The explosion of the show "The Strongest Brain" has made a person transform from an unknown researcher to a high-exposure figure, he is Wei Kunlin, a professor at Peking University. A dispute between Wei Kunlin and Guo Jingming on the show also pushed him to the cusp of the storm and became the "highest controversial person" who had been hot on the Internet for a long time.
At that time, the program team invited Guo Jingming, the most famous writer and director of the moment, as a star guest to host with Wei Kunlin. During the recording of the show, controversy was sparked because the two had their own opinions on the judges of the promoters and neither could convince anyone.
In the end, Wei Kunlin's sentence "How can I feel like I quarrel with a woman" led Guo Jingming to accuse Wei Kunlin of being uncultured on the spot and angrily left the scene, beginning a four-year-long feud between the two.

With continuous efforts, Wei Kunlin finally succeeded in being admitted to the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. At the University of Pennsylvania, he majored in motion control and electrical engineering, and Wei Kunlin was also under great pressure because she had to face better classmates than him every day.

During her studies in the United States, Wei Kunlin not only succeeded in her studies but also gained her own love.
Wei Kunlin's "The Strongest Brain"
Although Wei Kunlin received an education abroad, he learned and hoped to build a small force for the country. So Wei Kunlin quickly returned to China with the letter of appointment from Peking University and became a professor of psychology and cognitive science at Peking University.
Wei Kunlin's long facial features are handsome and cheerful, young and promising, many students did not expect that he was so handsome that he was actually a professor-level figure, so soon he became a beautiful landscape of Peking University. Wherever you go, you can catch everyone's eye.
Because under the professional field, Wei Kunlin showed absolute professionalism. Not only peking university students but also students from other schools will come to listen to his lectures, and his classes are often full.
There was another reason why the students liked Wei Kunlin, that is, Wei Kunlin was not a "nerdy" professor like other professors, he was a professor who was proficient in eighteen martial arts.
In addition to teaching, he will organize students to ski and climb mountains or surf, such a handsome teacher who has no professor shelf has gained a lot of fans.
In just a few years, Wei Kunlin's fame has also become more and more famous. At that time, Jiangsu Satellite TV was preparing China's first brain program "The Strongest Brain", the producer inadvertently saw Wei Kunlin's profile and photos, Wei Kunlin's handsome appearance and excellent professionalism made the producer feel that if he could be invited to join, then the program would be popular, so he threw an olive branch to Wei Kunlin.
At first, Wei Kunlin did not agree to participate in the program, saying that he only wanted to do academic research and did not want to participate in the program to win the favor. The producer painstakingly explained that the main purpose of this show is to tap china's strongest brain, and everything is inseparable from science. The sincerity of the program team finally impressed Wei Kunlin, so he agreed to participate in the program.
After the release of the first episode of "The Strongest Brain" in 2013, it quickly became popular across the country. As the brain power in the program, the phrase "science is my only criterion for judging" has become synonymous with Wei Kunlin. Relying on this explosive program, Wei Kunlin achieved fame and fortune.
Teaching and scientific research work is easy for Wei Kunlin, but it can be seen that he is very nervous when recording the program, after all, teaching and recording the program are two different concepts.
However, soon Wei Kunlin quickly completed the transformation of the variety show Xiaobai to the old driver of the light car, and even picked up the stem to create a stem, which allowed the audience to see Wei Kunlin's interesting soul and also made his popularity bigger and bigger.
Negative news keeps coming
Each episode of the "Strongest Brain" program will have different guests, and the academic guests will always be Wei Kunlin, who can't move. In the 2016 show, partnering with Guo Jingming made Wei Kunlin a hot search and was controversial.
Guo Jingming in the recording of the program Wei Kunlin adhered to the science as the criterion of judgment, Guo Jingming had a different idea, so the two tit-for-tat argued with each other, and finally escalated into a quarrel so that Guo Jingming angrily got up and left the table.
Wei Kunlin's sentence "I seem to be arguing with a woman" has also caused controversy on the Internet, and netizens have accused Wei Kunlin of sexism and making his male god image no longer exist, and indeed this sentence should not come from the mouth of a cultured professor.
Sometimes people are in a hurry to say something, and Wei Kunlin already feels regret after saying it. He wanted to make peace with Guo Jingming, but Guo Jingming would not give him a chance.
After the broadcast of this quarrelsome program, it had a great impact on Wei Kunlin's reputation. Slowly, the ratings of "The Strongest Brain" are declining, and in order to improve the ratings, the producer has opened another program mode called the Team Challenge, and Wei Kunlin and the star players Bao Yun and Wang Feng serve as the captain together. The three of them are all different in their own fields, and they dare to do it and dare to say it.
Finally, in the recording of the program, there was another war, and this time the verbal battle actually hit the outside of the program, and finally escalated into each other's privacy.
Later, Wei Kunlin's extramarital affair became a stain on his life, and for a time netizens criticized Wei Kunlin. In the face of such rumors, Wei Kunlin took up legal means to protect her rights and interests.
Through the police to find the rumor-monger, the original rumor-monger turned out to be Wei Kunlin's hardcore fan, but in the end because of love and hate to publish rumors to retaliate against him, and finally the rumor-monger publicly issued an apology letter. Although on the surface Wei Kunlin regained her innocence, this peach-colored news made his reputation plummet.
Through this incident, he also deeply reflected on himself, and high exposure brought him fame and fortune and brought trouble contrary to his original intentions. After much thought, he decided to quit recording the new issue of "The Strongest Brain" and concentrate on academic research. Overexposing as a scientist is not a good thing, and daring to remove the halo and maintain the original intention is the long-term way.
