Chapter 107: Televised Debate

Three days later, the TV program was recorded live......

Under the introduction of the host, Dr. Tao walked up from the backstage in a grand manner, and as soon as he sat down on the sofa, he noticed a man sitting next to him, wearing a white coat and a pair of black-framed glasses.

The host continued to make an introduction: "Next, we welcome Ms. Chen Jingyi, General Manager of Fengyun Interactive and Vice President of the WCG Organizing Committee, to ......"

The words "WCG" caught Dr. Tao's attention, and his first article was a refutation of WCG, so it is natural that he will pay more attention when he hears it again. He looked backstage, and a woman who looked weak and beautiful walked up, and it seemed that the wind could blow away, and he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, this opponent looked easier to defeat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a lot of talk about games and WCGs lately, with some people thinking that these are harmful and should be banned altogether, while others think that this is not the case. To this end, our column group specially invited several guests to discuss this issue together. After the host finished the introduction, his eyes turned to the three guests present: "So who of the three will talk first?"

Dr. Tao glanced at Chen Jingyi and was satisfied to see that the other party flinched, and then he immediately signaled to the host that he wanted to speak, and his action caught Professor Yang, who was pretending to be modest, off guard, and could only watch Dr. Tao take the microphone from the host.

"Hello to the audience, my surname is Tao, and everyone usually calls me Dr. Tao, because I once went to the United States to study and obtained a doctorate...... The host just mentioned the topic of games and WCGs, and I think so, the ancients said that 'karma is good at diligence and frolic', which means that playing this thing is a waste of time...... Some people say that adults have the right to choose what kind of game to play, and I don't comment on this, but according to the latest definition, 12~18 years old is a teenager, and 18~35 years old is a youth, which means that only adults over 35 years old are considered adults...... On average, playing games for more than an hour a day is considered addictive, and more than three hours is considered heavy addiction...... Games are drugs, and the purpose of game companies is to make minors addicted to one game after another, so as to squeeze more money......" Dr. Tao briefly introduced himself, and began to talk eloquently, for today, he has made full preparations, especially the ancient texts that he is not familiar with.

At first, Dr. Tao's main targets were games and WCG, but when he saw Chen Jingyi's seemingly weak appearance, he quickly aimed his main firepower at his main competitor, Professor Yang, and the focus became who was the discoverer of "game addiction". In Dr. Tao's speech, he himself is wise and far-sighted, and he started research on game addiction very early, and he also did research in the United States, which is the most technologically advanced science and technology, and the scientific and authoritative nature of the results is beyond doubt. As for the claim of some clowns who are personally the discoverers of "game addiction", in Dr. Tao's view, it is sensationalism and blatant plagiarism of his research results.

Professor Yang originally thought that Dr. Tao was his ally, after all, the point of view was relatively close, especially about the "game addiction", and he also planned to show favor to the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to appreciate it at all, and he pointed the finger at himself without saying a few words, in this case, he could only fight back.

Dr. Tao and Professor Yang were arguing on stage, trying to explain that they were the visionary, wise and graceful guys, and they were the discoverers of "game addiction". The battle of words intensified, and the audience in the audience and in front of the television soon saw the richness of the Chinese language, as well as the comparison of the strength of some words. In the end, Dr. Tao gained the upper hand in this controversy by drinking foreign ink and obtaining the so-called research report of foreign experts, and for a while he felt quite ambitious.

Professor Yang was forced to silence, but Chen Jingyi, who had been silent, spoke at this time: "Dr. Tao heard that you are a returnee, but I didn't expect that Chinese culture is so well studied, and your understanding of games is quite deep. ”

"Everywhere, I'm just dabbling in it. Dr. Tao was very polite in his mouth, but he was very comfortable in his heart, it was obvious that his charm had conquered this woman, and if he worked harder, maybe there would be some unexpected gains.

Chen Jingyi continued: "I have a small question that I would like Dr. Tao to answer, I don't know if it is convenient for you?"

