The Trickster's Ninth Episode

It was the end of another class, and during the break, Jinghua put his hands on his desk and leaned forward to see what Ren Yugong was doing.

"Playing with the phone!" Yu Gonglian shook the phone in her hand with a residual smile on her face.

"Liver mobile game? What game are you playing recently? Tell me about it." Jinghua asked curiously.

"No, I only play FGO in mobile games. I have graduated from CCC activities and am in Changcao." Ren Amamiya shook her head. CCC activities will be open from May 5st to May 1th, and the remaining seven days will be for you to change stores. , Although the content of the activity is indeed much more than the previous activities, it is far from the month-long activity time.

"Then what are you playing?" Jinghua couldn't figure it out, holding the phone and not playing games, so why play with the phone?

"Didn't I tell you some time ago that some fans in China set up a subtitle group for me? Their group leader contacted me some time ago, and I signed a contract with them to obtain authorization."

"However, a considerable number of people in this group do not want to do this as their own job. But to be honest, this group of people is really difficult to manage! It involves transnational cooperation, which is more complicated. You see, people get together based on their hobbies, the main purpose of the picture is to be happy and relaxed, right? The most important thing is to come and leave when you want. Everyone has their own jobs. I want to reach a contract with them, but they don’t want to .”

"I just wanted to use some giri-like gifts to thank them for helping me do free work. But after thinking about it, I don't know what to give!"

"I checked on the Internet. At present, for Vtubers like Kizuna Ai, the things that give back to fans are generally mugs, art books, postcards, standing signs or direct signatures. In addition, there are probably It will limit the sound and the like...Ah! Speaking of which, I haven't passed monetization yet!"

"I also thought about drawing some simple avatars for others, but if this is the only one, it's too monotonous, and I can't solve everything by drawing avatars."

"And the point is, I always feel that these things are given by idols. I'm not an idol! Isn't it strange to give these things?"

While listening, Jinghua frowned like Yu Gonglian, and complained: "I'm not sure about this, but I think if you are willing to show your face, then you will say that you are not an idol and others will not believe it."

"Hey! Seriously!" Yu Gonglian said helplessly.

"Who are you talking to who is serious? Didn't I ask you about what you are playing on your phone again?" Jinghua countered with a confident voice, raising his voice.

"Don't worry! We'll talk about it soon."

"And then again, regardless of whether you are an idol or not, a Vtuber like you with more and more fans, anyway, there must be a lot of gachi love, right? For these fans, I think there is nothing wrong with you using idols. Yes.” (gachi, earnest/gachi 恋 refers to fans who regard Tweets as their own wives/husbands.)

"It's not that I haven't thought about what you said, but what about the male fans?"

"Can't boys be gachi male V? Why does Li Ping look down on blue people!" Jinghua's tone became more righteous. "You're shivering and cold, you're out of your league!"

"..." Yu Gonglian felt that it was better not to discuss this topic with him in depth.

"In short, I always feel that I treat myself as an idol to give back to fans. I don't talk about it with fans, and I feel very awkward. Is it okay to say that?"

"Don't you think that the youtubers on my route—well, don't care if it's virtual or not! Others on my route, it seems that most of the feedback to fans is secret keys, game activation codes, or directly sending Host or something, this is more realistic, right?"

"Isn't this even weirder?!" Jinghua complained without even thinking about it. "You don't really think of yourself as a game anchor, do you?"

"Of course I can't really do that." Yu Gonglian turned her head away, obviously knowing that these options seemed ridiculous.

It's common for game anchors to benefit fans who are also players, but it's a bit awkward to switch to Vtuber, even if it's a Vtuber that focuses on the game route...unless you pick up the industry and commerce.

Is it really like what Jinghua said, be more idol when facing gachi, and be more realistic when facing ordinary fans?

The relationship between anchors and fans is quite strange. Some anchors are professional and rely on this way to eat. The audience is the parents of food and clothing, and some financial owners have to pay for it; some are true love fans and illegitimate fans. There are many, and the anchor himself is like an idol, living at the top of the pyramid.

