Tokyo Sound

If you think on the bright side, what kind of person were our predecessors? They were well-educated, well-mannered, and had good manners. How could an ignorant kid like me, who used to stick firecrackers into the excrement of buffaloes for fun, empathize with them?

This statement may not be a humble one.

Besides, there is fact that human beings will burst out with golden courage when facing great evil and fear. So he imitated his father's handwriting in the exercise book. After using up half a stack of draft paper, he was successfully spanked with a feather duster.

So, the man decided to throw out some ideas.

"Since you are studying human science, you should have dabbled in psychology. Do you know Parasocial Relationships?" Yin Ze pulled out a foreign word.

"Pseudo-social relationship?" Hayami Saori quickly responded, "As I recall, this is a relationship that specifically describes people falling in love with celebrities."

"That's right." Yin Ze was immediately delighted and immediately continued, "If you know someone very well, or even have a crush on or fall in love with him/her, but the other person knows nothing about you, then you are in this 'PSR'. It refers to a one-way relationship, the most common of which is the admiration of fans for celebrities."

"This concept is very old. Someone proposed it in a study in 1956."

Hayami Saori also started talking.

"They observed that with the popularity of mass media such as television, people began to have the illusion of interacting with the people on the screen. Many people felt a real social relationship, as if the stars on TV were talking to them, and they would regard the characters on TV as real close friends."

"Thinking more broadly, the same is true for GalGame and anime. Even I am no exception. I was also captured by the heart of the Knight Girl in Fateful Night." Yin Ze nodded encouragingly, "Senior, do you have any professional comments on this? It would be best if you could quote some publications..."

"No wonder you are so fanatical about wanting to participate in the aftermath—" Hayami Saori suddenly realized.

"Ahem!" Yin Ze coughed hard, interrupting the prejudiced speculation. "Personal examples are not convincing. I hope you can start from a higher perspective. Why do we have such a perception? How do you estimate the impact on teenagers?"

"It's not hard to understand. The idols people fall in love with often have some of the qualities they admire most, maybe looks, maybe wisdom, or maybe personal charm. The University of Delaware has done a survey, and found that college students' favorite TV characters have many similarities with their real-life lovers or partners." Hayami Saori said calmly, "Because I like them, I like them, it's that simple and crude, no matter if the object is real or virtual."

"Yeah." Yin Ze nodded in approval and gestured to continue.

"In addition, there is a hidden advantage to liking virtual objects, which is that there is no risk of rejection. In real life, there is a threshold to establishing a connection with someone you like, and it often backfires, or even leads to the embarrassment and tragedy of never seeing each other again. But pseudo-social relationships, or quasi-social relationships, are different, because they are one-way, and people can freely control when the relationship occurs and how deep it goes." Hayami Saori talked about it.

"So what was the trigger?" Yin Ze picked up a pen and paper and pretended to take notes.

"If your self-esteem is not high enough, you will be hurt by self-cognitive dissonance when you are rejected, so you will tend to reject relationships with lower risks, which is normal. For example, Hikigaya-kun, because he mistakenly thought that he and the female class leader were in love, his confession was rejected, and then he gradually became dark." Hayami Saori gave a very appropriate example, and then hesitated, "So, are you also..."

"Hikigaya-kun's incident is understandable. After all, it's understandable that he made mistakes in his judgment when interacting with a lively female classmate." Yin Ze only asked without answering, "But for the person in the media, the gap between them is obvious. How could he still be obsessed with him?"

"This is thanks to the magic of modern media technology such as video and broadcasting. The media can create an illusion that the person on the screen is talking to him alone. Many artists have such skills. In fact, they can predict the behavior of fans without actually seeing them, and respond to these behaviors in the studio. This will make fans subjectively feel that they have communicated with the object, which is simulated communication."

Hayami Saori nodded.

"Modern media has only been around for a few decades, but the biological evolution of the brain often takes much longer. Humans haven't had time to evolve physiologically and neurologically to adapt to modern media, and we can't yet distinguish between real human interaction and simulated communication."

"Yes, sometimes, some people cannot distinguish many obvious businesses. This is exactly the reason." Yin Ze happily wrote a line of records.

Moriki Hiroshi outside the venue was speechless for a moment... But what you are doing now is broadcasting?

