Chapter 977: A Gathering of Beauties

In the end, Chanel failed to give Miss Luo Quan an irresistible price, but Chanel didn't close the door on the matter, meaning there was still a high probability that the price could be raised a bit later on.

After all, there was still more than half a year until the contract expired, so there was plenty of time to consider.

Miss Luo Quan's commercial value was right there. As one of the very few manufacturers that could reach an endorsement agreement with Miss Luo Quan, Chanel understood better than anyone how huge a value she could bring, and it wasn't impossible for them to eventually offer a sky-high renewal fee.

And Miss Luo Quan herself was a relatively nostalgic person. As long as Chanel could raise the price, she would definitely prioritize it.

The two sides had worked together for nearly five years without any conflicts, and they knew each other relatively well, so she naturally hoped that such a harmonious relationship could continue.

As for LV, they were indeed already contacting her, and the treatment they offered was quite generous—not just money, but also fashion and marketing resources, and even the endorsements of other artists in her company could be settled together.

This belonged to the kind of irresistible conditions Miss Luo Quan had mentioned before.

Chanel didn't know yet how strong the offer from LV was; if they had known, they might have given up even more decisively.

Compared to financial strength, Chanel was still quite a bit behind LV.

Although Miss Luo Quan was very tempted by the conditions offered by LV, she was still within the validity period of her contract, so no matter how tempted she was, she couldn't show any intention, so she only replied that she would wait until her contract expired.

LV was also very sincere and immediately replied that they would wait for the good news.

To be honest, this kind of signing attitude was already as good as it could get; if it were any other star, they probably would have already agreed.

However, Miss Luo Quan was the one being fought over, so she wasn't in a hurry at all.

After ending the negotiations with Chanel, Miss Luo Quan washed up and prepared to go to bed, when the Lingxi Mirror suddenly had some movement.

Since the last time she returned from the Huan Yu Xing, Bai Xingwei hadn't contacted her, and she didn't know what the matter was this time.

"What's the matter?" Miss Luo Quan took out the Lingxi Mirror and shoved her flawless, large face in front of the mirror.

"Are you taking a bath again?" Bai Xingwei blinked.

Miss Luo Quan was puzzled: "Why would you ask that?"

Bai Xingwei laughed: "Otherwise, why can I only see a face?"

Miss Luo Quan was very helpless: "I'm lying down, and the mirror is leaning against my chest, so of course I can only see my face?"

Hearing Miss Luo Quan's description, Bai Xingwei imagined the scene, and then a touch of jealousy rose in her heart.

This really wasn't something an ordinary person could do; even she could only let the mirror tilt upwards, while Miss Luo Quan's was almost at a vertical angle.

"What are you thinking about?" Miss Luo Quan asked curiously when she saw Bai Xingwei suddenly stop talking.

"Thinking about a math problem," Bai Xingwei said perfunctorily. "I have good news and even better news here. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Are they both good news? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be one good and one bad?" Miss Luo Quan chuckled. "Tell me the good one first, and we'll talk about the better one later."

"The good news is that the Universe Civilization is about to welcome a new year, and the Huan Yu Xing will also hold the New Year's Eve Gala to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

Recently, the gala's director team announced a partial program list, among which there is a program called the Universe Beauty Awards, inviting ten folk beauties from the Universe to perform on stage, and you are one of them!"

"Why didn't anyone notify me about this?" Miss Luo Quan opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Although being invited to step onto this stage was a recognition of her, wouldn't it be too arbitrary to put her on the list without even saying hello?

Bai Xingwei explained to Miss Luo Quan with a smile: "The director originally intended to discuss it with you, but couldn't find your contact information, so they could only contact your work unit, the Wu Shen Temple.

The Wu Shen Temple felt that this was an excellent opportunity to expand influence, so they naturally agreed with both hands and took on this errand.

I only found out you were selected after seeing the program list, and after asking around, I found out that this was how it happened."

"So that's how it is." Miss Luo Quan's mood calmed down a little. "Then there's really nothing to be done. Since it's already been accepted, I can only go."

"You don't sound very happy." Bai Xingwei curled her lips. "Don't think that this is just an ordinary routine entertainment program. Many people beg for mercy just to get a chance to show their faces.

