374: Chapter 374 Four Extravagant Practices

Master Huang didn't know what to say. Was this the legendary Lin Chuyan, the one who supposedly learned a new skill with every film he shot?

Was this young man working a bit too hard? After all, theoretically, what he had taught him was already enough.

In the end, it all distilled into one sentence: "Teacher Lin Chuyan, you are truly awesome."

Lin Chuyan's reasoning was simple: those 'Immersive Deep Learning Cards' sitting in his system were meant to be used; leaving them unused would be a waste. Besides, this film had many action scenes, and since he was determined to portray the best Second Master, how could he not strive for perfection?

However, if he really wanted to learn, Master Huang actually didn't know how: "How about this, I'll ask around for you. There are some traditional martial arts routine Acting competitions that feature the Three-Point Double-Edged Spear. I'll find a professional to teach you."

"Would they be willing to teach me? They won't ask me to join their sect or something, right..."

"Hey! You've been reading too many martial arts novels, haven't you? Why wouldn't they be willing? In this day and age, who hides such cold weapons anymore? The masters need to make a living too... And to be honest, it's nothing more than a martial arts routine, just for fitness! But if you can really master it, if nothing else, at least you won't have to worry about this film anymore."

As for whether Lin Chuyan could learn it? That question was never within Master Huang's range of concerns.

Lin Chuyan was naturally very happy: "Alright, alright, alright, then I'll leave it to you, Master Huang!"

While filming was ongoing, good news kept coming from the other side—the several commercials Lin Chuyan shot before the New Year were finally about to go live.

It was as if the brands had agreed beforehand; they were all crowding into the end of February.

The reason for this was mainly that the production schedules happened to coincide.

Chinese New Year's Day was January 29th. February was still manageable, as it could somewhat count as the first month after the start of the year. If they had to wait until March, the brands themselves wouldn't be happy.

Thus, at the end of this February, after a few months of silence, Yanzi once again welcomed new endorsements.

There weren't many, but each one carried significant weight, allowing everyone to see his commercial value.

The first to be officially announced was the top-tier watch brand "Chronostellar".

"The artist of time, the inheritor of Chronostellar—Welcome Mr. Lin Chuyan as the global brand ambassador for Chronostellar. Mr. Lin Chuyan, with his extraordinary artistic talent and relentless pursuit of perfection, perfectly aligns with the exquisite craftsmanship and excellent traditions of Chronostellar watches. In this rapidly changing world, Mr. Lin Chuyan, with his unique charm and professional spirit, interprets the true value of time together with Chronostellar watches. He not only shines on stage and precisely grasps the soul of his characters before every camera lens, but also demonstrates an extreme pursuit of detail in his daily life, which coincides with Chronostellar watches' obsession with precision and perfection. We look forward to every wonderful moment we will open with Mr. Lin Chuyan, and together, we will witness the eternal charm of Chronostellar watches in the long river of time. #ChronostellarGlobalAmbassadorLinChuyan# "

The photos of Lin Chuyan attached to the Weibo post showed off his watch while also showing off Lin Chuyan's hands.

One had to admit that Yanzi's hands were quite good-looking—slender and with distinct knuckles. Many female fans were into this—seeing the hands, they could imagine all sorts of scenarios...

Fans were naturally reposting everywhere, but the Haters were not happy.

Wait, he managed to get a meal again? Didn't they say he was blacklisted? Why are brands still looking for him to endorse them!

Are you brands blind? He doesn't even have movies to film anymore; he can only film TV dramas in the future. He's been reduced to a TV drama actor, and you're still asking him to endorse you? Don't you think it's devaluing your brand?

I don't understand, I don't respect, and I don't wish him well. I'm so angry I want to knife Lin Chuyan.

Especially Feng Liqian's fans: This is a top-tier watch; my Idol doesn't even have this endorsement, so why does Lin Chuyan? But fortunately, Brother Qian has three luxury endorsements, while Lin Chuyan only has two even with the watch. No need to panic.

However, the luxury car brand "Silver Thorn" also made an official announcement shortly after.

