After having fun all night long, the next morning, Lin Qingyuan and Cheng Xiao said goodbye with a long kiss full of sunshine in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel.
At this point, the two-day trip to the UK finally came to an end, and next came the relatively unfamiliar trip to the United States.
Frankly speaking, Lin Qingyuan actually doesn't care about what achievements and attention he can achieve in the United States.
He mainly does domestic entertainment.
And there is a conflict between domestic entertainment and American entertainment.
Due to some well-known reasons, it is impossible for the United States to allow a well-established Chinese star to gain too much popularity and influence in the United States.
It doesn't matter if you are on the second or third tier, but if you want to be on the first tier, they will never allow it. After all, no one understands cultural export better than the United States.
But since the development environment of the American market is so difficult, why would he come to the United States to make a fool of himself?
To put it bluntly, Lin Qingyuan was trapped by the market.
Although national self-confidence has developed, domestic entertainment still feels that international coffee is more popular.
For example, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, who have been fighting for almost ten years, are obviously the real candidates for the 85 TOP in domestic entertainment.
They are both evergreen actors with real achievements.
However, an outsider relied on the team's strong marketing and the so-called childhood filter to take advantage of the sinking market that did not understand domestic entertainment, and tampered with the public memory.
Therefore, in order to avoid the emergence of certain voices, Lin Qingyuan could only find time to come to the United States to "show strength", complete all-round suppression of them, and silence them.
Lin Qingyuan was already very unhappy about being arranged as a dog-licker. Naturally, he didn't want to let himself be inexplicably squeezed by a so-called "international celebrity" again.
I followed the team to Heathrow Airport by car, and all the procedures before boarding went smoothly.
However, when taking off the mask and going through the security check, many passers-by in the terminal noticed the large group of people here and recognized Lin Qingyuan, who had the most outstanding temperament and the most eye-catching visual effect.
In fact, it is not difficult. After all, even if Lin Qingyuan does not take off the mask to show his face, his exposed eyebrows and model figure are too recognizable. In addition, many Asian students and workers know Lin Qingyuan.
I am running activities in London for two days.
So the story spread, and more and more people gathered around with their mobile phones in hand, trying to catch a glimpse of his true appearance.
Most of them are Asian fans, but there are also French people who know Lin Qingyuan through fashion magazines, and British people who come here just to join in the fun.
Upon seeing this, the security personnel hired by the team quickly stood up to maintain order and protected Lin Qingyuan in the middle.
The accompanying agent Yan Jun also quickly asked Lin Qingyuan to speed up and enter the VIP lounge quickly to avoid affecting the normal operation of the airport and disturbing public order.
After all, they don't have the connections in the British peninsula to help resolve troubles and solve problems.
In the final analysis, the situation in the United Kingdom and even the entire European and American regions is completely different from that of neon South Korea and Southeast Asia. Lin Qingyuan has no intention of entering the British market.
Therefore, there is no need to enter the market so aggressively to attract attention in order to gain traffic dividends for yourself.
Fortunately, the group of people finally entered the waiting room without any danger, but just as Lin Qingyuan sat down, his cell phone in his jacket pocket suddenly rang.
He took out the unlock screen of his phone and took a look. It was a photo and text sent by Cheng Xiao on WeChat.
Lin Qingyuan
Xiao Xiao: [The car window was fogged up on the way to the airport today, and it was your name written on it.]
How old are you and are you still writing here?
Thinking of the scene of Cheng Xiao breathing and painting on the car window, Lin Qingyuan laughed softly under the cover of the mask, but it was indeed quite cute and he liked it very much.
Departure from Heathrow Airport at 10:00 UK time.
At 13:00 US time, we landed at Newark Airport.
The eight-hour flight was enough for Lin Qingyuan to catch up on his sleep and regain the energy and physical strength he had lost last night.
However, the plane had just reached the predetermined altitude and entered a stable flight. Before Lin Qingyuan could put on the eye mask and close his eyes to rest, Yan Jun came over with a tablet.
Under Lin Qingyuan's slightly speechless and resentful gaze, Yan Jun expressed his intention of coming, saying that he wanted to use this time to confirm the relevant work matters for the next period of time.
The Met Gala started on time at 5:30 pm US time, so they had to enter the preparation stage immediately after landing, and there was no time to talk about work.
"There will be a lot of celebrities from the fashion industry attending the Met Gala tonight. I will send you a list of invited guests from the organizer later. You can take a look at it if you have time, but it doesn't really matter whether you take a look or not. Anyway, your celebrity is in it.
Belong to the highest group of people, so others will remember your name and come to you."
Lin Qingyuan is probably going to rejuvenate himself this time in New York cosplay. He is not famous but has a frightening celebrity status.
Fortunately, he still has some connections in Chou Lijian. Justin Bieber and his fiancée Hailey will also attend this fashion event. They just talked about it on Instagram a few days ago. It seems that friends are finally getting together again.