"Do you think there is a religious conversion reason behind this?" Yin Ze struck while the iron was hot and just kept asking questions to gain inspiration.

"Before the Middle Ages, religion was the habitat of most people's souls, but scientific development and industrial progress separated people from primitive religion. However, popular culture still needs spiritual wine..." said Saori Hayami rigorously.

"How about continuing with the psychology part?"

"At a certain age, humans, due to their nature of imitation and learning, will shift their attachment objects from parents to other accessible or even inaccessible role models. This is a psychological phenomenon that occurs more or less during adolescence."

"Is it possible that this is a form of chuunibyou?"

"Some people pursue the 'real self' from others, while others desire the 'ideal self'. This is similar to what you said before, the stars hanging in the night sky, both sides are at different starting points and on different tracks. One side is desperately chasing, hoping that one day, it can say without regrets, 'Thank you for making me excellent'."

Hayami Saori expressed her appreciation and then sighed.

"As Thomas Carlyle said, the history of the world is, in the final analysis, the history of the great men who have worked in the world. Chasing the stars is our life preparation before entering society and is also a necessary process of psychological development."

"well."

Yin Ze smiled happily. It turned out that even the strongest lone wolf sometimes needs comfort. After such an exchange, the inspiration for the homework was really bursting.

The corridor of life is running at overspeed, rotating at 266%!

The information previously browsed on various websites was retrieved from the homework reference area in detail.

The man quickly created a blank document in his mind and began typing in his mind, writing a mental draft.

Title: "A Study on the Impact of Two-Dimensional Culture on Middle School Students' Self-Awareness"

I solemnly declare that the submitted paper is the research work and research results I have obtained without any guidance from my supervisor. To the best of my knowledge, except for the places specially marked and acknowledged in the text, the paper does not contain other research results that have been published or written. At the same time, the main purpose is to satisfy the supervisor, so students please quote with caution.

Summary:

The two-dimensional culture is a social phenomenon formed among young people with screen media as the carrier. Many young people call it "utopia" and are influenced by it to varying degrees, including their self-awareness.

Self-awareness is a multi-level psychological function system, which is an individual's understanding of himself, including the three psychological functions of cognition, emotion and intention. There are many factors that influence individual self-awareness, and culture is one of the important factors.

From the perspective of subculture research, combined with disciplines such as sociology and social psychology, this paper investigates the development of self-awareness among adolescents and the use of media, and explores and analyzes the relationship between two-dimensional culture and the development of self-awareness among middle school students.

Found through incomplete research.

(1) Two-dimensional culture has a certain influence on the development of middle school students' self-awareness. Different types of two-dimensional cultural media have different influences on the total score and each dimension of the development of middle school students' self-awareness.

(2) The length of time spent on animation has the most significant impact on self-awareness, and has a significant negative predictive effect on total score, moral self, satisfaction, and self-control. The frequency of game exposure has a significant positive predictive effect on physical self, and the length of time spent on game exposure has a significant negative predictive effect on self-awareness and self-control. The length of time spent on light novels has a significant negative predictive effect on self-control.

Yeah.

Then, making full use of the information, I discussed some things with a senior who never refuses anyone.

What are "cuteness and memes: aesthetics and expression", "sharing and reproduction of symbolic meaning", "meaning production and negotiation under the operation of micro-power", "inevitable censorship rules"...

The broadcasting room was suddenly filled with the fragrance of knowledge.

But obviously, although they are both top students, Miss Hayami is still slightly inferior. The further she goes in the future, the more time she needs to think and the more rigorous her words are to avoid personal misjudgments.

"Virtual communication and emotional resonance are fine, but invisible barriers and power gaps form resistance... I think I may have to look up some books or ask a teacher before I can answer you." Hayami Saori couldn't stand the guest's relentless pursuit. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her rare performance became stretched.

"This is a good thing." Yin Ze was overjoyed when he heard this. The dean implemented a high-pressure, free-range education and was willing to provide all kinds of help except help, and only showed his fangs when correcting papers.

If I could get help from professors at Waseda University now, I would be less criticized and gain credits, which would be a great thing.

I am just accepting the guidance of the elders from other sects. It is all academic exchange. I think the leader of Daxi sect will not care too much about it.

"Which teacher is it?" Yin Ze couldn't help but ask.

