The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 459

On the day Qiao Sixiao finished shooting, Qin Wei of course still did not know her grades and was tangled in repeated anxiety.

Little Qiao told her not to think about it anymore. One was busy with work and the other was busy with exams, and they had not seen each other for several days. The next morning, after Qiao Sixiao finished shooting a commercial, she sent Qin Wei a message asking if she wanted to go out for a meal together.

Qin Wei could only ask Li Yao first about her work arrangements.

Li Yao soon replied that she had to shoot a commercial for Brand D's new season in the afternoon, and she also had a piece of good news to tell her. Before this, she was only the ambassador for Brand D's ready-to-wear line. After working together for several seasons and looking good in terms of word of mouth, traffic, and sales volume, the brand formally invited her to become the global endorser of Brand D's entire ready-to-wear line.

She also had to go to the live streaming room at night, which was to coordinate with the promotion of this good news.

[Li Yao: Congratulations to my little ancestor on returning to the first-tier o(≧v≦)o!]

[Qin Wei: Do I have time to go out for lunch?]

[Li Yao: Eat whatever you want and I will buy it for you ??(ˊωˋ*)?? Congratulations to little ancestor on returning to first-tier]

[Qin Wei: I want to go out for lunch]

...

But it didn't work out.

No time.

Qin Wei painfully rejected her roommate's lunch invitation.

It wasn't because her roommate had invited her to a Japanese restaurant with an average spend of 4,000+ RMB per person that only accepted reservations from regulars and had long waiting lists. She was just heartbroken that she couldn't go out to eat with her roommate.

...

She went straight to the brand's office without even eating lunch, spending time in meetings and taking pictures. Lunch was delivered during a break.

It was a bento box from Heimu Japanese Cuisine, containing eel, wagyu beef, salmon, scallops and more.

The exquisitely packaged bento box also came with a small card —

[Eat on time]

Signed with her roommate's name.

Qin Wei took out her phone to take a selfie with the delivery and sent it to her roommate. Her roommate didn't reply, clearly also busy.

She used to be very busy with work too, so busy the whole day she didn't have time to drink water, eating only some bread or salad.

Now she was still very busy, but having someone care felt really good.

...

After shooting the commercial in the evening, she went to the live streaming room of a popular influencer host to do promotion.

Brand D attached great importance to officially announcing their endorsers this time, so they specially selected a batch of limited editions from the new season's clothing line to use for promotion, continuing the public welfare activity from the first half of the year. This batch of limited editions was designed by internationally renowned designers, and the proceeds from the sales would still be fully donated to charity projects.

And that was why little Qin, who usually rejected livestream marketing, agreed to appear after making sure there would be no strange behaviors multiple times.

"Sis, what strange behaviors?"

On the way there, little Li asked Qin Wei.

Qin Wei had shown her a video of the shouting and screaming type of product selling methods in certain live streaming rooms.

"But the host who invited you this time is top host Little Li. He doesn't do marketing that way in his room. He'll just say 'Buy it'..."

Little Li's eyes shone as she rambled on, saying that her good friend Tang Yi also liked to shop in his room.

Qin Wei asked her:

"So who is Tang Yi?"

...

The streaming room was huge. The host was very polite. The whole stream felt like a chat, light and relaxing. The host would ask Qin Wei some gentle questions, mainly about the brand. The pace was quick but not rushed, and soon he moved on to introducing the product. There were only 3,000 limited edition hoodies, but the price was not low due to the brand and designer.

But neither the brand side nor little Qin were counting on selling out, because the purpose of coming to the streaming room was still mainly publicity.

"3! 2! 1! Listed...sold out."

The host looked over and got up to shake Qin Wei's hand.

"Our livestreaming mission is accomplished."

Little Qin: "?"

Little Qin asked the host,

"So next time, could you help sell local agricultural and sideline products? I just don't know if the endorsement fees would be expensive."

The host nodded,

"Of course, we've always been doing that. Welcome Teacher Qin to join. Endorsements are free for public welfare products, but Teacher Qin would need to come herself."

Qin Wei was pleasantly surprised to hear that, since selling out so quickly demonstrated strong purchasing power.

"Then contact my agent in advance next time when there is something. I think I can make it. You're so capable that working with you can help more people in need."

The host smiled,

"It's not that I'm capable, but because the product quality is superb. Also, our streaming room fans are loving and socially responsible. I'm just providing a platform for them here."

No wonder he was so good at selling things. He carefully selected products and said nice things to make fans happily spend money.

Not like Qin Wei, who either ignored fans or restricted them from buying things, leaving fans clutching money and passion but not knowing where to spend it, only able to buy matching outfits and endorsements while blankly staring at her.

The host pointed to the camera,

"Many fans must be watching you now! Say something to them!"

"I heard your fans are very obedient. Last time you told them to work hard and live properly, so they kept working hard. And there's been some 'Little Wei style' - they've achieved good results in their own fields. So what do you want to say to them this time?"

Qin Wei corrected him:

"It's not that they're obedient, but that we have similar aspirations and are moving forward together...

What to say...

Then I won't talk about working hard this time. Care more about yourselves too. I hope you bravely be yourselves. I hope you don't abandon what you're passionate about. Life is short, being yourself is hard, seize the present and don't settle. "

Danmu ——

[Maintain passion! Work hard together!]

[You're still telling us to work hard...]

[Pfft, still the classroom representative, just a hot-blooded silly girl. Why even follow her, if not for this silly nerdy style of hers...]

...

The livestream lasted until almost dawn, but Qin Wei didn't have to stay for it all. She only stayed in the room for half an hour before leaving with a bunch of snacks gifted by the host.

After that, she went straight to the filming location overnight without even going home, to shoot scenes she hadn't finished.

Gong Lan had already wrapped up filming, but Zhao Yu's story was not over yet. Due to some of the cast's scheduling conflicts previously, Zhao Yu, Gong Lan and the others' individual scenes were left to film last.

Early next morning, Qin Wei came to set. Today's makeup and costume were very different from her later appearance with Su Yang, with head flowers, plain cloth skirt costume, looking simple but gentle.

Seeing Shen Kai there was no surprise though. The reason was simple. He had worked with Director Yuan before and came this time for a cameo.

Shen Kai was talking to the producer and stopped when he saw Qin Wei come over.

Shen Kai cleared his throat and visibly reddened as he said to her,

"Very nice to work with you again. If there's anything you need, please let me know and I'll do my best."

Qin Wei nodded, "Okay, everything else is good, just... keep your distance from me? I don't want to be photographed in the same frame."

Shen Kai: "..."
