Chapter 55: The Dying Struggle of the Passing Star
In the office, Yao Cheng's fingers flew and tapped on the keyboard, and his extremely fast hand speed like a wild bee flying allowed him to present the thoughts and words in his mind on the document on the computer monitor in a very short time.
Writing a manuscript has always been a thankless task, but it's fine if it's a traditional writer, who tend to be skilled and like to pick out details. For example, the simple actions of a character in a book can arouse their rich associations, and a historical site that can't see anything can always make them feel a sense of the long years of history, nostalgic for the past and the present.
Pure literature, the personal literary literacy and accumulation to be a little more harsh, often famous writers have reached middle age, but it is undeniable that there are some literary works, can give people enlightenment and shock from the heart, enough to reminisce again and again.
Of course, not everyone can become a traditional writer, Yao Cheng graduated from the Chinese Department of Beijing University, and was already the pen of the Beijing University Student Newspaper during his time in school, often publishing articles in the school newspaper, plus he often submitted articles to various newspapers and magazines, although there were not many articles accepted.
But Yao Cheng is still a little confident in his pen power, and now that he has become an entertainment editor, in a word, writing is the most useless thing.
First of all, he is not the editor of a traditional literary magazine, he just needs to look for the bright spots of the news and then state them in a straightforward introduction.
At most, it is appropriate polishing, and for a successful entertainment editor, it must be a five-cent title party, and the content must be three points true, seven points nonsense, and it must be able to say that the black is white and the white is black.
As for the reserve and discipline of the literati, Yao Cheng fed these things to the dogs as early as two years after working, what is the use of them?
This is also the general trend of the development of journalism today, the uncrowned king, and the guide of public opinion. You will know what you want to know, and you can only see the tip of the iceberg if you don't want you to know.
And a large part of the domestic group of people use a polite word to describe it, that is, "foolish people", coupled with the characteristics of the group, they will infect their stupidity to others, which is called "herd mentality" in psychology.
This is a very terrible social group phenomenon, and it is also extremely popular, such as the habit of onlookers, such as supermarket discounts, free experience, one person, several people to rob, it will trigger countless people to rob the incident. There is also today's money worship, once it becomes popular, it has suddenly become the life creed and norm of most people.
And for a person who really has thoughts and beliefs, you can see the truth only if you don't listen partially, don't believe partially, and look at the world with a verifiable eye.
And for this ability, most people do not have, obviously gossip and gossip are the most convincing, and then many people think they have the truth that only a few people know.
Yao Cheng also understands the psychological characteristics and thoughts of the audience of entertainment news, and you often calmly state a fact that they are not interested in it, or even interested in clicking on the title.
What is an eyeball? It is just a few words that can grasp the psychology of the audience, satisfy their curiosity, thirst for knowledge, don't talk to them about the truth, what big truths, they are paranoid that they just want to understand the world in their eyes.
For example, the media is now beautifying Japan and the United States, with the former becoming a state of etiquette and the latter becoming a world policeman for maintaining world peace.
The Japanese are all good people, and the United States is paradise, and if you turn out history and tell them about it, you will be drowned by the saliva of countless keyboard warriors.
Why? Isn't it because of the cultural invasion and media packaging? Let some people forget their scars, forget the pain at the beginning, don't think about danger in peace, and kneel and lick the alien race without a bottom line.
As for the national integrity, national honor and disgrace, they will only understand some things when the army of other people drives to our land and hits the doorstep.
Understanding how hard-won the prosperity and strength of countries are, and how the sinister intentions of some countries make people's scalps tingle, many people actually don't know, they think that the world is so peaceful and harmonious in the first place.
I don't know the current general situation and situation in the world at all, and I always brainlessly complain about how weak and ineffective my country's party and government organs are, and then turn around and brag about what kind of foreign countries are.
This kind of small people's thinking, the inferiority of foolish people, exists in the minds of many people, can you blame them? It can only be said that many people don't actually understand the world, but they like to tell others that the world they see is like this.
In the eyes of some wise people, this can only be a shallow insight that adds to the joke, and there is not even any interest in refuting it, only to send a sentence, and you are happy.
Yao Cheng looked at his article, the content has been revised several times, and it can basically be published directly, but this title really makes people want to break their heads.
What kind of title should I come up with?
Chinese actor captures European and American diva Taylor Swift?
Or is Taylor's new boyfriend exposed, this person turned out to be Chinese?
Yao Cheng shook his head and shot these two titles directly, which is eye-catching at all, and it is completely inconsistent with the discipline of an entertainment editor.
After pondering for a long time, he patted his head and typed out a line at the top of the document.
[Eye-popping! Taylor Swift's new love is him?! The dying throes of an out-of-fashion male star! 】
Looking at this title, Yao Cheng grinned, after making the last revision, the manuscript was finalized, and now it is waiting for the review of the editor-in-chief, and it happens to be released before ten o'clock.
The process was not very long, and at half past nine in the morning, the first column of the front page of Toutiao.com appeared with the above headline.
The click-through rate unexpectedly rose, and soon the headquarters of Toutiao.com exploded.
"Boss, the machine room has blown up!" Someone said with a nervous face.
"What blew up?"
"The server is down, a large area down...... The traffic is too much. Someone muttered.
"Then don't you hurry up and maintain it!" Under a roar, almost everyone in the technical department of Toutiao.com was anxious.
Fortunately, there were only a dozen or so servers that had problems, and all of them were maintained after 20 minutes.
"Boss, the backstage traffic is too large, and millions of people are ...... a minute," said a bespectacled tech nerd with a mouthful of saliva.
"Evil Gate, how can there be such a large amount of traffic? Could it be a malicious attack? The boss asked with a frown.
"It's not like it, the IPs of these traffic are all over the country, and it is impossible for any hacker organization in China to make so many "broilers" to attack our ......."
"So today is the evil spirit? Why is there so much traffic? The Boss muttered.
The tech nerd clicked to the headline and pointed to the top report and said, "I think it's because of this." ”
The boss glanced at it, "! Who is Taylor dating again? Hurry up and click on it, I want to see which guy is the one who took the shit luck! With an angry face, everyone covered their faces helplessly.
However, it is also conceivable that with Taylor's fame in China, this report is still quite eye-catching, and it has been reprinted by major portals in a short period of time, and because of some mechanism reasons, the traffic of these reprinted websites will pour into the main page of Toutiao.com.
Then there was a sudden server crash, and the aftermath of the news was brewing.
