As soon as Zhou Yiyang arrived in Havana, Moonlight Girl once again became a hot topic.
"Brother Yang," the person who called was Guan Fei. Her voice was shaking a little when she spoke, not because of fear, but simply because of excitement: "Just now, Yue Shao and the others were on the hot search again."
Zhou Yiyang was incredibly calm. Moonlight Girl trending on the hot search list was nothing new to him, so why was he so upset? "Did someone hack us? Our current PR team earns so much, they can't be so incapable of handling something like this, right?"
Zhou Yiyang spoke as he strolled through the streets of Havana.
To be honest, this city is quite different from what he imagined. The Havana he imagined is more like what is described in those old American movies, full of a unique style.
However, when he came here, he found that if he only counted the more prosperous areas of the city, it was actually not much different from those modern cities in China.
However, when he passed by the doors of many stores, the songs coming from inside never disappointed Zhou Yiyang. They were all "Havana" by Moonlight Girl.
It seems that this song has almost become a representative song in this city.
Guan Fei on the other end of the phone knew that Zhou Yiyang was busy and naturally wouldn't take the time to chat with her, so she got straight to the point: "Brother Yang, do you know that there's a music competition in Europe every year?"
Zhou Yiyang nodded. He was quite familiar with this. It had previously been jokingly called the European Youth Song Contest. It was also a program that invited singers from all over Europe to compete on the same stage.
However, European singers are far less well-known in China than American singers, so this competition is not very well-known.
"The competition has been changed this year. I heard that there's a very powerful boss behind it who is investing money and planning to turn it into a global event."
"Global?" Zhou Yiyang stopped at the door of an ordinary-looking restaurant.
It wasn't because he saw the beautiful Cuban-looking waitress standing at the restaurant's entrance. It was simply the aroma emanating from the restaurant that made him suddenly hungry.
"Yes," Guan Fei continued, "It's like the World Cup, divided into three major regions! There are Asia and Africa, Europe, and the United States and Australia. In the end, the world's top singers will gather together to decide the winner."
"It sounds interesting. However, the investment in this program must be quite high, and the fairness of this kind of music competition is very questionable. I think it's all talk and no action." Zhou Yiyang's evaluation was very objective. If a competition like this involving national honor cannot appear fair, then it will definitely not attract much attention.
"I don't know about that. But it must have bought trending searches in China. I think the attention was quite high. And then a lot of people nominated Yue Shao and asked the four of them to participate in the competition." Guan Fei said seriously. "Anyway, after the discussion, everyone thought Yue Shao had the highest chance of winning because he was the most versatile."
"Let's not respond yet," Zhou Yiyang said after sitting down in the restaurant. He looked at the text he couldn't understand and chose the simplest and most direct way to order food: using his fingers. "This, and this."
The beautiful waitress smiled and went straight to the kitchen.
"This trending search might have been bought by the organizers, hoping to capitalize on their popularity! I'll look into it in the next few days. If the rules are good, we can participate. I might even invest. But if it's a scam under the guise of a competition just to cash in on the hype, we can't fall for it."
Zhou Yiyang's words woke Guan Fei up. She was so happy when she saw the trending search that she didn't even think of this.
After she hung up the phone, she reflected deeply: "Yeah, how could I forget? Now that they are so popular, there must be people abroad trying to take advantage of their popularity!"
Wang Xingrui did see the trending search, but they were all preparing for the Victoria's Secret show and could only chat during breaks.
"This competition feels like it's tailor-made for us." Tang Yue said in a low voice after seeing the trending search.
"Why?" Lin Xuan'er didn't quite understand what Tang Yue said and asked immediately.
"Don't you think that the rising popularity of us is inseparable from various competitions? But to be honest, when the four of us are together, we are not afraid of anyone in the competition." Tang Yue explained confidently.
"That's true," Su Yin nodded. "Among the artists nominated under this Weibo post, we should have the most experience in competitions. But I don't feel comfortable promoting the competition by putting us directly in the hot list."
"Yeah," Wang Xingrui nodded. "And there aren't any rules or selection criteria. And under this trending search, a lot of people are assuming we'll be there. It's so weird."
The four of them were quite calm and were not carried away by the enthusiastic cheers of netizens.
They hadn't rested for long when the teacher who was responsible for teaching them how to walk on the stage looked over at them again.
Except for Tang Yue, the other three people all showed expressions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"I really don't understand," Wang Xingrui said, feeling her legs ache. "We're not going to Victoria's Secret to be angels walking in the fashion show, we're going to sing. Is catwalk important?"
"Brother Yang asked us to do this, so he shouldn't lie to us." Su Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe it's to increase the effect of the show!"
"Indeed," Lin Xuan'er agreed. "I dug up performance videos from the Victoria's Secret shows from a few years ago, and only a handful of singers actually walked the runway. Most people sang and danced in the middle, feeling like outsiders. If we could blend performances and the runway show, the effect would definitely be great."
The teacher laughed after hearing their discussion and said, "It's a good thing that you have this awareness. What we want to do this time is to make sure that all the foreigners who watched the Victoria's Secret show will remember you."
Tang Yue clenched her fists excitedly: "Of course we will, from now on we will be an international girl group!"
…
At this moment, Zhou Yiyang was eating in a restaurant in Havana and drinking soup. Unexpectedly, the waitress came over again and this time she took out a pen.
When Zhou Yiyang looked confused, the other party used the translation tool on his phone to communicate with him:
"I know you. You're the author of 'Havana'. You're as famous as Moonlight Girl! You're even more handsome than the pictures online. Can you give me an autograph?"
Zhou Yiyang nodded. He never expected that one day he would be recognized by someone abroad.
But he didn't expect that the enthusiastic waitress wanted Zhou Yiyang to sign her collarbone.
Anyway, the process was quite ambiguous.
After signing, the other party kissed Zhou Yiyang excitedly before leaving with a smile.
Zhou Yiyang wiped the lipstick marks off his face and had to admit that this was a really passionate city.
