Chapter 117: Elves! Elves! (First update!)

  Since it has been decided that Qin Luo will play the male lead, the shooting plan cannot help but be revised again.

  After measuring Qin Luo's height, one of Jin Daren's photography assistants rushed back to help Qin Luo get clothes and wigs that fit him.

  Jinder continued to help Chen Siyuan take photos, at least to complete this set of queen series first.

  "I still think I'm not suitable." Qin Luo said with a bitter face to Lian Ke Cheng who was standing beside him.

  "Why isn't it suitable?"

  "In that case, wouldn't I be famous?"

  "What's the point of being famous? Isn't it better that way?" Li Jiancheng retorted.

  "Others will scold me." Qin Luo looked wronged.

  "Who scolded you? Why did they scold you?" Li Jiancheng was furious, with a posture that seemed to be ready to roll up his sleeves and fight.

  This woman, when she gets fierce, is really intimidating. Like a tank, there's no stronghold that can't be flattened, no slope that can't be climbed over; anything can be done.

  "I'm a doctor, a Chinese medicine practitioner. If I were to endorse your product"

  Lian Qingcheng pouted and said: "Correcting you on a mistake. That product is yours, not mine. What percentage of shares do I hold?"

  "At least outsiders think it's yours."

  "Ah, yes. Who else would be a fool like me? I'll just stand here in front of the stage with this honor and smile foolishly, while all the practical benefits fall into your pocket." Li Qiancheng said with a laugh.

  Qin Luo smiled and didn't respond to her words, saying: "Think about it. I'm a doctor who just gained some fame and then went to be a product spokesperson for someone. Those media outlets and audiences must think I'm a scammer, out here making money by selling fake medicine."

  The national condition of Huaxia is like this. Many people's minds are narrow and pathetic to an extreme degree.

  It seems that in some people's eyes, those who write books are destined to starve to death. If you can't avoid starving like Cao Xueqin, then you're not a good writer and won't be able to produce good works. Those who engage in scientific research or medical research must also devote themselves wholeheartedly to their studies.

  Want to be a spokesperson and do advertisements? Wait for someone to throw stinky shoes at you.

  Qin Luo is a renowned Chinese medicine practitioner, whose career is currently in the rapid development stage. Moreover, due to his exposure as the successor of Taiyi divine needle, he is now the most popular figure in medical newspapers and magazines.

  Now, countless newspapers and magazines use his photo wearing a long gown as their cover.

  He can quietly conduct academic research or go to treat patients, or even compete with others in medical skills, but he just cannot be a spokesperson for advertisements.

  In the end, it is because China lacks a fair and open supervisory body. Celebrities dare to endorse any advertisement for money, and the public has been repeatedly deceived, losing confidence in the entire celebrity endorsement mechanism.

  Lijun City thought for a moment and also understood Qin Luo's consideration. As for this matter, she was also powerless. The public had lost confidence in celebrity endorsements, which was not something that one person could regain.

  "I understand." Lijun Cheng nodded and said. "I won't force you. If you really don't want to film, I can wait for another star's schedule or find a more suitable candidate. After finishing the Queen series today, we can go back."

  Li Jingcheng looked at Qin Luo seriously and said, "However, my personal advice to you is that you should stick to your own path. What others dare not do, you must do. What others don't believe in, you must make them believe. Currently, the public does not blindly follow celebrity endorsements, and there's even a certain degree of rejection. This is abnormal."

  "You should use your own actions, and the products you endorse to establish everyone's confidence. If these products are some garbage products, even if you don't refuse, I will help you promote them. But I have confidence in Jinwa Nourishing Cream and Nourishing Water. And I'm worried that the product might have side effects, so I've been using the sample product for a few days now. This is your own product, don't you have confidence?"

  "I naturally have confidence." Qin Luo smiled and nodded. If he didn't have confidence in the product, he wouldn't be willing to bring it out and agree to promote it on the market.

  In that case, his grandfather would have to break his leg.

  Besides, if he hadn't anticipated that this product would be a huge hit after its release, he wouldn't have signed such a harsh share division contract with Lian Qincheng.

  Is he such a stingy man? No.

  "Qin Luo, do you know why people like you?" asked Li Jian Cheng, looking at Qin Luo.

  "No way. Who would like me?" Qin Luo said with a blush. In his heart, he also felt that he was really too hypocritical.

  "You don't look handsome. You're not tall enough. Your figure isn't good either."

  "Hey, I don't agree with that. My height is not enough, and my figure isn't good either. But how can I not be handsome?"

