Tao Mu went straight back to the Feixun headquarters and asked the technical department to take screenshots of each contestant's voting data and send them to the official Feixun of the National School Flower and School Prince Selection Competition.
——Generally speaking, the organizers of talent shows will never publicly disclose the detailed data of contestants' backstage voting. This is because there are definitely tricks in the voting process of most talent shows, where more votes will be given to contestants supported by the official and those required by investors to ensure that these contestants will not be eliminated in the PK phase. In other words, players who refuse to sign a contract with the organizer must be eliminated in the PK phase to prevent these disobedient players from getting better results and squeezing out the resources of their own contracted players.
But Tao Mu didn't have this need. The fundamental purpose of his organizing this national school beauty and school hunk selection contest was to promote Feixun.com. What he cared about was the growth in the number of registered users of Feixun.com during the entire competition. As for who would win the title of National School Flower and National School Grass in the end, Tao Mu didn't care.
Therefore, if you have no desires and no demands, you will naturally be strong. Tao Mu dared to send out the detailed voting data of the voting session directly because he dared to guarantee that Feixun.com, as the organizer, had no tricks. As for whether some contestants had voted fraudulently during the voting period, and whether the background data released by Feixun.com had any impact on them, that was beyond Tao Mu's consideration.
After the voting data was announced on the official Feixun account of the National School Beauty and School Prince Selection Contest, Tao Mu called DB Accounting Firm again. Tao Mu had previously hired the DB audit team and people from the Yanjing Notary Office to notarize the National School Flower and School Grass Selection Competition.
The background data released by Tao Mu plus the triple clarification by the notary and auditors can definitely prove the innocence of Feixun.com to all netizens who are paying attention to this matter.
However, what surprised Tao Mu was that at the same time when he asked the technical department to retrieve the screenshots of the voting data and upload them to the official Feixun account of the program group, Shen Yu actually held a press conference to represent the Feixun website.
"...I don't think Tao Mu is the kind of person who would use his power for personal gain. I also don't believe that Feixun.com would deliberately interfere with the voting process of the finals at Tao Mu's suggestion. And I think Gu Xun, who won the National School Prince Award, is very good. Although Gu Xun is not as handsome as me, he has many talents, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is also the best actor in the 2007 Golden Crow Award. He is a senior whom I admire very much. I hope my fans will not doubt whether this excellent person has used any inappropriate means just because someone is better than me. After all, there are many people in this world who are better than me..."
Shen Yu's statement is, as always, full of subjectivity. However, it seems that because someone helped write the public relations draft, although this statement has a strong Shen Yu style throughout, there are not many flaws. Unrelated netizens didn't have much to complain about after hearing this. At most, they thought Shen Yu was extremely confident. However, it was also quite cute that Shen Yu could express his confidence so openly.
Even Gu Xun's fans and followers felt, after reading this statement, that although Shen Yu usually spoke in a very cryptic way, he was still clear-headed when faced with major events. At least he is not the kind of person who makes malicious speculations about others and cannot stand others spreading rumors with malicious intent.
Shen Yu's press conference was held at nine o'clock in the morning. Tao Mu asked Feixun.com's technical department to retrieve the screenshots of the backend data and send them to the front desk at 9:30 in the morning. Because there were tens of millions of netizens participating in the voting, it took Feixun.com more than six hours to upload all the data. The statements from the notary public and the audit office will be at six o'clock in the afternoon. It happens to be the best time for students to eat melons after school and office workers to eat melons after get off work.
Many netizens who questioned whether the program team was fair in the voting process were actually just questioning it as a routine matter. After all, there have been a lot of talent shows in China in recent years, and almost every one of them will be questioned by netizens and fans during the voting process. However, no program team would stand up afterwards to face the questions from netizens and fans and make any clarifications. Most of the time, things just end up like this.
