Hilarious warning! Quan Hongchan's night magic sound in the Bay Area pierced her ears, and Chen Ruolin's comment area laughed into a sea
A carnival of national entertainment, or a dissolution of sportsmanship? —— Reflection from Quan Hongchan's "magic sound" to popularity
Recently, the diving Olympic champion Quan Hongchan sang the song "I Love You, China" at the Greater Bay Area Film and Music Festival, which unexpectedly became popular on the Internet because of her "unique" singing voice. Netizens have described her singing with joking words such as "magic sound piercing the ear" and "soul singing voice", and related topics once appeared on the hot search list, causing heated discussions.
This carnival of national entertainment seems to show the public's love for this "diving genius girl", but it also reflects a kind of paranoia about the supremacy of entertainment in the current society.
1. Entertainment to death: In the era when traffic is king, sports cannot escape "god-making" and "deconstruction"
It is undeniable that Quan Hongchan's popularity, in addition to the blessing of her Olympic champion's halo, benefits from the communication logic of "traffic is king" in the Internet era. In this era of attention economy, any element that can spark a topic and create heat can be quickly amplified and become the object of mass consumption, and sports stars are no exception.
From Fu Yuanhui, the "Girl in the Wilderness", to Ma Long, the king of "Versailles", and then to Quan Hongchan, today's "soul singing", it is not difficult for us to find that in recent years, the way of sports stars "out of the circle" has become more and more entertaining. They are no longer just athletes who work the field, but also become the makers of variety shows and Internet hot memes.
Behind this phenomenon, of course, there are sports stars' own demands for diversified development, but it also reflects the trend of mass media and online platforms deliberately entertaining sports stars in order to pursue traffic and commercial interests. They are keen to dig out the "contrasts and cuteness" and "topic points" of athletes, and shape them into "characters" that meet the taste of popular entertainment through editing, packaging, hype and other means.
Although this kind of "god-making" movement can attract attention and bring traffic in a short period of time, its negative impact cannot be ignored. On the one hand, overly entertaining packaging makes it easy for the public to ignore the sweat and efforts of athletes on the field, and regard them as mere vassals of entertainment, dissipating the seriousness of sportsmanship and the charm of competitive sports.
On the other hand, this "god-making" is often accompanied by "deconstruction". When an athlete's words and deeds do not meet the public's expectations, they will attract criticism and attacks, and even be labeled as "Jiang Lang's talents" and "personality collapse". This kind of online violence will not only cause psychological damage to athletes, but also affect their future career development.
2. Return to the original intention: The core of sportsmanship is hard work, struggle, and never give up
The charm of sports lies in the fighting spirit, the will to fight and the belief of never giving up. Athletes sweat and challenge the limits on the field, which brings us not only visual enjoyment, but also spiritual encouragement.
As a 15-year-old diver, Quan Hongchan conquered the world with her perfect performance at the Tokyo Olympics, and her story has inspired countless people to pursue their dreams bravely. When her "singing" has become the focus of public attention, and when her "foodie" image has been repeatedly consumed, should we reflect on whether this overly entertaining attention deviates from the essence of sports?
Returning to the core of sportsmanship, we should pay attention to the performance of athletes on the field, their sweat on the training ground, and their determination and perseverance to win glory for the country. Instead of indulging in the entertainment carnival of "magic sound", it is better to pay more attention to those unknown athletes who train hard, cheer for them, and contribute to the future of Chinese sports.
3. Rational star chasing: appreciate their talents, but also respect their efforts
As public figures, sports stars receive public attention for their words and deeds, and they also bear the responsibility of spreading positive energy and establishing a good social image. This does not mean that they have to be a tool for mass entertainment, nor does it mean that they have to sacrifice their personality and life to cater to everyone's preferences.
Rational star chasing requires us to maintain a normal heart, appreciate their talents, respect their contributions, understand their pressure, and give them more tolerance and support. Don't impose your preferences on them, and don't hurt them with malicious words.
The popularity of Quan Hongchan's "Magic Sound" is a manifestation of the supremacy of entertainment in the Internet era, and also reminds us that while enjoying entertainment, we must adhere to the awe of sportsmanship, rationally chase stars, pay attention to the duties of athletes, and create a healthier environment for the future development of Chinese sports.
