Volume 5: A New Era Chapter 99 Memes
Lu Bai was very clear about Zhang Hao's little thoughts.
He now discovered a further use for personal imprints.
That is, the mark does not necessarily have to be placed on a person's body, but can be exerted through other methods.
For example, placing a mark into a stone will assimilate the stone into a stone statue. If someone reveres the stone statue and worships it day and night, they will incorporate the existence of the stone statue into their own hearts.
The influence of Lu Bai's mark will also enter the other party's heart.
Another more pure approach is this.
Use a piece of paper to sign an agreement. The content of the agreement is not important. What is important is that the name that symbolizes Lu Bai's personal mark is written on it. Then another person agreed to the agreement and voluntarily wrote his own name.
When two names appear on the same agreement, Lu Bai's mark can exert a certain influence on it.
The principle is simple.
This has something to do with cognition. Your own name represents yourself. Once you sign an agreement, it means that you agree to the agreement.
So you will have some concerns about this agreement anyway.
In fact, caring about it is the same as worshipping and worshipping stone statues before.
But the effect is actually not strong.
But if this agreement appears all the time and asks you to complete the tasks specified in the agreement, you will only care more and more about this agreement.
The more you care, the more deeply the mark will be engraved in people's hearts, and the deeper it is, the stronger the effect of the mark will be.
Of course, this effect now cannot be compared with directly putting the mark on the body.
However, Lu Bai felt that as long as he continued to enhance this mark, then one day, the mark implanted in people's hearts would be more difficult to remove than the mark implanted in the body.
"My current idea is to use an external object that can attract people's attention and carry my personal mark."
"Then let this external object carry my mark deeply into people's hearts."
"Does this mean I'm going to debut as an idol?"
Lu Bai shook his head, and a bell rang beside him. The sound of the bell was melodious, peaceful and had a certain mysterious charm.
And when the bell rang, most people couldn't help but turn their eyes to look at Lu Bai.
Because Lu Bai always uses the sound of the copper-green bell when fighting, many people have linked the sound of the copper-green bell with Lu Bai's existence.
When the bell rang, he instinctively thought of Lu Bai, and then observed Lu Bai.
"That's right, sound itself can convey information." Lu Bai can now even use the sound of the copper-green bell to speak for himself.
It’s just that words, relatively speaking, are not as representative as the sound of a bell.
"Maybe music is a good carrier." The frequency of music is more representative and easy for people to remember and leave an impression.
Lu Bai thought about it, and then rang the same quiet and melodious bell again, adding some more melody to it, making the whole bell sound more infectious.
The live broadcast of Flying Ball naturally also watched this action and recorded the bell.
Many people also lamented that Lu Bai was actually a musician, and gradually immersed themselves in the sound of the bells.
Gradually, the sound of this bell began to penetrate into people's hearts, and every time it sounded, the symbol of Lu Bai would come to mind.
Today , the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference is the largest IP, and the related traffic has reached the peak.
For other so-called entertainment stars during this period, let alone divorce, even if they were revealed to have defecated in their ex-husband's bed, it would not attract much attention.
On the contrary, what is related to the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament is an explosion in traffic.
For example, the previous press release that implied Ye Longyu completely exploded. Well, the person who wrote the press release also exploded in an "accident".
This time, Lu Bai's bell obviously became another focus of traffic.
In an instant, those who knew music and those who didn't, all imitated the music of the bells.
It was as if a music craze had been set off, and the entire bell sound became popular all over the world.
There is naturally capital behind this. After receiving instructions from Lu Bai, Ye Longyu helped promote it. At the same time, a large number of mutual aid association members were also actively promoting it.
What’s more important is the “meme”.
Gene is the basic genetic unit that controls biological traits during biological reproduction and evolution.
Memes are the basic units of culture, transmitted through non-genetic means, especially imitation.
One is biological genetic information, and the other is cultural communication information.
The stronger the meme, the easier it is for cultural information to spread, and it can even spread in a pathological way.
For example, domestic violence makeup.
It was initially promoted as an anti-domestic violence campaign.
As a result, during the process of dissemination, some people linked domestic violence makeup = cool, thus forming a widely meme.
As a result, many people followed suit, discarding the original purpose of opposing domestic violence and focusing on domestic violence.
Through imitating makeup and other imitative behaviors, they express themselves as delicate, beautiful, and cool.
People who are not infected by the spread of memes will only think that these people are sick, but for those who are infected, they think they are just pursuing beauty and coolness.
Meme, to put it simply, is an element that is imitated.
If it is strong, it is easy to imitate; if it is weak, it is difficult to spread.
Why is Lu Bai’s bell so popular? It’s because Lu Bai understands people’s hearts.
As the demon lord of the six desire heavens, his six desires are gradually being fulfilled, and he has a deeper understanding of desires than ordinary people.
Secondly, Lu Bai also masters Demonology: Great Red Dragon, and has a deeper understanding of desire.
Coupled with the fact that there was a platform for live broadcasting of the entire world's number one martial arts tournament, as well as the capital and manpower behind it to promote it, it was natural that it would become a huge hit.
“The sound of the bells contains my message and imprint. As the music penetrates people’s hearts, my imprint is also gradually penetrating into their hearts.”
Currently, the effect of the mark allows Lu Bai to interfere with the carrier of the mark.
The mark deeply rooted in people's hearts also allows Lu Bai to interfere with their hearts to a certain extent.
This kind of manipulation becomes even easier when mixed with memes, cultural messages that are easy to imitate.
A simple example is the foreign custom of kissing on the cheek.
Under normal circumstances, if someone wanted to get close to you in the cheek, you would probably slap them in the face.
But when this is a culture and everyone else is enthusiastically kissing foreigners on the cheek, would you do the same?
Many so-called "foreigners" take advantage of so-called foreign etiquette.
When something is covered with the guise of culture and everyone is imitating it, you will be more likely to accept this thing that does not conform to your habits.
For example, swearing is not good, but when a lot of lyrics in rap are swearing, some people will think that this is their culture and there is nothing wrong with it.
This is actually a simple use of memes.
Combining his personal imprint, Lu Bai is now able to control anyone with average willpower who has listened to the bell music more than ten times to die in the sound of the bell.
Because Lu Bai can add a message when the bell rings - it is a blessing to die in the sound of the bell.
As memes spread, countless people will imitate them.
