outputs classic quotations from "Naying", to "Hujin" swings a wheelchair and dances, from "Zhongs" and "Wang Dafei" to the magical same frame, to "Xiao Songwen" live broadcast connection with "Xiao Zhang Yi", traffic is king In this era, internet celebrities seem to have found a shortcut to success - imitating celebrities.

Imitation feasts are being staged one after another on the Internet, earning enough attention and money. It seems that "everything can be copied." However, netizens laughed and realized something was wrong.

"Yunnan Ah Hui", holding a basketball and wearing Kobe's iconic No. 24 jersey, sang "see you again" and said "Kids, I'm back" and revealed that he earned 80,000 in ten days during the live broadcast; Internet celebrity " "Wang Baorui" contacted Wang Baoqiang's ex-wife Ma Rong, hyping up the marriage incident, causing controversy, and posting three consecutive videos to apologize; some bloggers even reproduced the "prison" background, imitating the artist Wu Moumou who was imprisoned for rape, and started live broadcasting Sewing machine...

consumes dead celebrities, imitates bad artists, and hypes up vulgar scandals. Traffic is king, giving birth to "ugliness carnival". As written in Pu Songling's "Rakshasa Sea", some internet celebrities regard ugliness as beauty and vulgarity as elegance in order to satisfy viewers' curiosity. They do not pay tribute to classics or characters based on the original intention of artistic creation, but deliberately magnify certain flaws or controversial points of the objects being imitated, and use bottomless "reproduction" to gain attention. After

became popular as a "copycat", instead of reflecting on their behavior, some Internet celebrities showed off their income and challenged the public's bottom line. In 2022, a "pirate boy group" called eso exploded on the Internet. Its members include Yi Yang Dry Cleaning, Lu Ha, Wang Erbo, Huang Zicheng, Quan Kulong, etc. Among them, "Lu Ha" (now renamed Ling Dale), who was rated by netizens as looking the most like him, once revealed in a live broadcast that he earned 35 million in seven months after becoming popular, and that real estate, luxury cars and cars are readily available.

Netizens criticized him for being "famous when he became famous". He asked his soul: If I make 5 million for you a month, at the age of 23, will you be popular?

Such "soul questioning" sounds simply ridiculous. If the income of "5 million a month" is earned through honest labor and legal business operations, it is naturally worthy of respect and recognition. But if the accumulation of wealth only relies on imitation and copycats, then such "redness" is nothing more than a mirage, and behind the glamor is a pale morality. "You guys" might as well look at the colleagues who have been popular before. There are many examples of people who have fallen into the clouds because of "not being upright". Moreover, money is not the benchmark for measuring everything, nor can it cover up the unfairness of personal behavior.

Imitation should be a bridge of tribute and learning, but under the temptation of money and fame, it has become a hotbed of infringement and ugliness. Some Internet celebrities enjoy the dividends brought by imitation, but ignore the hard work of the original creators. It seems that as long as you put on the cloak of a celebrity, you can instantly have the aura and glory that matches it - this kind of self-deception mentality is not only disrespectful to the original creator, but also a great devaluation of one's own value, and also a violation of the law. Trampling on the bottom line. The real charm of

comes from self-discovery and growth, not copying and imitation. Although the copycat style can quickly gather traffic, in today's increasingly aware of copyright, any success at the expense of originality, any hype based on perfunctory utilitarianism, will be short-lived. Only those who have the courage to explore, innovate and insist on self-expression can gain a foothold in the ever-changing era and become a pioneer leading the trend.