"Then we will continue to shoot ELLE's Silver 10 cover in New York tomorrow, and then fly directly to Seoul. We have tentatively scheduled a night flight at 12 o'clock tomorrow night. If the day's shooting content is not completed, we will change it to the morning of the day after tomorrow."
The primary goal of Lin Qingyuan’s team and LVMH Group is definitely to promote Lin Qingyuan to VOGUE US, which has the highest gold content, but who can make VOGUE higher?
They feel that since Lin Qingyuan has become the cover character of the Chinese version of VOGUE's October issue, he should not appear on the cover of the American version of VOGUE's Silver 10th issue.
Therefore, after consultation between Lin Qingyuan’s team and LVMH, they decided to take the next best option and go to PR for other magazines.
In the end, Wisdom chose Matt Damon, Harper's Bazaar chose Nicole Kidman, and Lin Qingyuan won ELLE.
"After arriving in South Korea, the first day was to shoot the official advertisement for the new business. We will talk about the endorsements later. The second day was to shoot the South Korean version of Marie Claire's October issue."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When this magazine is finished, you will only have one "W KOREA" to complete the six-issue slam. By then we will spend great efforts on marketing in South Korea
Within a period of time, you must become the first male artist to achieve the six-issue Grand Slam achievement, and you are also a foreign artist."
"Then on the third day in South Korea, a variety show "Knowing Brothers" with high ratings in South Korea sent us an invitation. It is a relatively high-quality resource. You can go up and brush your face to maintain exposure for us in South Korea.
It will also help to expand the market.”
"Knowing Brother" is a national variety show in South Korea that even the elderly watch. Many popular artists and idol groups have appeared on this show, and it is very popular.
However, after entering 2021, the ratings have continued to decline, and now they can basically only fluctuate in the 2%-3% range. This also made the program team boldly use Lin Qingyuan, a foreign artist who has mixed reputations in South Korean fans, in an attempt to
Let him spur ratings growth.
"The past few days have been nothing more than attending parties, shooting magazines and recording programs, so I don't have any questions to ask. Let's talk specifically about the endorsements. Are they the two new endorsements that were confirmed last time?" Lin Qingyuan asked.
"Yes, Malaysia's Milo wanted to find a spokesperson with outstanding product delivery capabilities, and then it set its sights on you. Milo's parent company is Nestlé, so similar to the situation of Haagen-Dazs, they directly digested it internally."
"Have the endorsement fees been negotiated?"
"15 million is already the limit. After all, Milo can't enter the Chinese market, so your ability to carry goods is also greatly reduced, and you can't support a value of 30 to 40 million."
"If they can enter the Chinese market, then I probably won't be able to endorse them."
Lin Qingyuan doesn't feel it's a pity, after all, he still carries Milo's competing products, and he doesn't really care about this beverage brand that mainly targets the Southeast Asian market.
It's just an ordinary business choice.
"As for South Korea's Jinro Soju, we talked about 20 million. There was a chance to talk about 25 million or even 30 million, but they were unwilling to give up another spokesperson IU, so they had to do this."
"If they give up IU for me, South Koreans will be treated as traitors."
There is a saying in South Korea that big-name female celebrities endorse soju and big-name male celebrities endorse beer.
However, because Lin Qingyuan endorsed Tsingtao Beer, his team could only try to contact the soju brand.
When it’s time to cut leeks, you must take action decisively!
After all, in a sense, cutting off mature leeks is to make the young leeks grow taller and stronger.
In the same way, if Lin Qingyuan could endorse a few more brands and shoot a few more commercials that would be played on a loop in South Korea, it would be difficult to even imagine his popularity.
With this purpose, his team contacted various brand companies in South Korea that needed spokespersons.
Unexpectedly, he actually encountered Jinro Soju, a century-old brand that has always ranked first in sales in South Korea.
Jinro Soju's status in South Korea is equivalent to China's Moutai, and because of its price, it has a wider audience than Moutai. It is both a national treasure brand and a national brand.
Therefore, South Korean artists regard endorsing Jinro Soju as a symbol of honor. Of course, Jinro also has very high standards and only cooperates with popular actors and singers.
Their current spokesperson is IU Lee Ji Eun, and Lim Ching Principle is their choice to expand overseas markets.
"OK, plus the previous BC card endorsement, I now have three overseas endorsements, and the total endorsement fee is 40 million." Lin Qingyuan made easy money again, and he is now in a good mood.
Printing his face on the bottle of Jinro is tantamount to attacking those South Korean wolf warriors who can't stand him.
It's a pity that South Korea's local packaging will most likely be based on another spokesperson IU, otherwise Lin Qingyuan really wants to see what stupid things the angry South Koreans will do.
