Huang Sibo was stunned for a moment. "No."
"'Successor' should be the project that Boss Pei asked the least about. It was basically carried out according to the original plan. Boss Pei did not give too many requirements or suggestions."
Meng Chang shook his head. "Definitely. Think about it carefully!"
Meng Chang was a little confused and lost when he did not think of this previously.
However, he suddenly became extremely certain after thinking about this.
Someone wrote a bad draft and attacked 'Successor' from the core. This was actually a high probability event.
Meng Chang felt that he did not think of it because he was too inexperienced, or perhaps he had lost his vigilance from using the Pei Corporation's publicity method.
Boss Pei could not have thought of it.
Since Boss Pei had thought of it, he definitely had a backup plan and gave him a hint.
Huang Sibo said that he did not because his senses were not sharp enough. He did not expect Boss Pei's ordinary words to already contain a hint to break through the situation.
"This … Wait a moment. Let me think about it."
Huang Sibo could only search his memories and dig out all the bits and pieces from when he went to report to Boss Pei from the depths of his memories when he saw how confident and persistent Meng Chang was.
After a long time, Huang Sibo said uncertainly, "The only thing that Boss Pei changed about 'Successor' should be the broadcast time …"
"I originally planned for one episode a week, but Boss Pei said that the time was not suitable. He wanted to change it to two episodes a week and finish it on January 12th."
"This is actually a little strange. That's because it would be better to accumulate popularity if the time was longer. Every episode of 'Successor' is nearly an hour long, and the content is rich enough. It would not be a problem for the audience to discuss it for a week."
"However, Boss Pei still requested for it to be changed to two episodes a week."
"I asked Boss Pei if something would happen around January 12th. Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry? "
"Boss Pei was very vague at that time. He said that it might be useful or useless. There was no need to hold any expectations, but it didn't matter if we tried our luck."
"If there's any special request, this is the only one."
Meng Chang frowned slightly. "January 12th?"
"Is this a special day?"
"What's more, Boss Pei's explanation is very strange. It's too ambiguous.
"Logically speaking, given Boss Pei's foresight, he should be able to accurately predict the outcome of most things. Something that Boss Pei is so uncertain about is definitely not a small matter."
Meng Chang analyzed it for a while and felt that what Huang Sibo said was very likely a backup plan left behind by Boss Pei.
Therefore, he immediately opened the Qiandu search engine and began to search on the Internet for what major events would happen around January 12th next year.
It was as if … this was just an ordinary weekend, not even an auspicious day.
Meng Chang did not give up and began to expand the scope of the search. He expanded the date to between January 8th and January 15th. The content of the search was no longer limited to the country, but the world. He even searched some foreign language webpages.
After searching for half an hour, Meng Chang scanned through an inconspicuous piece of information in a foreign language as he flipped through the web pages.
"An election in Eastern Europe? The results of the second round of voting will be announced on the evening of January 13, which basically means the end of the election. "
Meng Chang's first reaction was that he did not pay much attention to it. That was because this country called Eurasia had always had a weak presence in the country even though it was not considered a small country in Eastern Europe.
After all, there were so many countries and regions in the world. Many people only knew the name of a country when they watched the national football team play. It was normal for a country like Eurasia not to know about it.
However, Meng Chang felt that something was amiss after skimming through the news and quickly flipped back.
Perhaps it was because the keyword election touched his nerves that he could not help but think of the superhero election in Successor.
Meng Chang originally knew nothing about Eurasia's election. Thus, he began to dig up more information on foreign websites to learn more about it.
The more he learned, the more magical he felt!
Eurasia held an election every four years. This year was the time for the previous president to seek re-election.
Although this president did not have any particularly outstanding political achievements, he did not make any major mistakes in the past four years. Logically speaking, it should not be a problem for him to be re-elected normally. After all, he was very experienced and had good political achievements. No one among the other candidates should be able to pose a direct threat to him.
So far, the situation was gradually becoming clear. The first round of voting would be held this weekend. If everyone did not get more than 50% of the votes, the second round of voting would be held on the third Sunday. The third Sunday happened to be January 13th.
"Could it have something to do with this?"
"But I feel that it's very difficult to have anything to do with Successor. Even if it can be, how many people will approve of it? News that doesn't have any explosive points won't have a good spread effect. "
This country called Eurasia was not very famous in the country. They could not even be bothered to touch the public, much less have the legend of being wrapped in oiled paper.
Take this election for example. Meng Chang found some relevant information on the foreign network. Not many people in the country paid attention to it, so how could it be useful?
