231 [Chinese Swordsman] Famous in America

United States, San Francisco

Tom and Jerry are good friends. They both have a common hobby, which is Chinese Kung Fu. Jerry likes Jack Cheng the most, and Tom loves Bruce Lee the most.

To this end, Tom also learned nunchucks. He once singled out two black gangsters and saved his goddess. Unfortunately, the goddess thought he was ugly and turned around and fell into the arms of a member of the school football team.

This hit Tom hard, and he wanted to get drunk. Unfortunately, the United States did not allow minors to drink, so he could only drink in frustration.

Jerry comforted his good brother and invited him to watch a movie, "Tomb Raider 1", which the two of them had already seen once.

Tom particularly likes Julie. For the sake of his good brother, Jerry found a theater that had not opened yet and took Tom to review the movie.

Frankly speaking, this movie adapted from a game was not favored by everyone when it was first released, even starring Hollywood's popular little girl Julie.

But after it was released, it took in 130 million box office in North America and 274 million worldwide, which was an astonishing profit.

This is also Angelina Jolie's first large-scale role in the industry, and she has since become a popular actress in Hollywood.

Seeing the cool beauties in leather pants killing each other, Tom finally felt much better. He found a small shop for shopping, planned to buy some food and drink, and invited his good friends to go home and play games.

As soon as I walked into the convenience store, I saw a stand with two Pepsi-Cola advertisements hanging on it.

The one on the left has blonde hair and blue eyes and a sweet smile. This is Britney Spears, who is well-known in the United States. The other one is a handsome yellow guy with black hair and black eyes, with a very cold face.

Tom didn't pay attention to who this Asian man was, but he was quite interested in the sword in his hand.

"Is this the Chinese sword in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? Why doesn't he have braids?"

"I have no idea."

Jerry shook his head. Although he also liked swords, he preferred Britney Spears. Looking at the photos of this handsome Asian guy and Britney Spears, he felt a little unhappy.

The salesperson saw the two people and greeted them warmly: "Do you also like that advertisement? It's so cool. It makes me want to learn Chinese Kung Fu too?"

"What ad?"

Tom looked at the salesperson who was gesturing with confusion. Seeing this, the salesperson asked them to wait for a few minutes.

The TV in the convenience store is an advertising display stand, which will regularly play products in cooperation with the convenience store, including the newly updated Pepsi-Cola.

"Come on, come on, watch TV."

After waiting for less than two minutes, it was finally replayed. The salesperson quickly reminded excitedly that Tom Jerry and several curious viewers looked at the TV.

So it was the scene at the beginning of the commercial where Cao Xuan had no money and Britney came to the rescue and made a cut.

Britney's bright and bright smile, which was forced to be retaken countless times by the director, immediately captured the hearts of most American gentlemen present.

"Oh, my sweetheart, I think I'm in love."

Jerry's face was full of sexual fantasies, and he was patted on the head by Tom: "If you use that disgusting tone again, I will use my sneakers to kiss your ass hard."

While the two were having a fight, the scene also switched to Britney being chased by gangsters and running away in a panic. While the audience was worried, Cao Xuan, who was lying on a chair on the beach and sunbathing, jumped up.

Thanks to his previous filming of a lot of martial arts dramas and the joint efforts of his two girlfriends at home, Cao Xuan dare not neglect his physical fitness and has always been in the habit of fitness.

Although the muscles on the body cannot be said to be well developed, they all have what they should look like, especially the chest muscles and abdominal muscles, which have been specially trained and the muscle lines are clearly visible.

That's why Cao Xuan dared to go shirtless for commercials, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to show off his flesh even with his bulging belly.

Cao Xuan stood up, stood in front of Britney, and loudly said NO to several gangsters. The gangsters were furious and punched. Cao Xuan used his fists and kicked the gangster Ah San three meters away.

“E color pants ng fu, Cool!!!”

The audience in front of the TV exclaimed in unison, and Tom and Jerry, who like kung fu, were even more excited.

The gangster in the advertisement saw how difficult Cao Xuan was, and suddenly took out a few baseball bats from nowhere. Ah San, who had just flown out, also got up and glared at him angrily.

Cao Xuan looked calm, kicked the sand under his feet, and a sword suddenly popped out. He unsheathed the sword gracefully, faced the gangsters who were rushing towards him, and knocked them all down with a few cool and sharp sword moves.

The most handsome thing was the fight against the last black man. The black man was frightened by the fate of his companions, and he screamed and smashed him.

Cao Xuan easily cut off the baseball bat in his hand with a backhand sword, and placed the sword across the black man's neck. Looking at the frightened black man, Cao Xuan changed his sword strength and knocked him down with the blade of his sword.

"roll."

The gangster fled in panic, while Cao Xuan and Britney continued to cut the advertisement.

The audience in front of the TV was still excited about the fight just now.

"Chinese Kung Fu, so cool."

"He is more powerful than Jack Cheng. I like that sword."

"The hero saves the beauty. It's so romantic. They must be together."

"I see the shadow of Zorro in this handsome Chinese guy. They are both brave swordsmen."

"..."

Tom and Jerry were also very excited, especially Tom: "I discovered that nunchucks are not as cool as swords. I want to learn swordsmanship. I want to worship this... What is his name?"

"Chris...Chao...Cao?"

Jerry looked at the name on the advertisement banner and spelled it out a little unfamiliarly.

"Cao, I want to take him as my mentor, defeat Spike on the football team, and let Tusi know who the real man is."

