Why do the audience willingly pay for tickets to watch the show even though they know the WWE fight is fake?

Zhang Anbang talks about things in the martial arts——

The West has WWE, and the East has Kung Fu movies.

They are all fake, but the audience comes faster and in greater numbers than in a real fighting event!

Including Japanese sword and halberd films, although they are realistic, realism does not mean reality.

Chinese martial arts movies are flying around, and they are even more outrageous!

At the end of the last century, when Chinese kung fu competed with American boxing, when they first came into contact with each other, the Americans joked that there would be no flying around in the arena. This was of course a joke, showing that foreigners did not know much about Chinese martial arts films. It’s been a long time. As for the boxers, they must have watched the actual training videos of Chinese athletes before the game. They have targeted training and professional coaches interpreted it, and they will not believe in supernatural powers.

This episode actually shows that there are many people who like "adult fairy tales".

Martial arts are called adult fairy tales in the Chinese world.

WWE is not the same. It's like a modern version of Superman, a stage of American personal heroism.

Movies are just for watching, the stage can be interactive, and flexible plots can even be designed according to the audience's feelings. This is not a step above martial arts movies. After all, the director will take the audience into consideration when filming them. , but I will also take care of my own artistic pursuits. In short, I won’t be able to modify it when I get to the theater.

WWE is a model of sports business operation. The capital mentioned in the netizen’s question is profit-seeking. This sentence can be easily understood by everyone.

As for the audience knowing that it is fake and still willingly selling tickets, this has psychological needs. Not everyone can achieve complete catharsis in the real world, but your emotions will follow. The performance of the characters on the field was fully released.

Body, money, spirit!

Whether it is martial arts movies or WWE, they are the pursuit of the spiritual world. For the audience, the needs of the spiritual world are based on the material basis.

Aren’t you enjoying the reality show?

The movies are all fake, why don’t you watch them too?

To be honest, the questioner, I suggest you withdraw this question to avoid being criticized by wrestling fans. From the perspective of a wrestling fan, your speech is extremely wise. Of course, the ignorant are not guilty, and as a 13-year-old wrestling fan, I don’t blame you, but I suggest you withdraw. First of all, you have to understand what is the charm of WWE, in other words, professional wrestling? To put it bluntly, professional wrestling is a large-scale reality show. Everyone knows that it must be fake, but professional wrestling’s collision of tough guys full of male hormones, ups and downs of plot design, distinctive character creation, and dazzling wrestling moves, these Etc. is the charm of professional wrestling. There is also the cutting of leeks you mentioned. I really want to laugh. What is cutting of leeks? Cutting leeks means that big capitalists use a trap to harvest the wallets of the working people like a white wolf. In other words, the real cutting of leeks means that I invest almost zero, in a deceptive way, and you get nothing. Squeeze your wallet dry without even knowing it or even unwillingly. I just want to ask, wrestling fans pay for tickets and watch online broadcasts for their own hobbies. Professional wrestlers fake fights and real slams, and perform bloody and sweaty performances throughout the game. Is it like cutting leeks again? If you think wrestling is fake and you want to watch it for real, go watch UFC. Your point of view is like, there are art films and science fiction films in movies. Those who like to watch art films should watch art films, and those who like to watch science fiction films should watch science fiction films. After watching the science fiction film, you said that art films rip off the audience's money, because art films have no special effects and no big audio-visual scenes.

Just like science fiction movies, they are all fake, and everyone is willing to watch them. It is a performance

Just like Kung Fu movies, you know they are fake but it is fun to watch!

Why do audiences willingly pay to watch movies and TV shows even though they know they are fake?

Why do people still watch movies and TV shows when they know they are fake?

WWE is either fighting or scripted live performances. We know that movies, TV series, plays, and operas are all fake. , why are you still watching? What we saw was the story and the performance! !

There are also real fights, but they are relatively few.
