This top guy is crazy!

On the Limits of Free Speech of Public Figures

“I haven’t written an article for a long time, but after reading Xia Ming’s post on Weibo, I felt that I had to step up and offer some teaching support.

After reading the title, you should know who I am referring to. Anyway, there are not many fools in the domestic entertainment industry who claim to be "righteous" and talk high-sounding words. In order to avoid unnecessary controversy, I will not name them.

Yes, it's you.

Xia Ming!

What happened recently?
A big star beat his chest and stamped his feet on Weibo, saying that there was an earthquake in Southeast Asia, and called on the country to donate money for disaster relief in a heartbreaking manner.

Yan: If our country is willing to help them, the whole world will understand what Tianxia's power and Tianxia's manufacturing capabilities are. This blue planet is our common home.

Finally, a sentence was added at the end, enclosed in brackets, to provide additional explanation: The idea is very simple, if you argue, you will win.

When I saw this person, I was like, wow, isn't this my old acquaintance Xia Ming? !
The most amazing thing about Xia Ming is that he always manages to turn his life into a joke.

When I first read his Weibo post, I thought it was ridiculous and absurd, and wondered what kind of idiot he was. But when I looked into it more carefully, I felt that something was wrong, and his words had a strange smell.

At this time, some netizens suddenly revealed the truth: "His parents immigrated to Thailand a long time ago and bought several school district houses in the center of Bangkok." These words immediately tore off the disguise - it turned out that Xia Ming's "compassion for the world" was all a selfish performance!

How strange! How strange! Xia Ming himself lives in a mansion worth tens of millions, but he is extremely stingy when it comes to charity donations. On the contrary, he is always generous with the country's money, and he always talks about "our Tianxia should do this and that".

What does Tianxia have to do with you? I want to ask you,
Are you Tyrande?
No.

Are you from Tianxia?

Yes.

Did the earthquake happen here?

No.

Did it happen to Tyrande?

Yes.

So why don't you let him take care of it and let me take care of it?
Because you are a good person.

What the hell is this? Just because I'm a good person I should be paid to do voluntary labor for Tyrande?

This kind of logic is no different from the "theory of persuading people to sacrifice". He holds his own wallet tighter than an iron bucket, but forces others to pay; his spine is as soft as cotton, but he lets the country support him!

Ridiculous!

His parents have long been naturalized as Thai citizens, and live in a villa and run a shop in Bangkok. Now they are calling for "Tianxia assistance". Do they care about the world or are they afraid that their own business will be affected by the earthquake?
I guess it's the latter?

When I saw the earthquake in Tyrande, my heart was pounding: Oh no, don’t destroy my property in Tyrande, I need to ask my motherland to come to the rescue quickly!
Xia Ming probably thought that as long as he raised the banner of "internationalism", he could cover up his own selfish interests, but he didn't know that this kind of "state kidnapping" was nothing more than a clown on the stage in the eyes of any discerning person - the louder it sang, the more ridiculous it looked.

But he still thinks he is very smart, and looks like he is shrewd and yet cannot figure things out.

What is even more disgusting is Xia Ming’s frivolous attitude towards national diplomacy.

The relationship between countries is like cooking a small fish. We must judge the situation and take the overall situation into consideration.

Regarding the Tyrande earthquake, whether Tianxia should provide assistance and how to provide assistance are all professional considerations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Is it the turn of a star like you who relies on traffic to make a living to give advice?

Xia Ming wouldn't think that by saying a few words "demonstrating national strength" on Weibo, he could gain a reputation of "caring about the country and the people", right?
Do you know that international aid is no joke - material allocation, diplomatic procedures, post-disaster reconstruction, which one is not linked to the whole body? You are standing in the clouds, just by talking to each other, and you are pointing fingers at the national decision-making?

To give an analogy: It's like a fly in the kitchen, watching the chef cook, and thinking that he can also cook.

I really dislike the current trend where some public figures, relying on their large number of fans and media support, think they can have a say in everything going on in the world, but they forget about freedom of speech. On one side is influence, and on the other is responsibility.

Of course, if it were me it would be a different story.

The problem with people like Xia Ming is not that he "suggests aid" but that he has "impure motives and crosses the line of identity": as a star who knows nothing about international politics, he should just shut up, but he insists on talking nonsense in the field of diplomacy.

The key is that he is secretly engaging in "moral kidnapping". According to his logic - if you help Tyrande, you demonstrate the power of Tianxia and Tianxia manufacturing. If you don't help Tyrande, will Tianxia be powerless?