These are two extremes, and most of the other examples are wandering around between these two ports.There are not many, or almost none, that can truly be centered and balanced.

Ren Amamiya's attitude towards the Vtuber industry she does is strictly similar to that of a professional actor.

The audience will fall in love and obsession with the role he plays, but it's just a role, and he himself is just an actor.

If what you like is not the character but him, then thank you, but all he can do to give back to this love is to do his best to play the next role well and perfect the next work.

Rather than signing meetings, handshake meetings, exclusive voices and the like.

In other words, Umiya Ren doesn't really want others to like her too much.Because for him, other people's emotions can be a burden if they don't respond.According to the number of his current fans, it is close to [-] fans, even if only one or two percent of them have invested more in their hearts, that is the expectation of thousands of people.

Is there anyone in this world who really doesn't care about anything in return?

The only person who is entitled to unconditional demands and oppression is himself——Amiya Ren thinks so.

Therefore, Ren Yugong was so concerned about the subtitle group, but it was just to make her owe less on credit.

"All in all, the cause of the incident is the messy things above. The interaction between me and fans is limited, let alone fans from across the country. So I talked to the team leader of the subtitle group some time ago, and opened A trumpet ran into the group chat of that subtitle group."

"...So you're constantly looking at your phone these days because you're chatting with people?" Speaking of this, Jinghua also realized it.

"Not all, sometimes just watching these people chatting, I tell you this is super fun."

"What's so interesting about chatting with a group of people... Fuck, but I also want a multinational fan base, so it seems really interesting to think about it." Jinghua said with some envy.

"Maybe it is possible!" Yu Gonglian said after thinking. "I've been looking at the group during this time. It seems that many subtitle groups in China have more or less contacts with each other. Besides my subtitle group, there are many other Vtuber subgroups."

"From Kizuna Ai to many unpopular Vs, and even some Vs that have just debuted for a few days, there may be subtitles there. Of course, there are similarities and differences in production, but even so, this action is super powerful. .”

"After Xie Ra debuts, maybe there will be a subtitle group in a short time. After all, Xie Ra is so cute."

"I agree, Xie La is super cute, maybe the subtitle group will be bigger than yours." Jinghua raised her head, her face full of a sense of pride in being a mother.

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Then Sheila's shy voice came from beside her.

Yu Gonglian and Jinghua looked aside together, Xie La held the last two exercise books in her hand and looked at them with a flushed face.

"Don't bring me in when you are discussing messy things!" Xie La looked left and right, for fear that the conversation here would attract the attention of others.

However, Umiya Ren and Jinghua are talking at a distance where their heads are very close to each other and they are looking at their mobile phones together, so they are not eye-catching.Sheila was also relieved to find that no one was paying attention here.

"Here, your homework." After complaining, Xie La remembered the business and handed them the homework books of Umiya Ren and Jinghua.

"Crab~" Jinghua finished the homework with carelessness, and then stuffed it into the desk without looking at it.

"You've worked hard, monitor, and you've worked hard in all aspects!" Yu Gonglian joked with a chuckle.

"If you know, don't say such embarrassing things!"

"But Xie La is really cute! She is indeed my daughter." Jinghua said as a matter of course.

"I made the vertical painting and the model." Yu Gonglian snapped back.

"I designed the characters and costumes!" Jinghua insisted.

"Ahhh, I'm ignoring you." Xie La took the two people who sang together and had nothing to do, stomped and ran away.

After joking around for a while, the recess time passed quickly in the chat, and soon the class bell rang again, and Jinghua sat down again.

And Ren Yugong continued to play with her mobile phone.

This class is the third class in the morning, it is Kawakami Sadyo's Chinese language, and the content is "The Analects of Confucius".

So as long as she is not called up to read the text again, Amamiya Ren basically has nothing to do in this class.

Kawakami Sadayo looked at Ren Amamiya several times during class, but he was quite restrained when looking at his mobile phone, so he let him go.

