There are two main reasons why peacocks open their screens: courtship and self-defense. Luo Fuxing adjusted the shape and looked at the camera. "Hello, my name is Luo Fuxing. I enjoy a great reputation in the global Chinese hairdressing industry.". His left hand was stuck in his trouser pocket all the time. His right hand dusted off the dust that didn't exist on his collar and made a figure eight to strengthen the impression of pose. His mouth did not open from beginning to end. This is a post-processing, dubbing and editing video.
Compared with bright red dress and fancy movements, his hairstyle is the most eye-catching point.

Luo Fuxing's hair swells like a peacock with its tail screen unfolded, and flattens like Tom flattened in cat and mouse. With the head as the center, each hair extends freely to the sky, showing a half open fan. Since the millennium, you probably remember the exclusive name of this hairstyle - kill Matt.
On the short video platform, Luo Fuxing wrote "kill the founder of Matt" in his remarks. This is his most famous title, symbolizing his supreme position in the field of killing Matt.
Now, the emperor is discounting his jade seal.
Sometimes, Luo Fuxing's hairstyle will turn into an oval "air helmet". He introduced this helmet that does not comply with traffic regulations. "They all say that the height is not enough for the hairstyle, and this hairstyle plays incisively and vividly in height".

Sometimes, Luo Fuxing's hairstyle will become a huge sea urchin. People who know his experience naturally know that this is a kind of hairstyle to kill Matt. People who don't know may think that he is more wooden sword eight in COS death.

Sometimes, Luo Fuxing doesn't seem to take his hair style seriously. In the short video, he stands upright with "peacock opening screen", which is held up by people as a broom. His carefully designed hair rubs against the ground repeatedly. "Only a handful of hair is needed for a square meter" he explains his "multi-functional hair style".

But in Li Yifan's documentary "kill Matt I love you", Matt killers don't make fun of their hair.
At first, Luo Fuxing appeared in the public view, not because of the documentary "kill Matt I love you" directed by Li Yifan. As early as when QQ space was the youngest social platform, Luo Fuxing was popular for a while as the "founder of Matt". In those years, you may not have dyed your hair green, but you must have seen the killing Matt guy who dyed his hair green in space. Maybe he is one of them.
Luo Fuxing was born in Wuhua County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province in 1995. He was a common left behind child in the wave of working at that time. Perhaps in order to publicize his personality, he got inspiration from a poster of Japanese and Korean visual Department rock and roll. He went to the barber shop to make an exaggerated explosive head, bought himself colorful hair dye, sprayed his bulging hair in the mirror and "created" a style.
For any style, it's good to have a name. According to Luo Fuxing's autobiography, he felt that the English name was very foreign, so he named it after the English "smart" of "fashion". Later, he added the unique rebellious localization of young people and created a new word - "kill Matt".
Courtship is one of the reasons why peacocks open their screens. The colorful tail screens of male peacocks can help them attract the attention of opposite sex peacocks.
Soon, because of the extremely eye-catching, kill Matt culture has a group of followers on the Internet. "Kill Matt" began to spread on online games and social platforms until it developed into what you remember.
More and more young people begin to accept the unique fashion of killing Matt, which makes them jump from passerby a to the most beautiful baby in the crowd. They get together, wear the coolest clothes and have the most fashionable hairstyle. Later, the use of the word was handed over to the "ghost fire boys".
History is similar. People who "blow up the street" often do not belong to the "street".

Even in those distant and vague memories, killing Matt is a kind of subculture and is not recognized by the mainstream groups. But the problem is that the game named after count thad takes place in the basement of the castle. Nerd of the running group only rolls dice in the room, but the "attention" game of killing Matt is exposed to the sun in public places.
Luo Fuxing, who stood at the front of the queue, enjoyed more attention and was also under more intense gunfire.
In those days, people's online confrontation was simpler than today. "Call you to death" still occupied a place in the weapon spectrum. The performance of most mobile phones is not very good. Killing Matt can't even fight back. With killing Matt being crowned with more and more negative impressions such as "little gangster" and "not learning well", they have become another group of rats shouting and beating across the street on the Internet from fashion trendsetters in the mirror.
Perhaps because of the reputation of killing Matt in the current environment and considering his growing age, Luo Fuxing decided to "wash his hands in a golden basin". In order to make a living, he took off his eye-catching gorgeous dress, dyed his hair black, walked down the table and returned to most of the crowd.

With the clean-up action of the three vulgar information on the whole network in 2013, the "killing Matt", which is recognized as vulgar, not only has a bad reputation, but also has fewer and fewer people. Therefore, people's impression of "killing Matt" now mostly stagnates in the era of social networking with QQ space more than ten years ago.
However, the name that should have been kept in memory chose to "return to the Jianghu" at this time, which led to the first scene - Luo Fuxing used killing Matt's hairstyle as a gimmick to make various videos of self blackening around his hairstyle.
He seems to have forgotten that "self hacking is not killing Matt".
This is a sentence highlighted by documentary director Li Yifan in his "one seat" speech on the documentary "kill Matt, I love you".