But can Tianxia's power and Tianxia's manufacturing let you decide with just your mouth?
If you decide that there is, then there is. If you decide that there isn’t, then there isn’t?
This kind of idiot sets up a stage on Weibo, pretending to be a "patriotic hero", but lets the country bear the risk of public opinion for him.

This behavior of using national decisions as a personal traffic tool is truly unscrupulous!
I really want to punch him to death!

People in the Chinese entertainment industry always say that I have a bad temper and am difficult to get along with. In fact, I think I have never made friends or enemies because of a small matter. I still have many old friends in the Chinese entertainment industry. Even Lu Zhuofeng was influenced by me and became more humane. We have a good relationship. I would like to ask him to be my director in the future.

why?

The key is that I don't care about trivial matters, but focus on the big picture.

What about Xia Ming? He is the opposite, and is precisely "ignoring the greater good and caring about the smaller details" - he has only a vague understanding of national justice and international responsibility, but is very shrewd in personal interests and traffic calculations.

There are two calculations behind his remarks: one is for his family members overseas, hoping for assistance from his motherland to protect his own industry; the other is for himself, using the "patriotic issue" to stir up popularity and establish his image.

If this kind of "selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton" behavior is not exposed, it may lead more public figures to mistakenly believe that as long as they carry the banner of the "country", they can run rampant in the field of public opinion, and even if they are only concerned with personal gain, they can still parade around in the guise of "justice".

If you really want to demonstrate the "power of Tianxia", first learn to be responsible for your own words; if you really care about the disaster in Tyrande, first donate your luxury cars and houses!

Xia Ming has been around for so many years, he should have two hundred million, right?

How about you donate 100 million first?
In addition, I have to say that my artist played the joke of "big picture, cerebral thrombosis" on a certain program, and then Xia Ming's fans couldn't sit still. They rushed to the comment section of my artist and launched a cyber-bullying. They also called on fans to "clean up the square" in the super topic and accused netizens of "not understanding international strategy."

I thought, weren’t you the first to post the Weibo? Weren’t you the one who came up with the suggestion?

Since you have publicly expressed your opinions on the public network, you should accept other people's evaluations, right?

What? You can't even play with memes anymore?

And I think this joke is very interesting and clever, and the cleverness lies in its precision!
The three words "overall view" were originally a positive word, but when applied to Xia Ming, they became ironic - the "overall situation of the country" he kept talking about was nothing but a vicious heart wrapped in selfish interests;

The ridicule of "cerebral thrombosis" may seem crude, but it reveals the logical obstruction of his speech.

Treating international aid as a personal show and diplomatic decisions as traffic props, isn’t this a symptom of a “tangled brain”?
I really have to applaud here. The wisdom of netizens has always been hidden in jokes.

What’s even more interesting is that the more Xia Ming forbids people from playing with memes, the more popular the memes become. Isn’t this spokesperson for “big picture” too sensitive to jokes?

Did I get angry when someone made fun of my overalls? No? Why did Xia Ming get angry when he heard this joke?

Then if I write this article, won’t I also be scolded by Xia Ming’s fans for “riding on the popularity” and “being a sour artist”? I can’t afford to offend you~
However, I am not afraid of being scolded at all, and I even welcome the scolding - if this article of mine can make more people see how some public figures use the name of "patriotism" to pursue personal gain, and how they use "the overall situation" to cover up "cerebral thrombosis", even if I am scolded a few times, it will be worth it.

Xia Ming can let his fans charge, let the marketing accounts control the comments, and let the legal department send letters, I will take over!

The more you put on the airs of "big picture", the more I will shout out the jokes about "cerebral thrombosis"; the more you call for cyber violence, the more I will expose your little tricks to the sun. As a critic, I may not be perfect, but at least I don't hide behind the national flag to carry my own agenda. I have also called on everyone to pay attention to Gaza, but I have also donated a lot of money!

Okay, now I've also played the "cerebral thrombosis" joke, you can scold me now."

As soon as Cheng Cheng's "brilliant article" was published, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

You know, it’s been a long time since Cheng Cheng started a war on the Internet!
When Cheng Cheng was not on the Internet, netizens had no fun watching. Now that Cheng Cheng was off the stage and posted such a long Weibo post, they were so excited that they rushed to tell each other and called their friends:
Damn, Cheng Cheng has started a war again! Come and watch the fun!
Within half an hour, Cheng Cheng's Weibo post received three million likes and 20 comments.

The entry #成丞长文# even ranked first on Weibo’s hot search list.

