Chapter 614: Rational Consumption
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Sister Ye Xuan, doesn’t Guan Yun care about her fans? Can’t you let her appear and stop her fans from saying those ugly words?” In Ye Xuan’s office, Xiaoxiao asked gloomily.
Ye Xuan looked at Xiaoxiao with a faint smile, as if to say, “Do you think that’s possible?”
All these years, Guan Yun had never appeared to control her fans. She was different from other celebrities in the country. She rarely interacted with her fans and had always taken the high-end route to show that she was not a popular celebrity.
However, because her fans were too loyal and were the representative group of the fan culture, their combat power was higher than some top celebrities.
This was actually a very contradictory phenomenon. Speaking of which, if Guan Yun appeared now to tell the fans not to quarrel, it would be equivalent to her saying that the fans were in the wrong. Therefore, no matter how she thought about it, Guan Yun would not appear to persuade her fans. Of course, she might actually approve of her fans’ behavior of charging into battle for her online.
Xiaoxiao sighed. ‘Alright, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
“Keep in touch with Flyover and pay attention to the sales data of the new model,” Ye Xuan said calmly.
Xiaoxiao widened her eyes. Could it be that Ye Xuan was really worried that Lu Zhen’s fans’ purchasing power was not strong enough, so she asked her to monitor the sales data? Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao became worried. If the sales figures were not good, it would definitely make those people who belittled Lu Zhen even more arrogant.
“Okay, I understand.” Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly.
Lu Zhen had also heard about the commotion on the Internet. The feedback she gave was to post another Weibo post that night, advising fans to spend rationally and not be rash.
The reason why she had to specially explain was because when she saw the comments on the Internet, many of her fans had already begun to organize and call on those who were capable of choosing to buy the new model of Flyover as much as possible.
Lu Zhen explained to the fans, “Flyover chose me to be the spokesperson. Perhaps a certain characteristic of mine resonated with the concept conveyed by the brand. This is a two-way choice between me and the brand. I also hope that the users and products will be two-way choices. Please buy the product according to your needs and don’t spend impulsively.”
After Xiaoxiao saw Lu Zhen’s post, she smiled bitterly. “Zhenzhen, you’re really thinking for your fans. Guan Yun’s fans have already mocked you so much, but you’re still advising your fans not to be rash and buy a car.”
Lu Zhen smiled. “To ordinary people, more than 200,000 yuan is not a small number. Guan Yun’s fans are just criticizing me online. It’s not like I’ll lose anything. But if my fans really overspend and buy a car because of their mockery, the ones who will really suffer will be my fans.”
“Your mentality is still the best.” Xiaoxiao sighed. “I should really learn from you. Other than your emotional fluctuations, you seem to have become a monk.”
Lu Zhen pursed her lips. Why was she talking about her and Song Jia? However, Xiaoxiao seemed to be right. She wouldn’t have too many emotions because of work, but she still couldn’t let go of the conflict with Song Jia.
Two days ago, Yang Na had even spoken to her on the phone. After learning that she had yet to reconcile with her boyfriend, she commented, “You just have too little experience. If you have more, you’ll be indifferent and won’t be affected by men.”
Lu Zhen respected and understood Yang Na’s suggestion, but she would not accept it. After she posted the dynamic of persuading fans to spend rationally, many netizens liked her actions.
“Lu Zhen is too clear-headed and rational. She’s also very considerate of her fans. Moreover, her temper is too good. I’ve never seen her angry at the slander and humiliation of some netizens.’
“Lu Zhen is really good to her fans. She has also always resisted the excessive fan consumer culture. She often persuades her fans to focus on themselves and their real lives and chase after celebrities rationally. She’s really gentle and considerate. Which fan wouldn’t feel heartache to see her being talked about like that by others’ fans?”
“To be honest, as a passerby, I also think that Guan Yun!s fans are a little too much. There are indeed more students and white-collar workers among Lu Zhen’s fans. It’s normal for fans of this type to not have good spending power, but don’t ordinary people have the right to chase celebrities? Do they have to be mocked if they don’t have money?”
“That’s right. Most of the cake in society has been divided by a few people. 80% of the people are ordinary people. They look down on Lu Zhen’s fans who don’t have much spending power. Aren’t they looking down on thousands of ordinary people? But this society is supported by thousands of ordinary.
Even capitalists need countless ordinary people to work for them..”
