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...
"Hello, are you Luo Chen and Ling Hu's agent?"
Overnight, Luo Chen and Ling Hu seemed to have ascended from top-tier male stars.
In fact, netizens all know about them. They are very popular, handsome, and have a good relationship with Moonlight Girl.
However, the accompanying keywords include: their acting skills are not as good as the best but better than the worst. Although their transformation into actors has been quite successful, the first word that the audience thinks of when seeing them is still traffic.
This is the most uncomfortable point for Zhou Yiyang and Bai Yangyu.
It is much more difficult for them to get rid of the label of traffic than for Moonlight Girl.
But Zhou Yiyang didn't expect that these two people were only one commercial hit movie away from becoming actors.
Only one day after the release of "Wolf Warrior", the online evaluation of these two people changed drastically.
"Look at Mr. Zhou," Bai Yangyu randomly clicked on a film critic's Weibo and read out what he had written. "I used to think Luo Chen and Ling Hu were both good actors. People always say they're too handsome. But for an actor who's both handsome and capable, shouldn't we be even more excited?"
Zhou Yiyang smiled, crossed his arms, glanced at Bai Yangyu's disdainful expression, and couldn't help asking, "I feel like you're very resentful!"
"That's not true!" Bai Yangyu pursed his lips and continued, "You don't know, this film critic used to be really harsh in his comments about Luo Chen. He always said that he had a good appearance but zero acting skills. He also said that any freshman from the film academy could act better than him."
Zhou Yiyang smiled and continued, "That's an exaggeration. It seems like this person really likes to ride on the popularity of others?"
Bai Yangyu on the other side hummed, then continued, "Not only did he reverse his original statement today, but most importantly, he even deleted all his previous posts! He's truly a coward who dares to act without taking responsibility!"
Hearing Bai Yangyu say this, Zhou Yiyang on the side still had a very tolerant expression: "It doesn't matter. There are so many people trying to take advantage of the popularity. We can't arrest and interrogate everyone! Just get used to it."
Bai Yangyu sighed, a look of helplessness on his face. "Yeah, these people just follow the wind. Now that 'Wolf Warrior' is a hit, they immediately start praising them! But I really didn't expect this movie to have such a huge impact on them."
"Because for male actors," Zhou Yiyang said calmly as he sat down in front of his reserved seat, "awards aren't as important as for female actors. Look closely, which of those male actors who have been able to maintain their popularity hasn't had a few commercial blockbusters under their belt?"
"As for whether they won awards or not, the audience doesn't care at all. As for actresses, because most commercial films are just vases and can't bring in box office revenue, awards have become a competition for them."
"But for the Moonlight Girls, especially Tang Yue and Su Yin, their commercial performance is better than that of male actors of the same age, right?" Bai Yangyu actually understood this truth, but he did subconsciously think of the unique Moonlight Girls.
"They are indeed quite special. If we compare box office performance among actresses, no one can compare with them. However, the standard in the industry is still awards, so they can only be compared in that way. Fortunately, Su Yin's "Miss Fish" should win a few awards this time."
"Haha!" Bai Yangyu suddenly burst into laughter. "Looking at it this way, Mr. Zhou, although we haven't released many films this year, every one of them is a heavyweight! The two films in the first half of the year have received good reviews and are in the running for awards. And the summer movie 'Wolf Warrior' is a dark horse. Honestly, I can't predict how big it will be at the box office."
Zhou Yiyang smiled and said, "I can only say that the peers set off the competition well. I always thought the summer movie season was on par with the Spring Festival movie season, but no one else believed it. Now the summer movie season is dominated by one company, which I didn't expect."
Bai Yangyu sighed, thinking that the other companies must be jealous of Zhou Yiyang, who was enjoying the exclusive summer movie season. If they heard Zhou Yiyang's tea-like words, they would probably be furious.
But Zhou Yiyang didn't care about other people's opinions. He never did. He simply glanced at Bai Yangyu and asked, "By the way, you came in so anxiously just now. Did you want to tell me something?"
"Oh, after Wolf Warrior became a huge hit, several fashion magazines came knocking, wanting them to be their cover models. Plus, after the Coachella Music Festival went viral a while ago, Moonlight Girls also booked the cover of the September issue of the Big Five women's magazines."
Although Bai Yangyu looked down on those arrogant people in the fashion circle from the bottom of his heart, not only did they flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, they also liked to use some weird aesthetics.
However, they do have close ties with many luxury brands. For example, Luo Chen and Ling Hu recently signed an endorsement contract with a famous watch brand, which was arranged by Bazaar.
"Not bad!" Zhou Yiyang's expression remained calm after hearing this. "If that's the case, then next month, whether it's the men's or women's magazine, the cover will all be featuring Yiyang Entertainment's people?"
"Yes." Bai Yangyu nodded. "It's not an exaggeration to say that our artists have monopolized the domestic fashion industry."
"That's an exaggeration." Zhou Yiyang smiled. "Then let the four of them come back as soon as they finish filming. Filming is the most important thing. As for Luo Chen and Ling Hu, they should just focus on promoting the movie during this time. But they must not be photographed by paparazzi and affect the movie that is currently being released."
When Lin Xuan'er and her three sisters walked into the familiar "Vogue" building, they unexpectedly ran into Luo Chen and Ling Hu.
"Huh?" Tang Yue took a step forward, curiously sizing up the two now-internet-famous actors. "Are you filming with us? But I remember Brother Bai didn't mention anyone else when he told us about it."
"Is there a possibility," Su Yin pulled Tang Yue's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Maybe the magazines are different! They're featuring men's editions."
"Oh, oh, oh," Tang Yue suddenly realized, and then laughed: "I knew it! But you two are really amazing. The movie has only been released for one day, and it has become such a hit."
Luo Chen shrugged, revealing a helpless expression: "We didn't expect that! If we had known earlier that the reputation would change, all it would have needed was a commercial hit. I would have pestered Brother Yang to make a commercial film for me long ago. Why would I bother acting in those art films?"
"That's different," Wang Xingrui said softly, "Brother Chen, if you hadn't acted in those art films, your acting skills might still be the same as before, standing still."
At this time, the magazine's editor came out and interrupted them, saying gently and flatteringly, "Everyone, please come this way. How can I let you stand?"
