Hello friends who are concerned about the筷子小手, we will update an article every Tuesday , which is also guaranteed by the part-time writer with all his strength. Last week was the National Day holiday. Many friends could not choose poetry and distant places. They only responded to the call to stay in Chongqing. We are the same as you, or even worse.
This article would like to talk to you about our first experience of rappelling and participating in a play.
rappelling and ferrata
The first time I tried outdoor sports such as rappelling and Fei Lada, the location was Tianyan Cave in Beibei District. There was a cave exploration video of an up master (outdoor army ant) at station B before, and I was full of curiosity about “red-spotted toad”, “cave hall” and “underground river”, as well as “Ghost Blowing Lanterns” and The tenth-level scholar of “Grave Robbery Notes” has accumulated a lot of confidence in the last hike in the Dayuandong Forest, so he signed up to participate in the rope drop and Fei Lada in Tianyan Cave.
There is a Buddha statue from the Qing Dynasty in the Tianyan Cave. When the light pours down from the entrance of the cave, there is a natural tranquility and awe. This is the most attractive part of rappelling here, and that’s why the photos taken have a special sense of mystery.
When a niche “attraction” is very popular, it will become an Internet celebrity attraction.
As people in the humanities media (self-proclaimed), we didn’t want to lure people over just to arrange the photos nicely, only to find out after looking forward to it. Many of the photos on Xiaohongshu were taken a little too far and lost the sense of reality, which may have also raised a white flag to the number of clicks.
Descend from the top of the cave and control the speed with your hands all the way. I have seen this device thousands of times in the video, and I was a little afraid of heights when it was suspended in the air for the first time. And the first time to operate the equipment, because it is not familiar with it will also generate a little fear.
The vertical height is about 60 meters, and you can descend to the bottom in one or two minutes. If you want to play, it is best to call your fellow friends to go down and take pictures for you. Of course, local tyrants can also pay a full-time photographer to take pictures. In the process of rappelling, in addition to the first feeling of freshness, fear and weightlessness, the most important thing is to stop in the middle and make a handsome gesture, and take a photo that can be sent to the circle of friends.
After descending to the bottom of the cave, next is the ferrata along the cave wall.
There is a section that is completely suspended from the rock wall, and the feet will be very swaying, mainly testing arm strength and waist strength. The rest of the road is fine, if you take good care of it, you will be able to pass it smoothly.
The whole process took about an hour to finish, but because of the reservation, the number of people was controlled, and the experience was still good.
foggy Jiangzhou
“Mist Up Jiangzhou” is a drama.
But it’s also an immersive drama that you can participate in. The venue of the performance is the Dai Li Shenxiandong Mansion in Chongqing, a restored historical building. With the background of the story of the spy and the country, the atmosphere is full.
The official announcement is as follows:
Different from the “frame” stage and “split” transition narrative of ordinary dramas, “Mist in Jiangzhou” integrates the entire drama through the dismantling and reorganization of the stage and the plot. in the room. The audience does not have a fixed seat, but moves along with the actors’ roles, promotes the development of the story as a participant, and experiences the combination of homeland and espionage battles jointly shaped by the eight character storylines.
At present, “Mist Up Jiangzhou” has been ranked first in Chongqing’s performance on Damai.com. There are two performances a day, and the performances are full.
Compared with the killing of the script, “Mist Up Jiangzhou” has a stronger sense of participation and a better sense of experience; compared with ordinary drama performances, “Mist Up Jiangzhou” is more vivid and more able to capture people’s hearts. As a pure audience, it is easy to pick up the phone and get distracted, and it is easy to fall asleep. But following the actors jumping up and down the narrow and dark wooden stairs can really change us from the “God’s perspective” of history to the “participant” perspective.
This kind of innovation has to be praised!
Participation is important
Asking Buddha in Tianyan Cave and watching dramas in Loquat Mountain are all great holiday activities.
On the way back, I was thinking that it is really getting harder and harder for businesses to make money from consumers. The tastes of consumers, especially the tastes of young people, are becoming more and more difficult to grasp. There is a fever for outdoor camping here, and there is no interest in the light rail passing through the building in Liziba.
- Doing script killing, if you still follow the original tear-jerking suspense and other routines, the players will become more and more tired, and gradually lose the incremental crowd;
- If you are traveling, if you still follow the original report and group shopping rebates and other routines, at the end of the game, only the uncle and aunt are left to visit here in silk scarves, and the road becomes narrower and narrower.
Under this logic, this kind of thing that allows consumers to participate is more lively and interesting. Looking back, why is this “sense of participation” more and more important in consumer behavior?
In July I read a book called “Making Consumers” , and the subtitle of the book is “A Global History of Consumerism”, which seems to be related to this issue.
Children born and raised in the city seldom know that rice is grown from seedlings. Fujianese may not have seen pepper growing on trees. Urban white-collar workers don’t know the farming season, and farmers naturally envy the “wage workers” who get paid while sitting in the office. .
