Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Endless Aftertaste
Leonardo wrecked his image to get an Oscar, sometimes leaking photos of his everyday life.
Xu Yang’s advertising plan was for Leonardo to shoot such clips.
Many fans couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, Leonardo looks hilariously funny!”
“Leonardo is really destroying his own image.”
“That’s nothing, Leonardo has been letting himself go for years to get that Oscar, even his movie role choices aren’t those handsome characters anymore.”
“I think Leonardo is pretty cute like this.”
“Time spares no one, even Leonardo has turned into a greasy middle-aged uncle.”
“If Leonardo spruces up a bit, he could still be a handsome uncle.”
“How much would they have to pay for Leonardo to star in such an ad?”
“I heard that adult product company was bought by a few Chinese.”
“No wonder, I hear the Chinese are really rich now!”
“Of course they’re rich, China is the creditor of our Beautiful Country, we have to borrow money from China.”
“I have to say, the Chinese have the guts to spend big bucks on hiring Leonardo for an ad. They must have spent a lot, but I wonder about the quality of their product.”
“It should be good; otherwise, they wouldn’t even make back the money they spent on Leonardo’s endorsement.”
…
“Although I’ve now become a greasy middle-aged man, I still yearn to have love of my own.”
The following scenes in the ad show Leonardo trying to woo various beautiful women, but he always ends up failing.
The segments were packed with laughs.
At this point, everyone felt great.
In real life, when not filming, Leonardo doesn’t control his figure and is a greasy middle-aged man, but with a good foundation, a bit of body management, and he remains a handsome uncle.
Moreover, as a superstar in the film industry, with fame and fortune, women are never far from his side.
It’s said the Victoria’s Secret supermodel squad is like Leonardo’s harem in waiting.
Every one of Leonardo’s girlfriends has been a Victoria’s Secret supermodel.
To be honest, this kind of fortune with women is even envied by the world’s richest men.
This playboy behavior makes men all over the world envious and resentful.
Now, seeing Leonardo in the advert unable to get a girlfriend, even though they know it’s fake, many feel great.
Even if this satisfaction is just an illusion.
An advertisement that makes people feel good is naturally popular.
You could say that the ad was already halfway to success at this point.
“The truth is, a greasy middle-aged man like me, without money, can’t possibly find love. I’m not resigned to this; am I doomed to be lonely forever?”
“Just when I was about to despair, I learned that YTXC Robot Companion Manufacturing Company had invented a robot girlfriend, so I decided to buy one.”
“I modeled the robot girlfriend after my first love’s appearance.”
The robot girlfriend in the video was indistinguishable from a real person in appearance.
Leonardo set his robot girlfriend’s appearance to that of Kate Winslet.
“Holy crap, is that the actual robot, or is it Kate Winslet herself?”
“If that’s a real robot, it’s indistinguishable from a real person.”
“If it’s that realistic, I’d definitely buy one!”
“Leonardo’s really got some nerve, setting his robot girlfriend to look like Kate Winslet. Isn’t he afraid of Kate Winslet’s husband coming after him?”
“Heh, maybe when Leonardo is with his girlfriend, he’s still thinking of Kate Winslet.”
“Hahaha, it’s because they’re the most famous screen couple.”
…
In the next scene, the artificial intelligence girlfriend was incredibly considerate, taking care of Leonardo’s daily life and being affectionate with him, allowing Leonardo to experience true love.
Invigorated by love, Leonardo started working out and quickly turned into a handsome middle-aged man.
Leonardo also worked hard to earn money, buying two tickets for the Titanic, and the couple embraced at the ship’s bow.
This scene was the classic moment from Titanic.
It was a dose of nostalgia and the climax of the entire advertisement.
“My name is Leonardo. YTXC’s robot girlfriend gave me the gift of true, beautiful love!”
With that, the commercial came to an end.
“Holy shit, is this robot girlfriend really that good?”
“Even if it’s not, it can’t be too far off, right? YTXC can’t exaggerate about their product’s capabilities that much, can they?”
“If it’s 80% as effective, I’ll bust my butt to save up and buy one. Otherwise, someone like me will never find a wife in this lifetime.”
“Women today are too realistic. They’d rather be a rich man’s mistress than a poor man’s wife.”
“My girlfriend ran off with a married man. Knowing full well he had a wife, she still went off with him. I’m heartbroken.”
“No matter what, I’m going to buy one.”
“I’m going to get one, take one home, and I won’t have to put up with a girlfriend’s temper.”
…
Amidst the chatter, the second commercial began to play.
It was an advertisement featuring Kate Winslet.
“My name is Kate Winslet. I’m a beautiful young lady with many suitors, but none of them interest me.”
“For a beauty like me, only a man who truly moves my heart deserves my affection.”
“As I got older and life’s pressures grew, my figure also went out of shape.”
“At that time, no one pursued me anymore.”
“The handsome guys no longer called me a beauty but instead a fat lady. Even when I lowered my standards to find someone to marry, no one wanted me.”
“As for love, that was even more out of the question.”
“Until one day, I found out about YTXC’s robot boyfriends and used all my savings to buy one.”
“I set my robot boyfriend to resemble my first love, and at last, I found love.”
“I’ve never enjoyed such a beautiful love life.”
This commercial was similar to Leonardo’s, with the only difference being that the protagonist was Kate Winslet.
Both were about aging, losing their attractive figures, and not finding the love they desired.
Only after purchasing YTXC’s robotic companions did they find love and change their lives.
Leonardo set his robotic companion to resemble Kate Winslet.
Kate Winslet, on the other hand, set her robotic companion to resemble Leonardo.
The final scene was also about buying tickets for the Titanic and standing at the iconic bow of the ship.
When the commercials ended, it was time for the press conference, which would take place in three days at the Empire Building in New City.
They also announced that ten lucky viewers would be drawn to receive a free robot partner.
There was a 50% discount for on-site orders, regardless of the quantity.
The two commercials were thought-provoking.
Everyone yearns for a beautiful love.
Boys hope to find their princess and live happily together.
Girls hope to find their Prince Charming and live happily together.
But the harsh reality is that life has many disappointments, not to mention finding love—even the thought of settling and getting married is hard to achieve.
This is the cruel reality.
YTXC’s robotic partners are intended to offer a window to this harsh reality, allowing those without partners to also have a chance at love.
What do you think?
