On the colorful stage.
Wu Yan did not say a word as he calmly faced the whiteboard in front of him. He held a pen in his hand and quietly wrote.
The light gradually turned cold, just like his state of mind that was as calm as still water.
The German player from the Tiger King team had already stopped writing. He had completed the proof of the number "246". When he put down the pen, he looked at Wu Yan and was surprised.
At the same time, the camera zoomed in on his line of sight.
The professor from Stanford University frowned, "Vinogradov's three prime number theorem! He's challenging the K = 1 format! "
The professor from Singapore University exclaimed, "Unbelievable! That's the twin prime number conjecture! He's going to prove the twin prime number conjecture here! "
The atmosphere was ignited.
The female host's eyes widened, "I can't believe it. Our contestant Wu Yan is going to challenge a world-class mathematics problem here! Will he succeed? "
The audience was silent.
Whether it was his teammates or his opponents.
The audience held their breath and clenched their fists.
The background music was like the shore before the tide, moving from tranquility and calmness to excitement.
At this exciting moment, the comments on the live broadcast online had already exploded.
[F * ck me, Dr. Wu is going to challenge a mathematics conjecture? Is he that cool?]
[My god is so handsome ~ ~ ~]
[Is Dr. Wu going to challenge the Fields Prize?]
[I love boys with brains like this the most. They're so much better than those little fresh meats who only know how to act cute and coquettish ~ ~ ~]
[I suddenly want to marry a guy who's good at mathematics!!!]
[Wait a minute, why does this scene look so familiar …]
Isn't this exactly the same as the Princeton academic conference that happened a while ago?
The only difference was that while the others used six whiteboards, this one used a single whiteboard that was so big that there was no edge to it.
Soon, someone noticed the problem.
The atmosphere in the comments section suddenly became a little subtle. A small group of people noticed the problem and began to post links in the comments section.
Many people watched the video and immediately began to argue in the comments section.
[This is plagiarism, right?]
[It's not that I want to say this, but someone else stood on it and added some background music. Using someone else's research results that haven't been officially published as a gimmick. What a plagiarism.]
[Get lost, you loser. You're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. I'll give you the pen. Why don't you go on stage?]
[As a graduate of Brock University with a PhD in mathematics, I can tell you very clearly. I've seen the video you mentioned. The proof process was too blurry, and I couldn't see it clearly. However, the person who proved Zhou's conjecture at the report was very clear. Also, let me tell you laymen, the twin prime conjecture is way better than Zhou's conjecture!]
[That's right, it's not a problem at all. Those who watch the video and come back to flaming me don't know that Mersenne primes and twin prime numbers are two completely different things, right?]
The argument in the comment section was getting more and more intense, and many bullet comments were also starting to complain.
Finally, the moderator began to control the comments, suppressing the voices of ridicule and forcefully suppressing the rhythm of the bullet screen and the comment section.
At the same time, on the stage, the two judges stood up at the same time and looked at the whiteboard in surprise.
"He did it!"
"Unbelievable!"
Wu Yan silently threw away the pen in his hand, turned around, and walked away from the whiteboard.
The applause from the audience exploded at this moment.
The nervous audience sitting in front of their TVs and computers loosened their fists.
It was just a math question, and the production team actually made it sound like an epic.
However, not everyone felt the same way.
…
TV station, backstage of The Strongest Genius Student.
The explosive ratings and topics made the staff of the production team excited as if it was Chinese New Year.
Without a doubt, they had succeeded.
At this moment, Wu Ping, who had just been promoted to the head of the planning team, was reporting to the show director.
"… The topics are increasing. According to the feedback from the marketing department, our platform search data increased by 43% year-on-year!"
Zhang Yuanjie frowned, "I know about the ratings, the plagiarism … What's going on?"
He was very satisfied with the popularity of the show. If everything went well, this season's ratings alone would be enough to raise his status in the station.
Especially the character of Wu Yan, they were very successful.
In the past, the staff had been arguing that this kind of scientific reality show was too niche and did not have the ability to create stars. But without a doubt, from the viewership ratings and topics, he could use this report to slap those who opposed him in the face.
The only thing that worried him was that the live broadcast platform told him that the last question was related to the plagiarism problem. Fortunately, the public relations department of the project team found out in time and controlled the situation. Otherwise, if this topic was allowed to develop, it would have a certain impact on this kind of science-based show.
"Here's the thing. Our planning team took a video from a Princeton academic conference on a foreign video website. They used the Mersenne prime number proof, and we used the Twin Prime Number proof. Although the two are similar, they are not the same thing. We downloaded the report paper from that day. "
Actually, Wu Ping did not know much, but she had consulted with experts in this area. She knew the boundaries very well.
"Good job," said Director Zhang after understanding the situation. He nodded and said, "But this Wu Yan is really good, he even solved this kind of mathematical conjecture."
When it came to variety shows, it was not a big deal to learn from them. It was not the first time they were criticized, so it helped them maintain their popularity. After all, in the current online environment, negative marketing was also a type of marketing.
They copied the low-end scenes and copied the artistic conception. Director Zhang was quite satisfied with his planning team. It seemed that the planning team had understood all the things that he had emphasized during the meeting.
So what if they copied it? Could a country bumpkin climb over the wall and ask for copyright fees? Not to mention whether he was in the right or not, even if he really came over, wouldn't it be fine to just give him a little bit of money as hush money? How much could those views cost? Didn't the variety shows in the country learn from each other? Was this even a problem?
However, even though the blind Sudoku and the subject competition questions were rehearsed in advance, the twin prime number conjecture was not prepared in advance.
Therefore, when Wu Yan's agent proposed to use Dr. Wu's latest research results in the semi-finals to defeat the German team, Director Zhang immediately agreed and asked the planning team to change the script.
As expected, the effect of the show was explosive.
Just by looking at the bullet screen and the comments, the screen was already flooded with comments.
"Of course, after all, he is the youngest Chinese doctor at the University of Auckland. He has some skills," said Wu Ping with a smile.
Including the foreign extras, no matter what their major was, they were all from famous universities.
"I watched today. Who said that science shows can't create stars? Not only can we create stars, but we can also create positive technological stars!" said Director Zhang with a smile. He said, "There's only one final game left, do your best! When the show is done, the planning team's bonus will be doubled. "
