The power of capital was very strong.
The news and public opinion that netizens could see were often manipulated by an invisible hand behind the scenes.
But when the netizens' anger reached its peak, no matter how much money was spent or how many troll armies were hired, there was no way to reverse the situation.
Reality proved that evil had its retribution. Since they dared to slander Ye Fan, they had to be prepared to be exposed.
If the production team wanted to prove their innocence, it was very simple. They just needed to release the video of Ye Fan returning home and discovering that she had lost the money.
If the camera did indeed capture Ye Fan going into her room, rummaging through her bag and discovering that she had lost the money, then the netizens would definitely not pursue the matter.
This matter had been trending for an entire day. Even at night, the netizens were still discussing it.
"This matter hasn't been confirmed yet, so why don't we wait and see? What if the video is released later? "
"We've been waiting for an entire day, but the production team hasn't even said a word. If there's really no problem, they should have already come out to clear their names, alright?"
Ye Fan's team also put in some effort.
They bought a press release and pushed it across the Internet to analyze the situation in detail. They brazenly pointed out that Ye Fan's money was in her room and that it was stolen by the production team.
Only Ye Fan's team knew exactly what had happened in Austria that day.
Huarui Corporation had added fuel to the fire in this explosive public opinion battle.
Ye Fan's Weibo was very quiet.
She hadn't debuted for long and had always kept a low profile. She didn't post much on Weibo.
Her latest Weibo post was from a month ago. Ye Fan had reposted the promotional video for "Let's Travel."
In a short period of time, Ye Fan's Weibo followers had increased by several million. The number of comments under that Weibo post had already reached several hundred thousand.
The netizens and fans were spamming the comments below.
"Why isn't Ye Fan stepping forward to say anything? Is she guilty or is she trying to maintain her popularity?"
"Previous poster, are you a troll hired by the production team? Can you please get lost? "
"Seeing such a hardworking young lady get framed makes my heart ache."
"If there weren't any sharp-eyed netizens who noticed that there was a problem with the editing, Ye Fan would have continued to be the scapegoat. It's really scary just thinking about it."
On the other side.
The production team was having an emergency meeting that very night.
"Let's Go Traveling" had only aired one episode before it encountered an editing storm. The netizens were cursing too much.
If it continued to broadcast, it would only make people hate it even more. The ratings and reputation would be terrible, and the investors' money would go down the drain.
They went to look for famous public relations companies and offered high prices to deal with this crisis.
This task was too difficult. No PR company wanted to get involved in this mess.
When public opinion was all leaning towards Ye Fan, who would be willing to help the program team? Wouldn't that be smashing their own reputation?
In the wee hours of the morning, the official Weibo of "Let's Travel" finally released an announcement under pressure.
[There was a problem with the equipment at the time, so the video of Ye Fan throwing the money was not recorded. Previously, the netizens criticized Ye Fan because of the missing money. We are deeply sorry for this.]
It seemed that the program team was so anxious that they were in a terrible fix. Did they think that they could easily brush this matter aside with just a few words?
The program team's perfunctory response angered the netizens.
"Something wrong with the equipment? It couldn't have happened earlier or later, but it just had to happen at the most crucial moment when the money was lost and the camera was broken. I think the program team deliberately didn't want to record it, right? "
"I'm so angry that I'm about to laugh. When Ye Fan went into the room to look for the money, they didn't follow her in to record it. Later on, when she said that she had lost the money, they even connected the dots seamlessly. So your camera can even work and break at times?"
