Who could have imagined that five years later, Zhou Yiyang's girl group swe...

Chapter 424 The Importance of Popularity

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen five major magazines invite a celebrity at the same time."

Bai Yangyu walked into the office. It was already the second day after the competition.

The discussion about the World Championship on the Internet has been going on for a long time. Some people questioned the competition system, opposed the idea that popularity determines everything, praised Moonlight Girls, and denounced the boy group... It can be said that the subsequent heated discussion was beyond Bai Yangyu's expectations.

He even suspected that after the new episode aired next week, the discussion would continue seamlessly.

"What's the big deal?" Zhou Yiyang said with a smile as he sat in his seat. "For them, this might just be the beginning."

"That's true," Bai Yangyu nodded. "Although this is outrageous, it's understandable if it applies to Moonlight Girl. Mr. Zhou, have you decided on the cover yet?"

Zhou Yiyang smiled, raised his eyebrows, stretched himself in his seat, and then continued:

"I haven't decided yet. But I thought about it, since they were the ones invited and competed for, why not just give them the opportunity directly?"

On the other side, Tang Yue sat on the smooth floor, the corners of her mouth constantly raised, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles:

"Hahaha, everyone, did you hear what Brother Yang said? This time we get to decide what will be on the cover."

"Why don't you decide?" Lin Xuan'er saw through Tang Yue's thoughts at a glance. For her, this opportunity should be something she would love to have, right?

Su Yin hummed, not having any objection to this move: "Let Tangtang decide. She has much more experience in this area than us."

Wang Xingrui, who was warming up her voice, also laughed. "Yeah, Tangtang, you have the final say on which cover we're on. You know the fashion industry best here."

At this time, Tang Yue lowered her head in a pretentious manner, but in fact, she was almost unable to hold back her smile:

"Of course, of course no problem! Do you know how significant it is that five major magazines have invited us together? This is totally worth it for Brother Yang to buy us a trending search and write us up!"

However, Lin Xuan'er couldn't help but remind her, "Tangtang, those of us in the industry certainly know the importance of fashion resources. But for ordinary people, they might not even know what these five major magazines are."

"Yeah," Su Yin nodded. "If this really became a trending search, passersby would probably be filled with questions. They're just a few magazines, why are they being praised so highly?"

This remark actually woke Tang Yue up: "Yes, we still need to keep a low profile for now. Oh, right? If our fans knew that we weren't rehearsing, not preparing for the next competition, and were instead shooting magazine covers, they wouldn't scold us, would they?"

Wang Xingrui beside her hummed, "If we don't rank well in the next round, it's definitely possible. But I think we should still have enough time."

Tang Yue thought deeply for a while, and finally said:

"In that case, I think we should choose Vogue. It has the highest reputation, the highest level, and the quality of its finished products has been the best in recent years."

The others nodded, seemingly having no objection.

Zhou Yiyang quickly received a reply from Tang Yue, and he accepted Tang Yue's suggestion without hesitation:

"Okay, Old White, please give your suggestion to Vogue. Oh, and remember to ask them to find a good photographer. If the final result isn't good, I'd rather not have this cover."

Bai Yangyu naturally agreed immediately and then went back to his work.

Zhou Yiyang continued to deal with the issue of advertisements. Perhaps he should increase the time for advertisements? But if he did that, would there be complaints from the audience?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yiyang felt a little annoyed.

The most painful thing for a person is definitely not having money, but not being able to earn money that can be earned.

However, Zhou Yiyang quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, for him, money can be earned in the future, but if he loses his popularity, it will be the end of him.

"Mr. Zhou," Guan Fei walked in, pushing the tablet in front of Zhou Yiyang. "Jin Xiuyu and Dolores just posted a tweet with photos of them with Moonlight Girl. Do you think we should take this opportunity to market this?"

"Do you think the contestants have a good relationship with each other privately?" Zhou Yiyang shook his head. "I don't think it's necessary. Our show is still a competitive one after all. No matter how close the relationship is, there will come a day when they will compete on the same stage and fight to the death."

"That's true," Guan Fei was convinced by Zhou Yiyang. "But the four of them are really popular with the public. I took a look at the comments below these two tweets, and they are all praising the Moonlight Girls for their hospitality. Even Jin Xiuyu's fans are particularly nice to Moonlight Girls."

"That's because their songs are very popular," Zhou Yiyang said softly, "Netizens are actually quite positive towards singers with hit singles like this."

"Yes, that's why the work is king. Popularity gained through marketing is not enough after all." Guan Fei seemed to be hinting at something.

xxoo, as a popular boy group, has had a hard time these past two days.

Whenever they speak out on social media platforms now, the comments section will immediately be filled with passers-by scolding them.

Even though their fans are known for their ability to control comments, they are now somewhat powerless in the face of the overwhelming number of passers-by.

"They sang really badly." Zhou Yiyang's answer was quite blunt and unsympathetic: "If they sang better, there wouldn't be so many people criticizing them."

"Now I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that the fans sent them to the next round."

"Yeah," Guan Fei continued, "Actually, being eliminated isn't entirely a bad thing. Take Qin Lin, for example. I think his new single released today is incredibly popular. It's safe to say that through our show, he's gone from a nobody to a top-tier star!"

"You've been focusing all your energy on others, so why are you letting your own artists go?" Zhou Yiyang looked at Guan Fei in mock anger. "They're going to shoot the cover soon. Did you know about this?"

Guan Fei exclaimed, "Mr. Zhou, of course I remember. I will definitely go with them later!"

After Guan Fei left Zhou Yi Yang's office, she went to the training room to wait.

Watching the four of them rehearsing, Guan Fei already showed a satisfied smile.

Given their current state, it is almost certain that they will advance to the next round of competition.

"Let's go," Guan Fei pushed the door open and walked in, distributing the sports drinks she had bought to everyone. "Take a shower and make yourself smell good. We're going to shoot the cover! The editor-in-chief of Vogue just called and said she can't wait!"
