It was already past ten o'clock when Zhou Yiyang finished watching "Yi Yi" and walked out of the cinema.
After the other employees had gone home, he sighed and looked at the four well-disguised girls: "Let's go get some midnight snack?"
"Okay." Su Yin was the first to agree, and she rubbed her belly. "I didn't expect the movie to be so long. I didn't feel this way when I was filming it."
"But you and Brother Chen had absolutely no presence in there," Tang Yue said honestly, "If I hadn't known about you two in advance, I wouldn't have noticed."
"Hahaha," Su Yin said without a care in the world. "It's just a guest appearance anyway. The ratings on the ticket purchasing app should be out by now, right?"
Su Yin opened her phone and took a look. Lin Xuan'er beside her urged, "What's wrong? Your score can't be very low, right? No way!"
Wang Xingrui also didn't believe it: "Although I felt a little sleepy during the movie, I think the quality of this movie is very good."
Zhou Yiyang wasn't surprised at all: "High quality doesn't mean a lot of positive reviews. For many viewers, they might feel they can't understand the movie and give it a low score."
Su Yin wanted to give Zhou Yiyang a thumbs-up at this moment: "Brother Yang, you are amazing, you really are a prophet. The rating on the ticket purchasing app is only 9.0, which is lower than "Moonlight Girl" and "Sunny Sisters". And today's box office is not high either, only a little over 10 million."
When they compared the box office with that of the movies they had starred in, they did find the problem.
Both the word of mouth and the box office were not as good as expected.
Tang Yue pursed her lips, looking as if she didn't believe the score at all: "I don't think this score is very credible. Brother Yang, why don't you check and see if someone is buying the points to smear us."
"With this box office," Zhou Yiyang said self-deprecatingly, "some people even hired internet trolls to smear us. I think they have too much money to spend. And don't think nine points is low; at least it's not a bad movie. By the way, how about the Douban rating?"
In Zhou Yiyang's opinion, this film should be more to the taste of Douban's literary youth.
Lin Xuan'er immediately pulled out her phone to check, her face filled with surprise. "It's actually 8.9? Could it be that the final Douban score for this movie is even higher than the one on the ticket app? This is the first time I've seen that."
Zhou Yiyang was also surprised. After all, a Douban score of 8.9 was quite high.
Many times, the best films of the three major awards do not necessarily have this score.
"Tsk tsk," Zhou Yiyang beamed. He had been worried about the box office, but now he was completely relieved. "Give me a screenshot of the score, and I'll send it to Director Zhang."
As long as the core population recognizes the film, it means it has not failed.
Zhang Yingyuan and Zhou Yiyang thought the same thing and indeed did not sleep.
But he is not worried about the movie's box office.
In fact, the box office of 18 million on the first day was the best result of all his movies.
This should be inseparable from Zhou Yiyang's publicity and promotion.
At this time, he received a screenshot sent by Zhou Yiyang. He looked down and couldn't help laughing: "This score is not bad. I thought many people didn't like it!"
Zhou Yiyang was completely impressed by Zhang Yingyuan's optimistic attitude.
Fortunately, Zhang Yingyuan finally asked, "You won't lose too much, right?"
"No, it's low-cost. Listing on Moonlight should also recoup the investment. If I win an award, it will definitely be worth the investment."
"Yeah," Zhang Yingyuan said with relief, "This is the best. As for winning the prize, it doesn't have to be forced; it still depends on luck."
For fans of Yue Shao, they don’t care about the box office of "Yi Yi". What they care about is the finale of "White Snake: Origin" which will be broadcast tomorrow.
And the second episode of "The Actors Are in Place".
As long as "White Snake: Origin" does not have a bad ending, this TV series will be remembered by many people.
In addition to its quality, it also serves as a benchmark for being the first to launch high-quality short dramas.
It can be said that many people did not go to the cinema to watch movies, but stayed in front of their computers at home to watch the last episode of "White Snake: Origin".
Although the broadcast time of the finale of "The Actors Are in Place" and "White Snake: Origin" are staggered, judging from the heated discussions online, it should also be affected to a certain extent.
Zhou Yiyang said with self-mockery, "Today it's really a fight between the left and the right."
In a female dormitory at Shanghai Jiaotong University, six girls sat neatly in front of their computers, refreshing the same page, which was very ceremonial.
If an outsider breaks in, he will definitely ask in confusion: "What's going on?"
But the six of them are now focused on Moonlight.
"Have you noticed that refreshing the page is getting slower and slower?"
"I figured it out earlier! Holy crap! It won't just 404 error later, will it? Mr. Zhou is so rich, why doesn't he get a better server?"
"Come on, take a look at the number of people online in the lower right corner. The show hasn't even started yet, and there are already over 200,000 people waiting in the live broadcast room."
"Isn't there still an hour until it airs? I didn't expect there are people more anxious than us! But when I think about there being no other dramas to catch up on after 'White Snake: Origin' ends, I actually feel a little sad."
"Hahaha, I can relate! This drama has really raised my appreciation threshold. Now if I go back and watch those fantasy dramas with crappy special effects, I absolutely can't sit through them!"
As time passed, more and more people stopped at the playback page of "White Snake: Origin".
Some are rewatching the first seven episodes, while others, like the girls in this dormitory, are waiting for the finale.
The online discussion is also getting more and more heated, as if everyone is following the drama.
Zhou Yiyang was shocked when he saw these trending searches. If you didn’t know, you would think that he spent a lot of money to buy trending searches!
The other TV series and variety shows aired today were in a terrible state, as all the popularity was sucked away by the finale of "White Snake: Origin".
The sponsors were delighted. When they invested in "White Snake: Origin", they never thought that this TV series that seemed to be a flop would become a huge hit.
Of course, Yue Shao and his three friends would not miss the finale of "White Snake: Origin".
This is the result of their months of hard work.
As the TV series is coming to an end, they can't help but think of the days when they were filming it.
When they were filming the show, they never imagined that it would become so popular.
If no other hit drama comes out later, its popularity will almost certainly secure it the number one spot of the year.
By the time the finale was updated at 6 o'clock, the number of Moonlight's online users had exceeded 10 million.
You should know that Moonlight has only more than 20 million registered users, which means that most of the registered users are following "White Snake: Origin".
When the words "Finale" appeared on the big screen, Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "I was worried it would get stuck! Let's guess, how many trending searches will we get tonight?"
