Ss: Wow! So many photographers!

Show the dialogue on the screen:
Wendell: The public wants something raw and real. And that's what we give them.
Kevin: Like those shots you got of Lopez? (洛佩兹,好莱坞著名拉丁美女)
Wendell: I spent three nights hiding in that tree. I picked her off with a thousand mm from 120 yards out. It was beautiful.
Kevin: Yeah. But it was not Lopez.
Wendell: Nobody knows that. Let me tell you something: Don't start sweating the small stuff. Okay? (别计较这些小事, 好吗?)
Ss: Ah? They make cheating! How cheeky!
T: Do you know how the word "paparazzi" in the title of this lesson comes from?
Ss: No.
T: In the movie, the Italian director Fellini figured a photographer named Paparazzo, who covertly shoots, even makes up famous people's privacy by fair means or foul. The role was figured so successfully that "Paparazzi", the pluralism of his name "Paparazzo", becomes the general name of this kind of photographers from then on. In Chinese, we call them "puppy team".
Ss: Oh, this way!
