On July 14, some media reported that a driving learning platform endorsed by actor Jimmy Lin closed down, and the owner of the driving school lamented that business was difficult to do.
The media said that there have been a large number of complaints about a driving learning platform on the complaint platform. Netizens accused the popular driving school platform of closing down and the boss ran away. The driving training company it belonged to was also empty of people. The corresponding public platform was also deactivated. Everyone practiced I can't get my car back, and the content of my appeal is also that I hope to get compensation.
According to the founder of the driving learning platform in the "Letter of Apology", the company's predicament was caused by the boss's business misjudgment, coupled with the impact of the general environment. As the founder and actual controller of the company, he , will promise to assume full legal and social responsibilities, fully confirm the damage of all students, and will continue training or refund fees through the platform to properly handle the students' demands.
Consumers are obviously not very satisfied with the response from the platform boss. Some netizens said that they had signed up for three months and originally planned to take the second subject on July 20, but now they can’t even find a contact person, and they can’t even get the registration fee. Not sure about coming back.
So some netizens who felt they had been cheated found the account of Jimmy Lin, the spokesperson of the driving school platform, and commented on his travel photos, saying that the driving school endorsed by Jimmy Lin had closed down, and that he signed up because he saw the celebrity Jimmy Lin endorsed. Now the driving school is running smoothly. It’s over, should Lin Zhiying come out to help the students ask for an explanation?
Some netizens think that Jimmy Lin has a pretty good image in the minds of many people because he has starred in some classic works. Now the driving school has left the driving school with money, but Jimmy Lin has collected endorsement fees and does nothing. It is really chilling. .
Some netizens were rude and said that the driving school endorsed by Jimmy Lin ran away, but Jimmy Lin was traveling around and having so much fun. Did he ever think about the people who were deceived?
To be honest, I think it is not uncommon for the public to see celebrity endorsements "overturning". From the beginning, celebrities such as , Wang Han, , etc. became famous for endorsing financial products, and then , Chen He, , , Guan Xiaotong, and others endorsed franchise stores, which made Franchisees were left in dire straits to defend their rights, and now a driving school endorsed by Jimmy Lin has run away.
I think it’s okay if celebrities don’t endorse things. As long as celebrity endorsements are involved, it seems that there will be one or another problem in the end. One of the things that will be brought up every time is whether the celebrity should bear responsibility if something goes wrong with the endorsement.
Looking at so many celebrity endorsements in the past, there are really not many cases where the celebrity himself is implicated and implicated because of the overturn of the endorsed product. When people make trouble, they all say that they choose such things because of the celebrity endorsement, but unfortunately , you look at celebrity endorsements when choosing, but when something goes wrong, celebrities can pick themselves out.
This is also the reason why people are not willing to believe in celebrity endorsements nowadays. Except for the star-chasing girls in the fandom, almost no one buys products because of the "celebrity's face".
The driving school endorsed by Jimmy Lin this time is running away. According to netizens, it is Jimmy Lin who is helping to seek justice. However, Jimmy Lin certainly cannot pay for the hole repair by himself. He is urging the person in charge to solve the problem quickly, but on the surface the owner of the driving school has already He took full responsibility, and did not say that he would not refund the money. He wrote in black and white that he would be responsible to the end. Therefore, there was really not much that Jimmy Lin could do. Netizens used Lin Zhiying's account to make sarcastic comments, which was of little use.
Jimmy Lin doesn’t care about anything, he can’t do anything.
What is even more regrettable is that according to a former staff member of the driving school, at least 80,000 students were involved this time, and the amount was as high as 400 million. It would be difficult for the boss of a bankrupt platform to come up with so much money. It would be about the same if it were Jimmy Lin, but Jimmy Lin would definitely not pay for it.
I can only hope that the relevant departments can think of a solution. As netizens said, it is all people’s hard-earned money. The boss took the money and ran away. Jimmy Lin took the endorsement fee to travel. It seems that the injured are always ordinary people. I think This world shouldn't be like this, and it won't always be like this.
For example, regarding celebrity endorsements, wouldn’t it be more reasonable if celebrities could be linked to after-sales service in the future? After all, it would be too easy for celebrities to just show their faces after receiving so much money.
