The turmoil caused by this incident can definitely be said to shake the foundation of 'authority' that Nielsen Data has built for 80 years.

In the face of everyone's skepticism and pressure from all sides, Nielsen Data took the smartest approach.

That is, let it go.

With an attitude of inaction, leaving the whole society and authority or even law enforcement to investigate, regardless of the final outcome of the investigation, Nielsen Data has a way to get rid of the implications.

In the end, as long as the blame is shifted to Wallace and Bird, they will be fine.

Perhaps the credibility of Nielsen Data will be greatly undermined in this turmoil, but there is no way to do it.

If any method of 'explanation' or 'prevarication' is adopted, I am afraid that it will provoke even stronger doubts.

In the end, after the American Film and Television Media Association and the police jointly issued a joint statement, the top management of "Nielsen Data" breathed a long sigh of relief.

And in the shortest possible time, Wallace and Birdel were reinstated, and in the statement, he said in a aggrieved tone:

"In order to convince everyone of our data reports, we had no choice but to temporarily dismiss two outstanding employees, even though they fully complied with their professional ethics and the company's articles of association, but we still had to 'wrong' them. Not for anything else, just because everybody doesn't believe in us. However, it turns out that Nielsen Data reports are always the most authentic, and we are the authorities in the industry. There can be no doubt about that! ”

Wallace, who had just been reinstated, grinned desperately and kept greeting the female relatives of all the company's top executives in his heart. and want to have some kind of physical contact with them.

Only the brainless Bordle would really think that the company had temporarily dismissed him as a 'last resort'. And he kept saying things like 'grateful', so that Wallace himself finally began to greet his female relatives.

Although the Film and Television Media Association and the police jointly issued a joint statement, the 'doubts' are still widespread.

Not only ordinary viewers, but in the face of the 18-49 rat ratio of 39.4 in "Prison Break", other TV stations will not believe it anyway.

This has nothing to do with the 'facts', it represents the position and attitude of the major TV stations.

Hype every day. Ordinary viewers are constantly questioning. Although 'Nielsen Data' has dissociated itself, TV A and Link have once again become the targets of bombardment.

These days. Link has never been out of the door, and he has shown surprisingly calm in the face of everyone's doubts.

Jessica and Mira are struggling to get through the tension all day. Whenever I see Link's still laughing. I can't help but stand up and hit him a few words.

"Aren't you really worried? This turmoil almost brought the powerful authority 'Nielsen Data' to the brink of falling apart, why are you still laughing all day long? ”

Link was still smiling at the reproach of the two of them: "Why should I worry? Now that the whole United States is hyping me, I should be happy! ”

Link said with a smile even more proudly: "Originally, I didn't think the ratings of "Prison Break" would be very high, because it was not an American drama with a wide audience. But now, I don't think so, because the whole of America is hyping it up for me. The second episode of "Prison Break" is broadcast, and the ratings are absolutely terrifying! Terror. You know what? ”

Link is really happy right now, one might even say excited! The excitement can't be calm!

He couldn't be clearer about American dramas like "Prison Break".

The reason why he didn't do any publicity for "Prison Break" and didn't invest a penny in advertising for it is actually not just because he wants to make it as simple as an online advertising platform.

Instead, "Prison Break" itself is not like ordinary American dramas, all the plots belong to the style of 'slashing and killing', nor is it like a sitcom, just laugh and don't need to think about it at all.

But "Prison Break" is not like this, it is full of 'alternative suspense' and 'suspense foreshadowing that is so delicate that it makes people collapse', this type of American drama is not a drama that is praised by the whole people, but an American drama that can only be understood by 'the upper class of society'.

As if to confirm Link's thoughts, Nielsen Data issued another statement after a joint investigation by the Film and Television Media Association and the police.

You can understand this statement from two perspectives. You could say he's hyping up Prison Break and Link, or you can say he's cementing his 'authoritative' image!