"In addition, Thailand also sent an invitation for cooperation a few days ago. The 711 convenience store of CP Group wants to invite you to become their global spokesperson. However, the market is limited, so the endorsement fee is only 10 million."
"It doesn't matter, ten million is enough. After all, the endorsement fee of A-level celebrities in Thailand is only two to three million, so my ten million has already set a historical record for endorsement fees in the Thai entertainment industry, right?"
The seeds that were sown in 2019 were not finally harvested until 2021 due to the sudden righteousness in 2020.
The growth cycle is relatively long, but that’s okay.
Better late than never.
The next few years after Yijing are critical timing. If you want to expand your overseas reputation, then hurry up.
Just as Lin Qingyuan was catching up on his sleep and recuperating his strength at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, there was already a commotion in China because of a piece of news published by the BBC on its website.
#林清元成小ambleHand in hand#
#netizencambridge encounters Lin Qingyuan and Cheng Xiao#
#林清元成小在狠向路Hand in hand#
The domestic news media processed the BBC news and turned it into a hotly searched item.
Love you, Jiao: [Lin Qingyuan and Cheng Xiao were photographed walking hand in hand on the streets of Cambridge. The one wearing a black mask and hat is Lin Qingyuan, the one with blue and gray hair is Cheng Xiao, followed by Lin Qingyuan’s assistant. #林青元成小Holding Hands
Stroll##林清元成小成xiao hand in hand pressing down the road#】
Then there are a few pictures that look like they were taken from the video, but the picture quality is not very clear.
The message exposed by these nine photos is simple.
First of all, the woman must be Cheng Xiao, because the blue-grey color she just dyed is too conspicuous, and she is not wearing a mask. When the photo is enlarged, her facial features can be vaguely seen.
Secondly, the man standing holding her hand.
To put it bluntly, there are only two possibilities.
Lin Qingyuan himself or Lin Qingyuan's imitator.
Although the man in the photo is wearing a mask and cannot see his face, his body shape and clothing style are very similar to Lin Qingyuan. In addition, everyone knows that Lin Qingyuan is running activities in London these two days, so it is really
It's hard not to cast suspicious eyes on him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anyway, netizens have already concluded that this is Lin Qingyuan.
After all, the scandal between Lin Qingyuan and Cheng Xiao has been rumored for four years, but the two parties have never clarified it even once.
【Why am I not surprised at all? 】
[How romantic! They met each other in the UK four years ago. And they also had a story in Cambridge, both of which were related to Lai Nezi. Now I have to go online to find resources if I want to relive it.
】
[Lin Qingyuan just complained in London that the BBC only reports fake news, but the BBC immediately gave him real news. Was this also part of your calculation? 】
[Brother Yuan is blocking the gun for someone again, right?]
[It’s so disgusting to see these photos! Why is it Cheng Xiao, the bald deadbeat? 】
[Brother Yuan just likes her. It’s not like he hasn’t done well in his career. He is already at the top of his game. He knows what he really wants now.]
[I can’t even see my face clearly so I started to press my head. Why don’t you look forward to the first Met Gala of billionaire actor and new fashion king Lin Qingyuan and the new National Day movie Changjin Lake.]
[Boy moms, you are so scary! Don’t think how good your idol is. We are all human. We don’t really think that he is some kind of god who falls from the sky without eating fireworks, right? A fellow woman said this to a 23-year-old girl.
Even if it’s vicious and disgusting, it’s really powerful.]
[Why do we need to see the full face? Shouldn’t fans be able to recognize their idol’s walking posture? 】
[NMD is laughing so hard. All the marketing accounts on the Internet are acting as matchmakers to match them up today. Is Lin Qingyuan trying to make his girlfriend lose her fans so that he can take them in? 】
[My attitude towards Lin Qingyuan’s love is that if you decide to go for a walk on the streets of Cambridge at ten o’clock in the evening, then I will feel happy for you at nine o’clock.]
[Seeing Lin Qingyuan walking relaxed and happily with others on the street, as a passerby, I can only feel happy for him. The unattainable top star in our hearts also wants to enjoy the happiness of being an ordinary person! ]
[After more than four years of busy work and incredible achievements, how happy it would be to take a leisurely walk in a small town in England where no one knows me during my break. It would be better if there were no cameras facing you at this moment.
Yeah, we all see how hard you have worked in the past few years. Brother, Irene has always been here.]
Unexpectedly but as expected, not many fans of Girlfriend came out to protest and said they wanted to quit being fans, and even the vast majority of fans sent their blessings.
It seems that the powder cleansing and desensitization work in the past two years has been very effective. The proportion of girlfriend fans in Lin Qingyuan's fan group may already be the lowest among the top domestic entertainment fans.
As for countermeasures, keep silent.
Escape is shameful but useful.
You can be emotional in life, but you must remain rational when it comes to work. Maintaining the current "ambiguous" state is undoubtedly the most beneficial choice for him at the moment.
