Recently, Academician Wang Zhizhen had a rather embarrassing scene when he participated in the CCTV program "Let's Talk". Despite his elaborate makeup, well-dressed clothes, and even meticulous hair, it was surprising that this leader in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology found that the soles of his shoes had fallen from the slag, and the black debris fell wherever he went.
After the host Sa Beining found out about this situation, he held up the black debris to express his incredulity, and praised the greatness of the scientist again and again, thinking that Academician Wang Zhizhen must have no time to take care of these trivial things because he was busy with research. This heart-warming solution not only resolved the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene, but also made the audience admire Academician Wang Zhizhen even more.
However, this heartwarming scene did not fully continue in front of the TV. After the show aired, some netizens questioned whether the slag of leather shoes was just a performance, thinking that the program team may have deliberately designed it to create a topic. There was a polarization of the comments, forming two factions of attitudes.
Why do netizens have polarized views on this matter? Is it just because a pair of shoes have fallen off the soles that cause a crisis of trust between people?
During the recording of the show, Sa Beining looked at the black slag that always appeared on the stage inexplicably, and felt very puzzled. After careful observation, it was found that these black debris fell from Academician Wang Zhizhen's leather shoes.
When Academician Wang Zhizhen also noticed that there was a problem with his shoes, he suddenly looked very embarrassed and said self-deprecatingly: "I came here to look foreign." In order to ease the atmosphere, Sa Beining held the black debris and said that this was not a foreign appearance, but the best praise for scientists, because it showed how much effort and energy Academician Wang Zhizhen usually put into research, so that he would not have time to take care of these small things.
After hearing Sa Beining's explanation, the audience was moved and expressed their respect for Academician Wang Zhizhen with thunderous applause. However, this heartwarming scene sparked a heated debate online.
After the program was broadcast, some netizens expressed their agreement with Sa Beining's views, believing that Academician Wang Zhizhen is a model of modern scientists, devoting himself to scientific research and disregarding his personal situation, which is very admirable. On the other hand, it has also been suggested that this may be a pair of shoes that have not been worn for a long time and are only used on special occasions, but they did not expect the shoes to deteriorate due to too much time, which led to this situation.
However, another part of netizens expressed doubts about this scene, thinking that this might be a "show", because Academician Wang Zhizhen's usual image is very carefully dressed, how could he ignore the situation of slag in shoes? Some netizens even accused CCTV of deliberately setting up this plot in the program to cause heated discussions. They believe that the fact that the broadcaster could choose to edit the segment and actually show it to the audience shows that it was intentional.
Behind this turmoil of slag on the soles of shoes, there seems to be a long-standing crisis of trust. The balance between entertainment and authenticity in variety shows has always been in the spotlight, and this controversy has raised questions about whether there is excessive "fakeness" and deliberate hype in the production of variety shows.
Although the performance component of variety shows is not new to the audience, when a brilliant scientist is involved, especially when some seemingly real moments are questioned, people's expectations and disappointments for authenticity also follow. The controversy is not just about the slag of a pair of soles, but also triggers deep thinking about whether the entertainment industry should maintain the bottom line of authenticity and morality.
Some netizens agreed with Sa Beining's explanation, believing that the scientist's focus on research is a respectable quality. On the other hand, however, the skepticism is mainly focused on the authenticity of the situation on the spot. Some people pointed out that Academician Wang Zhizhen's usual image is exquisite, and it is unlikely that he did not notice the problem of the soles at the scene, and then thought that this was a well-designed performance. At the same time, some netizens accused CCTV and other ** platforms of deliberately exaggerating certain plots in variety shows in order to create topics and heat.
Much of this polarizing debate reflects public concerns about the authenticity of the entertainment industry. In modern society, information dissemination is becoming more and more developed, and the public is more eager for authentic and credible information and entertainment programs. The slightest misgiving, which can trigger questioning of the entire production team and participants, or even trigger a negative impact on the entire industry.
However, for Academician Wang Zhizhen, this controversy may become a flaw in his image in the public mind. Scientists are often respected for their research excellence and scholarly contributions, rather than for their personal appearance. This incident may have raised some doubts about the professional image of Academician Wang Zhizhen, although this should not be the main criterion for evaluating a scientist.
Overall, this turmoil of slag on the soles of shoes has sparked extensive discussions about the authenticity of variety shows, and also reminded the entertainment industry that authenticity and moral bottom line should not be sacrificed while pursuing fun. For viewers, maintaining a cautious and rational attitude towards entertainment content, as well as understanding the contributions of scientists, are more important aspects. At the same time, ** and variety show producers should also think about how to maintain authenticity while entertaining, so as to win the trust and respect of the audience.