"It's so funny! Cheng Cheng knows whether he has it or not once he makes a move! "Spending the country's money to cover his own wallet" is so damn accurate, I would like to call it the best manifesto of the year! Before Xia Ming brags about "Tianxia Power", why don't you transfer the school district house in Bangkok to the country first? Otherwise, I suggest you change your nationality and go to Tyrande to ask for help. Don't be hypocritical here, thank you!"

"Fuck, this is so funny! Cheng Cheng's quote 'International aid is not like a fly in the kitchen giving advice to a cook' is such a great metaphor. Cheng Cheng is so eloquent when he's arguing with people. I'm impressed!"

"Brother Frog is indeed the best substitute in the domestic entertainment industry. It feels so good to scold him! It makes me feel relaxed all over!"

"As expected, there are all kinds of people in the entertainment industry, including the Madonna who once accepted refugees."

"I doubt Xia Ming can understand this article."

"Why don't you let Xia Ming get some treatment for his brain? I'll raise two dollars from crowdfunding."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Frog. Teaching is very tiring."

"Even if Xia Ming's fans had the guts, they wouldn't dare to scold Cheng Cheng for trying to gain traffic and being sarcastic about the artist!"

"That's right, Xia Ming's fans are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Nilu Kezi did nothing wrong, and she should play hard to her!"

"I really saw the trending search, it's a speechless incident, I really strongly hope that they ban it!"

"Brother Frog is right. I really don't know what to say. He has a low level of education, but he should have some emotional intelligence, right? With this level of education and nonsense, he is really not suitable to be an influential public figure."

"What's outrageous is that my roommate said that his original intention was to help the people in distress, and it was all because of the marketing account that was trying to lead the trend. I was speechless."

"Damn it, it has to be Brother Frog!"

"Xia Ming's fans are still washing their hands. Why can't they express their opinions on zz? Hahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Why do they express their opinions? Hahahahaha"

"In fact, it's good for artists to post on Weibo themselves, so they can detect and treat the disease early."

"《I won't mention your name. That's right, it's you - Xia Ming!》

"The most amazing thing about Xia Ming is that he can always turn himself into a joke"

"Like a fly in the kitchen, watching the chef cook, it thinks it can cook, too"

I really want to punch him to death

"Even Lü Zhuofeng was influenced by me and became more humane. We have a pretty good relationship now."

"Looks like a shrewd but confused person"

"Of course, if it were me, it would be a different story."

"When you see someone making fun of my overalls, do I get angry? No? Why does Xia Ming act like he has paronychia when he hears this joke?"

I am dying of laughter. How can I keep laughing when there are so many funny moments in one article?!"

"Even Lü Zhuofeng was influenced by me and became more humane. Lü Zhuofeng had no choice but to be blamed. Hahahaha, Director Lu is so miserable."

"Today's Humiliation (1/1)"

"'Looks like a man who is very shrewd but doesn't understand' really makes me laugh!"

"The paronychia joke is so funny too, haha! They are both celebrities, why is there such a big difference between the two of them?"

"Xia Ming, this sand is sheltered from the wind!"

Cheng Cheng's public attack on Xia Ming caused a big stir. The related topics on major platforms remained hot, and hot search terms appeared one after another. Soon, everyone in the domestic entertainment industry knew about it. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cheng Cheng was obviously venting his anger on his own artist. Many people laughed at Xia Ming's stupidity:

It would be fine if he just made idiotic remarks, but how could he be so stupid as to guide his fans to attack artists under Cheng Cheng?

Do you really think Cheng Cheng has a good temper?
Do you really think myths are easy to be bullied?
How dare you?

Wasn’t it enough that Cheng Cheng had dealt with him?

Dijing.

When Lu Zhuofeng saw Cheng Cheng's Weibo post mentioning him, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He felt like he was sitting at home and a pot came out of nowhere:
No, what does this have to do with me? You can scold Xia Ming if you want, why do you mention me? I'm very honest now, okay?

But when Cheng Cheng said that he wanted to ask him to be a director, he became excited again.
At the same time, Xia Ming, the person involved, became furious after seeing the Weibo post by Cheng Cheng!

why?
Cheng Cheng!

you tell me!

Why do you always suppress me?
Why do you always ruin my plans?

It was clearly your artist who was causing trouble for me first this time, and now you are turning around and scolding me!

Why? ! !
Xia Ming smashed everything he could see in the room and started with a battle cry:

“Cheng Cheng, you deserve to die!”

"I hate you!"

"I hate you!"

Listening to Xia Ming's angry scolding, the agent Wang Jie laughed happily in her heart. (End of this chapter)
