Standing under the goose-yellow street lights, the four girls wrapped in thick scarves did not feel the cold, and they even broke out in a sweat.
"Have you finished recording?" Zhou Yiyang got out of the car. Dressed in a suit and tie, he looked like he had just returned from some upper-class place.
"Brother Yang," Tang Yue was the first to get into the car and quickly took off her scarf: "Why are you dressed so formally today?"
"As for me," Zhou Yiyang said after everyone arrived, "I just attended a small celebration party."
"Celebration banquet?" Su Yin repeated.
"The people from Bashu TV invited me. It's hard for them to fly all the way here to treat me to a meal. They say that after the release date of 'Ode to Joy' was set, they were surprisingly successful in attracting investment. They even sold ads during the TV series' broadcast time for a good price."
"Sure!" Lin Xuan'er cheered up. At least it showed that investors were still optimistic about their show. "But why a small celebration party?"
"Because after the show airs, they'll definitely hold a bigger celebration! We have to have confidence in us."
After Zhou Yiyang finished speaking, he asked, "How was the recording of the new song today?"
"It's pretty simple," Wang Xingrui said, "but the emotions still took a long time to brew."
"Well, this song is definitely not difficult for you guys technically. The most important thing is to express the feeling of parting. We'll also be filming a behind-the-scenes segment tomorrow, which we'll play with the ending theme."
The behind-the-scenes footage was simpler than any of them had imagined. They just put on the clothes from the drama, and then the five of them (plus Qiao Zishan) played guitar and sang on the rooftop.
"Teacher Qiao," Tang Yue said, walking up to Qiao Zishan after she finished filming. "Why didn't you come with us to record the song yesterday?"
"I can't sing!" Qiao Zishan shook her head fiercely. "I've been tone-deaf since I was a kid. Just lip-syncing can be considered the fulfillment of my musical dream."
In this way, time passed quietly and came to March 8th.
On Women's Day, Zhou Yiyang specially gave the female employees in the company a day off. As a result, he found that he, Bai Yangyu and two security guards seemed to be the only ones left in the company.
"Boss Zhou," Bai Yangyu silently handed over a report, "The release date for 'The Legend of Yunlong' has just been confirmed."
"Oh?" Zhou Yiyang was actually quite disappointed that they couldn't fight on the same stage. "When? It can't be today, right?"
"Well, it's today... It was suddenly scheduled for release, and it's already become a hot topic." When Bai Yangyu said this, he looked quite depressed.
"What a coincidence!" Zhou Yiyang felt like he couldn't believe what he said. "Do you think they are confident, or do they think we are no match?"
"Who knows!" Bai Yangyu said unhappily, "Weibo, Tik Tok, the opening screen is all promotional for 'Legend of Yunlong'. Compared to that, the promotional materials we bought before are still far inferior."
"Well," Zhou Yiyang smiled. "Other companies are bigger and more powerful, so their marketing expenses are simply higher than our budget. But in the end, the ratings still depend on the quality, right? By the way, are they broadcasting exclusively on Xiangjiang Satellite TV?"
"How did you know?" Bai Yangyu looked surprised.
"Didn't Xiangjiang TV announce a few days ago that a mysterious new drama would be airing on the 8th? Do you really think 'Legend of Yunlong' was a last-minute decision? It was all marketing, suddenly dropped out of nowhere. Look how hot it is now!"
Tang Yue and the others were also checking Weibo. They originally thought they would see the marketing account Zhou Yiyang bought to promote "Ode to Joy", but who knew that Weibo was flooded with "Legend of Yunlong".
"Isn't this 'Legend of Yunlong' just too disgusting? They clearly bought a bunch of trending searches, but fans actually dared to say the filmmakers were bold and set a release date out of the blue, relying entirely on the attention of passers-by to get on trending searches!"
"HaiLang Entertainment, the old marketing king." Wang Xingrui was very disgusted: "Those Shufen said they wouldn't make appointments before the show started, but now they are all forwarding the news that "The Legend of Yunlong" has a release date. They are too fence-sitters!"
Lin Xuan'er's face immediately showed a worried expression. "Then, what should we do? Our platform isn't as good as theirs to begin with, and now they're trying to compete with us for popularity with the premiere! Hailang Entertainment is definitely doing this on purpose!"
Luo Chen, who was originally happily staying at home to watch the TV series about his junior sister, now had a dark face.
He felt that if it weren't for him, Hailang Entertainment wouldn't have targeted them so much.
