You can't guarantee that everyone is as normal as you, there will always be someone who is mentally retarded.
——Einstein
May 20, morning.
This is an inconspicuous small county town.
Most people work and rest regularly and at a slow pace. People envy civil servants and big hotel owners. Parents’ ambitions are in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Children are struggling to go to a good university. Young people in small towns have nothing to do. They just watch a movie and drink a cup of milk tea.
It's a very foreign thing... Everything seems to be no different from what it was more than ten years ago.
The mourning day lasts for three days, mainly yesterday. In the literal sense, "all entertainment activities are prohibited." There are special inspections, and even the Internet cafes are not open.
It was open today, but we couldn't play games, but it was still full of people early in the morning.
"grass!"
In a corner, a young man in his early 20s cursed, closed the black and white "World of Warcraft" login, and opened the "Audition" login, but it was also not open.
“You are not allowed to play any of Mahler Gobi’s games!”
He cursed and lit a cigarette, leaned back, had hedgehog-like hair, a silver skull pendant hanging around his neck, and smoked a 5-yuan Red River. He was a standard fringe young man.
He doesn't like "Audition" very much, but there are many girls in it, so it's easy to get started. In the past two years, he has collected girls from 11 zodiac signs, and there is still one Aries missing, so the 12 zodiac signs are complete.
It is said that it can summon Athena and the Bronze Five...
He couldn't play games, didn't like to read news, and had no one to chat with, so he had no choice but to watch videos. He didn't focus on any website. He only searched for the "video" keyword on Baidu and watched whatever came up.
He doesn't even care about genuine and pirated copies. He will watch them if they have them, and get pirated discs if they don't have them. Internet cafes will also download movies. In the past few years, they were very open and allowed people to play openly in Internet cafes, but now they are strictly controlled.
The most popular resources currently are "Manslaughter", "Ip Man" and "Slam Dunk".
I had watched "Slam Dunk" but couldn't understand "Manslaughter". Now I found "Ip Man". After watching it for a while, my neighbor stuck his head in and asked, "How is this movie?"
"It's not bad, it was a great fight!"
"Where did you find it?"
"Wheat grains!"
He shared it generously, and the neighbor looked at it happily. The two of them didn't know each other, but they knew they were the same kind of people by smell.
Unconsciously, it was noon. I ordered a rice bowl from the flyer in the Internet cafe and continued hanging out in the afternoon.
I ate, had fun, smoked cigarettes, and took phone calls from several girls. I never felt that this was a waste of time, but that it was extremely fulfilling, or a sense of security.
At this time, when he was browsing the World of Warcraft forum, he suddenly came across a link with several comments.
"Damn, this girl is so awesome!"
"You dare to say this?"
"I'm sick, I can't play games and I'm depressed, but I'm not like her, without even the most basic qualities."
"Come on upstairs, how many people think the same as her, but they just don't dare to say it!"
what's that?
He clicked on it curiously and went to a website, which was a video.
There is a young woman wearing a half-sleeved top, obviously recorded with a camera in an Internet cafe, expressing great anger at the ban on playing games, and various attacks and insults on the people in the disaster area...
"This woman is so fierce!"
The woman's account is called "Zhang Ya", which may be her real name.
After watching it, he had no deep feelings, no excitement, no anger. He just watched it as an ordinary video and threw it away, and continued to watch other videos.
Staying up all night is the norm, and today is no exception.
In a blink of an eye, the next day came, the 21st.
The young man opened his eyes in discomfort. He first went to the toilet to fill the water and wash his face. Then he came back and sat in front of the computer to see that there was still some time, so he opened the Tieba forum for fun.
Unexpectedly, after just one night, the post bar was full of:
"The brain-dead girl Zhang Ya insults the people in the disaster area!"
"Absolutely outrageous!"
“Audition players just don’t have the quality!”
He went to several of the platforms he frequented, and the posts were full of scoldings and criticisms of Zhang Ya, among which the words "Audition" were particularly prominent.
He subconsciously clicked it and looked at it again, feeling something was wrong.
"Is there this paragraph at the end of yesterday?"
The young man scratched his head, as if the two versions of the video were different.
But he didn't care about it. When it was time to get off the plane, he staggered out of the door, like a zombie afraid of the sun. He turned up his collar and lowered his head, and went home to sleep.
…………
On the 19th, some players appeared on the "Audition" forum, and they flooded the forum with the excuse that they couldn't play the game.
They may be real or they may be fake. The scope of the attack is still limited to games, and they do not or dare not involve earthquakes.
On the 20th, Zhang Ya’s video appeared.
Whether she actually recorded it herself or was manipulated behind the scenes is unknown - the current statement is true.
On the 21st, the video quickly fermented and expanded to the entire network.
