Can watching TV series and movies improve IQ and EQ?

Art comes from life, so in film and television dramas, we can also see many shadows of real life. Whether watching TV series and movies can improve your EQ and IQ depends on the type and quality of the TV series you choose, as well as your investment in them as a viewer.

Improve your EQ and IQ by watching movies and TV series. Teacher Li Xinpin, the queen of copywriting, is a good example.

Unlike many people who regard movies as a pastime, in Li Xinpin’s world, movies are a big source of inspiration.

She said that one hundred minutes of the movie can give your life a hundred endings. You can die a hundred times, live a hundred times, be a hundred kinds of people, live a hundred kinds of lives, and have A hundred homes and a hundred lovers. One minute in a movie is more exciting than a year of your life.

And her way of watching movies is also very special. She will let herself perform various role plays to improve her mind and judgment. For example:

(1) You can regard yourself as the protagonist and think about how you would deal with it if that were you.

(2) If you were the protagonist’s opponent, how would you resolve the crisis.

(3) If you were a photographer, how would you describe it and how would you use an attractive lens to tell such a story.

(4) If you are a director, how should you grasp all human resources and emotional overall situation.

(5) If you are a screenwriter, is there any way to write a more exciting movie plot than what you see?

Teacher Li Xinpin benefited from this method, and she also tried her best to promote it. She mentioned this method in her classes and books, and recommended many video lists. In Li Xinpin's book "Fourteen Life Creative Lessons", she mentioned the benefits of watching movies: allowing yourself to experience a different kind of life, tap your potential, learn life skills, and help yourself live better.
