Not only did the haters attack Yu Zhan, but they also targeted Tao Zhiyao and Ye Ziliang, and even the unrelated Liu Man became involved. Some netizens who were persuaded asked, “Speaking of staging, was this last story about the cat plague staged, too?”
“Probably. How can anything be so coincidental? Their videographer’s cat coincidentally got infected with the cat plague and coincidentally got cured by Doctor Yu while they were coincidentally filming a documentary. The main point is that this videographer’s username is ‘Peach is a fairy.’ She’s the Hanfu Goddess’ friend and a moderator in her live-stream room. If you don’t believe me, you can check the live-stream room of ‘Princess Man.’ The entire documentary seems to have been scripted by someone, and everyone acted according to the script.”
“But Pear did get infected with the cat plague.”
“The production team probably bought a sick cat for the plot, which probably happened not long before the documentary started filming, according to the date when ‘Peach is a fairy’ first started showing pictures of her cat.”
“Were those sincere narrations she said in the video just reading from the manuscript? I felt so moved at that time. If that is the case, it would be so disgusting.”
“Some people would do anything for fame and money.”
“But Tao Zhiyao’s a Bai Fu Mei, she shouldn’t need money.”
“No matter how rich you are, you will never want to stop having more money. Besides, how can you confirm that she really is a Bai Fu Mei? Have you seen her in person? Have you seen her bank card balance? What if being a Bai Fu Mei is part of her persona? I’ve seen her Weibo, which limits its content to ordinary daily life and cats and dogs. There’s no sign of her being a Bai Fu Mei. In reality, she’s probably an ordinary girl with nothing to show off.”
“No way. She spams gifts in the live-stream room very often.”
“Behind every popular streamer is a team. The team needs shills to inflate the atmosphere in the live-stream room and incessantly spam gifts, keeping the viewers who don’t know the truth to follow suit and give gifts. Only then can the streamer make money. On the gifting leaderboard of ‘Princess Man,’ Doctor Yu is first, and Tao Zhiyao is third. After putting it so straightforwardly, do you all still not understand?
“I checked. It’s true… No wonder the Hanfu Goddess made a guest appearance in Vet’s Cuties 1. It turns out they are a cohort!”
“To put it more accurately, they are a planning team. They have made the streamer ‘Princess Man’ famous and the topical queen ‘Hanfu Goddess’ popular. Now, they plan to create the male cyber star, ‘Doctor Yu.’”
“I understand your reasoning. I think if there was no ‘Doctor Yu’ in Vet’s Cuties, nothing else is worthy of watching.”
“I also followed Vet’s Cuties only because of ‘Doctor Yu.’”
“Similarly, their team also planned the TikTok account ‘The Sisters,’ which has suddenly become very popular recently. I must admit that they are very smart individuals, with their entry points favored by the public. It makes sense for them to become popular.”
“I’m crying right now. I’ve always really liked them.”
Fortunately, those like Li Xiaoru and Sun Weiwei were relatively low profile and stayed behind the scenes, so these “professionals” did not find their information, and their names were not picked out and poked at.
However, many rational netizens were not influenced by these negative remarks. They sensed something wrong with this group of people but could not find evidence because these accounts were not newly registered, but rather VIP members. Similar to how Taobao users with yellow diamonds had more credible evaluations than those with red hearts. This was why netizens chose to believe in the water army.
Guo Nan hired the most professional and established water army company in the country, which was founded many years ago with very experienced employees. They had tens of thousands of senior VIP accounts across all major platforms. As long as they were paid enough money, these haters could turn notorious public figures into clean and popular ones.
The rational netizens posted many comments to refute the water army, trying to expose their identity as deliberate haters.
“Damn. I just woke up. Why is there a group of haters?”
“Get out, haters.”
“I’m guessing it’s a water army hired by The Vet’s Loving Pets. With popularity comes jealousy and envy.”
“Is the director of The Vet’s Loving Pets a spam-bot God? His skills are inferior, but he is still jealous of Vet’s Cuties. He spammed the copycat all the way up to the top ten.”
“You should be quiet and sensible when engaging in such scandalous things. I’m surprised you have the nerve to come here and slander Vet’s Cuties and Doctor Yu. Aren’t you afraid that by attempting to steal the chicken, you will end up losing the rice? Consider using your brain more.”
“Everyone, please be strong-willed, and don’t be affected by the haters.”
…
The rational netizens deemed the other party a water army based on their experience and chose to believe in Doctor Yu and the others based on their beliefs and love for Vet’s Cuties. It was a bit of a slogan.
But the water army came prepared. They were not scared of this group of die-hard fans and had already prepared rebuttals with reasoning.
“Everyone, you must carefully identify similar cyber stars and their videos in the future. Don’t be fooled by them anymore. You try your best to pursue them online and say good things for them, but maybe they are counting their money behind the scenes and laughing while scolding you for being stupid.”
“Right. It’s too early to say things. These analyses are not groundless; generally speaking, these speculations will be realized in the end.”
“So this type of low-cost traffic documentary is not reliable at all. It’s so fake and is incomparable with the National Channel’s The Vet’s Loving Pets, which is based on actual materials filmed from a well-known pet hospital. Their master-level directors and producers can, at least, ensure the story is authentic and credible.”
“Why do I vaguely remember that the National Channel also produced Vet’s Cuties? Isn’t director Ye Ziliang a staff member of the National Television?”
“Ye Ziliang has already resigned from the National Channel! According to a source, the National Channel originally planned to improve and reprocess the sequel of Vet’s Cuties, but Ye Ziliang refused to obey the organization’s arrangements and insisted on following his own ideas. The National Channel’s leadership was infuriated, so he admitted his wrongdoings and resigned. Vet’s Cuties is now his individually produced video and has nothing to do with the National Channel. The Vet’s Loving Pets is the official one, with its production team coming from the Documentary Department of the National Channel. Only such a delicate production can have its quality guaranteed. Don’t be misled; we can’t have Ye Ziliang cheat under the guise of the National Channel!”
All the netizens were surprised as soon as this comment came out. Some had a deep impression of National Channel’s title at the end of Vet’s Cuties 1.
“No wonder the second episode’s ending did not have the National Channel.”
“I’ve just checked Weibo. Ye Ziliang’s Weibo profile says he’s an independent producer on the internet, so he is probably no longer related to the National Channel.”
“Why didn’t he make any noise? Is he trying to increase the popularity of his video by taking advantage of the National Channel’s authority? I feel like I’ve been lied to.”