Tom made his vow and asked Jerry to go to Chinatown to buy swords tomorrow. They did meet two of the same kind. After watching the advertisement, they became interested in the swords and came to buy them.

Chinatown is no stranger to it. Ever since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became popular, foreigners have become interested in Chinese swords.

However, Cao Xuan's Pepsi commercial was a small boost, allowing the weapons store in Chinatown to hit sales for the second time after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

And Tom's performance is just one of thousands of Americans. This Pepsi commercial is a hit in North America.

Speaking of which, it’s not like Cheng Long and the others have never filmed similar Kung Fu commercials before, but they lacked the promotion capabilities of Pepsi and their influence was not that great.

Cao Xuan's work this time is relatively novel, and there are many popular elements, such as Chinese Kung Fu, heroes saving beauties, and handsome men and beautiful women meeting Barabala twice.

With the popularity of Britney Spears, the "Your Pepsi" ad slogan is also magical, and Pepsi's huge promotion, it soon became a hit advertisement and was aired on major TV stations in turn.

.

It’s not just the United States. It has also had a certain impact in other countries, but the most popular one is in North America.

The name Chris Cao entered European and American circles for the first time, and the Chinese swordsman who saved Britney became the first impression many Europeans and Americans had of him.

Later, someone found the DVD resource of "The Swordsman" and found the "past life" of the Chinese swordsman.

Although I can't understand most of the subtitles and dialogues, the martial arts movements are enough, and it is quite popular in the small circle. A group of people even practice "Nine Sets of Sword Techniques of Loneliness"...

………

Pepsi acted very quickly. The commercial was shot on August 1st and launched online in mid-August.

Originally, the main markets were North America and Asia. After the advertising became popular, it immediately expanded to Europe and other places.

There is also this commercial in China, and it is being broadcast by several TV stations, but it is a dubbed version. Cao Xuan is the original voice, and Britney found a girl to do it, and the voice is quite similar.

Unlike those overseas who pay attention to Chinese Kung Fu, Linghu Chong fighting a black gangster has no appeal to domestic audiences. Instead, it is the interaction between Cao Xuan and Britney that arouses discussion.

"Hey, your Pepsi."

"No, it's your Pepsi."

It became a new buzzword in 2001 and evolved into various versions, including homework version, change version, girlfriend version, mom and dad version...

I don’t know if the famous legal pioneer Zhang Snake Pao Wei will change his name to Zhang Pepsi a few years later.

In addition to this new slogan, the media also want to find out whether Cao Daguanren has taken the opportunity to win over the little queens of Europe and America. If the scandal becomes popular, it will be directly published in the international version.

The majority of male netizens expressed their support and hoped that Cao Xuan would continue his efforts and win glory for the country.

This is relatively rare, because there are too many scandals, and Cao Xuan's overall reputation among young men is average.

There are many people who like him, but there are also many who hate him, because their "goddess" is tied to Cao Xuan from time to time, and whoever sees it will not be offended.

That is to say, Cao Xuan is so talented that he can overcome all obstacles and single-handedly become the King of Asia. He is losing ground in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles, and many male netizens only look up to him.

After all, Cao Xuan VS Hong Kong and Taiwan male stars, many people still support their own.

Therefore, the discussion about Cao Xuan among male netizens on the Internet is basically polarized. There are mostly supportive voices in terms of career, character, and charity. Many people appreciate Cao Xuan's achievements, and even those who don't like him give positive comments.

But when it comes to relationships and scandals, they are basically criticized on one side, even by Cao Xuan's male fans. After all, they also have female celebrities they like.

Some people really hate it, some are envious of it, some people just can't stand it, and some people are making fun of it. Basically, Cao Xuan's reputation is about the same as that of Cheng Long.

One is Fang Shilong, who has ruined countless older generation Hong Kong and Taiwan female stars.

One is Cao Thief, who has captured many new-generation entertainment goddesses.

Cao Xuan himself felt that he was really unjust, but it also proved invisibly how stable he was as a scumbag. Cao Xuan doubted that even if it was revealed now that he had two things to do, no one would believe him.

It's not that it's impossible, it's that I don't believe that Cao Xuan can only ride on two boats...

However, this time, the majority of male compatriots gave him encouragement and support, hoping that he would quickly harm overseas female stars, leaving the domestic goddesses to everyone.

But the female fans of Cao Xuan quit, so what’s so good about foreign girls? They’re just an advertisement. Don’t think too much about it.

The two sides had a heated argument, and Britney's fame also skyrocketed in the country.

Cao Xuan never thought beforehand that he was in North America not because of his singing, but because of the popularity of Chinese kung fu.

Britney probably didn't expect that she, a European and American little diva, would become famous in China because of her scandal with Cao Xuan.

But aside from this, the two people's goal of using this advertisement to enter the European/Asian market has been achieved, and the effect is even better than they thought in advance.

Even Warner and Britney, who are behind the record label, Dongguan let the two tie up the idea of ​​​​hyping.

Britney used Cao Xuan's popularity to enter Asia, and Cao Xuan used Britney's popularity to enter Europe and the United States.

However, because the benefits were unevenly distributed, and speculation on CP was harmful to Britney's popularity, and it was not good for Cao Xuan's initial positioning in Europe and the United States, it could easily be seen as taking advantage of Britney's popularity, so in the end nothing was done.

But Pepsi is very satisfied with the impact of this advertisement, and plans to ask the two to shoot a sequel advertisement next year, and even plans to produce a joint special commemorative can.
