在今年的五月一日。在bilibili直播的A-SOUL Vtuber五人团队中发生了一些令人伤感和生气的事情。知名A-SOUL成员珈乐carol疑似收到公司不公平待遇。进入全网休眠状态。这个Vtuber团队每天直播收入都是接近百万。但这五个成员却只能拿到很少的工资。那天是她最后一场直播。我可以相信你。但是能相信你背后的资本家吗?直播间也出现许多的状况。都在全她不要为这个公司打工了。还隐约听见被工作人员辱骂。直播间的弹幕已经全部疯狂起来。但官方说珈乐carol的经济合同变更所导致的整个事件。我们也不能确定这是否真实的。但是在A-SOUL的团队里再也没有珈乐carol了。她已经不会再回来了。这真的非常的难受

On May 1st this year. Some sad and angry things happened in the five member team of a-soul vtuber broadcast live by BiliBili. Jiale Carol, a well-known a-soul member, is suspected to have received unfair treatment from the company. Enter the network wide sleep state. The live broadcast revenue of this vtuber team is close to one million every day. But these five members can only get very little salary. That day was her last live broadcast. I can trust you. But can you trust the capitalist behind you? There are also many situations in the live broadcasting room. It's all because she doesn't want to work for this company. I also faintly heard the staff abusing me. The barrage in the live studio has gone crazy. But the official said that the whole incident was caused by the change of the economic contract of Jiale Carol. We are not sure whether this is true. But in a-soul's team, there is no more Jiale Carol. She won't come back. This is really uncomfortable.

Write in Blog(Project 1): Why do you think you remember this so well? Try connecting one or more emotions to this memory.

不管什么原因。我觉得这件事情确实有点过分。这五个姑娘明显是言不由衷的在强颜欢笑。那天直播她们许多发言台本感太强烈了。感觉像是被控制的。最让人生气的是背后演员和粉丝被互相道德绑架了。粉丝刷礼物了演员又拿不动多少钱。在A-SOUL的事情背后。其本质是资本家认为Vtuber这个概念没什么价值。背后演员也没有价值。真正有价值的是里面的技术。这些技术是未来发展虚拟娱乐的基础。但那是未来，不是现在。而整个3D Vtuber 只是一个练习技术的项目。所以才会有大量短视的操作。最大的可能就是资本家认为背后演员不是核心生产资源。而是实验耗材。所以给予重视和优先级根本不足。粉丝眼中的演员是陪伴自己的人。是偶像。而资本家眼中的演员根本就不是偶像。甚至都不是项目的核心。只是一个播音员。

Whatever the reason. I think this is indeed a bit too much. The five girls were obviously insincere and forced to smile. On that day, many of them had a strong sense of speaking platform. It feels like being controlled. The most annoying thing is that the actors and fans behind the scenes were kidnapped by each other's morality. Fans brush gifts, and actors can't get much money. Behind the a-soul affair. The essence is that capitalists think that the concept of vtuber has little value. The actors behind it are worthless. What is really valuable is the technology inside. These technologies are the basis for the future development of virtual entertainment. But that's the future, not the present. And the whole 3D vtuber is just a project for practicing technology. So there will be a lot of short-sighted operations. The biggest possibility is that the capitalists think that the actors behind them are not the core production resources. But experimental consumables. Therefore, attention and priority are not enough. In the eyes of fans, actors are people who accompany themselves. They are idols. In the eyes of capitalists, actors are not idols at all. Not even the core of the project. Just an announcer.
