Chapter 136 Asian Superstars and Male Gods Join Forces to Make Money

While Korean audiences were researching how to bypass the firewall, a post also appeared on Tianya Forum in China.

"Chinese hit drama "My Love from the Star" is popular in Japan, and foreign students in Japan have become subtitle-lovers"

The poster claimed to be a Chinese student studying in Japan. He found that the drama "My Love from the Star" has become popular in Japan recently, and many Japanese are watching it.

However, the Japanese TV station that just bought the copyright has not yet broadcast it.

So the main channel in Japan is online piracy, and foreign students in Japan are the main translators.

Since most of them are guest translations, they are not formal, each version is one, and the number of episodes is scattered, many Japanese drama fans watch it in a scattered manner, but it still does not dispel these people's enthusiasm for chasing the drama, but instead begins to ask Chinese people around them for help.

Among them, foreign students are naturally the most popular group.

The poster revealed that he has a friend in Zhejiang Province who, because of his fast typing speed, translated several episodes and used these resources to exchange for the phone numbers of more than a dozen Japanese girls.

And he himself made an appointment with another Japanese girl to go to her house to chase the drama together and translate on the spot.

This post quickly became a hot topic on Tianya, and many netizens actively commented.

[You better go to the scene to translate]

[I thought your friend was a badass, but you are even worse]

[I also want to go to Japan, and I also want to exchange language with these girls]

[I want to ask, is this drama really popular in Japan]

The poster replied: [It is still a long way from being a hit, but after all, it has not been officially broadcast, but many people are indeed asking for resources online]

[I also work in Japan, and it is true. It seems that someone edited the highlights of this drama, and I heard that it is very popular in China, so many people are curious to watch it and think it is well filmed, so it became popular in Japan]

[I am in South Korea, this drama is very popular in South Korea, and several girls around me are discussing the plot, especially Professor Gu played by Wei Yang, who is very popular]

[Haha, Korean media has already reported it, comparing this drama with "Meteor Garden"]

[……]

The hot posts on Tianya were quickly discovered by the media and then began to be exposed in batches.

This group of media is used to exaggerating. Originally, this drama was just gaining momentum in Japan and South Korea, but in their mouths, it has become "sweeping Japan and South Korea".

However, there is no doubt that such news is a gimmick, the audience likes to watch it, and it is also good for the TV series itself.

Even the publicity and distribution of "My Love from the Star" took the opportunity to give the TV series the title of "Hot in Asia".

Just kidding, the second and third rounds are still under negotiation. With this title, at least a few million more can be earned.

Although Wei Yang does not reject the TV series exaggerating the effect and making more money, he still has some face and does not brag rashly.

However, Fan Xiaopang does not have this concern. As soon as the news was received, the team immediately began to market it as "Asian Superstar".

Although this title may be a bit empty, her current popularity is indeed strong enough.

"My Love from the Star" has definitely improved her in all aspects and fundamentally, making up for her shortcomings, improving and consolidating her advantages, and gaining a large number of fans.

At this moment, Fan Xiaopang is really killing gods and Buddhas.

The four major actresses, four minor actresses, and actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan all have to avoid his limelight.

[Asian Superstar] is already a way for her to be restrained and low-key for Wei Yang's sake. If she follows her usual nature, she would probably be [International Queen].

Fan Xiaopang's marketing must have also driven Wei Yang. After all, the two are similarly popular, and even Professor Gu is more popular.

One is an Asian superstar, so the other can't be worse.

Wei Yang just wants to be conservative, and the media, which is crazy about riding on the popularity, also wants to put him on the list, so Wei Yang has the title of [Asian Male God].

Wei Yang has a good mentality. Since he can't resist, he will enjoy it silently, and then command the agency team to raise the price.

Just kidding, Asian Male God, intercontinental level, can he be priced the same as the top domestic stars...

…

"We are honored to invite Wei Yang and Fan... to join our Pepsi family..."

At the Pepsi endorsement press conference, the head of Pepsi announced with a smile that Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang would become their new spokespersons.

Compared with Coca-Cola, Pepsi has always been keen on hitting stars, especially in China, where it is very keen on chasing popular stars.

The earliest ones were Zhang Guorong, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Wang Fei. In the millennium, they piled up stars crazily. Kelly Chen, Teacher Chen, Sammi Cheng, Jay Chou, and Asian group F4 in Hong Kong are all their spokespeople.

After 2005, as the momentum of the Chinese music scene gradually began to decline, Pepsi's focus began to shift from the music scene to the film scene.

Although it signed two super popular singers, Cai Yilin and Xiaozhu, it also brought two film and television stars, Principal Gu and Huang Xiaoming, under its wing.

Especially Huang Xiaoming, he was the first mainland artist signed by Pepsi.

His endorsement of Pepsi not only showed his popularity at the time, but also indicated that mainland artists were rising, and the center of the Chinese entertainment industry began to shift to the mainland.

As the second and third mainland artists signed by Pepsi after Huang Xiaoming, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang also further confirmed this.

Domestic entertainment began to rise!

After the official talk was over, the media was free to interview, and all the reporters immediately began to "besiege" Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang.

"We understand that this is your first time accepting an endorsement, Wei Yang, can you tell us why you chose Pepsi?"

