Click on the hot search, and see a shocking news:
CCTV network commented that the rice circle culture should drive away evil spirits and help the right only two days, qinglang rectification has not yet ended, but the rice circle chaos is still frequently exploded.
At first, it was only a small fight among individual fans, and gradually there were "fan heads" in various circles, and later even spread to the stars themselves who had to be pulled off to express their positions.
In the increasingly intense environment, related topics seem to be marked with flammable and explosive marks, which can always easily provoke multiple hot discussions, such as:
Is "rice circle god- Are fanatical fans related to idol behavior? Why are more and more people starting to take off the powder and step back? ......
As soon as these are discussed on the Internet, it seems that it is inseparable from taking sides, quarrels and throwing pots, people in which there are bitter complaints, and onlookers are often innocently involved, which is an increasing source of infection.
Is there really no place to talk about "rice circle culture" rationally and equally?
Or there is.
"Night in the Corner", a cultural chat program that Dao Chief Liang Wendao participated in after entering the Little Red Book, is also another program that I am looking forward to after "One Thousand and One Nights".
Like the name of the show, here is a small corner away from the storm, where friends sit around and talk, and use a more diverse perspective to deeply analyze and examine those topics that are usually afraid to talk about.
The second issue talks about "chasing stars".
Liang Wendao, Jiang Sida, Chen Di, scholars, media personalities, and commentators.
No matter how you look at it, it's a bit far from the rice circle.
But precisely because of maintaining a certain distance, we talked about something more objective and essential.
Liang Wendao, who is in his 50s, also has the memories of chasing stars in his own era.
When he was a teenager, the hottest star was Zhang Guorong.
Every year on my brother's birthday, overseas fans gather in Hong Kong to celebrate the birthday of their idols.
To this day, this group of fans has not left.
It's just that the birthday has become a souvenir, and every year on April 1st, the front of the Mandarin Hotel is filled with flowers and letters.
Today, the way to chase stars is different.
In the past, fans wanted to meet idols, and they could only go through concerts, one-way, one session at a time.
The rest of the time, it's through buying cassettes, watching TV, and putting up posters.
At that time, star chasing was a pilgrimage by one.
Nowadays, star chasing has become a routine.
The idol descended from the high altar and began to become within reach.
Online investment, accusation and evaluation, anti-black, brushing data, offline pick-up, drawing, visiting classes, engaging in assistance...
As long as there is money and time, idols see each other every day.
The value of many idols to fans is no longer works, but life.

But as we get closer, the altar is prone to collapse.
In the past, idols were unique on stage, and fans worshiped and admired offstage.
This kind of love, spanning decades, does not fade, and eventually slowly solidifies into feelings.
For example, Andy Lau, who "worked conscientiously for 40 years", truly defined the value and dignity of idols.
Look at today.
Idol disqualification incidents are endless, and it has become the norm to take off the rice circle and step back.
The former idol fights strength, and now the idol fights fans.
Fans are no longer one-way audiences, but personally involved in the creation of idols and shareholders.
The right to speak is bigger, and fans are attracted to idols from simple to form a bundle of interest relations.
Idols are not contentious or even disobedient, and may be abandoned by the fan base at any time.
Anyway, the next idol is on the assembly line.
Chasing stars makes people happy, and chasing stars all the time is always happy.
What matters is not idols, but the act of chasing stars.
Leung mentions a concept, association, which refers to the formation of a group around a common goal.
Compared with idols, fans love that kind of group life and the desire for association.
In this group, there are like-minded people and there is unity of effort.
Everyone can find their place and emit their own light and heat.
The process of generating electricity for love can indeed harvest tangible happiness and even exercise ability.
It is not so much that fans are chasing stars as it is another self that is constructed in the group of rice circles.

But there is also power and control in this group.
As a running organization, the rice circle also has a hierarchical structure.
For example, managing fans will set rules and set indicators.
Fans who fail to complete the KPI will be under pressure from within the group.
In order not to lag behind other families, the rice circle girls have turned themselves into data women.
Knowing that this comparison is meaningless, but in the overall environmental atmosphere, it can only be forced to accept the inner volume.
Star teams and capital often play an important role in inducing and manipulating.
Take advantage of the love of fans and kidnap them to consume the list.
Therefore, we will see abnormal behaviors such as pouring milk and investing, fans borrowing krypton gold, etc.
In a sense, people in the rice circle are also involuntary, and they themselves are also wrapped and alienated by powerful group forces.