But in terms of timing, it was very suitable.
Meng Chang did not give up and began to check the candidates one by one.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
That was because there was a brother here who was obviously completely different from the others!
This brother was quite handsome and could even be said to have a righteous look on his face. He was born in a wealthy merchant family and studied law at a famous foreign university. After graduation, he engaged in the entertainment media industry and then became a famous actor and program host in Eurasia.
Three years ago, he had filmed a movie in which he played an ordinary history teacher. He became popular online because he criticized the authorities and was unexpectedly elected as the president of Eurasia. Thus, he formed a grassroots team and finally used this' miscellaneous army 'to defeat the corrupt prime minister who represented the oligarchs.
This movie caused a warm response in Eurasia, and he also used this movie to become a national comedian and was deeply loved by the people.
Of course, even though he performed well in the polls, the mainstream media on the internet did not think that he would be elected at all. They felt that the current polls were not accurate. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction in a joking manner when they were interviewed. The final result of the election would definitely be the current president's re-election. There was no doubt about that.
"Could Boss Pei be talking about this?"
"Hmm … that does make sense."
"Boss Pei would only say that he can't be sure about something of this level and give such an ambiguous statement."
"However, if Boss Pei can't be sure, wouldn't the risk of this matter be too high?"
Meng Chang fell into deep thought again.
Huang Sibo watched Meng Chang search the internet the entire time. He even searched some English information pages. He did not understand but felt that it was amazing.
"It shouldn't be that hard to find, right? Since Boss Pei chose something as an auxiliary publicity method for 'Successor', it meant that it would definitely be a hot topic that would cause widespread discussion. If it's too unpopular, it would not be able to cause a heated discussion. It would be useless no matter how good the timing is. "
Meng Chang shook his head. "What if it's unpopular now, but it suddenly becomes very popular in the future?"
"I've already found the major event that Boss Pei mentioned. This is it."
"The election in Eurasia."
"Look at this candidate called Big Vassily. He looks handsome, was born into a wealthy merchant family, majored in law, worked in the media field, and is a famous actor and host. He became well known through a movie. Now, he has participated in the election and even obtained the support of many people …"
"Isn't he very similar to Phil? You could even say that they were carved from the same mold. "
"His name is also very interesting. It's very close to the word 'comrade'. It just so happens that he also considers himself a 'public servant'."
"The most important thing is that he was able to participate in the election. On one hand, it's because he obtained a high reputation through television programs. On the other hand, it's because he filmed a movie and played a good president who turned the tide."
"Isn't this even more bizarre than the story of 'Successor'? Phil had at least paved the way three or four steps. He first started a talent show as a judge, then commented on the hot events of superheroes. Finally, he reluctantly became a superhero. He spent several years climbing up step by step. He even had to use various conspiracies to get rid of his competitors. He went through so much trouble that he almost bankrupted his entire family. "
"In the end, this Big Vassily was much simpler. He participated in the election directly after filming the movie. There was no need for that much foreshadowing at all."
"The facts have proven that logic is needed, but reality does not."
"Think about it. If this person really gets elected a month later … what will happen?"
Huang Sibo's eyes widened. "This … isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
"Could it be that when Cui Geng wrote this book, he used him as the prototype for Phil?"
Meng Chang shook his head. "I don't think so."
"That's because Big Vassily was just an actor before. He only announced that he would participate in the election this year. On the other hand, Cui Geng wrote the original work of 'Successor' much earlier. "
"Big Vassily is very famous in Eucratia, but no one in our country has heard of him. Cui Geng probably hasn't heard of him either. What's more, even if he had heard of him, he couldn't have predicted that he would participate in the election. "
"This might be a pure coincidence. However, Boss Pei noticed it one step ahead of us."
"Boss Pei obviously thinks that this Big Vassily is very likely to win the election. That's why he requested for 'Successor' to be broadcasted before the election results are out."
"That's because once the election is over, all kinds of media will definitely report on this matter. A comedian with no experience has been elected successfully. That would be big news worldwide. "
"On the other hand, 'Successor' has to be broadcasted before that to create the illusion of 'word of mouth settling'. Only then can it make a perfect reversal after this incident!"
Huang Sibo: "But according to the current reports, his chances of winning aren't high, right?"
Meng Chang nodded. "Yes, that's why Boss Pei also said that this matter can't be completely confirmed. After all, he should have heard the news earlier. At that time, Big Vassily had just announced that he was running."
"However … even if the success rate is very low, I still believe in Boss Pei's judgment!"
