As one of the innocent bystanders, Ren Xiaoxiao was introduced to Chelsea's latest color-changing lipstick by her roommate last week. The color is 035 and the price is not too expensive, only 199 yuan. But at that time she had just bought a figurine and had been living on poverty for almost a week. I was planning to place an order as soon as my living expenses for the new week came in, but when I went to the store recommended by my bestie, I found that all the other colors were available except 035, which was out of stock.
Ren Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it and searched around. She clicked on the store with the best number of payers and credibility to place an order, but... it was out of stock again. She is a stubborn person. Once she has set her eyes on something, she will do whatever it takes to get it as long as it is within her financial range. And this is the only color out of stock in this series, doesn’t it prove that this is the most popular?
Except for a few people, most people have a herd mentality - if everyone thinks this is good, it must be good. Such thoughts.
So Ren Xiaoxiao continued to change shops. One, two, three, four, five…
"Fuck, what are these meanings? It's not this kind of hot. Are you going to let me buy it or not?!" Ren Xiaoxiao was so angry that she threw the mouse away.
Her roommate was lying on the bed applying a facial mask. When she heard her words, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Ren Xiaoxiao turned around and replied, "The lipstick you recommended to me last week is out of stock!"
My roommate was very calm. "Chelsea's lipsticks have always sold well. If the store I recommended doesn't sell them, just try another one. Vivian Purchasing, Sunny Day Shop, Lip Love, these are all reliable."
Ren Xiaoxiao had a good memory. She remembered the names of the stores she had just visited. She had visited all the stores her roommate mentioned before. "No, no, no, they're all out of stock!"
“…Ah?” It took my roommate a few seconds to react. He was originally lying down, but suddenly he sat up. “Are you kidding me? Although this model sells well, it is not a hot-selling model. How could it be out of stock in every store?!” While speaking, he opened Taobao on his phone and searched, and it turned out to be true. She poked one of the customer service representatives to inquire about the situation.
-Boss, can you tell me what’s going on with your Chelsea 035 color? Why is it selling out so quickly?
The reply came quickly.
-Dear, it's like this, this color is the same as the one worn by celebrities, so it sells very well~
My roommate is typing very fast.
-Don’t tell me wrong, Chelsea’s latest color-changing lipstick has no endorsement!
-It's not an endorsement, it's the same style as the stars, you can search for Jingling Chelsea keywords~
After thanking the customer service, my roommate opened the browser and searched it, and the first option was the result she wanted. That was a post on the entertainment gossip section of the Nanzhou Forum.
Topic: The same color-changing lipstick as the one worn by the minors was almost sold out in just a few days. What’s the situation?
no.0 Lili: As the title says, is there anyone who would like to chat? I remember that not long ago, the electronic version of Zhucheng Daily sold nearly one million copies a day, and the website even crashed. At that time, some people said that it was inflated because the unit price was only 50 cents, which was cheap and there was no pressure to inflate it. Now it's Chelsea color-changing lipstick 035. The price is not cheap, nearly two hundred yuan. It can't be painted, right? And the same model is not worth painting, right?
no.1 Miaomiao: Eating watermelon in the front row!
no.2 In the voice and color: calling someone a derogatory name as soon as you open your mouth, and confirming that the OP is my derogatory one!
…
no.59 Baiyun Duoduo: I am neither a fan nor a hater, I am just a bystander. I would like to express my opinion that the purchasing power of Jing Ling’s fans is off the charts. However, I think the lipstick is out of stock this time not only because of the fans, but also because passers-by should have contributed to the sales. I was tempted to buy one myself. It arrived yesterday and I tried it and it works great.
no.60 Like pearls and jade: The idol is very hardworking and the fans are also very supportive. I envy them. I hope my family can be like this someday!
…
My roommate was also attracted by the product after watching it all, but not by the product, but by the people. "I want to give her a kiss!" She commented as she looked at the makeup photos she saw in the building. So the journey went from Taobao to the forum and then to Weibo, starting from the latest one and reading backwards.
Poor Ren Xiaoxiao trusted her so much that she waited and waited, only to see her become addicted to her phone and make suspicious noises from time to time. Ren Xiaoxiao was suspicious. She took off her shoes and stepped on the stool in front of the bed. She moved over to see what was going on. She happened to see her roommate flipping through the related stills of the online drama "Changle Song". A young man in white and green shirt was leaning under a peach tree. The brilliant flowers on the tree were not as charming as the beauty between his eyebrows.
Ren Xiaoxiao is in the domestic ACG circle, and her favorite is ancient style handsome boys. When she saw this picture, she was immediately touched, "Wow, so handsome! Is this a cosplayer? Please give me his name!"
My roommate was happily browsing the Internet when a voice suddenly rang in his ear. He was startled and dropped his phone onto the quilt because he didn't hold it firmly. After a pause, the roommate turned around and gave Ren Xiaoxiao a cold look, "You're going to give me a heart attack!"
