Chapter 871: Her Majesty Starts a Livestream
He Xin thought Yan Weiyang was crazy.
It’s just a ranking list, without any substantial rewards, not even a trophy.
There’s no need to battle Xia Weibao to the death!
Vote rigging has always been one of the fanbase’s most detested actions. Her reputation is already bad now, and if people discover she’s manipulating votes, how can she clear her name in the future?
However, she couldn’t persuade Yan Weiyang.
Yan Weiyang took a deep breath, "Buy the expensive kind, don’t leave any evidence. Anyway, no matter what, I’m Empire Entertainment’s Top Sister—no one can take my position or my resources, so what if my reputation stinks.
Just make more movies, and after enough time, who will still remember the scandals of the past."
Heroes don’t ask where they come from.
How many ancient emperors were clean? Even if they were infamous before, so what? Everyone only sees your success!
He Xin gave in reluctantly and started rigging votes.
The kind of votes she rigged were the most expensive ones, all from accounts that were real. These were accounts that had been abandoned after someone lost their password, stopped using them, or got hacked, and then picked up by the manipulators.
No matter how you check these accounts, you can’t find any traces of fraud.
The cost was considerably high.
Anyway, it was Yan Weiyang’s money that was being spent, so He Xin didn’t say more.
To make it look authentic, Yan Weiyang posted a group of pictures on Weibo on that day to solicit votes, and then the number of votes increased.
On the surface, it seemed because she posted pictures for votes, her fans voted for her.
Within a day, she overtook Xia Weibao by 300,000 votes!
"Damn! I bet my life Yan Weiyang is rigging the vote!" Leng Yan roared furiously, like a Fire-breathing Dragon.
Xia Shi said expressionlessly, "It’s obvious."
Yan Weiyang had started soliciting votes a long time ago; the votes her fans had were already cast.
There’s no way they would hold onto them until now.
With her current situation, casual votes from passersby would never be cast for her.
Posting pictures is useless.
Besides, the pictures she posted didn’t make any waves; the comments were few, and there were hardly any shares.
Who would believe she isn’t rigging them?
There are already discussions online saying she’s rigging votes, but there’s no evidence.
"I say Xia Weibao, why aren’t you worried at all? Tomorrow is the last day." Leng Yan was full of anger.
He noticed, right from the start, that Xia Weibao was calm, watching Yan Weiyang jump around without any reaction.
Xia Weibao snapped her fingers, "What is there to fear, I have a trump card."
Seeing her vote count surpass Xia Weibao by 300,000 votes, Yan Weiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Though there are people online calling her shameless for rigging votes, it hasn’t stirred up any major storms.
After all, those accounts are real and leave no trace of manipulation.
Even though it cost five times the price of normal vote rigging, it was worth it.
Xia Weibao, with only one day left, let’s see how you beat me!
The next day, the first thing Xia Weibao did when she returned to the company was post on Weibo, announcing a live broadcast at ten o’clock.
The goal was simple, to solicit votes!
Leng Yan was a bit confused, "Why are you starting a live broadcast?"
"To get votes," Xia Weibao shot him a look, wasn’t that obvious?
"But starting a live broadcast and expecting to get 300,000 votes?"
Are you serious?
It’s true that stars starting live broadcasts can attract some traffic, a lot of female stars have done it to solicit votes, and some even broadcast every day.
Initially, it has some effect, but its effectiveness decreases as time goes on.
After all, the viewers of live broadcasts are mostly her own fans.
And her fans’ votes would have already been cast.
Starting a live broadcast now can be considered completely ineffective.
