- Abstract
Compared with the text advertising, in modern society, visual culture has become the mainstream form of advertising aesthetic. In recent years, with the rapid development of the digital entertainment industry, game characters and virtual idols gradually become important symbols for the communication of visual culture. They are widely used in advertising communication and brand marketing, and become an important part of entertainment marketing. This paper will explore the formation, development, and influence of virtual image endorsement, and take the Chinese AI spokesperson "Liu Yexi" as example to analyze how the virtual endorsement figures(communication strategy, character design, and other marketing schemes) support the visual cultural connotation of the new generation of "consumer idols". With the improvement of the acceptance of visual culture, virtual spokespersons will be favored by more advertising and product dealers because of their characteristics, such as being easy to shape and control, and will become an indispensable presence in the future entertainment marketing scene.
