Chapter 99: What a Strange Debate!
The format was confirmed, and the composition of the teams was confirmed.
All the debaters were assigned to four teams according to their strength and team leader's style, ensuring that each team had a better balance of strength, and that each team had a different role.
For example, in the same team, there must be a knowledgeable debater, a comedy who can shake the burden, a good-looking appearance who is suitable for shooting commercials, and a weird guy with a prominent personality......
"There are so many players, I don't feel like I know each other. However, the old viewers who watched the first season should know these people, right? Zhu Yang was curious.
Zhong Ming explained: "Most of these contestants are old people from the first season, but there are also a group of newcomers in the debate world who are newly invited by Luo Mingjie. In fact, I originally wanted to do a draft session, which was decided through a knockout round, and then let the captains compete for talent. But the time was too tight and it was too late, so this relatively blunt method was adopted, and the players were directly assigned to each team. ”
Zhang Xiaowen suddenly said: "I see, I said that there is something less, there must indeed be a draft link, which is more foreshadowing, and may give people a more natural feeling." But it's okay for now, if you don't tell me, I'll probably forget about it soon. ”
Soon, after the previous foreshadowing session, the program is about to enter today's debate.
Although the changes are quite large, the first reaction of most viewers is not that they feel very new, but that they are a little confused.
How can you argue with this layout?
In the past, it was the standard layout of the debate competition, with a row of tables on the left and a row of tables on the right, divided into one, two, three, and four debates, and then a host sat in the middle......
But now the layout has changed, there are only three people on one side, and there is a small table next to each of the three people's seats, on which you can lie down and write, but the overall style is completely different from the serious feeling of the debate, a bit like a talk show.
Moreover, there is a large space in the center of the field, and there are two separation belts, which means that the players should stand up and say when they speak, and they can move around at will, but they cannot cross the separation belt. There is also a special platform in the center of the venue, which is said to be used for "opening the bar", that is, for free debate, but the name is "open bar", and it instantly becomes grounded.
Luo Mingjie briefly introduced the teams on both sides, the opening match today is the Xuehai team and the Lexiang team, the Xuehai team will be on the first game, this is also the result of Zhong Ming's special care, after all, the other three sponsors are not as urgent as Zhong Ming's side of the publicity needs, and Luo Mingjie is also very grateful to Zhong Ming for his help, this kind of small help is naturally handy.
"Okay, after introducing the teams and contestants on both sides, let's watch a short video together to understand today's debate."
This is a short film filmed in advance, which is also performed by some debaters who like to act, and all kinds of costumes and props are also very simple, highlighting a "compromise with funds".
An old-fashioned television set appears in the video, showing a sense of age alienation, with rustling snowflakes on the TV, and then a figure in a white lab coat dressed as a doctor, and the appearance is comical.
This is a cameo appearance by a debater who did not appear on the scene, and as soon as he appeared, it caused a lot of laughter in the scene.
"Hello audience friends, I am Dr. Black Technology, and I am very honored to announce to you that I have successfully developed a super top technology! I boldly predict that this will be a great miracle! ”
"As long as a chip is implanted in everyone's brain, all our recorded knowledge can be shared with all mankind in a second! And, as soon as new results come out, the knowledge base in our minds will be updated at the same time! In this way, you can understand everything without studying! With it, ignorance and ignorance will be gone, and the future of humanity will be limitless! ”
"Of course, there are also many objections that this technology is encouraging unearned gains, and if you can enjoy the fruits of other people's hard work while sitting at home, then who wants to pay so much to study our world?"
"So, may I ask you, if you can make all human brains share knowledge for a second, do you support it?"
The short film ended, and a bunch of question marks instantly floated on the barrage.
"? What the hell is this debate! ”
"It's, it's still a second of knowledge sharing, what kind of Zenith technology is this!"
"This argument doesn't feel realistic."
"I think it's funny, I want to hear what this group of people have to say!"
The audience reacted heavily, but overall, they were shocked.
Because the style of this debate is completely different from the first season! The debate topics in the first season often focus on real topics, such as "whether pressure is conducive to success", "whether delayed justice is justice", etc., all of which focus on social and people's livelihood and reflect real problems, which can be said to be more serious and heavy.
But the debate topic in the first issue of the second season took a big turn, and in the eyes of many viewers, this is a strange debate, right? First of all, it is basically impossible for this technology to be invented, and even if it is invented, it will not be hundreds of years later; Secondly, what is the point of discussing this topic? It can't have any guiding effect on reality!
But it also has the advantage that everyone's expectations for the show are raised all of a sudden, and many people want to hear what these professional debaters can say when they are faced with this kind of problem that seems to be a bit "deliberately difficult"?
Zhong Ming looked at the barrage full of screens and smiled without saying a word, obviously, the barrage audience was the same as the audience, and they were mobilized as soon as they saw this strange question.
You can see the number of real-time viewers on the website, but this number is fake, after all, it must be ugly to put the real data directly. But in any case, the number of viewers is definitely not much, but there are a lot of barrages on the video, which shows that this debate topic instantly stimulated the audience's discussion psychology.
Whether it's complaining or debating, anyway, as long as you want to express your opinion after seeing this debate, it means that this debate has worked!
In fact, there are many better options for debate questions purely for the sake of popularity, but Zhong Ming strongly demanded that Luo Mingjie must take this question in the first issue.
Why?
First, this question is a kind of compromise, not a very heavy and realistic debate topic like the first season of "Best Debater", nor is it some very down-to-earth emotional questions. If you suddenly get on the emotional problem in pursuit of popularity and traffic, it may have a dissuasive effect on some old audiences.
This question has a certain depth, but at the same time, it is also down-to-earth, which will neither make old audiences feel bored, nor will new audiences feel incomprehensible.
Second, this question is very consistent with the game "Learning the Boundless Sea", which naturally has a promotional effect, and it will be easier to place ads.
It can be predicted that if the second season of "Best Debater" becomes popular, it will inevitably attract many new viewers who have never seen this kind of show, and as soon as they open the first episode, they will be deeply impressed by the game "Learning the Sea", and the publicity effect is of course excellent.
In this debate, the Xuehai Naval Corps is on the right side, that is, supporting this "knowledge sharing" technology.
