Chapter 623: Birth

In addition to eyeshadow, Luo Quan also shared several practical makeup tutorials, such as the fresh look, the peach blossom look, and the smoky look.

Each look had some minor adjustments compared to current common techniques, but after the changes, they seemed to look more comfortable than the original versions.

This belonged to her personal, unique know-how, and Luo Quan imparted this knowledge completely, not treating her fans as outsiders.

Additionally, she explained in detail which makeup looks were suitable for various face shapes and where concealer was needed; the practical information was simply more than what others paid for in makeup courses.

She livestreamed for over an hour; when she first started, there were only a few million viewers, but by the time she finished, it had exceeded thirty million. Many of those sending bullet comments were new accounts, clearly diverted from Weibo.

After the lesson finished, Luo Quan trended on the search list again. This time, she received the worship of all the women in the comment section.

Several had already posted their "homework" for the day; although there was still a gap compared to Luo Quan's craftsmanship, the appearance they displayed was indeed very beautiful.

This made the crowd of beauty-loving women even more enthusiastic, and they flocked to Bilibili to search for the recording of Luo Quan's livestream from that day.

However, no one expected that the one most affected by this incident was a makeup brand named "Born to be Beautiful"—the very brand Luo Quan recommended during the livestream.

Just because of that one sentence of recommendation from Luo Quan, they had over two hundred thousand more in sales in a single day.

Luo Quan was using it, so the vast number of female compatriots didn't need to pursue those high-end cosmetics that cost thousands of yuan per item.

This effect of driving sales was something Luo Quan hadn't expected; she just felt it was good to use and mentioned it.

If one really wanted to talk about driving sales, she hadn't given the media less praise for her love of using Dabao SOD Honey, but she had never heard of a similar situation occurring.

It could only be said that the effect of this livestream was truly too good, causing the vast number of female compatriots to engage in bandwagon consumption.

"Luo Quan's product recommendations are truly conscientious!"

Soon, this incident appeared on the trending search list, and the comment section was full of praise for her.

Clearly, after buying it and using it, they felt it was good and believed they had dug up a treasure of a cosmetic, so they specifically went online to praise it.

The facts were indeed so; no matter how bold Luo Quan was usually, it was impossible for her to make a joke out of her own face, so the products she used had no quality issues.

It was just that this brand didn't like marketing and fake orders like its competitors, so it developed silently and was relatively low-key.

Being able to become an overnight success this time could be considered a reward for its conscientious quality over the past few years.

The only pity was that this brand hadn't secured Luo Quan's endorsement.

If they could cooperate, it would be equivalent to taking off for this brand.

However, the effect of this livestream sales drive was actually no less than an endorsement, and it was even free, so it wasn't a loss.

Having achieved unexpected progress in the field of driving sales, Luo Quan soon aroused the curiosity of some netizens, who asked if she intended to enter the livestream sales industry.

Livestream sales were a very hot industry at the moment; celebrities, internet influencers, and ordinary people had all thrown themselves into it and made a fortune.

Among them, two industry leaders had once set a record of ten billion in sales in a single day; when the data came out, it truly gave netizens a big shock.

Ten billion in one day; I'm afraid even the Asian capital couldn't earn that much.

However, after analysis, it was known that this was the sales volume generated in the livestream room, not the money earned by the livestreamer, but even if the commission was only one percent, it was already quite astonishing.

In the eyes of the public, celebrity livestream sales were considered a behavior that lowered one's status, but there were still so many big-name celebrities willing to "condescend" to the livestream room to cheer for merchants, which indirectly proved that the money one could earn in this line of work was truly a lot.

Therefore, even if Luo Quan really announced that she was going to do livestream sales, no one would find it strange, and because of her huge popularity, many manufacturers would likely bring money to have her show her face for their products in the livestream room.

For her, who livestreamed frequently, there was actually a very big advantage in doing this line of work, but she herself wasn't particularly interested in this method because if she wanted to recommend something, she definitely had to use it herself before speaking.

What was she using now?

Her clothes were all Chanel, the cosmetics had been recommended, and she didn't usually eat snacks; what she drank was nothing more than milk and diet tea.

But those two items were royal specials; if she recommended them, ordinary people wouldn't have a place to buy them, and doing so would likely lead to others saying she was engaging in disguised wealth flaunting.

Adding it all up, she actually felt she was quite simple.

