Aaron Kwok stars in football themed Pepsi spot created by Civilization Shanghai
Pepsi are not the official sponsors of the FIFA World Cup, but it does outsell the other cola in China. With Chinese football fans burning the midnight oil to wait for kickoff, Civilization Shanghai created this Pepsi spot for China instead of just doing a global adaptation.
The ageless Aaron Kwok, one of the original “Four Heavenly Kings”, who has won every award in the Chinese entertainment world with his music, dance choreography and acting, anchored the campaign. He leads a superstar cast of Jolin Tsai, Show Lo, Momo Wu and Xiao-Ming Huang in a sci-fi football dance-off that taps on the up-tempo music and video games loved by Chinese youth. The dancers featured are world-renowned in their respective dance genres.
