At this time, Zhou Yiyang, who was sitting at the front row of the audience, was stroking his chin, while Ning Mang, who was sitting next to him, was laughing so hard that he couldn't stop.
Seeing Ning Mang's state, Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Can you be more reserved? When the camera pans to you later, won't the audience think my good brother, Mr. Ning, has gone crazy?"
Ning Mang finally looked up. "No, didn't you see the ratings? Our show is a huge hit! Hey, let me calculate, with the advertising revenue and the recent new orders, my billion investment is almost paid off!"
Only then did Zhou Yiyang laugh: "I made my money back, yes, I did. But Old Ning, how much money have you ever seen? Are you still worried about not making it back? Besides, before we did the show, didn't everyone guess that the profits this time would be quite high?"
"Hey, it's different." Ning Mang shook his head. "How many TV shows and dramas were highly anticipated before they were even aired? But once they were aired, their true colors were immediately revealed! Besides, I've invested in a lot of things with you, but they were all small ventures. This time, I took a gamble, and hey, I didn't expect it to actually work!"
After Ning Mang had laughed enough, his expression suddenly became much more serious. He handed the phone to Zhou Yiyang and said, "Tell me, aren't these people who are stirring up trouble online really disgusting?"
Zhou Yiyang's expression after seeing these Weibo posts was exactly the same as Tang Yue's after seeing the same content.
Both of them felt helpless and disgusted, as if they were being entangled by flies.
Tang Yue was just excited about her sisters' wonderful performances, but now she had an urge to vomit.
"I knew it!" Wang Xingrui was also angry: "Someone will definitely make a fuss about this!"
"And they're saying 'Ultimate Beauty' lost because of our fans' influence!" Su Yin shook her head. She now felt that those haters were simply confusing right and wrong and spreading nonsense. "That's ridiculous! The audience can't even see the comments, so they won't even investigate these people's influence!"
"I see," Lin Xuan'er said calmly, "they're just a bunch of casual viewers. They didn't watch the show at all, they just looked at the screenshots and swooped in like those annoying flies. All we can do is pretend we didn't see anything."
"That's right." Tang Yue frowned. "If I respond to this, it will just give these haters what they want!"
The haters are indeed very concerned about the Moonlight Girls. After all, any topic related to the four of them can attract a lot of attention by adding some exaggeration.
This time, the haters actually captured the comments from the "fans" in the live broadcast room who were scolding the sisters for ruining the song, intending to give Moonlight Girls a black mark for being a brainless fan.
After all, they have been paying attention to the Moonlight Girls for so many years, and it is really not easy to find any flaws in these four girls.
Zhou Yiyang put down his phone and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it. This kind of comment doesn't prove they're fans. But it seems like Moonlight Girls has been doing well in China recently, and some people are getting impatient again."
Ning Mang raised an eyebrow at the side. "Oh? Old Zhou, are you saying these aren't their haters, but someone is doing this on purpose?"
"Yeah, haters aren't that stupid! Let me think, Su Yin's new movie is coming out soon. I'll have Guan Fei check if there are any upcoming movies, preferably ones with a strong female lead."
"Oh, I see." Ning Mang, standing by, suddenly laughed, revealing an expression that said, "Everything is under control." "It seems someone is worried that the release of our little Su's new movie will threaten her position?"
"I'll just check this out." Ning Mang calmly opened his phone. He heard a woman's voice rasping and cracking, which made him cover his ears. "Honestly, some people are so talented in acting, but when they start singing, they're just too scary."
Zhou Yiyang burst out laughing: "If someone heard you say this, I'm afraid you'd be severely scolded!"
Ning Mang shrugged nonchalantly, "They only dare to talk behind my back. I've never met anyone who scolds me to my face! Oh, Lao Zhou, I found out whose movie starring a heroine is about to be released. Goodness, you won't believe it!"
Zhou Yiyang had no interest in this at first, but after hearing what Ning Mang said, he became curious.
"Who is it? Could it be someone who participated in 'Sister Killing'? That's not right. If they really did that, aren't they afraid that I'd do something behind their back? Or do they just believe I'm a good, innocent person?"
"That's not the case," Ning Mang smiled. "But this person is quite famous, has a high status, and has a wealth of work. I never thought she would do something like this. It really soured my impression of her."
Zhou Yiyang coughed and said, "Alright, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me who it is."
"Okay, okay," Ning Mang said happily, "It's our Golden Horse Award-winning actress—Yu Lina."
This result was unexpected, and it truly was. But from Zhou Yiyang's perspective, it made sense.
Among the four leading actresses, Mi Lan and Wang Shuyuan have both performed strongly in the awards department. The former has won the Golden Elephant and Golden Horse Awards, while the latter has won the most elusive Golden Rooster Award, as well as Best Actress awards in Korea and Japan, and has also been nominated for Best Actress at the three major international film awards.
It can be said that whoever of them collects the three golds first will be able to be the strongest of that generation like Helian Bei.
Dong Yinyin, on the other hand, is not very career-oriented and focuses on her love life and TV dramas. It is obvious that she has no expectations of winning any awards or becoming an actress in a movie.
Only Yu Lina, like Wang Shuyuan, is an expert in film and television, but she is not as popular with famous directors as Wang Shuyuan.
She certainly didn't want to fail again this time, and Su Yin was obviously her biggest rival this year.
"I also heard," Ning Mang said, his lips curled. "Yu Lina's new film will be promoted at international film festivals, and the subject matter is also a favorite overseas, depicting the lives of Chinese rural women. It seems this film is planning to rely on good overseas reputation to drive awards in China."
Hearing Ning Mang say this, Zhou Yiyang sneered, "It's normal to pursue awards, but competition should also be fair, right? But will this kind of insignificant scandal really affect Xiao Su? Xiao Su will be very happy to hear it, after all, the senior thinks so highly of her."
At this time, Ning Mang couldn't help but remind him, "Old Zhou, let's not take this too lightly. What if they have a backup plan?"
"I know." Zhou Yiyang hummed, "I won't let her succeed."
