The host paused for a moment before asking, "Did you say the opposite of what you just said?"
Yin Lian said: "No."
The host defended: "You are beautiful and others will only like you. How can they hate you?"
Yin Lian said: "Brother Zhang, do you think more people like a good article or a good-looking painting?"
The host Zhang Ge showed a hesitant expression. After thinking about it, he smiled and replied: "This question is not easy to answer. Some people like reading, some people like to appreciate paintings, and some people like both. If you ask this question to everyone , everyone’s answer may be different.”
"This answer is really cunning." Yin Lian laughed and complained, "It sounds like he said a lot of philosophical things, but in fact he said nothing."
"Excuse me for being so sophisticated." Zhang Ge said with a hint of teasing, "You know, if I take sides here, tomorrow the website will be bombarded by supporters of the other faction."
Yin Lian said: "In that case, let me put it another way. If Brother Zhang saw a book and you liked its cover, would you try to read it?"
Zhang Ge said: "We also need to look at other things, such as the title, introduction, etc... But if the cover pricks me, there is a high possibility that I will read it."
Yin Lian said: "But if there is a book and you don't like its cover, is it possible for you to read it?"
Zhangge: "Well..." He thought for a few seconds and said, "I think it is still possible to read it, if the reviews are good, or if I am interested through other channels."
"What if not? You know nothing about it except this cover?"
Zhang Ge said: "I understand what you mean. You are saying that your appearance is your cover, and many people will be prejudiced against you because of this. People who like you will eventually get to know you, but people who don't like you will , but because I don’t like your cover, you will ultimately lose the opportunity to give the book a fair evaluation.”
Yin Lian nodded and said, "That's it." Then she said, "I can't say that my articles are very good. In these competitions, I have also encountered various strong opponents, including Many people's articles have impressed me deeply, and I have learned a lot from them. I am definitely not the strongest in this competition, at least not yet, but I will work hard. Since I am not the best, I can't ask for it Everyone likes my articles, but I think that the fact that I have gotten to this point means that I am pretty good at writing, and there should be a small number of people who would like it without seeing what I look like. I think you like the stories I wrote.”
She smiled and said: "I hope more people will like my story instead of being obsessed with my appearance."
The program team assigned Yin Lian significantly more interview time and length than the others. For the audience who came because they were interested in Yin Lian, this time basically flew by, but for other players and players' fans, it was a bit unbearable.
Or rather, it is most unbearable for other individual players who have a direct stake.
Yin Lian's words were clever. In addition, she was young and spoke well-founded. In fact, it was not very offensive. On the contrary, because of this words, it gained a wave of favorability among the audience and made people reflect on what they were before. It's not that I'm really biased against her and I fail to look at this girl objectively.
As for the players, it seems that this is not the case at all.
Look at how many viewers showed up specifically for 610016 today, right? This itself has actually affected the fairness of the entire program. The girl is more eloquent than others imagined, and she can even ask the audience to "treat her fairly" under such circumstances.
So the next contestant No. 22, during his own time, gave up introducing himself because of his dissatisfaction, and directly said: "I want to ask contestant No. 21, you said you hope that others will not look at your appearance. Pay more attention to your article. In this case, why don’t you continue to remain anonymous? Don’t you know that as long as you stand there as 610016, you will cause injustice to others!?”
After he said these words, there was an uproar immediately. Although there was no sound from the virtual auditorium, everyone could see that many people were whispering to each other, obviously discussing the accusation made by contestant No. 22.
Yin Lian didn't expect that the competitors in this world would fight so directly... She had never experienced this kind of frank fighting method, but to be honest, it felt pretty good.
She glanced at the host, but it turned out that the host did not seem to have any intention of stopping the topic. Instead, he asked: "Xiao Zhui, do you want to answer Ziduo's question? You can refuse."
Yin Lian smiled and said, "Let me interpret Mr. Duo's words first. What you mean is that there seem to be many people watching the game just to see me. Do you think they may ignore the game? process, just vote for me."
