After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

The party didn't end until the early hours of the morning. After Lu Qingfeng got home and washed up, it was almost one o'clock.

I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. My body was exhausted, but my mind was unusually active, with all sorts of thoughts popping into my head. One moment I was thinking about the now-finished "Sounds Enter the Ear," the next I was thinking about writing, and then I was thinking about painting techniques.

Aimless, not even knowing what I'm thinking.

I tried to calm myself down for ten minutes, but still couldn't fall asleep, so I got up, turned on the light, and went to the balcony.

He placed a rocking chair and a coffee table here. The night breeze was blowing, and in the distance, neon lights intertwined, creating a dazzling display. Occasionally, a car would drive by below.

This environment automatically triggered his emotional thinking, and Lu Qingfeng felt inexplicably melancholy.

I picked up my phone and wanted to write something to post on WeChat Moments.

But reason prevailed over the thought; he knew that if he woke up the next day and saw the things he had washed, he would scratch his toes on the ground.

Instead of wasting time on that, you should think more about your upcoming work arrangements.

With the regular variety show ending, there will be two free days each week to use for other things, which is a good thing, but it also means losing a regular channel for exposure.

Lu Qingfeng has always positioned himself as a high-quality idol, rather than a pure artist.

There are many excellent musicians and writers in China, but only a few are well-known. This is partly due to the issue of audience reach, and partly because there is a certain threshold for appreciation.

The simpler and more straightforward a work of art is, the more efficient it is in its dissemination. This can be seen in film and television dramas. With the rise of short videos, two-hour movies have been condensed into ten-minute or even a few-minute narration, or interesting clips.

Television dramas fared even worse; the rise of short dramas dealt a heavy blow to the industry.

Short, concise, and fast-paced, directly addressing pain points and satisfying immediate emotional needs.

However, this does not mean that the public does not have higher aesthetic demands. In this chaotic situation where everyone is doing poorly, excellent works will become more sought after.

There will definitely be some creators who put their heart into making high-quality works.

This is a process of natural selection.

Having sorted out his thoughts, Lu Qingfeng had a clearer plan for his future path: to continue producing excellent content and constantly expand the boundaries of writing and music, while also avoiding being too sophisticated for the general public.

Therefore, it's important to collaborate more with the entertainment industry and leverage its convenience for self-promotion. Going forward, it's also necessary to participate in some variety shows to solidify domestic popularity.

Then, we can also try to reach out to the world outside of Asia.

This exchange activity between China and foreign countries is a great opportunity.

Having sorted out his thoughts and feeling much better, Lu Qingfeng got up and did some chest-expanding exercises before going back to his room to sleep.

This time he didn't have insomnia again, and fell asleep in about ten minutes.

The next day, he slept in late, staying in bed until after 10 a.m. Zhu Zhichang knew that he had dinner with the program crew last night, so he deliberately did not arrange any activities for him today.

During the May Day holiday, Liu Xin either went home or did part-time work, so she couldn't find anyone to hang out with.

He thought about it and checked online for recently released movies.

May Day is not a popular time for movies to be released because it is close to summer vacation. Movies that want to boost their box office have all scheduled for the summer season. There are only three new movies being released: a classic Hong Kong police and gangster film, a spy film, and a disaster film. The rest are older movies that have been released for a long time.

Lu Qingfeng chose one of the best-reviewed movies and went to a nearby shopping mall alone.

We had lunch here, and since it was still early before the movie started, we strolled around the mall.

The holiday was crowded, and he casually strolled around wearing sunglasses and a hat. He even saw posters of several brands he endorses hanging outside their stores, especially the sports brand Aofei Sports.

Since signing a major endorsement contract with Lu Qingfeng last year, the company has developed a brand new product line with a focus on sunny, positive, and artistic styles, targeting street fashion and achieving great success.

Shedding its past image of mediocre design and purely sporty branding, it has begun to develop in a more diversified direction.

This is undoubtedly thanks in no small part to Lu Qingfeng, the spokesperson.

If you follow the usual marketing methods and try to change the public's perception of the brand, it will take a long time. But as long as Lu Qingfeng stands there wearing Aofei Sports shoes and apparel, people will imagine that these clothes are so special.

This is the role of a spokesperson.

Lu Qingfeng stood in front of the Aofei Sports store and saw a large poster showing him wearing the series of shoes and apparel, striding forward.

Handsome!

He was secretly pleased with himself.

Two girls carrying bags came out. Perhaps because he was standing there and was somewhat conspicuous, they subconsciously looked over. Then one of them whispered a few words to the other, and their eyes kept drifting over.

Lu Qingfeng quickly lowered his head and walked towards the elevator; the movie was about to start.

Upon entering the cinema, he found it to be fairly well-occupied, about half full. After sitting down, he overheard a couple behind him discussing something. Judging from their tone, the boy didn't want to come; his girlfriend had dragged him there.

Because one of the actresses in this movie is a fan of the girl.

Lin Lichen is the top celebrity who is called the ceiling of looks in the Chinese entertainment industry by fans and recently gained some attention for his jewelry endorsement.

"Didn't you see the online reviews? Everyone says this movie is really good."

"Hmm."

The couple behind them, the girl was promoting it, while the boy was just giving a perfunctory response.

This aligns with Lu Qingfeng's impression of his fan base.

Most of the fans are women, not many men, including his fan base, but he is much more popular with the general public.

The movie started soon, and he stopped thinking about it and focused on the big screen.

This is a spy thriller that revolves around underground intelligence agents. It's not as action-packed as a frontal battlefield, but every confrontation involves the actions of both sides.

The movie's plot is actually quite good. Lin Lichen plays the second male lead, while the male lead is a very talented actor.

This is also the composition of many movies: established actors are responsible for the quality of the movie, and then a top star is responsible for boosting the box office.

Lu Qingfeng thought it was alright after watching the whole thing. Without prejudice, he felt that Lin Lichen overacted in a few parts of the movie, and his facial expressions were not coordinated. Otherwise, it was just so-so.

It's alright, considering this top star isn't a professionally trained actor, nor is he a natural-born actor.

After watching the movie, Lu Qingfeng followed the crowd out of the theater, intending to go to the restroom.

"what!"

When I came out after washing my hands, I ran into someone dressed similarly to me, wearing a hat and sunglasses, who looked somewhat familiar.

The man was also taken aback, as if he also felt that the man looked somewhat familiar.

As they passed each other, the feeling grew stronger. After walking for a while, he saw movie posters on both sides of the passage and finally remembered who this person was.

That's interesting. Did they come here specifically to check on the attendance of their own movie?