Ren Xiaoxiao grinned, "I'm just too excited. You know I like this one the most. Tell me about it!"
"It's not cosplay, it's a still from the web drama 'The Song of Changle'. This is the male lead, Zhao Zizhen, played by Jing Ling." As the roommate spoke, he picked up the phone and poked the screen a few times, then showed it to Ren Xiaoxiao, "This is the latest still from the TV series 'River and River'. He's using Chelsea's color-changing lipstick in color 035, the same style as the stars, and it's sold out immediately."
Ren Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was, “What a handsome guy!” The name of the actor and the name of the character he played were written on the makeup photo. She immediately recognized the name Xie Changqing and the outfit as the first emperor in history. He is her destined handsome guy!
As an outspoken lover of looks, Ren Xiaoxiao was instantly attracted to the idol, so the situation became that the male god played the male god, and the makeup photos looked very attractive. The feeling is more than just sour and refreshing!
"No, I need to go downstairs and run a couple of laps to calm down!" Ren Xiaoxiao felt it was too unreal.
Her roommate rolled his eyes at her and said, "You can only run half a lap before you collapse. Don't overestimate yourself. Thank you!"
Ren Xiaoxiao: “… Break off the friendship!”
As a qualified agent, Shen Ze took on almost all the duties and was once exhausted. His teammate Jing Ling, who was on the same boat with him, would occasionally stir up waves on the boat to tease him. After finally stabilizing the boat and moving forward, and waiting for this disappointing teammate to win the Bauhinia Award for Best Supporting Actor and the leading role in "River and Mountain", Shen Ze felt that he could finally take a good rest.
So I booked a flight for a week-long trip to the island. I told Jing Ling everything before leaving, and then turned off my cell phone. Of course, it was only my work number, and my personal number was still on 24 hours a day. After all, in this modern society, if you really dare to turn off your phone for a week, you will probably be regarded as a missing person.
Chen Ze had beautiful thoughts, but the reality was not satisfactory at all.
In this circle, the so-called private number is only relative. When someone really wants to find you, sending the fastest flight to fly there is a piece of cake, let alone a number. When Jing Ling's same lipstick was sold out, Shen Ze's phone kept ringing. At that time, he was enjoying sunbathing on the beach and chatting happily with the girl next to him, but the phone kept ringing one after another and he didn't even finish a sentence. The girl was well-mannered. She nodded and smiled at him, and said, "You go ahead and do your work." This means goodbye.
Shen Ze: “…”
He really owed that little bastard Jing Ling in his previous life!
When he was angry, he missed two calls. When he calmed down and was about to call back, an acquaintance called him.
"Hello, Manager Gao!" He quickly answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Shen!" A woman's slightly low voice came from the other side.
Manager Gao is Qiao Wei's marketing manager, and he called to discuss advertising cooperation. Qiao Wei is a new cosmetics brand in China and a product of Baicaotang Group. Qiao Wei takes the high-end route, but in the current market environment, people are more willing to buy foreign brands at the same price, so it is currently relatively niche. The person at the helm is naturally not satisfied with this situation and has been trying to find ways to promote it, but the results are not very good.
Qiao Wei’s new product is ready to be launched and she is currently looking for endorsements. Nowadays, lipstick endorsements are all taken by female stars, and the female stars that companies are attracted to all have endorsements already. The front line couldn't find a suitable candidate, and they were unwilling to lower the standards. There were constant disputes within the company about finding an endorsement, and no conclusion was reached after several meetings.
It just so happened that the same product as Jing Ling became a hit and was sold out immediately, which provided the company with a new idea - if they couldn't find a suitable female star to endorse the product, then they could change their approach and look for a male star. There was a ready-made example, and it was the first of its kind, so the prospects looked promising.
So Qiao Wei's marketing manager approached Shen Ze.
Shen Ze: "...Okay, I'll go back now."
Isn’t this just another kind of pie in the sky? I didn't do anything, but the endorsement came to me. And compared with those previous manufacturers whose names no one had ever heard of and no one knew why they were unqualified, Bencaotang Group is still very well-known in China. Although Qiao Wei is a niche brand, she takes the high-end route. As her first endorsement, this starting point is already very good.
I had four days of fun during the one-week holiday, and I would have considered it a victory if I could finish half of it. Besides, who can resist money? You can earn as much as you can while you can, and play however you want when you are old.
So Shen Ze booked a flight for that afternoon, flew back from the island, rested for a night, and checked in with Jing Ling. If there were no problems, he would go to Qiao Wei's headquarters to discuss the advertising endorsement. It was agreed that everything would ultimately require his own decision, and the agent's opinion was only for reference, but Shen Ze had not forgotten this. Moreover, this was the first time that a male star endorsed lipstick, and Shen Ze was not sure whether Jing Ling would agree.
He called and briefly explained the situation. The other party replied casually, "No problem. Just make sure the quality is good."
