After receiving instructions from the higher-ups, ABC Iowa Station began a follow-up report on this year’s Fall Cup Competition.

The resources mobilized were almost equivalent to the quadrennial governor’s election.

It was also promoted on their official Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Like the election, Iowa TV station’s program analyst also conducted a poll.

“Which book would you like to see winning this year’s Fall Cup Creative Writing Competition?”

This semi-official poll quickly spread on social media and attracted more people to participate.

After the TV station got the real-time data, they immediately carried out an analysis.

The results of the analysis were synced to everyone through live broadcast.

“Looking at it now, among the four shortlisted works, ‘Candle in the Tomb’ and ‘The Lost Tomb’ have the highest approval ratings, leaving the other two books far behind. ‘Candle in the Tomb’ has a majority of male supporters and attract an older audience over the age of 30, while interestingly, ‘The Lost Tomb’ has a majority of female supporters with a younger audience between 18 to 30 years old. Although the two books has the same theme, the content is completely different and are aimed at completely different groups of readers. What an interesting phenomenon!”

“Right now, the number of supporters for these two works is increasing, and there’s not much of a difference between the two. Based on the data alone, we’re still unsure who will win!”

“Let’s wait and see the final results tonight! I will be looking forward to the real-time voting session tonight.”

The TV station invited two guest commentators to cover the Fall Cup.

One of the commentators was Ockham, who often published op-ed pieces in world-class literary magazines such as The New Yorker, Granta, and The Paris Review.

He had a considerable influence in the industry.
