In recent days, a wedding video of "Grandma Turning into a Butterfly" on the Internet has become very popular, with millions of likes, and the number of views is probably not hundreds of millions! To be honest, this video really touched me, the warmth and touching plot of family affection simply brought tears to people's eyes.
But I was moved, and I always felt that something was wrong. This storyline, how to say it, although it is the kind of old-fashioned touching drama, but the groom's acting skills are really first-class, and he cries so much that it makes people feel distressed when they watch it. But on such a festive occasion as the wedding, is it really good for him to cry like this? And this kind of plot, it seems that there have been similar popular videos in recent years, isn't it a little too clumsy?
I began to wonder, are these stories that have been interpreted, although touching, really true? In order to attract traffic and attract customers, these wedding companies are really hollowing out. The purpose of this time is obvious, that is, to be an Internet celebrity, to become popular. However, the groom may not have expected that this fire would be so hot.
As the video went viral, I heard a variety of different voices as well. Some netizens began to pick up the originality and authenticity behind this video, and the groom's frequent crying also caused some controversy. Some people expressed understanding that it was an affectionate remembrance of a deceased loved one; But some people criticized it as too sensational, a bit fake.
I also followed the trend to see the analysis of psychologists, who pointed out that although this kind of fictional emotional story can touch people's hearts, we should also be wary of the false elements in it. At the same time, I also began to think about the social phenomena and problems behind such false stories.
What makes me laugh even more is that other wedding companies have seen the lucrative benefits and have started to follow suit, trying to create more touching stories like this to attract customers. At this time, the Internet is full of all kinds of "butterfly" stories, which are simply dazzling.
I've also seen a lot of people resent this kind of false story, believing that it distorts people's values. At the same time, I also found that some people who had similar experiences began to share their own real stories of "butterfly transformation", emphasizing the preciousness and importance of real emotions.
The popularity of these videos also made me see the disgust of some couples with fake wedding stories, and they chose other more authentic ways to celebrate to express their love and happiness. I think that's a good thing, at least because people are starting to look for more authentic and meaningful weddings.
Speaking of this farce of "grandma turning into a butterfly", although it brought short-term traffic and attention to the groom, in the long run, it undoubtedly caused a lot of damage to his personality and reputation. The groom became an overnight sensation because of this video, but the ensuing doubts and pressure also overwhelmed him. I looked at him and sweated for him!
Some critics have pointed out that this unscrupulous approach in pursuit of traffic distorts social values, and I deeply believe that. The groom's social media accounts have seen a surge in followers, but controversy and criticism have followed. Some brands that originally wanted to cooperate also had to terminate the cooperation because of too much doubt, which is really worth the loss!
The groom tried to transform in the follow-up video to save his public image, but I don't see the effect obviously. In the end, he chose to fade out of the public eye and focus on his private life because he couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion, which can be regarded as his best choice.
This incident also made me think more deeply about influencers and the traffic economy. Is this pursuit of short-term traffic and attention really worth it? On the road to pursuing influencers, should we pay more attention to authenticity and have a bottom line? At the same time, I also began to reflect on my behavior on social media, and whether I was also held back by this traffic economy.
The story of "Grandma Turns into a Butterfly" has become a laughing stock these days, but I think it's more of a wake-up call to remind us not to lose our authenticity while chasing traffic and attention. For us ordinary netizens, we must also learn to distinguish the authenticity of online information, don't be blinded by this kind of false story, and don't blindly follow the trend to forward and comment, so as not to become a tool for others to hype.