Netizens have also gotten used to it. After all, this competition is organized by others, and they can play it however they want. As for what is fair or unfair, just or unjust, outsiders actually cannot say. Since the platform spends real money to host the show, it is natural that it wants to promote the people it wants to promote. You refuse to sign a contract with the platform and even question that the platform is unfair and won't let you play. Well, if there is no platform, you won't be able to stand out, right?
The Chinese have been influenced by the idea of moderation since childhood and are always accustomed to trying to smooth things over. There are many people who comment on everything with the attitude of an experienced person, and at the end they sigh that "all crows are black", which seems to prove that they are very wise.
However, Feixun.com does not follow the routine. Aren't you questioning? Then I will face your doubts openly. I just moved the background data up. Those who have doubts should check it out themselves. Don't be anxious, just count the votes one by one patiently, and check your votes against the IP data and mobile phone numbers to see if your votes match!
In order to enable all netizens to understand this part of the background data, Feixun.com's technical department also very considerately uploaded an article "Verification Instructions" on the official account of the program team, teaching netizens step by step how to understand the background data.
No one expected that Feixun.com would be so tough.
There was no avoiding the issue, no pretending not to hear, and no letting the matter go. He actually blatantly refuted the rumors and doubts. So many netizens who wanted to show off their wisdom and prove once again that "all crows are black" just felt slapped in the face.
——They are all sounds of slapping in the face.
This is so fucking tough!
Although they haven't counted the voting data one by one, and even haven't quite understood the backend data, many netizens who had questioned Feixun.com immediately dispelled their doubts and quickly completed the process of turning haters into fans and passers-by into fans.
"Of all the social media platforms, I admire Feixun.com the most. Mr. Tao is so cool. He is worthy of being the man I like."
"The people upstairs need to have some shame. Mr. Tao belongs to all of us."
"I'm just asking! I'm just asking! There are so many talent shows in China! Which one can achieve the level of Feixun.com! Aren't you questioning me? I'll just upload the backend data! Let you bastards count them one by one! If you have the ability, just count out the tens of millions of data one by one!"
"From the exclamation mark above, we can conclude that the floor owner is a friendly force!"
Feixun.com's move was like a drop of cold water falling into a hot oil pan, instantly causing a huge uproar. All netizens were immediately excited. They swarmed into the official account of Feixun.com, and various confessions of love were not enough to express their excitement at the moment.
There is an old Chinese saying that "a strong youth means a strong country", so never underestimate young people. Although today's young people do not have the power to fight against the world, every middle school boy has a heart that wants to fight against and change the world.
Although the cruel reality will always wear away the ambitions of these young people bit by bit. But some ideals or dreams will always lurk deep in our hearts. Just like the volcanic magma covered by ice and frost, it is fine at ordinary times, but once it encounters a certain opportunity, it will erupt violently.
Feixun.com's bold response to rumors and doubts was such an opportunity.
——I can’t be absolutely fair, and I don’t even dare to hope for it. But if someone has done it, and this person represents "power" to some extent, then this person or this platform will undoubtedly become a hero in everyone's mind.
People admire the strong. If the party representing "power" can be relatively fair, it will be beneficial to the weak who hope that the strong will stand up for them. The effect is like thunder and lightning, and Mars hitting the Earth.
On this day, I don't know how many people directly turned into loyal fans of Feixun.com and Tao Mu. Young boys and girls are extremely easy to incite. What's more, under such ups and downs in emotions, the entire Chinese network is about to boil.
The crowd was excited and everyone was discussing Feixun.com's move. Fans of various groups are working hard to check the data, and their mentality of verifying the data is no longer based on doubt. In fact, ever since Feixun.com uploaded the background data, these people subconsciously believed in Feixun.com's absolute innocence - otherwise, how could Feixun.com dare to do this, how could it dare to directly upload the background data?
The reason why they continue to pull people to compare data is simply to transform themselves from witnesses of history to participants. Not only fans of each company, but also many netizens who like to watch the show have begun to think of ways to sort out this vast ocean of tens of millions of data.