Player No. 22 said: "I didn't say that. But it's obvious that they will lean towards you. Don't you think this is unfair to other people?"
Yin Lian replied: "Then I want to ask you a few questions. I have also seen your personal information. According to the information, you are ten years older than me, which is equivalent to ten years of experience. Do you think this counts? An empirical injustice?”
Contestant No. 22 was immediately choked by her and said, "How is this the same?"
Yin Lian asked again: "Then let me change the question. Some people's parents are playwrights and they have received a very professional literary education since childhood. Some people have almost no contact with this profession due to various reasons. Is this considered a profession? Kind of unfair?"
"Some people are born with quick thinking, creative talents, and can deal with various themes, but some people always lack a little talent and need to spend more time to ponder and practice before they can write good articles. This Is this considered unfair?"
Yin Lian threw out several examples in an instant, very aggressively, and almost pushed contestant No. 22 into the corner.
Xia people actually like to quarrel.
When Yin Lian went online, he could see all kinds of people debating for various reasons in various forums or online spaces everywhere. This kind of quarrel is not strenuous. In Yin Lian's view, it seems more like a debate activity based on the purpose of active thinking. The bottom line is not to be messy and to follow basic logical rules.
Therefore, even in the show, Yin Lian's remarks did not seem to arouse dissatisfaction from the audience, but instead heated up the atmosphere. Such a tense atmosphere seems to be exactly the kind of speculative atmosphere that Xia Guo's atmosphere likes.
Player No. 22 said: "How can this be the same... These are objective social factors. How can there be such perfect fairness in the world -"
As a result, there was a burst of boos from the audience.
Contestant No. 22 seemed to finally realize something and said: "Sorry, I shouldn't question you for this reason. Appearance itself is also an objective factor and must be taken seriously. I apologize for what I just said."
Yin Lian smiled and said she didn't care, then looked at the host and asked, "Can I say a few more words?"
The host is eager to do so.
Yin Lian said: "It does seem that a lot of people here are here to watch me, or to be more precise, they are here to watch 610016. Maybe it would be fairer for me to remain anonymous, but as many people have said, I am not happy to do so. I don’t want others to see this face and say, this is 610016. It matches many actors, but it doesn’t match me. So here I am, using my own face, and I feel upright. And I also believe that all of this Although the audience who comes from time to time may be attracted by the cover of a book, in the end they will only remember it because of the content. In this case, I think this competition will still be fair, because in the competition, They will read many different books. After all, the cover is just to arouse interest, but it is the reading itself that brings recognition and enlightenment."
Then she bowed and said, "I have finished my words."
Thunderous applause suddenly erupted from the virtual audience.
The host was very surprised by Yin Lian, and even some of the contestants were convinced by Yin Lian's words.
In the auditorium, the audience was talking a lot.
"I'm really a fan of her now."
"She is so sensible. I originally thought about what kind of person 610016 would be, but I really didn't necessarily vote for her. But now I am really interested and even want to read her articles. "
"You haven't read the article yet!?"
"Hey, did you see it?"
"How should I put it? Although there are still some areas where the processing is not smooth enough, it is really..."
"...talented."
This little interlude ended quickly. The host continued to introduce the remaining contestants and then announced the start of the game.
But there was no competition on this day. The host simply introduced the rules of the competition.
Host: “The rules of this year’s competition are as follows: In the following competition, a total of thirty-six players will be divided into six groups. Each group will compete every day and one member will be eliminated. After six rounds of competition, the players will be The remaining thirty members are regrouped to compete, and this is repeated until the final winner is determined. In addition, any player who is eliminated has three opportunities to challenge the players who are still in the game, and each challenge takes three In the game system, if you can win all three games, the challenge will be considered successful and you can replace the challenger to occupy the opponent's position; otherwise, the challenge will fail."
