Chapter 436
In the evening, the evening rush hour.
On the streets of every city, workers pouring out of office buildings walk quickly towards the subway passages, some chatting with each other in groups of three or five, while others hurrying past alone.
While waiting for the subway to arrive, I took out my phone and started browsing.
"Hurry up and check Weibo. It looks like there's another big scandal in the entertainment industry."
"Who is this? It's already the end of the year, and you're still bombarding entertainment reporters with performance news."
The two women traveling with them huddled together and whispered.
"That's the writer who wrote the book and filmed the show with Liu Qianya, the Peking University student named Lu Qingfeng. Online reports say he lives in a mansion, drives a luxury car, and is still playing the victim to gain sympathy."
"Is this true? I even bought his book for my son, and I didn't feel like he was trying to gain sympathy online."
"Look, everyone on Weibo is saying this now, and fans are still trying to defend themselves. They say that none of those who were previously accused were wrongly accused, and this might be the case too."
"Then I'll throw that book away when I get home."
Three people make a tiger, and everyone follows the crowd.
The ideas of these two people are very representative of a part of the people. They have a superficial understanding of things, and when they see that most people think there is something wrong with it, they immediately believe it.
As for understanding the matter in depth, most people don’t have the time.
Many times, if you are an ordinary person who is not in the fan circle, you will only treat the so-called entertainment gossip as a topic to chat with people around you.
The subway arrived at the station and two people got into the car.
After browsing Weibo, I turned to Douyin.
Then the two of them watched the short video of the young writer they had just discussed, but it was completely different from what they saw on Weibo.
……
“Suffering is suffering. Suffering will not bring success, and suffering is not worth singing about…”
……
"Young people have no radicals, they are themselves the chapter of glory."
……
"It's okay. It might not suit our taste. I just drank it out of habit."
……
The short video, less than two minutes long, is made up of clips from previous programs. The first one is an interview with a reporter from the Pioneer Youth Daily, the second one is an interview from the children's program "Star Future", and the third one is from the program "Travel with the Wind".
Because I had talked about this young public figure before, I patiently watched the video.
What followed was a change in my opinion of the person my friend just mentioned who was trying to gain sympathy by playing the victim.
Because no matter what he says or does, he is more like a child who has grown up early in a poor family. He knows shame and etiquette, and has an enterprising heart under his optimistic attitude, full of positive energy.
I hope my own children will be like this too.
The most important thing is that the video was released by a certified formal media. The videos released in the past were all news related to social livelihood, and their credibility was much higher than that of self-media.
She showed the video to her friends.
My friend gave a very clear and logical analysis.
"That might be because someone doesn't like him and wants to throw dirty water on him and discredit him."
"The entertainment industry is so dirty."
"Who says it isn't?"
……
Similar conversations have appeared in more than one place. In modern society, everyone has four or five social media apps on their phone. After checking Weibo, they check Douyin, then check Xiaohongshu, and finally check Bilibili. It is very common.
Weibo, as a platform for sharing information based on user relationships, is the most active place for fan circle activities. Most of the revelations about celebrities in the entertainment industry and incidents such as the collapse of their reputations occur here.
Lu Qingfeng guessed that the other party would definitely make a big fuss about this.
Arguing with the other party here will only make you fall into their rhythm.
Therefore, he did not invest too much energy in it and engage in meaningless tug-of-war with the other party.
Spread a rumor and break a leg.
On Weibo, users who have been led by the rhythm will only fall into the vortex of self-justification, and the more they explain, the more they will be led astray.
It is actually very simple to break the deadlock, because his so-called misery is that he really has such a family, and he is not lying. More importantly, even in that period, his character is beautiful, strong and miserable.
This is the core point.
Many times, if your fate is tragic, but you choose to lie down and not make any changes, the public will only think that you deserve it, rather than pity and sympathy.
The combined effect of appearance, strength, and tragedy can resonate with the public.
Lu Qingfeng had always been like this when he appeared in the public eye before, instead of looking pitiful and playing the victim.
Later on, after achieving certain results, I never mentioned it again.
Art creation based on one's own experience is not in this category. He does this deliberately in order to better integrate his works into the world.
The mastermind behind this is simply linking the fact that he currently lives in a high-end residential complex with his previous behavior, and using eye-catching endorsement fees to create this idea in the public's already biased minds.
People can deceive themselves.
What Lu Qingfeng has to do is very simple, just let the public see these.
Of course, this is definitely not enough. At most, it will make some half-believing and half-doubting people tend to favor him. The topic caused by this will still be controversial, and there will still be people who don't believe it.
He needs more things that can reverse the public's impression.
……
The popularity of topics about him on the two social platforms overwhelmed everything else. The videos on Douyin were also reposted on Weibo, accompanied by interpretations of the videos and the continued efforts of the water army.
The entire platform was in chaos.
Such a hot topic does not need any guidance from anyone, and it has also attracted more self-media to join in, forwarding comments and taking different positions.
The popularity also spread to other platforms.
It was evening.
Liang Xiaoshen, a music critic and one of the mentors of "Crossover Sing", suddenly posted a Weibo.
I was very surprised when a friend told me that many people on the Internet are saying that "I Once Wanted to End It All" is a song about sympathy.
I understand that not everyone has an in-depth knowledge of music, but at least everyone should have studied Chinese.
Isn’t this a healing song with an element of redemption?
I still don’t know who wrote this song, so I will only analyze the song and not anything else.
Overall, the structure of this song is very special, with a super long verse of three degrees and four choruses. I think this structure represents the repeated tug-of-war between despair and hope in the song, and can also be seen as the author's mentality at the time.
The lyrics of the songs also have their own imagery, the wailing of sea cats, the blooming apricot blossoms, the rusty bicycles, the abandoned ports, the deserted streets... In fact, you can match these elements with some specific things in reality if you know who the author is.
Last but not least, the reason why this is called a healing song is that not everyone has the courage to dissect their own dark past.
Under this profound theme, the author finally expresses hope rather than dark and cruel things.
Anyone who says this is a song about pity can only say that they have never heard of it.
