On May 2 1 day, this spectacular phenomenon became the focus of attention of major media and Weibo users in the following days. The public's surprise, blessing, ridicule and discussion on marriage once put this special wedding on the hot search list of Weibo.
However, when interviewing this incident, the reporter found that this is not the case. ...
/Hot wedding/
The 43-person graduating class 15 held a collective wedding for the couple, of which 8 couples had obtained the certificate.
In the middle of the lawn surrounded by green hills, there are many flowers, including suits, wedding dresses and emcees. The bride and groom embraced each other warmly and misty, creating a romantic atmosphere for the wedding.
According to the online article, the bride and groom at the wedding scene are 15 couples from a senior class majoring in engineering cost management in a university in Chengdu. There are 43 people in the class. The monitor is the planner of the collective wedding and one of the grooms. The monitor said frankly that it's not easy for the couple in the class 15 to come to the present. I hope that everyone will not give up love for practical reasons after graduation, so I planned this activity.
The next day, some media disclosed more details in their reports on this matter. There are 43 people in this graduating class, including 26 boys, 7 girls/kloc-0 and 5 lovers/kloc-0. The monitor began to plan this activity in April this year. After consulting with his classmates, he thought it was a memorable way. In less than a month, 15 rented a wedding dress for the couple, found friends to help host and video, and contacted the bus to rush to a scenic spot in Chongqing. At the same time, after the scenic spot learned about this incident, it also exempted their venue fees. There is an update in the report. Among the couples in the same class of 15, 8 couples have already received marriage certificates.
/fact or hype/
Netizens talked about it in succession and became a hot search in Weibo, and a travel service company also tested the water for it.
"43 people in the class did 15 pairs, and 8 pairs got marriage certificates." With the media reports, the news began to spread on the Internet like a virus. Labels such as "Never Break Up After Graduation", "The Strongest Class" and "The Most Loving Class" began to be reprinted as various Weibo themes, including the official Weibo of many news media.
Netizens also sent blessings to 15 couples and felt sorry for the remaining 13 classmates. They talk freely and enjoy it, and rational netizens even have a big discussion on the marriage problems of college students after graduation, including career and family, reality and love. Driven by all kinds of forwarding, hot discussion and discussion, the topic of "43 people in the class have 15 couples" has been read by nearly 90 million people in just three days, and it has been listed on the hot search list of Weibo. Many provincial TV stations also inserted this news in the form of picture news in their programs. This special wedding earned enough attention before the Dragon Boat Festival this year. The reporter found that on the day of this news, all the forwarded news did not mention the schools and wedding venues of these graduates in detail, but only indicated a university in Chengdu and a scenic spot in Chongqing.
However, on May 22nd, Chongqing Campus Jun, a local blogger in Chongqing, mentioned in Weibo that the wedding venue was "Chongqing Jinfo Mountain Scenic Area". Subsequently, the news was continuously forwarded, and the place name of "Jinfo Mountain" began to appear frequently. At the same time, the reporter found that Chengdu Chuangzhidao Technology Co., Ltd., referred to as Youth Travel Sales for short, also forwarded the news on its official Weibo "Where to Travel", and even contacted a number of news media and Weibo, a well-known local Chengdu. Why does a youth travel service company work so hard to promote the collective wedding held in a scenic spot in Chongqing?
/full of doubts/
I dare not mention that the school is afraid of being punished, but I don't mind uploading photos and videos to the internet.
On the morning of May 23, the reporter met the monitoring of wedding planning in the news report at the entrance and exit of Tianfu Square subway. This boy, who wears black-rimmed glasses and white sneakers and claims not to have graduated, is currently working as an intern in a company near Tianfu Square. He is full of vigilance about his name, age, school, internship unit and other information. "We just want to make a memorial in this way, so that everyone should not give up their love because of graduation." His answer looks well-trained and quite like an experienced person.
