Two months ago, we wrote the story of anti-fraud Lao Chen who has been an Internet celebrity for two years and wants to be a police officer again, two months have passed, Lao Chen has brought another wave of traffic, but this time the center of the traffic is another netizen named security guard Abin, and people prefer his other name - anti-fraud Xiao Chen.
Yes, there are already people who have begun to imitate Lao Chen.
On the left is Lao Chen, who used to wear a police uniform, and on the right is Xiao Chen, who has recently worn a security uniform
No one knows what Xiao Chen's surname was like before, and it may be that as his name says, he was just a security guard before.
In 2020, he posted a gameplay video on Douyin and was silent for four years until April 2, 2024, when he posted a 10-second video.
From beginning to end, Xiao Chen only said 4 sentences: "Imitation of Kobe Bryant's fire, is there a master who tells me what to imitate, I can eat with a mouthful of food, listen to persuasion." ”
After 10 seconds, the gears of fate begin to turn.
A Bole who haunted the comment area pointed out a clear way for him: imitate Lao Chen.
So in a few short days, Xiao Chen prepared the same red robe that appeared in the anti-fraud Lao Chen video, and replaced Lao Chen's police uniform with a fake security uniform, and shot a number of imitation videos.
In case you don't know, it still needs to be emphasized here that Xiao Chen's popularity is already a bit unreasonable and anti-Tiangang.
When Lao Chen's likes were still fluctuating around hundreds of thousands, Xiao Chen's video likes have gradually exceeded 10,000, and have almost stabilized at around 2w recently.
Lao Chen, who is no longer alive, can still find some traffic for himself from Xiao Chen, and I don't know if it is bitter or lucky.
Someone has already given Lao Chen advice and let him rub Xiao Chen's popularity.
Xiao Chen also opened a live broadcast, and in the live broadcast room, people asked him to imitate everything about Lao Chen.
Imitate Lao Chen's dance, imitate Lao Chen's grimace with his tongue out, and even imitate the wet sweat stain on his chest.
He is not repulsive, because smart people do not go against fate.
Besides, the money was all earned by himself, and the pot was carried by Lao Chen.
Lao Chen crossed the river by feeling the stones, he rode Lao Chen across the river, and deceived Xiao Chen to play abstraction, what does it have to do with his security guard Abin?
All the scolding can't stop the ambition he revealed in the title of the video - sweat wets the red shirt, and vows to earn 10 million this year.
Maybe some poor friends have seen other copycat masters before, such as the copycat boy group ESO and its members Lu Ha, Wang Erbo, Yi Yang dry cleaning, and even the porridge cake Lun who is out of the stall across the country.
But there is an obvious difference between the replicants like Xiao Chen and those in the past, giving people a feeling of stepping into a new era.
You don't feel right, the replicants who are good at imitation have entered the 2.0 era.
In the past Replicant 1.0 era, people's imitation of celebrities was often superficial, and copyists tried to restore a certain characteristic of the star. For example, singing timbre, dancing proficiency, dressing, etc., more or less respect for imitation archetypes.
The first characteristic of replicants in the 2.0 era is that they have lost respect for the prototype of the imitation character and no longer have the spirit of craftsmanship.
For example, Cai Xukun, a frequent visitor to the ghost animal area who was very popular on the Internet before, although people ridiculed him mostly, every imitator is proud of the perfect reproduction of the basketball dance of "Just Because You Are Too Beautiful".
The little black man who learns like him is also more popular with netizens than the little black man who is clumsy and imitated.
This kind of simple imitation of celebrities and celebrities is generally not too long-lasting. Because imitators are not like imitation objects that can continue to produce new content, they can only hope that the imitation object itself will continue to have popularity, otherwise the audience will get tired of it sooner or later.
This is the biggest problem in the Replicant 1.0 era.
In the 2.0 era, people no longer blindly pursue the likeness and likeness of imitation, nor do they respect the prototype of the imitation character, their goal is very clear - anything can be done for the sake of popularity, even if it is to intersperse some original stalks of netizens into their own imitation shows.
It may sound abstract, but you should not be unfamiliar with the following case of the 2.0 era, the protagonist of the case is Kobe Bryant, a famous basketball player who often doesn't sleep at 4 a.m. and likes to observe the night in Los Angeles.
Siren has passed away, so I won't say much about Kobe Bryant.
In fact, in the era of Replicant 1.0, many people imitated Kobe, such as Guizhou Black Mamba, who became famous two years ago, and then participated in the village BA, and the image is very positive.
By the time of Replicant 2.0, the network no longer welcomed the highly restored Kobe.
What people need is the innate Mamba Eucharist composed of jokes, rotten stalks and hellish jokes such as "Prison Big", "King of Elbows", "Iced Tea", "See You Again" and Kobe Bryant Sauce Wine.
The phrase "listen to persuasion" has been around on the Internet for a long time, and it was also popular on Xiaohongshu a few months ago, with a bunch of men and women holding a piece of paper that says "listen to persuasion", eager to transform their whole bodies through the fashion aesthetics of netizens.
But one day, the word persuasion met Kobe Bryant, and it took a historic turn.
On February 19, 2024, Yunnan Ahui will never forget this day.
Just today, under the Douyin video he posted, a well-wisher with excellent vision gave him a suggestion, that is, shave his head, drink iced black tea and start a live broadcast, bgm with See You Again, live together.
So after that, Yunnan Ah Hui disappeared, and the first innate Mamba Holy Body of the Replicant 2.0 era appeared.
He proved that in this new era, you can not play basketball, you can be a dead house with sports shortcomings, but as long as you memorize the bad Kobe Bryant on the Internet and look a little similar, then you can add to the yellow robe with the help of thousands of netizens and become a new generation of black mamba.
