The boy Nercusus stood up to reflect on his page on the lake, and when he was absent from the fact that that person standing on the other side of it was nothing but himself, he thought it another person and passionate about it. But his lover remained away from him, there is no way to connect him, and the sadness came and the heart of Nerxus, who lost all desire for life and whose soul was lost, was lost, and his end was that he died as a loner without ever knowing that the one he loved was only his reflection.
Perhaps the real tragedy in the Greek myth "Nerxus" is that he could not "capture" himself, or break away from it and then ponder it from afar as a subject of love. Now, for example, we find many people around us who - like Nerxus - fell in love with themselves, but instead of sadness, they live a long life, which turns into a museum in which there are only variations of one masterpiece called "I", and their main concern is to draw attention to it, Hence, make it famous. (1)
In her research entitled "Popularity and Social Self", the researcher "Dara Greenwood" discussed this phenomenon and the reasons why one devotes his life to the pursuit of fame, then she discusses three of the most important of these reasons: desire for belonging, narcissism (satisfactory self-love) and desire To communicate.
In the context of Greenwood's research and the reasons given by it, we can move closer to understanding what might make someone willing to do anything to draw attention and achieve fame. According to her research, the search for fame may sometimes be related to the instinct of survival itself. A person who is more known, more beloved, will find someone who pays more of the risk and then increases his chances of survival. At other times, the desire for fame is in response to the fear of death, where some find in the perpetuity a type of eternity and then, to overcome annihilation (2) as this is related to the concepts of psychology and social related to social standing, and in the era of the image, and the constant change, The presence of the body in the images, and under the lights of continuity, appears important to the self-interest of the masses' attention, and to the identification of its existence, even if this presence is controversial and fake.
Why do those who have gained fame and ascend the ranks of "society stars" in a constant need to draw attention and take any action in the way of this?
Perhaps then, because the connections of fame with the desire to stay and settle for fear of death, we can explain the most abnormal behavior that newspapers are looking at every day for people whose only desire is to draw attention. A short time ago, American newspapers published a teenage story that pushed the young man with whom she had a relationship that led to suicide (3), so that others view her with the "bereaved sweetheart" view, and another who accidentally killed her lover while they were carrying out a trick that included shooting him, that was in the context of a video They wanted to film it and then upload it to YouTube to achieve high views, but that tragic ending ended (4).
The search may then answer the question, "Did someone seek fame?" It explains to us such strange behavior. But what remains puzzling is the question: Why do those who have gained fame and ascend the ranks of “community stars” always need to draw attention, and take any action towards this? An interesting example of this is an incident that took place some time ago, and was recently repeated in another form, the champion this time not of the Greek "Nerxus", but the Egyptian singer "Tamer Hosni".
Just a few days ago, singer Tamer Hosni wrote on his Facebook page, saying, "We broke the old world record by more than two times. Thank God, Tamer Hosni enters the Guinness Record Encyclopedia as the most influential and inspiring artist in the world." It is the news that his fans soon proudly transmitted for what Tamer did, but only a few hours, the Guinness Book of Records set the record for denying that Egyptian singer Tamer Hosni got the record as the most influential and inspiring artist in the world, in a statement she posted on her website.
And to clarify the encyclopedia, the record set at the Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi was for the most number of posts on a bulletin board, and not as the most inspiring and influential person, as according to the encyclopedia "does not follow clear standards." For this "misrepresentation" and falsification of the facts raises many questions about the reasons that prompted Tamer Hosni for such self-declaration, which, incidentally, is neither the first nor the second of its kind.
The industry of self-myth
The story of the apparently fake appearance of Tamer is not new. A similar event was repeated two years ago, when Tamer Hosni published in the media the news that he will travel to Los Angeles to be honored and put his imprint in the front yard of the Chinese theater in Hollywood, in addition to the presentation of his latest film "Goodnight". In one of his halls.
Due to the history of the ancient Chinese theater dating back to the twenties of the last century, and to the high position occupied by its front yard, on whose tiles the most important artists of America and the world were printed with their fingerprints (5), some people doubted that Tamer Hosni's account.
Despite the great celebration with which fans of Tamer Hosni met the news and described it as a pride for all Egyptians and Arabs, this could not prevent suspicions from floating on the surface. Many logical questions began to appear, including: What did Tamer do to deserve this honor? And how does Tamer reach what was not preceded by another Arab, until Omar Sharif, the owner of the three Golden Globe Awards and the Oscar nomination? Indeed, how can he obtain what many American and non-American movie stars, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz and Monica Balucci? Even Tamer Hosni's publication of the honoring ceremony and the printing of his handprint did not contribute to dispelling these doubts.