"It's okay, just ask. "Dr. Tao was very generous.

"Dr. Tao, have you ever played a computer game?" Chen Jingyi said her little question calmly with a smile on her face.

"This ......" Dr. Tao, who has been talking endlessly, suddenly got stuck, and he found that no matter how he answered, it didn't seem so good, if he said that he had played computer games, then the previous criticism of others would have become a stone to shoot himself in the foot, but if he had never played a computer game, then saying that computer games were full of violence and pornography would not have become nonsense without investigation.

After holding back for a while, Dr. Tao finally reluctantly organized what he wanted to say: "Well, I never play computer games because I need entertainment, and the reason why I play computer games is to understand their essence so that I can criticize them in depth." ”

"Oh, I see, Dr. Tao knows so much about computer games because he plays them a lot, but you're here to get to the bottom of it. So, are you addicted to games?"

"Of course not, I'm here to do research. Dr. Tao hurriedly denied that in fact, he really didn't indulge in games, except for the cards that came with the operating system or something, he had played, other games were too complicated, and they had to be installed and explored to play, as a man who wanted to defeat the game, he disdained to buy genuine games, according to him, it was a rival, so his research was more about occasionally going to Internet cafes, computer rooms and other places to see how others played.

"In other words, playing computer games for the sake of research is not an addiction, by the way, I don't know when Dr. Tao started to get into computer games?"

"Well, I'm ......" Dr. Tao was a little embarrassed again, he just turned forty this year, according to his own theory, he should only be able to play games for five years, but in order to enhance his persuasion, he has claimed to have four or five hundred games, and they have all done in-depth research, which is a bit difficult to round.

Seeing that Dr. Tao couldn't say a complete sentence, Chen Jingyi smiled softly and said, "Since Dr. Tao can't figure it out for a while, I'll help you do the math." ”

"I have an investigation report made by an authoritative organization here," Chen Jingyi took out a thin piece of information from her handbag, opened it for the camera to capture for a while, and then continued: "Through the investigation, it has been shown that if you want to fully understand a game, the usual process is 12~16 hours, and some role-playing games may take longer. Note that when we say 'a complete understanding of a game', we mean every part of the game design, just like the in-depth research that Dr. Tao did. Now let's calculate how long it takes Dr. Tao to research 400 games, and according to the average data, it takes 5,600 hours to study all 400 games. Heck, Dr. Tao, if you started doing research five years ago, you would have been playing games for more than three hours a day on average, so you're addicted to it!"

The audience burst into laughter, and the players sitting in front of the TV couldn't help but laugh for a while, a guy who talks bad about games all day long is actually a heavy addict, and the so-called "game addiction", what could be funnier than this.

The laughter from the audience made Dr. Tao sit on pins and needles, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to repeat what he had said before in an embarrassed and pale manner: "I spent so much time playing games for the sake of research......"

"Dr. Tao, you have to be careful, according to you, being addicted to games is the same as taking drugs, in case you can't quit, fortunately, there is Professor Yang, I heard that he can treat 'game addiction' there, or you should take a business card and keep it. Chen Jingyi's tone of voice was very flat, but to Dr. Tao, it was like stabbing him in the heart with a knife, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

And Professor Yang, who was deflated by Dr. Tao's mouth before, trembled suddenly, made a hearty appearance, and really took out a business card and handed it over: "Dr. Tao, I have a business card here, you are welcome to come at any time." ”

Dr. Tao took the business card embarrassedly, stuffed it into his pocket without looking at it, looked at Professor Yang with burning eyes, and muttered in his heart wishing the other party a speedy meal, but he didn't expect his wish to come true immediately.

The guy who grabbed the business was dumbfounded, Professor Yang was very proud, although it was a fake hand, but he was already very happy to see the annoying guy eating deflated, he cleared his throat, and planned to take the opportunity to advertise for his "game addiction" treatment center.