"Driving the future, leading the trend. Respected members of the Silver Thorn family, today we are honored to announce that the Asian triple-threat superstar Mr. Lin Chuyan has officially become the global brand ambassador for Silver Thorn. On the track of speed and passion, Mr. Lin Chuyan, with his extraordinary Driving Skill and relentless pursuit of perfection, perfectly aligns with the luxury and excellence of the Silver Thorn brand. Mr. Lin Chuyan has not only shaped classic race car driver images on the silver screen but also demonstrated unparalleled driving talent on the track. The partnership between Silver Thorn and Mr. Lin Chuyan is not only an upgrade of the brand image but also a joint commitment to excellent quality and extraordinary charm. We believe that in the days to come, Mr. Lin Chuyan will join Silver Thorn in leading a new trend of luxury cars and opening a new era of driving. Please look forward to the extraordinary journey presented by Mr. Lin Chuyan and Silver Thorn, and let us experience the perfect fusion of speed and luxury together. #SilverThornGlobalAmbassadorLinChuyan# "

Haters: ??? Cars are one thing, but a luxury car? "You can get a luxury car endorsement just by knowing how to drive? 666." "Is it that sloppy? Silver Thorn is a global ambassador too???" "Goodbye to Silver Thorn; I won't buy it anymore."

However, Silver Thorn owners quickly replied with photos of their cars: "Haters, don't be so funny. Is it that you can't afford it or don't want to buy it? Post a photo and let me see." "Honestly, if you had to choose which domestic artist to endorse Silver Thorn, there really is no one more suitable than Lin Chuyan." "We Silver Thorn owners like men like Lin Chuyan. Haters, get lost!"

The Haters were furious, but before they could even digest this news, a new endorsement came—jewelry brand Lumina Estrella also made an official announcement.

"Flowing light and vibrant colors, starlight shining brightly. Respected connoisseurs, we are honored to announce that Mr. Lin Chuyan has officially become the global brand ambassador for Lumina Estrella. On the occasion of the New Year, we specially present the Lumina Estrella New Year Limited Edition Spirit Snake Necklace.

The compatibility between Mr. Lin Chuyan and Lumina Estrella is reflected not only in his elegant outward appearance but also in his inner ingenuity. Every time he wears it, it is the best interpretation of Lumina Estrella's design philosophy—the harmonious resonance of classic and modern, the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. We look forward to every wonderful moment we will open with Mr. Lin Chuyan, and together, we will witness the eternal charm of Lumina Estrella in the world of jewelry. #LuminaEstrellaGlobalAmbassadorLinChuyan# "

Ready-to-wear, watches, luxury cars, jewelry—four luxury endorsements on his person. What do you say about this wave?

Feng Liqian's fans were speechless—though they should have kept quiet long ago; Yanzi didn't even have a person like Feng Liqian in his eyes now.

The Haters didn't know what to say either. If you wanted to say one brand was ignorant and didn't know Lin Chuyan was "blacklisted," that might be possible. But if you wanted to say all the brands were idiots, daring to court trouble at such a sensitive time... that only proved one thing: they all believed that the current Lin Chuyan was worth it, was this sought-after, and did have this kind of commercial value.

The fans, on the other hand, thought it was reasonable: Idol is so popular, an Asian top-tier celebrity, wouldn't it be weird if he didn't have four luxury endorsements?

However, everyone soon discovered one thing— "Lumina Estrella seems to have another global brand ambassador... I remember it's Ruan Xingyu?" "Checked, and it really is. What do you call this? This is called the wife sings and the husband follows, hahaha!" "Not bad, not bad, the brand has good taste. I'm starting to look forward to when they attend brand events together; wouldn't that just be public displays of affection on the company's dime?" "This spirit snake necklace is good! I plan to order one! New atmosphere for the Year of the Snake, let me soak up some of the good luck from the couple!"

There were also fans who habitually tagged someone: "@Director Deng Yu Deng-zi, care to comment on this wave of endorsements?"

Four luxury endorsements are certainly awesome, but neither the Haters nor the fans expected that Idol had an even more awesome endorsement that hadn't been released yet. Furthermore, the impact of this wave would be world-class.