Not long ago, the truth began to be revealed. An Arabic site published an article in which its writer concluded that the Egyptian magazine "Enigma" published in the English language is responsible for this concert, and that it was she who communicated with the Chinese theater to rent one of his halls and presented the movie Tamer Hosni It out for the purpose of promoting. When he communicated with her, the magazine confirmed that Tamer Hosni's fingerprint will not be in the front yard of the theater without explaining where it will be specifically. The writer also indicated that renting a theater hall to any party was recently available after it was purchased by the Chinese company (TCL). (6)
A few days later, a Facebook video of the American actor residing in America, "Sayed Badria", spread out in which he went to the front yard of the Chinese theater. After a lengthy search for the tile bearing the imprint of Tamer Hosni, he found nothing. It appears that the controversy raised by the matter escalated until he reached the stage management itself, after which she released an official statement regarding Tamer Hosni's concert. The text of the statement, as circulated by the Egyptian newspapers, came as follows: "To whom it may concern, after a series of questions regarding the celebration of Tamer Hosni putting his cement prints, we would like to make it clear that they are temporary, and that the ceremony was held in the Chinese theater in order to promote only his latest films" Good "We would like to clarify that the celebration of Tamer Hosni is not an independent act in itself, as we always make famous celebrities, fictional characters and famous animals who put their fingerprints in our hands and feet with us, just to promote their artistic works, but we remove them after the end of their celebration, and a festive tamer Hosni fingerprints fall under this item, He made his mark for Troy's purposes Yeh only, and it will not be kept in the courtyard of the theater. "(7)
Even after the truth emerged, Tamer Hosni did not back down from his position or publish in an official statement an apology to his fans. In what Tamer did, we find an attempt to create a personal myth of the self, even when there is nothing on the ground that formulates that myth, he does not despair, but rather sculpts it himself, even if it is an illusion.
This incident brings back to our minds a basic question: Why is a celebrity involved mainly in some "childish" behavior, as some see it as an attempt to attract attention? But in order for us to try to answer better, we must not forget that this is not the first time that Tamer Hosni claims something to appear shortly after he is not correct.
Rima returns to her old habit
In 2010, Tamer published the news that he won the "Big Apple Award" which he described as "international," and gave him the title of "Legend of the Century", because, according to the site "in the art": the first artist in the world to sing, act, compose and compose his songs He composes the stories of his films, producing and directing, in addition to achieving a very high popularity in the world. " (8)
We were in Maidan to search for this award to see its details, to find the absence of any mention of it on any prominent foreign newspaper website, and we did not find a page on it on Wikipedia. And on the prize’s website, and to discover that it put a lot of Egyptian and Arab media entities on the page of its media partners, including, for example, Rotana, the stars of FM and Nayel FM (9), which makes us wonder, do you think, a music award sponsored by one of the music production companies? Minimum credibility?
| TAMER HOSNI spread news about renting fans to his concerts to rely on him and adding a hysterical case about him (communication sites) |
What further confirms the lack of credibility of the award, artist Mariam Faris said during a television interview with the media Amr Adib that most of the awards that Arab artists claim to be global are given to them in exchange for paying the artist for a financial reward or reviving it to a ceremony on the date set by the award management, and specifically mentioned World Music Oored, and the Beige Apple Music Oored, who Tamer Hosni has long boasted about (10).
In addition to the aforementioned, it has been spread more than once about Tamer Hosni, news stating that he rented out fans to his concerts to depend on him and add a hysterical situation around him, the latest of which was stated by the Lebanese Joe Raad by saying: “There is a young man named Rabi, who is renting girls to Tamer Hosni’s concerts” (11)
Taking all of this into account, perhaps it applies to the style of Tamer Hosni's character what researcher Elan Golumb wrote about the narcissist in her book "Hibsin Al-Miraya", where she said: "On some level of the unconscious, narcissists deny their bad image unbelievably for themselves, To escape from them, they refer themselves to bright forms of infinite greatness surrounded by impenetrable psychological barriers. The only goal of this self-delusion is to protect themselves from the external criticisms that they intimidate, and to escape the ravages in their souls from a loss of confidence. (12)
In light of the foregoing, we can conclude that all of Tamer Hosni’s actions stem from a deep desire to carve his personal legend. On the contrary, Nerxus who fell in love with his reflection on the lake page and then died of sorrow for the impossibility of that love, Tamer Hosni constantly tries to make his excessive image In greatness about himself is a reality before all eyes. But it seems that this desire dominated him to the extent that he chose with him for his legend a fragile body of lies, forgetting that the lie has a disjointed structure that collapses at the slightest scrutiny, and that sooner or later his imagined legends will fall apart and only fragments of illusions remain.
