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...
Three days have passed since the end of "This is the Singer".
As Zhou Yiyang expected, the singles sung by the three of them on the show all achieved good commercial results.
After winning the title of King of Singers, Helian Bei’s commercial value reached a new level, and he directly obtained the endorsement of several first-line men’s clothing brands.
Lin Xuaner and Wang Xingrui also benefited greatly, and they received numerous invitations to music variety shows.
"I took a look," Guan Fei sighed, looking at the various messages she had no time to reply to. "Their party schedules alone are already booked until the end of the year. And these organizers are so cunning that they even specifically note that there will be separate stages for groups and individuals. They are clearly the ones making the profit this way."
"Isn't this perfectly normal?" Zhou Yiyang chuckled. "Everyone knows Moonlight Girls performs well, so of course they're going to try to get her. Their mentality is that if they can't invite all four, then inviting just one person won't be bad either. Their combined traffic isn't bad either."
"However, they don't know that President Zhou has already made clear arrangements for them in the second half of the year." Guan Fei said with a smile: "After the graduation party, they will stay on the crew and film until the end of the year."
"Don't forget," Bai Yangyu reminded him, "the third album could be released at any time. They'll still be promoting it then, right, President Zhou?"
"Well, the release date and method of the third album haven't been determined yet." Zhou Yiyang twirled his pen for a moment before saying, "The most urgent thing is to make the final preparations for the graduation party."
"Okay!" Guan Fei and Bai Yangyu agreed, and then continued to concentrate on their work.
Zhou Yiyang walked around the office, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and decided to go out for a walk.
As luck would have it, after finishing their rehearsal, Yue Shao and his three friends also wanted to go out and relax.
"Everyone understands," Tang Yue said cautiously, afraid the staff around her would overhear. "When President Zhou becomes Director Zhou, his personality changes drastically. On the set, we don't have a single day off! We've already practiced the songs for the graduation party, so we might as well take this opportunity to go out and have some fun."
"I think it's good," Su Yin nodded. She felt like she hadn't eaten and shopped at the same time for a long time. "Besides, it's only half a day, so it's a good combination of work and rest, right, Xuan'er?"
Wang Xingrui laughed when she heard this and looked at Lin Xuaner: "Xuaner, let's go out and play together! Tangtang and Xiaoxiaosu have been training really hard lately."
"Hey, I didn't say no." Lin Xuan'er shrugged helplessly. "Why do you act like I'm the bad guy? So where do you want to go? Preferably somewhere with fewer people. If someone recognizes us, we'll be in trouble."
The four of them immediately recalled an experience where they went to a concert with Zhou Yiyang, and were recognized midway, causing a commotion and being politely asked to leave the venue.
Sometimes having too many fans is not a good thing.
Tang Yue subconsciously opened her phone and planned to check her Moments to see what everyone was doing, only to find that Zhou Yiyang had just posted an update.
[The sun is shining, give yourself a half day off.]
"Hey, look, Brother Yang is on vacation too!" Tang Yue excitedly raised her phone, like a poor student who discovered that the good students hadn't done their homework. "Why don't we ask Brother Yang?"
Zhou Yiyang, who was drinking tea and playing with his mobile phone in the sun, experiencing the life of a retired cadre, glanced at his phone and sneered.
"It's fine if you're lazy, but you still have to ask me what I'm doing."
He quickly sent a message.
After receiving the news, the four of them gathered together to watch it.
"Brother Yang is actually drinking tea by the river?" Su Yin was shocked. "Isn't his hobby too old-fashioned?"
"I thought my dad was the only one like this." Lin Xuan'er whispered. Every time he had a holiday, his dad would go out to drink tea, play cards and go fishing.
Who knew Zhou Yiyang would reply, "Lao Bai just introduced me to a farm stay. Do you want to go? It's run by someone in the industry, so he's not afraid of reporters coming."
The four of them had their eyes light up. The last time they went to a farm stay was when they were recording "Longing for the Days".
"It would be nice if Tianjiao was here." The four of them took a taxi to meet up with Zhou Yiyang. Wang Xingrui inexplicably thought of Chu Tianjiao.
"Tian Jiao definitely wouldn't want to go," Tang Yue said firmly. "She stays in places like this every day. She must think we're bored. But Tian Jiao seems to be quite popular abroad now, right?"
"Yes," Lin Xuan'er nodded. "Brother Yang opened a channel for her on Youtu.com and uploaded her short videos. It attracted quite a few viewers from abroad."
"That sounds like it," Su Yin chuckled. "People in our company are quite popular overseas?"
There is no need to talk about these four people. Their popularity in Asia has surpassed Working Girls and they have become the most popular girl group.
Luo Chen and Ling Hu became the top stars in Siam, and their CP fans dominated everyone else.
Now Chu Tianjiao also relies on her short videos of rural life to export overseas, and Yi Yang Entertainment's overseas business is indeed very strong.
After they met up with Zhou Yiyang at the teahouse, Zhou Yiyang kindly asked, "Would you like some tea before you leave? It's quite delicious."
"No need," Wang Xingrui waved her hand. "Just sit down and play a game of mahjong."
"Haha," Zhou Yiyang was amused. "Mahjong is a must in the farmhouse. Let's go play there later."
They got on Zhou Yiyang's private car and headed to the farm house on the outskirts of the city.
"Brother Yang," Tang Yue leaned over Zhou Yiyang's chair curiously, "Who owns this farm stay? I just checked Weibo and saw that many celebrities have visited there."
"It's opened by Milan," Zhou Yiyang said casually. "These big names probably realized that the books that suit them are becoming increasingly scarce, so they've started to cast a wider net to do business. I wonder if she's here today. If she is, it wouldn't hurt for you to chat with her."
"Brother Yang, if you were here," Su Yin said with a sly smile, "Sister Milan is looking for you to chat too!"
"That's not necessarily true," Zhou Yiyang shook his head. "They're still a bit proud of their status. Besides, I don't have many resources suitable for female artists to share."
This is the truth. There are female characters in the script, and the first thing Zhou Yiyang thought about was how to squeeze the four of them in. If they really weren't suitable, he would also consider actors from his own company, such as Qiao Zishan and Pang Li.
A big star like Milan would definitely not want to play the supporting role of Yue Shao. But letting her be the heroine? Zhou Yiyang was no fool.
Actors like them who have extremely high status but declining popularity are the least cost-effective.
Finally arriving at the farmhouse, Zhou Yiyang closed the car door before getting out: "I just asked someone to prepare some clothes, you can change into them before getting out. Wearing a skirt to the farmhouse is too boring."
