Chapter 304 Threesome
After Wang Shu returned to Beijing, he found that even in late April, many people were still talking about the Liu Dehua fan incident.
This incident, which started in late March, continues to be a hot topic.
However, the focus of the discussion this time is different from before. The main reason is that Yang Lijuan took Southern Weekend to court, claiming that the newspaper published "You Will Not Understand My Sadness" on April 12, 2007. The article seriously infringed on the reputation rights of her and her family, and demanded that Southern Weekend restore her reputation, eliminate the impact, apologize, and seek compensation for 300,000 yuan.
The case was heard behind closed doors at the People's Court of Yuexiu District, Yaodu City.
In an interview with reporters, Yang Lijuan expressed her confidence in the appeal.
It was this news that caused many people in the capital as far north to discuss it.
When it comes to entertainment stars in the country, Andy Lau is a name that has to be mentioned.
When it comes to star-chasing culture, Yang Lijuan is another name that has to be mentioned.
Because of a dream 13 years ago, Yang Lijuan, who was only 16 years old at the time, became crazy about the movie star Liu Dehua.
At that time, Liu Dehua had just passed his thirties and was only 33 years old.
At this time, Liu Dehua did not know that Yang Lijuan existed.
In the following 13 years, although the two of them were involved in a common public opinion because of each other, there was almost no story between the two that was worthy of being connected.
Until March 25, 2007.
On this day, with the help of the staff of the "Hua Tsai World" in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong Island, after thinking about it day and night for 13 years, Yang Lijuan finally got the opportunity to have a close contact with her idol Andy Lau.
However, this meeting between Liu Dehua and Yang Lijuan did not let go of Yang Lijuan's fanatical pursuit of Liu Dehua.
That night, the family settled in a 24-hour fast food restaurant.
The next day, Yang Lijuan’s father, Yang Qinji, left a suicide note of more than 2,700 words and committed suicide by jumping into the sea on Hong Kong Island.
Yang Qinji said in his suicide note that his daughter met her idol at a fan gathering, but Andy Lau treated his daughter "like many others" and did not meet her alone and give her an autograph. "This is unfair."
Yang Qinji's last wish is: "You should meet Yang Lijuan, sign her name, and save her. Apart from you, she has been isolated from the world. Only you are the call of her heart."
After the incident, many people wondered what exactly happened between Liu Dehua and Yang Lijuan, what reasons, and what kind of power prompted Yang Lijuan's father to commit suicide.
Later, as the incidents were revealed one after another, many people gradually learned that it turned out that Yang Qinji had already been paid attention to by the media a year ago because he sold his kidney to sponsor his daughter to chase stars, and it became a hot event that year. .
Liu Dehua and his team were concerned about this incident, but did not respond at the time.
From the perspective of Andy Lau’s team, it is reasonable not to respond.
Because Liu Dehua is a big star and has many fans who like him. Regardless of other reasons, if this precedent is set, many fans will inevitably follow suit.
As for this issue, Liu Dehua responded positively in the media later.
He only said one thing about Yang Lijuan: "It is unfaithful and unfilial to ask my father to sell his house and kidney to meet me."
Whether this sentence was a way of coping with public opinion that he came up with later, or it was really what he thought beforehand.
The fact is, this sentence is indeed correct.
It also explains the core reason why Andy Lau did not arrange to meet with Yang Lijuan before.
The star-chasing value represented by Yang Lijuan has completely transcended the boundaries between fans and idols in the entertainment industry.
Later, it got to the point where her father even sold his kidney to help her chase stars, which shocked the whole society.
If Liu Dehua’s team responds, it will be equivalent to boosting the phenomenon.
Unfortunately, all sectors of society did not stop Yang Lijuan’s behavior prematurely, and the media even fueled the situation, making Yang Lijuan and her family’s star-chasing behavior even more out of control.
Everyone has a sense of group identity, but Yang Lijuan and her family lack this sense of group identity.
The thinking and behavior of their family were completely out of touch with the life around them at that time. This is also the key to why their family finally got lost and never returned, because no one around them could use effective communication to prevent the unusual behavior of their family of three.
Once a person has something special that is different from ordinary people and does not enhance his social competitiveness, people around him will define him as a marginalized person.
