Chapter 10: The Economics of Decadence
When it comes to the cultural industry, the most powerful thing is really Eagle Sauce. It's also amazing to say, obviously there is no culture, but the cultural industry is doing well.
Don't be unconvinced, not only does Eagle Sauce make money, but it also makes money by learning from their footbasin and Smecta.
Well, Xiangjiang was actually not bad. As for why it didn't go well later, there are many reasons. Most importantly, they didn't learn Hollywood's industrial model.
is obviously in the name of Asian Hollywood, but he still does his own thing. Failure is inevitable.
What, the industrialized entertainment industry is boring, stars are just products.
Ahem, I don't want to argue here, each has its own good. From an economic point of view, there is nothing wrong with industrial standardization.
When it comes to indie personalities, you can't still watch movies from indie producers. These things are not too much, purely for interest.
Akihabara, a commercial district of less than 22,000 square meters. The footbasin definitely has a special meaning.
Originally, it was just an electrical street. At most, there are a few comic book houses. Ahem, as for now, William White, who is standing on the street, is a little confused13.
Why did the style of cosplay suddenly come to an early date? It seems that it will not be until after the new millennium, right?
Obviously, our richest man did not realize that because of his appearance, many things in this world have changed. Take cosplay as an example, when you recommend the world of legends, you have already played a similar trick, can you say that someone else's footbasin can't be copied?
"Fujita, is this Evangelion?"
"Yes, bosses, not only them, but more than ours. According to our survey, the number of people who are accustomed to comics and games began to surge after the bubble economy burst.
These children don't seem to like work very much. 5800 odd jobs per hour, and I don't want to find a decent job.
When you're done at work, you can either go home and play games or soak in a comic book store.
Ahem, the maid coffee shop across the street is all this kind of guy. A week's pocket money may only be enough for two hours. ”
Well, William White wouldn't mind giving it a try. It's a pity that he brought too many people. The appearance of these big men may frighten those otaku.
Feeding was originally very hilarious, but suddenly broke into a group of wild boars, cough cough, that picture is so beautiful, in case you are scared to pee two more, it will not be very good.
"Fujita, are there no experts or sociologists who question this phenomenon?" William White stumbled as he looked at the girl who walked by with two explosive heads.
Nima, what kind of demon is this? Scared the baby to death.
"The boss is careful, of course someone criticizes. But it's useless, in the eyes of some parents, it's better than indulging in a pachinko room.
The two pork chops that just walked past are now called New Humans. They like to pursue alternatives, a bit like the counterculture of the United States. ”
"I'll them, why do they paint themselves like pandas. I've always thought that in addition to geisha, ordinary women's makeup still likes to be fresh and natural. ”
"Ahem, that's good, it's a little more exaggerated. If the future of the footbasin is in the hands of these people, there is no hope at all. ”
William White smiled wryly, but he was a little unimpressed by Fujita's words. You can only see this kind of scene in places like Ginza, Ikebukuro, and Akihabara. Go to some normal places, and there will be no more of these monsters.
Moreover, the worse the economy, the better the business of the pachinko parlor will be. The more profitable the arcade is. The better the sales of manga and game cartridges.
Therefore, the economic take-off of the foot basin, William White may not be able to make much. On the contrary, it is the current one that can maximize his interests.
William White is a little strange that there are so many countercultures in the United States, and the main trigger is the Vietnam War. Because the economic crisis is like this, it's really ironic.
As for whether it is a generation that has been derelicted?
This is not necessarily, Jobs is still a representative of the anti-mainstream in the United States. However, those new humans just now were really scary. Nima, when she wakes up in the middle of the night, if she sleeps on the side, there is a high chance that she will cross again.
Ha, it's still a big rabbit with incisive words. What's the matter, you're anti-mainstream, you're called non-mainstream. Don't put grease and powder on your face, Eagle Jam doesn't do the same thing as you.
The so-called new human beings are a special term for many young people born after 1960.
Compared with the previous generation, these young people are more emotional than intellectual, argumentative but not silent, prefer sound, light and images to reading, pursue material pleasures but lack spiritual life, and attach importance to the relationship between friends but ignore the ethical order of respect and inferiority of the old and the young.
Later, a trend of feminization of men and masculinization of women was formed. You can tell from the dress of office women in this era, with high and thick shoulder pads that make them look burly.
These so-called new human beings, women are becoming more and more competitive and strong, emphasizing fitness and strength in body type, and like to smoke and drink, while men are popular to wear women's clothing, learn to imitate women's dress, and attract the opposite sex with their appearance and appearance.
They have very different values and economic views than the previous generation. New products targeted at them have also emerged. In all respects, the later new human culture was formed.
You see, men's shirts are starting to cinch their waists, and suits are starting to split at the sides. As for the stud lipstick, I won't go into it one by one.
It's not the same as the same sex of the American imperialists, although there are also foot basins, but there is no universality. The relatively feminine outfit makes them like it very much.
A day on the street, if there is one word to describe it, is decadence.
"Honey, after a day of shopping, I didn't see you buy anything and come back. ”
"Suzuki, it's strange, you are yourself, can you tell me why those people on the street are different from the ones I usually come into contact with.
You see, the waiters at the hotel are all polite and smiling sincerely. Why is it that when I go outside, it gives me a very decadent feeling. ”
Suzuki was stunned, she hadn't thought about this question. In fact, she is not familiar with Tokyo.
"Perhaps, maybe it's because life is too stressful. Those friends of mine, all you can say is that they are very hard, where can you talk about decadence?"
"Ha, don't talk about it, you don't understand. Besides, the people you come into contact with are all from middle-class or above families. It's not the same, it's not the same thing at all.
By the way, what about Jiaxin, what did you get out of today?"
"In the shower, it's so late, we thought you were out in the wild. ”
"Ahem, give me hot milk, I'm a little tired today. ”
"Okay, you wait a minute, right away. ”
William White shook his head and smiled bitterly, this girl, she still uses honorifics when talking to him.
Decadence is decadence, he also has a lot of money. It's just that his children had better not come to this ghost place.
The daughter is not a big problem, even if she becomes a strong woman, she is happy to see it. The son can't do it, if he becomes full of motherhood, he will cry without tears.
Don't say anything impossible, this culture of foot basins is rapidly spreading like Asian countries.
Alas, it's all the eagle sauce that is not good, and you hit it too hard. Directly beat the foot basin into a small suffer, but it doesn't matter if it's a family, you can like it.
However, the economy is not good, but entertainment-related products are good. TV series, comics, games, music, they are developing at an incredible pace.
