Chapter 465: The Rich Man's Battle (2)

It is another hot summer. After the two long-running programs "The Great Cook" and "Searching for Hometown Stories" opened the door to a new world for Hong Kong people, Su Yun finally returned to the variety show stage with another new program that she had been preparing for a long time.

Although Su Yun's reputation is mixed outside, there is no doubt that she is more praised than criticized in Hong Kong - given the superstitious nature of Hong Kong people, except for those with conflicting interests, basically everyone likes to put one or two photos of the "wealthy woman" on their altar...

So this time, after the name "Rich Man Fight" was released, many people subconsciously ignored a few of the words and focused on the word "rich man".

If we add the "Big Operation" to the mix... Is the rich girl going to teach us the secret to getting rich? !

From the eager anticipation when the name of the program was first revealed, to the program's content claiming that it would allow several social elites with a certain amount of assets to experience life at the bottom and change their "poor status", to the early release of the trailer -

"In fact, poverty is not terrible. What is terrible is being content with the status quo."

“You are not poor, but you are not working hard enough and don’t know how to think about the future. Accumulating wealth requires time and luck, but most people are unlikely to have the luck to become rich overnight. So the only thing we can do is to work hard over time, one generation, two generations, three generations… Just like climbing a ladder, we climb up one level at a time.”

"Some people say, I have tried very hard, but I just can't see hope... Actually, it's not like that. Only enough quantitative changes can cause qualitative changes at a certain moment. If you look at it this way, the next day or the next week may not change, but what about the next year? What about the next generation?"

"There are actually two sides to the view of things. In difficult situations, some people will feel hopeless, while others will still hold on to hope. In my opinion, no matter what situation you are in, you need to try your best to mobilize your positive emotions and work hard towards your goals with hope, so that there will be better possibilities..."

"In this world, hard work always pays off, and fighting spirit can change your destiny."

At the beginning of the program, this group of invited social elites, regardless of their reputation in the community, all possessed everything that the lower-class people admired.

Even a "spendthrift" like Yang Qilong, who was known for being bad at studying but good at eating, drinking and having fun, had received a good basic education, not to mention top students like He Pingsi and Xu Junkeng who graduated from prestigious schools.

In addition to the young men from wealthy families, Su Yun also included several top middle-class people who are about to become wealthy. These people are really on the surface - no matter what the truth is, at least on the surface they have indeed built their empire with their own hands, and climbed to their current position through their own efforts and various factors.

They are all very confident about their performance in this program: although this program has strict rules that one cannot use one's own cash, credit cards or connections to take shortcuts, with their IQ and EQ that have enabled them to thrive in society, even if they "fall to the bottom" for a while, won't they be able to rise again quickly with their own intelligence and talents?

Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, just like what Rockefeller, the first billionaire on earth, said: Even if I were stripped of all my clothes and placed in a deserted desert, as long as a caravan passed by, I would become a millionaire again!

No matter how difficult the external factors are, they cannot stop capable people!

Isn't it that the reason why the poor people at the bottom of society are poor is because they don't work hard enough?

Those who are capable and wise can change their destiny no matter what kind of predicament they are in.

I have to say that this kind of argument, "Don't blame the world for being difficult, just blame yourself for not working hard enough," can really affect people's thinking, making people start to "reflect" on themselves, wondering if it is really the same as what is said here, that not working hard enough is the reason why they are trapped in the current situation.

Even He Pingsi, who had been vaccinated by Su Yun early on, had this thought in mind before she officially entered the area where the lower-class people lived and filmed her first round of reflections in the studio built by the TV station.

After filming this round, Su Yun didn’t say much: Anyway, when they experience the hardships of life firsthand, and then recall their “high and mighty” thoughts at this time, the slapping effect will be really refreshing…

Su Yun is a professional in commercial creation, so she knows how to better tickle the audience's desires and satisfaction. Therefore, the opening scene of Rich Man Fight was shot with "full of hope", "ambition", and "passion"...

Especially the scene where a group of seemingly wealthy and capable social elites look down upon the area where the lower class people live. It is almost full of blockbuster feeling, as if just one glance at it can instantly make people imagine a series of thrilling dramas.

An elite who has temporarily fallen to the bottom of society, relies on his own abilities and wisdom to slap the faces of all those who look down on him, and then returns to the top through hard work and seizing opportunities... This kind of story, which starts with suppression and then moves forward step by step, is simply awesome!

Therefore, under Su Yun's deliberate guidance and the current vision and thinking being limited by the times, this "Rich Man Fighting" became popular before it was aired, and the attention level has soared to a peak since the news was released. It can be said to be the most watched program of the year, even TBB's Taiwan anniversary drama has been overshadowed.

