The next day, it was time for the update of "Asian Horror Stories".
The TV series, which was previously using its popularity to promote its new album, suddenly attracted a wave of traffic thanks to the hot sales of the new album.
This operation was extremely enviable in the eyes of other people in the circle.
It is obvious to the naked eye that this year's hottest TV series and best-selling records will be won by Moonlight Girl.
Now the only shortcoming of Moonlight Girl is awards, and they are limited to film and television awards.
After all, they have already achieved a grand slam in music, and no one will question it.
As for film and television awards, we'll probably have to wait and see until the year after next. The top domestic winner next year should be "Dying to Survive." However, some believe Su Yin could snag a nomination based on her performance in "The Godfather."
For Moonlight Girls fans, they are not in a rush for awards. They have only been in the industry for three years, so their best days are still ahead of them!
When Zhou Yiyang was still playing with his mobile phone in the company, Bai Yangyu ran in with a smile on his face.
Seeing his excitement, Zhou Yiyang guessed that something good must have happened: "He's so happy, did he find some money when he went out?"
"It's more than just picking up money." Bai Yangyu rarely gets so excited that he forgets to control his expression. This makes Zhou Yiyang even more curious about what he found: "This is simply picking up a gold bar!"
"Oh?" Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Tell me more about it."
"Mr. Zhou, do you remember that streaming platform that ignored us? It's the one that threatened to block singles from any of our artists from being released."
Zhou Yiyang knew what he was talking about and nodded immediately: "You mean Spotify? So it finally gave in."
Zhou Yiyang turned his chair and chuckled, "I thought it could last a long time, but it collapsed after only two songs. But did you tell it about our copyright fees? Packaging the copyright of the entire Yiyang Entertainment is not cheap."
Zhou Yiyang offered Spotify a price that was almost three times what he offered Black Mirror Music. After all, he is a man who holds grudges.
"I told you," Bai Yangyu said with a wonderful expression, "I was chatting with them via email. In the past, when we sent an email, they would take several days to reply, and I would even suspect there was something wrong with their email. But today, haha, they replied to me within a few minutes, and the price was fine."
Zhou Yiyang felt it was a pity: "I should have asked for a higher level earlier."
"Mr. Zhou," Bai Yangyu continued, "I asked Sister Liu, and she said that because of the popularity of 'Stay' and 'Havana,' many people abroad have been forced to come to our app to listen to music. One song is fine, but after both songs became popular, people started browsing our platform."
"We recently bought the copyrights of a number of overseas artists, and they discovered that anything they can listen to on Spotify can also be heard on Moonlight. Furthermore, we have exclusive copyrights. Most importantly, Spotify members can only listen to music, while we can also watch movies and TV series. In comparison, Moonlight is a much better deal."
"Pfft," Zhou Yiyang found it hilarious. This is what they call stealing a chicken but losing the rice! "No wonder they want to shake hands and make peace. If all the users are lost, there will be no hope."
"Well, I think we might as well continue to be exclusive!" Bai Yangyu said softly.
"No," Zhou Yiyang shook his head. "We don't make money from this. What's important is awareness. There will always be users who only listen to Spotify and don't pay attention to the news. What we want is for our artists to be heard by more and more people. With high awareness, their commercial value will soar. Just wait and see, in a few days, maybe an international brand will come to us to sign an endorsement contract."
Bai Yangyu nodded, admitting that his business acumen was indeed not as good as Zhou Yiyang's.
Zhou Yiyang stretched and was looking forward to what the Billboard charts would look like in the next few weeks.
Soon, "stay" and "Havana" were available on Spotify and even became trending topics on Twitter.
Now even the small group of people within Billboard who hate Moonlight Girl have to start calculating the performance of these two songs.
"Havana" is okay, after all, it was released a day late and it didn't start out as a huge hit.
But "stay" is different. No matter whether it is the fans brought by Luo Chen and Ling Hu, or the loli fans they finally attracted, they are all fans with extremely strong fighting power.
They don't pursue eternity, but only rely on momentary passion.
After all these calculations, these people discovered that "stay" might be about to make history...
The two singers of this song were completely unaware of this. They had invited Yue Shao and his four friends and Zhang Yiling to their home, intending to watch "Asian Horror Stories" together tonight. This should be their most recent traditional entertainment project.
"Sister," Zhang Yiling sat next to Tang Yue and said gently and considerately, "I heard that you are afraid of ghosts. I am not afraid at all. Come sit with me later!"
Tang Yue nodded vigorously, looking at Zhang Yiling with eyes full of tenderness: "You are so kind, you are worthy of being my sweetheart! Unlike them, they are all waiting to see me laugh at you!"
Su Yin pretended to be sad and said, "I always only see the new people laughing, but never the old people crying. It's really true! Xuan'er, we have been abandoned!"
Lin Xuan'er pinched her nose and agreed with Su Yin's performance: "Yeah, then we might as well just digest it internally!"
Wang Xingrui laughed non-stop at their crude performance, but she didn't forget to send a message to Zhou Yiyang: "Brother Yang, we've prepared delicious food for you when you come back!"
Zhou Yiyang, still on the road, smiled. He really didn't understand why they loved group activities so much. Aren't horror movies most fun to watch alone?
However, Zhou Yiyang urged the driver to drive faster and quickly returned home.
He took a shower and changed his clothes before coming to Luo Chen's villa.
Since they were invited by Luo Chen and Ling Hu, they didn't feel comfortable asking Wang Xingrui to cook. Their so-called dinner was just takeout from a nearby hotel.
Zhou Yiyang didn't care, as long as it tasted good.
After taking a bite, Su Yin nodded: "Not bad, but unfortunately not as fragrant as Ruirui's."
Wang Xingrui chuckled and said, "Of course not. Every time I cook, I put a lot of love into it."
After a while of noise, they ended the dinner.
Finally, everyone sat in front of the TV, opened the software as usual, and waited for the update of "Asian Horror Stories".
Guan Fei was observing the backend data at this moment, and was not surprised to find that compared with the number of views in the previous two weeks, the number of online users on the website had broken the record before the show even started this week.
There is no doubt that this is a bonus after the album sold well.
