Early the next morning, the four of them got into Zhou Yiyang's car and headed to PepsiCo's company in Shanghai.
"What are you doing?" Su Yin yawned. She made the same mistake as Tang Yue last night. She was addicted to reading the positive comments from netizens. Who knew that she would stay up late just to read them?
Su Yin was now leaning against the window, her eyes were almost closed and her mind was hazy.
"Shooting a commercial." Tang Yue hummed a song with a refreshed look. Thanks to Su Yin's outstanding performance in the finale, several authoritative mainstream media reported on "Asian Horror Stories" early this morning, which once again attracted the attention of many people to this drama.
Among this group of people, there is always a small number who will watch the previous episodes, and naturally they can also see the performance of these three people in this drama.
"I thought we were going to America to shoot!" Lin Xuan'er said softly, because she found that Su Yin fell asleep directly after the warm air conditioner was turned on.
"That's how it was originally," Zhou Yiyang said while lying in the passenger seat. "But I specifically asked. This time we're shooting promotional photos, not advertisements that will be released everywhere. It would be too troublesome to go back and forth. So I talked to them this morning and decided to shoot it in China. When you go to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, you can also shoot the commercials."
"By the way, Brother Yang," Wang Xingrui asked curiously, "I saw on Weibo today that our drama has become a global trend on Twitter. Will that help our song take off?"
"Haha," Zhou Yiyang stretched lazily. "If you say there's absolutely no impact, that's impossible. But the bonus is indeed not that big, unless I put that song in the finale. But your song "Six Feet Under" has increased in play today on Moonlight and Spotify."
"Doesn't that mean we can get on the charts again?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. Who could have imagined that before them, so many Chinese singers who had ventured into the US had never made it into the Billboard Top 50? But for them, it seemed as if getting on the charts was as easy as entering a supermarket.
"That should be the case," Zhou Yiyang hummed cheerfully. "You might not believe it, but several foreign TV stations are already interested in purchasing the broadcasting rights for 'Asian Horror Stories.' This is a good thing. In the future, some dramas with themes that can't be broadcast domestically can be made into web series and sold abroad."
The driver laughed as he listened. "Mr. Zhou, you're amazing! Will people abroad start watching our domestic dramas from now on? Then I think they'll all learn to speak Chinese."
"Maybe," Zhou Yiyang said with a smile, "Then Chinese songs can also be exported. It would be interesting if a purely Chinese song appeared on the charts one day."
When they approached the PepsiCo company, the staff greeted them warmly and respectfully.
Generally speaking, large international companies like Pepsi have an attitude towards spokespersons similar to those of luxury brands, and are inherently arrogant.
But this time, when the people from the domestic branch saw Moonlight Girl, they were as enthusiastic as if they had seen their leader.
This is the first time they have been responsible for the promotional photos of global spokespersons, which is definitely the best performance since the establishment of the branch.
Moreover, they all knew how popular and well-known these four women, each beautiful in their own way, were in the country.
In addition, the reputation of their works is far higher than that of their peers, and their status has even quietly surpassed other artists of the same generation.
Wang Xingrui felt a little uncomfortable with their enthusiastic attitude, but Tang Yue reminded her, "Just get used to it. We're currently popular. If we lose popularity, we won't be able to enjoy it anymore."
Hundreds of clothes sponsored by international brands were placed in front of them for them to choose from, including styles collected by independent designers.
Although Zhou Yiyang could buy these things himself, it also allowed him to see the other party's sincerity.
Guan Fei stood aside and whispered, "Brother Yang, what do you think will be the public opinion online after Pepsi releases this set of promotional videos and confirms their titles?"
"Maybe they initially thought the official website was fake?" Zhou Yiyang joked. "They should still be happy. After all, she's a global spokesperson, and the first in Asia. But the buzz won't last long. It's just an endorsement, and watching the excitement is enough. We might as well wait until the 'Havana' music video is edited and released. That should keep the buzz going longer."
"That's right." Guan Fei nodded in agreement. "Now it seems they've really made it on the road to internationalization. I still remember when we set this goal in the company, most people, except you, didn't hold out much hope."
"It's also just luck," Zhou Yiyang said modestly, "From the new album to the new drama, nothing went wrong. Now we're just waiting for their performance, and this year will end perfectly."
While they were still chatting here, the shooting of promotional photos had already come to an end.
The four of them finally chose a set of clothes with the same style to highlight their group attributes.
As for the four of them, taking still photos was no longer difficult.
Once the photographer suggested the desired feeling, the four of them quickly grasped the key points and expressed them.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon that day, when many office workers were slacking off in the company and relaxing their minds.
They opened the forum and website homepage and saw a trending search that made them suspect it was from The Onion News:
"PepsiCo officially announced Moonlight Girl as its global spokesperson."
No matter how you look at it, it seems like someone is taking advantage of the popularity of Moonlight Girl and making up some news that no one would believe.
"Does the person who made this up have any common sense?" In several Chinese entertainment groups, many knowledgeable people have already come out to explain: "Pepsi's global spokespersons are almost all the most popular artists, bands, and athletes from the UK and the US. There are some non-British and US ones, but they are very rare because this is a business card for the world! Moonlight Girl? It looks fake no matter how you look at it."
The man who knows the answer was quickly ridiculed:
"No, the official website has posted it. I'll take a screenshot and show you. You're still being stubborn! It's just a crappy endorsement, but you're making it seem like a promotion. I think Yue Shao is worthy!"
"This official website must have been hacked! Haha, wait and see on Twitter, they're probably all laughing at you Chinese! They keep saying Korea loves YY, I think you're not much different!"
Of course, it didn't take long for the "know brother" to be slapped in the face. Pepsi released this promotional photo on Twitter, Facebook, and other official platforms, confirming the identity of Moonlight Girl.
In the photo, Yue Shao and his three companions are generous and confident, with charming smiles, showing the world what Chinese people are really like, rather than the stereotypes such as squinty eyes that some brands have created before.
Soon, this unique promotional photo immediately became a hit overseas, causing Moonlight Girl's Twitter and Instagram followers, which had not been maintained for a long time, to skyrocket.
Zhou Yiyang, standing outside the practice room, realized he'd guessed wrong again. The announcement of this endorsement had generated even greater reactions abroad than at home!
