You may have already guessed the answer by looking at the title. That's right, this old man is Gao Xiaosong! A well-rounded Scorpio man who can write, listen to music, chat, and look at his mobile phone at the same time; a man with a thermos cup who is extremely sensitive to music and has a mysophobia about his music; a man who loves to laugh at himself, talks a lot, and loves to laugh at himself at the same time. A nasty guy who likes to taunt people; an old man who likes to shake his legs, akimbo, pouting, and does a lot of tricks, and he also likes to wear Tang suits.

It actually set a record of "one person achieving 1.6 billion views in 5 years." A netizen said: "One is destiny, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulation of yin virtue and five is reading. Gao can be said to have them all." So when I was young, I wrote songs, made movies, and traveled around the world. When I was middle-aged, I wrote books and produced programs, and talked about astronomy, geography, and Overseas experiences, Chinese and Western field history, unexpectedly did well. Among them, "Xiao Song Qi Tan" has a total online playback volume of 112 episodes of 790 million, with the highest single episode playback volume of 43.26 million, and a Baidu Index peak of 32,850; the total playback volume of "Xiao Shuo" The number also exceeds 650 million. Adding the two numbers together is “almost equivalent to being glanced at by everyone in the country.”

Stories about Gao Xiaosong’s family history and his days in white clothes are common on the Internet. Today I would like to talk about the charm of this old man from the perspective of "why so many people are willing to listen to Gao Xiaosong's nonsense".

He is so handsome that even a beauty camera cannot capture his beauty.

There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry. It is rare that Gao Xiaosong can stand out from the crowd. You can say that he has accomplished nothing, but don't say that he has poor looks. You must know that among all the young celebrities, Gao Xiaosong has carved a niche by relying on his shy, glamorous, or hilarious big-face skin-skin selfies, and has become the leader in the selfie industry. The audience saw a lot of fresh meat, and occasionally a plate of smoked bacon seemed to be bloody and exciting.

This mudslide cannot be underestimated. There are not many male celebrities who rely on selfies to sell peripherals, and they can also launch emojis and pillows from a certain website. With Gao Xiaosong's current appearance level, he is like Qin Shihuang building the Great Wall, which can be called the "eighth wonder of the world". What’s even more surprising is that there are still people who want such pillows. What do you want this pillow for? Hang it outside your home, or give it away if you have a grudge against someone? Fortunately, Gao Xiaosong is quite self-aware about his face. He said that he is lucky. As soon as he went out, he was hit on the face by a big cake. Just after eating, there were still vegetable leaves between his teeth. Boom, again. Smash a big pie down. Just good luck.

However, Gao Xiaosong still has to be rehabilitated. He was considered a young star when he was young, and his charming and suave appearance can be regarded as charming a group of older literary and artistic young women. I remember that Hunan Satellite TV's "Rose Appointment" invited Gao Xiaosong to appear on the show with his wife who had a three-day flash wedding. Host Feng Qi described the woman as having "a devil's body and an angel's face", as if she was a campus beauty from the University of International Business and Economics. According to Gao Xiaosong, he caught her after playing guitar on the lawn for three days. Back then, Gao Xiaosong still had good looks and talent.

On Weibo today, a female fan expressed her love for Gao Xiaosong. The main reason was because of his "fashionable appearance". It attracted countless otakus with broken faces to like and cheer. I almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood, so I would like to advise all otakus not to really think that girls love ugly men. Quoting Gao Xiaosong:

"Life has a gift for everyone. If you walk on the street without looking back, you can be in a daze for a long time, watching the clouds roll and relax in the sky, and there is no one there. I'm here to seduce you, it's good."

He talks a lot, and you can brag to me across the screen

In my heart, there are two top talkative people in the entertainment industry, one is Big Zhang Wei, who is purely talkative, is like Tang Seng in "Journey to the West"; the other is Gao Xiaosong, who is purely talkative, from "Xiao Shuo" to "Xiao Song Qi Tan" to "Xiao Shuo 2017", almost every day I chatted online for about 40 minutes. However, there are a lot of bad reviews about Da Zhangwei. As for Gao Xiaosong, they either love him to death or hate him to death.

I don’t hate Gao Xiaosong and his show.

