The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

[No? Why is the price so high?]

[Bai Xingjian really treated his fans as Japanese. 】

[A T-shirt starts at 159, Bai Xingjian is crazy about money! ]

[It seems that "Squid Game" really made him lose a lot of money, and he actually thought of using peripheral products to make back his investment. 】

[But this choice is really unwise. Squidward can't even be shown in China. Will anyone really buy it? ]

[Yes, brothers, yes, and quite a few. ]

[Just look at that doll that starts at 259 yuan. It only took five minutes to sell units. What else can I say? ]

[No, Bai Xingjian’s fans really don’t take money seriously, do they? ]

[I’m going to fight you rich people! 】

Those who curse are firing on all cylinders in the comment section, while those who want to buy are buying silently.

……

"Honey, what size T-shirt do you want?"

In front of the computer screen, Su Caitao, a well-known domestic music critic, asked her husband.

As a loyal fan of Fenghuang Yufei, even if "Squid Game" cannot be released in China, Su Caitao will naturally give her full support to Phoenix Pictures and the drama "Squid Game".

After all, Su Caitao has never forgotten how she has been able to live the life she has now.

"Which number? Just 555."

Su Caitao's husband smiled and said, "I feel like this number really represents my life."

"..."

Su Caitao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Does living with me make you feel wronged? 555 is here?"

"Why do I mean that?"

Su Caitao's husband smiled and said, "My 555 means that every day when I am with you, I want to dance happily. Why three 5s instead of one 5? It means that important things should be said three times."

"yue~"

Su Caitao pretended to vomit, "Very good, you succeeded in making me sick."

Su Caitao ordered T-shirts and jackets while chatting.

In addition to the number 555 requested by her husband, Su Caitao also customized the number for herself, which is their wedding anniversary.

Since they are all for collection anyway, it would be better if they have commemorative numbers.

After a long period of busy work, it was almost two o'clock when Su Caitao finally finished picking out the things she wanted to buy and completed the payment.

"Did this cost over three thousand? It seems that the peripherals of Squidward Games are indeed a bit expensive this time."

Looking at the payment interface, Su Caitao sighed.

"what?"

"More than three thousand?!"

“So much money?!!!”

The husband next to him said three times in a row, then stroked his chin and said, "It seems that this is the first time that Bai Xingjian has made this kind of peripheral content. The price is indeed a bit high in China.

And his price is so high, I hope the quality can be worth the price! ”

“It should be worthy of it.”

Su Caitao smiled and said, "I looked at the materials of those T-shirts, hoodies, and jackets. They are all high-end fabrics on the market. The premium is not too high. They are completely worthy of the IP of Squid Game. No... they should be completely worthy of the IP of Bai Xingjian, hahaha."

"The IP address of Bai Xingjian..."

Su Caitao's husband looked at her strangely, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it wouldn't be too much to increase the price of this T-shirt by a few hundred yuan."

"Then Bai Xingjian was really scolded by netizens in China."

Su Caitao laughed, "Hahaha," and then said, "But it's been so long, and these peripherals are still not sold out. It seems that the supply this time is really sufficient."

Su Caitao did not say that fans’ purchasing power was weak, because when choosing styles, she saw the sales volume of related products.

Many of them have sales of several thousand+, and some even have sales of more than several thousand+.

Within less than half an hour of putting the product on the shelves, so many customers bought it.

Can you say that Bai Xingjian’s fans are not supportive?
Moreover, when Su Caitao paid, she saw the courier message that the goods would be shipped within 48 hours, which proves that the supply of "Squid Game" peripheral products is indeed very sufficient.

"Bai Xingjian is doing this. Is he really planning to use the sales of Squid Game peripherals to offset the investment cost of filming Squid Game?"

Su Caitao's husband said suspiciously, "After all, if a drama like Squid Game cannot be shown in China, the loss of revenue for Bai Xingjian and Phoenix Pictures is immeasurable."

After hearing what he said, Su Caitao also became a little suspicious.

After all, it was the first time that she encountered a situation where so many peripheral products were sold without being out of stock.

