When I was a child, I was not popular with Mr. Ba and "Little Times", and many TV series at that time often scandalized the rich second generation, intentionally or unintentionally. In the play, they are either lustful, ugly and obscene, or unlearned, or bullying men and women, arrogant and domineering, it can be said that from conduct to IQ to appearance, they have been completely hacked. Later, I gradually realized that these were stereotypes born for the purpose of giving spiritual massage to the toiling masses. 
The rich second generation is not so unbearable, they are luckier than most people who have won the genetic lottery, even if their qualifications are mediocre, they can shine under the accumulation of money and resources. For example, Li Xiang's daughter Wang Shiling, who can wear famous brands when she is young, can be a real princess, and probably never needs to be secretly sad for "people have me and I don't"; and the recent black and red Yao Anna, the heroine that others can't snatch, she can be included in the bag as soon as she enters the industry, even if her acting skills are really immature. However, they are not absolutely lucky. Strong parents provide convenience for them and also put pressure on them. Many second-generation generations have been fighting against the ceiling hanging above their heads all their lives, and the life theme of "being refreshing and refreshing" has been postponed indefinitely. Oh, Xiang Zuo, who has been embarrassed to be on the hot search recently, is a typical case in this regard. 
I'm a wasted person" In the second season of "Infinite Transcendence Class", forty-year-old Xiang Zuo also went to be a student. As we all know, this show is "The Gathering Camp of Unwilling Actors", except for a few fledgling newcomers and semi-amateurs who play tickets across borders, most of them are "frustrated people" who have been in the circle for many years and have not made great progress on the road of actors. And Xiang Zuo is the most frustrated one among them. 
Let's take a look at what he said in his self-introduction: "For so many years, so many directors and producers in Hong Kong, China have not given me a space to act. "It's not a big brother, you can enter the industry if you want to enter the industry, and if you want to play the leading role if you don't have enough popular coffee spots, how can it be considered to give you space? Otherwise, do you know the folk tale of Zhang Songwen who has been dormant for many years and is a late bloomer? He Xiang Zuo, a 24k pure rich second generation, feels that the world has not given him enough gifts. 
Sounds annoying, doesn't it? But the reason why he didn't have enough was because there was a huge hole in his heart that was filled with dissatisfaction. As he himself said: Compared with other actors, he doesn't have a skill to compete in the market, and he feels like a waste. "Wasted people", what a ruthless self-evaluation. remembered the ridicule of netizens about him: the richest father, the most domineering mother, the most beautiful wife, and the most incompetent him. It turned out that the internal and external evaluations were the same, the same as low to the dust, and it was extremely low under the backdrop of the family. It seems that being Xiang Huaqiang's son did not bring him infinite glory, but only the inability to "delay in reaching perfection" and self-pity. 
No one can coexist with their bad self, so Xiang Zuo, who calls himself a waster, is also tossing on the road to self-proofing. From the narrative in the show, it can be seen that he has done two earth-shattering things for this. One is: 26 to 32 years old, seven years of retreat to practice martial arts, 10 to 12 hours a day, without looking at the mobile phone, the main focus is an isolated and retreat practice. The other is: I went abroad to wander for half a year without a penny, either sleeping in the temple or sleeping on the road, just to experience life. Just ......Forehead ......As for it? 
Very hard and very pretentious. After seven years of retreat and martial arts, he has defined himself as a hero; Wandering abroad in an extremely poor way, what's the matter, learning from Sakyamuni to put aside the wealth and appreciate the people's feelings, waiting for a moment to become enlightened and ascend to immortals. His exertion was all directed at a legendary pinnacle, very high, very unique, no second person to share with it, but very ethereal, very difficult to achieve. He is accustomed to chasing the perfection in his heart in solitude, immersed in the script of "those who achieve great things must first suffer their minds", forgetting and bitter. But the fact is that the four-person team led by Sun Wukong has to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, how can they achieve success if they don't fight naked with demons and monsters, and don't become more and more frustrated and brave in the thorny bushes? Stay in a vacuum? Vacuum can isolate filth and nutrients, just like Wu Zhenyu said, how to impress thousands of ordinary audiences with such a detachment from life? Instead of wandering abroad, it is better to take a walk around Mong Kok and feel some civilian fireworks. And the reason why Xiang Zuo is obsessed with "vacuum cultivation" is because he can't accept his ordinary, so he can't accept the ordinary path to success, and always wants to find another way and be unique.
Second, a blockbuster. 
It can be said that the more a person is unconfident and uncertain about the existence of "me", the more he cannot throw himself into the crowd, be with the light, and seek progress while following the crowd. "Chasing perfection and peak" is just a fig leaf, not covered by this exquisite script, afraid that the ugly ontology will be announced to the world, and it will be laughing and generous. However, obsessively wrapping this layer of cloth is often a disguised avoidance of real competition and the market, and will miss some opportunities and block some materials, which is equivalent to a detour to success in the secular sense. went around and around, but instead fulfilled the self-fulfilling prophecy of "I am a wasted person". 