Since 2017, documentary director Li Yifan began filming "kill Matt". He tried to find the real group behind the concept and show the general public the real look of killing Matt through these people's narratives.
With the help of Luo Fuxing, he interviewed a large number of killing Matt in the past tense and the present continuous tense. From behind their readme, we can see the cruel growth history of children in a remote area.
Poor areas, left behind children, lack of native family education, low educational level, underage workers, black factories, there are hundreds of hairstyles that kill Matt, but their experience is like a set of public templates. Their life seems to have been on track since birth, guiding them from remote mountainous areas into various factories and becoming a process of the assembly line.
The words that symbolize experience have obvious causality.

Because of the low quality of teaching in remote mountainous areas and the inability of grandparents to provide guidance, most of them "Xinye" very early and began to work at the age of 11 or 12. Because they are young, all they can choose is black factory. Because they work in a black factory, they only get paid once every six months. They are deducted from seven kilograms to three or four hundred by the black hearted boss, which is like the miserable experience of "contract worker" in the textbook.
At the age when young people want to publicize their "self" most, they come to the assembly line that most resists "self". They are forced to erase their personality and become workpieces polished by machine tools.
But one careless, the workpiece jumped out of the assembly line.

Most people will have a good impression on people with similar personalities. When this psychology is used for social networking, it will become a diverse planet on soul, explore the customized labels of categories, or the MBTI personality test popular not long ago. For matt, the hairstyle is their common B612. There is no little prince they don't know, but there are playmates living on the same floor.
"When you see that person's hairstyle, you will think you are the same," shamatt described the group identity based on hairstyle under the camera. The exaggerated hairstyles in the eyes of normal people have no difference in the deeper part of their eyes, but only send a message - "we are companions".

As a result, young people rely on their hairstyles to make friends and skate around the skating rink late at night. A person who can't skate can also "mean" a few laps, because his companions in front of and behind will hold him tightly.
Another reason for peacocks to open their screens is self-defense. Opening the screen is a threatening behavior of peacocks for defense, which can effectively avoid fighting.
It's ironic, but in addition to wanting to make friends, Luo Fuxing also told everyone in front of the screen that the reason why some young people became Matt's killer was that "because they look like bad children, they are not so vulnerable to bullying".
Dressing up a little "black" is the unspoken rule of special areas or industries in the early years. In order to deter the "oil mouse", cart drivers often choose to tattoo in a conspicuous place. Whether this kind of deterrence has practical effect or not, it is always better than nothing.
Talking about this desire for self-protection, Matt, who had been bound to the "old confused boy", showed evasive eyes and shy smiles. However, even if it is only the "protective color" function, the hairstyle may not help them.

Ordinary people look down on killing Matt and think they are confused. The real old perplexers also look down on killing Matt. They think killing Matt is tarnishing the old perplexers. With the social hatred of "killing Matt", more and more Matt killers dare not go out alone because they will really be beaten. A man who killed Matt was "burned out" by strangers because his hairstyle was too publicity.
The hairstyle is the symbol of killing Matt and their dignity.
In order to protect his hairstyle, Matt can fix his sleeping position awkwardly; In order to show off in front of their hometown partners, they can keep a posture on the bus back home for three days; If the life of ordinary workers is to eat, work and sleep, killing Matt will be an extra "blow head".
The vulgarity in the eyes of the public, in their own hearts, is not only a portrayal of Venus, but also a symbol of the goddess of liberty. It is a workpiece on the assembly line and a symbol of striving to pursue "self".
But just like the metaphor we used at the beginning, "the emperor is discounting his jade seal", today's Luo Fuxing is using his hairstyle as a self blackening gimmick.

This should have been a little chilling. But in fact, in Luo Fuxing's short video comment area and live studio, no one mentioned the solemn "self hacking is not killing Matt". It seems that no one cares about it anymore.
More than ten years later, when he was only 15 or 16 years old, he had become the big brother and sister of Ben San and had a new life of saying goodbye to killing Matt. The creed of never giving up for collective honor may have given way to the trivia of daily necessities.
Now looking back on killing Matt, it seems that we can see young faces walking out of the mountain area. Because we can't find friends and are afraid of being bullied, we have the courage to DIY our own hair and become another person.

They grow up in the society of acquaintances, but come to the society of strangers, just like native Americans crossing the casino in their private plots, they have become different in the eyes of others. The huge loneliness that surged in like a tide hit their already fragile psychological defense line. So they embraced each other in the tide, and the dog residue became a "special" chew, and Xiao Hong became a "special" chew.
Therefore, director Li Yifan chose such a scene ending in the documentary "kill Matt I love you"——
Luo Fuxing looked up at the surrounding high-rise buildings from the ground. The windows of the high-rise buildings were either bright or dark. Then the camera began to rotate for a minute, as if the high-rise buildings were pressing against him from all directions.

There are two main reasons why peacocks open their screens: courtship and self-defense. When most people come to the Peacock Garden, they will try their best to let the peacock open the screen. No one cares where the peacock comes from and where it wants to go.
Peacocks have ornamental value because they can open the screen. A peacock that can't open its screen is not a peacock, but a pheasant.
