Introduction

TFBOYS fans are beyond the reach of most domestic celebrities. But among this group of fans, a considerable number of people have a strange performance. That is, it is simply cost-effective to like idols. To protect idols, it is also hysterical and slandering others.

On August 15, TFBOYS fan meeting was held at the Wukesong Mastercard Center in Beijing. As the most popular youth idol group nowadays, the first large-scale fan meeting held in the two years since its debut, it naturally caused a lot of sensation in the fan group. As soon as the tickets were released two months ago, they were sold out by fans.

Phenomenon 1: To chase stars, it is too much to spend money.

On the day of the fan meeting, the outdoor temperature was as high as more than 30 degrees. It is nearly two hours before the meeting. There are already many "scalpers" who resell tickets at the entrance of Wukesong Subway Station. The ticket of 280 yuan has been hyped up by the "scalpers" to more than 2,000 yuan, and the VIP ticket of 1,680 yuan has even been sold for tens of thousands of yuan. A little girl from Nantong, Jiangsu stood at the entrance of the venue without a ticket and cried. Her father, who accompanied her, had to spend more than 2,000 yuan to buy a 280 yuan ticket from the scalper. After the meeting of

started, the position on the right of the reporter was empty. According to fans, it was because scalpers kept raising prices, and fans were really unable to buy it, and there was a phenomenon of running out of tickets.

Judging from the situation at the meeting, most of the audiences who watched TFBOYS singing were born in the 1990s and 2000s. It was summer vacation and these kids had time to watch. At the door of Mastercard Center, a middle-aged man was carrying a paper bag with a TFBOYS member's avatar printed on it. The reporter went to ask. He said he was with his daughter. Although he knew that chasing stars like this was a bit crazy, he said helplessly: "There is only one child in the family, and there is no way for children to like it." After the meeting, the reporter met a fan who came from Shanghai to attend the meeting at the door. Because she kept singing along the meeting throughout the meeting, and kept shouting "TFBOYS". At the end of the meeting, the fan's voice was hoarse. She said that she had liked TFBOYS two years ago and had been watching them grow up. As long as TFBOYS has an event around Shanghai, she would attend. After the meeting of

, fans were still unwilling to leave, guarding the entrance and exit of the venue, waiting for the car carrying the three idols to pass by, hoping to see the idol again.

This is not the first time that fans are crazily chasing their idol TFBOYS. Actor Chen He once encountered a situation like this. At the airport, a group of fans picked up TFBOYS members. Chen He also joked on Weibo:

On weekdays, TFBOYS members appear in public places such as airports. The situation is like this:

Last year, the group participated in the recording of Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Camp" for the first time. Fans were guarding the door of the TV station early, and the tickets for the program were hyped up by scalpers that day to 3,000 yuan.

Previously, at the press conference of the movie "Great Wall", fans were willing to pay a high price of 30,000 yuan to purchase the entry and exit certificate of media staff in order to meet Wang Junkai, one of the members of the TFBOYS group.

In addition to spending a lot of money to meet idols, fans will even book outdoor advertisements to celebrate their idols' birthdays whenever the members of the group celebrate their birthdays. The picture below shows Wang Junkai's 15th birthday, fans booked an electronic billboard for a skyscraper in Chongqing.

even buy islands for idols:

Phenomenon 2: The fan camp is clearly divided

It is no exaggeration to say that the fandom of TFBOYS fans are beyond the reach of most domestic celebrities. But a considerable number of this group of fans have a strange performance. That is, it is simply cost-effective to like idols. To protect idols, it is also hysterical and slandering others.

"Curiosity Daily" reporter Wang Shanshan once wrote an article titled "Jay Chou wrote a song for TFBOYS, and fans can even argue about this matter". In this article, the author mentioned: "TFBOYS news is always divided into two parts. One part is what this group is doing, and the other part is what the fans of this group are doing ." "In addition to having a big quarrel every three days, one five days and one small quarrel, fans also have to fight against foreign enemies from time to time to establish TFBOYS's status as the best quality in the idol world." The author also cited examples of TFBOYS fans and EXO fans verbally fight on the Internet.

If you think TFBOYS fans are still competing with fans of other groups, then you have underestimated the combat effectiveness of this group of fans, and the division within the fan group is also very obvious. On August 15, an hour before the fan meeting began, the author observed the ticket entrance and exit for nearly an hour and found that the fans' outfits were different. Some had blue ribbons tied on their heads, some had red ribbons tied on their wrists, and some little girls simply wore green clothes and held green banners in their hands. There were even two girls wearing orange long skirts and watching fans in various colors walk by in front of them. The reporter felt very strange. A small fan standing next to the reporter answered the reporter's question: " blue means like Wang Junkai, green means Wang Yuan's support color, and red means Yi Yang Qianxi. Orange means like the entire combination. ." The reporter paid attention and observed that the number of fans with orange in was the smallest.