This power, on the one hand, comes from the manipulation and restraint of various rules in the rice circle;
On the one hand, it is the fanaticism that is bound to be caused by the group gathering.
The agglomeration benefits of social media coupled with the efficient mobilization ability of the rice circle make them occupy the same voice everywhere they go.
As the so-called "rice circle goes out, no grass grows."
Star chasing is no longer an intra-group affair.
It became a massive collective action that even invaded other areas of society, eventually provoking a strong backlash.
This kind of group power is disturbing, and the consequences it can cause are also unbearable:
When the rice circle model expands, it becomes a weapon to seize the right to speak.
We will lose the public space for normal expression and communication.
Star chasing is not terrible, what is terrible is the anti-intellectual behavior and uncontrollable behavior after the star chasing to the group frenzy.
Rice circle is a new word, a new force that is remarkable.
But as Chen Di said, its core is not new.
The collective god-making movement of the rice circle has a large number of emotional projections and spiritual sustenance from reality.
Traffic and data have become the mainstream of today's rice circle culture.
So the love, happiness and value of fans are visualized by accurate data:
The super talk ranking has risen, the number of endorsements has increased, album sales have peaked, and hot searches have been on several more...
Jiang Sida said that the "fan operation" is counterintuitive in his own view.
It was as if the fan was a captive livestock, an object without free will.
The time that a subject could have used freely was used and arranged by others.
Why are so many people willing to be arranged to throw themselves into the carnival of the rice circle one after another?
At the bottom of the program, I was greatly touched by the evaluation of a little red book netizen:
The rice circle frenzy reflects "people's fear of freedom."
For freedom is emptiness and loneliness for them, a kind of shackle.
Freedom is not what everyone pursues, but what some people want to escape.
On the contrary, the arranged life, specific goals and unified actions in the rice circle, and the resulting voice, can alleviate their anxiety about the meaning of survival.
Let them think that this kind of filled pleasure is the value of the individual, the meaning of life.
But the word "collapsed house" has shown that this belief is unstable and that meaning can collapse at any time.
So much so that the target needs to be constantly replaced to perpetuate the pleasure.
If you ask the fan group: What is the original intention of chasing stars?
Most people's answer is often: to get happy.
But once you take star chasing as the focus of your life, it won't be long before you find that the more you focus on it, the less happy you are.
More contradictions.
In fact, after carefully analyzing the phenomenon of the rice circle and the causal relationship, we know that fans are not the most important factor in determining the will of this huge group, and they often spend countless time and energy, but they only get disappointment, not worth the loss.
When some fan circle chaos spirals out of control into social events, countless people emerge to criticize, and the fans at the center of the storm are confused, feeling that they have not done anything, why are they blamed?
And this is the most valuable thing about "Night in the Corner" in my opinion -
The overall atmosphere of this show is calm and inclusive, even if it is talking about the rice circle that is most likely to cause controversy and confrontation, it is still as equal as possible from all angles.
Those who blindly insult the brainless superiority of the fan circle will understand its rationality from it; the trapped people who are wrapped up in the thought of the fan circle can also clarify the real pros and cons.
Why can the multiple perspectives in this corner put aside prejudices and coexist harmoniously?
In the end, it still stems from humanistic literacy.
When in-depth scholars talk about their life experience and professional knowledge, they are never paranoid and mean, but tell the story.
When we watch these more practical and grounded contents, we will also get rid of the frenzy of being brainwashed by the collective and draw more meaningful spiritual nourishment.
Therefore, I feel more and more that it is meaningful and necessary for Little Red Book to create the show "Night in the Corner".
Looking at the Internet, the various platforms that often "surf" seem to be swept away by the "rice circle". Waves of young people are busy fanaticism, busy with anger, busy following... But he ignores the most important part of the present, the side, the heart, the corner that belongs to life and belongs to the self.
Although star chasing is happy, happiness does not have to be created by star chasing.
Just like in the Little Red Book, we witness a variety of lifestyles, share happiness from all over the world, and constantly learn the ability to pursue happiness.
Once you have this ability, let your heart be full and open, you will not consume the only white moonlight into mosquito blood. No longer become empty because of depowdering, only to take the road a wider and more solid future.
I watched two issues of "Night in the Corner" in a row. After talking about love and star chasing, the show will also explore more topics and provide some fresh and rare perspectives.
Most importantly, it offers one possibility:
Let each of us have our own corner, can interact with like-minded people, share sincerely, sink our hearts, and speak well.
The noisier the noise of the Internet, the more precious it is to anchor such a rooted life.
