Today's Internet hotspots are always beyond people's imagination from time to time.
This time it was Young Master Wan Liu.
In fact, at the beginning, when he heard people talking about "Young Master Wan Liu" and "Old Slave", Uncle Rou thought that it was just a meme, a broken dimensional reappearance of the overlord on the Internet.
But when I looked closer, I realized that I was too young.
Behind the "Young Master Wan Liu".
It's not just an online that is shocking.
01
"Look where the old slave is more suitable"
In order to understand the cause and effect for friends who do not chase gossip and hot spots, it is still necessary to talk about the experience of "Young Master Wan Liu".
In short, a big outrageous event.
Initially, it was because of an inexplicable video that went viral.
A boy, dribble without showing his face, looks unremarkable.
But miraculously, this video, which is only 5 seconds, has been pushed to the top with more than three million likes, and even brushed the entire network.
Why?
The reason lies in the positioning of the video - Beijing Wanliu Academy.
and a painting revealed in the corner of the video, suspected to be Qi Baishi's authentic work worth 420 million.
Netizens are also "powerful", not only did they examine the treasure through the air, believing that it was Qi Baishi's painting, but also set a sky-high price of 420 million yuan
Why does a Wanliu Academy cause the majority of netizens to boil?
It is said that this Wanliu Academy is the top luxury residential area in Beijing, with an average price of more than 300,000 square meters, and the people living here are not rich or expensive.
Therefore, sports + culture + money, these three elements work together, making people guess a lot about the owner of the video.
and many imaginations.
But.
What keeps things fermenting, and the subsequent wind direction becomes more and more confusing, is not what the video owner did, but the comment area below.
It really opened the eyes of Uncle Meat.
Gao Zan kneeling licked comments, mouthful of a "young master", and also called himself an "old slave".
Young Master, look at where the old slave is more suitable
This word "plug" means a lot
Others boasted:
The wish is: I want to be a woman/man with few words
Recently, someone has even written love letters for him.
Some people obviously don't know, but they can blurt out a brainless rainbow fart:
Yu Shao is very polite, his parents taught him well, he is also very gentle, will comfort and encourage everyone, than envious of his material wealth, I think his connotation is more enviable
Seeing people talking about people, hell talking about ghosts, the art of speaking, the admiration of Uncle Meat's capital letters.
But that's not the end of it.
In order to better distinguish, the previous "Yu Shao", we will call Young Master No. 1.
That's right, and Young Master No. 2.
With the same IP address, another user with an account named "16" started a live broadcast on the short video platform under the boost of the popularity of Young Master No. 1 "Yu Shao".
In just 7 minutes, the live broadcast room received a cloud-piercing arrow worth 20w+, and he also rose his fans wildly, and has now become millions of fans.
In this way, effortlessly, the tip is easy to tens of thousands.
Money, going to those who are least short of money.
Not beat around the bush.
In the current live broadcast room, adult tipping is itself an act of being willing to be beaten.
This group of "young masters" flaunting their wealth is actually understandable.
Uncle Rou said that what really aroused public indignation in this incident was the remarks in the comment area.
Self-enslavement.
A rich young master can easily give birth to a group of Internet old slaves.
The wording is extremely subtle, "plug".
This kneeling and licking posture makes people uncomfortable, and it makes people think about it extremely frighteningly.
Why?
The logic behind this group of self-enslaved people means that if you have money, you can control me, enslave me, and use it for you.
It's no wonder that some people are cold:
Sure enough, some people's braids grow in their hearts
02
"The main thing is that the parents teach well"
What is the reason for all this?
It's actually a class gap.
When you are stuck in your own life and cannot make the leap to another level, you are bound to have some kind of unrealistic imagination about those unattainable lives, even if you know that those imaginations may be just wishful thinking, you will try to convince yourself to believe it.
Here, the "Young Master Wan Liu" satisfies our imagination of rich people.
Remember Million Pounds?
An adaptation of Mark Twain's novel, an old film from nearly seventy years ago reveals this vividly.
The story is that a man named Henry came to England from the United States, but how could he live in poverty and penniless?
It just so happened that he was chosen by a pair of rich brothers.
Rich people just play and the brothers take out a check for a million pounds from the bank to verify that a poor man gets the million pounds.
The older brother thought that it was worthless to the lives of the poor and would not have any effect on it, whether it should be poor or poor.
But the younger brother took the opposite view, believing that the check could help the poor man escape the sea of misery and live a prosperous life.
Of course, they also had Henry set a condition:
The check lends him for a month, and if he can return the check in perfect condition within the deadline, he will get whatever the rich brother can offer.
The brothers threw down a check and dashingly traveled abroad.
As for who of the brothers won the bet, it doesn't matter.
The point is the reaction of people who saw this million check.
and people's bizarre imagination and interpretation of Henry, a "millionaire".
Please enjoy the large-scale performance of the Kawa drama face.
After getting the check, Henry went to eat a meal as soon as possible.
He entered a restaurant and sat down at a random window position, and the waiter who was calculating the bill saw him and went over to remind him that the table had been booked.
Then he led Henry, who looked at him sadly, to a small table inside.
He was full of confidence when he got the check, and he didn't read the menu, so he directly reported the name of the dish.
The waiter looked at him obliquely, and gave another warm reminder:
It costs a lot of money
After serving, the hungry Henry Speed Disc action, and even had to refill the meal.
