Miley Miley and Rola Chen Basket are the same type of anchor.
When asked about his advice to young people, he said, I am not qualified to give advice. My experience is not universal, I am a lucky person, a caring person.
In 20 19, Rola Chen spread all over the network as a "security guard".
Indeed, as the pioneer of network explosions such as "university soul", "migrant worker" and "rat man", he is not only a "stream", but also a shrine, and is known as a humble hero, a Gotham clown after 1995 and an "E-God". I also encountered human flesh, was dug up by netizens as a "black history", was warned by the platform, and even fell into rumors of a ban.
From the small town of Xinzhou to the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, in this "fantasy drifting of young E", he has the pleasure of the peak moment, the confusion in the feasting, and the dilemma and compromise. The current can carry a boat or capsize it, and the speed of saliva retreating is not slower than that of the tide.
As he said, the experience of "carrying baskets" is not a model for college students' employment. But through him, we see the typical interaction mode between this era and the young people in the town, what they are nourished by, what they are hurt by, what they are blown to the forefront, and what they rely on to return to themselves.
Carrying a basket, whose real name is Chen Yi (hereinafter referred to as "Chen Yi"). 1996, from Xinzhou, Shanxi. He graduated from Guangdong Vocational and Technical College of Light Industry with a junior college degree. He embarked on the road of "flow" because of the whim of 20 19. In a small video, a young man in a security uniform waved handcuffs and shouted: "5 20, all security guards come out!" " Whoever catches a prostitute will be handcuffed! "
After the video became popular through WeChat group, Rola Chen started running wildly with the ID of "abstract basket". Before that, there was a "three-piece security guard", and then the whole network pioneered "college students, college souls" and "good morning, migrant workers", which became network explosions, adding more than 700,000 powder in half a year. When he graduates from junior college, he can earn "50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month".
When he filmed "graduation photo" in the second half of his sophomore year, he made a video for his classmates to give their graduation speeches in front of the camera. Classmate A said, "Is junior college graduation graduation?" Classmate B said, "Reincarnate as soon as possible." Classmate C said, "Reopen as soon as possible." Chen Yi did the opposite, and delivered a grandiose speech that later became an explosive stalk: "College people, college souls, and colleges are all people." Brothers, the basket goes first and you continue to study hard. In the future, 985, 2 1 1 will all work for us. "
In the "educational universe" that he constantly strengthens, Guangqing Industry is a "first-class college, but a small Tsinghua of a junior college", and it is also called "the double star of the world's junior college education" with Shenzhen Vocational College. In the live broadcast room, he once angered fans: "985 is very powerful? Ivy in my studio didn't say anything. Are you a 985 cow? "
After this series of operations, through the secondary creation of fans, "undergraduate promotion" and "college students" have become hot spots on the Internet. In his academic universe, college students stand at the top of the academic contempt chain.
It is one of Chen Yi's routines to speak for college students, lead wars and meet famous porcelain students. In July 2020, he led a junior college team to defeat the Fudan team led by Anonymous, and the female anchor had to shave her legs live in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
Speaking for the bottom "rat people" is another set of routines. In Rola Chen's video "Local Dogs Into the City", he looks up at the nightlife where Batman spends a lot of money and says "I may just be a mouse in the sewer" alone.
What followed was great resonance, self-mockery and secondary creation. "Although you are a mouse in the sewer, you should look up at the sky." Rola Chen said that people who like this kind of video, like him, are "a group of people who are not recognized by the public, with low income, decadent attitude towards life and eccentric psychology".
He went on and expanded his support. "I don't want to have a person holding a microphone. I want everyone to play together. " So, there is "good morning!" Migrant workers.
The word "migrant workers" first appeared on one of my fans in Anhui construction site.
"Leather factory to fall down, sister-in-law to run, only you dry to the old. Good morning, worker! "
"Friend, are you tired? Just tired. Comfort is the patent of the rich. Good morning, worker! "
The migrant workers in Chen Yi's video are stories he dug up from his fans. There is a small foreman in a construction site in Jiading, Shanghai, a part-time takeaway in Chongqing, and a Shandong girl who works in a cake shop in Beijing. When talking about the selection criteria, he quoted Jia as saying, "You can't ignore those who have been knocked down just because the times are moving forward." However, after the concept of migrant workers entered the mainstream public opinion field, regardless of class education income, they believed that the carnival of migrant workers spread rapidly, and many top stars appeared in the entertainment circle.
