With 17 days to go and 10 days to go to the final judges' vote, the annual awards season of the Star Flag Nation has finally entered its final climax.

Late at night, Judith, the director in charge of monitoring the hot spots of the website at Facebook's headquarters, was preparing to hand over the deputy director who had just arrived at the company.

Suddenly, the guys in his office were pushed away by a fiery technician.

"Foster, you can go to Associate Director Rogers if you have something, I'm going to leave work soon. ”

"Mr. Judith, there is a very urgent matter here, and Rogers has asked me to report it to you. The technician said urgently.

"What's the urgency? I have to deal with it?" said Judith, thinking of the young and beautiful new wife who was still waiting for her at home, and reprimanded the technician Foster with some impatience.

"There's something wrong with the Oscar prediction voting column. We received a large number of additional votes to select a film in an award that it didn't otherwise make. Foster didn't dare to talk back, so he could only honestly report the situation to Judith.

"That's what you mean by urgency, I don't think you want to do it, do you?" said Judith, dropping her clothes on the chair behind her, and shouted at Foster.

As soon as Foster wanted to explain, Judith interrupted him: "Every year before the Oscars, there are several celebrity fan groups that will engage in this kind of thing.

Leonardo was not nominated for Best Actor last year, but his fans voted him for Best Actor with more than 100,000 votes.

The most important thing for us to make a website is to meet the needs of users. Fans of any celebrity would like to see their idol appear on the shortlist, and we will add them. Do you need to deal with this kind of thing?"

After Judith finished speaking, she just wanted to pick up her clothes and walk out of the office to get off work.

But Foster's words made him petrify in an instant.

"Total... Majordomo. This time it's different... There was a film in these three days that received more than 23 million votes in four awards that he did not shortlist. Foster said with a sweaty head.

"What...... Do you say that again?" Judith asked, stunned, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?" ”

After saying that, seeing Foster standing in place, only knowing the way he nodded, Judith knew that it was true.

Quickly pulled up Foster, who was very stunned, and the two of them rushed into the Facebook back-end server monitoring center. On the huge screen, the voting numbers for "Life is Beautiful" are still non-stop, and at night it has reached more than 24 million votes.

Facebook's dedicated mailbox for receiving votes is full of votes for "Life is Beautiful".

The back-end technician even had to call the program to delete a part of the voting emails at regular intervals to ensure that the back-end server of this mailbox would not be crowded with a large amount of data and information and go down.

Judith looked at the data on the screen in amazement, and asked the technician in charge of monitoring the backend data: "Are you sure that these votes are real votes, not hacked or made up with voting plug-ins or something." ”

The technician operated the machine, "I tracked the data at random, and all the IP addresses of the votes were real and valid. No hacker can master so many 'broilers'. As for the voting cheat, it is even more unlikely. I can only say that, according to my analysis, it seems that at the moment Chinese people all over the world are voting for this movie, and this is the only possible truth......"

Judith looked at the big screen, which was still growing, holding her dizzy head, and said weakly: "Are the Chinese people crazy? For a movie, just like this, so desperate?"

"Judith, now "Life is Beautiful" has received an average of more than 6 million votes for Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Picture, and four awards that it did not shortlist. The other shortlisted films received the most votes with just over 2 million votes.

What do we do now? Do we really want to put this film on the shortlist for these awards?" At this time, Rogers, the deputy director of the monitoring center, who had already arrived at the monitoring center, looked at Judith with a complicated face and asked.

Judith took a deep breath and thought for a long time before replying, "We are a social networking site and not a professional film organization. Traffic and attention are our lives.

No matter why these Huaxia people vote, as long as they can bring us traffic, we have to give them the results they want.

You instructed the technicians below to add "Life is Beautiful" to those awards tonight.

Voting figures are not allowed to be cut and are simply released on the basis of real data. I believe that those advertisers, if they see so many Huaxia users voting for us. In the second half of the year, our advertising expenses can be raised by another notch. ”

"Does this need to be escalated to Mr. Zuckerberg?" asked the deputy superintendent.

He was worried that the Hollywood studios behind the few films that were really shortlisted would come to the company for trouble when the time came.

"There's no need, I'll take care of what happens. Judith had a glint of ambition in his eyes, he had now figured it out that this incident did him no harm, but rather his best chance of promotion.

……

Just when Judith was ambitiously preparing to use the voting event to take her position to the next level.

Monitors of Google, Twitter, Yahoo and other websites have also found the same phenomenon.

Except for Yahoo, which is not on its own website for the time being, it shows the real voting results of "Life is Beautiful".

Several other websites have put "Life is Beautiful" in the first place in the "Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress" and other awards.

All major media regarded this news as a major breaking point for a while, and it was overwhelmingly announced early the next morning.

This time, the whole of Hollywood was shaken.

All the Oscar judges know that there is a Chinese film that has won the first place in the four most important Oscar awards in the selection activities of major websites.

The judges, who were not interested in this movie before, took the initiative to go to the free screening theater arranged by Legendary Pictures to watch this Chinese movie.

Peng Yichen and Sun Yizou's plan has initially achieved the results they wanted.

And Jacks of Hua Na, after getting the news, angrily smashed all the glass furnishings in the office.

He obviously felt that Robinov, with the support of Peng Yichen, had become more and more active in the past few days.

I heard that David Ellison and Ivy Nivo are currently in contact with Robinoff, and I don't know what small actions are going to be done behind the scenes.

And Peng Yichen's films are advancing hand in hand at the box office and awards, which is Robinoff's biggest confidence now.

This made Bicks instinctively feel that his current situation was not good, and maybe he was really overturned by Robinov and Peng Yichen in the end.

The thought of this sent chills through Bix's heart.

……

Just when all Hollywood filmmakers are discussing that "Life is Beautiful" has won many awards and first place in popularity on major websites in the United States.

Time came day by day for the last jury voting day for the Oscars.

After a rigorous voting process, the final results of all awards are sealed in a dedicated security company.

No one can get close to the final results of these Oscars until the awards ceremony takes place.

Knowing that starry night, the final result can be announced to the world.

All kinds of public relations work that has been boiling throughout the awards season has stopped.

Regardless of whether they won the award or not, everyone breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

There are only a few Starflag websites where voting for the popularity of those awards has not yet been suspended.

The number of votes for "Life is Beautiful" is still rising.

In this way, Chinese filmmakers and audiences hope to help this film, which carries their countless expectations, to get a better result in the end.
