Have you been swiped by Zhang Zifeng and Ouyang Nana? Welcome to the world of Generation Z

On the evening of April 4, "Extreme Challenge 7" was launched. In addition to the 6 regular guests from the previous season, 19-year-old idol Huang Minghao also joined the show. At this time, Mr. Wang, who loves Internet surfing, exclaimed: Why is it you again!

Mr. Wang, who likes to watch variety shows, said that according to incomplete statistics, he has watched many popular variety shows such as "Happy Camp", "Escape Room", "The Great Wall" and "Running Brothers" I've seen this guy before, and he's not the kind of guy who is borderline. For example, he has been the host of "Happy Camp" for nearly a year, and has spoken more than Wang Yibo, who has been the host next door for six years.

In a hidden corner, the movie "My Sister" starring Zhang Zifeng, who was born in 2001, has exceeded 500 million in box office within six days of its release, becoming the only film outside the 2021 Spring Festival to break 50 million. Billions of new domestic films.

We can’t wait any longer, today we are going to talk to you about our invasion of the Z generation in the entertainment industry.

01 What is Generation Z?

Generation Z mainly refers to the generation whose growth period was completely synchronized with the formation and rapid development of the Internet and was born between 1995 and 2010.

Here are some heart-broken emojis for new girls who have not caught up with the Generation Z train. Whether you want to admit it or not, you have to admit that Generation Z has quietly risen in the field of film and television, games, and sports. We will also use Huang Minghao, Fan Chengcheng, Ouyang Nana, Zhang Zifeng, etc. as examples to talk to you about the conspicuous marks left by Generation Z in the entertainment industry.

02 Born with the Internet, she is the mobile router!

If the childhood of those born in the 1980s and early 1990s was spent skipping ropes and weaving feather shuttlecocks, then the children of Generation Z are a generation that grew up with the development of the Internet. They are the ones who created the Internet from scratch. Aboriginal people have real Internet thinking and enjoy the diverse entertainment and socialization brought by mobile Internet technology.

Compared with their predecessors, they have mastered a lot of Internet "slang", such as oligei, gkd, rain girl without melon, light yellow dress, no, no, no... in your case Before they fully understood the true meaning of these hot words, they had already quickly updated their online communication passwords.

As for the use of various short videos and APPs, they have super learning abilities. Among them, Ouyang Nana, a generation Z youth in the entertainment industry, stands particularly tall.

She was the first female star to start using vlogs to share her daily life, which sparked a craze for vlog shooting in the entertainment industry. Now she has updated 98 vlogs, and each of them is done by herself with a camera. The filming was done by herself, and the script, soundtrack, subtitles and titles were all designed by her herself. To put it bluntly, the vlogs shot by outsourced teams of many female stars selling sheep's heads and selling dog meat are not worth mentioning in front of Nabi.

Ouyang Nana’s vlog of her recent trip to Disney has more than 300,000 views on Station B, where young people gather. Her other vlogs also have beautiful data. They are popular because Ouyang Nana's vlogs are shot by herself. From creativity to perspective, they are close to the Z generation youth, giving them a sense of involvement. For example, when other female celebrities go to Disneyland, they may just show off their beautiful makeup and insert a few advertisements of their sponsor fathers. In Nabi's vlog, she dresses like girls of the same age, and provides everything from checking into a hotel to going out to eat, playing sports, watching fireworks, and providing food, accommodation, and travel tips.

On Weibo Night, which was attended by half of the entertainment industry, she took the departure pictures herself and recorded, produced and broadcast the vlog on the same day. The new sister watched the whole process and could only sigh, it is you, Ouyang Nana, what other female celebrities need a team of eight people to complete, you did it alone, what a young and energetic person!

03 Script killing, escape room, scorpion dance,

The new track of Generation Z

Traditional culture has long been unable to define the young people of Generation Z. They embrace The richness of subculture far exceeds that of the post-90s generation. Five years ago, you may not know what escape rooms and escape rooms are. Now, escape rooms and escape rooms have become the new trend of Generation Z. It is the same as eating snail noodles. There is only a difference between the first time and countless times.

For example, Huang Minghao frequently appears in "Escape Room" and "Celebrity Detective" and cosplays in disguise anytime and anywhere. Being young and free-spirited, he was able to master both script killing and secret room clearance at his fingertips. Compared with traditional star artists, he has many more options for him to play besides acting and singing. After all, a few years ago, who would have thought that script killing and escape rooms could also be made into variety shows.

Huang Minghao’s latest work is cosplaying Shen Gongbao, dancing the scorpion dance which is very popular on the Internet. After watching Huang Minghao’s many variety shows, Hou Guanghui, a senior media person from New Women’s Newspaper, came to the conclusion: This kid can do it You can take things easy, because you are young, so you call everyone brother when you meet them. During the show, they hugged Deng Lun and Lei Jiayin and called brother without blushing. When renting a house on the show, you can call and borrow money from Yang Mi, who plays games with you; On the set of "Extreme Challenge", you dared to splash water on your senior Jia Nailiang. If he doesn't become a hot search, who will?

04 Colorful hair, figures, sneakers, games, animation,

The trendy code of Generation Z!

ELLENMEN summarized the portrait characteristics of Generation Z, who like colorful non-mainstream hairstyles, various large color blocks, exaggerated accessories, and two-dimensional elements. We find confirmation in them.

White, blue, yellow, and red, Generation Z won’t stop playing with their hair.

Blind boxes, figures, and limited edition sneakers can easily become the creative inspiration of Generation Z. Chen Feiyu, who was born in the new millennium, is nicknamed Shoemaker Xiao Chen and shares his shoe graffiti creations every day.

Contrasting colors and punk, Fan Chengcheng relies on his own taste to gain a foothold in "Trend Partners".

During the trip, Dong Zijian, Liu Haoran and Wang Junkai could argue about which Ultraman is better looking. Is this our Generation Z?

05 First of all, you have to have a cat

Some analysis reports pointed out that Generation Z has their pet culture, and cats are the main pets, probably because cats are such creatures. Much like Generation Z, they are free-spirited and independent. The new sister randomly selected a few samples of Generation Z, and boy, there really are cats!

How about it? For those who don’t know Generation Z, do you have a preliminary impression now? The new sister feels that Generation Z is not as simple as we think, nor as complicated as we think. It’s not because they are the main force of the two-dimensional culture that they are naturally culturally isolated from us. Chen Weiting and Zhou Yangqing, who were born in the 1980s and participated in the same program as Fan Chengcheng, rated him as "mature, sensible, and considerate". Huang Minghao, who was born in 2002, is known as the "brother machine". He has gained brothers from the 60s to the 70s. Everything you need.

Hello, Generation Z!
