Nothing more than so-and-so found his girlfriend suspicious recently, and then asked the video shooter for help. The video shooter was filled with indignation, adding fuel to the fire, found a luxury car, installed a camera, created a scene to see the heroine of the story, and then lured the heroine to take the bait by means of luxury car temptation, rhetoric and a lot of money. When it was proved that the heroine was really a gold digger, the truth was announced, and the hero and heroine of the story had a big fight and ended up breaking up. Maybe the video shooter drives his own luxury car, walks around the street looking for beautiful women to get on the bus, and then talks beautifully and makes a lot of money. The beauty couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to associate or date with him, but she was teased at last.
This kind of video is foreign, domestic, provincial and foreign. The story is simple, and the ending can be guessed from the beginning. Nothing new, but even so, every such video has been played hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times.
We can't help asking, why are so many videos spoofing gold diggers now? And why is such a spoof video so popular? Careful analysis, the reason here is that this kind of video challenges the traditional concept, denies people's habitual cognition, satisfies some people's rebellious psychology and so on.
1, challenging the traditional concept of love
The classic love stories in ancient China include Butterfly Lovers, Legend of the White Snake, Romance of the West Chamber, Peacock Flying Southeast, Fairy Couple and so on. These stories have been sung for thousands of years and have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The hero and heroine of each story are all about love, no matter whether the other is rich or poor, they are determined to win, and love is vigorous.
Ancient poems praising love, such as "I want to know you, and I will live a long life without sorrow;" The mountains have no edges, the heavens and the earth are in harmony, the rivers are exhausted, there is Lei Zhen in winter, and there is rain and snow in summer. "Once the sea is difficult for water, it will always be amber" and so on all show the supremacy of love, and these loves have nothing to do with material things.
The video of spoofing money worshippers on the Internet subverts this concept and makes love vulnerable to money.
2. Challenge the traditional concept of money.
The ancient sages of China educated people, paying attention to "five measures of rice don't bend their backs", paying attention to "a gentleman loves money, takes it wisely, uses it moderately, and uses it moderately", and there are also sayings that "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and powerful people can't bend". Between money and morality, we must choose morality. Such as "Su Wu herded sheep" in Han Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang who left "nobody died since ancient times, and left it to take care of its history" at the end of Southern Song Dynasty, Tan Sitong who "I laughed at heaven with my own sword, and left me with courage to stay in Kunlun Mountain" in Qing Dynasty, and Yang Jingyu, the general of modern Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition forces. These are examples for future generations.
The online spoof video gives people the feeling that there is no bottom line and no morality. Anyway, just pay.
3. People's rebellious psychology
When it comes to rebellious psychology, people usually think of teenagers. In fact, people are rebellious at all times, but it is more obvious in adolescence. An important manifestation of rebellious psychology is to seek psychological self-affirmation and satisfaction by denying authority and being unconventional.
Before the advent of the Internet era, people's rebellious psychology was difficult to gather in a narrow space, and the influence of individual rebellious psychology on mainstream social thought was not obvious. In the Internet age, distance is no longer a problem. People with the same interests will be connected through the Internet, such as some online forums and QQ groups. In this case, any concept will have a market, not to mention those who are unconventional and deny classics and authority.
4. What do you think of this spoof video?
After watching these spoof videos, most people are filled with indignation, and the most intuitive feeling is that money is paramount. Rich people will love you, but you can only be dumped if you have no money. In fact, this is misleading, treating individual phenomena as universal phenomena and "false, ugly and evil" as a fashion.
