P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 120

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

The audience at once supposed it was all right, and cried out, “go on, go on”; which he did, and at every imitation of Booth, whether as Richard, Shylock, or Sir Giles Overreach, he received a hearty round of applause. I was quite delighted with his success; but when he came to imitate Forrest and Hamblin, necessarily representing them as drunk also, the audience could be no longer deluded; the hissing was almost deafening, and I was forced to lead the actor off. It was his last appearance on my stage.

白话

巴纳姆请来的演员模仿著名悲剧演员布思,观众起初以为是真的,大喊“继续、继续”,每模仿一次理查三世、夏洛克等角色都赢得掌声。巴纳姆正高兴,可当演员模仿福雷斯特和汉布林时,因为必然把他们演成醉醺醺的样子,观众不再买账,嘘声震耳,巴纳姆只好把演员领下台,那是他最后一次登台。核心是:模仿或借势能短期奏效,但一旦越过观众能接受的底线,就会反噬。做法上,借势要选观众认可的对象,别为了效果丑化他们。取舍是:博眼球有风险,要判断观众的容忍度。

今日一问

你在借势营销时,有没有考虑过观众对被你借用的人或事的情感底线?