For this reason, some people with good intentions even interviewed Zhao Lizhong, who was directing a TV drama for the first time this year, and asked him provocatively how he felt about his sister's show stealing most of the attention.

Looking at the faces of these people who were trying their best to watch the good show, Zhao Lizhong finally suppressed the ancient power in his body, and replied with a smile that they were all from his own family, and Su Yun's program and his program were produced from The concepts and expected goals are different, so it will definitely not hurt the harmony between relatives...

So the next day's newspapers and magazines immediately published a big headline: "Faced with the little sister's dominance, the second young master Zhao admitted defeat"!

Coupled with his fake smile because he was too annoyed with these people, and the small words next to it that he made up on his own about the brother and sister being at odds with each other, it really opened up a lot of imagination.

Zhao Lizhong was so angry after seeing this that he called Su Yun early in the morning and kept saying that he didn't mean that and that it was just that group of people who were talking, writing and making up stories.

At that time, Su Yun was squatting on a small stool at the door of the food stall, eating sausage noodles for breakfast. After humming and coaxing her spoiled second brother, she spoke a few words to the familiar reporters next to her, asking them to help her promote the show and pay attention to the public debate or something.

This kind of public debate is a good opportunity for everyone to take sides and speculate. The reporters immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating that they knew what to do.

They rose to fame by following Su Yun's life and events at home and abroad, and they can be considered "old partners" with whom they have cooperated for many years. Recently, Su Yun has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, received a cold reception at the Oscars, and has a big-budget movie and a new variety show about to be aired, which is enough to keep them in business for a while.

Su Yun has always been so "know-how-doing", so of course they are even more "know-how-doing".

As expected, after returning, this group of reporters began to engage in passionate debates with those monsters who had caused trouble before, while at the same time broadcasting the latest updates on Su Yun, which was very enjoyable for the crowd.

Of course, most of the pleasure in reality is the joy of successfully eating melons; only those images on TV that look very real, and are actually shot on location, making the people recording the program really suffer, can make people feel refreshed from the bottom of their hearts!

There are always very few people who help others in times of need; there are always countless people who take pleasure in other people's misfortunes!

Watching this group of social elites who are usually out of reach, picking up garbage, cleaning toilets, sleeping on the streets, living in caged houses, and other daily life of the lower class, the "refined" appearance that they have managed to maintain is gradually broken...the feeling of turning over a new leaf is really incomparable!

But as it was fun, this "life experience" program of exchanging living environment and identity started to seem a little bit weird?

Watching the images on TV, some people with a keen sense of touch may gradually sense the "truth" of this program -

When people have to spend a lot of time just trying to survive, it is difficult for them to have the energy and spare time to think about the future.

Because at that time, even rest was a luxury.

Are the poor people at the bottom of society really so stupid that they can't tell the difference between good and bad?

No, most of them can tell the difference, and they are not stupid, but they just don’t have the energy to lean towards the “good” direction.

Just like in some places with good welfare, in order to alleviate poverty, the next year's seeds will be distributed to farmers for free, but those seeds often do not make it to the second year because they are sold or eaten by farmers who live in difficult circumstances for various reasons.

When the current predicament cannot be escaped, one can only drink poison to quench thirst, tear down the east wall to repair the west wall to deal with the emergency, just to hold on for a while longer to the crumbling pressure on the head, and not to fall down and crush all life.

If you encounter any unexpected situation, such as acute illness, natural disaster or man-made disaster, it will be even more difficult to turn things around by your own efforts alone.

"When I really experienced the life of the lower class, I found that most of them were already working very hard. I only did this kind of work for two days, and I was already exhausted physically and mentally. And once I finished the work, I couldn't think of anything else..."

"I don't know what the next day, next week, next year, or next generation will be like, because I simply don't have the ability or the ability to think that far ahead. The only thing I can think about and do now is to use all my strength to ensure that I can have a full meal."

“It turns out that in this world, hard work may not always lead to a way out, and efforts may not always be rewarded, and fighting spirit may not necessarily change your destiny… It is really important to understand that society is not easy, and the pit of poverty is also very difficult and may not be eliminated.”

"It's not that they didn't work hard or didn't work hard enough, but that they have tried their best..."

"But this can only maintain their 'survival', but cannot guarantee their 'life'."

Looking at the second reflections in the middle of the experience, the faces that were handsome and energetic when I first saw them became haggard in just a few days under the double pressure of heavy physical labor and hard life.

Those who had previously laughed and rejoiced at the tragic scene of the social elite and the proud sons of heaven falling into misfortune, at this moment, finally fell into a state of confusion and growing panic.
