Chapter 455: Rules and Reason

& The day after the live broadcast, the Shencheng Evening News published a review article again on the style page - ⊙,

This commentary article, entitled "Rules and Reason", was signed and published by Mr. Zhiqiu, a well-known commentator of the evening newspaper. Those who know Zhiqiu as a commentator will know that Zhiqiu is the pen name of Niu Dashan, the editor-in-chief of the "Shencheng Evening News". The editor-in-chief went out to write a review article on entertainment himself, which is a bit intriguing.

The article is open and honest, and it quickly makes clear its own opinions.

The article uses sentences such as "Although there is a certain factual basis, the discussion point obviously lacks investigation, does not really dig out the inherent content of the news, and loses the fairness of the review article" to comment on the article about the contestant Ye Zi in the previous two days. The article also used such harsh language as "wantonly implicating and framing, which is a loss of the journalist's foundation" to comment on the report of the TV station program group in the article two days ago.

As soon as these two comments came out, it was equivalent to "Shencheng Evening News" responding positively to last night's live broadcast and making an apology gesture.

This is an extremely rare thing!

Having a major newspaper like the Shencheng Evening Post bow its head and apologize is something that has never happened before. Even if such an apology is mixed in the article, borrowed from the mouth of a commentator, and not directly apologized in person, this is a great achievement!

The program team and Ye Zi are considered to have set a precedent.

However, since Niu Dashan is the editor-in-chief of the evening newspaper, of course, he is not just here to apologize, he has his own ideas and plans. Although the evening newspaper did a stupid thing this time, being used as a gun to injure friendly soldiers by mistake, Niu Dashan hopes to learn from last night's live broadcast method and turn a bad thing into a good thing.

This article is a test for him.

After commenting on the misinformation reported in the previous two days, the article focused on the words rules and reason. The focus is the fact that Ye Zi did not participate in the training camp of the previous players.

Of course, Niu Dashan didn't come to contradict Ye Zi and the Shencheng audience. Now that the trend is that he is sailing against the current, it will not achieve any good results, but will deepen the audience's dangerous perception that the evening newspaper report is not true, which will not be worth the loss.

The article just lays out this fact first, and then the pen turns.

"But after watching last night's livestream. I believe that every viewer will be like me, fully agree with the reasons why Ye Zi did not participate in the previous stage of the player training camp, and these reasons are completely defensible. Even the last two days seem to be "reckless" This kind of practice, (please forgive me for saying this,) this is also understandable. As a man and a husband, I raise my hands to support Ye Zi's choice. ”

With such a tone of approval, it is easy to say that the following discussion is easy to say.

The article said, "We live in this world, and it will definitely not work without the constraints of rules, and then the operation of the whole society will be troubled." As a result, the possibility of continuing to move forward and develop at a higher level is lost. However, after last night's live broadcast, I can't help but ask, is this world, this society, only rules are the only pass? ”

After asking questions, the article gives its own answer.

"Obviously not, at least that's not comprehensive."

"In a broad sense, rules are indeed supreme, and nothing can be above them. Note, however, that I am referring to a broad conclusion. It is an abstract conclusion. When it comes to specific events, the role of rules is of course obvious. But it's no longer a discount that can't be played at all. ”

"We can clearly see this from this incident of Ye Zi."

"If the rules are strictly followed, Ye Zi is 'guilty'. Even if he was really busy with something in the previous week or so, he had asked the program team for leave, which was for a reason, so in the last two days, he deliberately hid and did not participate in the training camp, which itself violated the rules set by the "Campus Top Ten Singers Selection". He deserves to be punished. ”

"But everyone knows that Ye Zi will not be punished in any way, otherwise our audience will be collectively dissatisfied. So why is that? ”

"That's the power of reason."

"What Ye Zi did violated the rules set by the event in a big way, but his behavior was in line with people's hearts. That's why last night's livestream was so sensational, and that's exactly what I criticized at the beginning of the article for not digging into the true meaning of the news. As a journalist, we must learn to see through the appearance of things and see the true connotation of things, which is the attitude and concept that a competent journalist should uphold. ”

"Starting from this matter, we can diverge our thinking and think about it, is it true that the rules are immutable and unshakable? I don't think so. ”

"What we are talking about now is not a scientific axiom like 1+1=2, which is unchangeable unless we change a universe, or change the way it operates. We are now talking about some rules in the sociological sense, which are not axioms that can never be changed or reversed. ”

"Just a hundred years ago, imperial power was still an unshakable supreme rule, but now? Imperial power is already a thing of the past, gone forever, if anyone says that the supremacy of imperial power is the rule of our Chinese people, anyone will spit on him. ”

"Rules in the sociological sense, in my opinion, are nothing more than a collective embodiment of reason, with the development of society and the progress of the times, many rules must follow the development and progress in order to continue to improve themselves."

"That's all I want to say."

The article is not long, and it ends directly.

Such a commentary article, which was less than 1,000 words, immediately caused a sensation after it was published in the stylistic section of the "Shencheng Evening News."

This article directly brings two unusually obvious results.

First, the influence of Ye Zi and the program "Campus Top Ten Singers Selection" has spread on a wider level. If the live broadcast of the previous day was adding fuel to the fire, then this article is blowing another gust of wind on the basis of pouring oil, and the fire is burning more and more vigorously by the wind.

In this regard, Ye Zi and the program team are extremely satisfied.

Ye Zi's first solo album will be fully released next month, and now anything that will help the album release is what Ye Zi needs, not to mention such a good thing. Ye Zi is never worried that he is on the cusp, he is a singer, as long as it is not a pure negative influence, fame and popularity are good things that he urgently needs, the more popularity, the better, the greater the fame, the better. At this point, there is no bottom line for Ye Zi, the more the merrier.

Of course, the program team is more satisfied.

is completely consistent with Ye Zi's thoughts, any behavior that helps to increase the attention of the last ten-strong battle this Sunday, the program team will welcome this move with both hands. For the program team, this is the cornerstone of the successful completion of the last live broadcast. The more you accumulate and the more attention you have, the better the final result will be, and that's obvious.

Second, in addition to helping Ye Zi and the program team, this article also set off a vigorous discussion in the academic circles of Shencheng.

Niu Dashan's article is not logically rigorous, and there are many loopholes in the process of reasoning and argumentation, but the point he put forward is indeed a very novel argument, which has attracted the attention of academics, especially sociology experts.

Subsequently, including the "Shencheng Evening News", which triggered the discussion, many newspapers and periodicals in Shencheng participated in this big discussion of "rules and reasonableness". Of course, this is a mutual debate between the public saying that the public is justified and the mother-in-law saying that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and no one can really convince the other party.

This discussion even attracted the attention of some departments in the department and vice chair, but fortunately the scope of the discussion was not out of line, so it only attracted some attention.

Because of the publication of this article, "Shencheng Evening News" got out of the quagmire of the "Ye Zi Incident" in a timely manner, and because it led this academic discussion, the weight of "Shencheng Evening News" in the hearts of Shencheng scholars is much more important than before.

Niu Dashan fought a very beautiful battle of sight shifting, successfully maintaining and improving the reputation of the evening newspaper.

This editor-in-chief really has some real material! (To be continued.) )
