Taipei mayor candidate Shen Boyang accepted an exclusive interview with program producer Wang Weizhong on the 10th. His outstanding performance sparked heated discussions. Thanks to word-of-mouth among netizens, the number of views on the video also increased rapidly, exceeding 500,000 in one day. At about 8pm last night, it directly became the most viewed video on the channel. Regarding this, media person Wu Jingyi said, "In an exclusive interview, Shen Boyang broke the circle, Wang Weizhong became famous, and only Jiang Wanan is a coward"! Deep Blue Yanshang forced Zhao Shaokang to say, "Zhongguang invited him several times but he didn't come." When Shen dared to rush and Wang dared to chat, what on earth was Jiang Wanan still afraid of?

Wu Jingyi said in a Facebook post that an exclusive interview with Wang Weizhong unexpectedly revealed three completely different political personalities in the Taipei mayoral election. Shen Boyang knew that China Broadcasting Corporation was not in his stratosphere, but he still walked into the direct match, talking about municipal affairs from cross-strait to general recall; Wang Weizhong asked and interrupted fiercely in the first half, but was willing to listen in the second half. Even affirming Shen Boyang's policies, the program has nearly 700,000 views in a short period of time, and the search volume, news volume, and community total have reached nearly 10 million. Shen Boyang broke the circle, and Wang Weizhong also became popular again. Wang Weizhong was redefined as a senior media person who is willing to let people with different political stances sit down and talk, and can change his views after the discussion.

Wu Jingyi pointed out that the most embarrassing thing was Jiang Wanan. A large number of public opinion in the Blue Camp asked Wang Weizhong why he only invited Shen Boyang. Zhao Shaokang was eager to help explain, but unexpectedly said: "China Broadcasting Corporation has sent letters several times and even invited Jiang Wanan through various connections, but he has never agreed." Revealing the inner doubts of the Blue Camp, it turned out that it was not Wang Weizhong who did not visit Jiang, but Jiang Wanan himself who did not come!

Wu Jingyi continued to point out that what is even more ridiculous is that when Jiang Wanan faced the "ocean current" phenomenon yesterday, he actually replied: "I only feel full of new trends." This is not humorous, it is old-fashioned and boring. When you can't explain why citizens start to get close to Shen Boyang, you relabel everything as "DPP faction" and "new trend mobilization", and use the old blue-green hatred to deal with new political phenomena. This is the most tired of the terminology routines of the middle voters!

Wu Jingyi bluntly said that Shen Boyang is doing politics on the streets, but Jiang Wanan is still working as a model in the window! The mayor in the window may look good, but an election is not a draft. What does Taipei need? Is it a display or a leader? Wang Weizhong might have been just a medium used by Shen Boyang to "break the circle", but after the interview, Wang Weizhong himself was brought out by Shen Boyang into a new public image. Shen Boyang dared to break in, and Wang Weizhong dared to talk. Jiang Wanan, what are you still afraid of? He is simply a coward who embarrasses Deep Blue!

After DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang accepted an exclusive interview with senior producer Wang Weizhong, Internet celebrity lawyer Lin Zhiqun revealed that some supporters of the blue camp lamented that "it is a pity that it is not the Kuomintang." He also analyzed the talent cultivation problem of the Kuomintang, pointing out that the party's seniority ranking and emphasis on political families make it difficult for outstanding talents to develop. He believes that if Shen Boyang is in the Kuomintang, he may only be a second-generation assistant in power.
