Chapter 121 Beautiful Homework
Chapter 121 Beautiful Homework
In a corner of the city, a girl stared intently at her phone screen, her fingers trembling slightly, her eyes filled with tension and anticipation.
"Tonight is the night to reveal the final characters..." the girl muttered to herself, her eyes never leaving the constantly changing data.
My friend leaned closer, looking suspicious: "Hey, do you think this public casting call is reliable? Is it just a publicity stunt?"
The girl didn't answer immediately; instead, she quickly swiped her finger across the screen, displaying the entire casting page for "Asking Immortals" on the Day and Night Entertainment website.
The data above is updated in real time, and every vote is accurately captured.
Pointing to the data curve on the screen, the girl earnestly explained to Su Yao, "Look, the data on the official website is open and transparent, updated daily in real time, and all historical data is recorded. Once there are abnormal fluctuations in the background data, they will be detected immediately, so the possibility of it being a publicity stunt is very small."
In fact, Day and Night Entertainment employs a top-notch anti-cheating team to monitor voting data comprehensively using advanced algorithms. Once an anomaly is detected, it is immediately investigated, thus eliminating the possibility of data tampering from a technical perspective.
Her friend pursed her lips, her worry undiminished. She sighed heavily and said, "I hope so. Wei Wuxian is really perfect for the protagonist. He's the one who best captures the protagonist's youthful spirit in the early stages. Although his basic skills weren't great at first, didn't you see how hard he worked during training? He's sacrificed so much for this role. If my little sun gets replaced through underhanded means, I won't let them get away with it."
The "little sun" she mentioned was none other than Chu Xianxian.
"Don't worry about it. Chu Xianxian's votes are already very stable." Knowing that her friend was a big fan of Chu Xianxian, the girl immediately comforted her, "It would be too obvious to rig the votes at this point. He's the only one who can be the main character."
My friend still looked worried: "I heard someone has hidden a lot of votes, just waiting to overtake us at the last minute."
The girl couldn't help but laugh and patiently explained, "How could that be? One ID card can only be used once. Even if someone hid a ticket, what threat could they pose?"
To further ensure the authenticity of the votes, Day and Night Entertainment also collaborates with authoritative identity verification agencies, ensuring that each ballot undergoes identity verification upon submission.
The uniqueness of the ID number and its real-time online query, along with the fact that each role has only one voting opportunity, eliminate vote-rigging at its source and ensure fairness and impartiality.
Those attempts to influence casting results through machine-generated votes and mass account registration have all been thwarted by the robust security system.
Upon hearing this, his friend nodded slightly, his expression softening somewhat.
After comforting her friend, the girl sighed heavily and said helplessly, "Sigh, your Little Sun is definitely in the running, but my Octopus Teacher, because he was selected much later than others, although he has now surpassed others in votes, it's still not secure. I don't know if he will succeed in the end, and I'm really worried."
Speaking of Zhang Yu, also known as "Teacher Octopus" by the girls, he joined late and was far behind the others from the start. Like a runner who started behind in a long-distance race, he needed to put in much more effort to catch up with those ahead.
But no one expected that once Zhang Yu was selected, his votes skyrocketed, quickly surpassing many of his competitors.
The growth was so rapid that it was almost vertical.
The votes for other competitors even declined.
This situation immediately sparked questions: "Could it be that because Day and Night Entertainment is heavily promoting Zhang Yu, they gave him a lot more votes backstage?"
At the time, some people even posted line graphs showing the changes in the number of candidates' votes. Looking at the curves of the popular candidates' sudden drop, compared with Zhang Yu's steady rise and even rapid increase in votes at certain times, it couldn't help but make people think.
There was once a very famous talent show.
The show's producers blatantly rigged the votes, replacing contestants who should have been in the debut positions with unscrupulous tactics in exchange for kickbacks from various entertainment companies.
A contestant who was originally very popular lost his dream of debuting because his ranking was maliciously changed due to vote fraud.
Later, the fans always felt that something was amiss, so they carefully calculated the vote difference and unexpectedly discovered that there was indeed something fishy going on. The vote difference between the first and second place, the third and fourth place, the sixth and seventh place, and the seventh and eighth place was exactly the same, which was a probability that was almost zero.
Moreover, that's not all. When you analyze the overall vote difference table for the top 20, you'll find many unusual numbers that appear repeatedly.
Later, the entire production team was investigated by the police, and the once-glorious program collapsed instantly, leaving only sighs and regrets.
Is Day and Night Entertainment about to stage a dramatic reversal, a substitution of one entity for another?
Some extreme netizens even left messages directly on the official account of Day and Night Entertainment, demanding a reasonable explanation, otherwise they would boycott the film and television adaptation of "Asking Immortals" and report it.
However, unlike that negative example, Day and Night Entertainment quickly and forcefully responded.
At the live clarification press conference, the official spokesperson for Day and Night Entertainment appeared serious and sincere.
The large screen behind him displayed the underlying code logic of the "Asking Immortals" casting voting system, as well as detailed logs of each data update.
"As you can see, this is the core algorithm of our voting system. All data updates are based on real voting records."
The person in charge patiently explained:
"The source, time, IP address, and other information of each ballot are fully recorded and compared in real time with data from authoritative identity verification agencies."
To further dispel netizens' doubts, Day and Night Entertainment also invited representatives from a third-party professional data monitoring agency to speak on stage.
The representative released a detailed monitoring report on the voting process, and all data was verified as true and reliable.
"As an independent third-party monitoring agency, we conducted comprehensive and real-time monitoring of the casting voting data for Day and Night Entertainment's 'Asking Immortals'."
A third-party representative solemnly declares:
"I can responsibly tell everyone that the casting voting process was fair, just, and transparent, and there was no possibility of any behind-the-scenes manipulation."
The public opinion shifted only after the live broadcast ended.
Those netizens who had questioned the authenticity of Zhang Yu's vote count have all disappeared.
After this live-streamed clarification meeting, the authenticity of Zhang Yu's vote count is beyond doubt.
Octopus Teacher's fans were truly thrilled at this moment.
It's rare to see a company standing up for its favorite star like this in today's entertainment industry.
In fact, Bai Li had already made preparations for this kind of situation.
Public credibility has always been the most important thing for a company.
The authenticity of the vote is the foundation for maintaining the company's credibility, so Bai Li had made thorough preparations before launching the vote.
No matter what doubts the outside world may have, the company can always provide the most favorable facts as evidence.
They even invited an authoritative third-party notary office to conduct oversight from the very beginning to ensure the accuracy of the data and reassure every netizen who participated in the vote.
It was thanks to the company's thorough preparations that it was able to hold this online clarification meeting so quickly, responding at the fastest speed and delivering the best possible response.
