I didn't want to be an actor

The shots of "Qi Pa Shuo" are very particular.

Strictly follow the power politics of Ka position.

Ka position, English translation: sumptuary laws, in China, refers to the order of hierarchical distribution in the ritual system. The most typical one is: the emperor can have nine pots in his home, the princes have seven pots, the doctor has five pots, and the scholar has three pots. Common people have a pot.

This hierarchical distribution order deeply exists in every corner of our society, especially in the entertainment industry.

For example, in the program "Qi Pa Shuo", Ma Dong, He Ji, and Cai Kangyong can have 90 scenes, Luo Siwei and Zhang Quanling have 70 scenes, and Shen Liang is one of the invited celebrities, and he can have about 50 scenes...

Of course, the most important thing is the players.

Fifty shots of famous players, three shots of new players, and one distant shot of other veteran players.

In fact, the arrangement of the competition system itself already reflects the implementation of hierarchical order: when the instructor entered the debate, he used the word: descend to the earth.

The word "down to earth" unmistakably demonstrates the order of humans and gods in "Qi Pa Shuo": the contestants are humans and the mentor is a god; the mentor enters the debate and still enjoys the authority of a god, which cannot be refuted - at least not by mortals.

It stands to reason that a program like "Qi Pa Shuo", a language variety show that targets young people and flaunts liberal values, requires a bit of a spirit of resistance to authority, or at least a spirit of questioning authority...

Unfortunately, starting from the first season, Gao Xiaosong angrily criticized Liang Zhi, which directly set the tone for this show - implicit bullying in variety shows.

The players didn’t dare to resist at all…

It feels like "Qi Pa Shuo" has become a very regular variety show, without the wild growth power of the first season...

It's quite normal. In the later stage of any program, it will be full of routines and flattery.

After all, this is a profit-driven society, which eventually changed the original group of people.

Oh, the topic of this debate is ‘Is it a virtue not to cause trouble to others? ’

The logic of any normal person is - it is a duty not to cause trouble to others, but it is by no means a virtue!

After announcing the title, He Juan asked Shen Liang as usual: "Does Shen Liang think this is a virtue?"

"I don't think we can talk about virtue or not. It's a duty to do things in a measured way and to be a person with moderation... What does it mean to not trouble others? It means you did what you should do. This is not called virtue... Isn't it called virtue... What you should do is called immorality, and there is a lot of difference between immorality and virtue... If you ask me to borrow money to surf the Internet, I won't borrow it. This doesn't mean it doesn't have virtue, nor does it call it immorality. It's called a normal choice..."

Ma Dong interrupted him: "Okay, I can't say any more... If you keep talking, there will be no debate!"

Shen Liang quickly stopped: "Well, so, I'm curious about what Zhengfang is going to do..."

Then comes the debate.

There is nothing to say in a debate. The purpose of a debate is not to argue the truth, but to win over the other party. In fact, it is quite irrational and objective.

Only those who are mean and keen on tearing apart can stand out!

A truly strong person has boundless love and is upright in body and mind!

Then they were squeezed out of the group, for example, Chen Ming.

Damn, what an awesome debater, he was actually labeled as "standing in the center of the universe and calling for love" and "a spokesman for positive energy"...

Also, when Luo Zhenyu talks, he always elevates simple things to the level of a combination of advanced and rare words, and then talks about messy things...

He also often makes circular arguments, that is, giving a definition first: For example: women are creatures with a higher latitude than men...

Then he uses his own definition to prove his argument. The key is, why do you define it? Your definition itself is open to debate...

In order to win, he stood up and asked the audience, "Is it unethical to cause trouble to others?" ', and also proposed the term "issuing social currency" to make things confusing. To put it simply, he was analyzing the benefits of causing trouble for others from a subjective perspective...

"Okay, the vote counting is over, let's call it a truce for now!" Ma Dong asked Shen Liang: "How do you feel?"

Shen Liang smiled and nodded: "It's quite interesting, listening to a bunch of people talking nonsense and talking about theories that I don't believe..."

"Are you still sticking to your previous position?"

"Of course, just like queuing alone is a normal state, jumping in line is a bad virtue, and it is a virtue to have others jump in the queue to stop it, but queuing itself is not a virtue... What Teacher Luo just said, 'Is it a bad virtue to cause trouble for others?' Is it really true? It’s too sophistry. If it’s not a virtue, it’s equal to being immoral... What kind of social currency is there? Tsk tsk... Is it immoral if I don’t cause trouble to others? "

He Ji couldn't help it anymore: "I feel you are targeting Teacher Luo..."

"No, I admire him very much. He is a businessman who makes money from selling books... In China, any reasonable and legal means of making money is allowed! But what he just said is very inflammatory, which is very typical. The analysis mainly focuses on the characteristics of the buying crowd and targeted hype, and the profit-seeking ideas of merchants... I used to do this in live broadcasting, but my methods are a little worse... I can learn from you!"

Luo Zhenyu smiled awkwardly.

He Jiong commented: "... Yin and Yang are weird!"

Shen Liang quickly begged for mercy: "...I was wrong, Teacher He."

"Be sure to pay attention next time!"

Shen Liang smiled bitterly: "I don't know if there will be a next time. After the EP is released, if the results are not satisfactory, I probably won't be invited to any program."

"You are a singer?"

"Yes... no, Teacher Ma, don't you know what I do?"

"They said you are very popular, and inviting you will definitely be effective for the show..." Ma Dong explained, and asked by the way: "Aren't you from Communication University of China? Why are you singing?"

"Our school is good, and it does not restrict students' self-development..."

He Jiong changed the subject: "When will the EP be released?"

"On the 7th of next month, please support us!"

...

After recording "The Debaters", Shen Liang said goodbye to the production team and the guests as usual...

Leaving the hall, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I was still quite nervous, after all, this show is all about talking.

Chen Jiadong opened the car door and complained: "I feel like you didn't perform well!"

"...Then how should I perform?"

"Didn't you tell me before that I must perform well on "Strange Talk"?"

"...It's better to be restrained..." Shen Liang sat back in the back seat. The car drove to the airport. He had to rush back to Qingdao...

The next step was to join the crew to shoot "The Wandering Earth"...

Shen Liang suddenly thought of something: "By the way, how much is my appearance fee?"

"The external quotation is 800,000 per episode!"

"How much?"

"800,000..."

Shen Liang was surprised: "Damn, am I so expensive?"

"It's very cheap. Yang Di now charges 500,000 per episode...Wang Jiaer, who recorded "Refrigerator" the day before yesterday, participated in an episode of the show The offer is 1.2 million...Reality shows are half as expensive!" Chen Jiadong then explained: "Generally, the top stars charge 10 million for one episode, and the package for one season will be lower. However, studio programs are about half the price of reality shows. For example, Lu Han participated in "Eat Well" and the final price was 4 million per episode..."

"People like Chen He, Xie Na, Wang Zulan, Jing Boran, Luo Zhixiang, Da Zhangwei, Xue Zhiqian, etc. are now 2-3 million per episode, and they are basically not picky about the show. As long as the money is in place and there is a schedule, they are willing to go on it. "

"We just recorded "U Can U Bibi", Xiao Xiao, Ma Weiwei and some popular players are about 300,000 per episode... In comparison, we only offered 800,000..."
