Is the difference between a real celebrity and a pseudonym just money? This book gives you the answer.

Recently, an exposed article by a celebrity group in Shanghai attracted strong attention from netizens.

Teacher Jin Xing, who is known as the touchstone of the entertainment circle, wrote that there are really rich groups, official groups and pseudo-celebrities on the beach!

It's ironic to take a picture with the dog. I have to admire it. It is you!

Six people spell a Ritz-Carlton afternoon tea for two, a high-end hotel for 3000 a night, 15 people, bags and luxury cars.

Even stockings appear in the spelling list, and even socks should be spelled. I really want to sigh, being a pseudonym is really tiring! I can't believe so many people like it.

It exists because there is a market, and celebrities do have a natural attraction to the public.

This kind of thing is not only in China, but also abroad.

Anna Sorokin, a Russian girl from a truck driver's family, has been reported by The New York Times and BBC News.

20 13 Anna DeVille, a pseudonym, was active in new york as the "daughter of a German oil tycoon" and successfully entered the celebrity circle in new york in three years.

In order to maintain her celebrity status, she borrowed $275,000 as the daughter of an oil tycoon.

On June 20 17, she was arrested for defaulting on hotel room rates, and her dream was shattered. On April 25th, 20 19, the new york District Procuratorate sentenced her to four years-12 years' imprisonment for four counts of service theft.

Interestingly, I browsed in the book city by accident. A doctor of anthropology at Yale University wrote a book called "I am a mother, I need a platinum bag".

In this book, she describes the daily life of celebrities living on the Upper East Side from the perspective of anthropologists.

Every city has an "Upper East Side", which is the exclusive community for the elite to live, socialize and shop.

In daily life, we are all clearly aware of the existence of social class. In order to climb a higher class, we have lost our rationality more or less.

In the book, she describes the mothers on the Upper East Side like this:

So, according to the doctor of anthropology, the life of these Upper East Side ladies is to live for others.

The goal of living is to create a perfect self in the eyes of others, not for your own comfort.

Is it really your envy to lose your life?

In fact, celebrity economy has long been proposed by economists. Van Buren, the originator of institutional economics, called this class the leisure class in On the Leisure Class, and the immortal word "conspicuous consumption" in social science also came from this economist.

Van Buren described: it is a waste, luxury and luxury to buy impractical and unnecessary expensive items, which is the psychological feature of conspicuous consumption.

The essence of conspicuous consumption is to show one's sense of class superiority and satisfy one's inner needs with materials.

Speaking of celebrity families, I have to mention the Kardashian family in the United States. Walking with Kardashian, which occupies the major click charts in the United States, introduces the daily life of celebrities to the world in the form of a reality show.

Some people describe that the Kardashian sisters have more ins fans than the total population of the United States, which shows the influence of celebrities.

It is worth noting that the daily life of Kardashian sisters is exactly the same as that of Shanghai celebrities, such as luxury cars and limited packages.

The difference is that the Kardashian family has become a famous gold-sucking family. While showing off, they are also the living signs of their own brands, bringing the fan economy to the extreme.

We show off more to help our career development. In the eyes of hundreds of millions of fans, their show-off is to share life. By contrast, the difference is obvious.

Everyone has the right to pursue his ideal life, but it must be at the bottom line of law and morality.

You don't live for anyone, you live for yourself. No matter how gorgeous the fake shell packaging is, it will not change the background color after all.

If a celebrity is your ideal, what you have to do is not to spell the bill, but to arm your mind. Maybe the next Wendi Deng is you, and you will create a counter-attack life by your own efforts.

What you get by cheating, in the end, everything is empty, so why bother!
