Ace, he is from Australia and now studies at a university in the United States.
He doesn't have many hobbies, bridge is one, and another is looking at beautiful women.
But he is a homebody, the kind who doesn't care about his appearance. If you look at him from a distance, you will probably subconsciously smell a strange smell.
So he put his passion for beauty into a safer way and viewed beauties all over the world through the Internet.
Now Ace has followed more than a thousand beauty bloggers through the Internet.
However, he found that these people were no match for a girl group, Moonlight Girls.
This girl group from China was actually recommended by a friend of his.
For someone like Ace, he probably likes to be alone, and the thing he hates most in his life is following the trend.
Moonlight Girls was so popular that he thought it was a girl group that had already entered the United States.
Logically speaking, Ace would not like such a girl group, as it would make him feel stupid.
But after Ace watched the performance of Moonlight Girl under various circumstances, he finally surrendered to the skirts of these four beauties and remained loyal to his own aesthetic taste.
He fell in love with this girl group.
He even found information about the Spring Festival Gala on Youtu.com on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is just an ordinary day in America.
Before this, he didn't even know what the Spring Festival Gala was.
There are many foreigners like Ace, who watched the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.
Although they couldn't relate to most of the shows, they were still amazed when they saw some of the songs and dance performances.
They originally came to see Moonlight Girl, but unexpectedly they actually felt the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
The Moonlight Girls completed an external cultural output without their knowledge.
After watching the Spring Festival Gala, Ace found that his heart was still so empty.
There are too few shots of Moonlight Girl, and she is dressed more conservatively than usual.
He felt a little regretful that he didn't see more welfare content.
However, Ace soon discovered a new world. He saw advertising messages from fans under Moonlight Girl's Twitter.
"A new movie?" Ace's eyes lit up. "It's actually a science fiction movie!"
Ace almost jumped out of his chair in excitement, it was a science fiction movie!
In the United States, science fiction films have always been the most popular film genre.
Unfortunately, this didn't apply to China, which made Ace feel a little uncomfortable. Every time he watched their movies for Moonlight Girl, he felt that he couldn't understand them, as they were a bit too delicate.
Ace immediately opened the website, and luckily, this movie called "Fortress of Devil City" was actually released in the United States.
Moreover, there are quite a few theaters showing it, which is different from the previous situation where most Chinese films were only shown in specific theaters for local Chinese students or Chinese people to watch.
Ace could clearly sense that Zhou Yiyang was ambitious this time and he planned to promote this movie to the whole world.
However, although science fiction films have a wide audience in the United States, the audience's requirements are also very high.
Ace swore that if the movie was not good, he would never lower his standards just because he was a fan of Moonlight Girl.
When buying the tickets, Ace discovered that the tickets were even more popular than he had imagined!
"How could that be!" Ace frowned. "Is there anyone else who is a fan of Moonlight Girl?"
What he didn't know was that with Zhou Yiyang's huge financial support, Liu Fenfang had placed a lot of advertisements in several major markets around the world.
In America, a country that loves science fiction films, the moonlight girl and science fiction special effects account for a 50-50 ratio on posters.
In Korea and Japan, 90% of the posters featured Moonlight Girls, because they all knew that just having these four people would attract people to the cinema.
The overseas sales of "Fortress of Devil City" are quite good, and it is even expected to break the record of Chinese films overseas. In addition to the popularity of Moonlight Girl, there is another important reason, that is, this period is relatively cold.
This is unlike in China. February has always been a cold period overseas, and basically few blockbusters choose to be released at this time.
"The Fortress of Devil City" has hit what netizens jokingly call the death schedule in the country.
Zhou Yiyang looked at the real-time movie box office, but his expression was not as relaxed and happy as last night.
As of now, the real-time box office of "The Fortress of Devil City" is only ranked fourth.
Before it were two comedy films and a movie adapted from an online novel.
"Brother Yang, is it because of the subject matter?" Bai Yangyu was a little restless when he saw the results. The only thing that could comfort him was the positive reviews that appeared in his circle of friends. He was now beginning to hope that word of mouth would make a comeback.
"That's one factor," Zhou Yiyang said, not expecting such low initial interest. "It seems the public is still quite resistant to domestic science fiction films, no matter how much we promote them. And the fact that all the films that followed our lead were bad has only exacerbated this prejudice."
"Ah!" Bai Yangyu frowned. "Those crappy movies are really harmful. They've made audiences afraid to buy tickets!"
"There's another reason," Zhou Yiyang analyzed rationally. "Among the films scheduled for this year's Spring Festival, ours is the longest, over two hours long. This makes it difficult for theater managers to schedule screenings. If it weren't for our good relationship with the theaters, we'd probably have very few screenings. Furthermore, science fiction films aren't as appealing during the Spring Festival as family comedies."
Zhang Yingyuan, who was sitting in the living room, heard Zhou Yiyang's words and shook his head. "Nowadays, our film market has expanded a lot and can fully support audiences to watch multiple movies. Xiao Zhou, as long as the quality of your film is good, it will still be able to make a breakthrough in the later stage. Don't worry too much."
"That's true," Zhou Yiyang reflected after hanging up the phone. His films rarely reach number one on their first day; they rely on stamina to make a comeback. Why could he wait for other films but not this one? As expected, "Fortress of the Demon City" had the largest investment, and deep down, he didn't want that much money to go to waste. "I should change my mindset."
"Well," Zhang Yingyuan smiled, "I just bought a ticket. Let's go and see what the quality is like later."
Zhang Yiling's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Let's go! I love watching science fiction movies! As long as they're good, I'll definitely tell my classmates about them!"
Zhou Yiyang nodded, he was still confident about the quality of the movie.
So the three of them, plus Xiao Hei, put on thick coats and went to the nearby cinema.
