Recently, one of Lang Jie's contestants has frequently appeared on the hot search.
Not Wang Xinling.
Instead, she is known as the "most hyped sister in history" - Zhao Yingzi.
Although the topic is constant, every hot search has been criticized as "embarrassing".
For example, recognizing Asa as Ajiao;
When apologizing, yang chaoyue was sent an ugly photo;
Zhao Yingzi posted a reply, but was questioned by netizens about buying hot searches, and was also complained that "I almost wrote want to be red on my face".
There are thousands of people in the entertainment industry who want to be popular.
There are not a few people who hold the idea that "black and red is also red".
But these tricks, in fact, were played by a person as early as 50 years ago, and she was called "the first celebrity in history to become popular by hype".
Recently, the story about her just happened to be made into an American drama.
Today, Uncle Fish will take this opportunity to talk about the old topic of hype.
Angeline
Angelyne
There are many familiar faces in this drama.
The heroine is the eldest sister of the American version of "Shameless", Amy Rosen.
"Tide Master" Martin Freeman, there are also many scenes.
The content of the story is taken from the deeds of real people.
Although it happened 40 years ago, it has become the most vivid reflection of the current entertainment industry.
The streets of Los Angeles in the 1980s.
A sexy woman who suddenly appears on many billboards.
Car accidents are increasing rapidly.
The men driving couldn't help but stare.
No way, her breasts were too big.
The most curious thing is the name on the poster:
Angeline
Who is Angeline? What is she advertising?
For a moment, the name exploded.
There is a strong sense of curiosity throughout the city.
It soon became apparent that she could also be seen on the streets.
Angeline's appearance is as striking as in the poster.
She drove a pink luxury car with pink sunglasses.
Platinum-blond fluffy curls, towering high.
Eyeliner and eyelashes, thick like a Barbie doll.
Sexy lips with lipstick, one in one.
The voice is as sharp as the cartoon character Minnie Mouse.
No one cares what she says.
The focus is all on her figure.
The huge breasts fell with her movements.
It was as if I was about to jump out of my pink tights.
If you ask her: Who Angeline is and what she does.
She will answer you: Angeline, just Angeline.
Indeed, she did nothing.
Because she doesn't have any talent for the entertainment industry.
Like singing.
In 1977, Angeline was still alone.
Because a guitarist was madly obsessed with her, she was able to serve as the lead singer in the band.
He also performed once in the most famous bar in town.
That night, a bustling crowd waited offstage.
Angeline wore a sexy miniskirt on stage.
Twist your body the whole time, and keep raising your legs.
A long, sharp tone is dragged behind each sentence.
The next day, the performance was heavily criticized by the media.
The guitarist was furious, but Angeline was happy.
"It should be framed, this is our first story"
The guitarist did not understand that Angeline had no interest in singing.
She volunteered to join the band for one purpose — to be famous.
So the content of the song is not important, and the singing is not important.
There is only one thing that matters, marketing.
Take beautiful promotional photos.
Put posters all over the streets.
At the same time, Angeline understood a truth very early.
Black red is also red.
As long as someone pays attention, what about a few inverted colors.
In addition to singing, she also tried acting.
She was once approached by a producer to interview for a role.
But according to the man's description, her performance was a disaster.
So from then on, Angeline announced:
She only performs herself in film and television dramas – a sexy woman driving a luxury car.
However, what makes Angeline completely famous is neither singing nor acting, but street billboards.
Once you have a name, money rolls in.
She began to receive invitations to various movies and TV shows.
Hourly appearance fees are as high as $2400.
In short, this is a woman who can't sing or act, and wins eyeballs by exaggerating sexiness.
A woman who is famous for being famous.
However, for years, her true identity has been unknown.
Who the hell is Angeline?
Where did she get the money to buy billboards?
It wasn't until 2017 that the answer was revealed by a journalist.
Looking back at Angeline's past, you will find a huge contrast in her:
She is not a big-chested, brainless doll at the mercy of others.
Rather, he is a clever, radical careerist.
Although she has no talent in singing and acting, she is not without any skills.
First of all, she is very positive, enthusiastic and has a strong sense of action.
Joining the band was something she asked for.
Convincing the owner of the famous bar to give the band a chance to perform there was also her initiative.
However, the guitarist abandoned her halfway through, and he couldn't bear to let all the conversation revolve around Angeline.
So Angeline went for a facelift and put on a huge fake breast.
He also took the initiative to find the owner of the printing factory and proposed a way to promote himself on the billboard.
The owner initially refused because it was not a traditional practice.
But Angeline succeeded in convincing him.
Angeline has an almost fanatical positive attitude towards fame.
The men who worked with her were always unconsciously affected by this passion and vitality and volunteered to help her.
Second, Angeline has a flexible enough business acumen.
The owner of the printing factory and Angeline work closely together.
But they were never just business partners.
Not the sugar daddy that people think.
At one time, two men in suits and shoes came to negotiate with the boss.
They wanted a good location sign and persuaded the boss to sublease them at a higher price.
At first, the men had no intention of involving Angeline in the discussion.
In their eyes, Angeline was nothing more than a Barbie doll at the mercy of others.
But the negotiations that followed surprised them.
"If you want to sublet, you can change ten billboards in other locations."
