On a Monday full of work burnout, the appearance of an emoticon made people spend a happy fishing afternoon.
What happened is probably like this: At the 94th Academy Awards Gala on March 28, Will Smith, with his excellent acting skills in “King Richard”, is very hopeful to be popular in Benedict Cumberbatch, Garfield, and Denzel. Washington won this year’s Best Actor in a fierce competition.

This was supposed to be a joy, until Oscars host Chris Rock took to the stage to tease Smith’s wife, Jada Koren Pinkett-Smith, by saying that Jada looks bald like “GI Jane 2” (“GI Jane” host).
Jada Koren Pinkett-Smith in the audience looked embarrassed, and Will Smith also restrained his smile.
Then came the Oscar’s biggest famous scene: Will Smith walked up all the way with calm steps, stood in front of the host, slapped him with a slap, and then walked back calmly.
capital embarrassing
There was an uproar downstairs.
Hitting someone is definitely not right. Especially when a well-known public figure stood on a grand stage like the Oscars and made the wrong and outrageous operation of “hitting people in public”, everyone was stunned.
And then, the topic of “Will Smith beating incident” quickly spread and fermented in various media and communities.

Those who haven’t seen the Oscar scene may be a little puzzled. Why was Will Smith who hit someone not condemned by netizens?
In fact, the ridiculed Jada Koren Pinkett-Smith suffers from severe hair loss, but she does not feel inferior (but also depressed), and even made a video to encourage people who have the same troubles as her.
Therefore, it is extremely disrespectful for Chris Rock to ridicule such a woman’s physical defects.
Will Smith hit back at this disrespectful remark with a nice straight punch. Confirmed that he is the best interpreter of the role of boxing champion Ali.
Some people appear to be “King Richard” on the surface, but they are “Ali” behind the scenes
Will Smith, who returned to his seat, also said loudly: “keep my wife’s name out of your f*cking mouth”, showing his love for his wife.
So Will Smith’s seemingly reckless approach this time is actually very firm in the hearts of netizens. Who doesn’t like a man who has the courage to protect his family.
And when Will Smith took the stage to accept the award later, he also explained his behavior just now, “Sometimes love can make people make crazy actions.”
Apologised, but not to Rock
Then again, many people say that this is a script specially arranged by the Oscar Organizing Committee?
After all, the number of viewers of Oscar in the past few years can be said to be a terrible word, and there is an urgent need for some program effects to pull back the viewership rate…
Someone on Twitter gave the number of viewers for the Oscars, which fell year by year. Last year, it was less than 10 million. This year, the audience was only in the early 9 million, but Will Smith punched another 8 million…
Look at this straight upward curve
However, there were also famous scenes at the Oscars in the past, such as misrepresenting the winners list, streaking, fans making troubles, etc., and more of them were some personal blogs.

Afterwards, some Oscar staff members also appeared on Twitter to say that there was no “going on stage to beat people” in the rehearsal the day before.
“It was real,” it was.
“not interrupted by” means “(speaking) was not interrupted”
The British DailyMail also used the headline “joke was NOT pre-vetted during rehearsals”.
It’s all about implying that Chris Rock’s shitty jokes are his own idea.
And the “initiator” of this farce, Chris Rock, is also a person with a “conviction”.
At the 88th Oscar in 2016, this guy made a joke about Asians. He pulled 3 Asian children in suits from the backstage and said that they were accountants for themselves: “They sent the most dedicated , the most accurate and hardest job representation.” (Stereotypes of Asians: Good at Math, Hard-headed).
Then he said that the mobile phones of everyone present were also made by these children (child labor + cheap assembly factory), the audience burst into laughter, and the three children stood dumbfounded on stage.
These remarks were immediately opposed by Asian directors and actors, and NBA star Jeremy Shu-How Lin even reposted the article on Facebook: “If Oscar has diversity, why do you make such cruel jokes to Asians?
It was also at this Oscars ceremony that Chris teased Smith’s wife Jada, because none of the shortlisted filmmakers at the time were black, so as soon as Chris came on stage, he joked about this year’s Oscars in the form of a talk show.
Although he said it in a humorous way, the racism in his words made the white actors in the audience laugh.
In view of the situation at the time, there were also many black actors boycotting the Oscars, including Jada. Chris said that Jada was accidentally boycotting the Oscars, saying that Jada’s name was combined with “nigga”.
I think everyone knows what the word “Nigga” means to black people. If it was replaced by other people, they would have been scolded by angry black groups for being inexhaustible.
And Chris Rock escaped as a “poison talk show performer”.
In fact, “venomous talk show performers” like him are very common in the United States.
The talk show first originated from the cafe culture of gathering speeches in England. In 1954, The Tonight Show of NBC TV in the United States was launched and was well received, which made the talk show popular in the United States.
The biggest feature of talk show jokes is that they are very critical, criticizing culture, language, politics, religion, etc., and seeing what is unpleasant and what is random.
But with the popularity of the “Talk Show” column, more and more people joined it. While growing, it was inevitably coerced by capital, and the talk show performance gradually lost its original flavor and became a grandstanding show.
Take Chris Rock’s talk show for example, what’s critical besides bad jokes?
Talk show performers with the label “poisonous words” can make jokes about others, they can make fun of other people’s wives for the sake of jokes, they can provoke racism for the sake of jokes, and they can provoke confrontation between men and women for the sake of jokes. When someone asks him, he can Say, “It’s just a talk show.”
It seems that there is a shield of “poisonous talk show”, and what you say will not be condemned.
It can be seen that such “poisonous words” are more common in jokes between old friends, or discovering or pointing out mistakes, etc… But what’s the point of joking about a person’s physical defects?
Yes, it’s OK, but whoever says it needs to be on occasion.
Take a netizen’s sentence, “If the person you are joking with feels offended, then your sentence is not a joke.”
I just want to say “Nice job!” to Will Smith to people who want to “talk” offended people with the excuse of a talk show.
