Chapter 227 The Naked Swimmer

In a mansion in Los Angeles worth more than $200 million.

Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber, and Greg, who flew back to Los Angeles from Europe, were having a lively celebration banquet.

In four days, the click-through rate exceeded 5000 million, which is only one step away from breaking the [-] million mark.

The spread of social networks is always getting faster and faster. I believe it is entirely possible to break through [-] million within a week.

"The success this time proves one thing. A golden signboard on social networks still has huge potential value to be tapped. Now the money earned by a song and the sensational effect it creates are greater than the result of a singer's efforts in a year, or even a lifetime."

Everyone present, after hearing what Scooter Braun said, couldn't stop nodding.

Justin Bieber was only 17 years old and didn't know much about this kind of thing. He just drank wine and listened with a smirk on his face.

None of these things interested him much.

"The most important thing is that you are a gold medal pusher!" Greg raised his glass with a smile.

With a clang, Scooter Braun smiled at his admiration.

"To be honest, I didn't think so deeply at the time, but ever since Miracle Entertainment made Uncle Psy popular, I've been thinking and analyzing, why use a song to make a chubby person who doesn't sing professionally and can't dance become a superstar?"

Judging from his tone, it seems that he admires Yang Huan's behavior of praising Uncle Red Bird.

"Later, I felt that we should also give it a try, so we had this success!"

Having said that, Scooter Braun raised his glass high.

"Here, I must also thank Mr. Greg for his great support, happy cooperation!"

Greg also quickly raised his glass, "I wish us a happy cooperation!"

All the people in the room immediately raised their wine glasses high, cheering with joy and laughter.

Justin Bieber is a young man after all, and he has no interest in being with these middle-aged people, so he walked to the living room by himself.

With a snap, the big seventy-inch TV in the living room was turned on.

"Our reporter reported that once the popular singer Justin Bieber's new single was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the Internet and media fields. On the famous video website Youtubie, the MV of the new single has only been released for four days, but it has already created more than 5000 million hits. The limelight is like no other."

"However, as the so-called popular right and wrong, there has always been controversy over Justin Bieber's new single."

"Just this morning, our station received an exclusive report from an informant. This person who claims to be the assistant to the president of Budweiser Europe has a lot of evidence in his hands, proving that Justin Bieber's new single not only has serious data fraud, but even his so-called laptop was stolen. He is also deceiving netizens."

"Let's hear what he has to say!"

Perhaps it was because the TV was turned on too loudly, and the crowd who were celebrating in a row were all attracted here at once.

Everyone is watching the news on CNN.

And when Greg saw the confidant who was fired by him on the spot because he flattered and slapped the horse's leg on the screen, he was dumbfounded, not only stupid, but also panicked.

Too many things are handled by this person, and he went to the TV station to expose himself?

"I am the assistant to the president of the former European branch of Budweiser."

"I have enough evidence to prove that Justin Bieber's new single has a very serious behavior of brushing clicks. All this is done by the team of the record company, and Greg, the president of Budweiser Europe, also hired people to do it."

"That Greg, is simply not human!"

"He doesn't treat employees as human beings at all. I just can't understand his behavior of fooling the netizens, so I raised some objections. As a result, he fired me on the spot and didn't give me severance pay."

"So, I want to stand up and testify against him, revealing all the truth!"

"These are the evidences I can provide, let's take a look!"

Scooter Braun was no longer interested in seeing any evidence, and turned to Greg immediately.

"What's going on here?" Scooter Braun pointed at the TV and asked right away, with a very unfriendly tone.

Greg was also caught off guard, "I don't know, this bastard went to the TV station to sell me out of nothing!"

"He said you fired him."

Greg certainly couldn't say that this guy was a flatterer, "This kid is unreliable. After I found out, I fired him on the spot. I didn't expect him to go to the TV station."

Scooter Braun slapped his forehead hard.

He is really not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.

I don't understand how this kind of person can get into the position of president of the European region, and he still has such influence in Budweiser.

"You don't know?" Scooter Braun wanted to throw the bastard straight out of the mansion.

"You don't know, but now he is going to the TV station to expose us!"

Greg was also speechless, not knowing how to answer.

"Look at his evidence. It's almost certain. Even CNN has reported it. Soon, all major TV stations in the United States will report it. How will we explain it then? How can we give the public an explanation?"

When Greg fired the confidant before, he was also dizzy due to lack of sleep, but now he is sober.

"Simply, let's come to one who refuses to admit it. His evidence is one-sided, and we will never admit it!"

Scooter Braun also felt that this was the only way to do it for the time being.

But at this moment, someone rang the doorbell of the mansion.

The black maid ran to open the door, only to find several police cars parked outside the door at unknown times, and the police lights kept flashing.

"What's going on?" Scooter Braun came over.

"Hello, Mr. Scooter Braun, we are from the Los Angeles Police Department. Regarding Justin Bieber tweeting that his laptop and mobile phone were stolen, it has aroused public attention. Many fans have called us to ask us to investigate and punish the thief severely."

When Scooter Braun heard this, his hands and feet panicked immediately.

"So, now, please follow us back with Justin Bieber to assist in the investigation!"

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

17-year-old Justin? Bieber is the whole person was bluffed.

Everyone knows that this is a scene, but if the police intervene, it will be of a completely different nature.

Damn, why did the wind vane of everything suddenly change?

"We'll go with you."

Even if he is a well-known person in the entertainment industry, Scooter Braun does not dare to hold him against the authority of law enforcement.

But just as he took Justin Bieber out of the gate of the mansion, the spotlight suddenly flashed outside.

The dazzling spotlight caused Scooter Braun and others to quickly cover their eyes.

Damn, the outside is full of media reporters who have heard the news.

