[简答题]Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that it marketed aggressively and gains some popularity, and it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy. But in time, the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly. The demand of the public holds the art- ist hostage to his or her own style, success, fame. If the artist attempts to change his or her style of writing or dancing or singing, etc; the audience may turn away and look to confer fleeting fickle fame on another and then, in time, on another, and so on and so on.
