Translator 549690339
The controversy over GTA had yet to die down when the players heard another piece of very surprising news.
“The famous current affairs debate program in the country,’today’s current affairs debate’, had invited Chen Mo as a special guest to discuss the backstory behind GTA development with some domestic experts, scholars, and opinion leaders, as well as the positive and negative effects the game had on players! ”
!!
Many players were completely dumbfounded when they saw the news. They even thought that they were seeing things.
“What’s the meaning of this, Chen Mo is going on C-site? ”
“And he even had to fight these experts, scholars, and opinion leaders head-on? ”
“Looking at the list of people partic.i.p.ating in the show, it seemed that more than half of them were against GTA? ”
Was Chen Mo going to fight a war of words again?
But … Would this work?
“Everyone knew that even though ‘today’s current affairs debate’ was a current affairs program, it had a very strong debate nature. In general, current affairs programs would have the host speaking on stage and inviting a few experts and scholars as guests to say a few words to support their own opinions. However, the host of “”today’s current affairs debate”” had to strictly maintain a neutral position. His main task was to guide guests from both sides to debate on the same issue. In the end, he would only summarize the speeches of both sides and would not make a final conclusion. ”
“The program’s material selection was basically some controversial topics. In other words, both sides had their reasons, which was why it was called a “”debate.”” ”
“However, even though it sounded Grand, in reality, this show could easily turn into a large-scale battle scene … ”
“Don’t think that those experts, scholars, and opinion leaders were all gentlemanly. They stood up one by one to speak like college student debates and let the other party finish first. ”
“In fact, in this program, some experts and scholars really quarreled like aunties bargaining in the market. They interrupted and interrupted, even raising their voices until they were red in the face and lost their manners. ”
“This could not be completely attributed to a problem of quality. On the one hand, these opinion leaders had not been trained in debate. Many times, they would subconsciously interrupt others ‘speech when they were thinking about something. Many people could write a long Weibo post in text, but they might be illogical if they were to open their mouths and say it on the spot. On the other hand, if you didn ‘t, you would be in a very pa.s.sive situation when everyone was talking first. It was a bit like “”a scholar meeting a soldier”” or “”a gentleman meeting a hooligan””. Even if you were reasonable, the other party could still gain the upper hand in the situation. ”
“Obviously, the guests partic.i.p.ating in this show were very conceited, especially in their own field of expertise, so it was very normal that the more they argued, the more explosive it was. ”
“The program was nearly an hour long. At the beginning, everyone was polite and maintained their manners, but by the last twenty minutes, the situation was often out of control. ”
“Of course, at this time, the host needed to guide the guests ‘speech, but the host was not omnipotent. Those who could come to this program were all famous people. Sometimes, when the guests were talking endlessly, the host couldn’t directly interrupt them when they were halfway through, as it would be embarra.s.sing. ”
“Therefore, the effects of each episode of the show were completely unpredictable. It was already not easy to keep the show running normally … ”
“As an important program on C site,””today’s current affairs debate”” still had a great influence in the country. The players knew very well that if Chen Mo went to the show, he would be stepping into the muddy water. ”
“A lot of people didn’t understand, mainly because there was no benefit for Chen Mo to be on this show! The so-called ‘opinion leaders’ could use this opportunity to gain some popularity, gain more fans, and earn more money, but what would Chen Mo gain? ”
“As the saying goes, it’s not rare for dogs to bite people, but it’s news for people to bite dogs. Even if Chen Zhao really won the debate, it would be a loss of face. ”
“The players were even hoping that it was fake news, or that Chen Mo would change his mind and not go, but as the broadcast time approached, there was still no such news. ”
“Clearly, Chen Zhao was determined to get involved in this mess and bite a dog. ”
……
“On the day of today’s current affairs debate’s broadcast, many players uncharacteristically waited in front of their televisions. ”
“For many players, they had long stopped paying attention to television shows. There were all kinds of video websites and a lot of live broadcasting platforms. If you wanted to watch something, you could just search on the internet. Why did you have to watch TV at a fixed time? ”
“As a result, many traditional television shows already had very low viewership ratings. They had to rely on the internet to broadcast them to extend their lives. ‘Today’s current affairs debate ‘, as a C-site program, was in a better state than some of the smaller television stations’ programs, but not by much. ”
“This time, the program was broadcast simultaneously on the TV station and the Internet, but the ratings on the TV station alone were already shocking. ”
The real-time viewership ratings were 6.47!
“This was a jaw-dropping figure. It had even set a viewership record for “”today’s current affairs debate,””even surpa.s.sing some of the more phenomenal television programs and dramas! ”
“It must be noted that a phenomenal food Show in the parallel world only had a viewership rating of 2.7, while the highest viewership rating of a phenomenal TV series was only 5.44, with an average of 2.83. This was already considered a G.o.dly work, and it had even become a hot topic on Weibo and major forums for several months. ”
A current affairs debate program’s viewership rating had actually reached 6.47. It could be said that it was the focus of the entire nation.
“Moreover, this was the real-time viewership ratings calculated. After the show was done, the figure could still increase … ”
“Obviously, this was all due to the popularity of GTA and Chen Mo’s personal charm. If one were to talk about the hot topic in China, then the controversy caused by GTA was the undeniable hot topic, and today’s current affairs debate was the perfect Center of the hot topic, so it wasn’t surprising that it had so much attention. ”
“The popularity of the online livestream room was also off the charts. The players couldn’t wait any longer, and all kinds of bullet comments filled the entire screen. ”
“””I’m waiting for Chen Mo’s verbal battle with the Confucians! It’s best to curse these so-called opinionated leaders to death!”” ”
“””I’ll always support GTA! No explanation for a divine piece of work!”” ”
“””Cloud players have specially come to like GTA!”” ”
“The bullet comments were all in support of Chen Mo and GTA, and even if there were one or two comments like “”GTA is harmful to society””, they were quickly drowned out. ”
It was obvious that Chen Mo and GTA had an overwhelming amount of support on the internet.
“To the players, this debate wasn’t just a TV show. It was a struggle, a battle. If these views that supported the restriction of games prevailed, then the entire domestic game industry would be affected, and even everyone’s freedom to play games would be restricted. ”
“For the freedom of the players to play the game, they had to fight! ”
