Chinese BBStars appeal to commercial trend - Sam Flemming
From China Daily:
Last November, Chinese ‘net stars like the Backdorm Boys (ÂêéËàçÁî∑Áîü)were getting picked up by companies like Motorola to be spokespersons.
1010job.com picked up JuHua Jie Jie (ËèäËä±ÂßêÂßêÔºâthe William Hung for China) for a series of TVC’s earlier this year. You can see the video that made her a star here and two TVC’s here and here.
Interestingly, one of the earliest net stars, Fu Rong Jie Jie（芙蓉姐姐）, never made the cross over to significant commercial success.[full text]