Yang Lijuan and her family have been defined as marginalized figures for a long time.
And because Yang Lijuan can represent the crazy star-chasers to a certain extent (although Yang Lijuan herself does not think so), and provides important material for society to criticize the star-chasing culture.
So people around her, including the news media, began to examine and discuss Yang Lijuan and her family with a curious eye.
In order to get in touch with the family, the media began to communicate with Yang Lijuan and her family through elements related to Liu Dehua.
Since many media people did not understand Yang Lijuan’s so-called meeting with Liu Dehua, they began to arrange meetings between Yang Lijuan and Liu Dehua in various ways as an excuse to get in touch with and understand the real Yang Lijuan and her family in order to satisfy everyone. While the public is curious, they can also explore the family's true "star-chasing mentality."
The fact is that this arrangement, to some extent, pushed Yang Lijuan and her family into a desperate situation step by step.
Yang Lijuan did not understand her girlish feelings at the time, and believed that her emotional impulse towards Liu Dehua, who thought about her day and night, was the destined fate between the two.
After that, Yang Lijuan’s various behaviors in chasing stars were actually based on such an understanding of idols.
Therefore, Yang Lijuan later said that she cannot be completely defined as a star-chasing fan, and it is not completely unreasonable.
In addition, Yang Lijuan's parents, because of their doting on their daughter, lost their rational and objective judgment on Yang Lijuan's behavior, which further prompted Yang Lijuan's crazy star-chasing behavior.
Parents' indulgence, poor self-judgment, and the family's loss of correct guidance from society, as well as the media's fueling, have made them go further and further on the road to chasing stars, so much so that they have stopped from down-to-earth real life. , embarked on a dreamlike journey of chasing stars.
At this time, the confused family did not get the correct guidance from the society. Instead, many people, like Yang Lijuan’s parents, thought that if Yang Lijuan could really meet her idol Liu Dehua, maybe her crazy feelings would disappear. Eliminated.
The media is even more crazy. In order to make news, they keep coming to disturb and add fuel to the flames.
In fact, Yang Lijuan's family is just ordinary people.
Without the media's fueling the flames, there is a high probability that Yang Lijuan would just live in her own world and would never have the opportunity to meet Andy Lau step by step.
The two sides have been in two different worlds from the beginning. Without the power of the media, in this era when the Internet is not developed, there will be no intersection.
Naihe, the media likes to eat human blood steamed buns.
In order to make news, Yang Lijuan gradually believed in her inner fantasy and believed that she could see Liu Dehua and even be with her.
Step by step, push her forward.
During this process, Andy Lau made the right voice, but all sectors of society did not listen carefully. In order to make news, the media insists on adding fuel to the flames.
Some media contacted Liu Dehua's agency, and the staff of his agency responded: "We will not advocate, respond, or meet with this matter."
This reply actually provides a reference social solution to the Yang Lijuan incident to a certain extent.
However, the media not only failed to pay attention to Andy Lau's side, but instead blindly wanted to create a dream ending in which "fans who have been obsessed for 13 years finally meet their idol."
Yang Lijuan’s madness, Liu Dehua’s rational failure to respond, and the false illusions of the entire society, fueled by the media, led this incident step by step towards tragedy.
Yang Lijuan’s father dotes on his daughter to an extreme extent. The main manifestation of this is that he is completely divorced from the basis of reality just like his daughter, and mistakenly believes that Liu Dehua should understand Yang Lijuan as much as he does. And made some actions for Yang Lijuan that were not consistent with her current status.
It’s just that Yang’s father ignored a key issue. He did not consider Liu Dehua’s social status and social responsibilities.
A fan can have one or more idols, and an idol usually has hundreds of millions of fans.
A top artist like Andy Lau has fans all over the Chinese world. Andy Lau needs to use his actions to provide correct value guidance to society and fans, and this includes Yang Lijuan.
So when Yang Lijuan’s father chose to sell his kidney to help his daughter pursue stars, Andy Lau immediately stood up and reprimanded Yang Lijuan’s behavior.
Not only that, Liu Dehua also used the practical action of "no meeting, no response" to show his attitude towards the Yang Lijuan incident.
Liu Dehua’s behavior is for the sake of his millions of fans and the general public.