However, simplicity in a full set of Chanel didn't feel quite right.

To sum it up, the product she used the most that could drive sales was probably Rejoice Orange Shampoo.

The fresh fragrance that many boys smelled after getting close to Luo Quan, which they thought was Luo Quan's body scent, was actually the smell of this shampoo.

In fact, the so-called body scent of most girls was actually the smell of shampoo or body wash.

Luo Quan felt this brand was quite good to use, and the smell was also good, so she had been using it for several years.

Looking at her dense, golden hair that was as smooth as silk, it was indeed quite convincing.

However, this thing mainly depended on one's constitution; after all, some people started losing hair before they were twenty, which actually had little to do with what shampoo they used.

So, to sum it up, there was still nothing good to recommend.

This was just a small interlude derived from the hot screening of "Frozen," a manifestation of popularity.

After five days of word-of-mouth spread, the box office of "Frozen," after rising for so many days, finally reached its peak, and the cumulative box office had also reached 1.1 billion US dollars.

The entire film industry was watching this box office miracle; compared to "Titanic," which also had an explosive box office, "Frozen" actually made people feel even more outrageous.

Because the former had been marketed as a masterpiece of the century before it was even released, with the investment, production, director, actors, and distribution all being top-tier lineups; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a monster piled up by gathering half of Hollywood's resources.

With such a scale, achieving such a box office wasn't a strange story, but if it had flopped, that would have been the biggest joke.

And "Frozen" had a hint of an underdog from the beginning of its marketing; the director famously said this was a fairy tale story.

What is a fairy tale? Things children watch, the stale story of a prince falling in love with a princess; in Hollywood, it was the most status-less melodramatic romance film.

Even though the film's cast was actually quite worth watching, no one could have predicted that it could achieve such results after release.

This probably had to do with the anti-trope nature; fairy tales didn't talk about romance but family affection, handsome men and beautiful women didn't fall in love but instead filmed sisterly affection, idol films weren't filmed, but in the end, they filmed a super special effects blockbuster.

Various anti-trope settings ultimately brought film fans a brand-new experience, distinguishing it from almost all previous fairy tale films.

This was Luo Quan's secret to success; with her overflowing inspiration, she could always come up with some new tricks for everyone. It could only be said that a genius's brain is different from an ordinary person's.

What she could easily think of and implement might be a flash of inspiration that others couldn't get even after racking their brains.

Sometimes one has to admit that God or Heaven is truly unfair.

Some people are born with high looks, some are born with good brains, and some are born with artistic bacteria all over.

And Luo Quan belonged to those who purchased VIP luxury services before birth, gathering all the elements at once.

She belonged to the rare genius who gathered the beauty of creation and the favor of heaven and earth, a rarity seen once in a hundred years.

Here, "rarity" is not a derogatory term, but a solid compliment.

Of course, Luo Quan had always made no response to such evaluations.

Because she herself knew that her experiences were probably even more bizarre than the public imagined.

Pies never fall from the sky, but sometimes systems really do fall from the sky.

As 2018 drew to a close, "Frozen" drew a perfect full stop for this year's film industry.

This year had truly seen the emergence of too many excellent works; the Oscars ceremony in early March next year would definitely be very exciting, and many people had already started looking forward to it...

New York Xirui Gynecology Hospital, late at night.

Outside, the heavy rain wrapped in a blizzard slammed fiercely against the ground, and the biting cold wind attacked the windows, making a slight clattering sound.

Luo Quan, Erik, Gao Liang, and the whole family waited outside the delivery room, anxiously waiting.

Today was December 31st; just as she reached her due date, Luo Ni's amniotic fluid broke.

At noon, Luo Ni had eaten lunch and was thinking about walking around the bed, but it was Luo Quan who saw that her mother's bed sheet was wet.

Originally, it was normal for pregnant women to occasionally wet the bed.

However, this amount was clearly not right, so Luo Quan immediately called the doctor and nurse, and upon examination, it was discovered that the amniotic fluid had already broken.

However, the breaking of amniotic fluid didn't mean she would give birth immediately; it was possible she would have to wait a day or two.

But for the sake of safety, the hospital still gave Luo Ni an examination first.

She was indeed about to give birth, and subsequently, the family escorted Luo Ni into the delivery room.

What followed was for the doctor to operate; additionally, when it came time for delivery, the father would be allowed in to cheer for the mother, and some families would even record this moment, but Erik didn't have the leisure for that right now.

