From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Yi Jing took the teapot and filled Ding Zhi's empty teacup again, as if she was willing to listen to his details.

“If we really need to trace the complex relationship between our domestic entertainment idols and their fans to its roots, it is actually taking over the ‘rice circle culture’ and ‘celebrity marketing’ from Japan and South Korea next door almost intact.

"

"You know about rankings, right?"

Ding Zhi Tanxing also came. In other words, by agreeing to be interviewed this time, he actually wanted to take the opportunity to express some of his thoughts to the outside world.

"Of course I know."

Yi Jing nodded, and unknowingly, the rhythm of the interview seemed to be controlled by Ding Zhi bit by bit.

"I asked someone to find out about it, and found that it was like a chart-topping operation where idols had to buy many copies of their albums. In fact, it first appeared among the otaku group in Neon next door.

And for example, the series of operations and speech techniques used by our current idol stars from selection, to increasing fans, maintaining fans, abuse fans, and then washing fans, and refining them, actually all come from the Japan and South Korea area next door."

"Have you ever wondered why this happens?"

Yi Jing raised her glasses again curiously.

"Because for capital, there is nothing simpler and more efficient than using doctrine. In a very short period of time, you can make a lot of money, and it's just a wave of fat."

When Ding Zhi said this, he smiled again and said, "Can this be broadcast? Hey, forget it, it's already started. If it can't be broadcast, then you can pinch it off."

"So in your opinion, what is the relationship between fans and idols like?"

"In my opinion, the influence between idols and fans is actually mutual. By the way, isn't there a popular word now, called PUA! In my personal opinion, irrational star chasing actually often stems from the direct or indirect direct or indirect influence of idols on

Fans’ collective PUA.”

At this moment, Yi Jing also raised her eyebrows in surprise.

After all, if this was said by ordinary people, it might not be surprising, but if it was said by a hot young star, it would not be too inconsistent.

You know, Ding Zhi came from the talent show stage back then, so his words undoubtedly scolded himself.

"PUA? This is a pretty serious 'accusation'. What led you to such a conclusion?"

"Just like when some colleagues release new albums, they will even form some unspoken rules, that is, they must buy as many albums as they want. If you only buy one or two albums, you are not qualified to be a fan. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the fandom.

Class operations, in fact, are already typical PUA methods."

"What you said is quite new."

"In fact, irrational star-chasing behavior may not be really good for idols in many cases. In fact, abnormal and fanatical star-chasing can actually be regarded as fans' collective "cloud support" behavior towards idols.

To give you an example, let’s say I am rich and powerful now, and I admire my assistant Xiaopang very much.”

At this time, the little fat boy who was waiting for Ding Zhi outside the camera suddenly became excited.

Hey, why did you mention me?

"I asked him what he wanted, and he said he wanted to act..."

Ding Zhi seemed to be unable to help but laugh a little when he said this, "Haha, I'm just giving you an example. Then don't engage in crazy editing!"

"According to normal logic, what should I do? I will help him on the acting level. I will teach him what the voice meter is, what the seven powers and four senses are, take him to experience life, and then find his way according to his acting path.

Better development.

But if I let him bring money into the team when his acting skills are in shambles and he has no audience popularity, and forcefully invest a lot of resources for him, and let many first-line directors and colleagues surround him, no matter how many hardships he has experienced,

Despite ridicule and contempt, I still want him to be the protagonist of a blockbuster movie. Am I helping Xiaopang by doing this?"

"Actually, no, to a certain extent, this kind of behavior is just to satisfy my vanity. I am using Xiaopang to show off my strength, and I am also 'taming' him, letting him understand that he can only rely on me.

, so that he can always be the protagonist. At this time, do I really 'like' him? In fact, what I like is the taste of power."

"So, in fact, the operation of making money to compete in the rankings will make some fans immersed in an illusory sense of honor such as 'I helped so-and-so create history.'

This desire for social recognition, power and influence is exactly what teenagers who have entered adolescence and can step into society crave, but they cannot get it from school, family and society."

"In this way, an illusory dream like "We are very powerful" has been created, and fans are immersed in 'Brother only has us!', 'Whatever you say, I lose if you don't follow me', 'We are willing to do it for brother

Against the whole world, I felt a tragic and self-motivated atmosphere."

Ding Zhi's long words were thrown down all at once, which really made Yi Jing a little confused.

For the first time, Yi Jing also started "tactical drinking".

But she was worthy of being a professional host, and she quickly adjusted her thinking.

"So, you are disgusted with the word 'idol'? You don't want to be an 'idol'?"

"No, quite the opposite."

Ding Zhi also held up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.

"I think that 'idol' is actually a very sacred word. A true idol sets an example and enables those who like him to gain strength and grow into better people."

Ding Zhi silently recalled the first time someone signed an autograph. At that time, when the little girl carrying a schoolbag looked at him, it seemed as if there was light in her eyes.

That was his experience during the "Eight Hundred" road show, and it was also the first time he signed an autograph for someone. After signing, he thought about it for a long time, and then wrote a line of words, "Study hard and make progress every day."

.

This inexplicable sense of tension was somewhat similar to the feeling in his previous life when his brother relied on him and trusted him every time he faced off against the gangster next door and was about to charge into battle, but it was also somewhat different.

It was the first time that he felt that he seemed to be carrying something invisible in this still unfamiliar time and space.

But at that time, he still didn't quite understand what it was like.

Now, he seems to have some understanding.

"So, do you hope that you can serve as a role model for your fans?"

Ding Zhi thought for a long time and then smiled.

"In fact, compared to some rankings, data, etc., if one day someone suddenly tells me that he likes me and is inspired by some of my actions, and thus achieves success, then I,

Only then can I be happier and be called an 'idol'."

Chasing the stars is like chasing that bright star that hangs far in the sky but is right in front of you. We are traveling on two tracks and you are chasing me desperately. One day, maybe we can walk side by side together. Then you can laugh.

Then he said to me: "Thank you for being excellent in the beginning and making me excellent."

This may be the truly normal relationship between idols and fans.

Become a better person on the road of chasing light!