During this period of time, Ren Amamiya used [Phantom] as ID to get into the group of the subtitle group, work assignment!In name, it is proofreading, and when it is not very busy, it can be responsible for art by the way.

As a result, he was regarded as a big boss.

It was also mentioned that she wanted to pay homage to the work, but Amamiya Ren just vaguely mentioned Jinghua's Xie La PV, and told them that although I had a collaboration video with my friends on station B, I didn't have anything The work has been officially published, and at most I can show them the practice.

Then in order to make a lie, he drew a sketch on the spot to Qi Xiao.

After all, the previous works have been labeled as official, so they cannot be used to make up the number.

Then he was called his wife by the girls in the group.

Back in the day, when Parry was troubled by this title, he still laughed beside him.

It's really turning around.

Speaking of this, Yu Gonglian found that the proportion of women and men in the group is quite even - the group of people who usually talk to the guy's house are girls.

Some boys will follow the topic of girls to engage in Nantong, but in fact, most of these people have girlfriends.

The atmosphere is really sandy!

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Yugong Lian discovered Lai Qixiao's emoticons, some of which are Q version drawings, and some are pictures directly cut from the live broadcast with words.There are all kinds of strange expressions and word matching, Amamiya Ren doesn't even know when she has shown that expression.

There are also some generic ones without matching words, such as a frowning expression with a mobile phone in his hand.

This expression turned around and was sent to Laiqixiao's official account by Yu Gonglian's original tweet.

Within a few minutes, this tweet was screenshotted and sent to the group, triggering a wave of searching for ghosts in the group.

Umiya Ren and Nuo En peeped at the screen and dared not speak.

I have to say that after such a long time, it is still very interesting to experience this sand sculpture atmosphere again.

Norndridge: Joker, although I'm being presumptuous, I still want to ask... are you not Japanese?

Yu Gonglian stared at the sudden message.

What the hell?Why is there such a question?Is it so obvious that he has the smell of his hometown?

Lai Qixiao: Why do you ask that?

Norndridge: That’s right. A few days ago, Mr. Gang Xiadu from the Yasen Group contacted me about signing a contract.Things went well, but I found that the other side in charge seemed to be signing the name of a foreigner.

Lai Qixiao: That one!I am indeed Japanese, that's right, the reason why the above is not a Japanese name is because I am underage, so I can only ask Yasen to help me.

Norndridge:  …

Nuo En looked at the message of Yu Gonglian's reply, showing the expression of the old man in the subway, and subconsciously typed the reply. He just typed the word "Xiao Ge", but he deleted it by himself.

Norn's name for Ren Amameiya is usually "brother Xiao", which is popular on the domestic Internet, and only when facing Lai Qixiao himself, and consciously making himself more formal, he will call him joker.

But now... ah... underage...

underage? !

Isn't that several years younger than him!

Although it is not so much to call brother, uncle, or even father on the Internet, Nuoen's mood is really complicated at this moment.

Norndridge: joker are you really underage?

Lai Qixiao: Yes!Still in school!I am playing on my mobile phone in class right now, and I may not reply to your message at any time and suddenly disappear.

Norndridge: Ah, well...Okay, I'm fine, Brother Xiao, please do your work, I will continue to talk to Mr. Gun Shadow.

Gang Xiadu is a legal person in the headquarters of the Yasen Group, and was sent by Yasen to Amamiya Ren to deal with the contract issues here.

The screen name is Florence's Gun Shadow, so Amamiya Ren usually calls him Gun Brother.

The reason is that Amamiya Ren's impression of him will be associated with the sword brother in "Monthly Girl Nozaki-kun".

In addition to the problem of running Amamiya Ren this time, Yasen also gave him a job to draw up a unified treatment charter for overseas Chinese subtitle groups.

If there is no accident, all Vtubers under the Yasen Group will probably be handled according to Ren Amamiya.

It is estimated that this Mr. Gunying will become a special person in charge of this area in the future.

With Yasen Group's current leading position in the industry, it is estimated that other companies will follow suit.This is also what Yasen and Amamiya Renye said when they talked before.
