html On June 21, the entry #杨幂publishedcissue# was on the Weibo hot search, triggering a large number of discussions among netizens. Not long ago, the topic of actor Lin Gengxin's success in taking the exam also attracted a lot of attention. The reason why these two recent events are so popular is that they break the public's traditional understanding of the boundaries between entertainment stars and academic research. In the face of this "cross-border", we Let’s take a more optimistic view.A few days ago, Yang Mi published a paper titled "A Brief Discussion on the Creative Habits of Actors in Film and Television Dramas - Taking TV Drama <哈尔滨一九四四> as an Example" in the academic journal "China Radio and Television Journal" (cssci extended version, Peking University Chinese Core). From the entertainment circle to the academic circle, the connection between the two terms actor Yang Mi and thesis issue C shows a new possibility. As for Lin Gengxin's admission to the Shanghai Theater Academy's doctoral program in 2024, the same is true. They are entertainment stars' cross-border development and challenges and attempts in the academic field.
However, due to Zhai Tianlin's fraud incident and the endless phenomenon of "nine-leak fish" in the entertainment industry, the public generally has a skeptical attitude toward the academic abilities of most celebrities. Whenever similar incidents occur, they cause a lot of controversy. In the face of this phenomenon, we especially need to think calmly and objectively. Indeed, academic research requires talent and strength, not just traffic and fame. But we can’t kill them all with one stick just because of some individual cases. Yang Mi’s publishing of c-journal and Lin Gengxin’s getting admitted to Ph.D. show their courage and ability to cross-border challenges, and at the same time, they also provide new ideas for individual development.
Nowadays, cross-border development has become more and more common and important. By breaking the boundaries between different fields, we can transform traditional thinking patterns, transcend inherent cognitive limitations, and promote the exchange and integration of knowledge, thus injecting vitality into personal growth and social development.
The explorations of Yang Mi and Lin Gengxin in the academic field can, on the one hand, serve as examples to encourage the diversified development of the public. They have used their actions to prove that personal growth should not be limited by professional labels, and that everyone has the opportunity and power to try. Unknown areas; on the other hand, it can also bring more attention to academic research, which will help the relatively closed "academic circle" to communicate more effectively and promote the dissemination and popularization of knowledge.
Of course, while we are optimistic about cross-border development and affirm its positive significance, we must also remain calm and objective. Academic rigor and professionalism come first, and there cannot be any compromise for traffic and popularity. Celebrities' participation in academic research should be based on solid professional abilities and practical research foundations, ensuring that every crossover is not only a formal integration, but also an in-depth collision and exchange of content. The academic community should also adhere to the "threshold" of evaluation and not let "star halo" become the basis for judging academic value.
In short, we might as well look at this phenomenon with a more positive and optimistic attitude towards the cross-border development of celebrities and attempts at academic research. At the same time, we use it as a starting point to encourage and support more people to try cross-border development, constantly explore new fields and opportunities, and contribute to the progress and development of society.
