Even if you don't care about the entertainment industry at all, it is impossible to ignore the existence of Liu Qihong recently. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the "Liu Qihong Girl" appeared like mushrooms after the rain. That's your friends changing —no matter how different their personalities and ages were before, they were now brushing and sunning Liu Ruihong's various fitness screenshots to show their yearning.
People who suddenly burst into popularity to this extent often make people have a magical sense of "falling from the sky". But this Mr. Liu Is not, he has always been in the public eye.
Born in 1972, he has acted in several plays before, but his most famous identity is Jay Chou's friend, and many Jay fans used to follow him as Jay Chou.
In 2017, he took his daughter Puff Little to participate in the recording of the fifth season of "Where Daddy Goes". But the popularity of the show has not been as good as before, although the little puffs are well-behaved and cute, Liu Qihong himself has not reached the heat of Zhang Liang, Guo Tao and others when they participate in the show.
Celebrity popularity is indeed a metaphysics, but Liu Qihong himself has certain limitations, he does not have a particularly good hand of the work, the appearance is reasonable, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the recognition is not very high - unlike Liang Chaowei, there is a sense of loneliness and sorrow in the big eyes - it may be that he married early and the family is too happy.
Fortunately, he has a peaceful heart, in addition to giving Jay Chou a daily show, he is a fitness coach who does variety shows. In February this year, he launched a live fitness broadcast. At first, it was still unknown, and at the beginning of this month, it only had three million fans on a certain platform. However, in the past half a month, his number of fans has suddenly soared to more than 34 million, and he has become the top stream in the entertainment industry that has not made any splashes recently.
Why did Liu Qihong suddenly become a man loved by everyone? I think it is the times that make heroes, and the epidemic has made practical men finally shine and become a sought-after feast.
In the past half a month, staying at home has become the norm in some places. Even if you can go out, travel is not particularly smooth, and many people can only stay at home on holidays. In this state of life, the man who was once absent from family life suddenly became a very conspicuous existence.
In the past, they had no sense of presence at home, nor did they want to have a sense of presence, and it is said that Japanese men have to stay in bars for a while after work in order to pretend to be busy, so it seems to be more promising.
It is not so exaggerated in China, but usually men also love the vast world outside. Tong Zhenbao in "Red Roses and White Roses" is busy outside all day long, "He likes summer, not summer he can also be busy sweating, the wrinkles on the suit, elbow bends, legs bent, wrinkled like laughter lines." Many of his Chinese colleagues scolded him for being extremely poor. He actually plays outside in the name of socializing, and his wife doesn't dare to say anything even if she suspects it.
Now it's different, everyone has to stay at home, can't pretend to be socially extensive, can't pretend that the future is immeasurable, so what else can be pretended? The eighteen martial arts of the past could not be used, and the essence of a person was revealed.
You will find that some men are really useless, all the skills needed at home are not, they will not grab vegetables, they will not cook, they will not bring a baby, and when you grab vegetables, he may still be sneering at the side.
For other men, it is the vicissitudes of the sea that show the true colors of heroes. For example, some Shanghai men in the circle of friends, recently the most enthusiastic skills to show are to grab vegetables and cook vegetables, limited resources, do not prevent them from doing the dojo in the shell, so that the color and flavor are complete.
So what kind of high-cold male gods, fashionistas, suddenly no longer fragrant. When locked up in the home and isolated from society, the basic life ability of men as family members is the most important value. It is far more practical to dress and match than to be able to match meat and vegetables. In the face of survival, vanity and social achievement become irrelevant.
On social platforms, this practical type of man is also more radiant and widely praised than ever. For example, the husband of a female writer in Shanghai resigned a few years ago to take care of the baby and take care of the housework at home. If in the past, he is still known for the image of "the man behind the female writer", in the recent days, everyone has found that he is like a hero stepping on the colorful clouds.
He can not only grab vegetables and cook, but also get two babies, to know how devastating it is to have two small divine beasts at home for 24 hours, and the amazing Xiao Chen can actually have spare energy to volunteer, saying that the decathlon is not exaggerated.
Liu Lihong settled in Shanghai and also caught up with this wave of home. In these days, he fully demonstrated the charm of a practical man.
He led everyone to dance aerobics in the live broadcast, strong, enthusiastic, action magic, once started, it was an hour and a half long.
He not only actively himself, but also pulls everyone together to release energy. His wife Wang Wanfei practiced with him, from looking decent, to moving out of shape, gradually grinning her teeth, leaving only the part of rolling her eyes. Sometimes when he does not pay attention to trying to steal a lazy, he is ruthlessly exposed by netizens with torch-like eyes. It is said that Wang Wanfei suffered greatly because of this, and was forced to "make up lessons" after the live broadcast.
Despite this, she is still the object of everyone's envy: there is a treasure husband like Liu Qihong, who can not only be driven to train a good body, but more importantly, in the process of sweating like rain, her heart is always full of hope - even if the world cannot get better, at least she can become better, and many trepidations and uneasiness will disappear unconsciously?
Not to mention that he is still very funny. For example, when people asked Jay Chou about his condition, his sentence "Wishing JayLen good health" was directly interrupted by the platform for thinking that it involved medical health. For example, Liu Qihong's chest muscles are too developed, and he was misjudged by the platform as "breastfeeding edge ball", he simply put on a down jacket to jump and exercise, this clever irony makes people waner.
Turn bad luck into a joke and live a life of weight. His fitness slogan is also very funny: "Fat oil around the waist clicks off, mermaid line vest line I want". True strength is not necessarily arrogance, but to maintain a stable balance between yourself and the small environment around you. People always want to laugh, this is the emotional value that Liu Ruihong provides to all girls.
Some people put Liu Qihong and Li Jiaqi together and said that one of them "sought wealth" and the other "killed people." Indeed, both are vital men in the lives of the majority of girls. But in fact, there is a big difference. Li Jiaqi is a man who makes dreams for girls, he holds up lipsticks and tells girls that different color numbers are codes to different dream kingdoms, as long as you "buy it", you can step into a fantasy world. In other words, consumption is a convenient way to realize dreams.
Liu Qihong, on the other hand, is much more pragmatic, and at least it won't cost much money to follow him. At the moment when the wallet is dry, the girls are more awake than ever, and Liu Qihong succeeds Li Jiaqi as the new male god in the hearts of the girls, which is particularly natural.
In short, Liu Qihong's popularity is not a turnaround, but a meeting of storms. His warm and energetic smile meets all our needs in the moment. Let's use the summary in "Love in the City": this epidemic has completed him. In this incomprehensible world, who knows what is cause and what is effect.
However, Liu Qihong should not be the only beneficiary of this fulfillment. After the pandemic, maybe girls are becoming more and more aware of what kind of man they want, and boys are becoming more and more aware of what kind of man to be. Who knows, we might as well wait and see.
