Have you ever heard of the "women's economy"?
Yes, last year, domestic entertainment selected the "Four Popular Women", and the four popular little flowers were named Ann Shangpu Women, obviously with a harsh criticism of actresses.
But recently, the word "ordinary girl" seems to be about to be "whitewashed".
The protagonist is Wu Xin.
A few days ago, she brought goods live on Xiaohongshu, and the real-time popularity exceeded 100 million, and the results were unexpectedly gratifying.

Some people say that Wu Xin's live broadcast room is a live broadcast room for ordinary women, and the style and price are all for ordinary women.
Wu Xin is not selling goods, it is a template for ordinary girls' counterattacks, and ordinary girls can advance by copying Wu Xin.
Analyzing Wu Xin's outfit again, it is a bit fashionable every day, suitable for ordinary girls.

Wu Xin, who has become beautiful and made a lot of money, will counterattack at the beginning of 2024 and become the light of ordinary women.
Who would have thought that everyone boycotted the term "ordinary women" last year, and this year it directly became popular with a general female track.
Is this a change of direction for the sickle that cuts leeks, or has the direction of the wind in the ordinary women's world really changed?
Can a common girl also be a track?
In the beginning, when the term "ordinary girl" was widely spread, it was obviously used to stigmatize ordinary girls.
And this ordinary, many times, refers to appearance and figure.

But if you want to find that ordinary girl in the entertainment industry, when it comes to Wu Xin, it is estimated that many people will nod their heads (note, this "ordinary" is compared with female stars, not amateurs).
Whether it's her perception of herself -
The reason why she is liked by some people is because she is closer to the audience herself, and she does not have the posture of a female artist.

is still what many netizens say about her-
She is so ordinary but so good-natured, enjoying the life that ordinary people can't reach.

Wu Xin is infinitely close to the small town of ordinary women who bravely enter the entertainment industry.
There is no shortage of beauties in appearance, she is not top-notch, but she is not sorry for the audience.
The ability to host the business is not outstanding, but there is no big overturn.
Although audience satisfaction is questionable, national awareness is high.
Saying that she has a Buddhist personality, but she will intermittently cheer up and make some moves, and while you see her efforts, you will also deeply remember some of the Internet cases she left behind.

worked in "Kuaiben" for 15 years until the show was stopped, but he didn't practice his housekeeping skills as a host.
In a blink of an eye, he reached the age of 40, and his status in domestic entertainment was stuck in a comparison that was insufficient, but it was more than enough.
Like a lot of people, they seem to be lazy but they are always busy, but they don't know what they are busy with, and they can't find a hard life.
Such people are placed around you and me to grab a lot of them, but in the entertainment industry, they have unique competitiveness.
It is known as the "Ordinary Women's Dividend".
Judging from the appearance, whether it is in the live broadcast room or daily wear, Wu Xin's counterattack is a successful template for ordinary girls to yearn for.
She has lost weight, she has become better-looking, and her clothes are not tricky.

This "girl-next-door style" seems to be approachable and imitated by every girl in front of the screen, and then turn over like her.
What's more, from the perspective of life path, Wu Xin herself is a visible ordinary girl who successfully counterattacks the narrative.
She originally wanted to finish graduate school and become a teacher, but she was selected by "Kuaiben" and accidentally bumped into the entertainment industry, driving high and walking low, stumbling along the way.
She was so anxious, her business ability was not good, she was a little transparent who could be replaced at any time, and she was worried about being replaced even if she had nightmares in the middle of the night.
She also often cries in front of the camera.
talked about her lack of self-confidence, and her guilt of trying to earn money to repay her parents, she wanted to be a daughter who was competitive.

But Wu Xin's journey is inevitably clumsy.
clumsily wanted to be beautiful, took a lot of detours, wanted to try fashion, actor tracks, and recklessly left no works.
A girl who has been reading since she was a child and is very good and smart seems to be at odds with the entertainment industry, and she can't see her head in a situation where she can't go up or down.
It wasn't until the age of 40 that this shot was finally fired.
In the 18 years that Wu Xin has been in the circle, she has been close to the ordinary people of internal entertainment who have been anxious and crying, and she is surrounded by Zi Weixing, only she is up and down.
is like every silent ordinary person who takes a detour in his part-time job.
The black spots on her body are obvious: too ordinary, she doesn't deserve it.
But now, ordinariness has become a selling point on her.
Perhaps, it is because she pokes at a subtle feminine emotion at the moment.
When there is a crack in the myth of beauty
In fact, long before Wu Xin, before the word ordinary girl was overflowing, the idea of becoming beautiful that ordinary girls could reach by reaching out was already very popular.
Zhou Dongyu is one of the representatives.
How did her calves get thinner, how did her clothes improve, how did her makeup get more sophisticated?
At that time, the Internet was helping ordinary girls ask for Zhou Dongyu's beauty analysis and counterattack cheats.