Rola Chen is really a "man of flow". However, two years later, the main account of one of his stations, "abstract with basket", has been in a state of suspension, and the live account has been banned many times. His new main account still has more than 6.5438+0.8 million fans, but it is a mixed bag. He said in Weibo's profile: "You don't have to know me, just watch my jokes."
Many media have written about Rola Chen's single-parent family background. At the age of 5, my parents divorced and grew up in the country with my grandmother. He came to Xinzhou to reunite with his father when he was in the third grade of elementary school. Entering the city, I began to contact computers and began to have "Internet addiction". I often steal money from home to play games.
Adolescence, for Chen Yi, means freedom as well as conflict. He said that from elementary school to junior high school, he has always been a bully and rarely bullied by others. "I had a fight with someone the day before the senior high school entrance examination." After high school, I was fired for fighting and had to find a relationship to transfer.
From Grade One to Grade Three, Rola Chen worked every year to earn money. When he was a freshman in high school, he asked his father to take a part-time job. When his father had no choice, he greeted a friend who worked as a security company. He just joined the company, and he was provided with food and accommodation for one month 1800.
"Security" comes from Rola Chen's real life experience.
"The three-piece security guard in the community, seeing the owner smiling, directs the driver to reverse the car, and beware of thieves breaking the window. This community is covered with baskets, and the spirit guys dare not mess around!"
For Chen Yi, security work gave him an opportunity to understand the social situation. He has dealt with small vendors who set up stalls in violation of regulations, experienced the demolition site and jointly enforced the law with urban management. He tried to "socialize" himself and tried to keep his bottom line.
"I used to think that the world was black and white, but now I know there are many intermediate states. This experience is an impact on my worldview. "
Besides being a security guard, he also worked as a waiter in a Japanese store, handed out advertising leaflets, and the hardest thing was to be a "bronze man" at the celebration. He will wear a costume, and all the body organs exposed to the costume will be painted with paint and copper powder, and he will stand at the event for several hours, one day in 260 yuan.
I worked part-time as a copper man during my college years.
These part-time experiences made Rola Chen come to a conclusion: If you want to get along well, you have to learn the word "forbearance".
Rola Chen, who became popular in 2020, has been endowed with a lot of "black history" by cyber black powder, such as disrespect for girls and outspoken. The most serious one is suspected of lighting a cigarette with banknotes. In order to prove his innocence at the legal level, Rola Chen turned to the school for help. With the help of the teacher, he took the initiative to report to the police and made a record. He said that he was especially grateful to the teachers at the school, "treat me as a student, even as a son."
Although the school helped him to eliminate some influences, the controversy over the black history still caused Chen Yi to suffer from the ban on platforms and other storms. In April 2020, with the help of friends, he went to Shenzhen to work in a MCN company. But in June of the same year, he returned to Shanxi unemployed. 20211/in October, at the invitation of Jin, the "master" of the fashion world, he moved to Shanghai to make a video in the new media department of a fashion magazine.
When I first met the "master" teacher Jin, Mr. Jin was in the middle of the photo.
Rola Chen feels that Shanghai has transformed itself spiritually. Living in the old community of Xuhui, he fell in love with the atmosphere of fireworks and unconsciously wanted to blend in.
He talked about a girlfriend in Shanghai and made many new friends. He envies his new friends and thinks they have the speed to make money and the temperature of life.
While in Shenzhen, Rola Chen never went to the park, and spent most of his time eating, drinking and having fun with friends. Now he recalls when he first became famous, he said, like an upstart.
In Shanghai, he saw stronger people, and realized that the gap between himself and the other party might never be seen in his life, so he simply did what he liked to enrich himself.
Now he makes four videos a month. The rhythm of life is watching movies, listening to music, falling in love, visiting parks, walking dogs and broadcasting live at night. He laughed at himself and said that he had led a "useless" life.
The live broadcast agency he signed up for wanted to reduce his salary, and he also chose to accept it. Now he has a live broadcast and rewards 1000 yuan. From the platform to the guild, seven buckles and eight buckles, only 300 yuan in hand. He said that 30% is not bad, and some people can only get 10%. His self-media will also receive advertisements. In the face of the needs of the financier, he never struggled. "People pay, how to change, listen to others."
"The students of 985,211are more self-disciplined and work harder than us."
Rola Chen said that he has never "discriminated" against famous students, and playing with academic qualifications is more about meeting the needs. "People in this circle like this kind of stalk."
Although "bringing a special person" is a trick, he talked about his alma mater: the school spirit is good, and the teacher has the responsibility; There are many professional thresholds that are not low, and you have to exceed two lines to qualify for admission; There are many outstanding graduates in the school, some of whom run foreign trade companies; Some are hotel co-founders and some are sculptors. "The school is full of sculptures donated by him."