The boss and waiter whispered in the back, promising to renew him, but did not forget to tell him "don't go to the cartilage".
Not long after Henry finished eating, the waiter was in a hurry to make him pay.
However, when Henry opened the check given to him by the rich brother - he was all dumbfounded.
Really jaw dropped
You know, at that time, only two million-pound banknotes were issued in the whole of England, one of which had already been used, so the one in Henry's hand became a unique one.
Guess what's next?
As a matter of common sense, a young man dressed so cheaply who comes to such a small shop and takes out millions of bills to settle the bill will either be considered to be holding counterfeit banknotes or stolen banknotes.
But, here's the interesting thing.
Based on such a check, the clerk concluded that he was a millionaire with odd behavior and an extraordinary wealth.
So the attitude turned 180 degrees:
You can visit a small shop like ours
It was a great honor for us
Not only did he waive his meal bill, but he also promised to provide a quiet spot next time.
There is also the "thank you" of the two, which is also very meaningful.
Seeing that the clerk suddenly began to give courtesy, Henry said "Thank you for your kindness".
The clerk in turn said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Eat whatever you want, whenever you want
As long as you can visit, this is the greatest honor of our small shop
You taste, you taste.
Whether he is a true "millionaire" or not, people want to believe that he is.
It seems that when faced with an unattainable class, people are always willing to rationalize all his actions, even if they are unreasonably "eccentric".
A more important point.
Behind the millionaire, countless halos are attached.
And these auras are believed and maintained by countless "old slaves".
For example, after that, he went to a suit store.
Even though Henry said he only needed one set of clothes, the tailor who "changed face" when he saw the banknote took care of himself and began to tailor it for him.
And don't forget to say:
You will need such clothes all year round
30 sets is the minimum
Sir Leddington generally wants 48 sets
This group of clerks who changed their faces so quickly, just like those "old slaves" in the comment area of the "Young Master", they were all trying their best to maintain the aura of wealth.
They will transplant all the good qualities to the "young master" on their own.
Even if they are strange netizens who don't know each other.
But the "old slaves" just think that they - have connotations, super high upbringing, no shelves ...
The main thing is that parents teach well
Why?
Just like we would rather believe that the "rich children" in those talent shows are tutors and good personalities.
Just as we used to call Jack Ma and Wang Jianlin "Dad" without burden.
At this time, it does not matter who the "young master" is.
It doesn't matter if it's good or not.
What matters is the class, money, and power behind it.
And these are those "beautiful scenery" on the other side of the river, and we have no imaginary end point.
03
"It's all to blame for the newspapers"
Yes, we do not intend to blame too much those who call themselves "old slaves".
Whether it's true feelings or playing terriers, the fundamental starting point is derived from the inability to do anything about one's own life situation.
But it is worth being alarmed.
When memes become commonplace, will the already fragile and crumbling moral baseline of society continue to recede?
When following the trend becomes a habit, will the already scarce and rather rare individual independent judgment completely give way to extreme incitement?
Yes.
The same is "Million Pounds", but in the movie, the director adds a plot that is not in Mark Twain's novel - stocks rise and fall.
Someone took advantage of Henry's fame and bought a stock.
Everyone followed suit and bought because "he was bullish on the stock."
The result was inexplicably a big profit.
But things quickly reversed.
An old man who did not like Henry wanted to take advantage of him by finding someone to sneak into his room, hide the cheque, and start spreading rumors that he did not have a million pound cheque at all.
As soon as the rumors came out, the stock market plummeted, and the people who had previously bothered him instantly turned their faces and became arrogant.
Not only that, many shareholders came to the door, not only unjustifiably asking him to lose money, but also asking him to show the check to prove his innocence.
Seeing that he could not take out the check, the "trust" previously built on this basis collapsed, and the shareholders present began to be angry.
How quickly I saw the check change face, now I see how fast.
The tailor took all the clothes away on the spot:
At this time, there were many people who nodded at him because of Henry's reputation, shouting that they wanted "revenge" and even wanted to be rough with him.
And the irony is yet to come.
The old man who teased Henry never thought that things would be so big.
He quickly found a check to relieve Henry.
So, this group of people who had just been running away suddenly made peace.
The tailor, who didn't know how far he had gone, suddenly flashed back, with the same flattery as at the beginning.
Found it?
When people are accustomed to extreme and facial expression, there is no independent thinking.
The tailor can push the problem to those newspapers.
He can say that this is nothing more than a misunderstanding, and his intentions are good.
Similarly, we can push the issue to "rhythmic" media.
It can also be said that we are self-deprecating, just playing terriers, you think too much and so on.
But when everything is subtle.
We are accustomed to "slaves", accustomed to "leashing", accustomed to flattery to high society, and will those who want to have their dignity decently be considered unsociable, considered alien, considered false?
It's like an animated short called Danny the Boy.
When everyone in town has no heads, what happens to Danny, the only boy with a head?
He met the girl he wanted.
But when the girl touched his head, she ran away in fright as if she had seen a monster.
So in the end.
For love, in order to be more like a "normal person", he had to stand under the guillotine and cut off his head with his own hands.
Yes.
Falling into the abyss may not be easy.
But it may be harder to live with dignity and dignity.
In this shaky world.
Hopefully, we won't give up on that.
