Chapter 162: Palace Fighting Drama

Nowadays, almost half of the gossip bloggers in the entertainment industry are supported by the artists of Yi Yang Entertainment.

Although they could not get any information about Moonlight Girl's upcoming headlining performance at the Coachella Music Festival, they did learn through their own channels that Moonlight Girl was preparing a new TV series.

The summer season is always the most important time period for the film and television industry.

The vacation is long enough, and the students who watch movies are the most loyal and most easily addicted group of people.

It can be said that whoever can win the summer season almost means that it has completed most of its KPI this year.

Zhou Yiyang learned from Bai Yangyu that there are said to be more than a hundred movies scheduled to be released during the summer vacation.

However, the summer box office, like the Spring Festival box office, is a winner-takes-all period, and many speculate that only one film will emerge victorious from this period, likely to become the box office champion of the year.

What everyone is most optimistic about is naturally the movie produced by Yi Yang Entertainment. It would be even better if it was directed by Zhou Yi Yang and starred Moonlight Girl.

However, judging from the current information, it seems that Yi Yang Entertainment has no movies scheduled for summer release.

This even caused protests from many fans. When Zhou Yiyang checked his Weibo, he saw insulting words against himself.

"Mr. Zhou, our company is now shifting to making art films instead of commercial blockbusters, right?"

"It's bad enough there aren't any movies for the Spring Festival, but why are there no plans for the summer season? Can making a few movies that will go down in history be enough to make a living?"

"Mr. Zhou, our Luo Chen isn't an actor. He really can't follow Su Yin's path. Can you film some commercial blockbusters for him?"

"Mr. Zhou, why is there no news about the big movie starring Ling Hu that we promised last year? An artist's blooming period is so short. I hope Mr. Zhou won't delay him!"

These remarks kept coming out one after another, making Zhou Yiyang feel helpless.

In fact, Luo Chen and Ling Hu’s movie is almost finished. If the timing is right, it should be released in August, just in time for the second half of the summer season.

However, Moonlight Girl's new movie probably won't start filming until July or August. Zhou Yiyang thought for a while and decided to make it a Spring Festival movie next year.

However, what major marketing accounts are most concerned about is the TV series that Moonlight Girl is currently filming.

The marketing accounts don't know how much investment this drama has attracted, but they do know that this drama is a harem time-travel theme that is rare on TV screens in recent years.

That's right, this type of drama, which was once extremely popular on Earth and dominated TV screens for many years, is a lukewarm existence in this world.

When the marketing account's Weibo post was released, netizens were all surprised.

"Palace fighting drama? What kind of unpopular theme is this? Zhou Yiyang really has too much money and doesn't know where to spend it!"

"I'm really impressed. Costume dramas have been obsolete for a long time, but Zhou Yiyang actually filmed the least popular palace fighting drama among costume dramas. Which man would watch this kind of drama?"

Gu Kui

"Alas, as a Moonlight Girl fan, I can only hold my nose and watch the show. I just hope that this show can make the four of them look better. It's still good to watch it drool!"

"I heard that China Channel 8 spent a fortune buying this drama, betting on it being a huge hit during the summer season! I think it's ridiculous. How could students like this kind of subject matter?"

It can be said that public opinion this time is still one-sided, but it has all leaned to the opposite side.

"This is strange," several actresses sat on the set, gazing at the four beauties from afar. Though they were all young actors, their status and achievements were beyond their reach; they could only look up to them. "Why is public opinion so negative? I remember when President Zhou made these unpopular films and TV series, most netizens were quite optimistic!"

"Yeah," another actress frowned. Her agency had paid a fortune to land her the role of a maid in this drama. She wasn't seeking stardom, just visibility. "Netizens used to say that with Mr. Zhou's dramas, you can ignore the subject matter!"

The oldest actress among them paused and whispered, "Is there a possibility that netizens feel that even Zhou Yiyang can't save this story?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present had complicated expressions.

Compared to the concerns of these young actors, Yue Shao and his three companions were much calmer after seeing the online discussions.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like we have to go against public opinion again this time." Tang Yue raised the corners of her mouth. From the look of her face, she seemed to be quite looking forward to this result.

"Isn't this great?" Su Yin was fiddling with her headdress at the moment. It had to be said that this thing on her head was really too heavy. Su Yin always felt like she was carrying it on her head as she moved forward.

But every time she stood in front of the mirror and saw her new look, she felt that the heavy clothes were worth it.

Even she herself felt that she looked much more beautiful.

"The more pessimistic they are, the better!" Su Yin smiled. "That way, when the film comes out, there will be a contrast, and it will amaze everyone."

Wang Xingrui on the side chuckled, then looked at Su Yin beside her: "Xiao Xiao Su, don't you realize that your tone and the words you said now give people the feeling of being a villain."

Su Yin cried out and looked at Lin Xuan'er for help.

Lin Xuan'er nodded and spoke the truth, "That's true. It feels like you've already gotten into the role. That's something we all want to learn from you."

At this time, Zhou Yiyang walked over. He happened to hear their conversation and looked at them curiously: "It seems that you already know what is being said online?"

"Yeah," Tang Yue nodded. "They're all pessimistic about us. Maybe it's because this subject matter has never been popular."

"But it's not particularly unpopular," Lin Xuan'er added. "It's the kind of thing people keep filming, but few people watch. This kind of subject matter is even more terrifying than unpopular subjects. There's no upper limit, and it's so low. No wonder everyone is pessimistic about it."

"But you've already filmed so many dramas, I don't think you'll be so easily influenced by public opinion." Zhou Yiyang smiled and continued, "So we don't need to respond to anything, just continue filming as planned. Speaking of which, this should also be your first time filming a costume drama?"

The four of them nodded. This was why they were so excited when they put on the tailor-made and carefully researched clothes.

In fact, once their makeup photos are posted online, public opinion will definitely change.
