    296. One party is in trouble

    Little Magic Box has been online for more than half a month. Although there is no substantial profit yet, Gu Pan reads the suggestions and praises of some users on Weibo from time to time, and his mood is as light as if he is in the clouds every day.

    Business cooperation naturally followed, and clothing brands, skin care products brands, cosmetics brands, and even perfume brands came to our door one by one.

    Although these brands are not first-tier brands, and the most powerful are only second-tier mid-range brands, Pan Pan thought over and over again, but only accepted the cooperation invitation from ZERO, one of the second-tier women’s clothing brands.

    She doesn’t dare to be greedy at the beginning and wants everything. ZERO’s women’s clothing is relatively affordable and the style is light and mature, which is an area that Gu Pan is good at. She is ready to take this step steadily and then continue to develop other categories.

    The data was improving all the way, but programmer Zhao Bingcheng looked at the computer screen and frowned quietly.

    These days, Zhao Bingcheng figured out that the boss himself didn’t know much about these things, so he called Gu Chengjue directly.

    Gu Chengjue on the other end was preparing to review for the final exam. He was in the library. He originally wanted to hang up, but after seeing Zhao Bingcheng’s name, he walked out of the library and picked up.

    “What’s wrong?” Zhao Bingcheng called. There was probably a problem with the server.

    “There are some abnormalities in the server data.” Zhao Bingcheng looked at the screen, “I think someone may be watching.”

    The result was just as Gu Chengjue expected. The young man frowned and asked, “When did it start?”

    There are many possibilities for being maliciously attacked, such as blackmail, malicious competition among peers, etc., but no matter what it is, it is a bit too early for such a small APP that is just in its infancy.

    “Let me look at the time… Well, if we look at those tentative attacks, they started last night.” This time was indeed chosen well. After all, no one in such a small studio could work shifts with Zhao Bingcheng, and it was unattended at night.

    Of course Gu Chengjue also knew about this problem, “Wait for me for a while, I’m going back to the dormitory now.”

    “Okay.” Zhao Bingcheng felt a little relieved after receiving Gu Chengjue’s answer.

    However, at the same time, another storm began to brew on Weibo.

    Originally, when Little Magic Box was launched, some users had complained about some issues, such as the poor posture of the male model, deficiencies in the design of the program itself, bugs, etc. These concerns all felt like normal feedback, and they also carefully collected these suggestions to prepare for improvement bit by bit.

    But with the sudden and severe server lag today, it was clear that some sharp remarks began to appear in the comments.

    Hua Fei Hua Luo 998: What is the use of this APP?Forget it’s slow to open, but the program is stuck, and there’s still so little content inside. The male model is still hunched over like an idiot. Can you promise me not to look for male models in the trash?

    Jiujiu_54896548: Isn’t it too eye-catching for girls to match it?What the hell are these? They are styles from a few years ago, and they are still used for outfits, let alone makeup. They dare to make videos with any rubbish technology. Now, can they make videos as long as they have a pair of hands?

    Not to mention that Gu Pan felt uncomfortable after seeing this, Li Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Holy shit, are these people crazy? Fashion is a kind of reincarnation. There is nothing wrong with the styles that were popular a few years ago and are now popular again! Damn, you are weird! You dare to complain about my Liu Nan!”

    Lin Mu looked at Gu Pan with some worry, “Boss, don’t be sad, I think the daily makeup in your video is quite practical…”

    Although our own employees said so, the comment area was suddenly filled with such abuse, which naturally started a new round of vicious cycle when new users saw it.

    What’s even more terrible is that in the afternoon of that day, things escalated to another level.

    One of the women’s casual outfits found in the Little Magic Box is very similar to an outfit Du Yu posted on Weibo a few days ago. After Du Yu’s fans saw it, several Weibo posts questioning plagiarism immediately appeared in the hot search, and detailed comparison pictures were attached, which seemed reasonable.

    Originally, the APP had not yet established a firm foothold and there were only a few loyal fans. However, Du Yu had many loyal fans. Suddenly, the official Weibo of Little Magic Box was exploded with @.

    “A little-known stylist dares to touch our Du Yu. Could it be that I heard somewhere before that Du Yu was going to launch his own outfit app and came here to copy a low-end version? The real name is disgusting! @小魔Box-knows your outfits.”

    “Haha, forget about plagiarism. Where did you find the pheasant male and female models? The male model is more hunched than my grandfather. If you are poor, don’t make any APP. Just wait for Du Yu’s lawsuit. @小魔Box-knows your outfit.”

    “No wonder it has only been online for a few days and it has become more and more stuck. It seems that it is going to be cool. I actually copied it on the head of the stylist of Huanyu Entertainment. I suggested that the stylist suddenly die on the spot. @小魔Box-knows your outfit.”

    This negative energy was like a plague spreading among the crowd, leaving Gu Pan at a loss for a moment.

    Gu Pan could accept problems such as app lags, bugs, crashes, unprofessional male models, etc., but suddenly a big label of plagiarism came over. Gu Pan didn’t even know what was going on, and he was sprayed with blood.

    Gu Pan cheered up alone in the office. He felt that it was impossible to let the problem ferment and began to think about countermeasures.

    It is normal to have similar outfits. The color matching is also based on the popular colors of the season. It is normal to have some similarities. The key point is that the two of them wore the same jacket and the lining color was similar, so they were attracted to each other.

    Now that I calm down and think about it, Gu Pan is no longer so panicked. After all, although Du Yu’s outfit was released before Little Magic Box, the original film was made before Du Yu.

    As long as the original film time is released, the plagiarism incident should be put to rest.

    But Gu Pan asked about the lagging problem just now. Zhao Bingcheng hesitated for a while and just told Gu Pan that the only way to solve the problem was to replace it with a more advanced server.

    Then Gu Pan went to find out the price of the server. After being shocked, he stayed in the office anxious.

    Suddenly, Gu Pan’s phone rang, and Gu Pan was so frightened that he suddenly picked up the phone.

    “Hello?”

    The person on the other end of the phone spoke in a formulaic tone, “Ms. Gu, please give our company a reasonable explanation for today’s negative searches.”

    It’s the people from ZERO.

    Only then did Gu Pan realize that the little magic box had been trending.

    She swallowed, her voice trembling unconsciously as she spoke. Gu Pan had never expected such a big ups and downs.

    “Sorry… the plagiarism definitely does not exist. We will immediately draft a public relations copy to appease the users, and then immediately arrange to clarify the facts and change the server.”

    “If this matter is not properly resolved within 72 hours, our company will terminate our cooperation with your studio and sue your studio for breach of contract.”

    The other party’s tone was extremely cold, and combined with the written language, he sounded like a robot.

    Gu Pan took a deep breath, his nose was a little sore, and he could only force himself to calm down.

    “Okay, I get it.”

    =====

    On the second day after my aunt’s death, I was hunched over and typing in front of the computer.

    Why do people on the Internet say that using alcohol cotton balls to plug my ears is very useful, but it is of no use to me… I cried.
