Recently, Zou Yaqi, a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, did an experiment: playing a celebrity and living in Beijing for 21 days without spending money.
The young woman said she "ate and took cards" in airport lounges, slept in IKEA model rooms, rubbed in hot pot restaurants, bathed in mother-and-baby rooms and fitness centers in five-star hotels, and traveled by walking and taking rides with strangers.
Eventually, the "City Survival" guide appeared at the college's graduation exhibition in the form of a white sofa, a display case and two screens, which aroused people's interest.
Everyone is curious, how can you successfully play a celebrity?
According to Zou Yaqi's experience, first of all, you have to have a head. Zou Yaqi said that he first spent a few thousand yuan to buy a high-quality brand-name bag, and then used 18 yuan to buy a fake diamond ring, and also prepared two necklaces to wear in turn, and the luster of the pearl was as bright as the reflective strip on the sanitation worker's overalls.
There is a saying in the movie "Isabella": If there is no Rolex, it is not that others look down on you, but that they cannot see you at all. Respecting people first and then respecting people has always been the most intuitive and efficient law of stranger society.
The implicit clause in this rule is that your appearance cannot be too bad. Even the facelift is to create a quiet sense of luxury on the face, rather than a cheap yamagen copied in batches. Teeth are good, it reflects your upbringing and class. Judging from the photos, Zou Yaqi is fashionable and beautiful, naturally adding to playing a celebrity, she also painted herself a big red lip that does not look very good, and the image of a quasi-celebrity is vivid.
With the external "battle robe", the temperament of the celebrity must also be accurately grasped, and the indispensable thing is self-confidence. Without self-confidence, you can't walk into the VIP room without blushing; you can't find a luxury clerk to shop for a shopping bag without shopping, (it is said that the shopping bag is still hard currency, which can be sold for 20 yuan on a second-hand website); and you can't immediately reply to "I didn't renew my room when I didn't check this person in the hotel, but I want to wash my face and make up a makeup before the date, can I?" ”
After watching Zou Yaqi's works, some people said that it was "real celebrities dressed as pseudonyms and pseudonyms", speculating that she had a delicate face and could afford to study in art schools, and was originally a famous woman. "It's a bit like the big guy who figured out the mechanism and opened a new tyrannical novice village."
Whether people are there or not, it does not affect the critical nature of the work. It is undeniable that her makeup, her choice of where to eat and drink, and her words all hide a set of rules of the game. Let anyone ask for a shopping bag, he may not even have the courage to step into the luxury store. He may not know which floor the fitness center of a five-star hotel is usually located on.
Zou Yaqi can enter the art auction night show in 21 days, (an invitation from a friend), hang out with a picture book, try on expensive jewelry, and must exude a rich and leisurely temperament. Even if you run out of foie gras snacks, the waiter will smile and ask the back kitchen to bring another one.
Because of the 21-day long experiment, Zou Yaqi had the conditions for self-confidence. In this experiment, another category of subjects was habitually ignored—waiters in restaurants, security guards in hotels, and uniform NPCs in celebrity life. Not only do they have no sense of relaxation, but they are also people who often write anxiety on their faces. Whether this month's salary will be paid on time, whether this subway will be reversed, and whether it will be chased by the landlord tonight, they frown and move around in the big city.
To some extent, it is people's imagination of celebrities that has contributed to the success of Zou Yaqi's disguise. As long as those shining symbols are on the right side, you can welcome.
After the work was exhibited, Zou Yaqi heard a person who watched the exhibition say that when he came to Beijing, if he could think of this way, he would not have had such a hard time. He said he has been living in McDonald's and is a "wheat refugee" in many cities.
This is the biggest irony of the work, the over-resourced people play with the rules, and the people who need resources have no clue.
