Chapter 356: Results of the Federal Capital Production Competition (2)

If we talk about the most popular entries on StarNet this year, the Federal Capital Production Competition is definitely on the list.

After some cheating controversies during the previous Federal Capital Production Competition and the problem of falsified results at the end of the competition, many federal netizens questioned the professionalism and fairness of this competition.

Although the official competition released all the data afterwards to prove that the criticisms were all smear campaigns by bad marketing accounts, this also greatly affected the reputation of the competition.

This led to the last competition inviting a number of well-known producers with S-level ratings or above to come to the rescue and restore the reputation.

These extraordinary master-level producers produce all kinds of blockbuster works, which are a feast for the visual and auditory senses.

But the common problems of these veteran producers are obvious: both the narrative and the plot are very sophisticated, too smooth to show any novelty.

So the ratings should have been getting higher from the preliminary round to the final, but in the end, the closer it got to the final, the lower the ratings became, even hitting a record low on the day of the final.

At the same time, because the competition gap in this high-end game was too obvious, many producers from the previous session became cannon fodder.

The ratings of these producers' previous works were all good, but the gap between their current works was too big, which directly caused all kinds of doubts and ridicule from marketing accounts.

Unlike the last Federal Capital Production Competition, which had a record low viewership, the eliminated producers actually gained a lot of "traffic" on StarNet.

But they are all negative traffic and reviews.

There is a group of bad media whose purpose is to dig out hot spots and increase traffic. They don’t care about right or wrong, nor do they care about the consequences of spreading rumors.

They cut out the data and scores of the producers who were eliminated from the competition and made their own judgments.

Just throw out a little gimmick to attract the crowd and you can get a lot of attention.

But they are essentially playing word games, only misleading the masses and not objectively evaluating the rights and wrongs of the producers.

So in the end, the producer who was defamed by them was ready to sue them, but the court rejected the case due to insufficient evidence.

As for the few producers who successfully sued, they ended up getting into trouble and only received a small amount of compensation.

So the producers complained to the Interstellar Producers Association, demanding an explanation from the Federal Capital Production Competition.

There is nothing the Federal Capital Production Competition can do about it. The policies from decades ago are still imperfect and not very targeted, which gives unscrupulous marketing accounts the opportunity to exploit loopholes.

This indirectly led to the previous federal highest administrative body, the Federation, resubmitting policy changes regarding the incorrect guidance of StarNet public opinion.

After this, the Star Network within the Federation has tightened its control measures on news suspected of smear campaigns and those that lead to smear campaigns.

This is also why when Ouyang Lan first came to the interstellar space, all the news he saw had explosive headlines, but the actual content was very clear and plain.

Even if AI is used to compile and modify news texts, if it violates the legal bottom line, it will be sued.

All media outlets in the federation are worried about their safety and dare not publish news that deliberately creates a negative tone to guide public opinion.

But those producers who were discredited were left with such a shadow that even after more than ten years, they were unwilling to set foot in the Federal Capital Production Competition again.

Therefore, before producers such as Ouyang Lan and Jiang Wenwu announced their participation in the Federal Capital Production Competition, the competition officials had been struggling with how to invite producers.

A competition without contestants is like a self-entertainment. No matter how big the gimmicks and fame are, few viewers are willing to buy into it in the end.

In addition, the negative public opinion from the previous two competitions was too strong, so the Federal Capital Production Competition officials had to work with the Producers Association to issue a new regulation on producer ratings.

Many netizens who were aware of the controversies surrounding the first two Federal Capital Production Competitions opened new threads to place bets before the competition began, guessing whether this year's ratings would break the previous low.

But later, after Ouyang Lan and other producers announced their participation in the competition, everyone's bets shifted to guessing whether this year's ratings could break a new record.

"I didn't expect the competition to be able to make a comeback... The ratings of the first two competitions were almost catching up with the midnight variety shows."

"It's mainly because the producers this year are better, right?"

"Then wasn't Mr. Wen good last year? Mr. Song from the year before was also a master producer who had been famous for many years... So many great producers didn't raise the ratings of the competition."

"It's mainly because the first two years were too boring... Productions need to be constantly innovative. Otherwise, if they just follow the same popular plots except for the different styles and details, it would be boring to watch."

"Indeed, the theme of last year's finals was 'War'. All you could see was a battle against the Zerg, with all kinds of magnificent scenes piled up... It was okay the first time I watched it, but after watching it for so many years, I've gotten tired of it."

"Before the battle, either he made a wish with his brothers to marry his lover after returning, and ended up dying heroically on the battlefield, or he and his lover faced the wormhole swallowing together..."

“I can guess what their next line will be with my eyes closed.”

"That's normal. It takes a long time for producers to polish their works. The competition system of the Federal Capital Production Competition is not reasonable. Asking producers to finish a work that would take one to two years or even more than ten years to produce in half a month or a month is no different from making things difficult for them."

"In fact, in my impression, the Federal Capital Production Competition is just about showing the audience the same script and their own production level and style."

"It's like a game of spot the difference. It's the same fruit, but some people cut it up and serve it, while others carve it into flowers and serve it, but the result is the same."

"Maybe there are more young people in this class? I feel there are a lot of new ideas."

"It could also be that the public opinion in the previous two sessions was too bad, and the participating producers were too cautious and didn't dare to step out of the norm."

"This competition always makes people feel uneasy. We are worried that the competition will not be run well, and we are also worried that the competition will be too good and the data will be changed and falsified."

"Didn't we clarify before that the fraud was fake?"

"There is no fraud, it's just a face-saving project using a tiered scoring system...Isn't this even more ridiculous than fraud? It's just a balance for the sake of the producer's face."

"There was one producer whose score was lowered a little when calculating because of a high audience vote. That producer never participated in any Producers Guild competition again."

"The Federal Capital Production Competition officials have done so many bad things. They must not mess around again this year!"

"Don't worry, Ouyang Lan's unofficial fan club recorded the game data in real time. If the official data released in the end is different from the data calculated by the recording..."

"Then there will be something interesting to watch. The Star Network will definitely be very popular."