Those female celebrities who generously share their ideas and experiences of becoming beautiful with netizens will also soar in passers-by's favorability.
Lin Yun, who loves PO medical beauty vlogs, posts Xiaohongshu as a circle of friends, and never treats netizens as outsiders.

There are also many people who openly say that they regret plastic surgery, and persuade ordinary girls to stop in moderation......
Anyway, today's female stars are becoming more and more shy about talking about the money they spend on their appearance and the price they pay.
Before, this was unthinkable.
In the past, they had to work hard to maintain the myth of beauty, and prove that they were born beautiful without plastic surgery, or without maintenance or medical beauty.
It seems that only natural beauty can maintain some kind of strict hierarchical order, separating ordinary people.

And it is of course a good thing for female celebrities to puncture the myth of beauty with their own hands.
The concept of "beauty" is increasingly proliferating through the mass media, and female stars as symbols of beauty play an important role in it.
They lead the trend of beauty and drive the consumption of beauty, and at the same time, their changes will also bring new cognition.
How can there be so many mothers in this world who are beautiful without a trace of cracks, and the beauties who are touted are actually just serving different degrees of beauty.
Thermage, Ultrasonic Gun, Skin Booster, Youlisu ...... Or use a knife.

And the price of American service is a lot of time, money like flowing water, and even life risk.
So many times, it is the difference in financial resources and class that leads to the difference in beauty.
Rather than the self-discipline that has long been advocated.
Let's ask, how can a 996 migrant worker self-discipline squeeze the little time he has left to serve in the United States?
A person who has to go to work on Chinese New Year's Eve, what kind of stable mental state should he use to self-discipline to exercise and maintain a slender figure?
Let's see clearly, self-discipline and beauty are not so strongly correlated.
And the heavy price to pay for beauty is not the obligation of every ordinary woman.
When the myth of beauty is deconstructed, when beauty and female morality are untied, how can it not be an effective anti-anxiety for the majority of ordinary people?
Understand the common girl and become the common woman
Therefore, it is understandable that Wu Xin's ordinary female economy can become popular.
Her sister would like to call it the "half-lying and half-rolling" of most ordinary girls who are silent.
It is impossible to do it like a female star to look at life and death, but it is difficult to achieve 100% of the United States in such a structure.
Then take a look at the so-called "ordinary girl's idea of becoming beautiful", you can reach it on tiptoe, and you can see some results.

Perhaps, this is the choice of most ordinary girls.
We have the desire to be beautiful, but this desire is just about to move, and it is castrated to death by the ruthless working machine.
At the same time, the whole world is telling us that it is a basic virtue of a woman to put herself in person.
On the Internet, there are delicate and flawless women's standard faces everywhere, which is too exhausting.
That's why we're so annoyed with those who "reconcile with no makeup".

But we lack the narrative of ordinary women who are not beautiful, and we don't even have the legitimacy to be "ordinary women".
The four popular flowers were all pressed on the head of the Pu Nu, and the real Pu Nu under our line can only suggest to give up the right to breathe.
In fact, ordinary people's narratives have always been quite popular.
Wen Huijun opened three accounts for late-night emo, which allowed netizens to substitute "Everyone has a Wen Huijun in their hearts", and turned around to earn 100 million a day.

Yu Wenliang posted his daily life, eating and cycling, and he could also gain millions of fans in ten days, becoming a "representative of ordinary people".

However, her sister thought of those ordinary female people who became popular, such as Wanyan Huide and Juanzi.
Wanyan Huide has several explosive stalks, and he has the story of personal struggle after running away from his hometown, and becoming popular on the Internet overnight.
But no one said that she represented ordinary people, and if she wanted to represent, she could only represent ordinary women.
More people are laughing at her accent and appearance.

As for Juanzi, the same is true.
She imitates other people's high-end lifestyles in Yancheng, and her clumsy and hard-working appearance will not be said to mean that she represents ordinary people.
Her appearance is the climax of the meme carnival.

Even so, it is clear that they are ordinary women who share their lives.
It can be seen that the ordinary girl is popular, and she has been magnified to be ordinary, and she does not want to escape the judgment of appearance.
But the more this is the case, the more I want to see more samples of ordinary women.
They can be not beautiful, not intelligent, not docile, but like you and me.
They can work in the fields or in the cubicles.
You don't have to have a flawless appearance, your legs can be short, your waist can be fat, and you don't know what aesthetics and matching ideas are.
When there are more and more samples of such ordinary women, when the Internet is full of ordinary women, they are no longer judged for their appearance, making a big fuss.
Maybe the word "ordinary girl" will be "whitewashed" one day.
At that time, there is no "idea for ordinary girls to become beautiful", we just want to say:
It's good to be a "common girl".
