author:Qingdao West Coast release

"Musk's words made me stop internal friction", "Teacher Luo's quotes: true love must not be an instant touch", "Yu Hua talks about the secret of girls lying down to win"...... Recently, some well-known figures have been "incarnated" life mentors and philosophical masters, and their "quotations" have been circulated on social platforms in the form of pictures and small videos, which have attracted a lot of attention.

For a while, a celebrity photo with a line or an excerpt has become a "weapon for attracting fans", but whether these words are from celebrities makes people have to put a question mark in their hearts. Some attentive netizens found that a sentence was said by "Musk" today, and if you change your video account tomorrow, it will come from Bill Gates, and the traces of forgery are obvious.

In fact, from the "pseudo-golden sentences" of Lu Xun and other famous artists in the past, a large number of them were forwarded, and now the "fake quotations" under the banner of celebrities are used as short video copywriting, and fake celebrity quotes are rampant on the Internet.

Why is there always a market for fake quotations and pseudo-famous sayings? Why do people like to drink "celebrity brand chicken soup"? In life, how should we keep our eyes open and distinguish between "fake quotations" and "true famous sayings"?

One

Famous quotes, as the name suggests, refer to the more famous words spoken by well-known people, which usually contain philosophical ideas and can bring enlightenment to people, so they have been passed down for a long time. However, in recent years, all kinds of pseudo-famous sayings have been flying all over the sky, which are not from the mouth of a certain celebrity, but have been named and widely disseminated.

For example, piecing together, "it all depends on P". All it takes is a deceptive screenshot to force a passage on a celebrity.

Recently, a large number of spliced screenshots of celebrity interview videos have been circulated on the Internet, and the form is similar, often superimposed with multiple lines of text under the character image, and the content focuses on sharing successful experiences and outputting philosophy of life. At first glance, "celebrity appearance + Chinese-English bilingual subtitles" is really bluffing, but if you think about it carefully, seemingly esoteric or healing words are often out of bounds, or correct nonsense, and you will find that the original video has never said this at all. Undoubtedly, almost all of the screenshots of quotations with Musk, Luo Xiang and other avatars were P.

For example, creating something out of nothing, "people sit at home, and the work comes from heaven". Many popular celebrity "quotations" and "golden sentences" on the Internet are all imitations of works out of thin air, although they do not come from the mouths of celebrities, but some of them are quite like celebrity mouths.

Famous sayings such as "I am only responsible for two kinds of people - what I gave birth to and what I gave birth to" have attracted much attention, and Mo Yan had no choice but to show up to fight fakes, "It's not rough, I also want to know who wrote it." The once popular "Yang Jiang's 100-year-old testimonial" was confirmed to be a fake of unknown provenance. Some people have also summed up the trick of fabrication: using words such as "approximately" and "speculation" with sharp expressions can concoct "what Lu Xun said"; when compiling foreigners' famous sayings, they should have a sense of translation, and the grammar should mostly use inverted sentences, and they should not be very smooth......

For example, take it out of context, "change it if you want to, use it as you want". Transforming true sayings is an important source of false sayings. Counterfeiters either intercept parts of the whole and interpret them, or randomly inject their own ideas to rewrite, change concepts and confuse the real with falsehood.

Thoreau said, "If a man confidently follows the direction of his dreams and strives to live the life he imagined, he will meet with success unexpectedly." In order to highlight the "chicken blood effect", some people changed it to "move forward in the direction of your dreams with confidence! The phrase "studying medicine cannot save the Chinese" is also a famous saying of Lu Xun that has undergone a "makeover".

For example, Zhang Guan Li Dai, "Whoever is popular will say". It's obviously a famous aphorism said by A, but it has been passed down as B's work. The reason for the miscommunication, either by accident or deliberately, in order to increase the influence, who is popular let who speaks. "If you see or don't see me, I'll be there, not sad or happy. This popular poem is from Tashi Ram Duoduo's collection "Suspected Wind and Moon", but it was placed on the head of the famous poet Cangyang Gyatso.

In the same sentence, celebrities say "their own traffic", counterfeiters have taken advantage of this, fabricated or transformed celebrity quotations, attracted attention and harvested traffic, and even spread certain opinions through the mouths of celebrities to achieve other purposes. In this regard, celebrities have come forward to crack down on fakes, and the media has exposed them, but pseudo-famous sayings are still marketable and popular.

The "counterfeiting" routine is deep and there are many tricks.