Some engineering men from the mathematics or computer science departments have created various programs that can help screen data from various sources. Some people even recommended themselves and sent private messages to the official account of Feixun.com to apply for a job. There are even many marketing and crisis public relations teachers who directly bring this move of Feixun.com into the classroom to explain and analyze the actual event.
All news media are discussing Feixun.com's behavior. Even the social section began to cite this incident to discuss the topic of "resources and fairness."
Tao Mu's casual act of proving his innocence actually caused a social hot spot. He himself had not expected this. As a result, the number of registered users of Feixun.com began to surge again.
Previously, because more than a dozen media outlets broke the news about Tao Mu's scandal, advertisers who had been hesitant to move forward now flocked in, waving their money and wanting to cooperate with Feixun.com and Danmu.com. This time, Feixun.com took the initiative. People who enjoy resources can naturally raise their prices. Meng Qi simply convened an advertising bidding meeting, and in the end the winning bid for the sponsorship fee for the title sponsorship of Danmu.com was as high as 80 million. In the same year, the highest bidder for the national TV station was only 300 million.
However, in addition to gaining higher social acclaim, greater sensation, more registered users and a bid worth 80 million yuan, Feixun.com's move also attracted criticism from some of its peers in the industry.
——Most of them are organizers of talent shows. They believe that Feixun.com’s high-profile behavior makes it difficult for some of its peers to do their business.
You are strong because you have no desires, and you can publish the backstage voting data without fear. We can't do that. Nowadays, many fans of the contestants have flocked to their official websites to demand fairness, justice and openness. What do you think we should do?
It has made all of our talent shows lose credibility. If a talent show doesn't even have credibility, what's the point? If they hold another talent show next year, will there be any contestants signing up?
Meng Qi, who is in charge of Feixun Entertainment, said shamelessly: This is actually very easy to handle. You can also cooperate with Feixun.com!
Live broadcast or rebroadcast your talent show on Danmu.net. Let some netizens choose to vote online. I believe someone must have seen it.
Colleagues who raised questions: “…” I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.
But what made Tao Mu feel even more amused was that just when Feixun.com was gaining all kinds of praise and benefits for publishing its backend data, some netizens who were busy sorting out the voting data spoke out.
A netizen who created a software to filter the votes of various contestants in order to sort out the voting data raised the question that the voting data of some contestants was indeed a bit abnormal.
A large number of votes suddenly broke out in a certain period of time, all of which used proxy IPs. After tracking, it was shown that all proxy IPs were from the same region, and the number of abnormal votes was approximately between 100,000 and 200,000.
After careful investigation, this serious netizen who even created a software himself in order to straighten out the data stated with certainty: someone indeed rigged the votes during the voting process.
However, the contestant who cheated in votes was not Gu Xun and Chu Zi, who won the title of National School Beauty and School Prince, nor was it Shen Yu, who was jumping the most happily. Instead, it was the other two male contestants who entered the finals and had hinted to reporters during the interview that there might be something wrong with Feixun.com.
As soon as this argument came out, the netizens who were still watching the show were immediately blown away -
"No wonder those two contestants were so confident. It turns out they themselves have problems!"
"Do they think they deserve to win the championship because they voted falsely? If they don't win, it's because there's something wrong with the website?"
"With only a few hundred thousand votes, you really underestimate the power of the vast ocean of people."
"I am dying of laughter. If it weren't for these people, Feixun.com wouldn't have uploaded the background data directly. If the background data hadn't been uploaded, no one would have known about their secret vote-swiping behavior. Now, can it be considered a case of losing more than gaining?"
"I swiped the votes but still didn't win the championship. I didn't even get more votes than the brain-dead little prince Shen Yu. Does this mean that people are too ugly and even the Chinese currency can't save them?"
"I want to know how these two players feel now."
"You were so cheerful before. You were willing to be interviewed. Accept another one~"
On the other side, Tao Mu, who was also refreshed, received another call from Yao Shengan.
