Chapter 415: The Involuted Korea and the Exported Korean Wave
After arriving in Seoul, the group had breakfast at a five-star hotel in Gangnam-gu, where breakfast was mainly Western-style, but there were also rice, kimchi, and miso soup, which are popular among East Asians.
The person in charge of the Korean branch of Xingchen Technology is named Li Qi, who was born in Jilin and is an expert on South Korean issues for almost 20 years.
"Studying in Korea is not an easy choice, and it is too stressful to survive in this place." Speaking of Li Qi's study experience in South Korea, Luo Jia asked with a smile: "Do you know which country has the highest suicide rate in the world?" ”
Everyone answered that it was neon, after all, everyone knows that the neon society is extremely depressing, and everyone lives a life of wearing masks.
It is also often seen in the news that neon people like to jump on the tram tracks, and they also specifically pick the rush hour of commuting, and there is the legendary suicide forest, where couples come out of the love hotel and gently walk into the depths of the forest, committing suicide by the way.
"It used to be neon, but now, the country with the highest suicide rate in the world is South Korea." Li Qi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Not only that, but in 2018, South Korea and the birth rate have fallen below 1.0 point, officially becoming the world's last birth rate." ”
In 2017 alone, more than 19,000 people immigrated to North America, and more than 100,000 people immigrated to the world, creating a ridiculous record of crazy outward migration from developed countries."
"You know, most of the immigrants are from underdeveloped areas, to developed countries, only Koreans, they run around, I heard that in addition to the Chinese people in Africa, the most are Koreans, they are willing to give up their lives in South Korea, run to poor areas, the reason for this is not there, the society is highly involuted, the pressure is too great, life is really tired, and there are even crazy Koreans, who went to the Middle East to spread Christianity, and I heard that they were killed by terrorist organizations."
Everyone listened to Li Qi's words, and their eyes widened, in movies and TV, South Korea is always very glamorous, and the bustling nightlife in Gangnam District, even men will paint themselves with exquisite makeup, as if they are cowherds, but in the real world, South Korea's suffering can probably only be experienced by Koreans themselves.
Luo Jia waved her hand disapprovingly, "I don't care about the Korean problem at all, I only know that today's South Korea, the standard of living surpasses my country in an all-round way, in line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, everyone must not be deceived by those unscrupulous public accounts." ”
"What Korean pork is too expensive, fruits are too expensive, ordinary people have a hard life, it's all, fruits are indeed not cheap, but their income is higher, and if you buy watermelons in China, ordinary watermelons are a pound for a dollar, 8424 is at least four dollars a pound, the quality is different, the price is naturally different, no matter where you go, this is the truth."
"Students must remember that if the rise of the Chinese nation needs to trample on South Korea from the developed countries, then step on it to death!"
"I brought you to South Korea this time, not to let you chase stars, but to let you see our neighbors with your own eyes, learn from their experience, avoid the mistakes they have made, and the most important thing is to learn from their experience of cultural aggression."
……
After breakfast, everyone began to split up, the Wen brothers and Li Qi, the head of the Korean branch, will go to Jiangnan University to meet with Professor Cui Yingtai, Luo Jia will not go, after all, the big boss always has to appear at the last critical moment.
Another group of people was led by Shen Lang, and the team of Xingchen University was in charge of culture and entertainment, and they came to the Korean entertainment industry to inspect this time, and by the way, they acquired a company, the largest company in Korean entertainment brokerage, SM.
Some people may think that there is nothing to learn from the country of sticks, and those who hold such an idea may be a little arrogant, because not long ago, the Korean entertainment industry invaded China.
TVXQ, Girls' Generation, many unnamed Korean groups or idols are all the rage in our country, and rhythmic Korean songs are playing everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Any Chinese person should face up to the fact that our cultural industry has not only been invaded by the West, but also by South Korea!
In the end, how did we end the Hallyu fever?
It's not that we beat them back in the cultural field, but relying on the authorities' ban on South Korea, assuming that there is no ban on South Korea, today's Chinese young people may not be able to tell whose music they are listening to.
"Sometimes I often can't help but think, if the ancestors have spirits in the sky, and learn that their unscrupulous descendants actually worship a group of Koreans to death or live, I should feel very embarrassed, right?" Luo Jia joked with her classmates.
Shen Lang, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly frowned and said in a low voice: "Teacher, I think the essence of Korean entertainment is still the cultural invasion of North America to my country. ”
Luo Jia was stunned, and at the same time, everyone's eyes widened, looking at Shen Lang in confusion, this conclusion was too amazing, even Luo Jia felt incomprehensible.
After a slight pause, Shen Lang said with a relaxed expression: "In my opinion, Korean entertainment itself is an imitation of North American entertainment, in terms of music style, almost every group is electronic music and Hiphop, which is very European and American, the only thing worthy of praise is that Korean artists are more literate, and they work harder on stage than European and American stars, and they often sweat profusely after a performance..."
Shen Lang has a calm attitude, talks eloquently, and uses many examples to explain his point of view, the artist's makeup, and even tattoos, can find the source from European and American culture, so in Shen Lang's view, the so-called Korean entertainment is only an imitation of European and American culture, and in essence, this is still the cultural aggression of the West against China.