"It's Mr. Inoue." Hayami Saori replied.

"…It seems that the head of the research department is named Inoue, but the professor is best at forest ecology and tropical rainforests in environmental sociology." Yin Ze pondered. The martial arts style doesn't match.

"You seem to know a lot about it?" Even though Hayami Saori was slow, she sensed something was wrong.

"Alas, I just browsed your school's official website before, and I was born with a divine memory." Yin Ze waved his hand, "By the way, we just talked so much, it should be helpful for this 'Current Recharge Plan', right?"

"If we simply analyze why Hikigaya-kun has become strange...to be honest, it would be a bit too grand." Hayami Saori hesitated.

"Senior, you are underestimating the authors of light novels. According to my real experience, these authors all have great ambitions and the heart to swallow up the world. Maybe we have only analyzed a small part of it."

Yin Ze said sincerely, his eyes bright and the fire of ambition burning in his chest.

"Even with the combined efforts of you and me, we still can't get a glimpse of the 'real thing'. This shows how extensive his plan is. I have an immature idea. Next time, please invite Miss Toyama and Miss Yuuki. The four of us will form the most luxurious lineup the industry has ever seen, and have a big analysis. How do you think?"

"You make it sound like we're having a study session." Outside the venue, Moriki Hiroshi interrupted indifferently, "And I'm the boss here."

"If you hadn't emphasized your identity, I would have almost forgotten it." Yin Ze turned around and smiled, "Then can you..."

"No."

"You actually refused?" Yin Ze was unhappy. "You must have seen that our realm is too high, so you deliberately rejected my request. I clearly have no ill intentions."

"You are just too obsessed with the theoretical aspects. If you want to become a real person, you don't need so many plans. You just need a little courage to make a leap, for example, the courage to ask for the contact information of the senior." Moriki Hiroshi snorted.

"Good morning, senior. Could you please tell me your phone number, email address and Line?" Yin Ze immediately turned around and spoke very sincerely.

"Ah?" Hayami Saori was a little confused.

"Didn't you say you would check the answers and tell me? We can't exchange them on the set, or try our luck at the agency, right?" Yin Ze said firmly.

"Oh, then let's exchange now." Hayami Saori said and took out her cell phone.

"?"

The producer felt frustrated that he had shot himself in the foot when he saw the two of them actually start exchanging contacts.

But several staff members nearby who have well-developed muscles nodded secretly, saying that he is really unconventional and was born to do this job. I believe the number of views for this episode will definitely not be low.

Chapter 119 The Oath Has Arrived

The collection was finished quickly and smoothly. I never expected it. In the past, I always felt that time passed quickly when I was enjoying myself and catching up on sleep, and felt that the days passed painfully like years when I was studying. This time, it was the opposite. I even felt a little bit unsatisfied. I was about to finish writing, but was forced to stop by the producer's words "end". My inspiration was blocked, and I felt like I had only eaten half of a meal and was unsatisfied.

Yin Ze reluctantly said goodbye to Hayami Saori and made an appointment to continue academic exchanges on the social software. After taking the initiative to call a taxi for her, he was about to turn around and ride the blonde's foreign horse when he remembered that the motorcycle was still parked in front of the office. He came here in a daze and took a taxi with his senior.

There was nothing I could do but walk back.

"Wait a moment." Moriki Hiroshi caught up from behind.

"What's the matter?" Yin Ze turned around. "If you want to take photos for the broadcast, it's too late. Miss Hayami is already half a kilometer away."

"It's just a broadcast photo. It doesn't matter if we don't take it. We can just post your official photos and the effect will be the same. No one will really care about this. None of this is important." Moriki Hiro shook his head. "There is a letter. I think I should give it to you privately."

"What is that?" Yin Ze was curious. "Is it a new motorcycle?"

"You are such a delusional person. To be honest...it seems like this was submitted by your former classmate."

Yin Ze took the printed email, read it quickly, and then nodded in understanding.

——It was sent by a classmate from Metropolitan No. 3 Middle School. The gist of it was that after graduating and entering society, while drinking and chatting with friends, he recalled his childish behavior and felt regretful for it, so he wanted to apologize and hoped that if possible, he would be invited to attend the class reunion.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

School bullying meets workplace bullying, making fun of classmates meets being blamed and persecuted by colleagues, and tired ordinary people sit drunkenly around the boiling and steaming hot pot, chopsticks aimlessly scooping up undercooked beef. The gray-faced adults can't help but recall the relaxed school days, and finally remember a corner of the shadow, and belated guilt also arises spontaneously.