However, this behavior cannot stop Yang Lijuan from continuing to chase stars, nor can it stop the media from continuing to add fuel to the flames in order to make news.
It is even said that precisely because of the lack of response, the media is increasingly adding fuel to the flames by making news.
Yang Lijuan’s crazy behavior allowed social media to capture a once-in-a-lifetime public topic.
And the more media attention paid to her, the more Yang Lijuan felt she had the upper hand, and the more she thought she was getting closer to her goal of meeting Liu Dehua.
Media attention pushed Yang Lijuan and her family to a point of no return.
At the same time, the media also put Liu Dehua in an extremely embarrassing situation, so there was a symbolic meeting between Liu Dehua and Yang Lijuan on March 25.
This move, which could have allowed everyone to come off the stage, gave Yang Lijuan more unrealistic fantasies, so that the old father was so ashamed and angry that he finally chose to commit suicide in the sea.
The Yang Lijuan incident is not a tragedy of any individual, but the result of the participation of the whole society and the failure of certain groups to be guided by the correct values of society.
You must know that Yang Lijuan and her family have no experience in dealing with public opinion, but the media has pushed them to the forefront of public opinion.
With the cooperation of many parties, it is difficult for Yang Lijuan and her family to distinguish whether the people around them are enemies or friends.
And they urgently need the public’s help for their unrealistic ideas.
Under the influence of many intricate relationships, Yang Lijuan and her family unexpectedly became public figures.
After March 25, amidst the noisy public opinion, Yang Lijuan's father became completely desperate and finally threatened death, hoping at the same time to regain the dignity of a lifetime.
And his action to save his dignity only pushed this tragedy that should not have happened to the climax.
The media are even more excited.
On March 27, 2007, Yang Lijuan complained that Andy Lau cried bitterly and expressed regret.
On March 28, 2007, Yang Lijuan and her daughter returned to the mainland.
In the original timeline.
In 2014, Yang Lijuan was a guest on Dragon TV's "Oriental Live Room" program and spoke from her personal experience.
I advised the people involved in the show not to be crazy about Andy Lau, saying frankly that Andy Lau is not worth the waste of his youth.
After the incident in 2007, Yang Lijuan refused all media interviews and returned to L state to start a life of volunteering in charity organizations.
She said: "I have reflected on it for a long time in the past seven years. I have a lot of responsibility for my stubbornness and willfulness that caused the tragedy at that time, but the media's fueling of the situation made things worse."
She recalled: "I once wanted to use help The power of the media helped me realize my wish. Some media indeed promised to take me to see Andy Lau, but then they arranged for someone to imitate Andy Lau to come to my home, which made my family very angry. It was so disrespectful. "
Yang Lijuan responded: "At that time, it was just a small wish of mine. It was not as hyped by everyone. In the end, it was the media that pushed the whole matter to an irreversible point."
The media is in order When it came to making news, they were all adding fuel to the flames. They also arranged for a person who was imitating Andy Lau to pretend to be the real Andy Lau and go to Yang Lijuan's home.
This kind of behavior is undoubtedly mocking and toying with Yang Lijuan's family.
And this kind of behavior that hurts people's self-esteem will also make Yang Lijuan's family want to see Liu Dehua himself.
Wang Shu was busy working at the time and forgot about the incident for a while. It was not until the tragedy happened that it shocked the entire entertainment industry.
If we had thought of it earlier, we might have been able to avoid the tragedy.
However, he quickly gave up this naive idea.
Father Yang's leap was a desperate leap of dignity.
The media has fueled the situation to such an extent that even if it can be saved temporarily, it cannot be saved forever.
Wang Shu sat in the office and sighed, then started working non-stop.
The tragedy has happened, and the work must continue.
This is life.
Evening.
He drove to a hot pot restaurant, walked into the private room and saw Shu Chang and Liu Yifei.
"Director Wang." Shu Chang stood up and shouted sweetly when he saw Wang Shu push the door open and come in.
Seeing her best friend stand up, Liu Yifei couldn't sit still anymore, so she immediately stood up too.
"Director Wang, long time no see." At the same time, she also shouted with a smile.
“Long time no see.” Wang Shu responded to the two of them with a smile.
"Director Wang, come and sit down, the seat has been reserved for you." Shu Chang immediately started to greet him.