Judging from the characteristics of cultural talk show web variety shows, Gao Xiaosong has his popular advantages: First, he has a hoarse voice, a nice timbre, and plenty of energy, comparable to Yi Zhongtian. He speaks at a moderate speed without the weird Beijing accent, and occasionally can Even with his fluent English, he had no problem having a long chat with Bill Gates. Moreover, he actually had a long chat with Bill Gates, and his big face almost matched Bill's pink cheeks. The second is that the tone is more direct, like chatting with friends. Even if you are occasionally arrogant, I still feel that there is some truth in what you say. Straight-tempered people are indeed suitable for being friends.

Let’s talk about the reasons why Gao Xiaosong’s program is popular: First, the program format is presented in the form of a talk show. Judging from Gao’s narration method and the complaints and short animations in the program, they are all using A popular or dinner table chat method to attract the audience. The second is the program content, which is mostly anecdotes about unofficial history, travel experiences, or celebrity anecdotes, etc. For example, watch American series about American stories about Chinese, Japanese, Jewish, and black Americans; military fans like the Korean War, Battle of Songhu, and Aircraft Carriers content; Oscar content for movie fans; rock history for music enthusiasts, etc. With so much complicated content, Gao Xiaosong was so ecstatic that the strong wind of his thoughts seemed to blow up pigs. I couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.

It is through a form similar to chatting with friends that we use popular language to restore the true appearance of the world, remove the poison that textbooks have on our minds, and encourage the audience to look at the world around them from a more rational and human perspective. , thus attracting a large number of fans to watch. Borrowing the propaganda from "Xiao Shuo": "One is not to be a public enemy, the other is not to be a public knowledge, everything is just for leisure and leisure. He talks about the stars and the moon, and he talks about ordinary people. His motives are never shameless, and his views are never neutral. ” This kind of independent thinking attitude, coupled with some feelings, is actually what many of us lack in this era, so it is also what most people are willing to cherish.

Let’s review the powerful sentences Gao Xiaosong once said on the show:

“History is not a mirror, history is gold. Only one person can survive today by sacrificing hundreds of millions; Life is not a story, life is sophistication, you have to work hard to live up to your fame and fame; the world is not just a matter of course, it is a distance, you can only travel thousands of miles to get back to the depths of your heart; the future is not years, it is a mystery, you have to read thousands of books Only then can you see the bright moon and the stars clearly."

"You are the star, and I am the one next to you. My entire trajectory is affected by you, even if one day this star goes out. Turned into dark matter, it became invisible, and it still affects my trajectory. Your appearance forever changes my star trajectory, no matter where you are."

Long legs. , crossing the mountains and the sea without pretending or pretending

"Like you, starting from your talent, falling in love with your appearance, being loyal to your character, but eventually becoming a leg fan." In the world other than appearance, Gao Xiaosong is also considered a winner. He won in the womb and in being educated. From a boy who played the piano to a storyteller in Beijing, he kept pace with the times.

Gao Xiaosong was reincarnated into a family with high-level intellectuals. His grandfather Zhang Wei was the first president of Shenzhen University, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a foreign academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences; his grandmother Lu Shijia was a member of the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. One of them is Professor Prandtl, the world's authority on fluid mechanics. He is the only Chinese doctorate; his uncle Zhang Keqian is a scientist in physical electronics and optoelectronics, a professor and doctoral supervisor at Tsinghua University; his mother Zhang Kequn studied under Liang Sicheng, a famous Chinese architect and architectural educator. , any one of them is a master of science.

According to Gao Xiaosong’s own account, he lived in Tsinghua University since he was a child. He wanted to know something, so his family members wrote a small note, and he took it to ask the experts in the field. Envy, right? Yes. But this person who comes from an awesome family background is not arrogant or complacent, unlike some intellectuals who like to point out the country and educate the younger generations after reading a few books. These shortcomings are almost invisible in Gao Xiaosong. The only time I saw him filled with righteous indignation was on the stage in the first season of "The Story of Strange Flowers". A doctor from Tsinghua University came on stage to ask about his future career direction. Gao Xiaosong became furious.

He said:

"Your performance today makes me very disappointed. I think you don't have the ambition of a student from a famous university. What does a famous school do? A famous school is important to the country." Qi, what is the purpose of graduating from a prestigious school? It is not for finding a job. Do you understand? The purpose of training you in a prestigious school is to make the country believe in the truth. This is the demeanor of a student from a prestigious school. A student from a prestigious school does not have the world in mind. If you don’t have the desire to transform the country, then ask us what kind of job you should find. Do you think you are worthy of the more than ten years of education from Tsinghua University?”

