Last year, CCTV made a big move, and a "Desperate Illiteracy" directly became popular all over the Internet, making our group of shining stars unable to sit still. To put it bluntly, many celebrities are in the area of cultural knowledge, well, how to say it, a little "stretched".
We've always been used to seeing them in front of the camera, and who wouldn't want to shine brighter under the flash? However, as soon as this article came out, it was like a layer of dust on their halo, it turned out that some of these big stars couldn't even distinguish between "soil" and "shi", let alone any unary equations. Moreover, I have to support the image of a student in front of the camera, isn't this unpleasant for myself?
Everyone knows that when a star appears on the camera, it must be glamorous, but behind this, some celebrities are like "half a bucket of water" in the area of knowledge, what should I do if I am timid? Then you can only rely on a little "fur work" to support the scene in front of the camera.
We're not picky, but this phenomenon is really puzzling. For example, if you ask a big star to talk about his profession or what he is good at, it will definitely be a lot of talking.
But once they talk about cultural knowledge, especially the kind of questions that elementary school students can answer, they start to "stop". Isn't that embarrassing?
Moreover, this phenomenon is not unique in the entertainment industry. Sometimes, in order to maintain their image, celebrities do not hesitate to "hold on" in public, but the more they hold on, the more embarrassing they become.
Jin Dong is a very well-known figure in the entertainment industry, but he is such a big star, and there are times when people are ridiculous.
I remember one time, in an interview, Jin Dong said in a serious way that he likes to read "the short articles of Nobel laureates in mathematics". As soon as these words came out, many fans were stunned and thought: Is there a mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize? Later, everyone checked, and sure enough, there was none. Isn't this embarrassing, what do you say Jin Dong thinks, he doesn't know how to pretend to understand?
And this is not the first time Jin Dong has "shined". As early as 2016, he posted a "popular science" about solar terms on social platforms, and as a result, he wrote "eternal unchanged" as "eternal unchanged", and "grass and trees sprout" as grass and trees "persuasion". This operation directly makes many people wonder, is this a limited level of education, or is the keyboard slipping?
Even the "Contradictory Literature Award" has been turned into the "Mao Dun Literature Award", although it insists on using traditional Chinese characters, it looks a little cultural, but this obvious mistake still makes people feel quite embarrassed.
Some people speculate that this is not Jin Dong deliberately doing this in order to pursue that "antique" style? But in any case, this kind of "innovation" obviously failed to win everyone's approval.
What's even more laughable is that once Jin Dong was asked on a show if he had any book recommendations, and his "pulling" appearance couldn't tell the reason for a long time. For a public figure, this situation is really embarrassing. Especially when everyone thought he would recommend some tall books, but it turned out to be empty.
Another time, in a behind-the-scenes interview with "The Pretender", he tried to show his bookish temperament, saying that he recommended the book "No Excuses" to the crew, claiming to be a foreign masterpiece. As a result, it didn't take long for everyone to find out that this book was completely apocryphal, and there was no such thing as a classic.
This series of "performances" not only did not allow Jin Dong to establish an image of a scholar in the hearts of fans, but instead made his mask of "intellectual" completely collapse.
Yang Yang's transformation can be described as a typical representative from "a highly talented student in military arts" to "full of loopholes in cultural knowledge", which really makes people sigh "world of difference".
I remember an interview, the reporter curiously asked Yang Yang what hobbies he had, and Yang Yang said: "I like odd numbers." "Sounds characteristic, right? But then, he counted "as an example." Well, there was a dead silence at the scene, and everyone was thinking, "Aren't these all even numbers?" "It's not just a matter of math knowledge, it's more like something is wrong with logic.
If you want to talk about Yang Yang's academic qualifications, it is actually quite enviable - after all, he is from a military background. But it was this kind of background that did not allow him to make achievements in cultural knowledge. What's even more embarrassing is that he originally studied dance, which may not have much to do with mathematics, but he should always understand the basic concept of odd and even numbers, right?
At another event, the reporter gave a suggestion, saying that if Yang Yang wore white, he might be more popular. As a result, Yang Yang came to the sentence "I can't drive it", which made the reporters present confused, what kind of operation is this? Even the basic vocabulary can be used incorrectly, which is really worrying.
In fact, everyone does not have too high requirements for the cultural level of celebrities, after all, everyone has their own strengths. But as a public figure, especially an idol loved by teenagers, it is still necessary to pay a little attention to your words and deeds, at least not to make such low-level mistakes in public.
Zhai Tianlin, the former "scholar" doctor, how did he become a joke in the entertainment industry overnight. In 2014, Zhai Tianlin proudly became a postdoctoral fellow at Peking University. Handsome, talented, and acting, he is simply an all-powerful gold medal talent.