  "You're not handsome. At least, you don't fit my aesthetic standards. You lack taste, maturity, a dashing mustache and deep eyes. Your skin is too pale, and sometimes you're not even strong enough. But do you know why so many women are willing to surround you?"

  "I don't know." Qin Luo said gloomily. Originally, someone's mood was good, but they had to be struck down to nothing. It's really hateful.

  "Because you are Qin Luo. The unique Qin Luo." Lian Qingcheng completely ignored Qin Luo's expression of discontent. "You're a very unconventional person with your own unique thoughts and behavioral habits. You're worldly but calculating. You're naive towards friends, but hypocritical towards enemies. You don't conform to people's fixed values and behaviors, and you've always been working to subvert what you think is unreasonable. Just like how everyone thinks that breakfast must be rice porridge, you come along with a bowl of noodles and say that eating noodles is fine too. This is different from those who try to stir up trouble, but rather it's a higher level of adaptability."

  Li Jingcheng looked at Qin Luo, who was staring blankly with a stunned expression, and smiled slyly: "This is where your charm lies. You dare to say what others don't dare to say, and you can do what others don't dare to do. Some people may dislike or even hate you, but more people will chase after and worship you like an idol. Isn't the behavior of those students proof of this?"

  "Why do so many people like you? Why are there always so many people attending your classes as auditors? In the past, it was usually students from the Chinese Medicine Department who went to the Western Medicine Department to attend classes, but since you arrived, students from the Western Medicine Department have been going to the Chinese Medicine Department to hear you lecture. This is something that was previously unimaginable. Why were your students able to bravely stand up and demand that the school reinstate you after you were fired by the department? It's not like there haven't been teachers who were fired before. Why didn't they receive the same treatment? Why are there more and more students wearing long gowns on campus now? There's even a trend of wearing long gowns on campus."

  "Later, as your reputation grows bigger and more people get to know you, the number of people following you will also increase. At that time, you will be an idol for everyone. Every word and action of yours will be noticed and imitated by others. What will you do at that time?"

  "In this era of lost faith, you don't need to follow the crowd, nor can you drift with the tide. You must bring them a healthy and positive value system, rather than letting them run around like a swarm of headless flies."

  "You just need to do your best and be yourself, being Qin Luo is enough," said Li Jiancheng.

  After she finished speaking for several minutes, Qin Luo was still staring at her with a dull expression. She couldn't help but touch her own face and ask: "Is there something wrong?"

  "You're a demon." Qin Luo said.

  To be honest, Lijun's words had a great impact on his heart.

  Before, he just knew what he needed to do and should do. However, he had never carefully thought about why he needed to do so.

  He knows what kind of person he is, but doesn't understand why he has to be that kind of person.

  Never had anyone, including himself, been able to analyze himself so thoroughly. Nor has anyone ever been able to see himself so clearly. He couldn't even do it himself.

  However, Lijun Chen succeeded.

  She sees not only your present but also your future. She tells you clearly what you are doing now and what you should do in the future.

  Such a woman is either a witch or a philosopher.

  Qin Luo didn't want to admit she was a philosopher either. Who made her say that she looked ugly?

  Lian Cheng's phoenix eyes blinked, she licked her tongue, and said with a flirtatious face: "Yes. I am a demon who eats people without spitting out bones. Are you afraid?"

  "Scared." Qin Luo's eyes widened. Come and devour me quickly, I won't resist too fiercely.

  Jinder brought over the camera and said, "The first set of photos is done. Once the assistant brings over the clothes, we can start shooting the next series. Do you guys have any good suggestions for a promotional name for the next series?"

  Lijin City looked at Qin Luo and smiled: "You can still regret it now."

  "Regret? What regret?" Jin Derui asked worriedly: "Didn't we agree to take a photo? Why aren't we taking one now?"

  "You've done such a great job with your ideological work, how can I possibly refuse?" Qin Luo said with a bitter smile.

  "Why don't we just call this series 'A Lifetime of Painting Eyebrows for You'?"

  "A lifetime of drawing eyebrows for you?" Jin Derui thought seriously about the name. Then, with a look of surprise, he said: "Not bad. Too wonderful. Too wonderful. Mr. Qin, you are a genius."

  "Not bad." Lian Qingcheng also nodded and said, "It's enough to make people's hearts move. Which woman can resist the temptation of a lover painting her eyebrows for life? No wonder you can harm so many good girls, it turns out that this fake innocent little man understands women's thoughts so well."

  "I was just casually saying it." Qin Luo said awkwardly.

  "It's easy to come up with a name like that. If you think about it seriously, it's not good enough. It seems I should keep my distance from you, lest one day I really fall for you. That way, this old woman won't have to compete with those young girls for men."
