The hit of "Strange Story 6" in January made one person fall into a hot discussion again: Luo Zhenyu.
Luo Zhenyu's identity has always been criticized, because he pays for knowledge, instills knowledge to fans on social platforms every day, and outputs a lot of tall academic terms.
In his own words, he is making a knowledge capsule, that is, condensing knowledge into an easily digestible pill, giving it to the reader to swallow, and obtaining the essence of a certain book without having to read a certain book.
It sounds very powerful, but in the eyes of some people, it is like a kind of pyramid scheme, so many people say that he sells anxiety and circles money with the most common emotions of this era.
With this prejudice, Luo Zhenyu's image in "Strange Story" was not pleasing enough from the beginning, especially this season, Luo Zhenyu was still a little too strong, and friction between the players was generated.
For example, in the paragraph where Yang Qihan apologized to Luo Zhenyu, Luo Zhenyu not only did not manage his expression well enough, but also complained at length about his grievances after Yang Qihan apologized, which was buried by many people.
As a mentor, Luo Zhenyu was not generous enough; as a businessman, Luo Zhenyu was not shrewd enough; as a maker of knowledge capsules, Luo Zhenyu was not smart enough.
Therefore, after the end of "Strange Story 6", Luo Zhenyu's much-criticized situation became more sinister.
But a person can succeed always has his reason for success, in the matter of Luo Zhenyu, I think that I still can't easily look down on this person with a limited eye, otherwise he will not sit on the tutor seat of "Strange Story", and Ma Dong, Xue Zhaofeng, Li Shi, Cai Kangyong and others are in the same position.
Therefore, this article recommends everyone to watch this episode of "Thirteen Invitations" Xu Zhiyuan and Luo Zhenyu, everyone knows that Xu Zhiyuan is an old-school, self-contained intellectual, and he is not ashamed to express his prejudices when interviewing many people.
And such a person, actually in the face of the new school, business, self-proclaimed only love to make money Luo Zhenyu, show understanding and appreciation, which is very rare.
The two biggest feelings that Luo Zhenyu gave people in this issue were: frank enough and willing to despise himself; the other was: let people see his non-commercial side.
First of all, honesty is very rare, many people are ashamed to admit their limitations, especially Luo Zhenyu's performance of "too much care" in "Strange Story", which makes many people feel that he is a person who cannot tolerate contempt and misunderstanding.
But in "Thirteen Invitations", Luo Zhenyu confessed that he was a person with no knowledge, and he could make a knowledge capsule, not because he had a difficult knowledge knowledge, but because he found a special output channel.
In Luo Zhenyu's view, his success is because of the luck, he had the privilege of working in CCTV in his early years, witnessed the decline of traditional media, and the birth of personal value, so it inspired his thinking and prompted him to come out and start a business.
For example, during his tenure at CCTV, Luo Zhenyu found that the "Dialogue" program was getting less and less watched, and the ratings of "Hundred Family Forums" began to decline off a cliff after Leaving Yi Zhongtian, so Luo Zhenyu realized that the personal era had arrived.
But this is only a pretentious statement, another true statement, because he offended the leadership of the time, which forced him to stand on his own door and beg for food.
The so-called courage is actually non-existent, and every choice that has to be made in the face of adversity is called courage.
The un-commercial side is reflected in his understanding of Xu Zhiyuan.
In the face of Xu Zhiyuan's questions about life and ideals, Luo Zhenyu has always used harsh words to express his business and worldliness, but when Xu Zhiyuan took out the book "The Story of Philosophy", Luo Zhenyu only said calmly:
"It's like first love, it's beautiful, but I can't go back."
"The Story of Philosophy" is the book of enlightenment of Luo Zhenyu, who is obsessed with Durant's way of explaining philosophy, but now he has completed the evolution of himself, abandoning all metaphysics, and learning to put the concept to the ground.
This practice may be very secular, but he has found the meaning of life, compared to Xu Zhiyuan's cold and arrogant, Luo Zhenyu is willing to accept the scraping of the new era.
Xu Zhiyuan wants to record the program, and if he does not want to record, he will not record. And Luo Zhenyu, 365 days a day will get up at 6:20, will send a 60-second voice to fans, record 4, 50 times, he self-torture, enjoy it.
In his words, the so-called craftsmanship is actually an open masochism.
It was not that he did not understand Xu Zhiyuan's thoughts, but that he wanted to find younger values. Xu Zhiyuan does not understand what young people like, does not understand the scraping of variety shows, the fast food doctrine and uneasy poverty of young people.
But in Luo Zhenyu's view, what you don't understand doesn't mean that there is no value. So he wants to keep learning and be a businessman who can keep up with the times.
In the course of the conversation, Luo Zhenyu also talked about "Leaving the Troubles" and talked about "covering the world today and supporting the current situation", but after seeing all this, he chose to be a person without feelings.
Luo Zhenyu also once hated Internet celebrities, those who shouted in the live broadcast room, thanked who who sent the yacht, plane, once in their eyes is three customs.
But later, he learned to be a clown, knocking on someone else's door and asking if they wanted to see their own things.
This is the evolution of the times, but also his personal evolution, from an idealist to a realist, and it is also a kind of progress.
Luo Zhenyu looks down on people who sing elegy for the times, but he understands Xu Zhiyuan's purity and prejudice; Xu Zhiyuan does not love business and fast food, but he understands Luo Zhenyu's worldliness and ruthlessness.
They had all seen two different sides of the coin, but in the end they chose a different path.
So at the end of the interview, Luo Zhenyu said that the conversation was very pleasant, because he had the desire to express in front of Xu Zhiyuan, he knew that they were different, but they could understand each other.
Xu Zhiyuan, on the other hand, defines Luo Zhenyu as an opponent who retains each other but can appreciate each other, a friend worth talking to.
If even xu Zhiyuan, who is so skeptical of fast food, can appreciate Luo Zhenyu's extraordinary side, then it is not to mention that we are accustomed to fast food.
If Luo Zhenyu has seized every opportunity to learn all his life, I believe that he will also summarize some experiences that can make him more pleasing from the loss of the hoof of "Strange Story".