Although the employment situation is grim, finding a job is a must for young people. There is nothing wrong with the road. However, after watching that program, I was still willing to support Gao Xiaosong. It is a good thing to be strict with his juniors. After all, these days, the shaping and guidance of good social atmosphere still requires people with big minds to create and improve it, and people like Gao Xiaosong who are serious about competition.

As for making programs, I actually admire Gao Xiaosong’s seriousness in working hard. He really went to distant places, and many of his programs were told locally. Even if it was very dangerous, he was still unique. One episode of "Xiao Shuo" was directly set in a Brazilian slum where there might be a fight at any time. Someone asked Gao Xiaosong why he worked so hard? He has such strict requirements on himself, he must be an activist who devotes time and energy, and he must have real experience value. Only by experiencing it personally can it be possible to express so many true feelings. Otherwise, the audience may see through the slightest bit of fraud on the screen.

Read poetry and distant places, form and have an independent personality, independent economy, independent thoughts, be able to write poems and sing songs, and talk about mountains; it can make people feel relaxed and happy, and it can also give people a sense of majesty, and it can also The program was made possible by exporting experience and experience. This is Gao Xiaosong’s greatest strength. I can’t help but think of a sentence he wrote in his work "Like Mourning":

"So far, I have done all the things I like, and except for love and travel, they have all been converted into money. , Although it’s not much, it’s enough to live on.”

I have to say, this girl is quite awesome.

Xin Lang, writes songs, makes movies and shows, even has him in prison

After talking about his good looks, eloquence, and inner talent, let’s talk about the life he created Sense of presence. Gao Xiaosong studied electronic engineering at Tsinghua University. I forgot whether his major was torpedoes or radar. Later, he dropped out of school, formed a band, and studied directing. His life experience was rich and interesting. In 1994, he published the compilation album "Campus Folk Songs", and in 1996 he launched his personal collection "Youth Without Regrets". In 1996, he and Song Ke founded the independent brand "Wheatfield Music". In 1999, he wrote and directed the love movie "When the Flowers Bloom". In 2002, he wrote, directed and composed the movie "My Heart Is Flying". In 2011, he wrote and directed the movie "Da Takeo" which was released. In 2012, he hosted the talk show "Xiao Shuo" and started broadcasting. Joined Alibaba Music in 2015 and served as chairman. In 2016, he served as the chairman of Alibaba Entertainment Strategy Committee. In 2017, he continued "Xiao Shuo" and cooperated with Dragonfly FM to launch "Diao Da Jie North".

It’s like life is on the hook. However, he was accompanied by 1,720,000 Baidu search results for "Gao Xiaosong's car accident," 2,040,000 for "Gao Xiaosong's scandal," and 620,000 for "Gao Xiaosong's lawsuit." The sense of presence is really unusually strong. But I also admire him for always being able to grasp the rudder of life, no matter at the peak of the storm or at the bottom of life. For example, even in prison, he actually translated Marquez's "Years of Willows". Even recalling it later, he thought that those six months were the happiest time in his twenty years, "I didn't call it suffering. I just found a place to translate books. Anything with a deadline is not called suffering."

Ma Dong once said in "Qi Pa Shuo" that he likes Gao Xiaosong's unprovoked awesomeness the most. Maybe many people can't understand this awesomeness. But even if there are a thousand reasons to dislike Gao Xiaosong, founding a miscellaneous library is the one that should not be criticized the most in Gao Xiaosong's life history. Although he is not as direct as a celebrity donating money, the impact of knowledge seems to be far greater than Money lasts longer.

As the head of the elite prodigal class of young people, Gao Xiaosong’s life is full of sunshine and rain, light and dark. Regarding life planning, his attitude is:

“Don’t plan. Otherwise, you will be extremely disappointed. Just think about one thing. As long as you earn every meal by yourself, you will be very successful.

Society is not planned by you, you can only be chosen in this society. The same is true for me. I was chosen to do so many things... one chair, one mouth, two. This is what I was chosen to do in my life, sit in the studio, sit on the set, sit here, sit in front of the camera and 'talk'. ”

The above are all the reasons why I like Gao Xiaosong that I can think of today. I hope that those who read this article will have the courage to do things they dare not do and try even if they are alone. A life that has never been tried is to live a rich and personalized life
