Tiga Ultraman is on the cover of a well-known magazine! Netizens denounced: this is cultural penetration and kneeling day

This special photo series, born in Japan, uses realistic lenses to create an imaginary world. It has also triggered a lot of thinking about family, society, and the environment. Maybe these are the "Aote The reason why the "Man" series has been born for more than 50 years and remains attractive.

With the Chinese copyright owner Xinchuanghua’s large-scale publicity in the country and the active promotion of popular idols, the popularity of the Ultraman series is also known to more people with the trend of breaking the circle.

On September 17, Ultraman, the most well-known in the country, appeared on the cover of the magazine "ELLEMEN New Youth", and and Zeta were also in the magazine All of them appeared on the scene, and the topic quickly appeared in the hot search on Weibo at the time.

"ELLEMEN New Youth" is a domestic magazine that focuses on the young faces of the entertainment industry and the fashion industry, and records the story of their growth and the passwords behind their age. It is very popular in the young people's market.

Now that Tiga can be on the cover of the magazine, it means that Ultraman's popularity outside the special photo circle has been recognized by the professional media.

However,Not everyone is happy to see Tiga’s appearance on the cover of a magazine. In the comment section, some netizens think that having foreign virtual characters appearing on the cover of Chinese magazines is a kind of cultural penetration and kneeling day.

Of course, some netizens commented on the matter from the perspective of "new youth", thinking that it is not appropriate to publish Japanese elements in such magazines.

Many fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with this. Anyone who has seen Ultraman knows that the "Ultraman" series is only between Ultraman and monsters. The story promotes peace, environmental protection, and unity. It is a film and television work with positive significance.

Therefore, the opinions of several netizens may be distorted.

02. Why do we say cultural penetration and kneeling day?

Before discussing the topic of "Whether Ultraman's appearance in a domestic magazine is cultural penetration and kneeling day", let's get to know the magazine "ELLEMEN New Youth".

"ELLEMEN New Youth" is a subsidiary of " ELLEMEN Ruishi", "ELLEMEN Ruishi" is an elite man published by the French Huaxie Philippeche Group and Zhejiang Ruishi Magazine Lifestyle magazine, and "ELLEMEN New Youth" is a magazine run by the post-90s team for the entertainment and fashion circles.

In short,This is an international magazine of Sino-foreign cooperation, and has nothing to do with the historical "New Youth" except for the name collision. In addition, many foreign artists who were well-known in the domestic and foreign entertainment circles or film and television circles were initially on the cover of the inaugural issue. Therefore, it is entirely reasonable that there are foreign elements on the cover.

As for this approach is "cultural penetration and kneeling day"? The answer is naturally no.

even if this magazine is really reminiscent of the "New Youth" in history, it should be understood that the original intention of this magazine and the propaganda thoughts:

, the most influential magazine in China in the 1920s, was a position for writers and revolutionaries at the time to promote new democratic ideas, and most of these ideas came from excellent foreign cultures.

Therefore, "New Youth" is intended to liberate the Chinese people's mind, broaden the Chinese people's vision, encourage young people to uphold freedom and progress, have a global perspective, and entrust the meaning of rising.

However, the irony is that today, one hundred years later, there are still some people who are narrow-minded and use the banner to despise some excellent cultures in other countries.

Not long ago, a woman in a certain place in China went to a testing site in a kimono, but was dissuaded by volunteers.Said that she should change her clothes and come back. The incident immediately caused public opinion after the incident was reported by the media.

Some careful netizens discovered that the woman was wearing a work badge, and it may be an employee of a nearby Japanese food store. Maybe she was too late to change her clothes. In order to respond to the call for all staff to do nucleic acid The working day came, but was dissuaded unexpectedly.

Most netizens think that this volunteer has not only failed to be informed and rational, but has not yet achieved cultural recognition.

In fact, whether it is Ultraman or kimono, it is just a carrier of foreign culture. The former, as a film and television work, preached positive cultural ideas, while the latter, as a kind of national costume, is a concentration of crafts and arts, and has no special political significance. Why should we care about other freedom of dressing?

Of course, neither "world vision" or "cultural identity" can be cultivated overnight, but grow together with our own cultural strength.

The reason why contemporary young people love foreign film and television culture (British, American, Japanese and Korean dramas, animation), clothing culture (lo clothes, jk), it is precisely because these cultures can satisfy young people’s spirit or material about the unknown and trendy Pursue.

only when young people’s pursuit of these cultures surpasses the pursuit of their own culture,People who lack self-confidence and tolerance naturally feel resentment, thinking it is cultural penetration or kneeling, and finally vent it through radical words.

In fact, the culture of the country can meet certain needs and is attractive enough, so young people will naturally love the culture of their country.

However, at present, there is still a long way to go for many domestic film and television cultures and clothing cultures.

In terms of domestic dramas, most of the prosperous and popular dramas are illusions that have been packaged by capital and traffic. Domestic animations have been under the haze of younger age for a long time; and the clothing culture, led by Hanfu, Restorationists and reformers seem to be topics that are never finalized. The internal contradictions have not been resolved, so what about cultural export?

After discussing the topic of cultural strength, it is closely related to cultural self-confidence and cultural tolerance.

is said to be closely related because cultural self-confidence and cultural tolerance are not necessarily born after cultural strength becomes stronger. Confidence is self-confidence in one's own culture, and tolerance is seeking common ground while reserving differences in the culture of different countries and regions.

The development of any kind of culture is inseparable from absorbing the essence of other cultures. However, in order to absorb it, you must first base your own culture and tolerate other outstanding cultures.

In the final analysis, it’s not that “Ultraman’s appearance in domestic magazines is cultural penetration and kneeling day”, but does not agree that this kind of film and television works (cultures) from other countries are popular in China, and will eventually return Distorted part of the facts.

03. Finally

As mentioned above, these concepts cannot be changed overnight, and the development of culture is the same.

As for the extent to which our culture can develop, whether we have the strength to go abroad, through these cultures, foreigners’ perceptions or stereotypes of our country can be changed. It depends on whether policies, creators, and the general public can Go hand in hand.

However, from the current various environments, this road is destined to be a hindrance and long.
