"Script killing" comes from Western countries. Each player involved in the game has a different scenario. The player plays a role in the script and follows the plot. In order to discover the real "murderer", he collects evidence and communicates with other players, solving each case through deduction and reasoning. Every scripted murder is a different plot, very interesting and full of fresh excitement. However, due to the popularity of "kill scripts" and the backlog of controls, the quality of scripts on the market is currently uneven. In order to attract the attention of more consumers, pornographic violence staged through scripted plots has appeared from time to time, and even been named by mainstream media.
Script Kill was originally a niche game, but with the popularity of variety shows, Script Kill has gained widespread attention. It has gradually become a new social fashion of the post-90s and post-00s, a new way to expand the circle of friends, and is an excellent choice for young consumers. The preferred product for leisure and entertainment.
In fast-paced urban work and life, young people often don't have much time to interact with each other. Real-life socialization fades, and they increasingly rely on the web to socialize, leading to "old friends on the web." Reality is an "uncomfortable situation" for strangers. In this context, the script meets the real social needs of young people, the wonderful plot gives each person a different identity, and alleviates the embarrassment between "strangers" by establishing a specific environment and gaining a large number of loyal consumers.
According to relevant statistics, there are more than 45,000 domestic offline script killing shops, and the market size has already exceeded 10 billion yuan. With the rise and popularity of killing scripts, it has also driven the development of the entire industry chain. The murder script market has also begun to be chaotic, and problems such as pornography and violence have become increasingly prominent.
More and more writers are involved in the creation of screenplays. For every quality script sold, they earn hundreds of dollars. For scripts with good sales, the cumulative income of script creation can even reach millions of yuan. In order to attract more attention, in order to please players, many creators have added unacceptable plots such as soft pornography, violence and even incest and rape to the script, and "cunningly" connected the details of "pornography". to the plot. , but that's exactly what happened. Tricks tend to attract the "favor" of players with strong taste, so many stores also offer such scripts for players to buy for profit. At the same time, in order to evade supervision, these stores will not directly promote such scripts on platforms such as Meituan and Dianping, but will still provide them in offline stores. For example, scripts such as "The Dog Tamer" and "More than One Day" are known as "Little Yellow Books" in the industry. Because the content is so ugly that some readers may feel "uncomfortable" after reading the content of the script, it is not convenient to show it to everyone here.

In order to attract more young consumers, many offline stores that kill scripts have used the method of "shooting the ball". Some stores will hire a few beauties as "darlings" or part-time NPCs to earn discount points through Confucian spending. These "trustworthy beauties" easily earn more than 10,000 dollars, but the process of making money is often full of "vulgar pornography". In August 2020, a candidate in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, who had just completed the college entrance examination, was addicted to a "murderous script" and wasted 300,000 yuan prepared for him by his parents in three months. Almost all of them purchased "servant service" by looking at the boy's spending account. Adding a "maid" to WeChat in the killing scene store costs 500 yuan, and rewards the maid 888 yuan, 8888 yuan, etc.
In the name of the murder script, alcoholism, violence, indecency, and stripping incidents are endless. A 12-year-old boy was "taken to hospital in horror" while playing a scripted thriller because the plot was too terrifying; A 23-year-old student was bullied, harassed and assaulted in the chest while acting in a scripted thriller...
Plagiarism in scripts is also common. In order to save money and trouble, many creators directly "borrow" the plot of other original scripts, slightly modify the original script, and then turn it into their own works. Such creations often lose the finely crafted details of the original, making it impossible for players to appreciate the essence of the original.
Script killing is an innovation in the way of leisure and entertainment. As a rising star, these two years can be called "barbaric growth". Script killing enriches the social channels of young people with a narrow circle of friends. Reasoning is more interesting than games like werewolf killing. For young people whose lives are increasingly stressful, immersing themselves in the plot of the script can effectively relieve and relax. However, at present, the killing industry is still in the "three regards" zone and lacks effective control. Some scenes involving pornography, violence can have a very negative impact on teenagers and even the psychology of teenagers. We should be tolerant of the diversity of social approaches and markets, but we should also establish industry regulatory standards as soon as possible, strengthen script content review, and encourage creators to create better scripts that conform to social values.
