Chapter 237 Retirement and public opinion!
Soon, Chen Liang posted a video on his short video account, detailing his entire journey of deciding to retire from the competition and the circle.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Liang. Today I decided to withdraw from the Will-O-Wisp Youth Challenge. I also announced that I will quit the motorcycle circle forever. A real man keeps his word!
“As for why I dropped out of the circle, the direct reason is very simple, it’s because of this challenge.
“I was originally very confident in my driving skills, but after coming to this competition, I realized that there are many people who are better than me.
"Don't say that this is just a game. You can't simulate real motorcycle driving skills with just a controller. But anyone with a real eye knows that if a real expert is familiar with the operation of a simulation game, it should be easy for ordinary players. It's right to attack.
“Even if technology is put aside, professional racing drivers’ ability to read and understand the track, control the vehicle, and react instantaneously should be far superior to ordinary people.
“I’ve only heard of professional drivers running simulators to reduce dimensionality, but I’ve never heard of simulator masters going to the track to beat professional drivers.
“But what frustrates me is that I’m really not as good as an average pub player in this game!
"Many fans asked me to go to the track to compete, but I didn't go. Because at that time I still had the idea of deceiving myself. Although I admitted that I couldn't compare with those top professional players, I was definitely much better than ordinary people. .
“So, my video content is basically on public roads.
"But this competition ruthlessly shattered all my illusions. It turns out that my level is at the bottom even among ordinary people. The reason why I can become an Internet celebrity and gain a large number of fans by relying on motorcycle content is also It's not because of how good my skills are, it's just because I'm risking my life. People look at me like I'm watching a monkey.
"If a car accident like the one in the Ghost Fire Youth Challenge happened in reality, I would probably be hopeless.
"I recalled the past when I was drag racing, and there were some dangerous shots. I originally thought it was because of my good skills, and I even enjoyed the feeling of jumping around in the minefield, but now, I suddenly realized that those times The brush with death was actually not fundamentally different from the crash in the Will-O-Wisp Youth Challenge.
"Some people may think that one is reality and the other is a game; but I know that one is luck and the other is inevitable.
“The fact that I can survive until now is actually the result of luck.
“The fundamental reason why I decided to retire is that this competition allowed me to make a lot of summaries and reflections on my life.
"My parents have been trying to persuade me before, but I always refused to listen. But now, I suddenly want to go home and accompany my parents like ordinary people, and fulfill my filial piety as an adult, instead of letting them worry about me every day. .
“I know that on the track of motorcycle Internet celebrities, there will be too many people to follow, because there will always be attention to such dangerous behavior, there will always be a market, and naturally there will never be a shortage of people who want to take the cake.
“But I also tell everyone from my own personal experience, don’t do this.
"Don't ride a motorcycle to chase the high-speed train, don't tilt your head on the road, don't slip and overtake at will, don't bomb the street... If you are really confident in your driving skills, then go run the track or take part in a professional motorcycle show.
"You do these things on public roads and gain followers, thinking you are cool, but you don't know that in the eyes of the public, you are just SB!"
…
As soon as this video came out, it instantly attracted the attention of countless netizens!
During this period, there has been a lot of heat surrounding "Road Rage Simulator". Whether it is the attack of the navy or the Will-O-Wisp Youth Challenge held by two major anchors, they have added a lot of fuel to this topic and made it more popular. The flames burned even brighter.
The topic of "motorcycle internet celebrities quit racing and quitting the circle" perfectly confirmed the discussion of many players during this period, and instantly sparked heated discussions!
Of course, it was Chen Liang who left the circle, which surprised many people.
Because in the motorcycle circle, although Chen Liang has made some outrageous actions and filmed some content suspected of dangerous driving, he is still considered a relatively normal one among the weird motorcycle Internet celebrities.
At least his driving skills are good, and the number of dangerous driving incidents is relatively small.
Looking at other motorcycle internet celebrities, what kind of monsters are they?
Take Zhuang Xiaoyu and Goudan who participated this time, for example, their results were directly at the bottom, which makes people wonder, so-called motorcycle Internet celebrities, 10% off water bottles?
