The first thing is that a busybody took a photo of Dou Wei taking the subway. Dou Wei in the photo has completely lost the style of the Panther era, and her hairline has moved back seriously. The whole body has also expanded into the typical shape of an ordinary middle-aged fat man at will, and the face covered by sunglasses seems to hide the decadent and self-destructive habits of the loser's face. Because it is human nature to express a little emotion in this photo, time is a butcher's knife, and a romantic genius can't escape uncle's fate in the end. This lyric is just and natural. But it soon rose to the level of value judgment, saying that Dou Wei was disgraceful. This of course represents some voices, because in their minds, the value of human existence comes from the affirmation of the group and others, so they accept all the popular values of this society.
In their eyes, Dou Wei is a loser because the frame of reference is too obvious. His ex-wife Wang Feigui is a diva, beautiful and rich, living as carefree as a fairy. Occasionally revealing her true identity will make the hearts of ordinary people pound. Another frame of reference, such as Wang Feng, is a rock star, but he is worth millions. He usually entertains himself. Picking up girls can get rid of Bai and Zhang Ziyi in one fell swoop. Dou Wei, by contrast, is so embarrassed. Although works are published every year, no one knows. In Beijing, the city where Audi is becoming Alto, its main mount is the subway.
This naked win-lose mentality quickly angered those students who were not so snobbish and wrote articles to refute this idea of being brainwashed successfully. They gave the most consistent roar. Do you know the value of Dou Wei? Do you know the new music he wrote?
The second thing is much sadder. Wang Guozhen passed away these two days. Of course, many young friends don't know him. A simple metaphor, he is Jing M.Guo, a poet in the 1990s. The dead are the most important, and modern people certainly don't care about what they think is stale morality. A seemingly bigger argument than the Dou Wei incident is slowly unfolding.
Critics believe that the melatonin sold by Wang Guozhen is a poisonous weed wrapped in cheap sugar coating. This hypocritical and artificial poem left a deep legacy. Wang Guozhen is the ancestor of the so-called positive energy, which is so big and inappropriate. The subtext is that such people are dead and not memorable. Supporters believe that Wang Guozhen really influenced the generation at that time. You didn't enjoy his benefits at that time, but now you take the blame and deny others. Be kind. At this time, just like all debates, the question is put aside, and all kinds of thinking tricks are left. For example, you don't want to be a gentleman's belly, and your aesthetic ability is low, but that year doesn't count me, and you basically started kicking and stumbling.
These two things are quite depressing, but I am depressed in different ways.
For the first thing, the first thing we see is the struggle between secular values and idealism, but after careful study, it is still a game between two utilitarianism. The former is obvious, of course, it is primary and primitive, and it is the philosophy of local tyrants. What money or money can buy is the criterion for judging. The latter is even more obscure. As arrogant as "my movie is for people in the next century". It also has its utilitarian scale. It places its hopes on history, and it firmly believes that history will give him a reasonable price. They offset this secular anxiety with the imagination of leaving a name in history.
To be honest, these two values are the same in my eyes. I prefer to see a more casual value. Life doesn't have to have the value recognized by the outside world, or a person's value should come from his self-recognition. It seems that Dou Wei has been kidnapped by external standards. I appreciate some young people's indifferent words: what I do is none of your business. Only when there are more people like this can the uneven polymorphism of the world become a reality and an independent self become possible.
My feelings about the Wang Guozhen incident are complicated. I have no emotional connection with Wang Guozhen. As a die-hard engineering male when I was young, the name Wang Guozhen is as famous as Mars to me, but I know nothing about it. So the value of Wang Guozhen is out of the question. What I want to say is that when I was a child, I liked Jet Li very much, and I also liked his "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard". At this age, I can certainly judge the true value of this film, but this does not prevent me from liking it, because it is a part of youth. On the other hand, if you say that your love for something comes entirely from your intelligence and rational judgment, then you are heartless, just as you like a girl because she is beautiful and sensible. The value of emotion is that it transcends rational judgment (in fact, it is another kind of utility). If, as some friends said, you want to abandon some emotions brought by a companion in adolescence with your current understanding of Wang Guozhen, it would be inhuman.
It is also worth noting that there is a sense of intellectual superiority in the current debate. What I see behind this intellectual superiority is a sense of power, an urgent need to establish a hierarchical order in the aesthetic field. However, we don't know whether this order of value can really guide aesthetic taste to become noble.
In the events of Dou Wei and Wang Guozhen, what I feel most is that we are eager to take sides, which may be due to the increasingly tense and divided state in the field of values, or the need for self-confirmation in our hearts. I think a friend accidentally let the cat out of the bag in a circle of friends. He said that he didn't see anyone saying that Dou Wei was disgraceful at all, and he didn't know why there were so many counterattacks at once. Perhaps the truth is this: in this boring era, we need an enemy too much to smooth the emptiness caused by the idling of values, try to confirm our drifting position, and use this heroism to create an epic of our own.