After the meeting started, the reporter sat on the right side of the 25th row facing the stage. From the reporter's position, it can be clearly seen that most of the audience were blue, red and green LED light signs.

Some fans even took a picture from other angles on the stage. In this picture, the fan deliberately marked the orange lights with circles. It can be clearly seen from this that the orange part accounts for a very small number.

Phenomenon 3: Fans on Weibo started a "X-tearing" battle

Although the entire meeting, the organizer arranged the same exposure rate of the three teenagers, it still attracted the dissatisfaction of fans. The second day after the meeting, a topic of "tfboys companies compete to be ungrateful" became a hot topic list on Weibo. The reason was that Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan's fans did not see the chorus of the two at the meeting, so they angrily scolded the agency for being ungrateful.

TFBOYS group was originally only Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan. Yi Yang Qianxi joined after the group became popular, so a group of original fans who were the first to follow the promotion of the list prefer Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan some . Therefore, when they did not see the two idols they liked at the meeting, they simply vented their anger on the agency. It was just summer vacation, and they had a lot of time to use Weibo to vent their inner dissatisfaction.

One of the fans said this:

It is undeniable that TFBOYS can develop rapidly in two years. In addition to the careful packaging and training of the agency and the hard work of the three teenagers, fans invested money to help the rankings, and spontaneous publicity played a great role. Except for participating in events, the three members of TFBOYS rarely accept media interviews, and the agent has strict control. I have contacted TFBOYS's agents about fan meetings before, but have not received any response. It can be seen that fans have played a very important role in the promotion of TFBOYS. So at present, fans have a fight with the brokerage company, which casts a shadow on the brokerage company and the combination itself.

August 17 is the day when TFBOYS's new song "Big Dreamer" was released. This song was planned to be released on August 13, but at that time, a major explosion had just occurred in Tanggu, Tianjin, so it chose to postpone its release. Although fans were still enthusiastic about the list after the release of this new song, making this song quickly ranked first on the Asian new song chart on the day of its debut on the 17th, what is also conspicuous is that "TFBOYS Company Striving to Be an Eyed" ranked fourth on the Weibo hot topic list with 68.21 million topic discussions.

Although some fans have also launched topics such as "Yi Yang Qianxi" and "TFBOYS Big Dreamer", they still cannot fight the topics of fans condemning the agency.

TFBOYS Fan composition and psychological analysis

Why does this happen? What is the main fan group of TFBOYS? How does the psychology of fans only liking one person or two people form?

In the first half of this year, a data survey by Sina Entertainment showed that the age of TFBOYS's Weibo fans is mainly concentrated under the age of 25, and even more than 40% are under the age of 18. In terms of gender ratio, nearly 9 have become female fans. Therefore, it is not difficult to conclude that nearly half of TFBOYS's fans are underage girls. This group of fans is in adolescence and is more sensitive to psychology. From the words posted on Weibo, we can also see that their thoughts are simpler and they are prone to emotional and extreme considerations.

The author also interviewed some fans of TFBOYS who have grown up. Most of these fans showed that they liked the three teenagers in a similar way, and there was no situation where they prefer who hate whom.

In fact, TFBOYS fans have started negative topics on Weibo for more than once or twice. Wang Junkai took economic class at the movie press conference, and the news photo photographer is "Duwei" and other reasons have become the reason why fans browsed the topic list on Weibo to condemn the agency.

Agents have gradually become accustomed to this kind of blacklist that comes from time to time. Although it doesn't look so glorious, from an adult's perspective, fans are too glossy. If you happen to have a teenage girl in your family, you may also understand this dilemma. Look, even the fans of Wang Junkai drinking the second bottle of water at the meeting have to argue online for a long time, and you will understand how terrible adolescent girls are.

Finally, the reporter would like to advise many young fans that chasing stars is not a bad thing, and excellent idols can play a good benchmark role. But what everyone needs to understand is that the entertainment industry itself is a cruel living environment, and idols must be able to withstand praise and slander to survive in this circle. As a fan, you don’t have to be too slim. You should maintain a relatively rational and calm attitude towards idol behavior or related events. It is not impossible to like it, but if you are obsessed with it and delay your studies because of star chasing, it will be more than worth the effort.

comment Duwei: refers to fans who only like one of the TFBOYS members and maliciously attack other members.
