"Crazy Fans": The tragedy caused by a "5 minute request"

Shanie 2022-01-07 15:53:26


The story of the film is very simple. There is a man named Goraf who admires a star named Aliya very much. He hopes Aliya can spare 5 minutes for himself so that he can fulfill his wish of getting close to idols. Aliya refused. As a result, things got out of hand.

The contradiction between

the two parties in the "5 Minute Request" The whole plot is divided into two parts with the "5 Minute Request" as the dividing line. The first half describes how Golaf adores Aliya enthusiastically, and the second half describes how he is requesting refusal. Later, how to retaliate against Aliya frantically. Obviously, the "5-minute request" became a key issue. It turned a fan into hatred because of love, leading to the ultimate tragedy.

The "5 minute request" must be viewed in two.

First of all, Golaf's adoration of Aliya is not a sudden rise, but a kind of love from childhood to adulthood. His room was filled with Aliya’s posters, filled with all kinds of Aliya’s peripheral products, from matches to necklaces. Not only that, but Golaf also learned all Aliya’s singing and dancing, and was good at imitating his looks and movements. . In daily life, Golaf is used to expressing himself with Aliya’s actions in the film from time to time, and expressing himself with Aliya’s lines in the film. He even participated in the community’s celebrity imitation contest, and used to express himself with Aliya’s actions in the film. Imitated vividly and won three consecutive championships! This is the only honor he can be proud of for a small man with poor academic performance since he was a child and grew up relying on Internet cafes to make a living. It can be seen that Aliya is not only a glamorous star, but also his entire life for Golav. "A 5-minute request" is a dream for Goraf, but also an ideal.




Secondly, Goraf believes that without the support of fans, there would be no Alia's achievements today. Alia has also stated in the media many times: Without fans, he will be useless. And Golaf believes that he is not an ordinary fan, but a rare die-hard fan. For a die-hard fan like him, the "5 minute request" is a reasonable request.



However, Alia's reasons for rejecting Golav are equally good.

First of all, the way Golav made the request was very inappropriate. Without a chance to get close to Aliyah, Golav threatened and beat a star who had spoken badly to Aliyah, and forced him to shoot an apology video. Golav did this, first to vent his anger for Alia, and second, to attract Alia's attention and get a chance to meet. But this behavior is illegal! Aliya is nearly 50 years old and has been in the entertainment industry for many years. If he is mature, of course, it is impossible to support this kind of behavior. This is not only illegal, but also irrational. If he accepts the "5 minute request" because of this, it will be a wrong demonstration and induce more fans to adopt extreme methods to approach him.




Secondly, Aliya is also an ordinary person. Ordinary people go off work after they go to get off work, the same goes for celebrities. He does serve the audience. That’s right, but he can’t be there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. He also has to go off work and go home to be his parents’ son or wife. Husband, father of children. If every fan puts forward such a "5-minute request", then with Aliya's appeal, he will never be able to get off work. The celebrity’s economic company regularly organizes fan meetings and engages in interactions between celebrities and fans. In fact, fans’ moods have been taken into consideration. Fans can’t ask for it again and again. The star’s spare time belongs to the celebrity’s private life, just like Aliya replied to Golaf: Why should I give you 5 minutes of my life?


Aliya refused


Therefore, the "5-minute request" is a serious violation of principles for Aliya, and he cannot compromise.

Contradictions arise in this way. Both sides think that they are reasonable, and cannot understand each other's feelings.

Of course, I believe that most viewers will still choose to stand on the side of Golav. After all, most people only have the experience of being a fan and not the experience of being a star. Most people can easily resonate with Golav, but cannot perceive Aliya. The difficulty, not to mention what a humble request the "5 minute request" seems to be.

Alia’s failed communication-on the star’s own job.

Actually, it's not just that fans and stars cannot understand each other, but how can all walks of life in society understand each other? For example, students and teachers, doctors and patients, etc. This is why it is often said, long live understanding! Because this is really not a simple matter. It is not easy for one person to understand another person's situation, and it is even more difficult to understand each other! Communication is very important at this time.

After the conflict arises, what Golav and Aliya lack is good communication. The meeting in prison was simply a disaster.