The first version of the video didn't mention "Audition", but overnight, the second version of the video appeared - at the end, a line of text was added, which read: "Audition" so-and-so region, so-and-so account
.
Was post-produced.
Those overwhelming and indignant posts also highlighted the concept of "Audition players".
"I always thought that as human beings, we all have the most basic compassion and empathy for our fellow racers. Who knew I was wrong? Some people don't deserve to be called human beings!"
"I really don't understand. What kind of personality would make her say these things in the face of such a catastrophe? This is not just a matter of quality. I don't understand it anyway."
"I also want to play games, but I won't say such things. To put it bluntly, it's only three days. Can't you bear it even for three days?"
"It's an Internet cafe again! It's a game again! Electronic opium doesn't call you slaves!"
"Don't make generalizations upstairs. There are many games played, and not everyone is like her."
"I went through her old things and found some clues. Do you guys have any new clues?"
"I can basically confirm that Internet cafe!"
"What else can you say? Call the police!"
Angry netizens decided to conduct a human flesh search, and soon found it, and reported it to a police station in Shenyang - well, although they didn't want to admit it, this woman was from Shenyang.
The negative impact of this video was not only in China. Someone moved it to YouTube and made the front page headlines in the political news section.
I called the police in the morning and was arrested by noon.
The account was blocked and the woman came out to apologize, but this is not the end of the incident, but just the beginning!
…………
In the development history of China’s Internet, Zhu Jun, the boss of The9, is considered the number one figure.
He founded Ninetowns in 1998, claiming to be the first person to create a virtual community in China. However, the community at that time was very simple and was perfected step by step.
Ninetowns has BBS as its core, which is called "street". For example, the martial arts discussion section is called "Martial Arts Supreme Street".
There are also small games such as fishing and hunting, where you can decorate your home and send gifts to each other. There is also a game agent for "Miracle MU". It can be said that Ninetowns was very popular before being an agent for "World of Warcraft", and "World of Warcraft" belongs to Go one step further.
At his peak, Zhu Jun entered the football circle and directly won Shenhua Club.
Then each year became worse than the previous year. I heard that I later started mining and playing cryptocurrency...
"Bang bang bang!"
At the Ninth City headquarters, Zhu Jun slapped the table, his liver hurting with anger.
"We just won "Audition" and just handed over to 99, and something like this happened. Who would believe that there was no trick in it? That guy named Yao is used to using such dirty tricks. I think it was probably him again. The ghost!"
"He doesn't want to pay a high price to renew the contract, just to see us take over and come to mess with us again!"
A shit basin was firmly placed on Yao Yuan's head, and Zhu Jun lost his temper and asked: "Have you found Zhang Ya's account?"
"found it!"
“Really an Audition player?”
Zhu Jun's face turned green. If it was true, it would definitely be ruined!
"No no! Her account does exist, but it has not activated any major area. This means that the account has never created a character, let alone played games."
The subordinates quickly explained.
"so far so good!"
Zhu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered: "Immediately issue an investigation statement and point out the suspicious points in the video. Someone is messing with us!"
The9 quickly issued a statement explaining the investigation into Zhang Ya’s account and pointed out the key points of the video:
"The woman did not make any remarks to indicate that she was an "Audition" player. She only said that she could not play games during the National Memorial Day, and insulted the people in the disaster area. However, in the subsequent public opinion, she was inexplicably portrayed as an "Audition" player.
What’s the reason?”
"And what we are even more puzzled about is why the public opinion is so unified this time, targeting the Nine Cities? Not only the online media, but also some mass media are also adding fuel to the fire!"
Zhu Jun thought he could still get it back, but he didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't do enough to train the navy army.
What's more, this statement itself is not very powerful. It is like a page of toilet paper, wrapped in all kinds of feces and urine and lightly flushed into the toilet.
…………
At the same time, Yao Yuan was also depressed.
His original plan was to inflict insults on "Audition" and at the same time launch an indiscriminate attack on Penguin's upcoming "QQ Dance".
Old and new works will be played together, and then "Mai Mai Dance" will be released.
There was a deviation in the result, and what is even more depressing is that this deviation was caused by myself.
At this moment, he was sitting in the office, with Zhang Ya's video playing on the computer screen in front of him. The woman was still wearing a half-sleeved top, sitting on a chair in the Internet cafe and squirting.
She is not old and looks good. She has straight bangs and an air of someone who has not been to school.
But the key is that she has a purple wig on top of her bangs!
This kind of people are very common, young people in small towns, marginalized groups... and they now have a set of more fashionable names: Sha Matt! Burying Love Family! Non-mainstream!
Butterfly flaps its wings.
Zhang Ya wore a wig, and the impact was more serious than causing a storm, because she was associated with the non-mainstream, which is a major characteristic of Maimai.
"..."
Yao Yuan could even imagine that the opponent lurking in the dark would definitely bring about a storm of output.
