". During the live broadcast, he told the audience:
"Snake is now concentrating on catching giant pythons. He has no time for interviews. He is very busy. You have to know that real experts are very busy... The entertainment industry? Snake said that he will not return to the entertainment industry... Wasting his looks? You can't say that. His professional ability has surpassed his looks. When it comes to catching snakes, there are really few people who can surpass him at home and abroad. Don't judge a person by appearance!"
Although Feng Yi did not accept Cheng Si's invitation to live broadcast and also rejected Cheng Si's personal interview, Feng Yi said that if the giant python was caught, he could let Cheng Si shoot materials, and if it happened to be a live broadcast, he could take more photos of the python.
This is a treatment that no one else has. There are so many contestants, and not everyone can catch the python.
Therefore, among all the live broadcast lines, except for the official media, Cheng Si's is the only one, and of course he has to protect Feng Yi's reputation in the live broadcast room.
Besides, what he said in the live broadcast room was not bragging, it was all facts. Can anyone get the expert certificate issued by the Joint Guarantee Bureau
Everyone knows that the Joint Guarantee Bureau has strict auditing, and is even stricter when it comes to expert certificates. Without real skills, you can’t even get the outer shell of the certificate!
As for whether the certificate is genuine or not? Do you think those who make fake certificates dare to do it
Feng Yi decided to treat it coldly and continue to focus his attention on the swamp.
He and Steve had a harvest every day. They could catch at least one python over four meters long every day, but sometimes there were more and sometimes less.
In addition to the giant python, Feng Yi would also "pick up" some smaller pythons along the way. After all, these are also money and points, so it's a piece of cake.
There were already many people watching them, and when they found out that these two were reaping great rewards every day, even more people started paying attention to them, and every day they would guess how big a python this duo would catch.
Most of the contestants returned empty-handed. Not to mention a big python, they might not even be able to catch a small python.
These two have outstanding achievements.
There were big pythons and small pythons, two or three at the least and seven or eight at the most. This was still the case when Feng Yi did not go all out to look for them. After all, they had to be within a certain reasonable range.
If he really wants to catch them, he can catch 100 in a day, but that would be too exaggerated, so exaggerated that people would try every means to follow him and study how he finds snakes.
And just like Steve said, a giant python is worth many small pythons. There is no need to spend so much time catching small pythons. It is better to put that time into finding giant pythons, which can earn more points.
Pythons of this size are more harmful to the swamp, so organizers are willing to pay higher fees.
Small pythons are not at the top of the food chain, and many animals living in the swamp can eat them. Giant pythons are overlords.
So Feng Yi just needs to focus on the giant pythons. Between catching dozens of small pythons a day and catching one or two giant pythons a day, Feng Yi chooses the latter.
After they achieved outstanding results, Feng Yi and Steve were called "Python Killers" by everyone.
Steve was really impressed. This guy was truly unmatched in finding snakes.
Steve himself certainly couldn't do it. If he had participated in such competitions in the past, he would not have caught more than five pythons in a month, and that was based on his rich experience.
For others, if they only considered the total number of snakes, it would be good if they could catch a dozen or even a few dozen snakes a month. Experienced hunters, such as the pair of brothers with the dog, might be able to catch nearly a hundred, but it would never be as easy as Feng Yi, and they would not be able to catch so many.
"Feng Yi, please don't leave this circle and join the entertainment industry. That's a complete waste!" Steve said sincerely.
Feng Yi's talent and ability are simply precious treasures to this circle. Talent is rare, and genius is even rarer!
After Feng Yi's background was exposed on the Internet, it became a hot topic and many people advised him to return to the entertainment industry. Director He even felt a sense of crisis.
Although this kid's style of doing things is sometimes really a headache, he is truly irreplaceable. Apart from Feng Yi, they have never seen anyone with such talent. Maybe there was in the past, but that was all in the past. Now there is only one like him, what a precious talent!
Overall, Feng Yi's life is relatively peaceful.
However, more than ten days after the python hunting activity began, Feng Yi noticed something was wrong with himself.
First, emotions are easily aroused, especially when entering a swamp. The scent of various creatures living in the swamp, including Florida pythons and alligators, seems to smell particularly tempting.
The temptation made Feng Yi's teeth itch.
literal meaning.
He did feel a little itchy in his teeth when his emotions were obviously fluctuating.
I feel like I want to grab something and take a bite.
If it only happened once or twice, it would be fine, but as the days passed, this feeling not only did not disappear, but became stronger and stronger. At this time, Feng Yi knew that something was wrong.
Steve noticed that Feng Yi was a little unstable and anxious recently, so he thought it was caused by those reporters and overly curious people. He patted Feng Yi on the shoulder and comforted him, "Anyway, we will stay in the residential area for a short time and stay in the hotel room most of the time. If you really find it troublesome, why don't we try to spend the night in the wild? I used to do this often."
The more Steve thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea. They had been looking for pythons for days, and the largest one they caught was the one over 5 meters long on the second day. None of the ones they caught after that were longer than this one, and there were only two that were longer than 5 meters.
If other contestants knew this, they would definitely go crazy. After all, most contestants may not be able to catch a 4-meter python in a month, and Steve caught three pythons over 5 meters long and still felt dissatisfied!
In fact, Steve felt very satisfied before the release, but after partnering with Feng Yi, he felt that he could catch more and bigger fish, so of course he was no longer satisfied with his current results.
Steve wanted to catch a 6-meter python, so they needed more time and more places to search carefully. The round trip every day would take a long time. Many experts also stayed overnight outside. However, Feng Yi hoped to return to the hotel every day at the beginning. Steve thought Feng Yi could not adapt, so he also went back and forth with him.
But now, he felt that it was an opportunity to persuade him.
Feng Yi only said: "I'll think about it."
Why do we have to go back and forth every day? Because we have to go back to the hotel to restock!
The compressed biscuits I brought with me every day were all eaten up when I was outside!
I eat a lot, but I also do a lot of activities outside every day, so I consume a lot. In general, I am still not full and feel hungry every day. But it is much better than the scientific expedition in the mountains, after all, I have supplies.
That night, after returning from the swamp and delivering the goods, I went back to my hotel room after dinner, checked the time, and made a voice call to the old butler.
As always, no matter what time it was, the old butler could always magically answer the call within 5 seconds.
Feng Yi talked about the changes on his side.
The butler left for a moment, probably to look through his notes for the answer.
After a while, the housekeeper said, "Maybe... it's time to change your teeth."
Feng Yi:
What??!
After thinking about it carefully, Feng Yi guessed that it might be because he was in a state of constant hunger. At the same time, he was often in a swamp wetland and woodland environment. Although there was a lot of "food", he could never get enough energy.
So the venom gland thinks that the body's hunting skills must be too useless, and the teeth are not sharp enough! Nor are they poisonous enough!
Time to evolve
