Why can such a greasy overlord be popular?
With the progress of society, people's values are also changing, but some traditional concepts still subtly affect popular culture, and the popularity of roles such as "overbearing president" is a reflection of some problems that still exist in Chinese society.
On the surface, the "overbearing president" gives the impression of being well-dressed and aura, but the reason for its popularity is not only the external packaging, but also the details in this kind of character shaping also affect the psychology of the audience.
For example, they always wear couture suits with watches and watches, which in the audience's mind, constructing the stereotype of successful people, famous school background, rich and handsome appearance, invisibly satisfying the audience's vanity.
In addition, the "overbearing president" often drives sports cars and lives in top mansions, these material lives are reminiscent of the lifestyle of the elite, bringing a sense of substitution, perfume, red wine, cigars and other details, but also set off a high-society atmosphere.
It can be said that the external shaping of the "overbearing president" captures the public's yearning and fantasy for the life of successful people, which is also an important reason for the audience's sense of identity.
The reason why "overbearing presidents" are called "overbearing" is that they often show a strong, authoritarian side in the play, such as transferring employees at will, or implementing various monitoring on the heroine."
This kind of "domineering" on the one hand satisfies the audience's imagination of the life of the powerful, on the other hand, it also reflects the acquiescence to the "strong male", in traditional culture, men are often expected to assume the role of "dominant", this stereotype affects the public aesthetics, and the "overbearing president" just fits this psychology.
But in fact, this kind of strong style and personal behavior in the workplace environment is an improper expansion of authority, which promotes the erroneous concept that "power is justice".
The "persecution" of the heroine by such characters will often change to "love" in the later part of the plot, and the "domineering president" will also put down the means and turn to gentle and considerate under the emotional transformation of love.
This plot reversal caters to the audience's emotional expectations and satisfies the optimistic mentality of "love will make everything better in the end", but in fact, this routine plot of "violence for softness" is also unfair.
The reason why the "overbearing president" can be popular is not unrelated to the remnants of some traditional concepts in society, and such roles bind the values of the public to a certain extent, and also affect the construction of social morality.

It's time for the good men in the entertainment industry to rectify
In recent years, the entertainment industry has frequently broken out negative news about artists' extramarital affairs, and some male stars who originally established the image of "good men" in the hearts of the audience have been exposed to scandals with chaotic private lives, which surprised fans.
The contrast between the positive image created by these male stars in front of the camera and the scale of the three views in real life exposes the hypocrisy of the "good man" character in the entertainment industry, and this false idol packaging not only misleads fans, but also promotes incorrect values, harms the entire social atmosphere, and urgently needs to be consciously reflected and rectified by practitioners in the entertainment industry.
Take actor Zhang as an example, after marrying veteran actress Hong, he frequently showed affection through TV talk shows, showing thoughtfulness and care for his wife and children, and successfully established a positive image of "good husband and father".
Fans were deeply impressed by their husband and wife's love, who knew that a few years later, Zhang was repeatedly exposed to scandals with young actresses, and more reporters took photos of him and women having secret meetings in hotels, and Zhang fell from the identity of a "good man" to the position of a "scumbag" overnight, which surprised fans.
Director Chen is also the same, he continued to have extramarital affairs after marriage, and also publicly said that "polygamy" and cheating are the norm, causing concern, writer Han is even more explicit, putting forward the "theory" of "two girlfriends, five lovers, eight bed partners", completely subverting the three views of normal people.
The reason why these male stars will publicly make such blasphemous remarks is mainly because they lack the right values. Some male stars are too arrogant and conceited, mistakenly believing that they have the privilege to do whatever they want, can have multiple girlfriends or bed partners as they want, and marriage becomes a consumer goods and accessories with a false name for them, rather than a sacred marriage as it should.
In addition, there is a common problem of "heavy capital and thin morality" in the entertainment industry, and entertainment companies only pay attention to packaging and shaping idols in order to make profits, keen on creating gimmicks and marketing hype, and do not pay attention to the true character of artists.
This allows some celebrities to appear in front of the camera glamorously, but in private but unscrupulously and recklessly, and entertainment companies not only turn a blind eye to their negative behavior, but sometimes package them and whitewash them as their accomplices.
If such a trend is allowed to spread in the entertainment industry, it is bound to have a serious negative impact on the entire social environment and values, and some reckless young people may be infected by this wrong idea and shake the cornerstone of marriage and family.
It is hoped that the entertainment industry can be reborn in nirvana, infect everyone with positive energy, and a healthy and progressive entertainment environment requires every public figure to consciously assume the responsibility of moral example.
