In recent years, the "love bean wind" has blown more and more fiercely, one talent show has not yet ended and another show has announced the start of filming, even foreign players have come to participate, and "rice circle culture" is becoming more and more popular.
Fans have a clear division of labor, the front line, the later stage, anti-black, accusation, hit the list... In order for their idols to get better and better, their support can be described as meticulous. The girl in the rice circle really feels the star, and the confused face of passers-by has become the norm now.
Japan's idol culture predates us much earlier, and the study of rice circles is more thorough. There is one such Japanese drama that is like a mirror, showing the hundred states of the rice circle - "So, I will push you".
As long as people who have chased the stars with a sense of truth and reality can almost see their own mental journey from this drama.
Ai Endo (Yuki Sakurai) is a typical contemporary urban empty office worker, she cares deeply about what others think of her, and can be described as a woman who lives in the evaluation of others.
In the company is the most serious, obscure one, but can not get the appreciation of the leader; eat with friends do not dare to loudly reveal their ideas; and boyfriend interaction is even more humble to the dust, even on the Internet photo has become a taboo for boyfriends, and finally the boyfriend broke up with her in public, and decided to leave.
Whether it is life or career, Endo Ai's life seems to be gray. Such people are all too common in life.
By chance, Ai Endo breaks into the performance scene of the underground idol Kurimoto Hana (Seishi Shiraishi). One of them was conspicuous, with a stiff posture, a far-fetched smile, and a half-beat slower movement than his teammates, looking clumsy.
This person is the little flower.
Looking at Xiaohua's clumsy appearance, she couldn't help but roar at the stage, accusing Xiaohua of being a cowardly and cowardly person who was not worthy of being an idol at all, nor was she qualified to stand on the stage at all.
But the more she scolded, the more sad she felt, because she saw the clumsy and humble self in Xiaohua.
However, what she did not expect was that Xiaohua was not knocked down because of accusations and insults, but stood up again, cut off the bangs that covered her eyes, and loudly promised on the stage that she would not escape, and the more frustrated she became, the more courageous she became.
This scene shook Endo's loving heart. Obviously, she is as timid and humble as herself, why can she have the courage to stand on the stage and chase her dreams and shine?
This subtle emotion made her a fan of Xiaohua. Successfully embarking on the road of star chasing, she began to meet with other friends in the rice circle.
Once in the rice circle as deep as the sea, since then, Endo Ai stepped into this beautiful and strange world, it is difficult to withdraw, and he is unwilling to withdraw.
She began to watch Xiaohua's live broadcast every night, no matter how boring it was. When there were more and more fans in the live broadcast room, she was also proud of Xiaohua.
For example, save the money you want to buy clothes for xiaohua to help, scold the company for being inhuman, and spend a huge amount of money to buy a photo coupon for xiaohua, but the money in the hands of Xiaohua is less than one-third.
Scolding the entertainment industry is too dark, want to go to the big stage to vote, and only by buying the surrounding area first can you be eligible to vote, or you are changing the law to empty the fans' money bags.
Look, is all this like you when chasing stars?
But after scolding, her life has indeed become much more fulfilling. Because she was in a hurry to leave work on time to go to the show, her work efficiency was greatly improved; because she shouted various support slogans when chasing stars, she became the atmosphere of KTV and also won the praise of the leader.
And love beans honor and disgrace, accompany each other, this emotion is very simple, and the happiness brought by star chasing is also the purest.
But everything must also have a degree, and crossing the line will be hurt, such as "bastard meals". "Illegitimate is not a meal" is the most common phrase in the rice circle, but no matter how to resist, illegitimate meals still emerge endlessly.
For example, this "bastard meal", the response to Xiaohua has reached the point of harassment. Buying all the photo coupons caused Xiaohua to lose a lot of fans, and finally caused the illusion that Xiaohua was her girlfriend.
For another example, the payment for love beans has crossed the line.
Xiaohua wants to go to a bigger stage, and the fans can't make up so much money to vote for her to get the first, at the critical moment, the heroine stands out, and the way she raises money is actually to be a anchor.
He fulfilled the love bean and sacrificed himself. I don't know whether to say that she is humble enough to make people feel painful, or whether she is fanatical enough to make people hate, in short, it is very heart-wrenching to see.
The camera turns to the interrogation room. In fact, the whole drama is told in the way of flashbacks, all the star-chasing process is the heroine's memory, what is the crime is not yet known, but it can be determined that the mistakes she made are related to Xiaohua.
Because of chasing stars, she almost took everything she had. How much do you care about your own life to be humble to this point for another person? It's really lamentable...
What Xiaobian wants to tell you most is that chasing stars will make us positive and bring us happiness, but if we cross the line, the price paid is also very painful. No matter when, the most important thing in life is still yourself!
So the ideal state should be to let love beans become your comfort when you are lonely, become the motivation when you are lost, and become the force that brings you happiness. Be with each other and become a better version of yourself.
