It was the first time that Zhou Yiyang read a film review so calm and composed. He was not only confident in the story itself, but also in the acting skills of several actors.
Especially Su Yin, whether this play can hold up depends on her outburst at the critical moment.
To be honest, before the show was broadcast, Zhou Yiyang felt that no one would believe Su Yin's age and background when she played a rural teacher.
However, after the show was broadcast, Zhou Yiyang randomly clicked on the comments of several sharp-tongued film critics she followed, and almost all of them were praising her.
"Honestly," Lin Xuan'er said slowly after wiping away the tears from her eyes, "I think this story is my favorite this season. Maybe it's because I prefer this kind of touching and positive story!"
"I like it too," Wang Xingrui hugged Su Yin and whispered, "I grew up in the countryside, so I know how great these teachers who volunteer to teach are. After watching it, I really believe that such people exist."
"She's worthy of being our little Su," Tang Yue said, looking very proud. "She acted really well. I actually think that among the actresses of our generation, she's the only one who can play this role well. If I were to play the role, I would definitely burst into tears at the end, which would ruin the mood."
Zhou Yiyang waited until they had all finished expressing their thoughts before speaking, "I agree with everything you said. However, some netizens don't think so."
His words made everyone a little confused. Su Yin asked anxiously:
"No way, Brother Yang, are people scolding me online?"
"How is that possible!" Lin Xuan'er rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was about to burst through the computer and beat up the netizens. "What's wrong with these two episodes? You can't say they're not scary anymore! Who said horror movies have to be scary?"
Zhou Yiyang interrupted Lin Xuan'er and, sitting across from them, slowly said, "Don't worry, things aren't as serious as you think. Positive reviews are the mainstream, but there are some people who are trying to manipulate the situation."
"What's going on?" Tang Yue frowned and took out her cell phone with some dissatisfaction.
"Basically, it's saying I'm too biased towards Su Yin. It's obvious that the last story has a higher purpose than the first three. And then, for example, the first short film Zhang Yingyuan starred in, and the first art film in which she played the female lead, were both Su Yin. Basically, it's saying that you three should stand up for what's wrong and fight for your rights."
Zhou Yiyang knew that they would see such remarks sooner or later. In addition to some people trying to take advantage of the situation, there were indeed netizens and even Yue Shao's fans who thought so.
Just like after Wang Xingrui released her personal album, some people spoke up for Lin Xuaner.
Su Yin's reaction to this awkward situation was quite natural. She sat on the sofa and looked at her friends seriously, "What do you think?"
"I admit, this story is indeed very good." Tang Yue was as frank as ever, "But I'm not jealous at all, and I certainly won't have any thoughts of snatching this role. My current acting skills really aren't worthy of this story. So those netizens' provocations are useless to me. And they're also wrong about one thing. When I was acting in 'Charlotte's Troubles', it was before Xiao Xiaosu was in 'The Godfather of Magic City'! I'm really good at comedy!"
Su Yin was indeed a little relaxed. She believed in her good sister but not herself.
In fact, from her point of view, if they wanted a certain role in the future, she would give it to them. Of course, she also knew that Zhou Yiyang would definitely not agree.
Su Yin was a little moved by Tang Yue's attitude, so she had to hold it back and pretend to look up at the ceiling.
Wang Xingrui looked bewildered: "These netizens think such dark things about us! Isn't this just as strange as how many people think girl groups always quarrel and fight in private? My good sisters shine in a drama, so I'm definitely happy!"
Lin Xuan'er sat down next to Su Yin and quietly stuffed the toilet paper into her hand. "If they say something like that, it means they don't understand us. If the four of us had a conflict over this, Moonlight Girls would have disbanded long ago."
Zhou Yiyang smiled and said, "Okay, if you keep talking, Xiao Xiao Su will burst into tears and be moved to death. It's best if you can understand. Every time I choose a script for you, it is indeed what I think is most suitable. Of course, if you have any opinions, you can tell me. As for whether I will accept it or not, that is another matter."
After talking about the unhappy things, Zhou Yiyang also shared a series of shocking data with them.
"The response to the finale of Asian Horror Stories was much better than we expected. Not only did the number of online users reach a new high, but the first episode's views have also seen a surge. I think many people decided to get into the series after seeing the positive reviews for the finale."
"As for the positive reviews, the Douban score has just been updated. It's gone up from 7.9 to 8.1, bucking the trend. It looks like it'll probably be above 8. For a domestic horror TV series, that's definitely a very high score."
Zhou Yiyang glanced at his phone and continued, "The main reason is that the finale was reported and praised by several mainstream media outlets. I might have to retract my previous prediction. I think Su Yin has a chance of competing for the Golden Eagle and Magnolia Awards next year."
Su Yin suppressed her joy and said, "Actually, I don't really care about whether I win an award or not. At least I hope my performance didn't disappoint the audience and fans."
After returning to the room, Su Yin lay on the bed and received a voice message from Ye Kongqing:
"Mom just watched your TV series, and your acting was fantastic! You should thank Mr. Zhou for giving you such a great character. Of course, my daughter's acting skills are also amazing, and Mom's friends are all praising you!"
"They also follow horror movies?" Su Yin said in surprise.
"The kids at home want to watch it, so just go along with it! Your episode isn't that scary, so everyone can accept it!"
After the conclusion of "Asian Horror Stories", overseas data also saw a surge.
Most foreigners can't empathize with the show like we do in China, but they still admit that this is a very special TV series. The four stories, with completely different styles and cultural backgrounds, can be made into movies individually.
Such high-quality dramas are scarce in today's fast-paced TV drama market, no matter which country they are in.
PepsiCo's investors naturally noticed this and simply put the official announcement of the endorsement on the agenda.