What's more, almost all other motorcycle internet celebrities have big jobs, such as driving without a license, riding on the road without a helmet, racing in JK skirts, driving in the wrong direction, turning heads on public roads, chasing high-speed trains at high speeds...
Only netizens can’t think of it, but they can’t do it without them.
Compared with these real will-o'-the-wisp young men who committed suicide, Chen Liang actually looked a bit more handsome.
Therefore, it is really surprising that he became the first Internet celebrity to withdraw from the circle during this controversy.
However, if you look closely at Chen Liang's speech, you will find that it is actually quite reasonable.
"I didn't expect that Brother Liang, who has the best skills, was the first one to withdraw from the circle..."
"Unexpected, but reasonable. Precisely because Brother Liang has the best skills, he must be the first to wake up."
"Brother Liang is right. The so-called motorcycle Internet celebrities are nothing more than earning this desperate money. Why don't you go to the track and participate in real motorcycle racing competitions? Why not do special motorcycle stunts? Because you don't Do you like it? To put it bluntly, I’m still a loser. I don’t have that ability at all, so I can only do dangerous driving on public roads as a gimmick.”
"Yes, the Internet celebrity who rode a motorcycle to chase the high-speed train some time ago was said by many idiot fans to be the 'brave champion of the three armies', but is he really brave? Who knows a little bit about driving skills, who can't twist the accelerator in a straight line? But everyone knows that this is dangerous driving, so they just don’t do it. Since when has courage been equated with committing suicide?”
"This is how the ignorant are fearless."
"In this way, this Will-O-Wisp Youth Challenge is really a great meritorious event!"
"Yes, without this competition, Brother Liang probably wouldn't have woken up so quickly. Many motorcycle celebrities are either blindly confident in their driving skills, or superstitious about their luck. But this competition directly put their fig leaf behind It’s all opened up, and it also allows them to put themselves in their shoes and think about it, what would it be like if the scenes in the game really happened in reality?”
“Will other internet celebrities also withdraw from the competition?”
"That's disgusting. Brother Liang can understand this because he is the smarter and more reasonable among these motorcycle Internet celebrities, and he does not engage in many dangerous driving behaviors. But other Internet celebrities? They are terminally ill and have no Save, it’s already like that in reality, and it’s probably hard for a mere game to stop them.”
"But no matter what, this competition actually has certain warning and educational significance!"
"You can't save the damn ghost, but people who don't deserve to die, maybe they can be saved by this game!"
"So this Ghost Fire Youth Challenge is not actually promoting dangerous driving, but it is using this method to show everyone the dangers of dangerous driving? Especially those motorcycle gangs!"
"Heilong and Tingquan are actually on the fifth floor??"
…
Chen Liang’s video has indeed changed public opinion a lot!
Of course, just one video is not enough, there are also other phenomena as evidence.
For example, during the past few days of the Will-O-Wisp Youth Challenge, almost all the motorcycle internet celebrities stopped updating because they all came to participate in this challenge!
After all, the reason why these motorcycle celebrities drive dangerously is mainly for the popularity; and now, the popularity of the Ghost Fire Youth Challenge is the highest, which is much higher than their racing in reality.
They don't have to deal with the heat.
At the same time, there is no phenomenon that other people imitate this dangerous driving behavior in reality.
In other words, the Will-O-Wisp Youth Challenge held online this time not only did not worsen the real traffic environment, nor did it cause more dangerous driving behaviors, it actually improved the traffic environment!
It can be said that those Internet celebrities who originally liked to act like monsters in reality have been locked into the Internet with their popularity, which is a great merit!
What's more, there are special cases like Chen Liang who suddenly repented.
Public opinion online has gradually reversed.
No matter how dull passers-by are at this time, they should come to their senses. "Road Rage Simulator" is a virtual world after all. Many people say that the game has harmful inducements. Isn't it too far-fetched?
At present, it seems that not only is there no bad inducement, but it also has a warning effect!
And once this kind of public opinion gradually takes shape, even if the trolls with ulterior motives want to force the rhythm, it will be basically impossible!
Yesterday, two author friends came to Jinan for a interview. They drank a little bit in the evening. As a result, they didn't sleep well all night. They woke up three or four times. Today's second chapter will be a little later.