What the monitor told the reporter about the wedding was almost the same as what he told the media before. "I planned my own activities, and now eight couples have received marriage certificates." For the incredible phenomenon that 43 people in a class have made 15 couples, the other party said that the relationship between the students in the class has always been relatively United and there is fate between them. "Every couple encounters some contradictions, I will help them coordinate and often take everyone to engage in some group activities." The other party is used to putting all the reporters' questions on themselves. During the conversation, the monitor specifically mentioned that the reason why he didn't want to tell the school was because he had previously organized classmates to go out by car and was warned by the school. He is worried that the school will find out this time. "I haven't got my diploma yet."
"That this time there is already a photo of you online, and the attention is very high. Is there anything wrong with the school? " The reporter asked.
"Anyway, the school hasn't found me yet." The monitor replied.
"Didn't you think that the school teacher might ask you when he saw your photo?"
The other party casually said, "That's true."
Before leaving the monitor, the reporter proposed to interview more students and look at their marriage certificates. The other side remains vigilant. "This is someone else's privacy. I can not help you with anything. As for whether you think it is true or not, it has nothing to do with us, as long as we know it ourselves. "
At the reporter's repeated request, the monitor said frankly, "They also told me about getting the certificate. Anyway, seven couples told me that I got the certificate and I got it myself. " He admitted that he had only heard of it and had not verified it. The monitor sent a number of photos of the wedding day to the reporter, including the scene of the group wedding and the scene of his hugging his girlfriend.
Later, he gave the reporter a phone call from a classmate who "attended the wedding and got the certificate" through WeChat, saying, "Only he is willing to come forward and talk to you."
The reporter called this classmate, and the other party said, "I got the marriage certificate a few days ago", but I couldn't tell the date of getting the certificate, and said that I haven't told my parents about getting the certificate yet. Regarding the 43 students in the class, he explained that all the boys in the class are engineering male, and they are at home at ordinary times, and rarely contact with the female students outside the class. "The girls in our class are ok." From the beginning to the end, this classmate didn't want to provide any evidence about his license, but he accidentally named the monitor Li Fei.
Subsequently, the reporter compared the photos sent by the monitor with those circulated on the Internet, and the photos were the same. However, the couple with the largest number of people at the wedding scene in the photo also showed only 1 1 pair, while the other party said there were 15 pairs. The monitor explained that it was a little cold that day, and several students were not feeling well, so they didn't attend the ceremony. There are indications that there are many questionable details in this eye-catching collective wedding.
The reporter added his WeChat with the phone number given by the monitor. The boy named Liu Guangtao (not his real name) marked "Where to play, focus on youth travel sales" in the column of personality signature. According to the search, Liu Guangtao is now the network supervisor of Chengdu Chuangzhidao Technology Co., Ltd., majoring in marketing in Leshan Normal University, and will graduate in 20 17. In a photo in Weibo with the name of Chengdu Chuangzhidao Company as the background, Li Fei, the monitor who met a reporter at the subway entrance of Tianfu Square, appeared.
The reporter searched for an article published by the School of Physics and Electronic Engineering of Leshan Normal University in official website in April of 20 16, telling the typical entrepreneurial deeds of Li Fei, a graduate of the 20th16. It is mentioned that Li Fei is a Grade 20 12 material major in Leshan Teachers College, and now he is the product manager of Chengdu Chuangzhidao Technology Co., Ltd. A promotional material on "Where to Travel" also mentions that Li Fei, the product manager, is good at planning scenic spots.
At the same time, the reporter also canvassed for his girlfriend Wang Xue to participate in the talent contest of "Celebrity Meeting in Jinfo Mountain Campus" in Li Fei's WeChat circle of friends. After photo comparison, the girlfriend in Li Fei WeChat is the girl who attended the wedding of Jinfo Mountain with him. According to his girlfriend Wang Xue, her school is Southwest Jiaotong University. In the photo of Wang Xue and Weibo, the boy in the photo is Li Fei posted on the website of Leshan Normal University. According to the reporter's understanding, the above three people who participated in the collective wedding of Jinfo Mountain were not graduates of a university in Chengdu, nor were they in the same class.
