For Guo Qifeng, he makes money by relying on his persona.
In the eyes of his fans, he is very rich and doesn't care about the money from advertising, so he has no reason to accept advertising.
Is there anything wrong with this logic? It seems so, but people are different.
Some rich people may not take it seriously, but if you say that an internet celebrity who keeps updating his posts intensively all year round and flies all over the country to recommend restaurants doesn't care about "that little bit of money", then forget it.
However, Guo Qifeng has been able to achieve what he has today because he has cultivated a group of die-hard fans. Whenever there are doubts, he doesn't have to say anything, because the die-hard fans will take the initiative to jump out and mock him.
But this time the situation was a bit serious. I had just recommended the restaurant and explained it twice, but it turned out to be a failure.
"We must maintain our image now. We must not reveal the fact that there is a contract between us and the other party. This must not be revealed!" The agent said seriously.
"As for the failure, everyone has had their share of failures. We can say that there were no problems when we first went there. As for the investigation now, we had no idea about it. It's impossible for us to guarantee all the quality issues just by visiting the restaurant!"
"So, let Qifeng explain the situation first, saying he was truly unaware of it, and then apologize immediately. His attitude must be sincere!"
"You have to show that, even though I didn't do anything wrong, now that there's a problem, I absolutely have to apologize. You have to have that feeling, make your fans feel so pitiful and honest. Then, get some online trolls, and they'll spontaneously come to your defense!"
Guo Qifeng nodded and said, "That's a good idea. This is the only way for now. Sigh, I don't know what the restaurant was investigated for..."
Everything is unclear, so all Guo Qifeng can do now is to apologize first, anyway, he can occupy the high ground of public opinion first.
Anyway, as long as you apologize, you will look good in the eyes of your fans. They may even think that you are a man who dares to take responsibility for your actions!
So, amid the heated discussions online, Guo Qifeng started shooting videos again.
Just like before, you have to act like you're very tired and exhausted. Of course, you also have to add cyberbullying and depression to the mix.
The situation has suddenly turned out like this, which is really unsettling for die-hard fans like Chen Xutong.
She refreshed the news online again and again, trying to find Xiao Guo's response, but there was none.
But as I was flipping through it, I found that some remarks that had disappeared before, such as Xiao Guo taking money to visit stores, appeared again.
"I beg you, please don't say anything if you don't understand, okay? Xiao Guo might not have noticed and that's why he got into trouble, but Xiao Guo is a rich second-generation kid, okay? He doesn't care about that little bit of money at all. Who are you insulting?"
"How much money can you get for filming a video exploring a restaurant? Xiao Guo's parents are very rich. Look at how much money other people spend on food broadcasts. What are they thinking about making money by filming videos?"
"Besides, Xiao Guo isn't the only one who has been to that store. Many internet celebrities have been there too!" After being severely criticized again, Chen Xutong finally felt a little relieved.
But this is not a solution. What is going on with Xiao Guo?
After scrolling several times, Chen Xutong suddenly became excited. Xiao Guo updated the video!
Click in quickly to watch. The title of this new video is: Cyberbullying again and again, I already want to quit the Internet.
Huh? What's going on? Is Xiao Guo going to quit the internet?
When you click on the video, Xiao Guo’s handsome face still appears. Don’t be surprised. To be able to attract so many fans, his appearance must be decent.
But this face now looks very tired, even making people feel a little lonely.
"Hello, my fans and friends, I believe you have all seen the post that Ayi forwarded. To be honest, I really didn't expect Shaoxi Restaurant to be investigated."
"I just heard that Shaoxi Restaurant has excellent value for money, so I thought I'd make a video to show everyone how good the value is. I really just want to help everyone!"
"I haven't been to the restaurant since the last live broadcast, but I guarantee with my whole family's lives that there was absolutely no problem when I was there. I don't know anything about what happened afterwards."
"I am sincerely apologizing to everyone now. You can criticize me if you want. Although I don't know the circumstances, I did do something wrong. Wrong is wrong. I won't make any more excuses."
"But now, I've been cyberbullied again, and it's even more severe than last time. I went to the hospital for a checkup today, and now I'm a little depressed.
"My original intention for making restaurant exploration videos was simply because I love food, and I wanted to find some restaurants with good value for money through my own efforts so that people wouldn't be ripped off."
"But now, the repeated online violence has made me unbearable. I really don't need money to make videos, I just want to provide convenience to my fans. Now, I am tired, and I want to think carefully about whether I should quit the Internet.
After watching the video, Chen Xutong felt her heart was broken.
Then he went straight to the comment section and said: "I really wonder why there are so many trolls in this world. Will you die if you don't troll?"
"You've forced a streamer to the point of swearing an oath with his entire family, and even forced him to quit the internet. Are you satisfied? Are you happy?"
"It's clearly not his fault, and he's already apologized so sincerely, what else do you want? There are so many internet celebrities out there!"
Chen Xutong's reaction basically represents the reaction of die-hard fans. However, rather than saying that they are brain-dead, it is better to say that some people are already deceiving themselves.
