Phil's plan not only succeeded in fooling all the audience, but also the two big consortia that brought in the title, as well as the other three judges.

To the public, Phil's move is the addiction of a rich second generation who has no other pursuit of life to come to a superhero talent show for a mentor, not for fame or profit, and he did his job well;

For other big consortia and mentors who cooperate with Phil's performance, Phil pays a lot of money to run this variety show just to pretend to be forced in front of the public, and it does not pose any threat to himself.

The audience didn't know that the show had a script, and they didn't know that the actual funder behind the show was Phil himself, so naturally they couldn't guess Phil's true purpose;

And the big conglomerates and mentors know that the show has a script, but this script did not cause a scandal or have a negative impact on the show, but brought a lot of heat, so at present, they have no motivation to leak this matter at all, which is tantamount to pouring dirty water on themselves.

For these people, Phil behaves like a whim loser, throwing 200 million dollars in order to create a "professional in the field of superheroes" in front of the public, but so what? What is fake cannot be real.

These people know very well that Phil's supernatural performance is based on the script, so they don't think that Phil will really pose a threat to their own interests at all.

So, the first phase of Phil's plan was a complete success.

So he hibernated, and began to wait patiently for the next stage.

Superheroes are a hot topic in Hope City, a city where both heaven and hell are murders, robberies, and other violent incidents occur every day, and there are cases of superheroes succeeding or failing to rescue hostages every day.

But Phil has not made any moves, and his Twitter has returned to normal, sharing private jets, yachts, young models, or photos of him going to some roadside shops to eat and take photos with fans every day.

It's just that compared with before, his Twitter has increased a lot of fans, and these fans have changed their opinion of him because of the talent show "Successor" and have become sincere supporters.

Until more than two months later.

A very egregious kidnapping case occurred in Hope City, where a gang of lawless gangsters kidnapped the young daughter of a wealthy businessman and demanded a huge ransom. The superheroes immediately went to the rescue, but due to a miscalculation of the enemy's strength, although some of the gangsters were killed and most of them were captured, the hostages were also brutally killed.

The youngest daughter of a wealthy businessman is kind, beautiful, and has a very high degree of favorability in the eyes of the public.

I don't know who filmed the tragic scene of the crime scene, the little angel fell in a pool of blood, her hands and feet were tied, her mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and her face was still covered with tears, and her death was poignant, which also aroused infinite sympathy from the public.

As a result, the three superheroes involved in the rescue faced huge pressure from public opinion.

Although they defended themselves and the gangsters did not seem to be coming for the ransom and did not think about releasing the hostages at all, the public did not accept such dumping and continued to pressure the Superhero Association to disqualify the three superheroes.

In the wave of public doubts, the power of these three superheroes plummeted, and the superhero association had to dissociate themselves from them, admitting their mistakes to the public while revoking the licenses of two of them, while the other was preserved because the relationship was hard enough, but it also required deep introspection, repentance, and volunteer work for a long time in front of the public to gradually calm the public anger.

The gangster who killed the young daughter of a wealthy businessman had already been killed on the spot, while the other gangsters who were captured alive had only committed kidnapping instead of murder, so if some of the jury members objected, they were sentenced to sentences ranging from ten years to several decades, and only the leader of the gangsters was sentenced to life imprisonment.

People came to the streets and spontaneously laid flowers in honor of the little angel to express their grief.

At this moment, Phil began to bombard all interest groups related to the incident on Twitter: superheroes did not have enough intelligence and ability to deal with this incident; The Superhero Association did not see the lack of ability and misuse of these three superheroes; The superheroes don't have a clear estimate of the city's potential risks, and they are just passively catching criminals, but they never think about solving the problem of the city's high crime rate in the first place......

Phil's speech sparked enthusiastic support from the public.

In the aftermath of this tragedy, the emotions of the people urgently need an outlet, there is always someone to take responsibility for this tragedy, and it is obviously not enough for just three superheroes to take the blame.

What's more, people already have a lot of grievances about the high crime rate in Hope City, and when Phil stands up, it plays a good role in adding fuel to the fire.

If that playboy Phil had commented on the incident a few months ago, most people would have thought that he was not ashamed to speak and stood and spoke.

But now, with the fiery influence of "The Successor", many people regard Phil as an industry insider who truly understands the ills of the superhero system.

Since Phil is an industry insider who really understands this, then what he says makes sense.

As a result, the angry public continued to vent their anger on the Superhero Association and other superheroes, and they angrily cursed, why did the Superhero Association send these three weak chickens to rescue the hostages? Why not send stronger superheroes to go? Why don't those stronger superheroes take the initiative to carry out their missions?

In fact, the Superhero Association only dispatched superheroes of the same specifications according to the level of crime, so you can't just send the top superheroes out of a kidnapping, robbery or something like that, right?

Everything came according to the normal rules and procedures, but the Superhero Association had a hard time, because the more they explained, the more it seemed like they were throwing the pot, which confirmed their incompetence even more.

Even though the Superhero Association has apologized repeatedly, the anger of the people has not subsided, and many fans expressed under Phil's Weibo that they hope Phil can come out and do what he can, if Phil is responsible for this incident, then the situation will definitely not turn out like this.

Phil responded on Twitter, saying that he had no intention of doing this, and the previous tweet was also a sincere outpouring of righteous indignation, emphasizing that the Superhero Association has been very successful in dealing with "most problems", and although he made a "small but fatal" mistake this time, as long as he can seriously improve his own problems, he is still trustworthy.

Fans also expressed their understanding of Phil, after all, he is a billionaire and has his own company to take care of, so there is no reason to wade into this troubled water. But fans still hope that Phil will comment more on superhero-related events in the future.

Phil reluctantly agreed.

As a result, Phil began to comment on superheroes-related events on Twitter. If an operation is successful, he will review the successful experience in detail and praise the successful superhero; When an operation fails, he will also carefully review the lessons of the failure, and lash out at the failed superheroes or the association itself.

Of course, these comments were created by his team of thinkers, who then edited them and posted them on Twitter.

Such detailed, professional, easy-to-understand and very down-to-earth commentary has given Phil's fans a strong sense of participation, as they can see the details of these actions from God's perspective, and at the same time, their worship and trust in Phil have deepened.

As for Phil's behavior, although the superheroes are unhappy, they are helpless.

Because Phil is very clever in what he says.

For the most part, he joins the authorities in shooting down the water dogs — superheroes who don't have many followers and make obvious mistakes — after a failed mission;

In a small number of cases, he will not hesitate to praise superheroes who have successfully completed tasks and have more fans, winning the favor of these superhero fans;

And on rare occasions, Phil will piggyback on a few criticisms of the Superhero Association. But the superhero association has a big business, and it is impossible to really tear up with Phil, not to mention that if it is really torn up, it is creating heat for Phil.