This wait lasted until the evening; finally, the nurse came out of the delivery room and notified them that the mother was about to give birth and asked the father to go in.

Erik stood up with a start, changed his clothes, and then performed disinfection.

Not too many people could go in, so Luo Quan and Gao Liang remained outside.

Mia also rushed over upon hearing the news, comforting Luo Quan, who looked a bit nervous.

"When my mom gave birth to my younger brother, she was also forty-one, also an older pregnant woman, and it was also in this hospital, and it went very smoothly," Mia said in a low voice and gently patted Luo Quan's shoulder.

"I hope so," Luo Quan squeezed out a smile, looking at the red light on the door outside the delivery room.

It was said that the pain of a pregnant woman giving birth was at level 12; it was hard to imagine what kind of feeling that was.

However, thinking that her mother actually had to experience it twice, Luo Quan felt heartbroken; it was truly not easy, and her mother was unwilling to accept a C-section, insisting on a natural birth.

Originally, she wanted to play with her phone to distract herself, but as she blankly flipped through the screen, she found she couldn't take anything in, and she couldn't focus her attention at all.

Luo Quan simply turned off her phone, rested her chin on her hands, and zoned out.

Listening to the sound of the rain and lightning outside, the electronic clock in the corridor made a crisp time-telling sound.

Luo Quan was startled by this abrupt sound; she looked up and found that it was already 2019, and the New Year had arrived.

Ten minutes later, the delivery room door opened, and the nurse walked out and said, "The mother has already given birth to the baby, everything went smoothly, family members can go in to take a look after disinfection."

"Boom!"

The big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and Luo Quan, who had been pale, regained her color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The past few hours were definitely the most nervous and agonizing moments of her life; giving birth to a child was truly too torturous, and she didn't know if it would cause psychological trauma.

However, no matter what, mother and daughter being safe was the greatest comfort; it didn't matter if she suffered a bit.

The three of them disinfected, changed clothes, wore masks, and walked into the delivery room, and under the guidance of the nurse, they saw the mother and the younger sister.

The mother's face was a bit pale, clearly having shed a lot of sweat, and many strands of hair were stuck to her temples; she didn't know how much suffering she had just endured.

However, the smile on her face was truly bright.

"Where's Dad?" The sister and brother asked curiously when they didn't see their father after entering.

"He was too nervous and almost couldn't catch his breath, so he went to get oxygen," Luo Ni said with a look of both disgust and amusement when mentioning this matter.

Originally, she said she would let Erik come in to accompany her so she could grab his arm to relieve the pain, but before she even started giving birth, this useless guy took two steps back and collapsed on the ground, also knocking over bandages, hemostats, and everything else all over the floor.

The doctor went over to take a look and found that it was because his nerves were too tense, his anxiety disorder had flared up, and he was directly limp all over.

Luo Ni was in extreme pain at the time, but seeing this funny guy, she was forced to laugh from the pain; she was still gritting her teeth and enduring it, but the father had collapsed first.

However, after laughing, she also felt a bit heartbroken; she had previously heard her daughter say that Erik went to the corridor to smoke sullen cigarettes every night and was always worried.

Only when facing her would he smile like nothing was wrong, but it turned out that on the day of giving birth, he finally couldn't hold it together.

But fortunately, once today passed, the source of all anxiety would be solved.

Anxiety disorder comes and goes quickly; Erik, who had been helped down, rested for a while and soon returned to Luo Ni's side.

At this time, Luo Ni had already given birth halfway and was in so much pain that she was clawing and scratching; she directly reached out and grabbed the soft flesh on the waist of her husband, who had just recovered, and then twisted it in a circle like turning a gas stove.

This force seemed as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she and her daughter had suffered over the past ten-plus years, and she didn't hold back at all.

Erik, being twisted like this, was also in so much pain that he almost went into shock and fainted again.

Fortunately, men, after all, always have a higher tolerance for pain, and besides, this degree was far from the level 12 pain of childbirth.

In order to keep his wife happy, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

After the baby was born, Erik only had time to take a few looks before going to get oxygen again, and by the way, applied some medicine to his already bruised lower back.

After listening to Luo Ni's account, the people in the ward all laughed out loud.

And Luo Xi, who was wrapped up, also laughed along. ===== CHAPTER 624 =====
