In the West, the term "star" first appeared in 1824 to refer to a famous actor in the theater world. In 1919, the English word was used to refer specifically to movie stars. The formation of this mass culture was the first model in the West, and the forefront was Hollywood's star-making mechanism. Hollywood predators use stars to stimulate people's eyeballs, but also to achieve the stars themselves. However, when mass culture is spreading, it is not only limited to the film and television circle, but also in the political arena and the rich class.
In his book Understanding Popular Culture, Fisk describes it this way: "Fans are excessive readers, and their devotion to the text is active, enthusiastic, fanatical, and participatory." As a sentient being of the masses, maintaining rationality and maintaining the normal heart of chasing stars also needs everyone's reflection.
