Chapter 454  NEW AMBASSADOR

AFTER talking a bit more to their parents, they finally ended the call. And then, Astrid had to answer messages from his friends congratulating him. Finally, Ellis called him, updating him of the real-time reaction of the general public to the advertisement video.

"The overall reaction as of this time is pretty good," Ellis said. "Most of them are curious as to what kind of product the ad was all about. And that interest would then quickly transfer to you. As evidence of your growing followers on [Cyberspace] right now."

Astrid hadn't had time to check the reaction of the people on [Cyberspace] yet. So, he had no idea just how much the increased on his followers was.

"Are the billboards already available to the public?" he asked.

"Yes. They started to be unveiled around the capital one by one. Which in turn, would increase the buzz of this topic." Ellis seemed to be looking at something before adding, "I think it's already happening in real-time."

"Well, I just hope most of the reactions are positive."

"So far, it is. But you know how people are, there would definitely be negative opinions here and there. Especially since you're still a rookie who suddenly got such a big advertisement gig like this. The important part was to not be affected by it. Besides, once the sale of the perfume started and it became sold out, that would definitely shut up those people."

Astrid chuckled when he heard that. "Sister Ellis seemed to think that it would be definitely be sold out."

Ellis only raised her brow at him. "After watching that ad, don't you think so as well?"

Astrid only smiled. "Honestly, it did come to mind."

After he saw how well made the ad was, his first thought was, 'ah, EMMA will definitely make a lot of money from this'. With that, the quota they were asking of him – doubling their expected sales on the first month – would definitely be reached. Then, a million star coins would be added to his bank account.

He didn't really care much about the money. He just wanted to somehow 'face slap' all those people who decided to make that condition just for them to agree at the decision of him being their brand ambassador.

"At least with this, we don't have to worry about that damn quota they put in the contract," Ellis said, clearly thinking the same thing as him. "Don't worry, once they offer to extend your contract, I'll make sure to get them very best deal for you."

With the sales of this perfume line, add that to Astrid's increasing popularity, which would increase even more once [The Great War] aired, Ellis would definitely try to milk EMMA for as much money as she could.

The two of them talked some more before they ended the call.

It was only then that Astrid had time to check the reactions of the public in [Cyberspace].

He immediately saw the hashtag #EMMANewAd on the top 10 trending list. Even a hashtag #AstridforEMMA was in the top 20. This clearly showed just how many people were talking about this ad.

[Have you seen the new ad of EMMA? What the hell was that?]

[The model EMMA used this time was too charming! If I didn't see his face, I would think there were three different people in it. His vibe is just too different in each scenes.]

– [That's just a testament to how good of an actor he was. Btw, his name is Astrid Townsend. Do check out his works!]

[Wow. It's really Aster, right? Am I dreaming? Does this mean he became a model for EMMA? This is huge, right?]

– [It's definitely huge! We should start a trend campaign for him so more and more people would know who he is.]

– [I agree with the person upstairs. We should definitely do something to celebrate this achievement.]

[His name is Astrid Townsend? I just checked him, he's basically a newcomer. How did he end up as EMMA's model?]

– [They obviously picked him because he suit whatever it is he was modelling in that ad.]

– [LOL how else would a newcomer be able to bag this kind of gig? Of course, there's something dirty happening behind the scenes.]

– [I knew someone would say something like this. These people truly never learn. How can you say that even after watching the ad? Aster was definitely chosen after some kind of audition. EMMA must have wanted a fresh face for this product and they chose him.]

– [Right? It's like their blind to his talent and only see the fact that he's a newcomer.]

– [Just ignore those kinds of people. They probably just can't accept the fact that an 18-year-old is much successful than them.]

– [Wow. I didn't know Astrid Townsend's fans are this delusional.]

[Guys, have you seen the billboards???]

Attached below that comment were three moving pictures. The first one was of Astrid wearing what he wore on the first scene. He was looking coldly at the camera while he was holding a glass bottle with a blue hue and the logo of EMMA at the middle. Beside him were the words – [Eros] [Frozen Aquamarine].

The second one, he was wearing the clothes on the second scene while smiling brightly, full of warmth and cuteness. He was holding a glass bottle with a yellow hue and the same EMMA logo and there were also words beside him – [Eros] [Iridescent Opal].

The last one was the same as the two. Except that the clothes were from the last scene of the ad and Astrid had a sexy smirk on his red lips. The bottle he was holding had a red hue and the words beside him were – [Eros] [Midnight Onyx].

Before anyone could react to this post, EMMA's official account finally posted something.

[EMMA v: We would like to welcome the ambassador for our new perfume line, <Eros>, Astrid Townsend (@astridtownsend). Please, send him a lot of love!]

And once again, the public went wild because of this announcement. Surprisingly enough, amidst all this, Astrid's number one fan was nowhere to be seen.
