Rubbing, rubbing, rubbing on this smooth ground, in the moonlight I saw my own figure, sometimes far away and sometimes very close, feeling a force driving my footsteps...
Remember Pang Mai Lang who sang "My Skate Shoes"?
Now that he has been in a mental hospital, from the fire to the madness, who destroyed him?
I believe that everyone remembers the grassroots character Pang Mailang who exploded on the Internet two years ago because of the song "My Skate Shoes", right? After setting off a frenzy on the Internet and disappearing into silence, he was recently on the hot search for being exposed by his agent that he was sent to a mental hospital because of his schizophrenia and serious illness. In the face of the current situation exposed by the agent, netizens were in an uproar and sighed.
When the song "My Skate Shoes" was first fired, netizens have always been curious and fresh, because the lyrics are grass roots, earthy, low, and funny, and netizens are crazy to forward and listen, resulting in this song being popular.
Coupled with the packaging of pang Mailang "ugly" by the brokerage company at that time, he became an Internet celebrity like Fengjie and Furong's sister, and for a time netizens found the object of ridicule and ridicule, and only then "praised" him.
Pang Mailang, whose real name is Pang Mingtao, was born in a rural family in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and the family made a living by growing sorghum and raising pigs. Although born in the countryside, Pang Mailang has never done farm work, only because when he was 12 years old, Pang Mailang suddenly fainted when he was waving a hoe in the field, and after being taken to the hospital by his parents, the doctor said that he was born weak and could not do heavy work, and since then his parents have decided to provide him with good education, hoping that he will be able to go out of the mountains in the future.
But unexpectedly, Pang Mailang is not the material for reading. After losing the college entrance examination, Pang Mailang went to work in other places with his good friends after a few years of mixing in the vocational school.
Pang Mai Lang has been a waiter, courier, KTV waiter, according to a friend who has worked together, Pang Mai Lang's favorite is still working in KTV, because he likes to sing when he was in school, the most favorite thing to do is to remember the lyrics, he once told his friend that if he can have a guitar in the future, he will definitely do something different.
Friends also revealed that Pang Mailang inadvertently learned about Michael Jackson when he was pointing songs to guests during his KTV work, and was amazed by his space steps, so he often secretly hid in the private room to practice space steps in front of the TV or mirrors, and often wrote songs in the private room, and his self-created songs have been written in thick books.
But he never told his colleagues about these behaviors, for fear of being ridiculed by them. Although he has been doing the lowest level of work, Pang Mailang has always longed for him to one day become a big star who is praised by the stars.
After a few years of wandering in the field, Pang Mailang, who was about to enter the age of establishment, would be asked when he would go home and get married every time he received a call from his parents from his hometown. The embarrassment of no money and the urging of his parents made Pang Mailang feel anxious again and again, and he also strengthened his desire to realize his dream of stardom as soon as possible.
So, after a deliberate decision, he quit his KTV job, took the only 6,000 yuan he had left, went to Beijing, and began to run around the major record companies, trying to persuade the company to sign him and help him out of the album. Finally, because of the distinctive grassroots atmosphere on his body, he was valued by a brokerage company.
The agency read the lyrics he wrote, and after talking with him personally, it had a bold idea to make him the next strange person like "FengJie", relying on Bo netizens to attract traffic and make money. Relying on the operation of the company, Pang Mailang really caught fire, and "My Skate Shoes" composed by him became a divine comedy that burned through the streets for a while.
In the face of his own explosion, Pang Mailang excitedly lost himself, thinking that he was really about to become a big star. So he changed his name to "international fan" - Joseph PangMerang, and told the reporter who came to interview him that he was born in Humidified Bik, had already held many concerts abroad, and hoped that he would become a person who could influence the world like Michael Jackson in the future.
However, when the reporter opened the mobile phone map to let him find his birthplace, Pang Mailang was annoyed and angry because of the preface and the afterword, angrily smashed the reporter's computer, and angrily rebuked the reporter for not treating big stars like this.
Even when reporters dug up his parents who were born in rural Shaanxi to verify him, he loudly denied that they were not his parents.
According to Pang Mailang's former brokerage company, Pang Mailang refused to participate in the commercial performances that the company received for him after the fire, on the grounds that he was worried that the company would share his money and did not want to be used by others to make use of his fame. He didn't even answer the call from his agent and took the business performance privately.
Because he refused too many performances taken by the company, resulting in the company losing millions of dollars, the boss sued him in anger. Without the promotion of the company behind the scenes, Pang Mailang also completely disappeared on the Internet.
However, he did not realize that his fame was the effect of the operation behind the company, and he firmly believed that he was a future star with musical talent, and he still insisted on taking over business performances.
However, because netizens originally regarded him as a joke of clowns, Pang Mailang also played a role of making fun of the audience every time he received an invitation to perform. Over time, he was already inferior and sensitive, and he began to become eccentric and moody.
In the end, because no one was willing to invite, he lost his financial resources and returned to his hometown. At home, in the face of the persuasion that villagers and parents did not understand, he often beat people with his airway, and finally in desperation, he was sent to a mental hospital by his family.
In fact, a careful analysis of Pang Mailang's experience from fame to madness really feels sad and sympathetic for him. Because he was born in the countryside, his appearance and interior were extremely ordinary, but he could not really face himself, and was blinded by his unrealistic fantasies, which led to him being used by brokerage companies to become a sensational clown in the eyes of netizens, and then after becoming famous, he was suddenly paid a lot of attention with the purpose of "judging ugliness" and spoofing, destroying the last dignity.
It also allowed him to lose himself in the rapid transition from enjoying the spotlight overnight, to suddenly returning to the original state, so that he could not bear all this in the end, and eventually became schizophrenic.
Here, in fact, I don't want to make too many criticisms and accusations against Pang Mailang's own ridiculous behavior, although many words and deeds do make people feel absurd, but I think what really drives Pang Mailang crazy is those netizens who are keen on judging ugliness.
Pang Mailang's own unrealistic delusions about himself are of course the initial reasons that led him to embark on this tragic road of no return, but it was also caused by Pang Mailang's own lack of personal cognitive ability, and what really completely destroyed him was the hilarious pursuit of everyone when they played with him as a clown, and the contempt and ridicule when he himself wanted to further use everyone's psychology to continue to move forward.
On the one hand, he is ridiculed and ridiculed as a joke, and on the other hand, he despises and ridicules him, saying that he is a clown who sensationalizes the public, saying that he is ugly and freaking, and saying that he is a strange thing. After taking advantage of the emotional value that others bring to themselves, and then turning around and scorning their ugliness, this is the real ugliness.
Therefore, compared with the Pang Mai Lang, who are laughing at the pranks and looking forward to seeing jokes, and at the same time despising the keyboard heroes who insult, they are the ugliest and ridiculous people.
There is nothing wrong with having a dream, but I also hope that everyone can correctly understand themselves, and hope that there will be no next Pang Mai Lang.
