Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 132 Alice's Doubts

September 5th, noon.

The official Weibo account of "OFFICIEL HOMMES" released the magazine cover of the year-end issue, which Jiang Yan had previously shot, right on time.

This official announcement, made without any prior warning, once again stirred up the nerves of domestic fandoms.

It's a near-top-tier solo publication, or a cover featuring top luxury jewelry brands.

Who wouldn't be confused by this resource?

Various verified fashion bloggers also reposted it immediately.

Does Tiffany's strong endorsement signify an upcoming upgrade in their collaboration, with Jiang Yan poised to become the leading celebrity in China and officially secure her first top-tier luxury brand endorsement?

[From a second-tier magazine to a near-first-tier magazine in just six months, the fashion world may be welcoming a new star.]

Basically, the fashion bloggers who shared the post gave Jiang Yan very positive reviews.

Of course, Yuehua Entertainment definitely played a part in this.

No one will praise someone without a reason, unless there is enough benefit or profit to be made.

Some bloggers' speculations about endorsements are actually signals that Yuehua Entertainment deliberately sent out to the public.

Because this is indeed a true story.

Recently, Yuehua Entertainment and Tiffany & Co. are in further cooperation negotiations. Tiffany & Co. is very optimistic about Jiang Yan, but they are still waiting for the reaction after the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show premiere.

Seeing these influential figures say this, other top-tier fans who were watching also started to panic.

No, this time something's really wrong.

Although Jiang Yan recently announced her partnership with Tiffany & Co., a top luxury jewelry brand, they can still console themselves that it's just a brand ambassadorship.

But now, with various bloggers speculating from multiple angles, it all seems quite plausible.

Meanwhile, fans are quite disoriented. What does that mean? Our idol is still scrambling for endorsements at low prices, but some people seem to be about to land top luxury endorsements?

Our teacher VV is also a top influencer, so how come there's such a big difference?!

Reed Sister and Megni aren't doing much better. Although the fan site admins of each group have previously revealed that their respective teams have already started to work hard, one is in contact with Cartier and the other is in contact with Burberry.

However, in the end, they are still just getting acquainted, and nothing is even remotely certain.

The magazine's official announcement and acknowledgment actually tagged Tiffany, which is much more concrete than any vague or unsubstantiated claims.

In other words, Feli doesn't currently consider these top-tier fans in China as part of the same group, and doesn't have the intention to challenge them.

Otherwise, if it were any other fandom receiving this treatment, they would probably have already gone to the rival fandom's supertopic on Weibo to stomp on their heads.

"I'm not going to say anything more. I've already ordered 5 books. Yanbao mentioned in his previous live stream that he didn't want his fans to boost his sales, otherwise I might have bought 2."

0 copies. "

"The fashion sense in these leaked photos is absolutely amazing! My husband is truly a born fashion icon! #heart #heart"

"We don't really know what level these magazines are at, but Jiang Yan looks good in everything, so I'll just buy one as a token of my appreciation."

"Other brands are making a huge fuss over a fast-moving consumer goods endorsement, but our Yanbao got endorsed by a luxury brand without saying a word. None of us understand! Being a fan of someone like her is a blessing!"

"@Yuehua, stop hiding it and give us a straight answer. There's a Tiffany store near my house. I'll go support them as soon as they officially announce the endorsement."

"Holy crap, sister, you're amazing! Becoming a fan of Jiang Yan is the perfect reward for you."

As is customary in China, Feli (a Chinese online community for consumer rights issues) floods the comments section of the magazine's official Weibo account with messages.

Actually, many of them didn't understand these things, but after seeing knowledgeable fellow fans explaining them in the comments section, they gained some understanding.

Anyway, they just know this result is amazing, so they just brag about it.

Actually, celebrities in Europe and America don't really value titles in the fashion industry, but it's different in China. Everyone pays a lot of attention to these titles, as they are a symbol of status.

Sometimes, when there's no clear winner among those with similar titles, they start arguing about treatment.

In short, we must determine who is better.

However, compared to these titles and benefits, Jiang Yan values ​​her musical achievements even more.

After all, this is his main job.

If you do well in your main job, the compensation for these additional benefits will certainly be good as well.

While still in South Korea, Kang Yeon logged onto Weibo using her main account that day. After leaving a thank-you message in the comments section of the magazine, she immediately logged off Weibo without checking the reactions of passersby.

He'll switch to a smaller account when he wants to watch it, and if he doesn't watch it, it means he's too lazy to watch it.

However, while the Chinese side is discussing his business resources today, the Korean online community is discussing something else entirely.

At 2 PM today, CUBE announced without any prior notice that Kang Yeon will release her latest collaboration single "GANADARA (Feat.IU)" on the 10th, and stated in the article that there will be special stage performances on the three major television stations for three days after the release.

This news is naturally a major event for the K-pop community.

Everyone was completely surprised when they saw the sign next to the song title that read "Feat.IU".

Jiang Yan collaborating with Lee Ji-eun? What an amazing combination!

On one side is a rising star, and on the other is a veteran powerhouse; this is truly a powerful alliance.

Putting everything else aside, both Feli and Uaena were filled with anticipation after hearing the news.

However, there is one group that is very sensitive to Jiang Yan's choice of when to release his song.

This group is called Aili.

The fans had just finished fighting with the VIPs a couple of days ago, and when they heard this news, they immediately exploded.

This is because this time coincides with the day EXO will be making their winter album comeback.

Given the precedent of Jiang Yan releasing her song at the same time as Kim Tae-yeon, they immediately suspected that Jiang Yan must have deliberately chosen this time to release her song.

"Damn, this was definitely a deliberate choice of this time!"

"Does he think he's invincible just because he beat Kim Tae-yeon? Does he think he's famous enough to beat us?"

"Those who come from obscure bands have no self-awareness; how dare they try to piggyback on our Asian top bands?"

""

On Korean online forums, organized criticism from EXO-Ls suddenly increased.

This time, SONEs, who were originally very hostile to EXO-Ls because of Byun Baekhyun's issues, suddenly put aside their prejudices and joined the ranks of those condemning them.

Furthermore, while dredging up old grievances, SONEs also broadened the scope, directly stating that Kang Yeon had been intentionally targeting SM artists.

Frankly speaking, when Jiang Yan saw what these people were saying, he said it was nothing but slander.

He had absolutely no intention of targeting SM.

Is it possible that he's just indiscriminately shooting at every popular group or artist?

He will target BIGBANG if they make a comeback next time.

Of course, this is all contingent on them returning.
