"The Chinese hit drama "My Love from the Star" is popular in Japan, and international students in Japan have become fans of subtitles"

The person who posted the message 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.

Therefore, the main channel in Japan is online piracy, with Chinese students studying in Japan as the main translators.

Since most of them are guest translators, they are not formal, each version is unique, and the episodes are scattered, so many Japanese drama fans watch them sporadically. However, this still does not dampen their enthusiasm for chasing the drama, and instead they begin to seek help from Chinese people around them.

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

The poster revealed that he had a friend in Zhejiang Province who translated several episodes because he could type quickly, and used these resources to exchange for the phone numbers of more than a dozen Japanese girls.

He himself made an appointment with another Japanese girl to go to her house to watch the drama together and do on-site translation.

This post quickly became a hot topic on Tianya, with many netizens actively commenting.

[You'd 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]

[Is this drama really popular in Japan?]

The poster replied: [It’s still a long way from being a hit, but after all, it hasn’t been officially aired, but there are indeed many people 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 was very popular in China. Then many people went to watch it out of curiosity and thought it was well filmed, so it became popular in Japan.]

[I am in Korea. This drama is very popular in Korea. Several girls around me are discussing the plot, especially Professor Gu played by Wei Yang. He is very popular.]

[Haha, Korean media has already reported on this drama, comparing it to Meteor Garden]

【……】

Tianya’s hot posts were soon discovered by the media and then began to be exposed in batches.

These media outlets are accustomed to using exaggerated descriptions. Originally, this drama was just gaining popularity in Japan and South Korea, but in their words it has become "sweeping Japan and South Korea."

But there is no doubt that such news is eye-catching, audiences love to watch it, and it is also good for the TV series itself.

Even the publicity and promotion team of "My Love from the Star" took the opportunity to label the TV series as "Hot in Asia".

Just kidding, the second and third rounds are still under negotiation. With this hat, I can at least make a few million more.

Although Wei Yang is not opposed to TV dramas exaggerating the effects to make more money, he still has to have some dignity and does not rashly exaggerate.

However, Fan Xiaopang did not have this concern. As soon as the news was received, the team immediately started marketing "Asian Superstar".

Although this title may be a bit empty, her current popularity is indeed quite high.

The benefits that "My Love from the Star" brought to her were definitely all-round and fundamental, which made up for her shortcomings, enhanced and consolidated her advantages, and gained a large number of fans.

At this moment, Fan Xiaopang really is determined to kill anyone who stands in his way.

All the four major actresses, four minor actresses, and actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan have to stay away from her.

She has already restrained herself and kept a low profile by calling herself "Asian Superstar" for Wei Yang's sake. If she continued with her usual behavior, she would probably have directly become "International Queen".

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

One is an Asian superstar, so the other one cannot be worse.

Wei Yang just wanted to be conservative, but the media, which was crazy about taking advantage of the popularity, also wanted to put him on the map, so Wei Yang got the title of "Asian Male God".

Wei Yang had a good attitude. Since he couldn't resist, he would just enjoy it quietly and then instruct the brokerage team to raise the price.

Are you kidding me? An Asian male god, an intercontinental level, can he be priced the same as the top domestic male 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 to Coca-Cola, Pepsi has always been keen on targeting celebrities, especially in China, where it is very keen on chasing after popular celebrities.

The earliest ones were Zhang Guorong, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Wang Fei. In the millennium, they piled up stars like crazy. Hong Kong’s Kelly Chen, Mr. Chen, Sammi Cheng, Jay Chou, and Asia’s top group F4 were all their spokespeople.

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

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

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

His endorsement of Pepsi not only demonstrated his popularity at the time, but also indicated that mainland artists were on the rise and the center of the Chinese entertainment industry was beginning to shift to the mainland.

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

Domestic entertainment is beginning to rise! After the official rhetoric of the person in charge was over and the media was free to interview, 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?"

"I am a loyal fan of Pepsi-Cola. I remember when I was a child, my family was not well-off, and I drank the beverage for the first time when I was in primary school.

What I remember most vividly is that my dad bought me Pepsi-Cola, and the spokesperson seemed to be King Liu. That was the first time in my life…”

Just kidding, Wei Yang is a professional screenwriter, and he can easily write a short essay in such an occasion.

In just a few hundred words, he not only expressed the importance of Pepsi to him, but also indirectly praised his father's love, and established an inspirational image of himself who had experienced hardships in his childhood but is now successful.

A ray of light in childhood, working hand in hand when growing up, what an inspiring and heartwarming story.

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

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

Only Fatty Fan knew him better and turned around to ask secretly, "Is this story true?"

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

"Why?"

Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!

"When I was a kid, this thing was so expensive that my dad couldn't bear to buy it. Even if he did buy it, it was a pirated copy."

When Wei Yang was a child, the beverages he drank most were the locally produced sodas, which were mixed with saccharin and pigments. They came in all kinds of flavors and cost only a few cents a bottle.

When children were young, they didn’t know anything. They would drink any drink or soda they were given, regardless of whether it was genuine or pirated.

Wei Yang didn’t remember whether it was in middle school or college when he first drank genuine Pepsi, but it was definitely not when he was a child.

When Fan Xiaopang learned the truth, he rolled his eyes wildly, saying that this bastard was so shameless.

But afterwards, she begged Wei Yang to give her the entire essay so that she could use it when she wanted to get endorsements.

Wei Yang didn't care, but he was not the kind of person who would easily write for others. If Fan Xiaopang wanted to write a short essay, he had to give him some inklings for his writing.

Fatty Fan agreed readily. It’s not like he hasn’t done it before, so he can just do 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 has always liked bundling advertisements, otherwise they wouldn’t sign a pair for every advertisement. They are going for the popularity of the two of them and “My Love from the Star”.

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

But when the two joined forces, Pepsi directly gave them both a two-year contract worth 18 million.

Among them, Wei Yang got 8.5 million and Fan Xiaopang got 9.5 million. If they came to negotiate individually, they might not be able to get such a good contract.

Not to mention Pepsi's subsequent series of new commercials centered around the two of them.

For artists, a brand of Pepsi's level means not only money, but also strong exposure. This advertising strategy is very beneficial to them.

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

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

Moreover, Fan Xiaopang's commercial resources are open to Wei Yang, and similarly, Wei Yang's resources are also open to Fan Xiaopang, and both parties can receive more brand endorsements.

Wei Yang was somewhat tempted. Why do many CPs or celebrity lovers/spouses often go out together, and even after divorce or breakup, they still insist on being "as loving as before"? It is because they can make more money by joining forces.

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

"My Love from the Star" is now very popular in China and even seems to be popular in Asia.

Wei Yang could certainly make a lot of money on his own, but working with Fan Xiaopang is the best choice to maximize profits.

"I'll report this to my family leader."

Although Wei Yang was tempted, he did not agree easily. There was no problem in joining forces, but the family had to be coaxed well. If he agreed rashly, it would easily cause trouble in the backyard.

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

Fatty Fan had a look of disdain on his face, and then he gently bumped into Wei Yang: "Why don't you just kick that girlfriend out, and we can become a couple, a strong combination, and earn more money and be more popular."

"Don't."

Wei Yang looked alert: "Sister, making money is making money, let's not do it seriously."

"Woman's kindness!"

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

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

Wei Yang would never obey. It would be a good opportunity for him to make money in the future, so there was no need to be so ruthless.

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

If Wei Yang really dumped his girlfriend for money, then he is a scumbag and has no conscience. No matter how handsome, rich, or talented he is, he is not someone you should befriend...
