"I have one last question," said a university student who played the villainous female supporting character. She was trembling as she raised her hand, but her courage was commendable.
Zhou Yiyang nodded with a smile, trying his best to appear amiable. "Go ahead."
"No male lead?"
She asked what was on everyone's mind.
Oh, not including Jiang Xiaoliang.
Because Jiang Xiaoliang loved Moonlight Girl so much that he found it difficult to accept them having love scenes with other men, even in movies.
Maybe in the future, but definitely not for a debut!
"Then do you think something is missing from the completeness of this story?" Zhou Yiyang asked back.
"It's missing, it's missing emotional drama?" she said uncertainly.
"But it doesn't affect the integrity of the story, right? And wouldn't it be nice for four girls with the same hobbies, looked down upon by everyone, to strive for the same goal? Why add a dispensable male protagonist?"
There was another reason, which Zhou Yiyang didn't mention.
He hasn't signed any male stars yet, and it's Moonlight Girl's debut work, so how can he let outsiders take advantage of the popularity!
So he thought about it and decided to remove the male lead and merge the two characters of Beibei and Tata in the original work into one, which was considered a second revision of the script.
In Zhou Yiyang's opinion, the final result was pretty good.
The girl was obviously convinced by Zhou Yiyang, and she looked as if she had suddenly understood something.
At this time, Tang Yue quietly complained in Su Yin's ear: "Have you noticed that our script reading has turned into a debate between Brother Yang and the scholars?"
Jiang Xiaoliang was in high spirits, and he still had confidence in his acting skills. However, it was difficult for him to be eloquent, so luckily, Zhou Yiyang was there.
The script reading lasted until six o'clock in the afternoon before it was declared over.
But all the actors benefited greatly from it.
Some of the lines and character motivations that they could not understand suddenly became clear during the "debate" with Zhou Yiyang.
The four girls also gained a lot.
They saw something in some of the extras that they didn't have - a love of acting.
These people may only have a few lines and a fleeting shot, but they still keep pondering over and over again.
"I feel like I'd be letting everyone down if I don't perform well." Wang Xingrui felt a lot of pressure.
"Everyone's so serious," Lin Xuan'er said. "I just heard our director chatting with an actor. He's really prepared a lot for this production. This is our debut, and it's also his first production."
"I definitely have to act seriously and give my all. My mom will be on set supervising me every day. That's terrifying!" Su Yin recalled a report she read as a child about a mother who accompanied her son to class every day, sitting at the back of the classroom. The thought made her choke.
"Well, don't you think the actress who plays the villainous female supporting role is pretty? I have to act well and I absolutely cannot let anyone outdo me!"
Whatever the reason, the four of them were full of fighting spirit, and they were even more excited for tomorrow's official filming.
After seeing this, Bai Yangyu joked with Zhou Yiyang, "Your script reading is amazing. The effect is like a pyramid scheme."
"It has nothing to do with me," Zhou Yiyang said modestly, "They have their own aspirations. But if they didn't, they wouldn't have come to this point."
"That's right," Bai Yangyu said with a smile as he looked at the four girls who were huddled together to read the script and occasionally discuss it. "I can't even imagine how far they can go."
"Our goal is the sea of stars!"
“???” Bai Yangyu looked bewildered.
Zhou Yiyang sighed: "Lao Bai, this is the generation gap!"
Bai Yangyu made up his mind that he would go home and watch anime tonight!
But before that, Zhou Yiyang still had to occupy Bai Yangyu's rest time. "Lao Bai, regarding the group variety show, I now have two plans.
One option is a large-scale group variety show, similar to a regular variety show, focusing on four people. However, this requires more money and time, so I'll probably have to wait until filming is finished before considering it.
Another option is to broadcast live on the radio.”
"Radio? Live broadcast?" Bai Yangyu raised his eyebrows. How could Zhou Yiyang connect these two seemingly unrelated elements together?
"Well, other idol groups also have a lot of live group variety shows. But I've studied them, and most of them are very long and require playing various small games during the show, which is too tiring for them who have to film every day now.
But if you don't show your face all the time, it won't help to maintain your fan base. So I think the old radio station was good enough, answering fans' emotional questions, chatting about gossip, and listening to music together.
Now, they would definitely use live streaming to interact with netizens. Sounds a lot like the daily routine of some female anchors, right? Yeah, the radio station is just a gimmick.
"That's great. We can do it once a month, two hours each time. But as for the questions, I don't recommend answering the comments," Bai Yangyu analyzed seriously. "It's uncontrollable, and it's easy to be influenced by the rhythm. It's best to collect questions a week in advance, and then answer them together during the live broadcast."
"That's a good idea," Zhou Yiyang nodded in agreement. "And we can also determine what they're interested in by looking at the popularity of each question."
Zhou Yiyang is a decisive person. After he made up his mind, he directly told the four people who were still studying the script.
Lin Xuan'er was the first to nod: "It's pretty good, and once a month it's not too intense."
"For two hours, we can even sing our own songs." Wang Xingrui also agreed: "This way, fans won't forget we're a girl group."
"Answer the question!" Tang Yue chuckled mischievously, "Those shy emotional questions that boys and girls ask? I think they'll be very interesting!"
"Can I quietly do a food broadcast?" Su Yin raised her hand and said, "Xiao Xiao Su's Food Radio sounds great!"
"Since you all agree, I'll start preparing." Zhou Yiyang gave them a sneak peek: "My initial idea is to put your live broadcast on our own app. We've been planning to do this before, but unfortunately we didn't have the content. Now, we can move the entire official website there and put your live broadcast and movie highlights there."
Zhou Yiyang's ambition is still very big. In the future, their group variety shows, movies and TV series will be put on it. Not only them, but also other artists of Yiyang Entertainment.
From artists to works to platforms, a complete ecological chain.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that there is a bright future ahead.
"Brother Yang, why are you smiling like an idiot?" Su Yin kindly reminded him.
Zhou Yiyang touched his nose awkwardly. "I'm so happy. Let's go eat! You'll only be able to eat boxed lunches tomorrow, so you have to eat well today! Oh, and remember to post a Weibo tonight saying you're on set filming. Since the haters have helped stir up some buzz for us, I'd be embarrassed not to take advantage of it."
