For the Moonlight Girls, their party for the night is over.
Whether it is the feedback from the live audience or the more intuitive ratings data, they all prove the effectiveness and popularity of their performance.
"Brother Yang, can we go now?" After Su Yin returned to the dressing room, she lay down on the sofa.
"Let's wait for Brother Chen to finish his performance and go together!" Tang Yue sat opposite Su Yin and stretched.
"Don't you post on Weibo?" Wang Xingrui asked while typing on her mobile phone.
The two shook their heads in confusion: "What Weibo?"
Lin Xuan'er then stepped forward to explain, "It's to promote the movie. The official Weibo account just released the final trailer, and the other actors have reposted it."
Zhou Yiyang glanced at Lin Xuan'er approvingly. "Everyone, go forward this post. The competition during this year's National Day holiday is quite strong. It would be embarrassing if we became the worst-performing new film."
"Brother Yang," Tang Yue typed quickly, "We've been busy touring these past few months, and we don't even know who our competitors will be."
"I know," Guan Fei raised her hand and, after a long absence, opened a forum dedicated to movie box office predictions and analysis. "Besides our Sunshine, there's also the big-budget fantasy film Flower of Evil. Huh? The movie version of Legend of Yunlong is really set to release on National Day. That's another competitor."
I heard both of these films cost 200 million yuan each. There's also a new film from a famous director called "The Last Two Hours," which seems to be an action film. Oh, and there's also a low-budget romance film that's been heavily marketed on TikTok lately. It's called "The Most Romantic Love."
"If I listen to the name," Wang Xingrui answered honestly, "then I think I would want to watch 'The Most Romantic Love.' But the marketing for this movie is really exaggerated. I can see the promotion every day when I open Douyin."
"It's Star Media's investment, and they also produced the National Day film 'Flower of Evil.' However, one is a big-budget production, while the other relies on online popularity." Zhou Yiyang objectively commented, "Regardless of this company, they have a very keen sense of the market."
"Didn't the TV series 'Legend of Yunlong' flop?" Su Yin asked, a bit puzzled. "I didn't expect it could be made into a movie, and with such a big budget."
"It should have been approved a long time ago," Zhou Yiyang glanced up at the gala from time to time. "And the failure of 'Legend of Yunlong' was due to you guys. If it hadn't been a hit, 'Legend of Yunlong' would still have ranked second in the average ratings this year. It's just that the cast of the movie version are all newcomers, so I don't know if that's a good thing or not."
"What about 'The Last Two Hours'?" Lin Xuan'er turned and asked, "Judging from the director and team, it should be pretty reliable. But there's not much publicity. I checked several ticket purchasing apps, and the number of people who want to see it is basically the lowest."
"The director of 'The Last Two Hours' is from Hong Kong, so whether the finished product will be suitable for the mainland market is not yet clear. However, judging by the word-of-mouth from the preview screenings, it should be good. This movie seems to be planning to spread through word-of-mouth, which is coincidentally the same as ours."
The four of them looked at Zhou Yiyang and felt that what he said was not credible at all.
The promotion of "Sunny Sisters" can be said to have started when they sang "Sunny" on "Team Unlimited".
Later, the film gained excellent reputation at the First Film Festival and was nominated for Best Film, which raised the audience's expectations.
Recently, an activity was held on TikTok to share your "sister group", and the participation rate was very high.
It was even advertised at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala today. I'm afraid that in the eyes of other peers, "Sunny" is the most marketed movie during the National Day holiday.
But the most amazing thing is that although Zhou Yiyang has endless marketing methods, they are not annoying at all.
"Brother Yang, your analysis makes a lot of sense. Why don't you predict the final box office rankings for these movies? I saw a forum expert also made a prediction, and there are quite a lot of people supporting it."
Zhou Yiyang nodded. "Okay, I'll make a prediction. I think the top spot should be 'Sunny', and the target is 1.2 billion!"
After the words fell, Yue Shao and the other three looked at Zhou Yiyang in disbelief: "Brother Yang, how much is the difference? You have to pay for it yourself!"
Even fans of Miss Yue don’t dare to brag like that. Most people predict that 500 million will be a blessing.
"In second place, I think it's Flower of Evil, which should be around 800 million. It'll definitely have the highest box office on the first day, but the stamina won't be great.
The third one is "The Last Two Hours", with 600 to 700 million. If the word of mouth is good, it may also take the championship.
"The Most Romantic Love" has the potential to surpass "Legend of Yunlong", and both films should be around 500 million."
Guan Fei opened her mouth wide. She didn't expect that Zhou Yiyang's prediction would be so different from that of the forum master.
"That person predicted that the champion would be 'Flower of Evil,' followed by 'Legend of Yunlong,' 'The Last Two Hours,' 'The Most Romantic Love,' and 'Sunny' in third place. Most netizens think 'Moonlight Girl' was a surprise, and that 'Sunny' won't be able to catch up to the popularity of the anime and manga, so its box office won't be very high."
"So pessimistic," Zhou Yiyang was surprised. It seemed most people still didn't have a clear understanding of the upper limits of youth films and comedies. "Let's see who gets it right in three days."
After Luo Chen went on stage to perform, everyone tacitly ended their conversation and focused on enjoying Luo Chen's performance.
Today, Luo Chen's performance style has become more mature, and coupled with his popularity at its peak, his every move and gesture exudes the aura of a superstar.
Hikvision Entertainment's executives were also watching tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. When they saw Luo Chen's current state, they were filled with deep regret.
Who would have thought that after Luo Chen left Hikvision Entertainment and joined a small company, he would actually develop better and better!
When he heard that he had joined Zhang Yingyuan's new film, the executive felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"We should have signed him back then. Such a good talent was given to Zhou Yiyang for free!"
The end of Luo Chen's performance means that all the artists from Yi Yang Entertainment have finished their performances.
Judging from the ratings, Xiangjiang Satellite TV is far ahead, ending tonight's satellite TV competition early.
After Luo Chen returned to the backstage, Zhou Yiyang took everyone to have a midnight snack.
In a high-end apartment in Shencheng, Helian Bei stared at the TV intently.
However, what was being broadcast on TV was not any satellite TV station’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, but Zhou Yiyang’s short film “The Vanity Fair Murder Case”.
Three days later, on the day before National Day, at six o'clock in the afternoon, a box office war that would last for seven days began.
A group of students who had just finished their holidays crowded in front of the cinema, looking confused at the schedule on the screen.
"Sunny" surprisingly only accounts for 8.9% of the screenings. This theater even only has two showings scheduled tonight.