If Shen Lang only observed that Hallyu is essentially a Western culture with a vest, then that's fine, but Shen Lang is Shen Lang, his vision and judgment have always been extremely sharp, and a few minutes later, he said an even more shocking opinion.
"I don't think Hallyu is a bad thing, at least it has a little bit of a boost to East Asia." Shen Lang said: "It can be regarded as lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot, although the West has successfully bred the secondary culture of the Korean Wave, and the Korean Wave has also successfully invaded our country, but at the same time, the West never expected that they themselves would be attacked by the Korean Wave and impact the white supremacy they promoted." ”
Listening to Shen Lang's words, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, the Korean Wave impacted white supremacy? It's a novel idea.
Shen Lang frowned, "Maybe you have noticed that for many years, in those Hollywood movies, Chinese people have always been short and slightly fat, with flat facial features, and not three-dimensional image." ”
"It may be that I feel the threat of our star world, recently Marvel is ready to shoot Qi, launch the first-ever Chinese superhero, but look at Shangqi's casting, I really can't be happy, convex cheekbones, small eyes, thin lips, just like Lu Xun's Yang Er's sister-in-law, how many years, Western cultural elites have changed one after another, but they still spare no effort to smear the image of our Chinese nation."
"Look around us, our relatives and friends, how many of them really look like that?"
"The image of the Chinese people established by the West is not the real Chinese people at all, from an anthropological point of view, it is a group of typical Southeast Asian people!"
Swish~
There was an uproar on the bus, and everyone made an expression of sudden realization, recalling European and American movies and television, the Chinese people in it are indeed very different from reality, but they are closer to the image of Southeast Asians.
Some people may object that in the American drama The Walking Dead, the Chinese named Glenn is quite handsome, however, Glenn's setting in the play is not Chinese, but a Korean.
Zhang Qidou pursed his lips, "I think of the Chinese boss who opened a restaurant in Man in Black 3, not only the image that Brother Lang said, short and fat, with a flat face and small eyes, but also ridiculed Chinese restaurants for not paying attention to hygiene and morality, and even alien creatures are used as ingredients by Chinese restaurants, which is simply a joke that we Chinese people eat dog meat." ”
Everyone has talked about it, everyone has seen the movie, but everyone didn't think in the direction of racial discrimination before, and now carefully recall, the image of Chinese in Western movies is really hacked, and the West has always used the image of Southeast Asians to pretend to be Chinese.
Shen Lang continued: "Regardless of whether the popularity of Korean entertainment is good or bad, at least it makes Western people suddenly realize that the image of East Asians is fundamentally different from that of Southeast Asia. ”
"As for the comic of Shangqi, it was born from the beginning to be anti-Chinese, and it is known that Fu Manchu, one of the protagonists of this comic, is regarded as a typical oriental gangster, an anthropomorphic of the yellow peril in the eyes of Westerners, and is described as an image of a tall, thin, bald, sinister face, and the clothes of a Manchu official..."
Shen Lang said his own views and understanding, at this time the bus had already arrived at the destination, but Luo Jia let the car stop on the side of the road and wait, without disturbing Shen Lang's wonderful performance, at the age of fifteen, he became more and more good at thinking in a different way, and his thinking mode became more and more out-of-this, which made the teacher Luo Jia feel very gratified.
Everyone thought it was the Korean Wave, but Shen Lang saw the shadow of Western cultural aggression from the Korean Wave, Luo Jia was right, in this world, only culture is the ultimate hegemony, not long ago the Hong Kong government crisis broke out, the fundamental reason is that the lack of China's cultural export ability makes the young people of the Hong Kong government credulous to the West, become the marionette of the West, and do things that make the relatives and enemies happy.
All in all, Shen Lang's point of view is very clear, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch a mouse, it is a good cat, and the Korean Wave is relatively good in the world, at least better than the Chinese entertainment industry, the Chinese entertainment industry is really a place to hide dirt and dirt, and those celebrities will do nothing but hype and tax evasion, let alone export culture.
The Korean Wave is an object worth studying because of its proximity to China, no matter what the result is, after studying it first, taking advantage of the economic downturn, buying South Korea's largest entertainment brokerage company is the first step of Shen Lang's entire plan, not to those Korean stars, but to have a complete set of systems and talent training mechanisms.
In the end, the bus stopped outside the SM company, and Luo Jia did not enter with Shen Lang and them, he was afraid that he would be present and the young people would not be able to let go.
Looking at Chen Qingyue and Gu Beiyin, who had grown into slim and elegant ladies, following Shen Lang from left to right, the corners of Luo Jia's mouth couldn't help but rise, and chuckled, the young man has a future, and in terms of women, Shen Lang is much stronger than his own teacher.
"Let's go, let's go around the streets." Luo Jia turned around and said to Xu Chunbiao, Minister of Security.
It's not that Luo Jia is used to bringing bodyguards, but with Luo Jia's identity and status today, he has no choice.
