The entertainment industry has always been a vanity fair, and it is also a place of fierce competition.
Recently, a wave of "archaeology" has swept the Internet, and the once popular variety shows and classic dramas have been re-turned out by netizens for "appreciation", and those "famous scenes" buried by time have also been rediscovered.
Some celebrity characters who were once regarded as the norm have been ruthlessly deconstructed and subverted in this national archaeology, the most representative of which is Huang Lei's "God Chef" character collapse incident.
Huang Lei's process of becoming a "god chef" is quite interesting. Initially, he appeared on screen as a versatile person, and his cooking skills gradually attracted attention. As he shared the process of making some home-cooked dishes on social media, netizens liked him and called him a "god chef". After that, he also starred in a number of food-related shows, further cementing this image. In fact, Huang Lei's cooking skills are not achieved overnight, but the result of years of accumulation. His cooking skills and conscientious approach to ingredients have convinced many people. In short, Huang Lei's image of "God Chef" is naturally formed.
"God operator" and "old fox", these labels were all Huang Lei's deep impression on the audience in the variety show "Extreme Challenge".
He showed high intelligence and control at the beginning of the show, which left a deep impression and laid the foundation for the subsequent image building.
Subsequently, Hunan Satellite TV's slow variety show "Longing for Life" was born, this show focuses on "celebrity friend gathering" and "leisurely pastoral life", and Huang Lei's cooking skills have become the core selling point of the show.
The process of the program is usually that the guests order food in advance, and then come to the mushroom house to spend a few days with Huang Lei, He Jiong and others.
Huang Lei incarnated as "Huang Xiao Kitchen" in the show, cooking various delicacies for the guests, a pastoral picture of quiet years, which was deeply loved by the audience, and further consolidated Huang Lei's image of "exquisite cooking".
Of course, the creation of star characters is not achieved overnight, in addition to variety shows, film and television works and commercial endorsements also play an important role.
Huang Lei has participated in a number of food-related movies, and most of the endorsements are kitchen supplies, which have contributed to his "God Chef" character and made his image more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
2. The rift in the character of "God Chef" and He Jiong's "killing":
However, the Internet has a memory, and the wave of "archaeology" eventually swept through Longing for Life.
Some details that were once ignored were amplified and interpreted by netizens, and the cracks in Huang Lei's "God Chef" character were gradually revealed.
The most typical example is the "bean stew incident".
When Song Dandan went to the mushroom house as a guest, he ate stewed beans made by Huang Lei, and as a result, he got food poisoning.
Although the program team did not clearly point out that it was Huang Lei's responsibility, this incident undoubtedly cast a shadow on his cooking skills.
In addition, there are also "pot wrapped meat incident", "crab racing incident", "rice wine stewed elbow incident", etc., which have become the focus of netizens' complaints.
Stir the egg liquid by hand to hang the paste, use hawthorn to make pot meat, mix ginger and eggs to make crab, and stew elbows with two catties of rice wine.
These operations are far from the image of a "professional chef", and even make people doubt Huang Lei's cooking skills.
It is worth mentioning that in these "overturned" scenes, He Jiong's performance also aroused heated discussions among netizens.
No matter how well Huang Lei's dishes are cooked, He Jiong always does not hesitate to praise him, "delicious", "fantastic", "delicious in the world" and other beautiful words are endless, and he is nicknamed "the king of killing" by netizens.
This kind of "one-click three praises" behavior covered up Huang Lei's cooking skills to a certain extent, but it also made some viewers feel uncomfortable, thinking that He Jiong was deliberately creating a false harmonious atmosphere.
Some netizens even began to question whether He Jiong's "killing" was sincere, or for the effect of the show, or to maintain his friendship with Huang Lei? This question is probably only known to him.
3. The collapse of the personality: the disclosure of details and the reflection of the audience:
As more and more "black history" is revealed, Huang Lei's "God Chef" character finally collapsed.
The comment area of his personal social media account fell, and netizens' doubts and complaints were overwhelming, and the image of the former "Huang Xiaochu" plummeted.
In addition to cooking, Huang Lei's "daddy" remarks have also become the target of public criticism.
He often points fingers at the lives and feelings of other guests on the show, and this attitude of "being a good teacher" makes many viewers feel disgusted, thinking that he is too conceited and lacks respect.
Shen Teng's interaction with Huang Lei in "Longing for Life" has also become a hot topic among netizens.
