"Sure enough, really what?" Feng Jianxiong was a little confused for a while.

After all, he was still discussing problems with Mr. Qiu a moment ago, immersed in his own world.

Yu Meiqin roughly explained: "Last night, the student union of the school just notified Weng Dechen that the next semi-final debate between our college and the new mission institute is 'whether the benefits of free strategy for the prosperity and spread of Internet culture outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages', and the competition time is next week, the last day before the November holiday."

Weng Dechen didn't even notify me at the first time, but only informed Chen Sicong and Fu Yiming. It was only when I took the initiative to ask him in class early in the morning that he told me about it. ”

There were a few more words, which Yu Meiqin did not say.

That is, after Weng Dechen informed her of the debate, he also gently persuaded her that "the affairs of the new academy journal will be busy until after the National Day, and the semi-finals should be handed over to a few of them to deal with."

These words are her private affairs, so there is no need to say them to Feng Jianxiong. , but she also figured out Weng Dechen's mentality: Weng Dechen felt that the battle with Xinchuan Yuan was more auspicious, so it was better to leave it to Feng Jianxiong to play, and if he won, he would pick peaches, and if he lost, he would fall into the well.

Yu Meiqin's inner disdain unconsciously added another point. She decided to ignore Weng Dechen's dissuasion, and she must win the new mission with Feng Jianxiong, so she rushed to inform Feng Jianxiong of the debate as soon as possible.

Although Feng Jianxiong was full of thoughts about going to Professor Liu Yuanming to talk about business, Yu Meiqin came to the door, and he quickly entered the state.

It's called dedication, the dedication of a barrister and a troll.

He pondered: "The debate question is, 'Does the free strategy do more harm than harm or do more harm than good for the prosperity and spread of Internet culture?' It's so long, it's complicated, and it doesn't seem to have happened in any of the top competitions before, right?"

Yu Meiqin replied with certainty: "No, it has never appeared in the International Collegiate Debating Tournament or other top competitions in previous years. I have already learned that it is the new topic of the proposition group of the school organizing committee. ”

Feng Jianxiong couldn't help but be a little surprised: "New propositions? Is the proposition group so empty? Didn't it say in previous years that it was necessary to go at least to the semi-finals to ensure that the new questions were used?

Feng Jianxiong's surprise is very normal, because anyone who knows a little bit about debate competitions knows that evenly matched debate topics are not so easy to come up with.

If there is no repeated rehearsal game within the proposition group, and finally it is used to appear one-sided, then the audience will complain about the incompetence of the proposition group: actually ordered this kind of spicy chicken topic that is obviously beneficial to the positive/negative side!

Therefore, in previous years, the proposition group only came up with new questions in the last three major games, that is, two semi-finals and one finals.

Fortunately, Yu Meiqin quickly solved Feng Jianxiong's doubts: "This year, there are people from the first department of the New Mission School in the organizing committee and the proposition group. Moreover, they lobbied the organizing committee, saying that some topics that are closely related to current affairs and industry context should be added.

In the past two years, the development of Internet new media has been very rapid, and this year just came out of the free self-media such as Sina blog, and Zhou Hongyi, who rode the tiger, is also preparing free security software 360 security guard, listening to the news in the circle, and it will be launched in a few months.

The organizing committee felt that the two sets of conflicts of interest of 'culture', 'communication', 'copyright', and 'innovation' were very suitable for the debate between those engaged in the media and those engaged in law, so they brought this topic to us in advance and used it in the duel with the New Academy of Communication—and if we hadn't won the Academy of Mathematical Sciences yesterday, and the New Academy of Communication had previously lost and became the second in the group, the showdown between the two institutes would not have been staged so quickly. ”

Hearing such an explanation, Feng Jianxiong immediately understood.

This topic has been developed for a long time, and it may have been intended as the topic of the semi-finals in the first half of the region.

Because the New Mission Academy was basically able to reach the semi-finals most of the time in previous years, but this year, there are more people in the organizing committee, and the power of the New Mission Academy is inflated, so I want to push it behind when the semi-finals enter the finals, so I ordered a topic that is particularly suitable for people who are engaged in media.

Of course, if the new mission academy does not reach the semi-finals, then they have nothing to lose in this preparation.

Now because the news and law factions collided early, and the law school looked strong in the last game, with a master in charge. The lobbying forces within the organizing committee came ahead on the grounds that "this topic is particularly suitable for debates between those studying the news media and those studying law."

With this understanding as a foundation, Feng Jianxiong immediately made a judgment: "The number of words in this topic is so long, it seems that it has obviously made a lot of balance to the square." If the title dares to say 'the pros and cons of piracy on the innovation of Internet cultural communication', then there is basically no need to argue, and the positive side will definitely lose, because piracy is definitely wrong.

However, if 'piracy' is changed to a 'free strategy' proposed by content operators, it will not violate the law, and with the popularity of new media, free software and shareware this year, the positive side can have a slight advantage. ”

He thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Is the result of the draw of lots for the pros and cons come out?"

Yu Meiqin said with certainty: "It's out, but it's not a lottery - before the draw, the organizing committee asked Weng Dechen and the team leader of the Xinchuan Academy if they had any ideas for claiming the debate and whether they could reach an agreement." Weng Dechen took the initiative to draw the opposite side, and the new mission institute took the initiative to draw the positive side. ”

Feng Jianxiong nodded, not surprised by this result.

Most of the time, the debate is decided by drawing lots, mainly to show fairness, so as not to be told by onlookers and contestants that 'the debate itself is unfair, and one of the teams is determined to debate the side that is easy to argue'.

However, there is an exception, and that is that the two sides themselves have formed a consensus on which side of the view is mutually pleasing to the public.

That is, one party takes the initiative to defend the positive side, and the other party takes the initiative to defend the opposing party.

At this time, since both parties think that they have not suffered a loss, they can of course agree with them.

As for the choice of Weng Dechen and the leader of the New Mission Academy, Feng Jianxiong is also completely understandable: free is conducive to communication, and it is obviously a very suitable angle for people engaged in media. And free is not conducive to dissemination, and it is obviously more of an appetite for law students who stare at the problem of piracy and copyright every day.

If you really fall down, everyone has to use each other's professional thinking to consider the problem, but they will be constrained.

Seeing that Feng Jianxiong was still pondering alone, Yu Meiqin couldn't wait a little and asked, "Then are you free for the weekend?" If you have time, we will rehearse first, and we can be free this afternoon. I think this is a good topic, and we can't do it if we don't prepare well! I think this is enough for me to pay Yiming, you, me, Shi Nicole, Chen Sicong, and four people will be enough. ”

"Then it's the weekend, I still have something to do today, and I have a few questions to ask Professor Liu, so I'll miss the company first. Feng Jianxiong said apologetically and was ready to busy himself first.

Yu Meiqin was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything.

Bai Jing, who had always been following Yu Meiqin with no sense of existence, was relieved when she saw this, and secretly thought to herself in her heart: "Fortunately, that wood is also incomprehensible." How can you make your sister like a man!"
