While everyone was being touched, the assistant director in charge of the promotion of this live broadcast program couldn't help but frown tightly at this moment.
After all...
In the end, this is ultimately just a live entertainment program with simulated crime as the main line, not a documentary that truly records criminals....
If the contestants' actions are too realistic, it will exceed the boundaries of simulation and really become a crime! At the very least... Beating people like this, even drawing blood, in the eyes of the assistant director, is really a bit excessive....
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhang EMO worriedly and said uneasily: "Director Zhang, isn't Lin Bai's behavior a bit too violent and bloody?? If this passerby wants to sue Lin Bai, our program might get implicated.... Should we... terminate Lin Bai's competition qualification?"
After saying that, he stared at Zhang EMO, waiting for the chief director with rich shooting experience to give a definite answer.
However, to his surprise...
Facing this unexpected situation at this moment, Zhang EMO was not worried at all. Instead, he had a faint smile on his face and asked rhetorically: "Violent? Bloody?"
"Hmm?"
These two questions immediately confused the assistant director. There was both violence and blood in the picture, which made him mutter in a low voice: "Director Zhang... This... Isn't it violent and bloody?"
Who would have thought that Zhang EMO would laugh heartily and pat the assistant director on the shoulder, saying: "Xiao Wang... I have some heartfelt words that I want to share with you. I wonder if you'll think I'm being wordy?"
Hearing this, the assistant director immediately looked respectful and replied earnestly: "Director Zhang, please go ahead. I'll remember every word you say in my heart. There won't be the slightest impatience."
Zhang EMO smiled slightly, nodded, and said slowly: "First of all, I think that as a program simulating crime, if, like in the previous seasons, the staff intervenes immediately as soon as the contestants make a move, then this program won't be called simulating crime. It would be no different from playing house. Doing the program like this won't raise the public's awareness of prevention. Instead, it will give them a sense of 'the boy who cried wolf'. When they encounter dangerous situations in the future, they'll think it's just a simulation for fun...."
Hearing this, the assistant director's expression immediately became solemn, and he murmured: "I really haven't thought about this before...."
Zhang EMO continued: "Secondly, do you think Lin Bai's behavior is a mistake?? Is using force always wrong??"
The assistant director suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang EMO in astonishment. Obviously, he didn't expect Zhang EMO to say such a thing. He really didn't know how to answer this question.
After all, in the education he had received, using force was wrong....
Zhang EMO let out a long sigh and said earnestly: "In my opinion, force doesn't equal sin. After all, the peaceful lives of the country, society, and all the people today were fought for by our ancestors with force and bloodshed, weren't they??"
Speaking of this, Zhang EMO paused for a moment, then looked at the assistant director extremely seriously, word by word: "Our nation has never been a cowardly nation that stands by and watches indifferently!"
Hearing these words, the assistant director immediately fell into deep thought.
He wasn't a fool. Naturally, he could understand the profound meaning in Zhang EMO's words. Thinking carefully, today's society really lacks such a force, a force to resist the bad trends!
Once upon a time, there was someone who made us stand up. Now, unconsciously, it seems that we are gradually kneeling down again. Everyone is standing by and watching, protecting themselves. The courage to take action for others has unconsciously become a ridiculous behavior that is ridiculed by others....
Is this the normal atmosphere that a society should have?
Zhang EMO said faintly: "The tragic consequences of pretending to be deaf and dumb when feeling injustice are all written in the history books. So... I don't think Lin Bai's behavior is violent! When we do a program, we can't just focus on entertainment. It also has to have meaning."
The assistant director took a deep breath and nodded with sudden realization, looking admiringly: "I've learned a lot from you, Director Zhang."
Zhang EMO nodded, slowly sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Besides... The situation just now wasn't as violent as you thought."
The assistant director was stunned for a moment and looked confused: "Hmm? What do you mean??"
Zhang EMO called out with a smile: "Xiao Chen, replay some of the details in the carriage just now for Director Wang and the audience."
"Sure."
A staff member in the corner immediately responded and then quickly tapped on the keyboard.
The next second...
A replay appeared in the live broadcast room.
In the picture, Lin Bai grabbed Huang Ergou by the collar, slapped him hard a few times, then threw him directly on the ground and rushed up to punch him hard a few times.
But at this time...
The picture slowly zoomed in and slowed down...
The assistant director stared at the screen. First, he frowned in confusion. The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and raised his head in surprise, shouting: "His fists... They all hit the floor!"
And this scene was clearly seen by the audience in the live broadcast room.
Lin Bai did slap.
But the most violent punches didn't land on the yellow-haired guy at all.
This immediately made the barrage explode.
[Damn it?? The anger of Brother Bai just now was actually an act!]
[Oh my god, the forceful slaps and punches all missed...]
[That is to say, the blood on Brother Bai's hands is his own??]
[This... So Brother Bai wasn't angry at all...]
[He just couldn't stand the behavior of the yellow-haired guy and wanted to teach him how to be a person?]
[But the question is, why did Brother Bai interfere? It has nothing to do with him. Why did he hurt himself to interfere in this kind of thing?]
[Brother, you don't understand. This is the charm of Brother Bai's personality!]
[Damn it! Okay, I admit that you, Lin Bai, are a little bit handsomer than me now....]
Seeing this picture and the blood flowing on the ground, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
After all...
This is an indifferent era.
Helping others at the expense of one's own interests?
In the past, there were indeed many such predecessors. They shed blood and sacrificed themselves to uphold justice, and people called them heroes.
In this era, when someone does such a thing, more people will only laugh at them as fools.
At such a time, daring to stand up like this is already a great courage.
And in the picture at this moment.
Lin Bai walked out of the carriage extremely freely. He glanced sideways behind him to make sure that no one could see him.
The calmness on his face immediately turned into a grimace, and he started shaking his hand frantically.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch...."
Damn it! I should have used less force just now...
Seeing Lin Bai's reaction, the audience who were touched just a second ago couldn't help but burst out laughing.
[Pfft... Sorry, Brother Bai. I really couldn't hold it in.]
[Goodness, you can't be handsome for more than three seconds, right?]
[It feels good to show off for a while, but you'll regret it later~]
[Hehe, Brother Bai is quite cute, isn't he?]
Of course, Lin Bai's blood wasn't shed in vain. He directly opened the system interface.
Sure enough...
A line of text that he expected appeared on it.
[Current task progress 2/3]
[Congratulations to the host, having harvested ten thousand shock values at an extremely fast speed]
[Received an additional reward: God-level Hacking Skills]
Seeing this line of text, a flash of excitement shone in Lin Bai's eyes.
Sure enough!
As long as the collection of shock values can be completed within the time estimated by the system, additional rewards can be obtained.
Moreover, the faster the collection speed, the higher the quality of the rewards obtained!
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
And just at this moment.
"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at the terminal station of this train..."
Lin Bai slowly raised his head. There wasn't much time left for him.
His expression became a bit solemn.
Because Lin Bai knew very well that the moment the train stopped, the real test would officially begin!
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes were focused on Lin Bai.
Everyone was excitedly rubbing their hands like flies.
He's coming!
He's coming!
He's finally coming!
The first highlight clash of this season's simulated crime program!
The curtain!!
Is about to rise!!
