Chapter 447: Changing Spokesperson
When Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo heard this, they were stunned. They didn't even care about their injured arms and stared at Yang Qianhua.
They never expected that the big star in front of them, whom they regarded as an idol, would treat them like this.
For a moment, Lin Yuzhen felt extremely wronged, as if chasing stars had become some kind of unforgivable sin. At a certain moment, her favorability towards Yang Qianhua dropped directly to zero.
She raised her head and looked at Yang Qianhua with eyes full of stubbornness and grievance: "How could you do this? We are your fans. We came here just to talk to you. We didn't plan to do anything. Why do you treat us so harshly? Are you still unreasonable?"
However, Yang Qianhua had a condescending look on her face, crossed her arms, and said contemptuously: "You want to talk to me, so I have to talk to you? The book signing event is over, and you didn't come earlier. You are lazy and slow, so you can't blame others. I am a star! Of course I can do whatever I want. I have something urgent to do now, and I don't want to waste time here with you."
"That's what I'm saying, get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the road."
There were several fans of Yang Qianhua around, who also joined in.
"It's obviously your fault. Huahua has been signing books for quite a while and must be so tired. You guys don't understand her."
"You didn't come to the book signing event just now, and now you're running over here recklessly. Of course the bodyguards have to stop you. You can only blame yourselves."
“You deserve it.”
"The bodyguards didn't even touch you. You fell down on your own. Don't try to scam me."
"That's right, these low-quality fans don't even understand their idols. They're so selfish."
Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo were left speechless by the constant barrage of criticism from these fans.
At this moment, Lu Yiming, who had just finished his phone call, came over. Seeing this scene, his face suddenly turned black and he asked, "What's going on?"
Those fans didn’t know Lu Yiming, and when they saw someone coming to take charge, they immediately stood up for Yang Qianhua.
"These two people were blind and rushed around. I saw them knocking over people."
"Yes, the two of them ran in recklessly. Fortunately, they didn't bump into our Huahua."
Yang Qianhua thought that Lu Yiming was concerned about her safety, and she was immediately very happy. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lu Yiming walk to Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo, help them up, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Seeing this, Yang Qianhua's face showed an awkward expression. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue immediately. Then she changed her face, as if nothing had happened. She pretended to be apologetic and said, "Mr. Lu, this is all my fault. I brought too many people and blocked their way, causing them to fall."
After hearing what Yang Qianhua said, the fans behind her all showed angry expressions on their faces.
When they saw Lu Yiming in a suit and tie and his outstanding temperament, they thought he was a powerful young man. They immediately became angry and shouted to defend Yang Qianhua.
"Huahua, you did nothing wrong, why should you apologize?"
"It's obviously their own fault for not having eyes."
"Huahua, we support you. You don't have to be afraid of this kind of rich second generation. The public has sharp eyes."
Listening to these fans' words, Yang Qianhua was so anxious that she blurted out, "Mr. Lu, it's not like that. Listen to my explanation."
Lu Yiming looked at Lin Yuzhen and said calmly, "What's going on? Tell me."
Although she didn't know why Yang Qianhua was so afraid of Lu Yiming, Lin Yuzhen still felt very unhappy when she thought of what happened just now. She immediately said, "Didn't you call just now? Then we saw her coming down the elevator, so we wanted to take a photo with her and get her autograph or something. As a result, as soon as we walked over, her bodyguard pushed us down. He also said that we were good dogs and didn't block the road."
"Oh? Really?"
Lu Yiming looked at Yang Qianhua with unfriendly eyes, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth was meaningful.
Ding Zigao, who was beside Yang Qianhua, immediately thought that something was wrong and hurried forward to resolve the matter: "Boss Lu, these are all misunderstandings! These bodyguards are blind, we will fire them when we return! Of course, as an employer, Miss Yang should take responsibility. In this way, we will compensate each of them 10,000 yuan for medicine and mental damages. What do you think?"
Anyone who is not a fool can tell that Lu Yiming and the two little girls in front of him are acquaintances.
Ordinary people without power don’t need to care. Even reporters are too lazy to report such trivial matters, and it won’t have any impact on the star’s career.
But Lu Yiming is different!
For such a business tycoon, it would only take a word to ban Yang Qianhua.
So Ding Zigao panicked all of a sudden, and he wanted to shut Yang Qianhua's stinky mouth. Then he quickly said to Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo with a flattering face, "Two beauties, we will give you signed versions of all the albums and posters of Miss Yang since her debut. I am Miss Yang's agent. I will personally arrange for you to take a photo together, okay?"
However, Lin Yuzhen was not a die-hard fan. She had just seen Yang Qianhua's true face and had already stopped being a fan. Now when she heard Ding Zigao say this, she just felt it was hypocritical. Although 10,000 yuan was indeed a lot, Lin Yuzhen did not choose to reconcile. She said coldly: "I don't care. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money. Zhiruo, let's go."
Lin Yuzhen dragged Gu Zhiruo away. When Lu Yiming saw them, he quickly chased after them and said, "Hey, wait for me."
After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned around, and said coldly to Yang Qianhua: "I'm sorry, I now feel that you are not suitable to be the product spokesperson for our Mingyuan Technology."