People are both producers and consumers. This social division of production and consumption creates interdependence, supports people’s livelihoods, and completely separates production from consumption. Items are no longer the direct product of labor, people no longer understand the production environment and production process of these items, and the commodities displayed in front of people have become increasingly unfamiliar and magical. This is also the process of society becoming more and more fetishistic .
Fetishism is not a derogatory term here. When I don’t understand the production process and process of Huawei mobile phones, when I get a mobile phone, I will naturally sigh why its camera effect is so clear, why the computing performance is so powerful, and why the screen display is so realistic and delicate. This is “fetishism”, which is about astonishing at unfamiliar things.
This curiosity drives consumers into a dilemma of “try it out” and “refuse to try it.” To address the trust issue, companies are starting to make a fuss about brands.
Brands are found not only to give people a sense of security, but also their mysterious power to connect commodities with social and cultural values through symbolic engineering.
Once the publicity and construction of this value is completed, consumers will have a sense of nihilistic security and trust. The Mercedes-Benz BMW in the advertisement is not a commodity with practical value, but a carrier of masculinity, taste, status and fashion. Want to be someone with that taste? No other self-improvement efforts are required, just buy it.
Paying money to buy this thing and owning it is the lowest level of participation . That is why some people are addicted to Taobao, addicted to receiving express delivery, and emptying the shopping cart can only get a few minutes of pleasure.
Obviously, consumers are now faced with thousands of choices. Simply buying a down jacket is faced with countless brands, styles, colors, fabrics, and styles to choose from. A little innovation, why buy your home?
If consumers can participate in the design of this down jacket, if a custom pattern can be embroidered on the down jacket, and if someone’s name can be written on the cuffs of the down jacket, consumers will have more reasons to show off when they wear it .
The same is true of watching a play. Sitting there for two hours is boring, but the actors’ performances become interesting. If rope climbing is just an outdoor sport, there will be a sense of distance, but it will be different if it can be experienced in person under the premise of ensuring safety.
This is how we feel more and more involved .
Why is it more reasonable to spend money on experiential consumption than buying things? There is some truth to a quote by American psychologist Thomas Gilovich: “Experiences and experiences can be integrated into our life course, while commodities can never be. You can cherish those treasures and even regard them as indispensable to your life. things, but they remain outside of your life. Instead, your personal experiences become part of your life. All of our experiences make us who we end up being.”
Thomas Gilovich is a professor of psychology at Cornell University and co-director of the school’s Center for Behavioral Economics and Decision Research. His research focuses on how people form judgments, beliefs, and action decisions through assessments of everyday life experiences.
participation is limited
But participation is limited and experience is limited. Ordinary people’s life is definitely not simply the pursuit of experiencing the novelty of the world. If you fall into such a concept, life will become difficult.
There are thousands of novelties in the world. If you think about constantly experiencing the flowers, you may miss your youth in the end. When I was getting old, I found that I just watched thousands of novelties, and it didn’t make any sense.
This kind of feeling is like: I swiped a short video on Douyin for a day on my phone over the weekend, thinking that I learned a lot, but insomnia late at night was ruthlessly penetrated by a huge “sense of meaninglessness”.
Under the tide of consumerism, this value of “experience the novelty of the world” is actually a kind of selling dog meat, which has affected many people. You spend money on these endless consumption desires, and you are right in the hands of the merchants. You do not really consume because of internal needs, but because you are a little lamb who is led by the nose.
Therefore, the “sense of participation” exchanged for consumption behavior is just a touch of the water, and it is still a long way from that “symbol”. Mercedes-Benz Big G does not mean brave and fearless. I bought Mercedes-Benz Big G does not mean that I am a brave and fearless person. Brave and fearless character cannot be obtained through consumption behavior.
Take off these filters and be a simple and clear person.
what is the dilemma
I will still be excited for the first time I rappel down the cave, and I will still get some thoughts from participating in a drama performance. I would like to thank Li Bujiao, the manager of筷子小手, for planning the itinerary ?
When I’m too excited, happy, and happy for this, the human habit of liking the new and disliking the old will keep me looking for the next “world novelty” for new thrills. Just like after we swipe a funny short video, we will be addicted and then swipe down.
Here is where the dilemma arises.
Either succumb to this addiction to “experience the world’s novelties” and be stubbornly pinched by consumerism; or face the risk of long-term boredom and nothing.
After watching “Fog Jiangzhou”, we added director Sun Lanfei’s WeChat, and learned from the circle of friends that he has been working in this field since graduation. The molding has also been modified countless times. He turned 30 last month, and this drama is the best gift for him at the age of 30. I’m glad he persevered and let us see this work. It also happened to be made for his other work “The Silent Hero”. I hope that those who persist will never be let down.
