The morning of the sixth day when Xu Yun and HKUST were exposed online.
Nine o'clock.
Conference Room 1, Administration Building, East District, HKUST.
This large conference room, which can accommodate hundreds of people, was already filled with reporters and photographers from all over the country.
At the same time, since HKUST only gave many media one day to travel, those who could come to the scene were basically big and well-known media:
It’s not that big media ride trains or planes faster than others, but it’s because only big media have stations in southern Anhui...or across the country...
Tuantuan, Renri, Xinhua News Agency, etc. are all gathered here today.
Unsurprisingly, HKUST's actions aroused a large number of protests from foreign media, but there is no way around it. HKUST also has its own reasons for this.
Although HKUST is ready to counterattack and is very confident, it will not underestimate the think tanks of foreign companies.
If this matter had been announced three or four days in advance, the media in other places would have been able to catch up, but if not, the think tanks would have thought of other countermeasures, and the news might even have been leaked.
So weigh it.
In the end, HKUST decided to cut through the mess quickly without leaving too much time for the enemy to react.
Of course.
There are also some talented people who came to the scene overnight from across provinces, such as Sichuan Province Observation, which observes everywhere except Sichuan Province...
This time, the Sichuan Province observation team traveled to Luzhou overnight to conduct a live broadcast.
The team leader is Zhang Xiaojie, and the host is Chen Shanshan.
Some students may not be able to remember who these two people are for a while, but if you mention the cockroach woman who was the first to go to the central area to live broadcast during the cockroach disinfecting live broadcast, many people will surely remember the identity of this host. Already......
Relying on her contribution during the cockroach eradication live broadcast, Chen Shanshan has now successfully transitioned from a front-end commentator to a full-time official and has a formal staff.
This time, it was also because of her old relationship with HKUST that Sichuan Provincial Investigation sent their team.
Otherwise, in terms of distance alone, the two teams dispatched by Sichuan Provincial Observation Team are even closer.
Early this morning, Zhang Xiaojie and Chen Shanshan hurriedly had breakfast and arrived at the press conference in advance.
"There are so many people..."
Chen Shanshan glanced at the entrance of the administration building and saw that the parking lot was full of vehicles of all kinds today, and many students could be seen further around.
After all, even HKUST students rarely see such a big battle.
Since the University of Science and Technology had reserved a spot for Sichuan Provincial Observation in advance, Chen Shanshan was not in a hurry to take her seat before the press conference started, but started live broadcasting outside the administrative building.
There are many media outlets like hers around, at least seven or eight scattered here and there.
After all, the conference room is closed. There is no problem in going in and simply taking pictures, but it would not be appropriate if it is accompanied by live comments.
Today, Chen Shanshan wore a white down jacket, a hat and gloves, which looked very stylish.
After getting a signal from Zhang Xiaojie.
She first waved to the camera in a familiar manner, with a very natural demeanor:
"Hello everyone, I am Chen Shanshan, the host of today's Sichuan Province Observation. Welcome everyone to the live broadcast room of Sichuan Province Observation!"
"Everyone should know that we were invited by the University of Science and Technology today to participate in the live broadcast of a special press conference."
"I have now arrived outside the Administration Building of HKUST. Behind me is the entrance of the Administration Building. You can see that there are many participants here today..."
After saying a simple hello, she began to read the barrage content on the teleprompter board and answered selectively.
This is also the difference between Internet media and self-media, both timeliness and participation are very high.
"Yeah, I just arrived in Luzhou early this morning... Nasal sound? I don't have a cold, but our cameraman has a bit of a stuffy nose..."
"There are probably thirty or forty media outlets today, and everyone who can come is here."
"Don't call me cockroach girl qaq..."
But soon.
Chen Shanshan's expression became a little more serious - she saw a barrage:
[What does the host think of Xu Yun? Don’t be a money launderer again]
"This classmate named Fuyun Wangyuan, right..."
The expression on Chen Shanshan's face did not change, and at the same time she quickly said the words she had arranged in advance:
"There is no need to be too conspiratorial about some things. As a media, our attitude is neutral - whether it is right or wrong, it is not too late for us to wait until the press conference is over before making a judgment."
"Now that the matter has reached this point, it is no longer the so-called whitewashing process. What everyone wants to see is substantive evidence."
"So Shanshan would like to give everyone a suggestion. Everyone should try to control their emotions during the live broadcast. No matter how urgent it is, it will not take more than an hour or two."
Chen Shanshan's words were arranged in advance, but they were also what she was thinking in her heart.
Due to image requirements, former front-end commentators like Chen Shanshan are generally pretty good-looking, and in life and work they have often come into contact with various people who have ill intentions towards her.
So unlike those girls who think someone is secretly filming themselves when they see someone holding a mobile phone, she has practical experience in judging a person's character.
After the cockroach disinfecting live broadcast, she interviewed Xu Yun once, and the two chatted for about an hour.
