Normally, problems caused by fans' spontaneous behavior are not the band's responsibility.

However, in the era of underdeveloped information, it is difficult for people to distinguish the true and false news, including some media.

Therefore, because of the organization called [Planet Fan Club], the name is too formal, and many people think that it is an official organization.

So, while the club organizers were being overwhelmed by this incident, a group of media also came over to make trouble.

Some of them knew the truth, some didn’t know the truth at all, and they all began to report exaggeratedly: The Planetary Band used the fan club to cheat a large amount of membership fees; the planetary fan club membership fees were missing; where did the money go?Because of being neglected by idols, the fans decided to riot collectively!

Those fans who wrote letters asking to join the club and paid the membership fee were instigated to believe it was true after seeing the news in the newspaper, and were very dissatisfied.

They are not all about money, the membership fee of that club is still very cheap (non-governmental organization activities will not charge very expensive).

The main problem is that there is no feedback for a long time!

The club neither notified that their membership was successful nor that it was unsuccessful.

As for what they eagerly desire, what they really want to know, want to participate in, want to get...

For example, some insider news about the band members, special activities for members, or some exclusive benefits for fans, nothing at all!

In this case, it's useless to try to explain something like 'The Planetary Fan Club is not an official organization at all', the fans don't want to hear it.

Moreover, James did not agree to push all the responsibilities to the little girls who organized the event.

When everyone held a meeting to discuss this matter, he said directly to everyone: "They like us, they build a club for us, they give us with enthusiasm and selflessness, but in the end they suffered such a big crime. I can't sleep well all night, my eyes are swollen from crying, I look like a poor boy. Yes, I have always been a fucking jerk, but I am also a man, no man will do this, unless it is a jerk! Yes I'll take care of the problem."

For a while, the house was very quiet.

James looked around and asked, "Hey, brothers, let's say something, what do you think?"

Abel sat behind his desk and flipped through the files in silence;

Bill, the tour manager, was standing against the wall with a hesitant expression on his face, but after looking around, he shut up again.

Baldwin was smoking next to him without making a sound;

Lance plucked the strings of the guitar, expressionless.

Only Theo couldn't hold back his sarcasm: "I let you finish talking, what else can we think?"

As a result, this inexplicable responsibility for the fan club was taken by James to the band.

Next...

We can only discuss how to solve this matter.

"The easiest way is to refund all the membership fees to the fans, and then the club will be disbanded," James said.

"Who pays?"

Abel, who was a businessman, immediately raised his head and asked.

"I'm out." James replied almost without hesitation.

But at the next moment, he suddenly asked a little embarrassedly: "Shit! Am I making enough money?"

This bastard actually didn't think about money until the end...

Everyone in the room couldn't care about anything with him, and couldn't help laughing.

Later, Theo mentioned this matter: "In fact, everyone was unhappy at the beginning. The key is not money. Of course, money is also a problem, but it is not that important. The real important thing is that before everyone discusses what , Jimmy just took it all down and dragged everyone down... No man would do that unless he was a jerk? Fuck it! I know he's a good guy, I also like him quite a bit. But he is really annoying sometimes, no one wants to be represented before he can say a word. If you disagree, you will become a softie, come on!"

Lance is far more savvy than his lead singer in this regard.

He directly rejected the proposal: "Shut up! Believe me, fans will not be happy to receive a refund, because what they want is not money at all."

James immediately asked, "Then what do they want?"

Lance thought about it for a while, and didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked the tour manager Bill: "Do we have any leftover merchandise for this tour? For example, T-shirts, key chains, coasters, posters, albums, etc. Merry Christmas How about sending them Christmas presents?"

"Not much left," Bill replied, frowning.

Lance thought for a while: "Then make another batch?"

"Budget, watch your budget."

Abel kept reminding him from the sidelines.

"It's not just a matter of budget, it might not be the right Christmas gift for something like this."

Bill couldn't help but said: "Many fans bought them when we performed. If you give them another copy, it doesn't make much sense, and it seems very disingenuous."

Finally, Davis, who still didn’t come to the meeting, thought of a way. Compared with Bill, he was more familiar with the entire tour team than Bill, who dealt with trivial matters all day.

So, he immediately thought of the tour director Guy Ritchie, who was busy handling all the shooting videos these days, so he suggested: "When that documentary comes out, we can give members who want to buy a discounted price, and at the same time, add some extra gifts Small gifts and signed photos of the band. In this way, there is basically no extra expenditure, and it can also indirectly help to advertise the tour documentary. If you don’t want the documentary, you can also exchange it for other gifts. Then count the number of people , let’s discuss it later.”

Everyone agrees it's a great idea.

So, James excitedly ran to ask Guy Ritchie, the best director in his heart: "Hey, buddy! Our documentary is almost finished, right?"

Guy Ritchie replied neatly: "Soon, in a week."

James excitedly told Abel about it, and it was a deal.

Abel asked a familiar reporter to help explain the relevant situation to the newspaper. He could never take over the mess and be wronged for doing good things. At the same time, he asked the staff to start recording the list and addresses of all current members, and prepared to mail gifts at that time.

A week later, James actively ran to Guy Ritchie and asked, "How is our documentary?"

Guy Ritchie said regretfully: "Unfortunately, buddy, it's not finished yet. After all, I have to fix it for you all, you are a planet! You must not just deal with it."

James was very moved: "Okay, then I will wait."

Guy Ritchie patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry!"

Three days later, James persisted and reappeared: "Rich, how are we going?"

Guy Ritchie responded excitedly: "It's going great, bro!"

"Then can I see the results today?"

"Two more weeks, come and ask me in two weeks!"

"Oh... wait! A week and three days ago, you seemed to tell me that it was a week later, and now it's a week later, and you told me two weeks later?"

"Perfect things are worth waiting for!"

Two months have passed...

Guy Ritchie came to James and asked, "Dude, why hasn't your team served lunch lately? I haven't had that special sandwich with cheese and ham in days."

James slapped the table and shouted: "Are you worthy of a sandwich? Cheese and ham? You don't even deserve to eat lettuce leaves! Spit out our documentary!! Or I'll beat you to spit cheese!"
