Chapter 1035: Seto the Scapegoat

“Maybe it’s expensive?”

Lao Zhang explained with a smile: “Even if the price of a 10-year VIP membership is 50% off, it’s still several hundred yuan! Most users are reluctant to spend all at once, and would rather open it for a year at a time.”

“That’s right…”

Gu Miao thought about it and found that it was really the case.

Even if it’s cheaper to open a 10-year VIP membership at a time, the total price is really too high. And everyone is not sure whether they really need a 10-year membership, so few people open it.

Oh no, it’s not a little bit less!

So far, the event has been open for two days, and there is only one user who has opened a 10-year Wanbao Video VIP membership through the event page.

The only one!

This made Gu Miao cry. I didn’t expect that there was really someone who trusted Wanbao so much and felt that he needed this 10-year VIP membership.

"This must be a die-hard fan of Wanbao. How about this? You ask Wanbao Video for the address and contact number. We will send some gifts to this die-hard fan privately to thank him for his support."

"Okay, I'll ask now."

After receiving the task, Lao Zhang quickly walked out of the office and prepared to contact this die-hard fan.

But not long after he left, Gu Miao just took a screenshot and sent this message to the company group, and encouraged everyone not to let down the support of this die-hard fan.

As a result, Lao Zhang came back again.

Not only did he come back, he also brought back a message that was as disgusting as a fly to Gu Miao.

Die-hard fan? Black fan!!

Gu Miao really didn't dream that the only user who opened a 10-year VIP through the event page was actually his number one black fan Liu Zida.

"What do you mean, Mr. Gu?"

Lao Zhang asked hesitantly: "Are we still giving this gift?"

"Send a hammer!"

"Is he worthy of receiving gifts? Get down!" Gu Miao rolled his eyes wildly.

What a waste of feelings.

I thought I had found a wild die-hard fan, but it turned out to be a black fan in the guise of a true love fan. For a person like this, let alone sending gifts to thank him, it would be considered that Gu Miao was merciful if he didn't raise the price.

But then again...

Black fans are really scary. Even true love fans think that they may not need a ten-year membership, so there is no need to keep it for so long.

But black fans actually opened it!

What does this mean? It means that black fans are also fans, and their love for Wanbao is even deeper than everyone else. He may subconsciously think that he can continue to black Wanbao for ten years!

This is terrible.

Gu Miao suddenly felt that if all Wanbao's black fans were people like Liu Zida, then he would most likely not be able to survive these black fans, and in the end he would retire before the black fans...

"Haha, there's no need to panic! Most of our company's black fans, including your personal black fans, are actually true fans."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Online, they curse more fiercely than anyone else, wishing that Wanbao would go bankrupt on the spot. When we meet offline, everyone is quite normal, not as crazy as on the Internet."

"That's true."

Gu Miao thought of an interesting thing that happened when he attended an anime and game exhibition some time ago.

He is very famous, so he accepted many fans' requests for photos at the exhibition.

Among them, there was a little friend with a pot-covered head, who called Uncle Gu all the time, and was so affectionate and lovable, so Gu Miao naturally agreed to his request for a photo.

As a result, he turned around and saw a post from this little friend in a certain anime discussion community: "I met the leader of the Four Maggot Brothers at the comic exhibition, Taiku is hot!"

Outrageous, he called him the Four Maggot Brothers online, but he just called him Uncle Gu offline. He is the ultimate two-faced person, right?

It was because of this experience that Gu Miao agreed with Lao Zhang's so-called "black fans ≈ true fans" statement.

Some people are really abstract on the Internet, and their words can't be taken too seriously. They are mainly for playing memes and the whole show effect.

But these people, can you say that they are so abstract in real life?

Probably not.

So Gu Miao is now less concerned about those black fans who sprayed him the most and fiercest online. When he met them in real life, he should still call him Uncle Gu. He really doesn't need to take it to heart.

Of course!

The crimes of other black fans can be forgiven, except Liu Zida.

Who made him the first to say the nickname of the Four Maggot Brothers? Just based on this point, Gu Miao will never forgive him in his life.

"Speaking of haters, Seto seems to be worse off than you?"

Lao Zhang seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help laughing: "Have you paid attention to the second season of Date A Live?"

"No!"

Gu Miao shook his head: "What's wrong? Did something happen in the second season?"

He has been busy with "Guardians of Sheep Village" recently, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the Neon branch.

Although Seto mentioned the production and broadcast information of Date A Live 2, he really didn't pay much attention to it.

Did it fail?

"That's not the case. Although the second season has changed to a different production company, the production level is still online, and the fans are also very excited to watch it."

"Then Seto..."

Gu Miao couldn't figure it out. Since the performance of the second season was still good after it started, what was Seto's fault as a producer and producer?

"Here's the thing."

"The company responsible for producing the second season of Date A Live originally had a popular light novel adaptation project on hand, but because the focus was on Date A Live 2, that project was sacrificed."

Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "The original light novel is very popular, and there are many viewers who are looking forward to the animation. Many people cannot accept this result."

Why scold Seto?

Isn't this responsibility the responsibility of the production company? They should be scolded, not Seto and Wanbao!

"That's right, but shortly after the production company announced that it would take over the Date A Live 2 project and broadcast it as scheduled, it was revealed that the company was insolvent due to poor management, and most of the employees were laid off to do their best to make the last dance."

Gu Miao: "Ah, this..."

Didn't they say that the business situation is good and the ten-year old qualification is trustworthy? How can they go bankrupt?

"Will Date A Live 2 not be affected?" Gu Miao asked worriedly.

"There will be an impact, but it's not big."

Lao Zhang shook his head: "The contract has been signed, and they have also said that they will liquidate assets and lay off core employees after completing the Date A Live 2 project."

Gu Miao seemed to understand.

No wonder Lao Zhang said that Seto has a bad reputation and has more black fans in Japan than him!

He ruined a popular light novel adaptation project, and at the same time affected his own Date A Live 2, and indirectly caused a ten-year-old animation company to go bankrupt...

A real troublemaker!

This series of misfortunes all started with Seto. Even though he was not the culprit that caused the production company to go bankrupt and should not be held responsible for the light novel, he has now become the only scapegoat.

After all, there is no one to criticize.