Just like Master Yin, who pursued freedom when he was young, thought that money was not important in life. Later, facts cruelly proved that this was one of the biggest mistakes he had ever made in his life.

Some mistakes can only be admitted when looking back. After all, when people make mistakes, they firmly believe that they are extremely smart and not stupid.

So when he saw these words, Yin Ze felt quite calm.

At first, I was a little curious as to why he didn't contact me directly, but then I thought, he didn't even have any communication with Takizawa's biological mother, let alone these classmates whom he had never met?

As for how his classmates knew about his current situation, it was not difficult to understand. First of all, he had heroically crossed the Akamon Gate and ended the blood fate of his clan for the iron-blooded educator. With Principal Koizumi's temper and ecstasy, the campus must have been filled with red banners announcing the good news that someone had been admitted to the University of Tokyo.

According to a director from the Mediterranean who wishes to remain anonymous, Principal Gu Quan was like a madman during those days. He would catch anyone he met to chat with them, and he would always make all kinds of unexpected turns and forcefully change the subject, and in the end he would definitely bring up the topic of "Do you know the recent story of a person who was at the bottom of the class becoming a genius in 90 days?"

All the teachers were annoyed, and only Director Mediterranean was willing to patiently respond, which was really touching.

"Why?" Yin Ze asked on the phone for some unknown reason.

"This brings us to the story of how I taught that last-place student to become the guardian of human morality." Yamaliu Shengxin spoke in a cheerful and proud tone.

"..."

Of course, with the passage of time, even the greatest happy event has passed, but the deeds of that young hero are still well preserved on the campus wall, and students can see them as soon as they enter the school gate and look up.

In addition, with Yin Ze's current account having hundreds of thousands of followers, he is at least a public figure, and there are many channels to get to know him.

But it's a pity.

This apology comes too late.

After Yin Ze sighed, he didn't say anything else. He just folded the printed paper and put it in his trouser pocket.

"So what are your plans?" Moriki Hiroshi couldn't help but ask.

"This has nothing to do with me, but if you really want me to say something...if it's still being recorded, I might borrow your equipment and say in public, 'I will not accept this apology.'" Yin Ze said simply, "Of course, this is how strict you are with artists, you can just cut it out later."

"What are you talking about? I've been in this industry for a long time and I've never cut a word." Moriki Hiroshi seemed quite professional, and then said, "But do you really think so?"

"On the one hand, I don't have the position to express my opinion, because it's really too late." Yin Ze sighed and said, "On the other hand, this world is not so warm that any apology can be accepted and can receive the feedback called 'forgiveness'. Since the letter was written out of guilt, then continue to feel guilty. It is impossible to find psychological comfort from me. The bully and the bullied finally hold hands and laugh. This kind of happy ending can only be found in strange literary works."

"So you definitely won't go to the class reunion?" asked Moriki Hiroshi.

"I don't have any high school classmates here." Yin Ze smiled and said, "Only classmates from the same period."

"Well, I'm just giving you the letter anyway." Moriki Hiro patted the other person's shoulder.

"Thank you. Next time I come to collect the content, I'll invite you to have a good meal across the street." Yin Ze pointed to the barbecue restaurant across the street.

"Next time?" Upon hearing this, Moriki Hiroshi raised his head tactically.

"Of course, after all, my academic exchange with Miss Hayami is only halfway through..." Yin Ze frowned. He tried to submit the paper to the headmaster in two weeks.

The joy on the producer's face over the further improvement in business soon faded away. After a faint greeting, he turned around and went back to the small building with his hands behind his back.

Humph, why is he so warm at first and so cold later? He is truly a businessman.

Yin Ze took dozens of minutes to return to the office. Adhering to the spirit of an excellent employee, he went to the snack area to get a lollipop and then rode his big horse back to the single dog den.

At the corner of the building, I met Asamiya Kazuki who was walking home from school with her schoolbag on her back.

"Oh, that's great. What are we having for dinner?" Yin Ze asked while locking his motorcycle.
