Recently, the famous artist Wang Yibo appeared at a symposium on the construction of professional ethics in radio and television and delivered a speech at the conference, and this video attracted widespread attention on social media.
At the symposium, Mr. Wang wore a casual black storm jacket and a gray hat, in stark contrast to the other attendees, most of whom wore formal or white shirts. Wang Yibo's appearance attracted everyone's attention.
Wang Yibo said in his speech that he will adhere to the law, safeguard industry ethics, do not cross the bottom line, and abide by industry ethics. However, there was a subtle pause when it came to ethical standards in the industry.
Du Hua, the boss sitting behind Wang Yibo, kept watching him, and when he pronounced the wrong pronunciation, Du Hua's expression became subtle. She originally lowered her head carelessly, but after hearing Wang Yibo's wrong pronunciation, she raised her eyes nervously, showing obvious concern.
As soon as this video was released, it immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some people questioned why they couldn't strengthen their own cultural level, some frankly said that they were embarrassed, and some joked: "It is worthy of CCTV's 'award' desperate illiteracy."
At that time, Wang Yibo was controversial because he did not answer questions during the road show. His responses included: "I don't know how to answer", "I don't think this kind of question makes much sense" and so on.
This is not the first time that Wang Yibo has caused controversy due to "illiterate" remarks. When he became popular with "Chen Qingling", he once showed his "knowledge" in interviews, such as writing the "tour" in "Here to visit" incorrectly, but then posted an apology dynamic, and fans tolerantly accepted his apology.
Not only Wang Yibo, post-95 actress Zhao Lusi and "Mou girl" Liu Haocun and others were also dubbed "desperate illiterate" because of their "gaffes" in the interview. When asked about the definition of "actor", they confidently answered "it's me", but they were vague when it came to character understanding and plot interpretation.
Netizens pointed out that the problem is not necessarily ridicule, and perhaps fans should encourage idols to learn and improve than constantly defending their idols' wrong remarks. Otherwise, one day, the "desperate illiterate" will be replaced, and even if there are more resources to support it, it will only be short-lived.