"Five."
"Nine."
Angeline bargained aggressively.
The owner of the printing factory sat in his seat and did not say a word.
In this way, Angeline used her business acumen to light up pink bubbles on the street.
By 1995, Los Angeles had more than 200 of her billboards.
The boss's investment has paid off hugely.
The phones on the billboard ring non-stop until late.
There are fans, there are cooperations, and there are also many people who come badly.
The filmmakers asked her to audition, but they did something to her on the spot.
Angeline rushed out angrily and decided to play only herself from now on.
This is also another characteristic of Angeline, she can always keep herself awake and calm.
Playboy also asked her to shoot the cover of Person of the Year.
But on the condition that nude photos must be taken.
Angeline refused without looking back.
She knew very well that that wouldn't do her any good except make the magazine a big hit.
In short, for countless men.
At first glance, Angeline seems to be an empty-headed doll.
Look at it again, but he is a clever, self-disciplined, and powerful "Puritan demon."
She has always firmly grasped her career and moved towards her goals.
But with this ability and ambition, why indulge in such tacky glory?
This has to mention her past.
In fact, Angeline's original name was Rachel.
Both parents were Jewish surviving World War II concentration camps.
He later fled from Poland to the United States.
Despite fleeing the war, the oppressive family environment has never changed.
The stepmother is indifferent, and the father is full of control.
Angeline had been overwhelmed.
As a young woman, she found inspiration in Marilyn Monroe, a goddess of generations.
Monroe is a blonde idol who heals herself with a reinvention.
She is mysterious and sexy, and has been infatuated and loved by people all over the world.
Angeline believes that she can also completely abandon the past and replicate Monroe's success.
More importantly, Angeline was acutely aware of a point.
Former celebrities were politicians, actors, and singers.
But with the development of mass media in the sixties and seventies, she foresaw an unprecedented path, a shortcut for ordinary people to become celebrities.
So she inherited the extremes, weirdness, and mystery of Hollywood.
A perfect fake character was created, Angeline.
Then use the media to hype.
She did.
She became the first person in history to be "famous for being famous.".
If Angeline became a celebrity by creating mysterious, sexy physical wonders.
Then her successor is even more bottomless.
For example, the incredible Kardashian family.
She used the "sex video leak" incident as a traffic password.
Hyped up in reality TV and overnight fame.
And thus created a business empire.
The Asian entertainment industry on the other side of the ocean is still the same.
In the early days, Internet celebrity Song Zhiya broke out of the circle by relying on "female competition" remarks.
Gain a large number of fans on social platforms for a time.
Everyone praised her for her super good looks and soberness in the world.
The "Lang Sister" Zhao Yingzi mentioned at the beginning is also suspected of this.
The most famous one was when he fainted while walking the red carpet.
Some questioned that she was faking it for hype because she subconsciously looked down at the floor before fainting.
Another time, he wore a see-through Hanfu and deliberately rubbed Bian Bo's eyeballs.
But no matter how disgusted the netizens are.
Their purpose may have been achieved.
After all, "black and red are also red".
It's not even the entertainment industry that thinks so.
Ordinary young people have long heard about it.
Last year, an employment survey report by Xinhua Net showed.
54% of the post-95s and post-00s most desirable emerging occupations are Internet celebrities.
In an interview with CCTV's "Focus on The Three Rural Areas" program, a reporter asked several children what they wanted to do when they grew up.
They also unanimously replied: influencers.
Because influencers can make a lot of money.
A 15-second video can be played in hundreds of millions.
The offer of an advertisement ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Not to mention, there are tens of millions of fans who respond to each other, as well as countless costumes and magnesium lights.
More and more young people, like Angeline, have long understood the working principles of today's world:
The media allows ordinary people to accumulate great fame in a short period of time.
And fame is wealth, attention is money.
Some of the "dare to think and dare to do" post-00s have even taken action.
Last year, a 16-year-old girl exposed herself nude photos to become an Internet celebrity.
Also shouted netizens, if you forward the screenshot to her, you can get 100 yuan red packet.
Another post-00s girl, Zhou Chuna.
Since the age of 13, he has undergone plastic surgery more than 100 times, spending more than 4 million yuan, just to make a "net red face".
For this phenomenon, the American scholar Bourstine predicted in the "Guide to False Events in the United States" published in 1962:
"Celebrity culture will take on a new form.
A person's fame is because of its popularity.
It has nothing to do with his character, his abilities, or his contribution."
People used to worship heroes, then stars.
Today it's an internet celebrity, no matter where that reputation comes from.
Dreamers only saw the scenery in front of the Internet celebrities, but they did not see the loneliness after a gust of wind.
Angeline was quickly abandoned by the audience after aging and fading.
Nowadays, you can only set up street stalls and sell your own souvenirs.
But she still did not give up the idea of turning red.
Until a few years ago, it was still relying on self-disclosure to win a new round of attention.
Nowadays, with the advent of the Internet era, whether it is fame or collapse, it has become more rapid.
At present, the most important thing is wave after wave of Internet celebrities and idols.
One falls, and thousands of them will rush up again.
Even if you can only become famous for 15 minutes, you must be the center of attention.
After all, the bubble economy of the entertainment industry will never die.