Personally, Alia has to take on more responsibilities. After all, his social status, experience, and experience are far better than those of Goraf. Goraf has only been in contact with a star like him, but he has countless experiences in dealing with fans. He should have performed better than Goraf. As a result, he behaved as badly as Golaf. Faced with Golaf’s eager confession, he didn’t want to listen. He didn’t bother to express his own difficulties. He criticized Golaf in a harsh tone, and kept Golaf away from him in a commanding tone. The whole process was cold. This directly stimulated the enthusiastic Golav.



For the beloved star, he will not hesitate to commit crimes. It is obvious that Golav has lost his mind. For such a person, the first thing that needs to be comfort, not criticism! What's more, Golav committed the crime for Alia. Even if Alia does not support this behavior, he should at least appreciate it, right? At the same time, even if he can't really feel Golaf's mood, Aliya should know that the "5-minute request" is absolutely not malicious, and just out of love, he should not treat Golaf with the attitude of treating the enemy. Of these, Alia obviously didn't realize it.



In fact, Aliya was kind to Golaf. He took special care of the police not to torture Golaf, and not to leave a record with Golaf, but Golaf didn’t know why Aliya didn’t let Golaf know of his kindness, instead of asking him. Leave him cold? It can be seen that Aliya is very bad at handling interpersonal relationships.

In the subsequent process of being retaliated by Golaf, Aliya only knew acknowledgment in his contacts with the media, police, and diplomats, but never considered the feelings of others, and did not pay attention to the methods and means of handling matters.


The

big star Aliya's emotional intelligence is very low!

If Aliya saw Golaf in the prison, give him a warm hug, comfort him with soft words, quietly listen to Golaf’s confession, and then euphemistically persuade him that he should not take extreme behaviors and cherish himself, And told him that the police will not leave him a record of the case and encourage him to start a new life... Maybe things will not develop to what they did later... Of course, you might say that the role of a star It is a dedicated performance, not a relationship with fans, as Aliya said: I have come to this point by my own hard work. By implication, he didn't succeed by courting fans! This kind of thinking is still a manifestation of low emotional intelligence. When your career is closely linked to another group, then you must have the wisdom to deal with that group. Just like a doctor’s job is to treat patients, he relies on his own medical skills to feed, but he must also learn to handle the relationship with patients properly, right? I can say that every profession includes the handling of interpersonal relationships.



Therefore, learning to deal with the relationship with fans is one of the star's own jobs. At this level, Alia is not qualified.

Golaf’s crazy revenge-on the fan’s star-chasing psychology.

Although Aliya failed to communicate well with Golaf, it was his negligence, but Golaf eventually ruined his whole life and it was difficult to shirk his responsibility. After all, he You have to be responsible for your life! Long life, who hasn't frustrated yet? It is too unreasonable to give up his whole life just because the celebrity has a bad attitude towards him!

The first half of the film spent a lot of pen and ink to show Golaf’s love for Aliya, which is to pave the way for the second half of Golaf’s madness. In the seemingly harmless enthusiasm for star chasing, it has long been irrational. Signs. Look at those Gao Laf’s confessions, "Once someone speaks ill of him, I will fight for it", "He is not only a movie star, but also my world." These two sentences are obviously too fanatical. Then we saw that Gao In order to chase stars, Raf abandoned his studies, and some subjects failed to get 40 points! This is very serious, the star chaser was actually placed in a higher position to fight for his life by Golav. He even used his father to go to the temple to pray as a metaphor for his own star-chasing behavior, which shows that star-chasing is regarded as a kind of belief by Golav! You know, people can die for faith!

Golav, who chanted Aliya's name in the crowd


Golaf's final extreme behavior, in the final analysis, stems from his failure to set the star's position in his life, and Alia's failed communication is just a fuse. Before Goraf went to seek a chance to meet Aliyah, he was already a sickly mental person. The subsequent crimes, revenge, and suicide were just the bitter fruit of his whole wrong life.

Golav broke into Aliya's house and vandalized


Chasing stars is not impossible, but you must be sensible!

A celebrity’s performance can make you happy, then he is the blind spice in your life. The celebrity’s words and deeds can set an example for you, then he is a positive energy in your life, but in any case, the celebrity is not you The theme of life. The theme of life is to realize self-worth and obtain true feelings. No matter how great a celebrity is, it will not be able to realize your personal value. No matter how attractive a celebrity is, it is impossible to give you real feelings. A star is just a cloud that floats by in the journey of life. It brings a glorious color to your ordinary life. You will look up at it for pleasure, but you will never live for it.

