Chapter 904 "SUCCESSOR/Successor" (4)
Phil's plan not only successfully deceived all the audience, but also deceived the two major consortiums that were brought to the title, as well as three other judges.
For the public, Phil's move is a rich second generation who has no other pursuit of life to have a mentor on a superhero talent show, not for fame or profit, and he has done his job well;
For other large groups and mentors who cooperated with Phil's performance, Phil offered a high price to hold this variety show just to pretend to be a thug in front of the public and would not pose any threat to his side.
The audience did not know that the show had a script, nor did they know that the actual investor behind the show was Phil himself, so naturally they could not guess Phil's real purpose;
The large consortium and mentors knew that the program had a script, but the script did not cause a scandal, did not have a negative impact on the program, but instead brought a lot of popularity. So at present, they had no motivation to leak this matter, which was like throwing dirty water on themselves.
For these people, Phil's performance is like a prodigal son who spent 200 million yuan to create the image of a "professional in the superhero field" in front of the public, but so what? The fake cannot be real.
These people know very well that Phil's super god performance is based on the script, so they don't think Phil will really pose a threat to his own interests.
Therefore, Phil's first phase plan was successful.
So he became dormant and began to wait patiently for the opportunity of the next stage.
Superheroes are a hot topic in Hope City. In this city that is both heaven and hell, violent incidents such as murder, robbery occur every day, and there are also cases of superheroes successfully or failure in rescuing hostages every day.
But Phil has not made any moves, and his Twitter has returned to normal. Every day, he shares photos of private jets, yachts, young models, or photos of him having dinner with fans at some roadside shops.
However, compared with the past, his Twitter has increased a lot of fans. These fans have changed his mind because of the talent show "Successor" and have become a sincere supporter.
Until more than two months later.
A very serious kidnapping case occurred in Hope City. A group of lawless gangsters kidnapped the young daughter of a wealthy businessman and demanded a huge ransom. The superheroes immediately went to rescue, but because of miscalculation of the enemy's strength, although some of the gangsters were killed and most of them were captured alive, the hostages were also brutally killed.
The youngest daughter of a wealthy businessman is kind and beautiful, and has a very high favorability in the public's mind.
I don’t know who took the tragic situation at the crime scene. The little angel fell in a pool of blood. Her hands and feet were tied, her mouth was stuffed with cloth strips, and tears were still on her face. She died sadly and aroused unlimited sympathy from the public.
As a result, the three superheroes involved in the rescue faced huge public pressure.
Although they defended themselves, the gangsters did not seem to have come for ransom and had never thought about releasing the hostages, the public did not accept such a behavior of passing the blame. Instead, they continued to put pressure on the Superhero Association to cancel the qualifications of these three superheroes.
Amid the public's doubts, the power of these three superheroes plummeted, and the Superhero Association had to separate from them. While admitting their mistakes to the public, the licenses of two of the superheroes were revoked. The other was protected because the relationship was strong enough. However, it also needed to reflect deeply and confess in front of the public, and volunteer for a long time to gradually calm the public's anger.
The gangster who was furious to kill the young daughter of a wealthy businessman has been shot dead on the spot, while the other gangsters captured alive only committed the crime of kidnapping rather than murder. Therefore, when some of the jury members opposed it, they were sentenced to punishments ranging from ten years to decades, and only the leader of the gangster was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The people came to the streets and spontaneously presented flowers to the little angel to express their grief.
At this moment, Phil began to bombard all interest groups related to this incident on Twitter: the superheroes do not have enough intelligence and ability to deal with this incident; the Superhero Association did not see the lack of abilities of these three superheroes and mis-employed people; the superheroes did not have a clear estimate of the hidden risks of the city. They were just passively catching criminals, but never thought about fundamentally solving the problem of the high crime rate in Hope City...
Phil's speech aroused warm support from the public.
After this tragedy, the public's emotions urgently need an outlet to vent, and there are always people who are responsible for this tragedy. It is obviously not enough to just take the blame for the three superheroes.
What's more, people have already accumulated a lot of resentment about the high crime rate of Hope City. When Phil stood up, it played a good role in adding fuel to the fire.
If the playboy Phil commented on the incident a few months ago, most people would feel that he was arrogant and did not feel hurt when he stood up.
But now, with the hot influence of "Successor", many people regard Phil as an industry insider who truly understands the chronic diseases of the superhero system.
Since Phil is an industry insider who truly understands these things, what he said makes sense.
So, the angry public continued to vent their anger on the Superhero Association and other superheroes, and they scolded him, why did the Superhero Association send these three weak chickens to rescue the hostages? Why didn't the stronger superheroes send? Why didn't those stronger superheroes take the initiative to perform missions?
In fact, the Superhero Association only sends superheroes of the same specification according to the crime level. You can't just send out the top superheroes if you have kidnapping or robbery.
Everything is done in accordance with normal regulations and procedures, but the Superhero Association will have trouble saying, because the more they explain, the more they feel like they are passing the blame, which further confirms their incompetence.
Even though the Superhero Association apologized repeatedly, the public's anger has not subsided. Many fans expressed on Phil's Weibo that they hope Phil can do something within their ability. If Phil is responsible for this incident, the situation will definitely not be like this.
Phil responded on Twitter, saying that he had no intention of this, and the previous Twitter was also a true expression of righteous indignation. He emphasized that the Superhero Association was very successful in dealing with "most problems". Although this time it made a "small and fatal" mistake, as long as it can seriously improve its problems, it is still trustworthy.
Fans also expressed their understanding of Phil. After all, they are billionaires and have their own companies to manage, so there is no reason to come to this muddy water. But fans still hope that Phil can comment more superhero-related events in the future.
Phil reluctantly agreed to this request.
So, Phil began to comment on events related to superheroes on Twitter. When a certain action is successful, he will review the successful experience in detail and praise the successful superheroes; when a certain action is failed, he will also carefully review the failure lessons and fiercely criticize the failed superhero or the association itself.
Of course, these comments were created by his think tank team, and then he polished them and posted them on his Twitter.
Such detailed, professional, easy to understand and very down-to-earth comments have given Phil's fans a strong sense of participation, and they can see the details of all aspects of these actions from the perspective of God. At the same time, their worship and trust in Phil are becoming increasingly deepened.
Although the superheroes were unhappy about Phil's behavior, they could do nothing about it.
Because Phil's remarks are very clever.
In most cases, he took down the Water Dog with the official after the mission failed—the superheroes who had few fans and made obvious mistakes;
In some cases, he will praise the superheroes who have completed the task successfully and have a lot of fans, which has won the favor of these superhero fans;
In rare cases, Phil would criticize the Superhero Association. But the Superhero Association has a big family and a big business, and it is impossible to really fight with Phil, let alone the real fight is creating popularity for Phil.
