This is the first time that I have formally reflected on my excessive focus on the entertainment industry.
Although I don’t want to admit it, I do have dual attributes of face control and voice control. I feel that I have really liked many celebrities since I was a child, from EXO to tfboys, from Hua Man Lou in Lu Xiaofeng's legend, to South Korea's Lee Jong Suk, basically from ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign countries, even I can't count them. Basically, to watch a drama, you need to be a fan of at least one star.
Like many people, every time I like a celebrity, I have to follow his Weibo, search for his information in detail, and frantically browse various interviews and videos about him. I also I once behaved very stupidly, watching the Weibo posts of my favorite celebrities, giving them all kinds of likes and comments. Once there was any new news, I would rush to grab a chair and rack my brains to make up something humorous and interesting. Interesting comments, eager to get attention, eager to bring me closer to the idol, or I will tell the idol to take care of my body in the comments, all kinds of concerns, and on my birthday, I may even carefully send a private message to myself I am an idol and long for birthday blessings. I will even manage and arrange my Weibo well and post various interesting or literary statuses. I hope that one day the idol will click on my Weibo by chance or accidentally. It is interesting to be able to discover that I am different from others and that I am interesting.
To a certain extent, when I look at myself now, I feel really ridiculous, like a transparent clown, making all kinds of weird movements and expressions, eager to get the love of the person I like. focus on. This may be part of human nature, but to me, it is extremely ridiculous and wrong. Just from the perspective of Weibo: First of all, most of the Weibo posts of popular celebrities are boring, just advertising and the like, and it is meaningless to follow and comment on them. Secondly, many celebrities’ Weibos are now run by teams. Many celebrities may not read Weibo themselves or rarely read it. Moreover, even if celebrities read Weibo, there will be so many comments and @s and so many private messages. If you want me to be a star, It is estimated that except for the people in my own circle, everyone else will also be blocked. Thirdly, even if the celebrity took the time to read the comments, @ and private messages, there are so many celebrity fans, and as a drop in the ocean, I would have been lost in the crowd. Every fan is special, so why should I be more special than others? Moreover, celebrities are richer than me and live better than me. As circulated on Weibo, a person with a monthly salary of tens of thousands has to reward a person with a net worth of over 100 million, and a beggar has to care about the life of a rich person. Good or bad, it's really funny. So I'm not special and my concerns don't mean anything.
It’s not that I haven’t had dreams or fantasies. But in fact, really, I later realized that people in different circles really belong to different worlds. If people from different worlds want to truly establish contact, the possibility is too small. To a certain extent, small-probability events can Classified as an impossible event. I used to be a fan of my girlfriend, but the real situation is that to idols, I am just a stranger whom I have never met or heard of. If there is no intersection in the circle, there will be basically no contact, and nothing will happen. Some people may say that if I go to idols every day to brush my face, go to concerts, visit classes, and cheer for idols, don’t I have contact with them? Not to mention the difficulty and energy consumption of this matter, if I were an idol, I would not have a good impression of someone I have only met a few times and whose face is familiar. Meeting a few times and passing by each other are not the same thing. Real intersection. And not to mention that the entertainment industry is basically full of versatile and good-looking people, idols will not look down on me at all, just say that even if there is an opportunity for me to come into contact with the entertainment industry, I can really interact with that world, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to fall in love with a celebrity. Hard to last. First of all, celebrities, especially popular celebrities, are expected to be away from home for a long time to make announcements. They can't see each other a few times a year. How can they last long? Secondly, it is obvious that the entertainment industry is complicated and chaotic. As a vanity fair, the probability of cheating is very high. Maybe the circles are different and the three views are different. How can it last long? Thirdly, many of today’s celebrities are just characters. As Zhihu says, what we know is what the agency wants us to know, and what we see is what the agency wants us to see. Yes, stars may not be what we imagine. In other words, human nature is multi-faceted. What stars show are their good sides, but I may not like their other sides.
In addition, in order to maintain popularity, celebrities now cover up things like love and marriage as much as possible. I saw a story on Zhihu about an outsider falling in love with a celebrity. In order to be with a celebrity, a girl was forced to I interrupted my ideals and my studies. I basically stayed alone in the empty apartment of the star every day. I could only be together for a limited time. And I was like a shady mouse. I was secretive and forbidden to do this or that for fear of exploding. There was bad news. The girl later broke up with the star, but she was still hurt by the illegitimate meal. How can this kind of life last? In addition, I have also been a CP fan. I watched the videos of the CP pair on site B and went to other CP fans to make various comments. Later, I was really slapped in the face, and I realized what deliberate marketing is, and I realized that many things in the entertainment industry are fake and taking advantage of each other.
Not to do anything with a small probability, I once submitted my resume to a film and television company. When I submitted my resume, I had a little fantasy, whether joining a company with a celebrity would be equivalent to being in the same world. ? But I couldn't give up my major and future. I understood my mission very well, so I didn't even do the written test questions. At this point, I'm still sober. Actually speaking, I am not a fandom person. I have a classmate who is in the fandom. She buys various products endorsed by her idol, picks her up at the airport, spends four hours a day doing data rankings to increase traffic, and buys high-priced tickets to go to concerts, just to get closer to her idol. Some students even check their idols’ flights and pay high prices to fly first class, just to get a good look in front of their idols. I can't do any of these. Nowadays, fans feel like an industry chain. It seems that fans are graded layer by layer, who are fans, big fans, etc., and then pay dues layer by layer. I want to ask how they have so much time to chase stars? I seem to have heard that there are professional fans. People can make money as fans and get close contact with idols. What about the fans at the bottom? Lose money and energy and time. Regarding rankings and so on, it feels very much like a routine used by a brokerage company for marketing purposes. Now it's like, if you don't do these things, it means you don't really love your idol. I. . Of course I can understand that competition in the entertainment industry is fierce. In addition to acting skills, you also need resources.
Of course, this is just me. Although I don’t understand people who can get happiness from these actions, but in life, it is always good to have a source of happiness. People like me who often find life boring are prone to depression.
Actually, I also like Zhu Yilong now, but I think what I want to like is an actor, not a star. What I want to learn is his professional dedication and love, so I will only look at his advantages and learn from others. The advantages are enough. I think I prefer and yearn for the older generation of artists and entertainment circles with both virtue and art. I feel that that is what it feels like to truly engage in art. Nowadays, the entertainment industry is not an entertainment industry, but an entertainment industry. It is a place of sensuality and fame. I hope those who truly love art can remain pure in it.
I feel guilty. I know the names of celebrities by heart, but I know very little about the big names in my professional field. I like to pay attention to gossips, scandals and TV drama news in the entertainment industry, but I pay very little attention to news in my professional field. I feel like I wasted a lot of time on useless things and I will correct them in the future. You can watch good dramas, good movies, and good works, but as for some hype scandals and celebrities’ personal affairs, it’s none of my business.
Don’t criticize if you don’t like it. I write this article just to reflect on myself and warn myself.
