I am unable to listen to the voice clipping due to some computer problem. But I want to share some thoughts with you.
I once read an article about "Bollywood", i.e. the Film Making Industry in India. It said all films produced in India are "Happy, Prince & Princess Style" stories because people are living very hard lives already and they don't want to see any more poverty & sadness in movies. I think the India people go to the movies for an "Escape", for something they cannot find in reality.
I think people (especially young people) need 偶像/明星/名牌…. to fill the empty space in their hearts and to reinforce their own identity.
