The second season of Li Jiaqi’s hit reality show — All Girls’ Offer — has started airing. Here’s why brands should tune in to the bargaining series.
What Happened: After three months of silence, celebrity anchor Li Jiaqi, aka the Lipstick King, has returned. The highly anticipated reality show All Girls’ Offer 2 — the first bargaining TV program in China to focus on Double 11 offers — launched last year is also back. The series showcased Li battling with brand managers to get the best discounts and products for customers.
Aired on October 9, the first episode has, so far, garnered 3.62 million views on the video-sharing site Bilibili. This time, the list of labels making an appearance has also grown. In addition to the big players of the first season returning (Sisley, Guerlain, and Shiseido), domestic beauty lines like Proya and Inoherb will also be featured. In Li’s words, “the idea is to empower local names.” Although cosmetics continue to be the main protagonists, the product categories have also expanded to include home electronics and car seats from the likes of Panasonic and Savile 猫头鹰.

On the first night of his comeback, over 60 million fans and shoppers gathered at his live broadcast room. This demonstrates how influential the mega KOL continues to be. Netizens’ reactions to the show have been overwhelmingly positive. Weibo user @Beiersworld, for one, shared: “Just watched the show and added so many items to my Double 11 shopping cart.” Continue to read the full article here.