At that time, Xu Yun gave her the impression that not only he was a gentleman, but at least he didn't have any experience as a PUA veteran.
He looks like a struggling novelist who stays at home every day.
If you say that Xu Yun, who is worth 500,000 yuan, has stolen some scientific research secrets or achievements, then it is really difficult for Chen Shanshan to make a judgment.
But you said people like Xu Yun are scumbags...
Chen Shanshan thinks the probability is not high.
Therefore, she did not choose to follow the trend in the previous Internet explosion. Instead, she repeatedly expressed her hope that everyone would be sensible.
However, she doesn't usually post pictures of her posing, so even on a platform like Weibo, which has extremely low data, she only has more than 20,000 followers.
In addition, due to the direction of the wind, the sound produced basically had no effect, and some people even labeled it as money laundering.
Now that she has the opportunity to say these words through live broadcast, she will naturally not refuse.
After Chen Shanshan expressed her stance.
Various reactions quickly appeared in the live broadcast room.
[Support the Cockroach Lady, my wife!]
【Reasonable】
[HKUST student passed by, Xu Yun was originally innocent]
[Yeah, it’s another person who collects money...]
[Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you wash the floor of a scumbag? 】
Looking at the barrage of different opinions, Chen Shanshan was not surprised.
There are 10,000 Hamlets in the hearts of 10,000 people. It is normal to have different opinions.
If the live broadcast platform did not block some swear words, Chen Shanshan would have seen more abusive remarks.
This is a necessary psychology for a public figure, referred to as stress resistance.
Then Chen Shanshan quickly adjusted her state and continued to introduce today's situation:
"Okay, let's get back to the original topic. Although everyone knows the purpose of the press conference held by HKUST today, I personally still look forward to whether some strong evidence will appear..."
at the same time.
HKUST Cyber Security Center.
Since the network security center has a supercomputer with low computing power but dedicated to network security, it is easy to move away.
Therefore, the University of Science and Technology did not set up a network-side monitoring area at the press conference this time. Instead, it divided a group at the Network Security Center to monitor relevant data of the press conference.
At the same time, consider that the press conference is of great importance.
Xiaorong, who was once the number one hacker in China, who was originally stationed at the Huadun Biotech headquarters, was also invited by Tian Liangwei to help at the HKUST Cybersecurity Center.
To know.
Even on the first day of product launch, HKUST did not show such a posture.
The arrival of Xiaorong relieved Wang Qingchen from a lot of defensive pressure and gave him more energy to focus on traffic issues.
"Lao Gao."
After finishing processing a document in hand.
Xiaorong walked to the location of the network monitoring team and asked the team leader Gao Tian:
“How is the attention on the Internet now?”
Takada quickly turned the notebook in front of him towards him, pointed at the screen and said:
"Director Wang, you see, the topic of #HKUST Press Conference has now topped the search results on Zhihu, Weibo, Tieba and Baidu browser."
"As far as we know, Weibo's server has even experienced a slight downtime - but it has been expanded."
"If we compare the specific popularity with examples, it is probably similar to the situation on the day Fanfan entered the game."
Wang Qingchen nodded and glanced at the screen a few times.
At this time, there is a progress bar on the screen that is constantly changing, sometimes extending, sometimes shortening.
There are some numbers at the back - these represent the degree of discussion of related topics.
Then he thought about it and asked again:
"What about the number of viewers across the entire network?"
The number of people Wang Qingchen asked was naturally not the fake popularity marked in the live broadcast room, but the real number of viewers, which was confidential data that was difficult for ordinary people to access.
However, this data is not difficult for the HKUST Cyber Security Center. It can easily obtain relevant information from the live broadcast platform without using other means.
I saw Takada quickly tapping on the keyboard a few times, and his proficiency was completely proportional to his hairline:
"Director Wang, according to the information we have learned, the number of people in the main live broadcast room of station B today has reached 850,000... Oh, eighty-six."
"There are a total of 43 authorized media live broadcast rooms. Together with the main live broadcast room, the total number of people at Station B is about two million."
"Including other platforms such as Weibo, official accounts, and Douyin, the actual number of people online on the entire network is currently around six million."
Wang Qingchen nodded slightly.
It was mentioned when the University of Science and Technology of China conducted a live broadcast of the disinfecting.
The peak data for Internet live broadcasts belongs to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which is an unparalleled advantage project of the media giant and a habit passed down by generations over the past decades.
Even though the Spring Festival Gala has received less and less attention over the years, most people will subconsciously take a few glances at it on New Year's Eve.
The audience size of the 2021 Spring Festival Gala live broadcast is 1.14 billion, of which the number of new media live broadcast users is 569 million. To be honest, this number is not of much reference. It is the only one in the country and even the world.
Excluding the Spring Festival Gala, the peak number of live broadcasts on a single platform is two.
One is that on December 17, 2021, Westlife, also known as Westlife Boys, held the world's first online concert.