When the New Year's Eve Gala is broadcast, more than half of the Universe Civilization will almost watch it. If you can have a wonderful performance, think about how much power of faith you can harvest?!"

This really woke her up. Compared to the Earth where spiritual energy has just recovered, the Huan Yu Xing's development and use of the power of faith is far ahead, and because of the population, the acquisition of the power of faith will also become much simpler.

Didn't Miss Luo Quan start live streaming to gain popularity for this?

And now that there is an opportunity to show her face in front of all the people of the Universe, she hadn't realized it yet. This was truly too inappropriate.

"So this is the better news you were talking about?" Miss Luo Quan's tone became increasingly eager.

"Otherwise?" Bai Xingwei rolled her eyes. "I've finished notifying you. I suggest you return to the Universe now. There are less than ten days left before the gala recording starts. You don't have much preparation time."

"Recording?" Miss Luo Quan was stunned. "Isn't this gala live?"

Bai Xingwei sneered repeatedly: "What are you thinking? Would such an important gala be broadcast live for you? What if something goes wrong? It must be recorded!"

Hearing this, Miss Luo Quan felt a kind of absurd sense of humor. Sure enough, the situation and environment are about the same everywhere in the world.

"Okay, I'll explain the things here, and then I'll come over immediately."

After Miss Luo Quan finished speaking, she closed the Lingxi Mirror.

Under these circumstances, she certainly had no sleepiness. She posted a status overnight, saying that she had been live streaming intensely for the past few days and felt a bit tired, so she wanted to ask for leave for a period of time, hoping that the fans would agree.

If it were in the past, this leave request would definitely have caused the fans to complain.

However, Miss Luo Quan's recent dedicated performance made the fans start to worry about her health, and they all called on her not to work so hard and to pay attention to rest.

Now it's good. Since you want me to pay attention, I'll take a few days off. You can't say I'm a salted fish this time, right?

There were indeed no critical voices in the comment section; they were all telling her to rest well, which was rarely harmonious.

After arranging for the fans, she sent a message to Wen Xia, saying that she was going to prepare for seclusion again and not to disturb her these few days.

She hadn't replied to her yet, probably asleep. She should be able to see it when she wakes up tomorrow.

Only her mother, she had already taken her younger sister back to her hometown in Yuzhou to visit her grandparents, and wouldn't be back for a while, so there was no need to notify her specifically.

After saying hello on the internet and at home, Miss Luo Quan took out the Anywhere Door and returned to the Huan Yu Xing.

Just as she pulled open the curtains, she noticed the change in the surrounding atmosphere.

When she left, everything was normal, but now when she returned, the high-rise buildings outside the window were already decorated with lanterns and colored streamers.

It happened to be night, and the colorful neon lights illuminated the entire night sky, showing it to be even more prosperous than during the day.

This was just because the end of the year was approaching. It is estimated that it will be even more lively during the few days of the New Year.

At this moment, a knock sounded on the door of the room. There was no need to guess that it must be Bai Xingwei.

She didn't know if she had installed surveillance in her room; how could she find her door so accurately every time she came back?

"Please come in," Miss Luo Quan said, sitting in the chair. She bet that Bai Xingwei could definitely come in easily.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and Bai Xingwei walked in with a half-smile on her face.

"I have a question. Why can you capture me accurately every time I come back?" Miss Luo Quan had always been straightforward and asked questions directly. Naturally, she didn't hold back this time.

"Are you stupid?" Bai Xingwei chuckled. "That earring you use to cover your face was given by me. Can I not sense its appearance and disappearance?"

"So that's how it is." Miss Luo Quan nodded suddenly. She thought there was surveillance in her room.

After a pause, Miss Luo Quan continued: "There is one thing I want to ask, and that is, besides the power of faith, are there any substantial rewards for this New Year's Eve Gala?

Like monetary compensation or welfare arrangements? It wouldn't really be for love, right?"

"You guessed right. It really is for love. Even so, many people want to do it but don't have the chance."

As someone who had been to the New Year's Eve Gala, she was quite qualified to speak and gave a very definite answer.