Chen Yi read us the letter written to him by the head teacher10.2019165438:
"... although you are sometimes chivalrous and get into trouble, you will always feel more distressed for you. Of course, you are also glad that you know the direction and go straight ahead. If you know how to be measured, you will definitely do a lot in the future ... when you come back to report good news, come on! "
He always carries this letter, "The growth of men needs encouragement".
For Chen Yi, the reverse discrimination of academic qualifications is only the starting point to create the "program effect". On behalf of the junior college team against Fudan team, it is "an official activity, I do the effect, and they use it to stir up topics". "For the effect of the program, sometimes we have to pretend."
There are some highly educated people among his fans. He said that he admired a history student at the University of Chicago the most. No matter what topic he throws, the other party can "kill" an article-"This is the real college student".
Although he used his academic qualifications to create hot spots many times, such as registering his live studio ID as "9852 1 1", Rola Chen said that he respects people with knowledge and connotation. "If you don't respect knowledge, how can society have hope?"
When he mentioned what he planned to do in the future, he said, "I have no plan." He is waiting for his next brainwave.
Rola Chen studied business English in college. When he graduated in 2020, it happened to catch up with the epidemic period. There are no ceremonies at school. He packed some personal belongings and left his alma mater silently.
There is a fire in everyone's heart,
But outsiders can only see his cigarettes.
-Van Gogh
There is a question in Zhihu called "What kind of boy can be called handsome". The first answer in the default ranking is Edison Chen. Looking down, you will see an answer with only seven likes, and the name given is "Abstract Basket Rola Chen".
Maybe you don't know Rola Chen, but you may have heard of his screen name "Abstract with Basket", or seen his facial expressions and videos in the chat group. Among them, there are three most popular series: wearing a security uniform and claiming to catch prostitutes, introducing the security series of "three-piece security"; Wearing a bachelor's uniform, the "specialist" series declared that "the specialist is the soul of the specialist and the specialist is the master"; There is also a series of "migrant workers" who say "good morning, migrant workers" at 5 am.
In this era when everyone is playing with stalks, Rola Chen can be called a stalk blasting machine. In the past three years, he has accumulated millions of fans on various platforms with these explosive stalks and live broadcasts.
However, if you are familiar with "abstract culture", it is not difficult to guess that there are a lot of "like powder" among these fans, that is, "black powder" that delights in black masters and anchors and even insults, spills dirty water and reports. In the discussion of him on social media, words such as "clown", "vulgarity" and "dirt" often appear at the same time with him.
Rola Chen's cliché s such as "Security can't protect anyone", "You don't need to know me, just watch my jokes" and "It's raining, others are waiting for my mother to send me an umbrella, and I don't have an umbrella or a mother" sometimes make people think that he is a "man with a story".
However, several short films he shot, such as Shinshu Past, Clockwork Basket and I am a Security Guard in Infernal Affairs, all pay tribute to famous directors such as Sergio Leon, Kubrick, Liu Weiqiang and Siu Fai Mak, which is far from his online identity as a "funny internet celebrity".
Rola Chen's WeChat was added some time ago. He is now working in a fashion magazine in Shanghai, and there are new products and information commenting on the fashion circle every week. At that time, his circle of friends was not set to be visible for three and a half years, but even at the end, you didn't see many "abstract baskets" in it. What is common is unpopular movies, rap or rock songs. The sharing of photos of his dog and red wine with food is completely a young artist's painting style, and it is even harder to guess that he is an online celebrity with millions of fans.
But it is this contrast that makes me curious. With many questions, I talked with this "network celebrity" who came out of Xinzhou, Shanxi Province about his growth experience, Kubrick and Jia.

1. Orphan
Regardless of fame and fortune, "a basket of abstractions" has nothing to do with the word tragedy.
But if we regard Chen Yi and The Abstract Basket as a person's A side and B side, we can confirm Peisi Chen's famous saying:
The core of comedy is tragedy.
At the age of five, Rola Chen's parents divorced. Mother gave up custody, and brother and he were awarded to father.
On the day my mother moved away from home, Uncle Chen Yi drove her back to her parents' house. After packing, when my uncle got on the bus and was ready to leave, grandma suddenly picked up Rola Chen and stuffed him into the car, hoping that he would live with his mother in the future.
As a result, his mother pushed him out of the car and said a particularly vicious sentence: Your father with two sons will definitely starve to death in the future!
Since then, Chen Yi has never seen his mother again.
