After the audience gradually entered the venue, the editor-in-chief of "Bazaar", who was also the host of tonight, also came on stage with her skirt held up.
She smiled slightly and waved to everyone: "Good evening, everyone, and welcome to our charity gala tonight."
The artists at the scene also gave her face and started clapping vigorously.
The other party didn't waste any time and went straight into the charity sale.
Basically, all the items auctioned at the charity gala are provided by the artists themselves, so it is essentially an activity of exchanging gifts and then donating money.
Naturally, there won’t be a scene like that where everyone at an auction scrambles frantically for a product, and Zhou Yiyang finally appears and makes the final decision.
Zhou Yiyang bought two products tonight, both of which were provided by two directors. In addition to donating money, he also supported the directors' careers.
As guests attending tonight, the Moonlight Girls and the other two also spent money to buy a few items.
After the charity sale is over, it is time for the official donation process.
For artists like these, donating more or less is a science.
If the donations are too little, once the final list of the charity gala is released, they will definitely be criticized by many netizens, who will think that these stars are too stingy when they obviously make so much money but are unwilling to donate!
They would never think that the stars who are more stingy would not participate in such activities at all, nor would they donate.
If too much is donated, it is essentially a form of internal circulation.
This will make some colleagues of similar status feel embarrassed and feel like they are being outdone.
So generally speaking, artists who are familiar with each other will ask each other in advance, and finally everyone will confirm a number and donate a unified amount.
For example, the artists from Yi Yang Entertainment who attended the event tonight had all agreed in advance to donate one million yuan.
As the boss, Zhou Yi Yang donated a little more, donating five million in his personal name, and was also the person who donated the most at tonight's charity gala.
As the person who donated the most, Zhou Yiyang naturally had the opportunity to go on stage and talk about his thoughts.
"I suddenly realized," Wang Xingrui, sitting in the audience, whispered as she saw Zhou Yiyang take the stage. "Brother Yang, I guess this was planned in advance! This way, he'll have a chance to promote our new drama."
Lin Xuan'er, standing by, smiled and said, "No way, you just realized it. Otherwise, why would Brother Yang donate so much money? After all, only those who donated the most get to speak."
At this moment, Tang Yue glanced at the smiling editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar and muttered, "So this is like spending five million to buy a publicity opportunity!"
"That's true," Su Yin said with a smile, "but if you ask me, these five million are still worth it."
At this time, Zhou Yiyang naturally didn't know what they were discussing. He cleared his throat and looked at so many artists in the audience, but he was not nervous at all.
"Thank you everyone, and thank you to everyone who has supported Yi Yang Entertainment along the way..."
After Zhou Yiyang finished his polite remarks, he finally got to the point: "Finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to advertise our new drama. I think everyone doesn't mind, right?"
Everyone sitting in the audience was a smart person, and they all responded with a smile.
And Zhou Yiyang also advertised naturally:
"This is a TV series with a very unique theme. Strictly speaking, it should be considered a youth campus theme!"
A few hours later, Zhou Yiyang's advertising short video was played repeatedly by Moonlight Girl's fans.
Of course, these fans are excited. The youth campus theme makes these fans think of Moonlight Girl’s debut work of the same name.
They all thought that Moonlight Girl would completely transform into a movie star and stay away from TV dramas.
Even if we want to make a TV series, it should be some more refined and high-end themes.
But no one expected that the four of them would actually star in a youth campus drama.
"This TV series is called 'Run with the Wind,' a sports-themed campus drama. It also fits perfectly with our theme tonight: Live Your Own Life! It'll be airing simultaneously on Moonlight and China Channel 8 on New Year's Day, so stay tuned!"
The short film ended here, but it sparked a lot of discussion among people.
"I didn't expect Zhou Yiyang to collaborate with Channel 8 this time! How many years has it been since Channel 8 aired a campus drama?"
"Really? I remember Channel 8 always had pretty high standards for the quality of their dramas! So I think this drama is going to be great!"
"I love these four guys acting in teen dramas so much! They're so good-looking, they should be in more dramas that suit their age! And with them around, their acting is guaranteed!"
"Since everyone is optimistic about it, I'm not afraid of being criticized for being pessimistic. Honestly, whether it's Mr. Zhou directing or Yue Shao starring, I'm completely confident. But sports-themed dramas, over the years, have there ever been a true hit?"
"And I also heard that Zhou Yiyang's Logic Film and Television approved a sports-themed movie last year, but I don't know if it's been filmed yet! Honestly, our country doesn't like sports-themed films and TV shows. Mr. Zhou is too paranoid!"
"Come on, you all said that before when it came to youth films, dramas, and science fiction films. But in the end, which of those films performed poorly at the box office? Just trust Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yue and everything will be fine!"
When Zhou Yiyang woke up the next day, he realized that his new drama had attracted so much attention.
When he was puzzled, Bai Yangyu gave him an explanation:
"Mr. Zhou, have you forgotten? Starting with 'White Snake: Origin', and later on 'The Silent Truth' and 'Asian Horror Stories', the dramas you released at the end of the year were almost always a guarantee of quality and popularity. It's almost become a brand effect, so it's normal for everyone to be so enthusiastic."
"But this puts a lot of pressure on me." Zhou Yiyang was telling the truth. After all, apart from animation, it seems that there are no other popular sports-themed film and television works.
"Mr. Zhou, are you still feeling pressured?" Bai Yangyu joked, "After all, Channel 8 has a solid base. The quality of our drama is fine. If the subject matter is truly unpopular, it's still possible to maintain that base."
"That's right." Zhou Yiyang glanced at Bai Yangyu and suddenly laughed: "By the way, your wedding is coming soon, are you nervous?"
Bai Yangyu suddenly couldn't speak clearly: "No, no, I'm not nervous. I mean, I'm still nervous, but I can't be nervous..."
"Alright," Zhou Yiyang patted Bai Yangyu on the back, "It's just a marriage. I'll be here when the time comes!"
After all, Zhou Yiyang is the best man, which is a great honor for Bai Yangyu.
He hummed, smiled and left the office.
