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...
"They are willing to give me a scholarship, but I can't leave my grandma alone if I don't go."
"My father and mother died when I was very young, and it was my grandmother who brought me up. She was very good at farm work, more capable than many men in the village. But she's old now, and I'm worried something might happen to her at home alone."
"What if you go to college?"
"We'll talk about it later. Maybe I can take grandma with me to the city where the university is. I can work part-time and earn money to rent a house for grandma."
"Okay, have you heard this song?" Zhou Yiyang just played it and the other party nodded. "So what do you think is the brightest star? What is it to you?"
"My parents in heaven, I guess. I can still remember what they look like, and they love me very much. If they were still here, grandma wouldn't be so tired. But I believe they must be watching me and accompanying me in heaven. They must be proud of me because they know I'm doing so well in school."
"Yes, I will."
Finally, Zhou Yiyang made a brief summary:
"Thank you all for liking this song. No matter what your star is, I hope you will never forget your original aspiration. Finally, I want to tell everyone that I will donate all the proceeds from "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" on Black Whale Music to Project Hope. I hope that my meager strength can turn into a star, leading these children out of the mountains and bravely pursuing their dreams."
Although some people in the barrage still criticized Zhou Yiyang, saying that he was exploiting charity. Others said that he donated money just to attract people to watch the movie, which was a business routine.
But judging from the likes and replies, most people should support Zhou Yiyang.
After watching the video, Su Yin sniffed, "Brother Yang is really good!"
At this time, there are still three days before the release of "Moonlight Girl".
"Old Bai, how much is the pre-sale today?" Zhou Yiyang asked immediately after finishing filming.
"It's 26 million now." Bai Yangyu said excitedly, "At this rate, we should be able to get 40 million in pre-sales before the release."
"How are the results?" Tang Yue had never followed movie box office figures, so she didn't quite understand these data.
"It's very high." Guan Fei answered her, and she directly brought out a series of data to illustrate: "The previous box office record for a youth film was 'Viva Youth', which took in 350 million yuan. The pre-sale box office before its release was only a little over 20 million yuan. In other words, as long as the film's reputation does not collapse, we should be able to break the record."
"Really?" Wang Xingrui started clapping. "I've seen 'Youth Without You,' and it's really just average. If the original novel hadn't been so popular, the box office wouldn't have been high. And I remember 'Youth Without You' only had a 4.6 rating on Douban. Our reputation can't be lower than its!"
"However," Lin Xuan'er said, taking everything seriously. She'd recently done some research on box office results. "I've heard everyone say that Douban ratings don't really correlate with a movie's box office. The real story lies in the ratings on various ticket-buying websites. After all, moviegoers and the general public have different tastes."
"Is that so?" This was the first time Su Yin had heard of this. "Our movie is getting quite popular with critics. I wonder if the audience won't like it?"
Zhou Yiyang interrupted them and said, "Don't worry. My reputation may not be that great, but it will definitely not collapse. Can you guys have a little confidence in me?"
"By the way, Lao Bai," Zhou Yiyang continued to ask, "How are the pre-sales for the movies that were released at the same time as ours?"
"Right now, none of them are as high as ours," Bai Yangyu added, "but we can't get complacent. After all, our pre-sales are high, partly because 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' is so popular, it's attracted a lot of people to buy tickets. Everything still depends on the audience's response after the release this Friday."
"Huh," Tang Yue sighed. "It feels like a war. The movie hasn't even been released yet, and I'm already getting nervous."
In addition to the movies released at the same time, several other film and television companies are also paying attention to the pre-sale performance of "Moonlight Girl".
For example, Hailang Entertainment.
Yes, Hailang Entertainment also invests in movies, but none of the movies released this week were released by it.
But next week, which is the New Year's Day holiday, a heavyweight commercial film "Undercover" will be released.
This movie happened to be invested and distributed by Hailang Entertainment. The heroine in the movie is Liu Xihe, the top star of Hailang Entertainment, one of the three big stars, third on the artist value list, and fifth on the super topic list.
Liu Xihe's agent comforted him at this time: "Xihe, we have nothing to be afraid of. Fans have already pre-ordered the movie. Once our movie is released, no one will watch Moonlight Girl anymore."