Many years later, Rola Chen can only think of some scattered fragments before she was five years old, such as a quarrel between her parents and her mother, and her mother broke her father's newly bought glasses. As for what it's like to be with his mother, he can't remember it at all.
In psychological theory, this phenomenon of Rola Chen is called dissociative forgetting. Patients have generally suffered a major blow, causing extreme grief or extreme dissatisfaction with their families. This is a self-defense mechanism, which produces a memory gap for a certain period of time and helps patients escape from trauma.
But he remembers that since then, he was particularly afraid that no one around him would make him feel like an orphan without parents.
Once there are many people, he will deliberately indulge himself and even lower his personality to make others laugh.
There is a simple reason. He likes being noticed by everyone.
Recently, more and more labels and topics about "abstraction" have appeared in people's field of vision. Liu Bo opened the door to abstraction earlier, followed by Chen Yi, who regarded a special person as a master.
What is abstraction?
"Abstract" can't find a particularly appropriate description at the moment. If we persist, today's "abstraction" may be a kind of "local flavor" that goes deeper into the spiritual level. Of course, the two are still not the same. What can be called rustic is generally based on the simple face and behavior of the performer, and sometimes even the audience can't help but sigh when performing: "It's so rustic." So earthy flavor is a superficial form. I don't joke about everyone's height and looks here, so I use the word simplicity to express it implicitly. )
What can be called "abstract" behavior often hides something else behind laughter. The ordinary level is like a simple and boring performance, and the advanced version is a premeditated and scripted performance. The first two works are usually called the whole works. But the real "abstraction" is the emotion that is revealed intentionally or unintentionally and can most resonate with the spirit of most ordinary people.
When education becomes an injury that you can't hide inside, then choose to be a wise man who is confused about the world.
Recently, various abstract short videos, mainly Rola Chen's Basket Abstraction, have flooded into platforms such as Mile Mile and Weibo. His representative works "Safety Series" and "Professionals are all talented people" are widely circulated in the form that the world finds funny.
Anyone who knows him a little will know that for an abstract basket, education is always the pain in his heart, and perhaps it is this usually cynical and helpless character that has made many netizens map it to their hearts.
On weekdays, the quotation that "junior college students, junior college students are all talents" and "9852 1 1 will all work for our junior college students in the future" seems superficial on the surface, but it hits the heart. Although this identity-like label can be teased many times in the mouth, it will eventually disappear between the cruel reality.
He graduated that day. On weekdays, he is the most heartless and should look forward to getting rid of the bondage, but in the photo, he looks dull, which is the dignified expression that everyone inadvertently reveals when thinking about the future and life in the middle of the night.
Subsequently, the abstract short video with basket spread like wildfire. Rola Chen also gradually appeared in the live broadcast of Weibo and Mile Mile.
Gotham clown freshmen, have you ever resisted the temptation of capital?
Displays the basic dialog without modification. Basket-lifting originated from "abstraction" and gradually became famous because of "abstraction". Every irregular live broadcast activity can get a lot of gift support. Gradually, the pressure and temptation of capital appeared.
After many live broadcasts, the live broadcast style with baskets gradually lost its original simple and sincere style and lost so much joy. Perhaps it is as Chen Xiao said on the live broadcast for a while: "Brothers, I can't do so much work."
After that, there were several scandals about Rola Chen. First, I promised to give gifts to my fans and friends, and then the atmosphere of the fans was chaotic. Can't help but sigh, is it really swallowed up by the temptation of capital?
I used to be sincere and moved.
I remember that in the previous live broadcast, I often made an "abstract" evaluation with a basket, and occasionally the whole work brought joy to everyone. Every time I receive a gift, I will keep thanking my good brothers, and at the end of each live broadcast, I will take pains but sincerely say to you, "Thank you for taking the precious time to watch the boring live broadcast in Xiao Chen. (Hands folded on his chest) Thank you for every barrage, every spicy strip, fireworks, lunch cards, skyscrapers ... In fact, I'm glad you can come to see me. Good night, brothers. "
I still remember that while teasing the audience, he did not forget to say something encouraging: "I hope that in the future, my brothers will be happier when they trust me privately." Don't send out trivial things all day. I hope to see more brothers say,' Brother Chen got a job' and' Chen Xiao went to college'. I hope you are well. Come on, brothers! "
That time, I was really attracted by him.
Here, the king also hopes that no matter what position you are in, no matter whether the surrounding conditions are good or bad, you can maintain a desire and love for a better life.
I also hope that "abstraction" may originate from humble and inferior life, but it stops at everyone's.