At that time, the concert was broadcast live through the WeChat video account, and the number of real domestic viewers reached 15 million.
The other is the 40th anniversary live broadcast of Andy Lau’s debut on July 29, 2021, who is a little less handsome than readers.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguoyuedu! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.yeguoyuedu]
At that time, the official claimed that the number of people online exceeded 100 million, but the actual number was about 11 million.
However, this number was once again refreshed by Andy Lau himself on September 3 this year - the number of people online for his live concert on Douyin exceeded 350 million, and the actual number of people was about 45 million.
no way.
Again.
China's population base is simply too large.
The magnitudes that are unimaginable for many foreign platforms can be easily achieved in China.
In 2019, Douyin’s daily active users exceeded 400 million, and in 2022, it has exceeded 700 million. The algorithm of this thing is also very devilish. For example, Xu Yun has a friend who likes to watch "Gansu is not big, creating myths" all afternoon
"...
In addition to single platform.
The record for all platforms was held by the China-South Korea football match on March 23, 2018.
At that time, Migu, Yang5, iQiyi and other platforms had live broadcasts.
Due to the situation at that time, the number of viewers on the Internet reached 110 million in the third minute after Yu Dabao scored.
Second only to this figure was the S-game night when IG won the championship in the same year. The number of viewers across the entire domestic network was about 37 million.
However, there is a very silly thing about this number, that is, a campus IP is calculated as 2.3.
Therefore, the value of this value is quite high. In fact, if the peak value of the entire network exceeds 15 million, it is considered very high.
In addition, according to an announcement issued by a domestic third-party platform.
In yesterday's S12 finals between t1 and drx, the real peak data of the entire network during a certain period of the last game of both sides reached 51 million, setting a new record for ig on the night of winning the championship.
However, this platform only belongs to the second-tier echelon of analysis platforms in China, and it is unknown how accurate it is.
As for the previous peak number of people attending the live broadcast of HKUST’s live broadcast, it was 43.96 million, ranking second in the country at the time, but it has now fallen to fourth place - if the above number of 51 million is correct.
At present, the HKUST press conference is about half an hour away from the start, and the number of people online on the entire network has already exceeded 6 million...
Think of this.
Wang Qingchen couldn't help but have a flash of expectation in his eyes.
As an important participant in this plan, he knows exactly what kind of "program" HKUST has prepared to perform.
If all goes well, this press conference may...
Can it really set a record?
.......
that's all.
In the barrage of abuse, refutation, and expectations across the Internet.
Time passed by minute by minute.
9:07....
9:14...
9:20...
at the same time.
The attention of online platforms is also slowly increasing.
Six and a half million...
8.2 million...
9.4 million...
Five minutes before the press conference started, the real number of people on the entire network had exceeded 16 million.
This can firmly rank among the top five in the history of China Internet!
Of course.
In fact, relying solely on the topics on social media, the popularity of this press conference cannot actually reach such a high level.
But why do netizens like to eat melons?
On the night when the old witch flew to Baodao, the flight information platform flightradar, which had the highest number of simultaneous online users in history, was only over 3,600 people, but it was forced to have 300,000 people online.
This is because you need a ladder to get on FlightRadar, otherwise it would climb dozens of times for you every minute without any pressure at all.
There was also the original Hema lottery. The Hema official account, which had a maximum retweet of only 200, was suddenly transferred to more than 4.7 million...
Another example is the China-South Korea war mentioned above. Before Yu Dabao scored the goal, the number of people on the entire network was only over 60 million.
It was through the spread of group chats that the peak reached 110 million within three minutes.
Joining in the fun has happened all over the world, both at home and abroad.
Then at 9:27, a small episode appeared during the live broadcast:
A woman in white clothes suddenly took off only her underwear and shouted frantically that scumbags should not be allowed in the house.
If it weren't for the relatively strong backstage of HKUST, this live broadcast would have been as 404 as a certain book...
Another three minutes passed.
9:30 am.
The originally noisy press conference suddenly fell silent, and their eyes were fixed on the podium at the front.
I saw eight people walking out from the left hand side of the podium.
Among them were Tian Liangwei, Zhang Rui, and several middle-aged or elderly people.
At the very back of the team, a young-looking man followed.
During the previous Internet explosions, the Internet explosion party often saw this face.
This person is clearly...
Xu Yun!
It just looked like what was promised.
The moment Xu Yun appeared.
A row of identical barrages appeared on many Internet platforms.
The content of these barrages only has two words:
【Scumbag!】
...........
Note:
Yesterday I drank sodium phosphate salt to cleanse my intestines. Today I am having polyps removed, so I am going to bed first. According to previous experience, I will probably be able to recover tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. However, I am still a little shy to take off my pants in the operating room...
I saw some comments and would like to add here. Originally, my polyp surgery was scheduled for tomorrow, so I planned to go home and stay up all night to write out a 10,000-word update. However, I was notified at short notice that I could do it today, so I could only postpone it for one day.