If it were another company's peripheral products, they would probably be sold out after only a few hundred units sold, in order to demonstrate to the public the appeal of their IP.

But what about Squidward?

The sales volume is so high, but you are still selling?
It's a bit like a situation where an unscrupulous businessman ran away with the bucket.

"There is another possibility."

Su Caitao thought for a while before saying, "The peripherals prepared by Bai Xingjian and his team were prepared according to the trend of the normal release of "Squid Game" in China. However, when "Squid Game" failed to pass the review, the production line of "Squid Game" peripherals had already produced a lot of peripherals as planned.

The contract has been signed, and the situation is like the arrow is on the string that has to be shot, so Bai Xingjian can only produce the peripherals according to the original plan.

In this way, the abundant supply of Squidward Games peripherals this time can be justified. "

“That seems to be the case.”

Su Caitao's husband sighed: "It seems that the inability of "Squid Game" to be released in China has really caused a lot of losses to Bai Xingjian. It is only right that we support him."

"Uh-huh!"

Su Caitao smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's so late, go to bed, and watch "Squid Game" tomorrow."

Although she had never used Netflix before, Su Caitao has recently been cramming a lot of content on the subject in order to watch "Squid Game".

If it wasn't so late today, she would have definitely watched a few episodes of "Squidward Gamble" on Netflix later.

But now it’s past two in the morning…

Forget it, rest is the most important thing!

After all, they are not young people in their twenties anymore.

……

The topic discussed by Su Caitao and her husband was also discussed by many netizens on Weibo.

Of course, the discussions among netizens were not that in-depth.

Many of the comments were focused on whether Bai Xingjian was planning to make money from the peripheral products of "Squid Game".

As a result, many netizens who followed the trend and bought peripheral products chose to get a refund directly after finding that the peripheral products of "Squid Game" could not be sold out.

[Sisters, stop losses in time! These peripherals can’t be sold out, and there may be some big scams hidden inside. ]

[That’s right! Anyway, I returned it. It cost more than 200 yuan! ]

[You even refunded more than 200 yuan. It really made me laugh. If I didn’t know, I would have thought you refunded more than 2,000 yuan.] [What’s wrong? More than 200 yuan is not money?]

[The peripherals of "Squid Game" this time are really a bit weird. I advise everyone to wait and see before buying. If your money is stuck on this, it will be hard to explain. ]

[Is there anything wrong with this? They are all legitimate online shopping platforms, how can they cheat you out of your money? 】

[I think these people are just middlemen. Seeing that the supply of Squid Game is so abundant, they can't sell it for much money, so they are exaggerating.]

[Hahaha, you know what, I have a friend who specializes in this, and when he found out that there was so much supply of Squid Game peripherals, he started to complain in several groups. At first, he boasted to us that he could make a lot of money this time, but now? Hahaha, he is still busy returning the goods. ]

[Not bad, not bad! Bai Xingjian finally fired the first shot in his counterattack against the middlemen! ]

[These middlemen who specialize in making money from fans should be punished! ]

At two or three in the morning, there were still quite a few netizens discussing issues related to "Squid Game" on Weibo.

But when everyone found that the peripheral products of "Squid Game" were selling out, there were fewer and fewer topics about this.

The main reason is that there is really nothing to discuss about this topic, and everyone is going to watch "Spirit Lord" or "Squidward", so who cares about the peripheral products that are selling well?

But when the time came to noon on April 1st.

Xiao Ma, who has already watched nine episodes of "Squidward Floyd" on Netflix, is also preparing to buy some "Squidward Floyd" peripherals.

Xiao Ma suddenly discovered that all the peripheral products of "Squid Game" on various online shopping platforms were sold out.

"No, it's fake, right? Didn't everyone say last night that they were selling out?"

Xiao Ma was stunned: "But what is going on now? Is this a protective removal?"

Xiao Ma looked through the various commodities with a confused look on his face.

Sales volume: 3+.

Sales volume: 5+.

Sales volume: 9+.

Sales volume...

"This data doesn't look like a protective removal, but rather it looks like they're really sold out..."