On the same day, the reporter found in the Weibo of Li Fei's girlfriend Wang Xue that when replying to a friend's comment on the group wedding, Wang Xue admitted that one of the brides in the photo was herself, and said, "In fact, this is just an activity planned by Hui Hui. I am going to cooperate with the acting." "They just used a lot of media to forward, interview and do news. There was a lot of news the other day. Today is the 26th, and it has basically stopped. "
This activity was planned by the company, and the title was exaggerated when it was publicized.
On May 26th, the storm caused by this collective wedding has gradually subsided, but "Where to Travel" made an interview with "Monitor" in Weibo, "Why did the collective wedding for graduation trip go to Chongqing Jinfo Mountain instead of Sichuan", which once again promoted the scenic spot. At the same time, with the help of the topic of "there are 15 couples in the class", the "Where to Travel" platform and its founder Wang Jian are discussed. There are many new media.
Liu Guangtao, who attended the wedding, promoted "Where to Travel" on WeChat, and "Where to Travel" also promoted the Jinfo Mountain scenic spot in Chongqing, where the wedding was held. On May 25th, "Where to Travel" also uploaded a 2-minute and 20-second video of the wedding scene and the scenic spot of Jinfo Mountain in its Weibo. At the end of the video, the words "Where to travel and produce" are printed. This closed promotion chain has attracted the attention of journalists. It is found that the youth travel service platform "Where to Travel" is a product of Chengdu Chuangzhidao Technology Co., Ltd., which was established on 20 15.
Subsequently, as the marketing manager of a scenic spot in Sichuan, the reporter added the WeChat of Wang Jianjun, the founder of "Where to Travel", and talked about the collective wedding of Jinfo Mountain. The other party admitted that the activity was planned by "where to travel", but insisted that "all the couples attending the wedding were from the same class." We provide a graduation tour route, and this scenic spot is chosen to meet the requirements of the scenic spot and make customers happy. " However, this statement is obviously inconsistent with what the squad leader said: "Plan by yourself and contact the scenic spot by yourself".
The reporter asked a lot of questions about "15 couples in one class", and the other party directly replied, "If the media reported it, it must be like this." "We don't have to worry about this anymore." He later admitted that some appellations were enlarged on the original basis. "For example, 15 couples, 6 couples get married, we can say 8 couples, enlarge it."
Wang Jianjun did not deny the true identities of Li Fei, Liu Guangtao, Wang Xue and others, but still said that the activity was true. A class of students found them and asked them to provide travel services. They have cooperated with Jinfo Mountain Scenic Area for many years and brought people to help the scenic area plan activities.
"Couples in class one 15, what about Li Fei, Liu Guangtao, Wang Xue and others?" Wang's next answer was somewhat unexpected. "Sometimes we want to take these students to play, so we join them. It's nothing. It must have a certain packaging effect. Who knows that Li Fei is the monitor? Nobody knows. We can't tell the outside world. You shouldn't tell you his name during the interview. "
Regarding the phenomenon that this collective wedding caused many news media to reprint a false news, the self-proclaimed post-90 s entrepreneur said that many things are the title party, and some news is even more false.
The person in charge of the Sichuan office of Chongqing Jinfo Mountain Scenic Area told the reporter that "where to travel" did help them plan this activity, and the scenic spot would give them a fee, but it was not clear about the specific identity of the new couple attending the wedding.
A week later, the reporter of Chengdu Business Daily contacted the "monitor" Li Fei again. The other party always avoided all the questions raised by reporters about the collective wedding and repeatedly stressed that the event was over. "Those couples are my classmates. What's the purpose of your coming to me now? I am none of your business. "
In the face of numerous media reports and reprints of the false information that "a class 15 held a wedding for the couple", he said, "I didn't ask them to send news from those media, nor did I ask the media to interview me. They came by themselves. The media asked me this information, and I said it. You love me. "
