The young man with peach blossom eyes just smiled. He leaned against the chest of the young master of the Lan family, and said nothing.
A person next to him said: “It’s better not to do plastic surgery. Young Master He has suffered twice. He won’t fall for a third time.”
“Who knows.” The young master of the Lan family smiled, “I’m still curious. What kind of magic power does Qin Zhou’s face have?”
“Isn’t it because he looks the same as YanYan? Who doesn’t know that he is a substitute…”
At the table, several young masters quickly changed other topics and did not mention Qin Zhou again.
The young man with peach blossom eyes was still obediently sitting on the lap of the young master of the Lan family, lowering his eyes slightly, and he seemed lost in thought.
By the time the party was over, it was already very late.
The peach-blossom-eyed young man followed the young master of the Lan family back to the villa.
“Dear.” The young man put his arms around the shoulders of the young master of the Lan family and whispered, “Am I that similar to Qin Zhou?”
“Don’t you know yourself clearly whether you are similar to him or not?” The young master of the Lan family chuckled and said lazily. “But you are younger than him.”
And, Qin Zhou looked a bit old, but Gu YiFeng was still very young, only nineteen years old.
“Qin Zhou is getting older, and I guess Young Master He is tired of it too.” The young master of the Lan family glanced at the young man casually, and sighed: “If you straighten your nose, you will look just like him.”
It was just a casual comment for the young master of the Lan family.
But Gu YiFeng took it seriously
***
Time flied quickly.
In late March, Qin Zhou cooperated with the perfume brand to complete the promotion of new product and waited for the new product to be released.
The new product’s release date was April 1st, and many fans had set their alarm clocks to grab the perfume.
The new product series was a bit expensive, and Qin Zhou didn’t expect much sales, as long as the results were not particularly terrible.
However, just before the launch of new perfume products, there was a sudden situation.
“Qin Zhou.” The manager came over and asked directly: “Do you and Gu YiFeng have any disputes?”
Qin Zhou was stunned and asked: “What’s wrong?”
“The release of the product he endorsed was on the same day as yours.” The manager handed over the phone.
Qin Zhou took it and took a look and saw the new product endorsed by Gu YiFeng.
This time Gu YiFeng also accepted the perfume endorsement, and it happened to be from the rival brand of the brand he was endorsing.
In addition, the release date of the new product Gu YiFeng endorsed was also April 1st, the same day as him.
“I asked, and it was him who asked the brand to change the date.” The manager frowned, “Originally, this new product of his would not be officially announced until next month, but it is suddenly released ahead of time.”
Now both new products of the two brands were released on the same day. And the product on Gu YiFeng’s side was cheaper, so Qinzhou’s side would definitely be affected.
Qin Zhou looked at the phone for a long time, and then said, “It’s been officially announced, there’s nothing we can do.”
The brand had invested a lot of money in promoting this new product, and it’s too late to change the time.

The manager sighed softly: “I told everyone around me to help you increase sales volume on April 1st.”
Qin Zhou’s mentality was relatively calm and he comforted the manager: “Let nature take its course.”
However, Qin Zhou was still afraid that the sales would be too bad, so he planned to stock up on this new product after it was released.
So, on April 1st, Qin Zhou got up and went out, preparing to buy perfume at a sales counter.
When Qin Zhou came to the sales counter at the shopping mall, he was told that it was out of stock.
Qin Zhou was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he had already changed to another counter.
But in the end, Qin Zhou visited all the sales counters in Nancheng and couldn’t buy a bottle. They all said that it was sold out and had to wait for the headquarters to deliver the goods.
Qin Zhou felt still a little strange, wondering if there was some inside story, such as deliberate hunger marketing by the brand side.
Qin Zhou came to the company, found his manager, and said, “Brother Fan, what happened to my perfume? I went to the sales counters here and didn’t even get to buy a bottle. Is this holding inventory?”
The manager sat in front of the computer and said without raising his head, “I was just about to tell you this. The first batch of goods has been sold out.”
“Sold out?” Qin Zhou was surprised and walked next to the manager and looked at the screen.
However, Qin Zhou didn’t know much about data and asked, “This quickly? It’s only one morning.”
“Yes, it is all sold out in Nancheng.” The manager looked very happy, “Several surrounding cities are also sold out. Your fans have too strong purchasing power!”
Qin Zhou couldn’t help but take out his phone and click on Weibo to search for keywords.
【I beg you to buy one for me! The coordinate is Nancheng! It was already gone when I went there in the morning! 】
【I am also from Nancheng! It’s too awful. I was unlucky. I can’t even buy a bottle! I really envy those of you from other provinces! 】
【Which rich woman is this! Directly cover all the sales counters in Nancheng! It’s awesome. Really awesome! 】
Many fans on Weibo were discussing the sold-out issue in Nancheng. Qin Zhou was also surprised because after searching around, only Nancheng and nearby cities were sold out. Counters in other provinces were still normal, at least in other provinces, one could still buy goods on the first day.
Qin Zhou even wondered if Jiang Lin had bought and emptied all the sales counters. After all, among his fans, Jiang Lin was the richest.
***
The feedback of Full Moon had been very good, with sales higher than expected.
The sales counters in Nancheng also quickly replenished their supplies, and Qin Zhou also went over and bought several bottles, planning to stock up them.
The color of “Full Moon” was transparent with a little light gold, and the fragrance was a light cold fragrance.
