The atmosphere at the recording of that episode of "Happy Camp" was lively and enthusiastic. The host announced the interactive game session with a cheerful smile, and the guests, you look at me, I look at you, all pricked up their ears and prepared to listen to the rules of the game.
"We're going to pick out two guests to perform a couple interaction in cold weather!" The host revealed the content of the game, and the audience let out one after another heckling.
"Come on, come on, let's perform our heroic Miss Li Qin and Mr. Wang Dalu!" As soon as they heard the host's arrangement, Wang Dalu and Li Qin glanced at each other, and they both saw a little surprise in each other's eyes.
The two nodded slightly, stood up and walked to the center of the stage. "Hahaha, this pair is too sweet!" The audience looked at the figure of the two standing side by side on the screen, and couldn't help laughing happily, waiting for the show to be staged.
With the host's order, Wang Dalu and Li Qin quickly entered the state. Wang Dalu put his hands on Li Qin's shoulders and made a warm hug; Li Qin wrapped his hands around Wang Dalu's waist, squinted his eyes and smiled sweetly.
A whistle rang out at the scene, and applause was thunderous. The two cooperated tacitly and successfully performed an atmosphere of sweet attachment.
However, they didn't know that this perfect performance later caused a misunderstanding among netizens and became an unexpected storm.
As soon as the video of the performance that night was uploaded, it quickly became popular on the Internet. After seeing the sweet interaction scene between Wang Dalu and Li Qin, many viewers left messages to ridicule the scandal or relationship between the two.
However, some viewers misunderstood, thinking that Wang Dalu deliberately took advantage of Li Qin. Early the next morning, Wang Dalu found that his name was on the hot search, and the following comments questioned his unprofessionalism. Seeing this sudden questioning, Wang Dalu was stunned, and after thinking about it, he really didn't understand what was going on.
At the same time, Li Qin also received a message from her agent, informing her that after the controversy caused by this video, Wang Dalu and Li Qin decided to issue their own statements, clarifying that this was just a performance arranged by the program team, and there was no deviant meaning. They emphasized that they have always maintained professionalism and do not want everyone to have a misunderstanding because of a program clip.
He also expressed the hope that everyone would not over-interpret this normal interactive session. After the statement of the two was issued, the doubts on the Internet dropped a lot for a while. However, there are still a small number of people who insist on their own opinions, believing that Wang Dalu deliberately made trouble.
Seeing this situation, Wang Dalu and Li Qin both felt helpless, and couldn't figure out how this turmoil could arise for no reason. This oolong incident is not the first time in the entertainment industry. A similar misunderstanding had happened to Qin Lan before.
It was a few years ago that Qin Lan and an actor performed a rivalry when they participated in a variety show. Due to the need to cooperate with the completion of a certain action through physical contact, this interaction was interpreted by some viewers as the actor deliberately touching Qin Lan's sensitive parts.
As soon as this discussion came out, it immediately went viral on the Internet, causing Qin Lan and the actor to be seriously affected. Faced with the sudden questioning, Qin Lan felt bewildered.
Later, she had to come forward to issue a statement emphasizing that all physical contact in the show was a normal excuse for the performance, and there was no deviant element.
There are many similarities between the two incidents. The parties completed the performances required by the program, but were misinterpreted by individual audiences, and a storm ensued. As bystanders, we should remain rational and objective when looking at such events.
You should not take your suspicions as facts, let alone arbitrarily criticize and slander the professionalism of program producers and actors. After all, everyone is faced with a well-arranged performance or game session, and too much imagination often does not lead to good results. As melon-eating viewers, we also need to have basic proportions and judgments, and look at such anecdotes with the mentality of treating things and not people.
Seeing this oolong incident, we have to think about why such misunderstandings emerge in an endless stream in this highly competitive entertainment industry and a highly connected online world.
Many celebrities have been judged by consumption and morality, and online violence has also appeared from time to time. This shows that there are still some problems worthy of our deep consideration in the current cultural environment.
First of all, there is a lack of rationality and empathy in the public's attitude towards celebrities and public figures. In the face of news or videos, the public is often emotional, Xi is habitual to criticize and blame, and lacks the spirit of questioning.
Secondly, better industry rules need to be established within the entertainment industry. The details of the performance should be discussed and determined by all parties, so as to eliminate ambiguous performance arrangements and protect the rights and interests of the actors.
In addition, Internet companies should also strive to create a rational and friendly civilized environment. We can't acquiesce to chaos for the sake of traffic, but also set up a reporting and handling mechanism to filter malicious information.
We, the general public, should also improve our media literacy and literacy. Look at every news event with reason and empathy, and be tolerant of possible mistakes.
If each individual can start from himself, I believe that in the future, we will enter a more civilized and rational cyberspace, and there will be no more such regrettable incidents.
Acting is an actor's job, and the need to get into the role is a basic requirement. We, as viewers, should also understand this when watching such interactive sessions, and look at it with a professional and empathetic eye.
If a normal performance clip can trigger moral criticism and online violence, how much pressure should there be on the actors?
The so-called melon-eating audience also needs to have basic judgment and proportion. Suspicion cannot be taken as fact, let alone easily accused and slandered. The person concerned has personally clarified, we should stop questioning and stop tearing up on the Internet for no reason.
A new year is coming. Let's put aside our prejudices and treat every news and story around us with a more rational and tolerant attitude. Create a civilized cyberspace with sincerity and goodwill, and leave more room for public figures to survive.
If everyone can start from themselves, I believe we will usher in a better tomorrow.