Other celebrities like to act like big shots, and Lu Yiming has no control over that, but he would never allow such a person to endorse his own products.
This kind of star who lacks even the most basic emotional self-control ability is basically a bomb that can explode at any time. Who knows when it will cause a big mess. Lu Yiming has seen too many cases of being cheated out of his pants by companies and spokespersons on the Internet in the future.
When Yang Qianhua heard what Lu Yiming said, she felt her hands and feet go cold. She wanted to say something, but Lu Yiming and the others had already walked away.
Ding Zigao looked at Yang Qianhua with a look of disappointment and sighed, "You, you..."
Ever since he got off the plane, Ding Zigao has been talking to Yang Qianhua about this matter, asking her not to act like a big shot and not to look down on others. During this period of time, with him watching over her, there really weren't any major problems. I didn't expect that after the last book signing, such a big mess would be caused.
Originally, if this incident had not happened, the book signing event would have been a complete success, and she would have unexpectedly won the favor of Lu Yiming, becoming the brand spokesperson for the most popular software Qianqian Jingting, and quickly entering the mainland market.
I didn't expect that after all the precautions, something went wrong at the final moment.
Yang Qianhua also knew that this matter might not be so easily resolved. Thinking that she would not be able to get the sky-high endorsement fee and would not be able to continue to contact Lu Yiming, she felt very confused.
"So what do we do now?"
"Cold!"
On the other side, Lu Yiming caught up with Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo.
"Are you two really okay?"
Lin Yuzhen curled her lips and said, "It's okay."
Since Lin Yuzhen said so, Lu Yiming did not force her to go for a check-up or anything. After all, it was just a push, and if she didn't hit her head, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Okay, I'll take you back then."
Gu Zhiruo asked, "Didn't you just say you were here to pick someone up?"
Lu Yiming said: "Not now."
Lin Yuzhen recalled the last words Lu Yiming had said, and suddenly, as if she had discovered some great secret, she said, "The person you are going to pick up is not that Yang Qianhua, right?"
Lu Yiming admitted openly, "Yes, I wanted to ask her to shoot a commercial before, but now I have changed my mind."
Lin Yuzhen pursed her lips and whispered, "If it's for me, then it's not necessary."
Lu Yiming blurted out: "You think too much."
When Lin Yuzhen heard this, she immediately became unhappy: "Hey, you..."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Well, I'm not doing this just to vent your anger. It's mainly because of her personality that she's not suitable to be a product spokesperson. Otherwise, if something goes wrong one day, I'll suffer a huge loss."
After hearing this, both Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo felt that it made sense.
As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived next to Lu Yiming's Audi. He opened the door himself and said, "Get in."
Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo got on the back seat, Lu Yiming got on the passenger seat, and then said to Zhao Tiezhu, "Drive."
Sitting in the car, Lin Yuzhen was very silent. She liked Yang Qianhua before because she sang well, had a cheerful and optimistic personality, and especially when she smiled, it was very contagious. She looked radiant and lived a wonderful life, like a proud white swan.
She longed for such a future from the bottom of her heart.
But after meeting Yang Qianhua in person today, I was greatly disappointed. How could I have become a fan of such an idol? It's ridiculous.
"Hey, Lu Yiming, do you think all those celebrities are so hypocritical?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Not entirely. There are certainly stars who like to act like big shots, but there are also many stars who do good things without leaving their names. After all, stars are also human beings, so naturally there are good and bad ones."
Gu Zhiruo asked, "By the way, what did you just say about spokespersons and commercials? What are they for? Is your company looking for a spokesperson?"
Lu Yiming sighed and said, "Yes, I plan to find a spokesperson for Qianqian Jingting software. I originally wanted to find Yang Qianhua and even called her to discuss things with her. I didn't expect her to be such a person, so I changed my mind and decided not to look for her."
Lin Yuzhen complained: "Your MP3 player is too expensive. It looks good, but it costs thousands of yuan . Who can afford it?"
Lu Yiming defended himself by saying, "The technology content of Tianyin MP3 is very high, okay? And the production cost is there, what can I do?"
Although the overall profit margin is very high, the truth cannot be told. After all, without his guidance and help, the R&D cost of developing a highly integrated product would be absolutely terrifyingly high. The "trial and error" of developing various functions alone would be enough to drive one crazy.
Of course, Lin Yuzhen habitually expressed doubts about Lu Yiming's explanation: "Humph, no one would believe you, you must have made a lot of money. Besides, no matter what you say, it's expensive, this is its biggest disadvantage!"
Lu Yiming snorted and said, "Being expensive is its shortcoming? That's obviously your shortcoming!"
"Hey! You guy!"
Lin Yuzhen was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves on the spot.
She didn't know why every time she saw Lu Yiming, she wanted to say something to him. She felt that this guy deserved a beating no matter how she looked at him.
Gu Zhiruo suddenly said, "Oh, no, I forgot to buy the single."
"Smoke mom?"
When he suddenly heard the name, Lu Yiming was a little confused.
After all, the name is too unique.