At this moment, Chen Jingyi spoke again: "Professor Yang, I heard that you are in a mental hospital in Linyi, Shandong. ”

"yes. Professor Yang replied instinctively, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart, the other party's statement was reasonable, but it was too easy for people to misunderstand, and those who knew understood that he was a doctor, in case they encountered something unreasonable, don't misunderstand, thinking of this, he quickly explained: "I am a doctor there." ”

"Professor Yang, I heard that your 'game addiction' treatment center uses electroshock therapy to help people quit?" Chen Jingyi asked again.

"Yes, this method is very effective, and there have been several successful cases of treatment in my area. Professor Yang said as he took out a stack of materials from his bag and opened them one by one in front of the camera: "You see, these were all brought home by their parents last week, and they are no longer addicted to games. ”

"I think you may be curious about what electroshock therapy is, I just have a video here, which was filmed by a friend at Professor Yang's treatment center. Chen Jingyi looked at the audience, the smile on her face slowly retracted, and with a serious face, she took out a disc in a transparent box from her handbag, handed it to the host next to her, and said, "Can you please help play it." ”

The host nodded understandingly, got up and handed over the disc to the staff standing next to the stage, then returned to his seat and sat down, saying, "So, let's take a look at what kind of video Ms. Chen provided and what Professor Yang's electroshock therapy is like?"

At the moment when Chen Jingyi took out the CD, Professor Yang's heart swelled with strong unease, he knew what his treatment center was like, and it was still okay to fool some parents, but it was difficult to say the result if he had to take it to the TV station to show it, but now that the arrow had to be released, he couldn't stop it anymore, so he could only resign himself to fate, hoping that the video would not be too bad.

Soon there was a picture on the big screen TV in the TV studio, it was a door, a door with only the number 13 written on it, although the door was closed, but from inside there was a faint roaring sound, and the voiceover was making an introduction: "According to insiders, this is the core area of Professor Yang's 'game addiction' treatment center, and inside this door is the so-called treatment center, according to the children who are locked up here, when they just come in or make a mistake, they will be sent here for treatment." So let's go in and see how the so-called treatment works. ”

The camera slowly moved and approached the door marked No. 13, and as the door was pushed open, a terrible scream was heard, and many viewers on the scene and in front of the TV were startled, and some of the timid felt like their hearts were about to jump out. The lens continues to move forward, and the light inside is a little darker than outside, perhaps because the performance of the equipment used for shooting is very good, and the clarity of the picture has not decreased too much, which does not affect everyone to continue watching.

As the camera continues to advance, the scene in the room can be clearly seen, a girl who looks fifteen or sixteen years old is lying on a treatment bed, her hands and feet are only tied to the bed, and a small piece of white gauze is padded to her forehead. There were a few children in hospital gowns who also looked like teenagers, and there were two staff members in white coats, one was sorting something on the side, and the other was sitting at the head of the treatment bed, holding a pair of things that looked like electrodes, which was Professor Yang himself.

Professor Yang gently touched the two temples of the girl with the electrodes in his hand, and the girl who was tied to the bed writhed her body in vain, and let out a miserable scream, and begged for mercy again and again: "Uncomfortable, uncomfortable to death, doctor, let me go!"

"You have a gaming addiction, so it's uncomfortable, and you have to cooperate with me to get treatment. With a smile on his face, Professor Yang began to give psychological guidance: "Tell me, what's your name?"

The electrodes had already left the temples, the temporary discomfort disappeared, and the girl's attitude became tough again: "I don't want to tell you, I'm leaving this place,......"

Professor Yang's smile became even brighter, he shook the electrodes in his hand, and said, "It seems that you are a little forgetful, okay, I'll tell you about our rules again." Our treatment is done for 6 hours at a time, 60 times per minute, 3,600 times per hour, do the math yourself, how many times do you do it in 6 hours?"

"21600 times. The girl muttered, she knew that this was a deterrent to herself, and from what she had just experienced, she thought that there must be no one in this world who could withstand so many times, and those who could survive a dozen times were considered heroes.