Because Pepsi gives a lot of money!

Wei Yang thought this question was nonsense, but he has always had professional ethics. If he takes someone's money, he must satisfy the sponsor.

"I am a loyal fan of our Pepsi Cola. I remember when I was a child, my family was not very rich. I should have had the first drink when I was in elementary school.

I remember very clearly that my father bought me Pepsi Cola at that time. The spokesperson at that time seemed to be King Liu. That was the first time in my life..."

Just kidding, Wei Yang is a professional screenwriter. Such occasions can be written casually.

In just a few hundred words, he expressed the importance of Pepsi Cola to him, indirectly praised his father's fatherly love, and established his own inspirational image of hardship in his childhood and success now.

A ray of light in childhood, working together when growing up, what an inspirational and warm story.

The person in charge of Pepsi nodded repeatedly, and Wei Yang was also very satisfied.

That is to say, the nationality does not match, otherwise "Wei Yang and His Pepsi-Cola" might be shortlisted for "Yilin" and "Zhiyin" as a chicken soup story.

Only Fan Xiaopang knows him better, and turned back to ask secretly: "Is this story true?"

Wei Yang nodded and shook his head: "I do love to drink Pepsi, but the first beverage I drank when I was a child was definitely not Pepsi."

"Why?"

"When I was a child, this thing was so expensive that my father was reluctant to buy it. Even if he bought it, it was a counterfeit and pirated product."

The beverages that Wei Yang drank when he was a child were mostly the small soda produced locally, which were mixed with saccharin pigments, with all kinds of flavors, and cost a few cents a bottle.

When children were young, they didn't know anything. As long as it was a beverage or soda, they would drink it, regardless of whether it was genuine or pirated.

What was the first time to drink genuine Pepsi? Wei Yang didn't remember whether it was in middle school or college, but it was definitely not when he was a child.

Fan Xiaopang learned the truth and rolled his eyes wildly. This dog man was too shameless.

But later, she begged Wei Yang to give her a whole essay, so that she could use it when she got endorsements.

Wei Yang didn't care, but he wasn't someone who would write for others easily. If Fan Xiaopang wanted a short essay, he had to give him some polish.

Fan Xiaopang agreed very readily. It's not like he had never polished his pen before, so he could just polish it casually...

Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang answered a lot of questions, and Pepsi also announced that it would shoot a new commercial with Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang as the theme in the future.

Pepsi advertisements have always liked to bundle, otherwise they wouldn't sign a pair every time, and they were going for the popularity of the two people and "My Love from the Star".

Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang certainly understood this. Either of them might be popular enough to take over the endorsement of Pepsi, but they might not be the center, and the price would be low.

But the two of them joined hands, and Pepsi directly gave them a contract of 18 million/two years.

Wei Yang got 8.5 million, and Fan Xiaopang got 9.5 million. If they negotiated alone, they might not be able to get such a good contract.

Not to mention Pepsi's subsequent series of new advertisements, which were built around the two of them.

For artists, brands like Pepsi not only bring money, but also strong exposure. This advertising strategy is very beneficial to them.

Fan Xiaopang even tasted the sweetness of this cooperation and took the initiative to discuss with Wei Yang, planning to further bind and make money together.

1+1 is greater than 2. The two of them have their own popularity and will definitely make more money.

Moreover, Fan Xiaopang's business resources are open to Wei Yang. Similarly, Wei Yang's resources are also open to Fan Xiaopang, and the number of brand endorsements that both parties can receive is also more.

Wei Yang is somewhat tempted. Why do many CPs or celebrity lovers/couples often go in and out together, and even if they have divorced and broken up, they still insist on being "as loving as before" because they can make more money together.

The interest contracts of these people are highly bound. Feelings can be dispersed, but money cannot be dispersed.

Now "My Love from the Star" is very popular in China, and it even has a bit of a trend in Asia.

Wei Yang can certainly make a lot of money alone, but working with Fan Xiaopang is the best choice to maximize benefits.

"I'll report to my boss at home."

Although Wei Yang was tempted, he didn't agree easily. There was no problem with joining forces, but his family had to be coaxed. If he agreed rashly, it would be easy to cause trouble in the backyard.

"Why didn't you report to your family when you were with me last night?"

Fan Xiaopang looked disdainful, and then gently bumped Wei Yang: "Why don't you just kick that girlfriend, and we can be a pair, a strong combination, earning more and being more popular."

"Don't."

Wei Yang looked alert: "Sister, making money is making money, let's not be serious."

"Womanly kindness!"

Fan Xiaopang was so angry that he scolded himself: "If we make an official announcement, the price can at least be raised by 10%. At worst, we can divide it later after making money. Don't be stubborn."

"This is not stubbornness. Money can be earned again. If your wife runs away, you can't coax her back."

Wei Yang would never obey. It's not like he won't have the opportunity to make money in the future. There's no need to play so hard.

Seeing that Wei Yang disagreed, Fatty Fan didn't know what he felt. He felt unhappy, unwilling, and a little relieved.

If Wei Yang really dumped his girlfriend for money, he would be a scumbag and have no conscience. No matter how handsome, rich, or talented he is, he is not someone worth making friends with...
