Jiang Tian has bright eyes. Facing the host's sharp questions, she remained calm and composed, appearing as if she had everything under control.

The questions asked by the other party were relatively aggressive.

From another perspective, the host wasn't wrong either.

Jiang Tian suddenly returned to the entertainment industry and immediately released a new album. The efficiency was so high that perhaps someone behind the scenes had done everything for her. She only needed to sing and record, and didn't need to worry about anything else.

The problem is that Jiang Tian was known as a singer-songwriter back then, and songwriting was one of her major strengths.

If she buys the song from someone else this time and only performs it herself, then the audience's expectations will drop.

Seeing Jiang Tian being questioned, Liu Qianqian, who was standing to the side, showed an expectant smile.

The rivalry between the two in the entertainment industry is well-known. Many viewers tuned in to this live broadcast specifically to witness their clash.

Seeing this, many people showed expressions of excitement.

Another segment of the audience watching this program consists of gamers.

As a central figure in the game, everything Jiang Tian does during this period is under scrutiny.

Seeing that she dared to appear on this kind of live interview program, some curious players quickly spread the news in the game, calling on their friends to watch.

Quite a few people actually went to see it.

Joining in the fun is in the nature of some people.

They didn't expect that the host's first question would be directed at them, the gamers.

What did they do to deserve this?

Everyone was looking forward to Jiang Tian's answer.

[Yi Wang Shu Yue: I guess she'll side with the public. In other people's eyes, isn't playing games just a low-level pastime? As a celebrity, if she openly supports games, she might attract negative attention.]

[The inescapable bad mood: Yeah, I also think she'll side with the host. After all, our game was really mean to her, they criticized her so harshly, it's understandable that she'd chime in with a few curses.]

[Turtledove Tree: Whatever, let's see what she says.]

Many people believe that Jiang Tian will stand on the opposite side of game players.

She herself was heartbroken by this game, so there's no need for her to speak well of them anymore.

But to their surprise, Jiang Tian never did things the way they expected.

Looking directly at the host, Jiang Tian slightly curled the corners of her lips: "Don't you usually play games?"

The host guessed she would ask him this question and smiled as well: "No, I don't play. I have a family and children, I'm so busy, where would I find the time to play games? I have to work hard for my job, playing games doesn't align with my values."

Jiang Tian nodded: "So, in your opinion, playing games will make people lose their fighting spirit, including those e-sports players, is that true?"

"You're just twisting the facts. Esports players play games to bring glory to their country. Do you play games to bring glory to your country? Sometimes, being a little more thin-skinned might make you more morally upright."

The more impolite the host was, the louder the applause from the audience became.

That's just how they are; they enjoy seeing celebrities make fools of themselves.

"I can't reach the level of an esports player, I'm just asking you this question. Since you know that esports players are an exception, then the idea that playing games leads to the loss of one's ambition doesn't apply, unless in your mind that esports players are not human."

The host's expression changed slightly: "So you want to argue with me? The world is still mostly populated by the general public. For them, playing games is nothing more than wasting time. The phrase 'playing games leads to the loss of ambition' is not wrong here."

"Then remember to add a condition, saying that esports players are excluded. Otherwise, with so many players, aren't you afraid of being criticized for denying it outright? Of course, I won't criticize you. I believe in persuading people with reason."

She said "persuade with reason"—that's a really funny phrase.

She was just making excuses.

Viewers gradually discovered that Jiang Tian was not quite what they had imagined.

I thought that since she's almost 40, she should be a humble person. After all, she's re-entering the entertainment industry, and she has to please the audience to gain their support.

Judging from her demeanor, she doesn't care about any of that at all; she's completely arrogant.

"In your eyes, playing games is a waste of time and energy, but games are not banned, so why is that? Does society encourage people to lose their fighting spirit? Your view is really too extreme."

The host's expression changed.

“I think many of you here have played games. Playing games is just a way to relax. In this fast-paced, highly stressful society, many people have times when they feel breathless. For them, games are nothing more than a kind of tranquilizer to get rid of anxiety and life’s difficulties, so that they can move forward with big strides after a period of rest.”

"A person with fighting spirit would never be addicted to games, and a person who is truly unable to extricate themselves is not a promising talent. So many people in ancient times were ruined by playing games, but there were no games back then. You can't blame everything on games; what did they do to deserve this?"

Jiang Tian's reasoning was quite twisted, but surprisingly, it was impossible to refute.

The host wasn't going to take this lying down, and he quickly found another point: "I don't care about others, after all, the person I'm asking today is you. Back then, you were affected by some unexpected events, fled the first-tier city, went to a remote small town to play games, spent tens of millions on in-game purchases, and even grew to 180 pounds. Isn't that a sign of self-degradation?"

"Yes," Jiang Tian answered frankly.

The host was momentarily speechless.

He originally thought Jiang Tian would try to argue her way out of it.

“I did choose self-exile. You can see what self-exiled people do just by looking at the news. I haven’t harmed the public or the community. I’ve chosen to stay alone in my rented room playing games, not doing anything that would endanger public safety, and not disturbing your lives. So what right do you have to judge me?”

Jiang Tian's words were very provocative, which also provoked the host's anger.

Most of the celebrities who appear on this show are quite concerned about their image and speak very restrainedly. He is always the one who takes the lead.

This time, however, he encountered a guest who wouldn't back down. He had previously harbored some ill will towards this guest, so he was determined not to let her off the hook.

"I'm not judging you, but I'm worried that your past state has affected your current state, and that your creative ability has been worn down by your long-term self-imposed exile. You know, if a person's talent is not used for a long time, it will soon be taken away by God. So can you answer this: are all the songs on your new album written by yourself?"

The host's roundabout approach led him back to square one.

He won at least once because he forced Jiang Tian to admit that she had been in self-exile for those years.

So from another perspective, she did indeed waste a lot of precious time—which is evidence that her creative ability may be declining or even disappearing.