"More than 20,000 times, if you don't recognize your mistakes, I'll keep doing it. As he spoke, Professor Yang gently touched the electrodes on the girl's temples.

An indescribable pain struck again, the girl felt as if her temple had been pierced by a sweater needle, her body twitched slightly, tears flowed uncontrollably down the corners of her eyes, it was impossible to tell if it was because of the stimulation of the electric current, or because she felt her future tragic fate.

At this time, Professor Yang seemed to notice that someone had broken in, raised his head and waved his hand dissatisfiedly: "Go out, don't you see that treatment is being done here!"

"You're Professor Yang, I just wanted to ask. The voiceover said.

Professor Yang's face immediately softened a lot, but perhaps considering that the current scene was not suitable for too many people to see, he still waved his hand: "You go out first, if you want to ask something, you can go to the consultation room first, I will go over later." ”

"Okay. After the voiceover finished speaking, he took a few steps forward, seemingly inadvertently, and the camera just took in the treatment equipment connected to the electrodes, and then the camera shook and walked out.

The picture returns to the outside gate 13, and the bright sunlight makes people inadvertently feel like they are separated from the world, and then the voiceover begins to introduce again: "I have a strange feeling that what I just entered is not a treatment room, but a punishment room, a place dedicated to the children who are held here. I have seen documentary literature about underground workers before liberation, and the cruel punishments mentioned in them include electrocution, and I feel that what I see today seems to be the same. I don't know what the parents who send their children here think, maybe they don't know what their children are going to happen here, but I would like to appeal to them not to send their children to this kind of place so that they don't leave a psychological shadow......"

The picture on the big screen slowly solidified, and many sensitive people in the audience couldn't help but sobbed softly, as did many viewers in front of the TV, maybe some people also hated games, but after seeing the truth of the so-called electroshock therapy, there were only two words left in their hearts to describe, that is, "beasts".

The studio was full of excitement for a while, if it weren't for the host and on-site staff to come forward to appease them, maybe the show wouldn't have been filmed. Professor Yang sat on the chair with a pale face, feeling remorseful in his heart, it was obvious that the other party was prepared, he knew that he would not come to the show, and he thought that he could take the opportunity to make a free advertisement for his treatment center, but it turned out that stealing chickens would not be a handful of rice, and the treatment center would not be able to open.

"Damn thief, let you rob me of my chance, now I can't do it!" Dr. Tao, who looked like he was bowing his head, was as happy as he wanted at the moment, he looked up at Professor Yang who was slumped in his chair, and thought proudly: "Hmph, look at how you will rob me of business in the future." ”

Looking at Professor Yang's predicament at the moment, Dr. Tao couldn't help but secretly rejoice, he also prepared a "game addiction" treatment center, he had the foresight to choose unreliable physical therapy, he thought that the method was too risky, or through conversation guidance is much safer, although slow is a little slow, but at least there will be no big problems. It's a pity that he didn't last long, and soon became the focus of everyone's attention again.

Dr. Tao, who was thinking about his thoughts, suddenly heard laughter from the audience, and it seemed that many people were pointing at him, and in confusion, he instinctively turned around to look at the large-screen TV behind him, but he didn't expect to see a picture that surprised him. It seemed to be on the street near a computer city, a man in a white shirt and a hawker-like man squatted on the ground, as if haggling, the camera shot from a clever angle, just enough to see most of the face of the man in the white shirt, and people could recognize Tao at a glance.

After looking at the picture for a while, Dr. Tao suddenly remembered that this was when he went to "research" a few days ago, in order to collect more information about the game, he patronized the pirated disc vendor who had been to a few times before, and was ready to buy a few pirated VCDs that were strong enough, and came back with the names of some games, so that they could be used on the materials, but he didn't expect to be photographed.

"Boss, don't worry, this is definitely the latest disc, there are both Oriental and Western discs, two or three of them, and there are no ......replacements," the vendor enthusiastically sells the special disc in a plastic sleeve.