He also said: I also want to try some other roles, but the label given to him by others is just a star. The mentors frowned again: You have been working hard in martial arts, but you have not shown your characteristics in filming, how can you attract others to come to you? Xiang Zuo directly answered the question: Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, after they were particularly successful as stars, they all made literary films one after another to prove themselves. Me: Be sober, they're them, you're you! 
is still "perfectionism", the role model in my heart is always very high, and I must compare with the top people. But the fact is: you haven't achieved so much in martial arts, and you don't have capricious capital in picking dramas. As a star with low achievements, if you want to transform, you have to show the sincerity of transformation. Forty people are all children and their fathers, but Xiang Zuo's words reveal a child's resentment: I am a piece of gold, you come and find me, why don't you come to find me? It is still a sense of absurdity immersed in one's own script and isolated from objective facts. He will self-doubt and self-attack, but blind self-attack is too painful, so he will unconsciously let the outside world also bear the blame, showing that he has no talent, not limited talent. Then, in the eyes of outsiders, he is arrogant, ridiculous, and low-eyed. Once again, the perfect closed loop of self-fulfilling prophecy. 
The cursed second generation is still the female mentor who is careful, Hao Lei and Tranquility both feel the sadness under his absurdity. Hao Lei said: After watching Xiang Zuo's performance, I feel that I am at the same frequency as him, especially low air pressure, I want to ask, are you usually lively?
Tranquility followed: his family was very strict, the last time I saw him, he was twenty-four or five years old, and he was going out to see friends at about ten o'clock in the evening, and he was scolded by his mother, and it was not easy for the child.
Wu Zhenyu next to him shook his head: You can't do this, Mrs. Xiang.
Although it is a cliché to blame the family of origin, strong parents and strict parenting can indeed have an irreversible negative impact on a person's personality. The strictness of his parents will be internalized into his strictness of himself, and the status of his parents will become the shackles he tries to break free, and he has to spend a lot of time and energy to prove that "I can achieve that high standard" and "I am Xiang Zuo, not just anyone's son", and then he is unable to let his vitality naturally stretch, to connect, to create, and he is still struggling in the crisis of existentialism until he is forty. That's why he is in a tense and sad state, always wanting to do something to make himself less bad, but he can't hide the sense of incompetence and inferiority that seeps into his heart.
Similar to "life suffering", there is also a fang ancestral name. Jackie Chan is a martial artist with a low level of education, so he especially hopes that he will have a son like Wang Leehom, who is polite, talented, and obedient. Presumably for Fang Zuming, Wang Leehom is not the first "child of someone else's family" in his life. His father must have compared him to various "ideals", and each time, he was the one who was defeated. So it's not that Fang Zu's name is so unsuccessful at the beginning, but that his father projected his inferiority complex on him, and then he really lived as a shadow-like existence to express his loyalty to his father. In addition, he also has to bear the grief that his mother has endured for many years, and is infected with a resentment towards his father, and finally simply carries out his rebellion to the end - "What do you want me to be, how I don't." ”
In contrast, Yao Anna is much better. When I was a child, my father neglected to accompany him because he was busy with his career, although he would also form some kind of deficiency, but at least there was no oppression, and when she grew up, she graduated from Harvard but wanted to enter the circle to develop, and her parents also spoiled and helped, and more or less out of guilt to compensate for her childhood. However, Yao Anna also has her own "imaginary enemy", that is, her sister - Meng Wanzhou. In her debut documentary, she expressed her doubts: Why does everyone like my sister and don't like me? One is a strong woman with outstanding achievements, and the other is an ignorant and broken shell princess, which is really cruel when compared together. But such an excellent sister will inevitably become a haze that Yao Anna is difficult to get rid of, because she was born under the same roof, it is too close, and there will inevitably be competition. Even if one day, she grows up and makes some achievements, but when she sees this peerless sister, the joy is inevitably mixed with a sourness.
In fact, there is no shortage of second generations in the circle who have been widely recognized for their strength, such as Wang Xiaola, Dong Zijian, and Tao Zhela, for many people, the loudness of their names even exceeds that of their parents' generation. The excellence of the previous generation is not the original sin, the key lies in the way of family education and the maturity of the parents' personality.
Dong Zijian and his mother Wang Jinghua But at the same time, I have to say that in the rich family, the complex family composition, excellent parents and siblings will naturally form an invisible pressure on the children in it, in order to stand out among the competitors to obtain the exclusive favor of their parents, in order to be able to walk the rivers and lakes independently one day and no longer bear the name of "so-and-so son and daughter", they must pay more efforts. In reality, there are many people who are exhausted and give up on themselves before this difficult goal is achieved. Slow, tired, hopeless......
Stills from the movie "Veteran" say so, the little people who didn't win the genetic lottery also have their own luck. Looking around, maybe no one in the family can support him, but fortunately, if he makes a little achievement, he can stand proudly in the C position and have a little more right to speak. The thrill of always being motivated and always rising is difficult for the second generation to obtain. So in general, God is still fair. It's just that sometimes I can't help but think that it's okay for us to suffer from Xiang Zuo.
