Chapter 562: Chapter 562

When Mrs. He was saying this, another group of paparazzi arrived at the back of Dongting Lake Garden, and the sound of car doors slamming was incessant.

Upon hearing the noise behind them, Mrs. He turned around and was startled.

She saw that after those people got out of their cars, they were holding cameras and desperately photographing them, who hadn’t walked far away yet—the glare from the flash was almost blinding her!

Mrs. He quickly shivered, hastily grabbed He Jinxia’s hand, and ran inside, "We’d better hurry, those people are too shrewd. If we hadn’t come in ahead of time, who knows how we would have been surrounded!"

He Jinxia nodded in profound agreement. Nowadays, if you’re not shrewd, you couldn’t even be a paparazzo.

Not only must paparazzi have strong physiques and tenacious willpower, but they must also have exceptional instincts. If they weren’t sensitive enough, they wouldn’t be able to dig up the big scoops!

The reason why the gossip in the entertainment circle is so well-developed and eye-catching is all thanks to the elite members of the paparazzi who work tirelessly day and night, dedicating themselves to the front line to unearth the secrets of the stars.

He Jinxia couldn’t help but exclaim, "If they could apply the spirit they have for digging up celebrity scandals to other areas, they might achieve even greater things than they have now." For more chapters visıt n0velfire.net

Mrs. He chuckled, "That’s not necessarily true, everyone has their own likes. Maybe they just enjoy digging into the privacy of stars? Gossip is many people’s nature, and it can’t be changed."

Thinking of this, Mrs. He remembered the way Jinxia looked when she first went to a singing competition and couldn’t help but say:

"However, everyone’s hobbies can change, just like you. Five years ago when you went to singing competitions, you’d lock yourself in your room every day to practice singing, waking up to sing and then sleeping when you were tired, very hardworking. At that time, I thought singing was your favorite thing."

"But it turns out, that’s not the case. Now you enjoy acting, and I can see from your eyes your passion for acting is even more intense than when you were singing and dancing."

He Jinxia fell silent for a moment, she still had memories of those times.

The former "He Jinxia" indeed liked to sing and even more so to become a performer. She enjoyed the limelight on the stage and loved the feeling of being adored by people even more.

But she was different. Compared to singing, she enjoyed acting more. Portraying different characters allowed her to experience their lives, whether it was joy or sorrow, separation or reunion, each was a unique experience, like traveling.

When they arrived home, the He Family and the Sheng Family came together again for dinner, both families sparing no effort to deepen their relationship. This made He Jinxia feel awkward as if she were already married off.

He Jinxia glanced at Sheng Yan, who was sitting opposite her with proper posture, and couldn’t help but huff.

No romantic proposal, no lavish wedding—she was not about to marry off so easily.

On the fifth day of the new year, every household was still immersed in the festive joy of the holiday. Stepping onto the street, one could see that the doors of the shops were all closed. However, unlike before, there were many more people on the roads, adding some lively breath to the quiet streets.

Luo You was directing remotely, sending Tony to Dongting Lake Garden early in the morning to help He Jinxia get dressed. She had an important endorsement interview that evening.

To call it an interview was more like a talk show.

Since the brand she was endorsing was an international big name, the interview process was different from previous brands.

In the past, to secure an endorsement for a brand, it was mostly the brand’s executives who asked questions, inquiring about her understanding and views of the brand, and sometimes she had to perform some movements required for an advertisement, to determine if she was suitable for the role of spokesperson.

One could say that this process was a way for the brand to assess the candidate for the endorsement.

But the interview for an endorsement with an international luxury brand is different.

When Luo You explained the process to He Jinxia, she was slightly startled; she hadn’t expected the interview to be so... simple.

He Jinxia still couldn’t believe it and repeated, "I don’t need to elaborate on my understanding of the brand?"

Luo You affirmed, "No, you’ve never had any contact with the brand before. They won’t ask you to talk about understanding. You can only understand the meaning of something when you are quite familiar with it.

This is a prerequisite. To understand, you must first have it. With your status and usual attire, you’ve never even owned a Vanks watch; I’m sure the people at Vanks are even clearer on this than I am.

If you don’t own it, why would they ask you to talk about understanding? Isn’t that making things difficult for you?"

He Jinxia said, "But other brands’ interviews always require—"

Luo You interrupted, "So they are not the same. This is the confidence of a top-tier luxury brand; that’s why Vanks is top-tier while they can only settle for being second-tier."

He Jinxia furrowed her brows, pondering.

In her ear, Luo You’s voice continued, "The gap between first-tier and second-tier brands is very clear. Without enough depth, second-tier brands cannot advance to first-tier status. Since it is first-tier, the interview with Vanks is completely different from those with second-tier brands."

He instructed, "Don’t look at a first-tier brand with ordinary eyes, nor treat it with a second-tier mindset. The interview Vanks will have with you is simply a chat.

You don’t need to deliberately flatter them; you just have to express your own thoughts, and don’t get into their brand history either.

Trust me, they understand the value and philosophy of the brand better than you do; the fact that they’ve extended an invitation means they’ve already reviewed every aspect of you.

Whatever second-tier brands do to you, they’ve done it all, but they are different from second-tier brands in that they need to understand your thoughts more deeply, to see if your values align with their brand philosophy. So this interview is purely casual conversation."

"I’ve consulted some agents about how top-tier brands conduct interviews, and the answers they’ve given me are all different. Some brands might ask celebrities what colors they like to wear, what entertainment activities they enjoy in their normal life, what their hobbies are.

Other brands might ask celebrities what variety shows they like to watch, what kind of gourmet food they prefer. There are even some who will ask about the worst and saddest things they have experienced..."

"These questions are not targeted; you can’t decipher a pattern, so there’s no need to specially train for these responses. Trying too hard will just make you seem eager.

There’s a lot I can’t guarantee, but this one thing I can tell you for certain: luxury brands do not like an impatient attitude; they prefer the composure that comes with the passage of time."

Luo You went on to say a whole lot more, but it all boiled down to one message: just be natural.

He Jinxia was at a loss for words. Actually, if Luo You hadn’t said so much, kept things mysterious, she might not have felt anything.

But after he said so much and then told her to be natural and improvise, it made her even more nervous.

So it goes to show, some things are better not understood too thoroughly. Once you delve deep, you can’t help but overthink.