"Counterfeiting is not shoddy". Although some pseudo-famous sayings are fake Li ghosts, they pay special attention to the choice of words and sentences and the creation of "artistic conception", which can be regarded as "chicken soup" beautiful texts. For example, "If you are well, it is a sunny day", "Live seriously, laugh presumptuously, and look up to meet tenderness", which is warm and beautiful to read, and easy to arouse emotional resonance, making people unconsciously become an audience and forward.

"Tailor-made". In order to make the pseudo-famous words more realistic, the counterfeiters gave the celebrities a clear "division of labor", and the words of "teaching you to be a man" belonged to Lu Xun, and the words with a bit of sharp ridicule simply "crowned" Mo Yan, and filled with sad emotions to Shakespeare...... The audience's "stereotype" of celebrities is used to the extreme, making it difficult for people to distinguish. Even, counterfeiters can also adapt to the time and local conditions, what people pay attention to, what they like, what occasions they need to use, if they are produced to match, there is always a suitable one for you.

"Soup-drinking" has deep roots and great demand.

The quest for celebrity effect. As early as when I was a student, quoting famous quotes became a habit of thinking. Famous quotes represent authority, and quotes can make the composition appear high-level and get high scores. Nowadays, people pay attention to creating a persona on social media, and quoting "famous quotes" has become a "shortcut" to show their literary literacy and attitude towards life; people are eager to see their ideas to be seen, recognized, and valued, and quoting "famous quotes" can be more convincing, so as to more effectively support their opinions.

The need for "psychological massage". Throughout the ages, countless famous quotes have inspired people, inspired thinking, and brought spiritual strength to people. At present, in the face of fast-paced life, people have a stronger desire to find resonance, follow examples, and draw strength from the "golden sentences". On the one hand, there is a growing demand for celebrity quotes, and on the other hand, the supply of real celebrity quotes is limited, and the supply and demand do not match, so there is room for pseudo-quotes.

In addition, the Internet era has also provided an important soil for the growth of pseudo-famous words. The fragmented reading habits of the audience make pseudo-famous sayings with few words and sentences more sought after; "everyone has a microphone in their hand", everyone may become the maker and disseminator of pseudo-famous sayings, and all kinds of information are updated quickly and easily obtained, which also increases the difficulty of checking and verifying the falsification one by one.

In many cases, people only need "golden sentences" that are widely quoted and can cater to their own needs, and they don't care about their authenticity. Some people think, "Even if it wasn't Lu Xun who said it, so what, anyway, it went to my heart." So, no matter who says it, believe it first, then talk about it, and then turn it around.

Pseudo-nomenclature has been rampant on the Internet for a long time, fueling a culture of deception in cyberspace, and the harm should not be underestimated. For example, this is a typical cultural fraud, which violates the spirit of good faith, not only infringes on the copyright and authorship rights of the original author, but also disturbs and misleads the public's cognition. Another example is that "bad money drives out good money", which can damage the spread of truly valuable speech, resulting in the inundated speech of those with depth and insight. Another example is that pseudo-famous sayings with biased or even erroneous views will have a negative impact on people's way of thinking and values, and become "poisonous chicken soup". At present, it is urgent to speed up the pace of fake celebrity quotes to keep the truth from the false.

Readers "keep their eyes open" and think critically. It is undeniable that some fake celebrity quotes also contain philosophical truth, which is inspiring and powerful. But even so, before it spreads "goodness" and "beauty", it has lost the core of "truth". Many of the transformed and imitated famous quotations are of worrisome quality, "tangible and soulless", or the logic is not smooth, or the connotation is shallow, and some are just a few sentences of the vernacular that moans without disease.

No matter how good the taste of the "chicken soup" cooked by the pseudo-name is, the nutrition is greatly reduced, and even harmful. Only by not believing in famous quotes, developing the habit of independent thinking, and improving the ability to distinguish between fakes, can we avoid the trap and not be the followers and disseminators of false quotes.

The platform "takes a good pass" and takes the initiative to make moves. The spread of fake quotations and pseudo-famous sayings mostly relies on Internet social platforms. Moderation and filtering should be strengthened, and those remarks that deliberately distort facts and mislead the audience should be blocked and deleted as soon as possible in order to earn traffic; In addition, making good use of big data and other technological means will effectively help fight counterfeiting, such as establishing an authoritative database so that more celebrity quotes can be traced.

Lu Xun said in the article "Famous Persons and Famous Sayings": "We should separate the 'words of celebrities' from 'famous sayings', because the words of celebrities are not all famous sayings; Whether it is a true quote or a fake quotation, it cannot be regarded as a "golden rule", let alone be regarded as a guideline without discernment. Think more, follow less blindly, and the truth of life has to be understood by yourself.
