Huang Xiaobei is a university student in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. She first came into contact with bullet-screen(弹幕) comments when she was watching a Chinese movie. At that time, she couldn’t close the comments on the web page, so she was forced to watch them. However, after this experience, Huang Xiaobei considered this form of interaction to be very interesting. Like Huang Xiaobei, many college students find themselves interested in bullet-screen comments when watching videos.
86.43 percent of Chinese college students prefer the interaction with other viewers and enjoy bullet-screen comments when they watch videos; 75.13 percent of them believe that these comments can bring them happiness, according to a survey. A questionnaire(调查问卷) survey on “Generation Z bullet-screen comment culture” has interviewed among 1,976 college students across the country. Generation Z often refers to the generation that was born between 1996-2010. The survey results showed that 61.34 percent of the respondents(调查对象) often choose to enable the function of bullet-screen comments when watching videos. However, 38.66 percent prefer not to; the main reason is that these comments may obscure the pictures and affect the visual experience. Meanwhile, according to the survey, 67.27 percent of the young people regard bullet-screen comments as a way to express their views; 63.05 percent of them believe that the comments serve as a good supplement to the video content, and 53.19 percent of respondents express a belief that bullet-screen comments help them find like-minded people all over the world regardless of time and space.
After a certain period of development and changes, bullet-screen comments have been widely adopted by mainstream video websites, and become a way of interactive communication with a high degree of public acceptance and recognition, according to Professor Ma Zhonghong from Phoenix Communication College of Soochow University. “Now bullet-screen comments have been available for video programs on all major platforms,” said Professor Ma Zhonghong, adding that the comments have progressed from a simple tool initially to a unique culture.
