Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Blanket Promotion, Daisy Cooper
The next day.
Billboards and bus stops all over the country were replaced by the same person, and someone even discovered that various appliance stores were all playing the same promotional video on any available screen.
Faced with this overwhelming advertising, the public just felt aesthetic fatigue and even annoyance.
Meanwhile, on Weibo, a purchased trending topic also debuted right on time.
[Entertainment Insider V: Today, all the ads across the nation have been switched to the female lead of the TV drama "Gale Realm" @Olivia Song. Looking at her ethereal presence, even from a photograph you can feel her gentle aura. The editor couldn’t resist checking it out. Fans who are interested, act fast.]
Already annoyed by these billboards, netizens couldn’t hold back after seeing this trending topic, and directly launched into sarcastic comments.
[Editor, are you blind? If this is ethereal, then putting a sheet over myself makes me a fairy too.]
[Feeling gentle through a photo? Is there a warm air blower built into the picture? It’s really cringy.]
[This is just ridiculous. It opens the door to absurdity and arrives at home—waking up only to see the same person’s face everywhere. You want to advertise, I get it, but consider other people’s feelings too.]
[Billboards, subway buses, big city screens—I tolerated them. But not even sparing breakfast shops and small kiosks, shoving a flyer into my hand when buying breakfast, now I’ve lost my appetite.]
[Are you kidding, I even see her when I go to the bathroom. Trying way too hard for fame, huh?]
[The funniest thing happened; I was on the bus today and an old man asked me who that girl was, and I went silent because I didn’t know either.]
[It’s hilarious, you probably can’t find another promotion like this in the entire entertainment industry—is this what wealthy people’s thought process is like?]
While some people were annoyed, others liked it. Fans who already loved Olivia Song for her wealthy heiress persona felt a sense of pride when they saw these ads.
[The people complaining above are probably haters—how can you diss such a gentle girl?]
[OMG, I’m dead! How can the goddess be so beautiful?]
[I never thought a wealthy heiress could also have such down-to-earth qualities.]
Seeing a wave of fans blindly praising, the netizens just felt speechless inside.
Is she so gentle and kind? Have you forgotten how she acted all high and mighty on set before?
Down-to-earth?
Just filming a show is called down-to-earth? Isn’t that just making easy money?
Yet it wasn’t over; the comments were already heated when the main figure posted a tweet.
[Olivia Song V: I come from the world among mortals, untouched by dust. Hello everyone, I am Rosalind Gale.]
Almost immediately, the top comments were filled with criticism.
[If Rosalind saw her own ghostly appearance, she’d crawl out of the book.]
[I know you’re rich and powerful, but please restrain yourself; I really don’t want to see you on Weibo.]
[With you starring in Gale Realm, the ratings are done for.]
I have to admit, though many netizens ridiculed Olivia Song, they indeed brought her a lot of attention, and even the drama yet to air gained popularity.
...
What was happening on Weibo was unknown to Olivia Song, as she was sitting with Claire Green in the airport lounge, surrounded by a tense silence.
Xu Lei walked over with water and saw that there was room for four or five people between them, pulling at the corners of his mouth.
He handed them the water and sat between them; there was no way he’d let other schools know that the two of them representing Brightsong were not on good terms.
"Do you have confidence?"
He looked at them both, breaking the silence.
"Don’t worry, Director. With Claire here, we won’t lose. What do you think, Claire?"
Olivia Song squeezed the bottle, softly tossing the question to the girl.
The next second.
The smile at the corner of her mouth froze.
"It was a fifty-fifty before, but now that Olivia is here, it’s hard to say."
Claire Green lowered her head slightly, glanced casually, and teased.
"Claire, are you complaining about me?"
Seeing them start again, Xu Lei felt exhausted; he regretted asking that question.
"Alright, before we board the plane, let’s review the material."
Soon.
Other schools’ teams also arrived gradually.
Seeing a girl lounging in a chair playing games, those students were a bit excited.
This was a true bigwig!
After hearing about her for so long from teachers, they finally saw her in person.
"Do you still remember me?"
Suddenly.
A figure appeared in front of Claire Green, staring at her excitedly.
Hearing the voice, the girl’s gaze finally moved away from the game, looking up to see a smiling, beaming face.
She thought for a moment, "Who are you?"
"We’ve met before at the airport," the girl chattered, "Several handsome guys came to pick you up that day too."
"So?" Claire Green raised an eyebrow.
The girl paused, then sat down next to her automatically, "So we have a connection. Let me introduce myself. I’m Daisy Cooper."
Upon hearing this.
Claire Green paused, a trace of mirth passing through her eyes.
Indeed, a perfect match—all within one sentence.
"The south wind understands my heart."
Her voice was low, tinged with a hint of amusement, making people’s hearts itch.
Daisy Cooper’s face quickly turned red, biting her lips shyly, "You also know that phrase."
Seeing the girl, who had just been so brash, suddenly become shy, Claire Green couldn’t help but think of Isabella Xyler being the same. The corner of her mouth lifted slightly.
She nodded with a soft hum.
Receiving a response, Daisy Cooper was immediately satisfied, sliding closer, "Can I call you Olivia? You have no idea how many people in our school admire you. Of course, I admire you too.
By the way, Olivia, how old are you? Do you have confidence in this competition..."
Listening to the non-stop chatter by her ear, Claire Green’s eyes filled with resignation as she softly interrupted, "With all that talk, doesn’t anyone find you annoying?"
As soon as the words fell.
The group of people standing nearby burst into laughter.
"Pardon us, Daisy is a chatterbox, we’ve gotten used to it." A boy spoke with a smile, "Hello, I’m William Dunn."
Thus began a large round of self-introductions.
You’d think they were at an interview if you didn’t know better.
"Ming Wan Xue, from Sixth High."
"Aiden Don, Seventh High."
"Hello, goddess, I’m Qi Qi, from Fourth High."
Watching the group only greet Claire Green, Olivia Song clenched her hands, showing envy in her eyes.
She had dealt with this group many times before, and each was arrogant beyond measure—why did they all become different around Claire Green?
All of this was noticed by someone.
Ji Ze raised an eyebrow, this was the white lotus Mason Quinn talked about; not impressive in appearance.
Originally, he wasn’t the teacher leading the Third High team, but a call from Jing Ye made him the lead.
Remembering the instructions from Jing Ye, he lazily yawned—plenty to keep him busy ahead.
"Why are you all gathered here?" Daisy Cooper finally shooed them away after they finished introducing themselves, "Don’t disturb me as I bond with Olivia."
"No one knows you here, what kind of bonding are you talking about?" William Dunn retorted bluntly.
Hearing this, Xue Mingwan and the others sighed, apparently used to it. "Here they go again."
As expected.
The next second, Daisy Cooper stood up, "Are you determined to go against me today?"