However, Miss Luo Quan was not too surprised by this result. Money or not didn't matter, but if there really was compensation, she had to figure out how much it was and what it was.

After sitting in the room for a while, Bai Xingwei went back to her room, and Miss Luo Quan also seized the time to quickly cram for this New Year's Eve Gala.

After reading for ten minutes, she barely understood.

This New Year's Eve Gala is similar in nature to the Spring Festival Gala, which is to have a family reunion during the annual festival and let everyone be happy.

Of course, whether the Spring Festival Gala can still make people happy is unknown.

However, the New Year's Eve Gala has been held for thousands of sessions since its inception, and the praise rate has always been quite good. The word-of-mouth in recent years has also been neither good nor bad, indicating that the director team has not made any outrageous plans, and the programs performed are also relatively in line with the public's taste.

Just like this Universe Beauty Awards, it had never appeared in the previous dozen sessions. The name sounds like an idea from some lecher who thought of it on the spur of the moment.

When the program first came out, it was attacked by many moralists, saying that this was objectifying women, a disrespect to women, and should not appear on the stage of the New Year's Eve Gala at all.

However, netizens soon began to attack these moralists, saying that they were all hypocrites, full of benevolence and morality, but actually full of male theft and female prostitution.

What's wrong with inviting beauties to perform? Who doesn't want to see good-looking girls?

You are scolding the New Year's Eve Gala for objectifying women now. Who will everyone watch if it doesn't invite beauties to perform in the future? Should they watch you?

This soul-searching question also left the moralists speechless.

When the moral high ground meets the people's simple pursuit of beauty, the side with more people often gains the upper hand.

And this time, it was clear that the majority of people who like beauties included many girls, because in addition to the Universe Beauty Awards, there were also Universe Hunk Awards this time.

If beauties were banned, hunks couldn't be kept either, and they would definitely be taken down.

In order to protect their own interests, they naturally had to join the ranks of attacking these moralists.

Furthermore, many girls also like to see beauties very much. As long as the appearance is high, regardless of gender, appreciating it will make people pleasing to the eye.

Besides that, the beauties invited by the director team this time are not ordinary beauties, but the ten great beauties recognized by the Universe Civilization.

What is called recognized? A level of 8 or above is a hard indicator, and then it is popularity, at least the kind that has been on the hot search.

Then it is necessary to have talent. Just a vase cannot step onto the stage of the New Year's Eve Gala. Without wonderful talent, you can't just let them stand there, right?

And it just so happens that these famous great beauties are all versatile people with talent. Maybe they don't necessarily reach the top level, but paired with their own appearance, they can definitely present quite excellent results.

And as a newcomer who only became famous in the past few months, Miss Luo Quan's popularity is the lowest.

Compared with the other nine seniors, she is not particularly outstanding in all aspects.

Without makeup, her appearance is only level 8, and with makeup, it just reached level 9.

The music performed is not bad, but it is just not bad, a little far from amazing.

The only thing worth praising is probably her inspirational experience from the grassroots. In addition, there is her amazing talent in martial arts. These are actually quite topical and make her extremely malleable.

But these cannot add too much luster to her on the performance stage.

What is most important on the stage? Appearance, performance programs, on-site performance, costumes, makeup, and props are all.

As for being born in poverty, family difficulties, grassroots counterattack, etc., that is only useful in the speech stage after the performance, and it is better to match it with tears.

But before and during the performance, these things have no meaning at all.

Therefore, compared with the other nine seniors who have been famous for a long time, Miss Luo Quan's disadvantage is quite obvious.

After the Universe Beauty Awards program came out, someone on the internet made a ranking of who they were most looking forward to, and Miss Luo Quan was the one with the lowest votes.

On the one hand, there are few fans, and on the other hand, netizens are indeed not very optimistic about her.

However, Miss Luo Quan is not panicked at all. This kind of headwind opening is equivalent to returning to the rhythm she is more familiar with.

No one knows better than her how to perform. But before that, she needs to figure out the preferences of the Universe people, and then she can prescribe the right medicine.

But whether it is music, dance, or other forms of performance, she has full confidence. ===== CHAPTER 978 =====
