All-rounder Artist-Chapter 966 - 897: Please Invite Xian Yu as the Brand Ambassador

In an office within the West Lake Scenic Area.

The person in charge of the scenic area, Qiu Long, shook hands with a middle-aged man:

"Thank you so much, Teacher Sheng Yuan. I spent a day meticulously studying your ’Ode to West Lake,’ and I must say, I was astounded by the ingenious and subtle variations in the text, which are astounding. If it is ultimately adopted as West Lake Scenic Area’s comprehensive advertisement phrase across Blue Star, we will definitely provide additional compensation afterward …"

Mount Hua has recently become incredibly popular!

All the major scenic spots are envious!

West Lake, of course, is not willing to be outdone and plans to adopt Mount Tai’s model of using literature and art to advertise the scenic area.

Blue Star people just love this approach.

Just as this year’s tourism peak season is around the corner, all major scenic spots are gearing up to unleash their full range of promotional tactics.

West Lake is taking this advertisement very seriously.

The budget for the advertisement is frighteningly high.

After all, this has been the ongoing practice among Blue Star’s scenic spots for years.

For this purpose, West Lake Scenic Area’s person in charge, Qiu Long, contacted the renowned poet from Zhao Continent, Sheng Yuan, to write a poem as an advertisement for West Lake.

Sheng Yuan was very supportive.

He wrote a poem titled ’Ode to West Lake,’ which pleased many leaders from West Lake Scenic Area.

"High praise."

Sheng Yuan smiled faintly, "I don’t have the skills like Chu Kuang, who could bring a tourism boom to Mount Hua through a novel. West Lake itself is a Blue Starian classic that resembles a heavenly paradise. The scenes in my humble work are merely gilding the lily."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Long gave a bitter smile.

An example like Mount Hua’s is indeed hard to replicate, which is why everyone has been envious of Mount Hua lately.

Just then.

A somewhat excited voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Manager, manager, we have solicited a great poem, this poem might just work for our West Lake’s promotion …"

The person entered the room.

The voice suddenly halted.

This was a junior leader of the scenic area, who hadn’t expected to find Teacher Sheng Yuan in the office.

Talking about using another poem for West Lake’s promotion in front of Sheng Yuan—wasn’t this a slap in Sheng Yuan’s face?

Qiu Long’s face darkened: "Get out!"

Turning his head.

Qiu Long awkwardly explained to Sheng Yuan, "Teacher Sheng Yuan, I’m sorry, but someone in our scenic area insisted on organizing an event to collect poems from tourists for promoting West Lake. It’s just nonsense; how can the poems written by tourists compare to those of a great poet like you …"

"You are mistaken,"

Sheng Yuan earnestly said, "There might very well be people of astonishing talent among the populace. A poet’s fame does not represent authority. Even among those we call great poets in our Zhao Continent, who didn’t start from obscurity and slowly rise to where they are today? Since it has come up, why not listen to the poem?"

Qiu Long became even more embarrassed: "Is that appropriate?"

Sheng Yuan laughed: "There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I’m also curious what kind of lines made this person so excited."

"Alright then."

Qiu Long, annoyed, glared at the junior leader: "Where’s the poem?"

The person’s face was sweaty, and he bravely said, "Here, here!"

He took out a piece of paper and laid it flat on the desk; it was unmistakably Lin Yuan’s ’Drinking on the Lakeside, The Sunshine Followed by Rain’.

As a result.

Just one glance.

Sheng Yuan was momentarily stunned.

Qiu Long also slightly opened his mouth in surprise.

A moment later, Sheng Yuan suddenly slammed the desk!

Qiu Long jumped, thinking Sheng Yuan was angry, but surprisingly, Sheng Yuan began to heap praise:

"What a poem!"

