Super Rich System: I spend money for China!

Chapter 420: Profundity and Superficiality

The audience watching the movie were stunned. Their emotions, which had just calmed down a little, suddenly stagnated. They all looked at the screen in disbelief.

The last scene is a young face, a narration voice, and a picture.

The picture shows a statue under the setting sun. The statue is shining in the sun. It is the image of You Chengzhi, and there is a sign next to it.

【The ruins of the underground world, the "light" that illuminates the underground——Mr. You Chengzhi. 】

The narration is the voice of You Chengzhi, but the voice has been specially processed so that it sounds very old while still being audible to everyone.

"I want to be the faint light that illuminates the underground forever. After you return to the surface, please leave me there. Let me continue to illuminate the underground."

Qu Chu was the first person to see all the scenes and lines in the script. No one was ahead of her.

But when she actually saw the filmed version, she still felt a lump in her throat.

Whether from the perspective of an actor, an investor, or an audience member, Qu Chu feels that this film is very successful and even completely exceeds Qu Chu's expectations.

And there is one thing that this movie did very well. It didn't turn on the lights when the ending song started playing, but waited until the Easter eggs were all released before turning on the lights.

Everything was much better than Qu Chu had expected.

After watching the Easter egg, she did not stand up immediately, but looked at the situation around her. No one stood up immediately, but looked in the direction of the movie screen in a trance.

Although he turned around to see other people's reactions, Qu Chu still paid attention deliberately and did not give Si Jin next to him the chance to see his face. He did not look in the other's direction from beginning to end.

Many people had just calmed down, but their emotions were stirred up again because of the final Easter egg, and their expressions now looked very surprised.

Qu Chu saw the girl behind her. She seemed to have wiped away her tears, but the last Easter egg made her eyes red again and she started crying again.

Qu Chu: ...

Since it’s like this, then it should be... maybe, maybe it’s because you think it looks good?

Qu Chu didn't say much. She secretly glanced at Si Jin and the other two people beside her. Seeing that none of them had any intention of leaving, she didn't say anything and went to see her aunt and grandmother.

"Does it look good?"

Qu Chu asked his grandmother and aunt in a low voice, looking in their direction.

When grandma heard this question, she smiled.

Because of her long-term hard work and her old age, her face was covered with wrinkles, and her expression at this moment seemed a little weird.

But Qu Chu could see that there was a hint of pride in that smile.

Sure enough, the next second, Qu Chu heard his grandma say.

"It looks good. You did a great job."

"There should be more movies with this kind of depth."

Upon hearing this, Qu Chu smiled and nodded, without saying anything to refute.

But Qu Chu knew that it was impossible.

Although there must be such movies, it is impossible for all the films on the market to be of this kind.

There is no other reason, because it is too depressing. The audience turns on the TV and goes to the cinema. In fact, the purpose is the same, which is entertainment.

They need something relatively "vulgar" for entertainment, something that doesn't require much thinking and is easy to understand.

In her previous life, Qu Chu was an actress, so she must have done in-depth research on media matters, and she had seen a title like this.

Popular culture has become popular, causing serious and profound thoughts to compete with superficial and vulgar things. What is the result?

A. Nothing

B. Equally matched

C. The former defeated the latter

D. The latter defeated the former

When I saw this question at that time, I chose C without hesitation. After all, in her eyes, serious and profound things are often thought-provoking. This kind of deep thinking is what everyone needs at any time.

However, the result is exactly the opposite.

The correct answer is D.

When she saw the answer, she was stunned for several seconds, and then she found it very ridiculous.

Later, she read the book carefully and also read the analysis of this question.

There is a paragraph written below.

The general meaning is that mass media has broken down the communication barriers between the elites, the aristocracy, and the general public, allowing everyone to have the opportunity to access traditional high culture. However, the prevalence of popular culture has gradually eliminated this possibility.

Things of low value often squeeze out things of high value from the mainstream. When excellent culture and art compete with mediocre culture and art, and when serious and profound thoughts compete with superficial and clichéd models, the latter often win.

Later, Qu Chu used this sentence to reflect on the Internet culture in contemporary society, which is actually very easy to understand.

For example, take the currently popular Tik Tok. Some of the more popular "Internet memes" are circulating everywhere on the Internet. Even when you walk on the street, you can hear a child who is only a few years old say a word.

Similarly, on Tik Tok, there are some highly respected professors and academicians who also have accounts and have posted a lot of in-depth and informative content, but how many people will actually read them?

Some people may stay and watch for a while, then give a gift to show their support, or leave a message on the barrage to interact, and then leave quickly.

Some people just swipe away without even looking at it.

Those who really stay may end up being closely related to what these people say.

In fact, it is very easy to understand.

Because not everyone can understand profound things, but everyone can understand simple and easy to understand things, or even things that can be said to be "vulgar".

Another crucial issue is that when people open these entertainment software, most of them are just looking for "entertainment". How many people will stop to see something that really requires thinking?

They are here to have fun, not to study.

Sometimes they don’t even realize that they are being led by others, and they are too lazy to think about what others are saying. How can they think about these things?

Of course, it’s not to say that it’s bad to follow trends in entertainment, but there should still be a limit.

Although Qu Chu's Ru Chu Media will certainly produce films that can trigger deep thinking more frequently than others, it will also produce some things that everyone likes to watch.
