Chapter 110 scary to the human eye

I met several cultural people from Taiwan, and they mentioned in the chat that the daughter of Bai Bingbing, Bai Xiaoyan, was kidnapped and torn up by kidnappers. There are also some reports on this vicious case in the mainland, and we have also noticed that This incident aroused the outrage among the people on the island that the Lee Teng-hui authorities could not guarantee law and order.First, there was a parade of 100,000 people, and people chanted the slogan "Give us a liveable Taiwan"; on May 11, "Mother's Day", many citizens of Taipei City spontaneously participated in Bai Xiaoyan's funeral ceremony, People sang Bai Bingbing's famous song "Yanzi, You Are Flying Away", pushing the tragedy on the island to the extreme amidst the crying.However, until I wrote this article, there was still no news that the Taiwanese police had apprehended the kidnappers.This can't help but make people worry about whether the "money first" ethos in Taiwan continues to be deduced like this. Is it possible to curb vicious crimes that are driven by money to the point of cruelty?Will the tragedy of Bai Bingbing and Bai Xiaoyan's mother and daughter repeat itself (in fact, similar incidents are already happening)?

Cultural people from Taiwan mentioned that during the outbreak of Bai Bingbing's case, some media in Taiwan actually played a very bad role. They "moved on hearing the wind" and completely ignored the safety of Bai Bingbing and Bai Xiaoyan's mother and daughter. Outside Bai Bingbing's house, she followed her everywhere, using high-tech means "armed to the teeth", hoping to "see every detail" of the kidnapper's extortion from Bai Bingbing.The kidnapper made an appointment with Bai Bingbing on the phone several times to meet somewhere at a certain time and pay the money back. If the kidnapper's request can be met as much as possible, at least the kidnapper will not tear up the ticket easily.The kidnappers were originally worried about Bai Bingbing's "collusion" with the police, and Bai Bingbing would rather put together the money and exchange it for her daughter to save her daughter's life.However, the "trouble" encountered by both Bai Bingbing and the kidnappers was not the police first, but the mass media.In this way, the kidnappers felt that "they can hide from the police but not the reporters", so they became furious and frantically tore up their tickets.A 17-year-old young girl with many talents has been sold out!During this period, Bai Bingbing begged and begged the media many times not to interfere, but which one would listen!When Bai Xiaoyan's shocking corpse was discovered, some media published it again, for fear of being "half behind" in stimulating readers' senses!Speaking of these situations, a cultural person from Taiwan said to me: Some media actually collaborated with the kidnappers in the crime, and they cannot absolve Bai Xiaoyan of being torn apart!

Why are some Taiwanese media so cruel?Are they really trying to kill Bai Xiaoyan deliberately?Of course, they didn't mean to be like this, but they did it like this!So, what are the factors driving them to do so?In fact, it is also very simple to say: in order to attract favor, in order to expand the circulation.Many newspapers and periodicals do not make more money by selling one more copy, and on the contrary, they would rather pay a little more for every more copy sold, that is, the price is lower than or even much lower than their printing cost--then why should they Pursuing circulation?Because newspapers (including other media) use advertisements to make money, especially the advertisements of large consortiums and large companies, and the reason why merchants spend money on advertising on you is that they value your circulation (coverage) Yes, if there are too many advertisements, the loss on the payment of "free subscription" is really insignificant!It is not surprising that the media are desperately pursuing circulation (coverage) in order to attract advertisements. The problem is, if this pursuit develops to the point of unscrupulous means, such as the case of Bai Bingbing, in order to win the sensation of exclusive "following reports" However, the effect of "suspense" puts the safety of the parties behind, but the "hidden situation" that is published "timely" can win a big "selling point" and increase its circulation and ratings. Promotion, this is indeed "seeking profit and forgetting righteousness" and working for a tiger! In Shanghai in the 1930s, a generation of famous actress Ruan Lingyu committed suicide in grief and indignation because of "people's words are terrible", which is still fresh in our memory.How many newspaper reporters at that time insisted on "killing people with words"?I'm afraid Ruan's suicide also made them "unpredictable"!Most of their original intention is to attract favor with "celebrity disputes" and "behind-the-scenes secrets".

At the end of the discussion with several cultural people in Taiwan, a more serious topic was brought up: when the media "stirred" and "explosive" news, it was true that they lost their rationality for the sake of "stink copper", but if ordinary citizens are not interested in this kind of hype, If you don't buy it very much, then the "crazyness" of the media may not have developed to the extent that "it is like colluding with the kidnappers to tear up votes".But it is very, very regrettable that it is not only in Taiwan Island, but in the whole world, and there is no denying that the mainland is no exception. The eyes of some readers and spectators are chasing strong and stimulating reports. The eyes that "see nothing but don't see" especially like to "preview" information such as the details of Bai Bingbing's negotiations with the kidnappers.If he or she walks to the newsstand, some newspapers do not have reports on the kidnapping case in the "present tense", some have reports on the kidnapping case, some are not detailed, and some are not only detailed but also "illustrated", then he or she probably Still have to buy the third newspaper!Therefore, the so-called "the media is like colluding with the kidnappers" is actually participated by many "watching the fun" spectators who are particularly enthusiastic about the third media. The eyes are terrible"!

A case about the kidnapping of Bai Bingbing’s mother and daughter in Taiwan not only aroused protests from the people of Taiwan against the authorities’ incompetence in law and order, but also raised concerns about the rampant brutality of the villains brought about by money worship and materialistic desires, while ordinary people lost the possibility of safe survival. Anxiety has led to resentment at the mass media's pursuit of the best interests under the commercial mechanism, and even "the same as colluding with criminals to murder". How can you be aware of your own human weakness, and don't become a cold-blooded spectator invisibly, or even indirectly "use your eyes to harm the good"!