"It's so expensive, it's cheaper, I've bought several at a time, and it's not the first time. The man in the white shirt squatted on the ground and bargained hard.

……

"Okay, okay, three dollars less, this is already the lowest price, it can't be less. The peddler said smugly.

"Hehe, the money is collected. The man in the white shirt handed over the banknote in his hand, took the disc handed over by the vendor, then took out the prepared paper and pen, and said, "Well, lend me the game disc to see, and I'll copy a few more names......"

The audience in the audience had different expressions for a while, the men looked at Dr. Tao who was skilled at repaying the price on the screen, and most of them showed an expression of understanding on their faces, it seems that this doctor is still a mortal who eats color, and most of the women looked at Dr. Tao on the stage with contempt, and in their hearts they had already classified it into a category with Professor Yang next to him - "beasts".

Since then, the direction of the program has completely deviated from the assumptions of Dr. Tao and Professor Yang, and one blow after another has followed, one will be the person who has received the so-called treatment in Professor Yang's treatment center to complain, and the other will be Dr. Tao's so-called academic qualifications are exposed to be Pheasant University, and his so-called study experience is also inconsistent with the truth. Then, several specially invited experts came to the scene and objectively introduced to everyone what "addiction" is and what the so-called "game addiction" is, which can be regarded as a solution for the ignorant people.

Finally, Chen Jingyi summed up this live drama with her own summary: "...... Games are not a flood of beasts, just like the TV that people often watch and listen to...... The China Game Industry Association and Fengyun Interactive have long noticed the age of the game, so they have put forward the game classification standard as early as the year before last, that is, the common game age tips on genuine games, as long as you buy genuine games, you can judge which age group is suitable for people to play according to the age tips on the package...... As long as parents understand the game, understand the age-appropriate tips of the game, and support the genuine version to stay away from piracy, then the games that children play will not have content that is not suitable for them, and at the same time, the game's built-in parental guidance system can limit the time children play the game......"

In short, according to Chen Jingyi, as long as you buy a game that is regularly published and has age-appropriate tips, then the problem of parents' addiction to games is not completely impossible to solve, and the experts on the scene have also supported it, as long as you communicate with your children more and find ways to meet their psychological shortcomings, then children will not always be immersed in games.

So under the skillful operation of Chen Jingyi, the fantasy promotion meeting of Dr. Tao and Professor Yang turned into a criticism meeting for the two of them, and by the way, they also made a promotion for the game classification standard, and more viewers also remembered the signboard of Fengyun Interactive and WCG in the process.

"However, there were minors participating in the WCG tournament this time. Unwilling to fail, Dr. Tao threw out his killer idea, he wanted to see what else this sharp-toothed woman could do this time.

"Oh, I don't know which one Dr. Tao is talking about?" Chen Jingyi said unhurriedly, she was not panicked at all with all the preparations.

"That ......" Dr. Tao thought for a moment, and he remembered that the person he stopped and asked that day seemed to be from Chongqing: "Guo Bin from Chongqing, he has just turned sixteen years old now. ”

Dr. Tao looked triumphant, but he didn't expect Chen Jingyi to be not panicked at all, he took out a piece of paper from his bag, shook it in front of the camera, and said: "Guo Bin, I remember, he is 84 years old, and he is not yet an adult. However, this time he had the consent of his guardian. Look, this is the consent letter signed by Guo Bin's mother, which means that Guo Bin's participation in this WCG is supported by his family. ”

Dr. Tao was really speechless this time, there was a situation that he didn't know in advance, and the cautious Zhang Le's behavior to avoid any accidents added a special article in the WCG's charter, minors must have a consent letter signed by their guardians to participate in the WCG, but I didn't expect it to really work.

Dr. Tao, who no longer had hole cards, slumped in his chair, he glanced at the pale Professor Yang, and a feeling of sympathy suddenly surged in his heart, but now he could only sigh helplessly, waiting for the end of the show, anyway, if they left the scene early, the result of the two of them would not be much better.