Fans who lose their minds put the star in the position of the whole person's life. It is destined to be a tragedy, because you can never really turn a star into a part of your life, just like you can never truly have a cloud. And when the escalating fanatical needs have not been responded to and satisfied, there is only emptiness and destructive determination that are difficult to face. Alia sincerely hoped that Golaf would end his fascination with him. Golaf said that he could not face it, so he chose to die. Alia continued to use family and love as clues to retain Golaf. Golaf smiled and said, "You Don't understand me", yes, he regards the star as the whole life of Gao Laf, he has no place for family and love in his heart. These things have long been not the motivation to inspire him to live, he only lives for Alia.


Golav can't get out of this dream of chasing stars


It's so sad to live only for the stars!

Don't say "losing" unrelated stars, even if you lose friendship, you have to live well, even if you lose love, you have to live well, even if you lose family affection, you have to live well. Remember, this is your life, you have to live for yourself! As Aliya said, "The happiness of living your own life is incomparable to the happiness of living other people's lives." You are the real star in your life.

Goraf the tragic death


The victims of the tragedy are

the appearance of stars on both sides , to bring happiness to the society, not to occupy the lives of fans, and not to destroy the lives of fans. If fans can't understand the meaning of the star's existence well, they will harm themselves, just like Goraf, but they will also harm the star at the same time, which may not be expected by many people.

Irrational fans always want to intervene in the star’s life. This will cause a lot of trouble to the star. Some extreme people can even cause very serious consequences. Just like Aliya’s experience in the second half of the film, he was almost affected by Golaf’s Revenge is ruined, and it hurts his family. In the end, Golaf’s death undoubtedly caused a heavy psychological burden on Alia. "The son did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." In the face of cheering fans, his face could no longer bloom with the brilliant smile of the past, he seemed to see Golaf's sad face in the crowd.

At the end of the film’s second birthday, Aliya couldn’t smile anymore in the face of cheering fans.


The tragedy caused by the "5-minute request" caused both sides.

The story of the film reminds me of the Yang Lijuan incident many years ago. In order to see Andy Lau, Yang Lijuan made her father sell the kidney and the house, and finally committed suicide. Shocked, Andy Lau publicly condemned Yang Lijuan. The whole incident is exactly the same as that of Golaf who committed the crime of assault in order to meet Aliya, and was severely criticized by Aliya. The difference is that in the Yang Lijuan incident, most people were talking about the damage caused by crazy star-chasing to Yang Lijuan's family. Few people noticed that Andy Lau was also a victim.

In fact, the Yang Lijuan incident had a great impact on Andy Lau. According to Hua Tsai, he was very guilty at the time. At the same time, he received hundreds of calls from crazy fans almost every day, threatening to meet with death. Worried that there would be a "second Papa Yang", he spent every day in terror, and even shivered when he heard the phone rang, causing severe insomnia, and finally had to seek help from a psychiatrist.

Therefore, fans should realize that chasing stars wisely, not only cherish their own performance, but also cherish the performance of the celebrity. If you really love that celebrity, don’t take crazy star-chasing behavior, because this behavior is not only in Hurting yourself is also hurting the star you love.

The simple analysis of the box office loss of this

film deeply shows the mood and difficulties of both fans and stars. While persuading fans to chase stars rationally, it also puts forward the necessity of celebrities to learn to communicate with fans. At the same time, it reflects the madness of star chasing. The negative effects brought by both parties. It can be said that the whole story takes into consideration all the links behind the social phenomenon of crazy star chasing, which has high practical significance and guiding value.

It can be said that this is Shah Rukh Khan's rare and profound work in recent years, and he plays two roles alone, showing solid acting skills.

But why did the box office lose?

First of all, Shah Rukh Khan is an idol star. In his works, love is a necessary element, but in this movie, there is no love.

Secondly, no matter whether it is Goraf or Aliyah, it is not pleasing. Goraf is too crazy and Aliya is cold.

Moreover, the ending is not good. Indians basically don't like the tragic ending. If Kolav can finally wake up, return to the right path and start a new life, the audience's acceptance may be much higher.

Shah Rukh Khan Forever



Regardless of the box office, I want to like this work and Shah Rukh Khan.
