After the short film finished playing, there was silence for a long time.

Zhou Yiyang had no choice but to speak up at this time: "Everyone, we don't have to be so serious. If you have any ideas, please tell us."

Tang Yue was the first to speak: "I really like this short film. Although the plot is quite simple, it is really interesting."

"There's a lot of blank space," Wang Xingrui continued, "which allows us to use our own imagination. Most importantly, Xiao Xiao Su is so beautiful in this movie!"

"I feel like this doesn't resemble Director Zhang's previous style. His previous films were much sharper, like a knife." Lin Xuan'er chose her words carefully. "But this short film is special. How should I put it..."

"Restrained." Zhou Yiyang found a suitable adjective for her.

"Yes," Lin Xuan'er nodded. "She was very restrained. The finale was truly artistic. When Xiao Xiaosu first heard she was going to play a prostitute, I was actually very worried."

"Hehe," Su Yin actually said proudly, "I was just teasing you guys back then! If that kind of plot really happened in the movie, it would be difficult for me to accept it with my current identity."

"Yeah," Zhou Yiyang agreed, "That's where Director Zhang's brilliance lies. The role of a dancer is full of all kinds of fantasies, yet so pure. But after watching the short film, I also understand why Director Zhang insists on making short films."

Su Yin hummed. As an actress, she felt this deeply. "If this were a feature film, we'd definitely have to include a lot of plot lines. It might end up falling into a cliché, becoming just a story about her realizing her dream and leaving the mountains. That would actually affect the charm of the short film."

"Of course!" Tang Yue laughed. "Our little Su Dianping is becoming more and more stylish."

"Hi!" Su Yin smiled shyly, straightened her body, and said with a reserved look, "Excuse me, I've worked with great directors before, so it's normal."

Zhou Yiyang ignored their quarrels and said, "As for this film, just watch it and don't promote it yet. With Director Zhang's personality, I'm not sure if he will release it when the time comes!"

"Didn't you say you were going to participate in the competition?" Wang Xingrui looked over in confusion.

"There is a competition, but I recently learned that it's held in the United States. So whether it will be released in China depends entirely on Director Zhang's own decision."

"Ah." Tang Yue complained again, "It's very troublesome to work with such a willful art film director. His ideas can't be viewed from the perspective of ordinary people. But Xiao Xiao Su, Director Zhang shouldn't have done anything, right?"

Zhou Yiyang coughed lightly, fully aware of Tang Yue's hint. "You should stop reading gossip all the time. I've been living with Director Zhang every day lately, so I can't say I know him very well, but I can guarantee he's not that kind of person."

"Director Zhang's life is so simple. He films during the day and reads at night. Can you believe it? His suitcase is filled with books. On weekends, he'll make a long-distance phone call to his daughter."

"Yes, Brother Yang is right." Su Yin said seriously, "Director Zhang has never done anything to make me uncomfortable. On the contrary, his words and actions are always respectful to women."

"If that's the case," Lin Xuan'er subconsciously tightened her clothes, "was Feng Duoduo throwing dirty water at that time?"

"Wait," Zhou Yiyang interrupted the topic: "Let's not discuss this kind of thing. We are not the parties involved, so who knows what happened at the time."

Zhou Yiyang glanced at the time. It was already late, so he had to go upstairs. "Tomorrow, you will have a new mission."

"What mission?" the four people asked together.

"Record a new song."

"A new song?" Wang Xingrui was very happy to hear that she was going to sing. "Is it the song she's going to sing for the competition?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Lin Xuan'er shook her head. "Brother Yang was talking about recording new songs, which should be released soon. It can't be a warm-up for the second album, right?"

"How could that be?" It was Su Yin who spoke at this time: "Brother Yang wouldn't be so eager for quick success!"

Zhou Yiyang listened to their speculations, rubbed his brows, and then gave the answer: "Didn't we have to decide on the ending song for Ode to Joy before? I finally wrote it for you."

"Shall we sing the ending song?" Tang Yue asked in surprise and joy.

"Nonsense." Zhou Yiyang showed a look of concern for the mentally retarded: "Of course the ending theme song of your drama is for you. If I hadn't signed an agreement with Ling Hu in the first place, why would I give the theme song to him!"

Just as Zhou Yiyang guessed, Hello Tomorrow was already a huge hit before the TV series was even aired. It's easy to imagine how much more popular the TV series will be once it's released.

However, all this popularity belongs to Ling Hu, which is really enviable!

With anticipation, the four girls finally walked into the recording studio.

This should be the first time they have recorded a new song after the Spring Festival, and everyone's face is filled with joy.

However, compared to their first time going to the recording studio, they are now much more relaxed and casual, and their every move is full of confidence.

When the staff saw them, they would add the suffix "teacher" after their names to show respect.

The ending song Zhou Yiyang wrote for them this time is very easy to sing, the melody is very simple, and it can be perfectly reproduced with almost only a guitar.

However, beneath this simplicity lies a sincere heart.

When I came out of the recording studio, it was already evening.

By early March, winter had left Shanghai. Down jackets and cotton coats were still commonplace on the streets, but people's expressions had become much more relaxed.