After finishing, Sheng Yuan suddenly smiled bitterly:

"Is it some great figure from our Zhao Continent who passed by here? This ’Drinking on the Lakeside, The Sunshine Followed by Rain’ is impeccable in its verses, and even the handwriting reveals an extraordinary touch. I am but a faint glow, how can I compete with the bright moon? I’m embarrassed, I’m embarrassed."

"I’m asking you!"

Qiu Long spoke in haste.

This time, it was not merely to save face for Sheng Yuan — he was genuinely curious about the author of the poem, as this was no ordinary piece of writing!

From the characters!

To the poem!

Especially this poem, which almost forcibly exceeded Sheng Yuan’s "Ode to West Lake" by a whole level!

"Teacher Admirable Fish!"

The junior leader quickly said, "We confirmed with Teacher Admirable Fish’s assistant that he just happened to be visiting West Lake today, so he participated in that poetry collection activity!"

"Admirable Fish?"

Qiu Long was taken aback.

What a coincidence to encounter Admirable Fish visiting the scenic area, and he had even written a poem?

Sheng Yuan then burst into hearty laughter, "If it’s Admirable Fish, then there’s no problem. Although Zhao Continent has just recently joined the merger, I have carefully studied Admirable Fish’s works. Especially his ’Peach Blossom Poem’ which made me feel quite embarrassed; the world laughs at my madness, I laugh at others’ inability to see through, each time I read it, I secretly feel ashamed. However, I didn’t expect not only Admirable Fish’s poetry to be excellent, but his calligraphy is also worthy of a master; Brother Qiu, could you do me a favor?"

"What is it?"

"This piece of writing in front of us, how about you gift it to me? I don’t need any payment for the ’Ode to West Lake,’ whether you use it or not, I don’t mind, it’s just that this writing... it delights my heart..."

"Agreed!"

Qiu Long made a decision that would later cause him endless regret and sorrow during countless late nights.

At that moment, his thoughts were not on the calligraphy, but on the poem.

With this poem, the "Ode to West Lake" was definitely unneeded, so he also felt the need to compensate Sheng Yuan, and was even somewhat relieved:

At least he hadn’t offended Sheng Yuan.

"Thank you!"

Sheng Yuan, ecstatic as if treasure had been bestowed upon him, grabbed the piece of writing from the table and ran.

His quick action made Qiu Long even start to wonder whether he should have agreed so readily.

Was it just a piece of writing?

Could it be that Sheng Yuan was a fan of Admirable Fish?

Was this a burst of excitement similar to fans getting an autograph from their idol?

Soon, Qiu Long stopped dwelling on this issue. After Sheng Yuan left, his eyes suddenly blazed with intensity, and he said to the junior leader next to him,

"Notify all departments for a meeting!"

"The meeting topic will be ’Drinking on the Lakeside, The Sunshine Followed by Rain’!"

"My opinion is to use this poem as the highlight of West Lake’s advertising campaign this time!"

"Including the filming of this advertisement, it will also revolve around this poem, encompassing both sunny and rainy scenes!"

"Furthermore..."

"Contact the company Admirable Fish is affiliated with, invite them to cooperate, and it would be best if Admirable Fish could endorse our West Lake Scenic Area once!"

"Having him as a brand ambassador would be ideal!"

"Also, release the news of Admirable Fish’s visit to West Lake Scenic Area. Admirable Fish is well-known, and he should be able to attract some visitors!"

"Also, send the poem to my phone."

West Lake Scenic Area has never chosen any spokespersons or brand ambassadors, as no celebrity was deemed suitable.

However, Admirable Fish could be considered an exception.

"Yes!"

The junior leader quickly went to prepare, "I have already sent you the poem!"

"Hmm."

Qiu Long nodded his head, took out his phone, and started reading the poem repeatedly.

However.

For some reason.

Qiu Long suddenly felt that viewing the poem on his phone was not as impactful as seeing Admirable Fish’s original calligraphy just now.

"Could it be because brushwork and ancient poetry are more compatible?"
