Can you gain popularity if you make mistakes on stage? Our report says, “Yes!” Idol-development programs like “Produce101” have been on fire in China in recent months. So, what personalities do teenagers want to see on these contestants? What personalities do they pick? A survey of 82 students aged 13 to 18 and attending high school in Haimen that we did in June found that students believe they are learning life values by watching idol programs, including such qualities as strength and diligence.These qualities are the right way for people to survive in this society; luck and good appearance do have their own power, but without real strength and diligence, few people can achieve long-term success. Let’s see the stories. Vote for beauty？ Yang Chaoyue is a contestant in “101”, which is an idol survival show in China like “American Idol”.

  • Female Idols in East Asia from the Perspective of Feminism
    2019 International Conference on Art, Design and Cultural Studies (ADCS 2019) Female Idols in East Asia from the Perspective of Feminism Chuqi Huang School of International Studies, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou510275, China [email protected] Abstract. In recent years, people have gradually begun to pay attention to the development of idol industry. Idols, as the objects chased after by teenagers, need to shoulder the responsibility of public figures and play a guiding role for fans. Based on the prosperous female idol industry in East Asia, this thesis expounds the images of female idols in China, Japan and South Korea, and analyzes their historical background, the degree of the rise of female consciousness and their limitations. It is believed that with continuous development and improvement of the industry as well as the growing female movement in the world, the leading role of female idols for ordinary women will be more and more obvious. Keywords: feminism, East Asian female idols, female consciousness. 1. Feminism and Female Idols 1.1 Girl Groups Manufacturing in Three East Asian Countries Girl group generally refers to a group of multiple-person females selected, trained and organized by a brokerage enterprise in the entertainment industry. Brokerage companies will give team members a position in the team according to their own characteristics or specialties, and this position will largely determine their “character setting” after the debut, that is, the image displayed in front of fans. Therefore, the girl groups of various styles or members of different positioning in the same group are often with different target fan bases.

  • Cyberviolence in Digital Fandom Culture
    ​ More Than an Entertainment — Cyberviolence in Digital Fandom Culture MA Thesis Baowen Miao Student number: 2021749 MA track: Online Culture Department of Culture Studies School of Humanities and Digital Sciences Aug. 5, 2020 Supervisor: Dr. Mingyi Hou Second reader: Dr. Ico Maly Abstract With the emergence of social media platforms, fan practices and discourses have entered into digital space. However, the misuse of technological affordances of social media together with the contested understandings on the normativities of contemporary fandom can lead to mass cyberviolence against both celebrities and fans. Inspired by the recent celebrity suicide cases in the K-pop culture, the current research explores the intersection between cyberviolence and fan practices. Through a digital ethnographic approach, the study delineates a landscape of various fandom-related (potential) cyberviolence behaviors on Chinese social media Weibo by paying attention to both the specific cultural and industrial dynamic of Chinese celebrity culture and the digital affordances of the platform. The study identifies six categories of prevalent cyberviolence behaviors, including the memetic uptake of celebrity image, the negotiation of celebrity image among fans, the toxic competition among fans of different celebrities, the conflicts among fans of different fan objects, ‘bot’ accounts as professional haters, and the offline consequence of cyberviolence. By analyzing the digital practice, linguistic features, technological affordances, and legal aspects of each case, this paper summarizes the general feature of fandom cyberviolence, and discusses their formation from both the cultural and technological perspectives. This study has caught up with one of the latest and most influential fan practices — cyberviolence in Chinese digital fandom, and may lay a foundation for future fan studies.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 469 Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Art Studies: Science, Experience, Education (ICASSEE 2020) Observation on the Turn of Music Talent TV Show 3.0 in China Xing Liu1,* 1College of Literature and Journalism, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan 610000, China *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Music talent shows have always been an important type of Chinese TV programs. In the 3.0 era, TV programs are mainly about idol cultivation and subculture music. Hall's encoding / decoding theory provides theoretical explanations for the new ecology of program makers, players and audiences in the 3.0 era and the new landscape of consumer society. With the development of big data and new media, TV producers put the audience's position in front to bridge the gap brought by different meaning structures, and at the same time share the coding identity with the players and the audience to consolidate the interactive ritual chain. In the 3.0 era of musical TV talent show in China, subculture has gained space for expansion, advanced gender culture has gained the Promised Land for development, and capital has been realized by hot style. What needs to be paid attention to is the influence of "information cocoons" on teenagers as the main fan group. Keywords: music talent show, consumer society, audience, code, interactive ritual chain exceeded the price of 110000 yuan / 15 seconds of I. INTRODUCTION CCTV's most expensive advertising period.
