A program of Phoenix TV tonight, the theme of which is shanzhai culture. In the past half year or so, with all kinds of festivals in the whole year, shanzhai Spring Festival Gala, shanzhai mobile phones, shanzhai laptops, etc., each one has been quite shocking.
The term "shanzhai" was first coined for the domestic mobile phones in Huaqiangbei. Since the poverty alleviation alliance of MTK platform, the entire mobile phone industry has set a model. During the three years of vigorous development, in 2008, someone proposed the beautiful name: "shanzhai mobile phone". Perhaps this term was too interesting, so it became popular at once and was widely used in various industries of socialism. Then came the shanzhai Spring Festival Gala, with rumors spreading on the Internet. Although I haven't seen it, I think it wouldn't be much worse than the official Spring Festival Gala in terms of entertainment, after all, self-entertainment suits the taste of the masses. We no longer want to sit in front of the TV like we did ten years ago to receive further education.
Some people say that shanzhai always plagiarizes and doesn't innovate.
Well, didn't some giant say that we should stand on the shoulders of giants...
That means, the shoulders of giants are there for us to stand on, to use as a base.
If you're lucky enough to have your shoulders stood on, you should indeed be grateful for the honor.
These days, everyone talks about innovation every day, but is it really that easy to create something new? It's not like taking a shoe like Stephen Chow did and saying it's actually a mustache shaver? No matter how much we innovate, the big pieces in our homes - TVs, washing machines, refrigerators - have never really merged into one.
Not to mention how much Chinese people love to copy and disregard intellectual property rights, anyway, for so many years, foreign products have also been copied back and forth. These days, what is truly original? The iPhone may be innovative, but it's still just a phone, it can't turn into an airplane.
One of the most important points of shanzhai culture is that it completely resonates with the hearts of the general public, giving them what they want. As for highbrow culture, it's not something that ordinary people can easily perceive. For example, iorgane, with its price of over 800 yuan and high quality, completely overturned the pricing system of iPhones, which cost thousands of yuan. Various dual SIM dual standby phones have already met the needs of the masses for two years, while the big brands only recently launched a few models, with prices nearly ten times that of shanzhai phones.
Therefore, from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely support the shanzhai culture becoming stronger and stronger, shocking you to death. The stronger it becomes, the better its quality and service will be. Why should we let foreign giants change the soup but not the medicine, change the design and come to make huge profits?
Let the shanzhai mobile phones and other shanzhai phenomena come more fiercely!!