With his imitation of the prison and his connection with "Sad Snow Leopard", "True Truth", "Legendary Captain" and other peers, he has accumulated a lot of fame.
and the PK of the beautiful anchor, he can even complete the crushing of popularity. Before the live broadcast ended, the number of likes soared to 560,000.
The already fiery "prison big" is even more stormy, and the congenital mamba holy bodies all over the country began to cross the sea with eight immortals to show their magical powers to restore the prison great.
Some high-imitation Kobe Bryant directly had a cyber elbow game with Yao Ming's imitators in the live broadcast room.
背景配乐还是加速版的 see you again ，这样老铁们才愿意刷礼物。
When the situation is at a disadvantage, the Innate Mamba Eucharist also raises its arms and shouts "MAN"! Then elbow frantically, so that the popularity can slowly rise.
In addition to no respect for parody character archetypes, another feature of the Replicant 2.0 era is that a hundred schools of thought are contending and a hundred flowers are blooming.
Everyone is not just catching a big wool, football stars, celebrities, Internet celebrities... Those who are a little famous, are their own imitation objects.
Because in this era of replicant 2.0, which has diverged from the great river of history, people find that the result of struggle is not necessarily success, so they yearn for an opportunity to have an easier desire to reverse their fate, and imitating others is such an opportunity.
Now in the comment area of Douyin videos, it is very popular to post "listen to persuasion" and "ask for guidance from experts", and people leave photos of themselves, half-joking, half-eager to meet their own Bole like anti-fraud Xiao Chen.
There are too many netizens who urgently need to "listen to persuasion", so much so that now the melon-eating masses in the comment area occasionally serve as Bole.
When they see a netizen who looks similar to a celebrity in their memory, they will give a little advice, and even aspire to become the original shareholder of potential stocks through this kind of capitalless investment.
For example, this imitator of Wu Yifan, who focuses on pure prison style, seized the opportunity.
Behind the iron railing, the false broad-faced king with a three-millimeter haircut looked pained, and Kuku stepped on the sewing machine.
Every time he slowed down and wanted to cry, the cell boss next to him roared angrily to lift his spirits.
In addition to imitating celebrities, there are also imitating influencers.
For example, Giao has his own replicant, and the two of them are connected to the microphone.
Ah Giao, who was sitting in front of his Mercedes, was chewing something, watching the other party perform the abstract work he had done back then, and his eyes were all his past selves.
The replicants of the 2.0 era are more sensitive to traffic, they are like old Chinese medicine doctors, accurately grasping the pulse of the times.
A few days after Nomi became popular, he was imitated.
At the beginning, those who sat on the gym equipment in the small park in Wuhou District, Chengdu and shouted "I want Disney" didn't talk about it, but now Nomi didn't do any live broadcasts, and the replicants have directly bought a full set of equipment and learned to make money with an accent.
You have to say that it is difficult to imitate others in the 2.0 era, and it is easy to say that it is simple.
You can choose to do something interesting like the ones above. You can also do nothing, just pose like a sculpture to imitate the prototype of the person, and someone will give you a gift.
Even the character you imitate, as long as it is not too unpopular, it doesn't matter if he has become popular recently or not.
Because the third feature of the replicant 2.0 era is that the threshold is low, participants are not required to have basic skills, and everyone has more opportunities for trial and error than before.
You can imitate Wang Yousheng in the 2005 TV series "Bright Sword", shoot the same video every day, and the number of likes is still higher than the life video you share seriously.
You can imitate the stills of Chow Yun-fat's movie "God of Gamblers" in the 80s of the last century, comb your oily hair and wear a small suit, sit on a chair with your legs crossed and cut props and pokers, and you will have endless caution from the audience.
You can even imitate the character Hannibal in the American drama on the other side of the ocean, set up Western-style tableware, and tell everyone with a magnetic voice: The most important thing in being a man is not to be happy, but to be medium-cooked.
With such a video, netizens can give you the fourth place on the hot list of station B.
Speaking of which, some people should have grasped the essence of the Replicant 2.0 era.
To summarize briefly, if people are imitating Jack Ma in the 1.0 era, then in the 2.0 era, people are beginning to imitate Fan Xiaoqin, that is, Jack Ma.
Because compared with the current serious, low-key, and too far away from ordinary people, Ma Yun, who is abstract, crazy, and has given up the fortune of Qi Tiangu, is obviously more eye-catching.
From the 1.0 era to the 2.0 era, imitators have gone from imitating the glossy side of character archetypes to imitating the most topical side of archetypes.
People continued to test downward, and finally gave birth to the "elbow game in the live broadcast room", which broke the moral boundary. This kind of imitation of crossing the line will definitely bring infinite coolness. In fact, it has already told you very clearly - morality is not important, cool is important, and only when the audience is cool can there be traffic.
When morality has no boundaries, the ceiling of creation is even higher. Everyone understands that what can amuse you is often not the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala, but usually hell jokes.
After all this talk, you should be able to understand why the Replicant 2.0 era is more popular than the Replicant 1.0 era, and it continues to have popularity.
In the past, when people talked about success, they thought of the thick book of success, and the irreproducible path to success for successful people.
But now, people have discovered that it is also possible to copy the success of others by unscrupulous means.
I don't know if you are also a little moved when you see this, and plan to break through this new road.
Here I still have to pour some cold water on you, copying others is indeed easy to become popular, but it is also easy to eat lawyer's letters.
What's more, this still hasn't been able to get out of the Internet celebrity circle, and it still takes some luck to become popular.
If you're still stubborn and want to listen to some advice, start with the simplest of things – try imitating your own mom and dad first.
Try to be like them, accustomed to the wind and rain, and use your own shoulders to support this home.