Xiao Ma's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Could it be because it was too late last night, so Bai Xingjian's fans all went to sleep, so that the peripherals of Squid Game were not sold out in the first place?

The fans woke up today, so they bought up all the merchandise?"

Xiao Ma spoke his guess in a daze.

I just never thought that the reason why the peripheral products of "Squidward Games" were suddenly sold out was because the drama was so great.

But there is nothing wrong with what Xiao Ma said.

After all, if you are not a fan of Bai Xingjian, who would spend so much time watching the show on the international version of Netflix!
……

Time returns to the present.

At this time, Weibo had already exploded.

The entries related to "Squid Game" directly broke the dominance of "Spirit Lord" on Weibo hot searches with great force and took the top spot.

#Squid Game#
These four words alone firmly topped the Weibo hot search list.

Such a scene made the netizens who had previously discussed "Spirit Lord" look confused.

[No, who can tell me how the sky suddenly changed when I woke up? ]

[Where is my "Spirit Lord"? How come "Squid Game" is ranked first? ]

[What level is "Squid Game"? How dare it compete with "Spirit Lord"? 】

[Are you "Spiritual Lord" fans really too confident? Have you not woken up yet? Are you still living in the dreamlike scene from last night? ]

[Squid Game has already topped the trending search list on Twitter, so what’s the big deal about it being number one on Weibo’s trending search list? ]

[Topped the Twitter account? I think you, Bai Xingjian’s fans, are really crazy! Were you stimulated by the big scene in “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” yesterday? You are talking in your sleep in broad daylight. 】

[You fans of "Spirit Lord" are really stubborn! Even at this time, you are still unwilling to admit the strength of "Squid Game". ]

[That’s right. If you don’t want to believe it, just go to Twitter and check it out yourself.]

[The peripherals of "Squid Game" were sold out this morning. You can tell me whether the drama "Squid Game" is good or not. 】

[Oh my god! Girls! The show "Squid Game" seems to have really started off well, and it's now number one on Twitter! ]

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[Is Bai Xingjian using some kind of money power? 】

[Money ability, money ability, is it so difficult to admit that others are excellent? 】

[Of course, what is the basis for Squid Game? ]

[Why? Because the show "Squidward Gamble" has already topped the "Today's Hot List" in dozens of countries on Netflix. You can see the screenshots for yourself! ]

In the comment section, someone posted a screenshot of "Squidward Fever" dominating the charts in various countries on Netflix.

At first, everyone thought that Bai Xingjian’s fans had gone crazy because of the big scene created by “Ling Jue” last night.

It was not until later that many fans of "Spirit Lord" personally confirmed it that they were forced to admit this fact.

Of course, admitting it doesn’t mean they approve of the show “Squidward Gamble”.

Many fans of "Spirit Lord" have a question.

So why is "Squid Game" able to dominate so many charts?
And the radiation level even reached dozens of countries.

It's simply incredible.

……

Magic City.

U-View Office Building.

In a certain meeting room, the atmosphere was terribly depressing.

Someone looked up at Chu Liya who was sitting in the first seat. She lowered her head and said nothing.

The same was true for Hong Xingrong and Ding Yuntao who were sitting next to her.

But because of the perspective, many people could see the deathly expressions on their faces.

In fact, it’s not just Hong Xingrong and Ding Yuntao who are like this, many people in the field are in this state.

After all, no one could have imagined that "Spirit Lord", which crashed the Weibo server in the early hours of this morning, would be suppressed by "Squid Game" during the day.

Many people in the field are still wondering if they are still dreaming.

Because the performance of "Squid Game" was so explosive that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

The conference room, filled with a gloomy atmosphere, was silent for a while.

Chu Liya then asked, "Has anyone watched the full episode of Squid Game? Squid Game has achieved such success, and there are many things we can learn from it. Can anyone tell us about their understanding of this drama?"

After the words were spoken, the conference room fell silent.

Everyone in the field looked at each other in bewilderment.

With such a joyful atmosphere last night, who would go to see "Squidward"? (End of this chapter)
