When this piece of news successfully attracted the attention of the general public and sparked widespread discussion, it undoubtedly gave a boost to the media.
Since the general public likes to hear and see, the media will naturally be driven to continue to dig deeper and deeper, thereby winning more traffic and attention.
Even at any cost, any topics and content related to Zhou Dongsheng have become the targets of excavation.
Even his hometown was not spared, and many reporters traveled all the way to Gu Town to try to further dig out the story of Zhou Dongsheng before he made his fortune.
I tried to dig out Zhou Dongsheng's past image from relatives, friends, classmates and teachers, and hoped to get some interesting revelations from them, which could be used as material for writing news.
It has to be said that the impact of such a piece of news was unexpected even by the media, which was the initiator.
After all, any piece of news that can arouse public opinion often requires the right time, place, people, and many other factors, all of which are indispensable.
Only by gathering many elements can we ensure a broad audience base, generate massive discussions and controversies, and then have the effect of detonating public opinion.
But forging iron requires one's own hard work. If there is no suitable news material, even if it is a media that is good at this, it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
There is no doubt that the news that Zhou Dongsheng started from scratch and became the first tens of billions of people born in the 1990s is news material with all the elements, and it can be said that it accurately hits the pain points of the general public.
After all, things are changing, no one is young forever, but some people are always young, and the baton of the times is always passed from one generation to another.
Among them, the right to speak is particularly obvious. As time goes by, a new generation of young people are gradually emerging in all walks of life, becoming the backbone of all walks of life, and making their own voices heard.
But although this generation grew up in the context of the Internet, the time it took to truly stand on the stage of history was still short, and they were still a little immature.
There are very few representatives who can really make a voice in the field of public opinion. Only the Internet can barely be regarded as the domain of young people.
Therefore, with young people eager to speak out, Internet celebrities have become this carrier, emerging on the Internet and becoming the spokesperson of the younger generation.
At the same time, these grassroots Internet celebrities who have stood out have undoubtedly seized the rare opportunity of this era, completed a great turnaround, and completed a class jump.
I have gradually begun to have a certain say in society. At least when my economic foundation improves, my status in the family will be significantly improved.
However, the Internet is always only a part of society, not all of it.
Even though young people are encircling their own cuteness on the Internet and twisting into a rope, it does not affect the right to speak in society at all. It is a fact that it is still in the hands of the older generation.
Although it is an objective law of history that a new generation replaces the old, this process is always gradual and never happens overnight.
Among them, the existence of the rich list is undoubtedly to provide a channel for the general public to get a glimpse of the hidden world.
To a certain extent, the relationship between wealth and social voice is almost equated.
It can be seen from the wealth lists of previous years that the wealth of society is still in the hands of the older generation, and only a small number of successors have begun to emerge.
Among them, Principal Wang, as the son of the richest man, naturally became the focus of the general public's attention when he topped the list, and thus became a widely sought-after topical figure on the Internet.
It's just that the status of inheritance and successor, this kind of treatment that has been won at the starting line since birth, is obviously not within the reach of the general public.
The general public is always more inclined to see the grassroots rise from "self-made". Compared with the superior innate conditions, acquired efforts can always give the public the illusion that they are closer to themselves.
After all, no one can choose their parents, but their own life path is really at their own feet and can be decided by themselves.
And when
With the change of generations, the previous generation "post-80s" has already become the mainstay of society and has begun to control a part of social wealth, which can be seen from the wealth list.
In the 2016 wealth list, more than 68 entrepreneurs born in the 1980s were on the list, 12 more than last year. Only 21 of them were self-made, which is enough to show that this generation is still the main force of society.
As a "post-90s generation", Zhou Dongsheng, who is only 21 years old, suddenly appeared on the list like a dark horse, becoming the only self-made post-90s entrepreneur on the list!
As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. Can such an "unprecedented" feat not become the focus of the general public's eyes?
Especially on the Internet, a public opinion field dominated by young people, it stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. For a time, many young people were willing to join the crowd and add fuel to the flames of Zhou Dongsheng's news.
After all, in the field of public opinion, identity labels are always the first means to divide factions. In the past, the identity label of "post-90s" has always become the target of criticism by mainstream public opinion.
Rao is willing to refute, but is also powerless. After all, under the identity label of "post-90s", there is really no figure who can stand out in the field of public opinion.
Nowadays, the situation is changing, Zhou Dongsheng has made a difference, and rounding it off means that the "post-90s generation" has made a difference, which is enough to make the majority of young people feel proud.
When I see someone saying that the "post-90s generation" is embarrassing Da Ren, isn't there someone who can fight back?
And praising Zhou Dongsheng is not called flattering, it is called carrying the banner for young people. Such a rare opportunity to gild one's identity label in the field of public opinion is something that comes only once and for all.
Of course, in addition to the overwhelming praise and support from some young people, there are also many doubts and controversies.
After all, there will always be people who like to sing the opposite and choose to speak contrary to the public to win applause. In the field of public opinion, opposing positions is the simplest and crudest way to create conflicts.
For people who don't mind watching the excitement, or who just like to have fun, finding fault with something is their greatest pleasure.
"I really can't understand the news now. What's there to brag about?"
"How come someone with a net worth of 10 billion will give you some money? Why are you so excited?"
"The first self-made rich man born in the 1990s? His words are unfounded, but where is the evidence of self-made wealth?"
"Taking a step back, do people like this have any contribution to society?"
"It is precisely the tragedy of our society that such people can control this kind of wealth!"
Comments like this gradually appeared in major comment areas, and gradually became like a prairie fire, receiving many echoes and support, and more and more people with different opinions joined in.
For a time, two distinct factions were quarreling on the Internet, and many opinion leaders joined them to participate in such a traffic feast.
Such a scene is naturally a scene that the media likes to see, and it gives them the motivation to continue digging and looking for explosive points.
After all, public opinion is like a firewood. If there is no way to continuously add firewood to it, no matter how strong the fire is, it will only last for three minutes.
However, just as public opinion was in an uproar, a personal interview video about Zhou Dongsheng was suddenly released.
This is undoubtedly another piece of bamboo thrown into the burning public opinion.
Suddenly the sound of crackling firecrackers spread on the Internet.
