Translator: Lan_ Editor: Efydatia
The video was first released on the official website of the Olympic Organizing Committee. Five minutes later, it was also posted on Qin Guan's blog.
In half an hour, it had already gone viral online. In 2008, Chinese documentaries had reached a good level, so most of the audience was eager to watch it.
Nobody asked anything about the only star in the film. In their opinion, an internationally renowned star like Qin Guan deserved such an opportunity. All the feedback was positive. The foreign fans were satisfied with the clip the Chinese fans uploaded.
Soon, the clip was broadcast repeatedly on the large screen on Times Square. The foreign audience was shocked by it.
"This is the real side of China. It's so beautiful!"
"I like the red walls and the green tiles. They look really ancient."
"China is a developed country. Can you see the tall buildings and the traffic jam?"
"Dude, you are out of date. 2008 is China's time to shine. China is America's biggest creditor! It's no longer a poor country."
"Anyway, I want to visit China. I'd like to go to Qin Guan's hometown if I can."
"So do I."
Qin Guan had really contributed to Chinese tourism. The click rate on the website was increasing without a pause.
Air China took advantage of this to release its own ad. The ad was on every airport screen wherever there were Air China flights.
Passengers in different airports looked up with a yawn and saw a new film on the screen. As soon as they saw Qin Guan's face, they paused before the screen in excitement.
"It's Qin Guan!"
"Wow! Air China is so generous! They hired Qin Guan for their publicity campaign!"
"I'm so lucky. I considered it a tragedy when my boss told me to go on a business trip just after the Spring Festival, yet I got to see Qin Guan's new ad!"
The girl began to surf online, checking for relevant information.
"Ha! There has been no official release yet. I'll record it and post it online."
The lucky passengers at the airport began to show off online.
"Qin Guan's new film was broadcast at the airport!"
"Guess what I just saw at the airport? I only came here to see some friends off."
"I'm abroad, but I also saw Air China's ad. It's striking. So many foreign passengers are crowding around me!"
"I think Air China will become famous. Some tourists have already started looking for the airline's counter."
"Air China is really smart. They took advantage of the Olympics to reach new heights."
"Hey, everyone in the airport! Could you please be more careful with your phones? I can't see the video clearly!"
"Where's the official broadcast? I can't find anything on Air China's website."
Air China's technicians felt insulted. They were working on the website, but it would take some time before the video was uploaded.
Eventually, it was.
