Reborn in a parallel world, Zhou Yiyang becomes the boss, manager, and errand boy of an 18th-tier girl group...
Who could have imagined that five years later, Zhou Yiyang's girl group swe...
"It's possible. Who knows if it will be another cutout movie?"
"I heard that fans visited the set and praised their performance!"
"As for the fans, even if it turns out to be a piece of shit, they will still say it smells good! Anyway, the trailer is only a few minutes long, and we will know what it is like soon."
At this time, Jiang Xiaoliang walked to the stage, pressed the play button, and then the trailer appeared on the big screen.
Zhou Yiyang was actually a little nervous. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and focused his gaze on the faces of the students and film critics. He could only judge their thoughts by their facial expressions.
Gradually, Zhou Yiyang regained his confidence and took out his hands that were originally in his trouser pockets.
During the funny parts, the whole audience burst into laughter. During the final showdown, he could sense that the audience's expressions were solemn at first, but then the moment the suona sounded, their expressions suddenly changed.
At the end of the trailer, he could sense that many people were still unsatisfied.
All this proves that their trailer was a success.
Students were clearly the ones who could relate to the film the most.
Youth film, two-dimensional, ancient style, folk music.
These seemingly niche elements actually have their own fans.
These elements were ignored in previous youth films, but Zhou Yiyang paid attention to them and filmed them.
He won the most sincere applause from these young people.
However, film critics had polarized opinions.
You can get a glimpse of this from the Weibo and Douyin public accounts they post.
@Mr. Ma talks about movies: Three minutes isn't long, but it's not short either. But the three-minute trailer for "Moonlight Girl" feels too short. This is a work filled with ambition and sincerity, and it's unexpectedly stunning. From the plot to the filming techniques to the editing, everything evokes a youthful vibe. I can't wait to see this youthful storm in theaters!
@Filmmaker Monthly: Gimmick-filled movies, like today's idol industry, are glitteringly packaged, yet you never know how many lice are crawling beneath the glittering hem. Idiot lines don't make for passionate moments, and folk music isn't a tool for styling new and different. Thankfully, this trial of my aesthetic taste only lasted three minutes.
@Watching Movies: As a 30-year-old 2D fan, I was deeply moved after seeing the trailer for "Moonlight Girl." I'm sure the finished film will bring me even more surprises. Who says chuunibyou can't be passionate? My only regret is that this scene, which expanded my aesthetic taste, only lasted three minutes.
@Teacher, who loves both good and bad movies: The most important thing about a movie is its theme. A trailer, as a distillation of a film's essence, should obviously include that theme. Sadly, I didn't see that theme in the trailer for "Moonlight Girl." Or rather, I only saw the usual commercial film tropes: unattractive protagonists, the dichotomy between the niche and the mainstream, and a vulgar embrace of popular culture. We all say that some people prefer highbrow and others prefer lowbrow. But I still want to plead for more highbrow, after all, we're all surrounded by lowbrow!
To be honest, even Zhou Yiyang himself did not expect that their trailer would cause such a big controversy.
After it was released on all platforms, there were more and more discussions about the trailer of "Moonlight Girl".
Many people like it and think the trailer is interesting and exciting and worth watching.
There are also many people who dislike it. Some stop watching after seeing the actors, some think it is cliché, and some simply dislike the two-dimensional world.
However, Zhou Yiyang directly told Bai Yangyu: "Don't try to influence public opinion, and don't delete comments. I think controversy is a good thing, and the more they argue, the more heated it will be."
"Of course," Bai Yangyu said, grinning from ear to ear. "Brother Yang, just look at this! Our hits across all platforms are almost over six million! I expect it to break ten million today. This kind of data is definitely only achieved by first-tier commercial films!"
This trailer also spread quickly in the circle. After watching it, Zheng Binbin felt that it was useless to deceive himself.
The seven, no, six female stars (Su Yin was still very happy after all) who were looking sad at the dining table, also gathered in front of their phones to watch the trailer and then expressed their praise.
"Is this extra spicy? Can't we have a shabu-shabu hotpot?"