"The specific content of the daily competition will be announced on the day. The judging method is a combination of three-party anonymous votes from the jury, daily random authorities in the industry, and the audience. So you don't have to worry about some overly popular contestants being eliminated for reasons unrelated to their own works. To get a lot of popularity votes, unless all fans can accurately identify the writing style of their favorite author from between the lines. If they can really do this, and are not afraid to admit their mistakes, then I think this is also a true fan, and it cannot be regarded as a violation. rule."
"The next step is everyone's favorite free question and answer session in the opening ceremony of the competition, which still adopts the rush-answer system. We will randomly select questions related to literature or film and television on the big screen, and all the audience present can input them through the personal terminal For the answer, among each question, the first three people who answer correctly can choose any contestant to ask the question. The question cannot involve privacy and can be related to myself or other authors who are not contestants."
Immediately afterwards, a very obvious virtual screen appeared above the virtual arena, showing the first question.
[In the ancient Zhanghui version of "The Ballad of Bishui", what is the real reason why Biyu killed Young Master Li? 】
Yin Lian didn't even know the answer, but in an instant, hundreds of viewers answered it correctly, and the number of correct answers continued to increase.
The host said: "Many people said it was because of the fan. The correct answer is, because Biyu discovered that Mr. Li was the real murderer of her master. The first viewers to submit the correct answers are the following... We will do it in order. Let’s start. Spectator No. 17015, who is the contestant you want to ask?”
The questioner who appeared on the screen was a young girl. She looked a little restrained, but she still said with a bit of stumbling: "I want to ask contestant No. 21."
This didn't seem to surprise any viewers or staff.
The camera shifted to Yin Lian, who smiled.
The girl asked: "I want to ask... Xiao Zhui. Do you want to prove yourself through the competition because Director Lin disparaged you?"
Yin Lian answered without hesitation: "No. I originally majored in drama, and I also registered for image licensing on the advice of my tutor. Because filming is very expensive, right? As for whether I am worthy of this face or something. , I really don’t care what others say. I don’t know Director Lin, and Director Lin doesn’t know me.”
"It's like a person who has seen the same routine too many times. When he sees similar plots in the future, he will think that it is probably the same routine. But in fact, this is the first time Director Lin knows about me, even if he has read it before Stories with similar beginnings in the 100th volume cannot be judged directly like that, and the 101st volume will not be an exception."
"For me, the hundreds and thousands of books he spent actually have nothing to do with me. That is his own life experience, not my destiny."
She smiled and winked at the girl: "If you are willing to read my story, maybe you can read about the real me. At that time, you can judge for yourself whether I am worthy of this book cover." Her fingertips lightly traced across her face, as if it was really a book cover rather than a pretty face belonging to a girl.
But the girl who asked the question had her mouth slightly opened and she was a little lost.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Trial reading of "Death Bouquet for Love"
His facial features were very three-dimensional, and his eyes were deep and affectionate. He looked at Yuan Weiwei with gentle and caressing eyes, with a hint of smile and nostalgia, and said: "Qingqing, are you awake?"
When Yuan Weiwei heard him speak like this, his expression suddenly changed. She looked around and found the large and gorgeous dressing mirror. Then she suddenly got up from the bed and rushed to the mirror.
Yuan Wei looked at himself in the mirror, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
She then turned to look at Liang Shiqing and said to him: "I'm not Qingqing... My name is Yuan Weiwei! You got the wrong person! And where is this place? Isn't this my husband's home? I should go back..."
But Liang Shiqing smiled softly and said, "No, from today on, you are Yuan Yingqing, and this is your home, and I am your husband..."
"Didn't you notice? Your skin is now so pale that there is almost no blood, and your body is as cold as a doll... Of course you may not find this easily..."
Following Liang Shiqing's words, Yuan Future finally discovered something strange about himself and showed a frightened expression.
But she heard Liang Shiqing mercilessly say a guess that made her extremely frightened: "...you are already dead."