The content of this statement reads: "In order to avoid suspicion and make some people with intentions die, our company has to disclose more data information about "Prison Break". If anyone says that our company has received black money, then we will not give any explanation. ”

The statement reads: "After our company's rigorous data analysis, it was found that all the viewers who watched "Prison Break" were the most elite class in the United States. They have high incomes, high academic qualifications, and even from all the sources to the conclusion, it is not difficult to find that 8 of the top colleges and universities in the United States provide more than 5% of the ratings for "Prison Break".

There are also the largest conglomerates in the United States, many of which are viewers of "Prison Break". These data all show that it is no coincidence that "Prison Break" has a high ratio of 39.4 to 18-49 rats, but that Link will position "Prison Break" at the level of the "social elite".

So, it's not that my company's data is wrong, and it's not that my company has received black money from someone. Rather, it is the truth! Please believe that all the data reports of our company are absolutely the most authoritative. We hope that our customers will be relieved of their doubts about us from now on, and you will understand everything by looking at the ratings of "Prison Break". ”

When the latest life of Nielsen Data was released, there was also a wave of 'proof for Jailbreak' on the Internet.

The first person to start testifying about Link and "Prison Break" in the showme was none other than 'Quentin', the vice president of Yale University.

"I pledge by virtue of my personality that I watched the premiere of 'Prison Break' at the same time as several professors and graduate students at the university, and I have contacted most of the current students, and most of them admit to watching the premiere of 'Prison Break' and being deeply attracted to it," he wrote.

In order to let Link know what a good American drama he filmed for us. So, I signed up for a showme account and posted my first Weibo. At the same time, it is also to let everyone know that I, Quentin, vice president of Yale University, am a loyal viewer of "Prison Break." The above statements are absolutely true, and I assure God. ”

When 'Quentin', the vice president of Yale University, stood up to refute the rumors of "Prison Break" and bluntly said that he was the most loyal viewer of "Prison Break", the whole Internet was almost boiling for him.

Countless people were surprised to leave a large number of comments.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable! Even the vice president of Yale University is a 'brain-dead fan' of "Prison Break", and in order to prove it to Link, he actually registered a Weibo account in person? Is this true? ”

"Principal Quentin, you are so great, as a Yale student, I must stand up and say to you, mighty, bullish!"

"Damn, I don't know where so many people questioned Link and Prison Break. Did you really watch "Prison Break"? Did you understand "Prison Break"? If you really understand it, how can you jump up and question him? ”

"Support the upstairs brother to speak, I am the senior management of a certain automobile company, as for which car I will not explain. I just want you to know that I'm a fan of Prison Break, I'm a Yale graduate, I make $1.2 million a year, I just love Prison Break, and you just keep questioning it. ”

"Well, it seems that I need to say a few words. I had already seen the turmoil a few days ago, and I actually wanted to do something at that time, but I didn't have the influence of Principal Quentin, so I had to leave a message in his prestige. I'll just say that I'm worth about $4 million at the moment, I own a small company, I'm a graduate of the University of California, I have a master's degree. Finally, I'm a fan of Prison Break. And, I'll be organizing the whole company to watch the second episode of "Prison Break" together this Tuesday, and that's it, I swear in the name of God. ”

……

The prestige of 'Quentin', vice president of Yale University, was targeted by enthusiastic netizens on the front page in less than half an hour. The retweets and comments are still going crazy, which shows the enthusiasm of the fans of "Prison Break".

People who didn't know anything about the name "Prison Break" learned about this American drama almost instantly. Knowing that it is Link's latest blockbuster and that it is the latest series on CAA TV, and that the people who tune in to it are all 'highly educated, high-income' social elites.

This kind of rapid spread speed is almost impossible for any advertising channel to do.

Moreover, Link did not spend a penny for this, and he was still in the midst of the doubts of the whole people, and was personally pushed to the highest throne of 'widely known' by countless people.

The vigorous questioning, under the 'proof' of a large number of fans and celebrities from all walks of life, finally took off its title of being criticized and questioned, and in just one week, it successfully became the most discussed and concerned popular American drama in the United States.

With this unpredictable final result, the second Tuesday arrived.

The second episode of Prison Break will also air tonight. (To be continued......)
