Zhao Lusi proves that she can do well without her agency if she wants to, after it was revealed that the same noodle shop she went to recently has now experienced a surge of customers.
It all started on 3 August, when the actress held a livestream inside a noodle shop to talk about her contractual issue with her agency, Yinhekuyu Media.
As more viewers came into the livestream, Lusi can be seen enjoying her noodles and sharing her inner thoughts. Her clothing, glasses, hat and even the shop itself attracted attention. The hat she wore during the livestream is now sold out at the store, with a restock expected on 1 September. The bag she was wearing also flew off the shelves due to the surge in popularity, demonstrating her incredible influence in bringing products to consumers.
As for the noodle place, which is situated in Chengdu, the son of the owner called Mr. Li stated that there have been many more customers coming in since Lusi went to have a meal there.
“I didn’t know it was Zhao Lusi at the time; I thought she was an internet celebrity. She struck me as a very approachable person, without the airs of a celebrity. She was very kind and enthusiastic towards us,” he explained.
Mr. Li stated that while his noodle shop would usually lack customers during the hot summer, they have been getting a lot of business since Lusi’s appearance. He added that many of the customers even left calendars with Lusi’s images on the tables and wrote messages in the store to express their best wishes to the actress.
“I’m very grateful to her; I think she’s a very capable person,” he said.