It's over, it's over, this time it's a big embarrassment!

Sara Kamanga pushed open the door of the high-level conference room of Utopia.

This forceful move immediately startled all the top executives in the conference room.

Qi Qi looked over and found that the rumored confidant of Larry Page, who had just taken office not long ago, had a very ugly face.

"Who can tell me what happened to Justin Bieber's hit single?"

The global vice president of Google had just finished asking, and someone stood up immediately.

"Mr. Kamanga, this is actually a common practice in music companies."

Sara Kamanga tilted her body and looked at them with a sneer: "So, you all know."

The executive looked around the crowd, took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Yes, RCA, Sony, Universal and other music companies basically do this, and it doesn't do us any harm..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a bang, and Sarah Kamanga slammed her fist on the desk.

"What is no harm? Do we have to wait until all advertisers abandon our platform and put us on the sponsorship blacklist before we start to figure out a solution?"

Everyone present was shocked and did not dare to say anything more.

"I used to be in charge of advertising. I know better than everyone here that what advertisers value most. They don't care about money. What they want is effects, real effects, not the exaggerated but worthless numbers you listed!"

Everyone knew that Sara Kamanga must have been called by the president to give her a tough reprimand.

At this time, turn around and forward the fire on their heads.

Who let Justin? Bieber's new single get hits exposed, triggering protests from advertisers?
Justin? Bieber can click, what about the others?Are you also brushing?
If they are all swiping, what is the point of advertising?
"According to what you said, all the music companies are doing it, so Gangnam Style is also doing it?"

In the past half a year, this song has been outstanding on Youtubie, and it has become a signature.

It can even be said that it is a monument beyond the reach of countless record companies.

"No!" The executive who stood up just now shook his head.

"They didn't use it?" Sara Kamanga was a little surprised.

"I can't guarantee whether it is used or not, but based on a comprehensive analysis of the click-through rate and the length of time users watch the video, it should be no, because if it is true, it will cost hundreds of thousands of millions of users."

This project is too big, and the cost is too staggering, who can afford it?

"Actually, Jiangnan Style's early data is very eye-catching, but not outrageous." Another executive stood up and analyzed.

"And if I remember correctly, when this song was released, it happened that their boss smashed Aston Martin in South Korea because of Yoona Lin. This was a big news at the time, which attracted a lot of attention. In addition to other factors, for example, some stars shared the video link on WeChat, Facebook and Twitter, so there is no need to swipe."

Sarah Kaman couldn't help but nodded.

"Look, take a look, this is a big case. The facts tell us that as long as you have the strength, even if you don't use it, you can still show up. As a platform, we should vigorously support such high-quality projects."

Everyone present understood what Sarah Kamanga meant.

"The headquarters has decided, change, big change!"

When Sarah Kamanga said this, the audience was in an uproar.

"Change? Change the rules and ranking algorithm?"

"Yes, we need to establish a set of rules and order that can better ensure that high-quality products stand out, and ensure that advertisers will not lose confidence in us!"

"Then... when did it start?"

"Now, now, now!"

…………

…………

Following Sara Kamanga's words, the entire Youdu began to go crazy.

The crackdown storm was like a tornado passing through the country, sweeping across the entire Youtubie platform, and the data of major record companies plummeted.

Sony Records' channel originally had 5000 million hits, but it suddenly plummeted to 200 million.

This is not just water, it is simply the ocean!
Universal Music was also cut off a billion hits, and RCA lost the least, but it was cut from 6000 million to 2000 million.

The data of the three major music companies have all experienced a sharp dive, which is jaw-dropping.

The data of Justin Bieber's new single on the list has also been reduced from the original 2000 million to more than 400 million. The shrinking range is really surprising.

Youtubie's heavy attack immediately shocked the industry, thinking that this is Utubie's strong crackdown on data fraud.

This round of anti-counterfeiting storm has also aroused the attention of all walks of life on the Internet, and even the traditional media.

The American CNN TV station also specially recorded a program called "The Truth Comes Out", and quoted a quote from Warren Buffett, the stock god, that only when the tide is low do you know who is a naked swimmer.

The program believes that when several major record companies dive, real high-quality products will emerge.

For example, Uncle Psy's Jiangnan Style's two MVs did not fluctuate much in click-through rate, and they are still far ahead in the rankings of Youtubie.

Lin Yuner's two singles are also full of limelight, and even the newly launched Lagonda Conqueror advertisement, the click-through rate has always maintained a steady increase.

When the hits of Justin Bieber's new single were reduced to more than 400 million, Yoona Lin's ad hits increased to 400 million, the gap is not too big.

What made netizens feel even more depressed was that Justin Bieber and his manager Scooter Braun had to hold a grand press conference after being called in by the police to assist in the investigation.

But this time, it is not to build momentum for the new single, nor is it to explain the falsified data of the new single, but to clarify the previous laptop and mobile phone theft at the request of the police.

"I would like to apologize to all netizens and fans. The so-called theft of laptops and mobile phones is just a marketing tactic made by me and my team. I regret my deception and hope to be forgiven by netizens and fans."

But no matter how sincere Justin Bieber said at the press conference, even in tears, it was useless.

Except for a small number of hardcore fans who still support him, the majority of other netizens have chosen to abandon him.

Who is willing to believe a liar who has sworn before?
But these netizens are also very depressed.

The major record companies are unreliable, and neither is the bad boy Justin Bieber.

These days, what else is reliable?

Perhaps, Uncle Psy and Lin Yuner are okay.

As a result, countless people began to look forward to their new single.

And Miracle Entertainment also fulfilled Yang Huan's previous promise, and officially launched the second generation of Uncle Psy and Lin Yuner's Divine Comedy after giving up their opponents for a week and under the endless calls of countless netizens.