However, the good times didn't last long, and a live broadcast collapsed his "altar". Someone curiously asked if he could find his ** on "HowNet", Zhai Tianlin looked dazed: "What is HowNet?" "It's okay now, the whole network has exploded. A postdoctoral fellow doesn't know CNKI, what is the difference between this and a primary school student who doesn't know the "Three Character Classic"?
As soon as this happened, everyone began to wonder, what is going on with this "doctor"? Could it be that this education fell from the sky? So, netizens have "dug holes" and wanted to do it. As a result, I checked it, oh my god, the repetition rate of this ** is frighteningly high, and it was almost not copied in full text.
This incident not only made Zhai Tianlin a laughing stock on the Internet, but also came out to comment on Beijing Film Academy and CCTV, and in the end, the former "scholar" not only lost his reputation, but also lost his postdoctoral position. It's really a night back to before liberation, but this time it is his status as a "scholar" that is liberated.
Although Liu Haocun and Zhao Lusi have been doing well in the entertainment industry, sometimes, in terms of knowledge and culture, it is also sweaty.
Let's start with Liu Haocun. As a "Mou Girl", her star journey looks bright. However, in an exclusive interview, when a reporter asked her what she thought of her peers, she replied really laughable: "A very hard-working actor, very hard-working, the performance can move me very much, very powerful, I like it very much." "It's like a repeater, and there's nothing new about it.
What's even funnier is that when the reporter asked her if she was a talented actor, she directly said: "Why not?" "This confidence is really convincing. The problem is that behind this self-confidence, there is no substance to back it up, and it sounds more like a castle in the air.
Let's take a look at Zhao Lusi, this post-95s little flower, compared with other stars, her reputation seems to be good. However, once in a variety show interview, she actually said that she only scored 16 points in mathematics, and she embarked on a "star path" because of this. This makes people sigh, is the threshold of the entertainment industry too low?
However, Zhao Lusi also has moments that make people cry and laugh. For example, in the drama "Hutong", she played a girl in the early days of liberation. But in the interview, she actually said that this was the story of the year the party was founded.
This kind of mistake in historical knowledge directly makes people speechless, as an actor in the play, I can't even figure out the most basic plot background, how do you still watch this play?
As soon as the stories of these stars were **, they immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Everyone began to discuss, what kind of standard should the cultural level of celebrities be? Should every photogenic star have excellent knowledge reserves? This is not only a question of individual stars, but also a big review of the cultural level of the entire entertainment industry.
Let's take a look at how fierce the response of this wave of ** is. First of all, many netizens began to dig into the "cultural loopholes" of more celebrities, trying to expose more similar cases. These discussions quickly heated up, and even some overly heated remarks began to attack the celebrities' personal person. This is obviously over, criticism is criticism, and attack is not right.
At the same time, there are also voices that have begun to call for reason. They believe that stars are first and foremost actors, and their main job is to act, not to learn.
Although cultural literacy is something that everyone should have, it is not possible to dismiss everyone because of the mistakes of a few people. This voice, while not dominant, adds some mild tones to the discussion.
What's more, these incidents have also attracted the attention of ** and educational institutions. Some educational institutions have begun to reflect on whether they should strengthen the cultural education of public figures, especially youth idols, so that they can not only shine in front of the camera, but also become cultural messengers who spread positive energy.
As for **, it began to scrutinize the words and actions of celebrities more strictly. After all, in today's information world, a word and an action may be infinitely amplified and become an important factor affecting the public.
CCTV's "Desperate Illiterate" is actually not only criticizing those stars with defective knowledge, but more importantly, it wants to beat the alarm bell of the whole society through these examples. In this era of looking at faces, do we ignore the importance of knowledge? Is it only the pursuit of superficial brilliance, and forget the inner enrichment and improvement?
The significance of this article is not to make the celebrities who are named blush, nor to make everyone laugh at them. It is hoped that through this incident, all public figures, including every ordinary person, can begin to pay attention to their own cultural literacy, continue to learn and progress, and become a well-rounded person.
For celebrities, they are the focus of the public, and they are also the vane of the social atmosphere. Their words and deeds not only affect their own image, but are more likely to become the object of imitation by fans. Therefore, improving one's own cultural literacy is not only responsible for oneself, but also responsible for society and fans.
Finally, I hope that this incident can become a turning point, so that more people will begin to pay attention to and value the learning and accumulation of cultural knowledge. After all, in this era of rapid development, only by continuous learning can we not be eliminated by the times and become a more perfect self.
