With the added boost from the previous buzz, Liu Wei's article immediately climbed to second place on the trending topics list.
In less than ten minutes, thousands of comments were posted.
"The content of the article is too exaggerated. It reads like a movie or a novel."
"Upstairs, there are pictures to prove it. When I first heard this news, I thought the same thing. How could China possibly have a singer more amazing than a superstar?"
"The pictures have been processed, the videos have been edited, and the quality is so poor that they are not real at all."
"Weibo offered Zhou Tianyi a sky-high price of tens of millions. Are you out of your mind or is Weibo's management out of their minds?"
"The article is well-written and supported by evidence, but it just seems unbelievable. We're waiting for more evidence."
"..."
Liu Wei has many fans, but there are also many who question the authenticity of his articles.
There are many reasons to question it.
Some people questioned how Weibo could possibly offer such an exorbitant price to invite Zhou Tianyi to open a Weibo account.
Some people questioned how Zhou Tianyi could have been worth 50 million back then, as even the Four Heavenly Kings might not have been worth that much.
Some even questioned whether all of Liu Wei's pictures and videos were fabricated by himself.
The comments section also shifted from initial debate to argument.
At this time, Ai Kun, who had been following Liu Wei's articles closely, compiled and edited the information he had collected and his own thoughts.
She read it from beginning to end, nodded in satisfaction, and finally forwarded her comment, tagging Liu Wei.
"That was a good boast, but don't try to do it again next time. Not everyone can be fooled by your fancy words."
"I have always disliked the success of petty people, but due to time constraints, I will directly state my points of contention:"
"First, how can you guarantee the authenticity of these pictures and videos?"
"Secondly, Weibo now has over 100 million daily active users, and it was also very famous ten years ago. Would they spend 30 million to invite Zhou Tianyi?"
"Furthermore, I consulted with Weibo staff, who said they had never heard of this before."
"Also, do you think Zhou Tianyi is Zhuge Liang, who visited Zhuge Liang three times? Why don't you say that Weibo was crying and begging Zhou Tianyi to open a Weibo account?"
"Third, Weibo offered 50 million for the third time. What's the proof? You're just making things up without evidence. I could say Weibo offered Zhou Tianyi 100 billion."
After posting, Ai Kun showed a smug expression, believing that she had won the argument.
Because she actually asked a Weibo employee, who had been working there for five or six years and was now the head of a small department.
As for the pictures and videos, one can only say that Liu Wei is quite resourceful, managing to find even such outdated material.
But using them to forge evidence will only make his lies more shattered.
After posting his comment, Aikun kept an eye on his comment section.
As expected, a large number of passersby left comments in the comment section, and most of the comments were supportive of her.
Even if there are people who don't support her, she will notice and delete their comments immediately.
Ai Kun had no idea that her actions had directly angered Xu Yunyu.
Xu Yunyu is a freelance media worker with a total of less than 100,000 followers across the entire internet, and he is usually only active on Bilibili.
His videos differ from mainstream lifestyle, food, and technology videos; they belong to a niche category within film and television: the restorer.
Of course, he gave himself this title; there is actually no such profession.
He chose this direction because he found that almost no one in the entire self-media industry chose this path.
He came into contact with and learned about image and video restoration for some reason, which led to this idea.
Only after he did it did he realize that it wasn't that others didn't know, but rather that this path was simply too difficult to traverse.
Almost no one is willing to leave, and the reasons are simply that the technology is not strong, the future development is not promising, and the target audience is limited.
In this fast-paced world, if you can't make money here, why bother trying to get in?
But Xu Yunyu was unwilling to give up; he was the kind of stubborn person who wouldn't turn back until he hit a brick wall.
So he studied even harder, immersing himself in the field of restoration, and gradually made a name for himself with his superb restoration skills.
Currently, he has 50,000 to 60,000 followers on Bilibili, which is considered a barely acceptable entry into the realm of self-media.
Upon seeing Liu Wei's article, he immediately became interested and began to repair it.
It took an afternoon to restore all the pictures and videos in Liu Wei's article to 4K high-definition quality, so clear it was like taking a picture with a camera held right up to someone's face.
"What Liu Wei said is true, but who would have thought that Weibo would be so sincere in front of Zhou Tianyi?"
After watching the video, Xu Yunyu was preparing to refute Ai Kun with the repaired images and videos, but the link was deleted as soon as he posted it.
He thought the system had mistakenly deleted his account, until after two tests, the system notified him that he had been blacklisted by Aikun, and then he realized the truth.
"They won't let me post it, but I'll post it anyway!"
Xu Yunyu got angry and tagged Liu Wei, then commented on Liu Wei's post.
Even a day later, people were still paying attention to this matter. As soon as Xu Yunyu posted his comment, it was seen by fans who kept refreshing the comments.
In stark contrast to Ai Kun's experience, Xu Yunyu's comment was upvoted by hundreds of people in less than five minutes.
"Wow, this is amazing! I would call this the best repair technique ever. It's so clear."
"Compared to Liu Wei's pictures and videos, this is the kind of proof that normal people want to see."
