In 2004, "Southern People Weekly" published a special issue "50 Influential Public Intellectuals in China".
Public intellectuals are defined as: intellectuals with academic background and professional qualities, or actors, idealists, and advisers who have a critical spirit and moral responsibility for society and participate in social and public affairs.
That would be a compliment.
Later it became a derogatory term.
The concept has changed. Now when we mention public knowledge, everyone knows what kind of group we are talking about.
And this type of group was not born after 2004. People looked back and found to their horror that they already existed as early as the 1990s!
He created a series of masterpieces such as "Japanese Summer Camp", "German Sewer" and "American Little Passport".
Now, these people show up!
It can even be said that this is the first time that a group of people have appeared on the domestic Internet on a large scale because of a hot topic - they were all fished out.
Professor Xiao first posted an article titled "Allergy to Ugliness", which was posted on the community homepage.
Shining plus V certification: Professor of the Department of Philosophy, Tsinghua University!
Oops!
Netizens were surprised by this identity, but also expressed different opinions.
"Why should we not be allergic to ugliness instead of letting creators create beautiful things?"
"Open innovation does not mean deliberate ugliness. Anyone with eyes can see that. Lu Yan's appearance is deliberately uglifying!"
"This is like those underground films of the sixth generation, which were filmed exclusively in the garbage dump at home, and then sent to foreign countries for awards. If the foreign adults say "good", they will feel superior to others!"
These are quite reasonable, but netizens are diverse, and some directly criticize them.
"Go away, you mother is allergic to ugliness, pretend to be your mother, pretending to be confused because you understand!"
"Insult to the reputation of Tsinghua University, cultural traitor shall die!"
"You bitch traitor, get out!"
Professor Xiao is very effective in fighting. The more netizens scolded him, the more they criticized him. They posted another article:
"This is the first time I have expressed my opinion on an online platform, and the result was extremely surprising. Observing humanoid animal performances is a kind of leisure and entertainment.
The debate is only for people who are rational enough to debate, and we will establish two principles here: first, do not talk to coelenterates; second, do not treat Internet rabies as human beings."
The kind of group ridicule that will directly attract everyone!
Professor Xiao single-handedly started the second stage of the discussion. Various netizens rushed in crazily, and various public intellectuals appeared one after another to support Professor Xiao while also expressing their own attitudes.
"Grandma Liu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a clown. But compared to the dignified and solemn Mother Jia, she is more interesting, more energetic, and more approachable. Can we say that Cao Xueqin is vilifying the working people when he writes about Grandma Liu?
?
The characteristics of the clown are weird, deformed, and incomplete, giving people a sense of abnormality, comedy, and ridicule. This not only reflects the richness and diversity of social life, but also reveals the rich vitality of human life."
"If you don't understand art, it's best not to rush and make noise. This trend has become more and more popular in recent years. Killing people with a majestic knife will cause bloodshed. It is worth reflecting on."
"There are also those who look like Down syndrome. This is not only discrimination against people with Down syndrome, but also discrimination against people with similar looks. Everyone deserves to be drawn."
"Requiring aesthetic unification means there is no aesthetic. Aesthetic education is to allow everyone to find their own aesthetic among many works..."
"The national aesthetic is too backward and needs enlightenment!"
For a time, it was very lively.
Everyone found that professors from Hubei University were here, editors from Southern Metropolis Daily were here, reporters from Beijing News were here, literary critics were here, well-known artists were here, celebrities were here...
Their writing style is sharp, they have high-level views, and precise points. They are very good at sophistry with a pen, and each of them has a relatively conspicuous social status.
Compared with this, netizens are simply a mob and are losing ground.
Anyone who has experienced this period knows how powerful the public is. It may be an exaggeration to say that they have the right to speak, but their voices can indeed be widely spread and are regarded as examples by many people.
Very few people dare to confront this trend head-on, and even if they do, they often fail to address the point because they are in the age of chaos and do not understand the crux of the problem.
In the past, hot topics in the community relied on print media for further fermentation.
This time, on the other hand, the community needs speed, breadth, and depth. The print media is a bit like picking up leftovers, but you also have to pick up leftovers. This is the hottest topic.
The biggest gain for the community is that these cultural people no longer choose to speak out in newspapers. It is so easy to register an account and how fast typing is. You can just roll up your sleeves and do it!
As a result, the editors of the community were also excited.
"Damn it, [Sima Bu Bei] took the initiative to apply for certification. Go and contact him quickly to make sure he is the person he is?"
"Fang Zhouzi also applied!"
"Hahaha, I invited Hong Huang to settle in, and she actually agreed! My bonus!"
"Ha, Xiao Da Jin also agreed!"
This wave attracted nearly a hundred celebrities, all of whom were connected with the past and full of controversy. They brought new perspectives, and original celebrities in the community, such as Han Han, Guo Xiaosi, Xu Cairen, etc. also spoke out.
It became more and more lively, with the whole network participating.
It has even deviated from the original intention of the discussion: Do Lu Yan and her makeup look good?
…………
"I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, we didn't expect it to get to this point!"
"The most important thing now is to control public opinion and develop it in a direction that is beneficial to you. We are still eager to cooperate with you!"
"If you agree, you might as well record a short video to explain. There is nothing more powerful than the person's personal statement..."
In Zhongguancun, Sun Juan hung up the phone and was so happy that he couldn't stand upright.
The team of Max Eslite has been placed in the office building here, and Sun Juan has come to take over, but he did not expect that he would encounter such an exciting thing when he first arrived.
What a pleasure!
It was not in vain that I followed Boss Yao and took the blame for two years.
The phone call just now was to Lu Yan.
About a day later, Sun Juan received a video shot in France, added subtitles, and posted it online - including Maili and Tudou.com.
The content is very simple. Lu Yan, her agent, and the two employees who originally discovered her, the four of them are sitting on the sofa.
There is a pile of newspapers and magazines on the table.
"Recently, we heard that there were some disputes on the Internet in China. We were very surprised when we learned about it, because this was not a controversial issue.
Now my friend, my partner Miss Lu Yan, is in great trouble, and we think we should stand up and explain the truth."
The agent is also French, with a high-pitched tone, dancing and exaggerated expressions.
"First of all, what surprises me the most is that you are actually arguing about whether Lu Yanpiao is beautiful or not? Oh my God, it's incredible. This can actually become a problem?
