The Relationship Construction Of Fan Community In Internet Age

With the development of domestic entertainment culture industry,fans and virtual fan groups have gradually emerged as a new cultural phenomenon.The arrival of the Internet age has made it possible for fans to converge and reshape the interaction within the fan community.As a new generation of young people moves toward society,the cultural imprints they carry are gradually merged with mainstream culture.The collective identity of "fans" is one of the unique performances of this generation of young people.In addition to their respective realistic roles,"fans" Identity has become their network role in virtual space.The originally independent and dispersed individual identities are connected to each other through the network,forming a communicative network in the virtual space and constructing a relationship between them.Although the Internet has provided fans with a wide enough virtual community space with its open and public features,in the eyes of the public,"fans" are still separated from the mainstream culture,and behind the fan's identity is still "crazy".The potentially negative meaning of vocabulary such as "extreme",this long-standing stereotype is difficult to show the true construction of fans and their cultural ecology.From the perspective of the academic research of fans and their communities,Western countries and Hong Kong and Macau have studied earlier and their research results have been relatively mature.Domestic research has started late.The current shape industry in China has gradually improved,and the role of fans in the mature entertainment culture industry has become increasingly clear.Academic research often fails to keep up with the development of the industry.This research focuses on the "construction of fan-virtual community relations" and selects the most representative popular icon idol Luhan and his fan group "Luwei Jiejie" as the case.Through participation observation and in-depth interviews,the representativeness is selected to be representative.The fans were sampled from the community sample and communicated effectively with featured fan community representatives through one-on-one interviews.The interaction and communication patterns and community members within the fan community were analyzed through information obtained from two aspects.Internal and external relations with each other.In the context of a specific fan culture,on the one hand,the stratum and power structure in the inner group are explored,and on the other hand,the dependence status of fans,idols,and commercial capital is observed.In the interview,the author tried to use the incident caused by Lu's "public affair" at the end of 2017 who decided to go public with GuanXiaotong's romance as an introduction,through the fans' opinions and answers,to find out and analyze the relationship mechanism and relationship construction between the fan community and the idol so as to peek into the dynamics of the fans,so as to figure out which part of role that the fans are playing in the dynamic development of the industry.