Qin Zhou quite liked the fragrance of Full Moon, and he habitually used Full Moon every day when he goes out.
On the table, the liquid in the perfume bottle became less and less until it was empty.
Just when Qin Zhou had finished two bottles of Full Moon, “LiYuan” was released.
***
When “LiYuan” was released, Qin Zhou and Jiang Lin went to the cinema together.
The storyline of the movie was also very simple. It was from the perspective of an opera singer, and how he witnessed the troupe’s gradual decline from glory to failure.
At the most glorious moment, the audience was full and the cheers continued. Even the warlord was fascinated and pursued the opera singer.
When it was the lowest point of his life, the opera singer huddled in a desolate room wearing thin clothes. He was at his last gasp and could not sing any more.
In the final moment, the opera singer heard the news that the warlord had died on the battlefield. Unable to accept it, the opera singer wore his opera costumes and hanged himself.
Qin Zhou leaned back in his chair and looked at the movie on the big screen, feeling nothing.
Maybe it was because he already knew the plot and it was his own acting, so it always felt weird when he watched it.
On the other hand, Jiang Lin was very emotionally invested. Even after the movie ended, he still pulled Qin Zhou and kept asking.
“Brother Zhou, why didn’t you agree? If you had agreed earlier, the ending would definitely not be like this!” Jiang Lin was still unhappy with the ending of the opera singer and the warlord.
“There are differences in status.” Qin Zhou smiled.
‘There are differences in status.’ This was what he said most in the movie.
“But you obviously like him too, so why can’t you two be together?”
“Even if he really agreed, they may not be able to make it to the end.” Qin Zhou explained slowly, “It’s better to separate and live each other’s lives to leave a good impression.”
However, Jiang Lin still shook his head, took out his phone, and went to search for movie reviews on Weibo.
Fortunately, there were still many people on Weibo who were as dissatisfied with the ending as Jiang Lin.
【#LiYuan#Why! Why! I really hoped they were together! I can’t wait to press their heads and let them kiss! 】
【#LiYuan# Oh my god! I found that Qin Zhou and Lin ChiXiao always play this kind of BE ending! It was too much that I’m going crazy with that! I was hurt once last time when they played ‘Troubled Times’, and now they’re hurting me again! 】
Today was the first day of release, and the reviews on Weibo were also very good.
Jiang Lin hurriedly said: “Brother Zhou, your show is definitely going to be a hit!”
Qin Zhou put on his hat and smiled: “Let nature take its course.”
Jiang Lin walked by his side and said: “Brother Zhou, you have to have some motivation.”
Qin Zhou replied: “This theme is relatively unpopular, and the box office may not be as good as you think.”
The theme of the Chinese Republic era itself was relatively unpopular, and it was also an opera theme.
Jiang Lin: “What if you win any awards?”
Qin Zhou still said: “Let’s go with the flow.”
He didn’t care about the box office or winning awards.
He didn’t know why, but he felt more and more calm now.
There was no purpose in life and no motivation.
***
The final box office performance of “LiYuan” was quite satisfactory, but it had a good reputation and was somewhat popular.
Audiences could not let go of the story of the opera singer and the general, and there were many fanfics on Weibo.
In the second half of the year, “LiYuan” was shortlisted for the Golden Crow Film Festival.
“LiYuan” received several nominations at once, and even Qin Zhou was nominated for Best Actor.
After the manager learned the news, the smile never left his face and he quickly prepared a manuscript for Qin Zhou.
Qin Zhou saw it from the side and couldn’t help but say: “Brother Fan, I haven’t won the award yet, so there’s no need to prepare it so early.”
“I have to prepare it for you early. This is your first time being nominated.”
Qin Zhou smiled and said nothing.
He used to think that winning an award was far away from him, but he didn’t expect it to be so close now.
It’s not like he hadn’t won awards before, but those awards were not that worth mentioning and the quality was not on the same level.
The Golden Crow Film Festival was currently the most authoritative awards program in China, and it had real value and importance.
He was also lucky this year. There were no blockbusters or dark horses among the movies released at the same time, so the competitiveness was relatively low.
The manager also started to prepare the suit, hoping that Qin Zhou would make a brilliant appearance.
On the day of the award ceremony, the manager sent Qin Zhou there. He did not forget to remind him along the way: “Whether you win an award or not, you must pay attention to the expression on your face, especially when you don’t win!”
“Yeah.” Qin Zhou nodded.
“There are a lot of big shots coming this time. If you can get into conversation with them, try your best to talk to them.”
“Okay.” Qin Zhou replied.
Not long after, the car stopped outside.
Qin Zhou got out of the car and walked towards the party venue.
A lot of media came to the scene this time, and the camera flashes never stopped.
Qin Zhou stood in front of the camera with a formal smile on his face.
When he arrived at the venue, Qin Zhou relaxed a little.
Qin Zhou walked towards his seat. When he looked up inadvertently, his eyes fell on the first row of seats and noticed a certain figure.
In the aisle of the first row, He Yang and Yuan Lie were standing together, and they were still talking.
Qin Zhou looked at that figure and suddenly realized that he and He Yang hadn’t seen each other for more than half a year.
Not seeing each other for half a year felt like several years had passed. Like they had become total strangers.
Qin Zhou looked away and sat in his seat.
At the same time, the man in the first row of the aisle seemed to notice something. He turned around and looked towards the back row.
There were many people at the party. He Yang took a casual glance and found nothing, so he stopped paying attention.
