Zhou Yiyang was not surprised at Wang Xingrui's answer at all, as it was very consistent with Wang Xingrui's personality.
"We agree on this point," Zhou Yiyang smiled. "I was worried that you would change your original intention because of Xuan'er's business achievements."
Wang Xingrui shook her head. She didn't think that at all. "No, Brother Yang, Xuan'er did well commercially this time, and I'm so happy for her. But everyone has different preferences for music. My style is certainly less commercially successful, but that's unavoidable. But I won't change my mind just for commercial success."
Zhou Yiyang nodded, and after Wang Xingrui left, he suddenly remembered that he had once asked Su Yin a similar question.
In fact, there are countless directors who ask Su Yin to make movies every day. The scripts given by these directors are all very good, at least in terms of commercial performance, they will definitely not be bad.
If Su Yin had accepted their invitation and made one more commercial film every year, her accumulated box office revenue would have been even higher.
Su Yin's attitude toward this, however, mirrors Wang Xingrui's. "Commercial films are great, but I don't think anyone in China is better at directing them than you, Brother Yang. So, unfortunately, I have to decline their invitation. If I were to act in someone else's film besides the ones you directed, Brother Yang, I'd definitely choose a genre I enjoy."
Listening to Su Yin's words, Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but laugh. After all, she gave him such a high evaluation.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiyang still felt a little pressured.
Because his next commercial film is "The Devil Wears Chanel", which is tailor-made for Tang Yue.
Yes, it was originally supposed to be Prada, but after Chanel paid a huge price to let Zhou Yiyang change the title and sponsored all the costumes for the entire movie, Zhou Yiyang changed the name of the movie without hesitation.
After all, the four of them are Chanel’s global spokespersons!
However, Zhou Yiyang is still not sure whether this inspirational movie focusing on the fashion circle will suit the tastes of domestic audiences.
I hope so, Zhou Yiyang thought somewhat helplessly.
He adjusted his mindset and decided to watch something that would make him happy.
For example, the pre-sale of Lin Xuaner’s album.
The number of physical albums pre-sold in China has exceeded 500,000, and in fact half of the people chose the more expensive vinyl collector's edition.
In addition to the exquisite gift box, another reason is that the collector's edition contains three more songs.
At this time, there is only less than a week left before Lin Xuaner's new album is officially released. Now many people are looking forward to what kind of results this album, which has received unanimous praise from the media, will achieve in the end.
Lin Xuaner herself was actually looking forward to it too.
These days she was almost always the last one to fall asleep, for fear that when she woke up she would find out that it was all just a dream. In fact, she had not held any auditions, nor released any personal albums.
"Xuan'er," Tang Yue had been very close to Lin Xuan'er recently, and she had indeed noticed that something was wrong with Lin Xuan'er: "You seem to be staying up late even more than me lately."
When Lin Xuan'er heard this, she covered her face in shame. Then she looked at Tang Yue who had said this: "How did you know that?"
This was also a question that she was very curious about. How did Tang Yue know that she was staying up late? They were obviously not sleeping in the same bed.
Tang Yue immediately laughed: "Because I found that you are the same as me. When you stay up late, you like to play games. Recently, every time I go online, I find you are still in the game. So how can I believe you didn't stay up late!"
Lin Xuan'er groaned, then slapped the bed indignantly, "Why did I forget to turn on stealth mode?"
After she finished her self-deprecation, she looked at Tang Yue and said, "Tangtang, actually, I've noticed a problem. I'm about to release my album, and I haven't been able to sleep at all these past few days. I don't know what's wrong."
Tang Yue glanced at Lin Xuan'er, seemingly unsurprised by her state. "I know. You're just too worried about your performance. You must be wondering what will happen if people aren't satisfied with the album after it's released. But don't you already have over a million pre-sales?"
Lin Xuan'er shook her head and immediately expressed her concerns. "Pre-sales are another matter. You're saying these people pre-ordered, but I'm afraid they didn't like me or this album, but were brainwashed by the media marketing. But if they find out later that my album's pre-sales performance is so-so, some might even ask for refunds! If this ends up causing a massive refund, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Tang Yue opened her mouth, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort Lin Xuaner.
Finally, she simply called Wang Xingrui and Su Yin and asked them to come over quickly to provide psychological counseling to Lin Xuaner.
Su Yin shook her head. It was obvious that she had no other options.
Wang Xingrui, on the other hand, looked at Lin Xuan'er and reassured her with her own experience: "It was the same when I first released my album. I was worried that my performance would be so far behind ours as a group! Of course, there was indeed a big gap, but you won't be sad."
This was the first time Wang Xingrui had said this. She laughed and said, "You'll find that no matter how many copies of your album have sold, when you see the messages from your fans, when you see that they are moved by the songs you sing, and when you see that you all resonate with each other because of the same song, you will feel a sense of relief. You will feel that you have found a soulmate, and this is something that no amount of sales can compare to."
After Lin Xuaner heard Wang Xingrui's explanation, she nodded heavily.
It has to be said that the idea of finding a soulmate is really romantic to Lin Xuaner.
"I'm not nervous at all now," Lin Xuan'er hugged Wang Xingrui, expressing her gratitude. "I'm just hoping my album comes out soon so I can find a soulmate."
After Tang Yue heard this, she looked at them with some envy before continuing, "I suddenly want to release a solo album, but I don't think I'll find anyone who understands me. It's my fault for singing so badly!"
Su Yin, standing by, nodded as well. "We're both equally talented, but our movies can also find like-minded people! Tangtang, I heard Brother Yang has already scheduled your new movie for release in March!"
"Don't mention it," Tang Yue nervously clutched her chest. "I'm afraid after it's released, everyone will find out that I have no box office appeal at all!"
