FWTS **Chapter 161: Tetris**
In today's rapidly booming Chinese variety show scene, the range of content has become extremely broad. From the initial imitation of Taiwan and South Korea to purchasing copyrights from around the world, and now more and more original local creations, there is a well-established variety show system in place.
During this development process, the variety shows of major satellite TV stations have also formed their own unique characteristics and styles. Among them, the five major satellite TV stations stand out the most. Mango TV promotes "happiness" and "joy," Tomato TV has quickly risen with comedy programs and talk shows, Beijing TV focuses on sports and mixed content, Blue Whale TV is known for its extravagance, and the uniquely styled Litchi TV follows a lifestyle and knowledge-based route.
When it comes to Litchi TV, the most popular program is undoubtedly "Super Brain," a large-scale scientific competition reality show. The show focuses on spreading knowledge about brain science and mental competitions, inviting scientists to explore the world of geniuses from a scientific perspective. Ultimately, the show selects participants to form the Chinese Super Brain Team to compete against international mental teams to determine the ultimate Brain King.
The show has received significant attention since its premiere, causing a great sensation. Many contestants have demonstrated extraordinary abilities, earning the admiration of ordinary people. Additionally, the show has brought more attention to mental sports and competitions.
"Super Brain" is now in its third season, and it has entered the final battle, the "International Match." Last night, the latest episode featured the highly anticipated China vs. Japan match in the International Match, resulting in Japan's Brain King Team winning 3:1 against the Chinese Brain King Team. China's side only managed to win one round, thanks to "Water Brother."
In last night's broadcast, several members of Japan's Brain King Team performed outstandingly, particularly a contestant named Beki Tano, who won three rounds against the Chinese contestants, earning a point for Japan. The competition project was highly entertaining, making Beki Tano an overnight sensation and showcasing his incredible skills. Consequently, many Chinese viewers recognized the diversity of mental sports.
Because of this, Beki Tano's comments on FK sparked considerable attention when screenshots of his remarks were posted on Weibo by netizens who had accessed the foreign platform.
"Who is this guy? There are plenty of people who say worse things on foreign sites, yet so many people are reposting this. I thought he was some celebrity!"
"Uh, isn't this the Japanese guy from last night's 'Super Brain'? He seemed so humble on the show, but offstage he's so arrogant!"
"Haha, typical Japanese—polite in person, arrogant behind your back."
"He just won one match, and now he's full of himself! Let's see him go head-to-head with Water Brother!"
"I watched last night's show too. This guy is indeed impressive, winning three rounds against our contestants, but I didn't expect his attitude to be so cocky!"
"What's the big deal! If your new anime hadn't flopped, you wouldn't have sent a monkey to compete. It's not our fault! Anime and mental sports are unrelated!"
"......"
"Wait a minute! Before you all start cursing, look at what his competition project was!"
"Hahahaha, let me laugh first!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Beki Tano, I thought Vegeta was coming for a fight! Turns out it was Tetris!"
"......I'm a bit confused. Did he win a point for Japan with Tetris? Don't underestimate Tetris. Once you watch it, you'll see how incredible it is!"
"You're confused because you don't know how this monkey 'debuted'! If the Japanese were challenging someone else, it might make sense, but they're challenging the monkey! When it comes to speed, the monkey has never been afraid of anyone! Plus, the first game the monkey played on his live stream was Tetris!"
"Hahaha, that's right! After watching last night's show and the monkey's live stream, in terms of speed, a hundred Japanese contestants can't beat the monkey!"
"......"
"Damn, who's so fast! They already posted the monkey's video online!"
"I'll send it to that guy!"
"Hahaha, a face-slap as quick as a tornado!"
"......"
There's never a shortage of people online who enjoy stirring up trouble, and many are idle and looking for some excitement. Coupled with the frustration many felt from yesterday's International Match, today they finally found an opportunity when a local Chinese comic made its debut in Japan. Suddenly, someone jumped out to mock it, and with the connection to yesterday's competition, Chinese netizens wouldn't let it go without making a fuss.
Many people in the domestic online community were sharing screenshots and discussing the matter, while others were climbing the firewall to confront Beki Tano directly on FK. Of course, there were those who @cloudmonkey1225, asking him to crush the arrogant Japanese contestant.
Naturally, some rational voices called for calm, analyzing the strengths of Hou Muyun's Tetris skills against Beki Tano's.
Regarding the latter's rational analysis, many believed that Hou Muyun's world record in "Rhythm Master" demonstrated his superior hand speed, which should easily surpass Beki Tano's.
Some argued that Hou Muyun's hand speed in his Tetris live stream was not significantly faster than Beki Tano's. They believed that Hou Muyun, being a singer, had an advantage in rhythm, while Tetris required more analysis, observation, and memory skills. In these aspects, Hou Muyun might be at a disadvantage compared to Beki Tano.
Thus, the outcome was hard to predict.
However, this rational analysis from Chinese netizens indirectly suggested that Hou Muyun might not win.
Nonetheless, such rational voices never prevail online. They were soon drowned out by other opinions. More and more people were @cloudmonkey1225, urging him to crush the Japanese contestant. Many believed that Hou Muyun's personality would definitely prompt him to respond!
Hou Muyun was naturally aware of these voices.
Even if he was busy making music in his studio, Fatty would tell him. Even if Fatty thought this matter could be ignored, the managers in their chat groups would inform him. Additionally, several celebrities had called to ask about it.
"You guys are really enjoying the drama!"
Hou Muyun, after answering several calls, said helplessly in a small circle's WeChat group: "I just heard about it. I don't even know the specifics yet. How can you say 'crush him'? Do I have to respond to every challenge? I'd be swamped. I'm working on music. I don't have time for this!"