Lin Yuzhen curled her lips and said, "Christina Aguilera, because of the abbreviation of her English name CA, her fans call her 'Cha Ma'."
"she?"
Lu Yiming suddenly remembered, isn't this girl the spokesperson for Qian Qian Jingting's beautiful American market?
Good job.
Didn't this girl just release a few songs? She actually has fans from Xiaguo?
And the fans are right next to me?
It's quite off the mark.
"Isn't Yang Qianhua your idol?"
Lin Yuzhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who said that fans can only have one idol?"
"Oh my god, are you so fickle?"
"Humph, I like it, what's it to you!"
Lu Yiming tilted his lips and sighed, "Alas, I was thinking of getting you this autographed photo of your mother, but you were so mean to me."
Lin Yuzhen was stunned: "You actually know my mother?"
Gu Zhiruo also found it incredible: "She only uploaded a few demos of her own songs on Qianqian Jingting. There is only one official song. She has only recently become popular on Qianqian Jingting. This star is already unpopular enough. I didn't expect you actually know her?"
"Tsk, how rare!"
Lu Yiming directly told the whole story in the United States: "To tell you the truth, she is our company's brand spokesperson in the United States market. Do you think I don't know her?"
“Ah, this…”
"Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
Both Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo felt incredible.
They are fans of a foreign female star who has only released one song, and she is actually the brand spokesperson for Lu Yiming's company?
For a moment, neither of them knew whether this was a coincidence or fate.
Lin Yuzhen's expression suddenly changed, and she said to Lu Yiming in a low voice: "Lu Yiming, can you help me get a signed poster? I want to put it in my bedroom."
Gu Zhiruo teased, "Why? You're bowing your head so quickly? This isn't like your style."
Lin Yuzhen snorted and said, "You don't understand this, do you? I'll just pretend to be obedient and numb him first, and then I'll scold him back after I get the autographed poster, right?"
Lu Yiming said with a dark face: "Hey, I heard everything!"
“A little bit.”
Facing Lin Yuzhen, Lu Yiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "I'll call her later and ask her to take a batch of posters, sign them and mail them to you."
“Yeah!”
"You still have some conscience!"
Lin Yuzhen felt much better and asked, "By the way, your spokesperson, you just said you changed your mind. If you don't look for Yang Qianhua, who are you going to look for?"
Lu Yiming said: "I haven't thought about it yet, how about you recommend a few?"
Lin Yuzhen said: "The most famous ones are the Four Heavenly Kings, why don't you just find one?"
When it comes to the stars of this era, Lu Yiming's first reaction is naturally the Four Heavenly Kings, but the Hong Kong stars like King Liu are all old, and the product spokesperson he needs is more inclined to be a young, energetic and vibrant new generation. After all, MP3 has just been born and is a very "young" product, and its users are all young people.
"No, they are old. I want younger ones."
"Younger ones ... Rosamund Kwan? Li Jiaxin? International star Zhang? Fan Shuishui?"
Lin Yuzhen said several names in one breath.
Lu Yiming is also not optimistic about these new generation of Hong Kong stars. The most famous ones all ended up in trouble, such as a certain Mr. Chen who likes taking photos, and those female stars who like to be photographed by Mr. Chen. It’s scary to think about it.
Finding this kind of person as a spokesperson probably means you think you are not dying fast enough.
“Neither will these.”
Lin Yuzhen was a little angry: "This is not okay, and that is not okay. Are you looking for a spokesperson or an alien?"
Lu Yiming looked at Lin Yuzhen, and suddenly he had an epiphany.
Lin Yuzhen, wearing a school uniform, is youthful and energetic. Her face and figure are both first-class. Coupled with her pure temperament, isn't she a perfect high-quality spokesperson? And based on Lu Yiming's understanding of Lin Yuzhen, the probability of this girl turning over in the future is not high.
OK!
Seeing Lu Yiming suddenly looking at her without saying anything, Lin Yuzhen glared at him and said unhappily, "What are you looking at?"
Lu Yiming said: "I think you are very suitable."
"Ah? Me?"
Lin Yuzhen said with a look of horror: "You don't want me to be your image spokesperson for something, do you?"
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? No way? You are the school announcer, you have a nice voice, a good image and temperament, and most importantly, you are young, which happens to be highly consistent with the target user group of MP3. You are simply the perfect candidate."
Even Lu Yiming had already started to imagine it in his mind - Lin Yuzhen wearing a school uniform, holding a Tianyin MP3 in her hand, wearing headphones and listening to Jay Chou's "The Rooftop" and "You Are Happier Than Before". Just thinking about this picture was so beautiful.
Although young people are not the main earners, they are the main consumers.
Besides, if they can't afford Tianyin MP3, Qianqian Jingting is free. When the time comes, let Lin Yuzhen endorse both. Those who have money will buy Tianyin MP3, and those who don't will just use the millions of songs in Qianqian Jingting for free. When they have money, they will still buy Tianyin MP3 - isn't this perfect?
The more Lu Yiming looked at it, the more he thought it was a good idea. He immediately decided, "Very good, I've decided. You will be the spokesperson for Qianqian Jingting and Tianyin MP3!"