When Shen Teng was in charge of roasting the suckling pig, Huang Lei was pointing on the side; In the game session, Huang Lei was cynical about Shen Teng and Ma Li's "clumsiness"; During the meal, Huang Lei brought up the old matter again, disgusted that Shen Teng couldn't roast suckling pig.
These details have made netizens question Huang Lei's way of behaving in the world. Shen Teng's sentence "everything is common and everything is loose" is too apt to describe Huang Lei.
Huang Lei's problem may be that he has a wide range of knowledge, but he is not good at everything, which may be the reason for the collapse of his image.
The experiences of stars such as Zhou Xun and Huang Lei also made everyone start to rethink the issue of "personality".
In the entertainment industry, celebrities usually have to create images to attract fans and increase commercial value.
However, a character design is a character design after all, and once it does not match the real situation of the star, it is easy to collapse.
The collapse of Huang Lei's image of the "kitchen god" is not an accident, nor is it an isolated case.
This incident illustrates a truth in the entertainment industry: personality can not only make celebrities popular, but also ruin them.
Okay, I'll try to rephrase this in natural, plain language. Can you provide us with the original text? This way I can do the rewriting better.
Fourth, personality and truth: the shaping and breaking of the star image
The image of a star is often carefully crafted, but the real side may not always be revealed.
What fans see is often the result of the team's careful design. Sometimes, this image is far from the celebrity himself, and when the real side is exposed, it often sparks heated discussions. In fact, each star has their own complexity and multifacetedness, and they are not just characters on screen. ้า
Star characters are like a double-edged sword. It can help celebrities quickly attract fans and increase their popularity, which can bring commercial benefits.
A distinctive character design can make a star more attractive in a highly competitive market and become a favorite in the hearts of fans.
However, character design is also a kind of constraint, which restricts the free development of stars, and may also become a hidden danger of collapse in the future. The reasons for the collapse of the character are varied.
Sometimes it's because the star's own ability doesn't match the personality, just like Huang Lei's "God Chef" character, and was finally crushed by the exposed culinary shortcomings.
Sometimes it's because of excessive marketing and packaging, shaping the star into an unreal and perfect image, and once there are flaws, it will cause huge contrasts and disappointments.
There is also a situation where the audience's aesthetic fatigue and pursuit of authenticity are the same, when the cookie-cutter characters fill the screen, the audience will naturally crave to see a more realistic and down-to-earth star image.
Huang Lei's "God Chef" image collapsed, which also gave other stars a wake-up call.
Instead of bothering to create a fake character, it is better to improve your strength in a down-to-earth manner.
In the final analysis, only real skills can withstand the polish of time and win everyone's recognition for a long time.
5. The "looking in the mirror" effect of the entertainment industry:
Celebrities and variety shows not only make fun for everyone, but also let us see our own shadow from them.
The audience can reflect on their own way of life by observing the behavior and remarks of celebrities.
The collapse of Huang Lei's personality has triggered people's thinking about "professionalism", "conceit", "interpersonal relationships" and other issues.
We have to stay calm, don't over-interpret, and don't make personal attacks.
Celebrities are also human beings, they make mistakes, and it takes time to grow.
We should look at the words and deeds of celebrities with an objective attitude and learn lessons from them, rather than blindly criticizing and blaming.
Moderation is the key to living in the world, and it is also the principle of chasing stars.
Overly obsessed with celebrity personalities, it is easy to lose oneself; is too demanding of the perfection of celebrities, and it is easy to go to extremes.
Only by maintaining moderation can you better enjoy entertainment and know yourself better.
The collapse of Huang Lei's "God Chef" character is just a microcosm of the entertainment industry.
In the future, the image of celebrities will emphasize more authenticity and personality.
Now the audience no longer likes those cookie-cutter "perfect characters", they want to see the real and multi-faceted side of the star.
For celebrities, this is both a test and an opportunity.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in the highly competitive entertainment industry, you have to be your true self and constantly improve your strength.
For celebrities, the Huang Lei incident is a warning.
Instead of living on a mask, it is better to put more effort into improving yourself and showing your true self.
The audience should chase stars rationally, don't be too obsessed with the image of stars, and at the same time restrain themselves and don't attack celebrities excessively.
The entertainment industry is a place of chasing fame and fortune, and it is also a magnifying glass.
It both highlights the strengths of the stars and magnifies their shortcomings.
And whether or not they can gain a foothold in this circle in the end depends on the star's own true strength and attitude towards the world.
