Zhou Yiyang looked up at the time. It was 7:20.
20 minutes have passed since the finale of "White Snake: Origin".
When I open my phone, it’s filled with blessings from colleagues, some sincere and some superficial.
"Boss Zhou is amazing! Another hit drama!"
"Mr. Zhou, please let me invest in your next film. No matter what the subject matter is, I believe in it!"
"Hahaha, Lao Zhou is worthy of you, the ending is also stable!"
"Boss Zhou, are you still short of actors for your next film? Please take me with you. I really don't have any requirements for the salary!"
Zhou Yiyang was of course happy in his heart, as this meant that he was recognized.
Although the script was given to him by the system, he was the one who did the filming and he also spent money to polish the special effects.
It can be said that Zhou Yiyang feels that he has made some contribution to the success of "White Snake: Origin".
Guan Fei was even more excited. After all, Zhou Yiyang was always generous to his employees. Now that White Snake: Origin was a hit, their bonuses would be huge.
She even felt that at this rate, she might be able to save enough for a down payment in Shanghai before she turned 30.
"Brother Yang," Guan Fei said, his voice so loud that Yue Shao and the other three downstairs could almost hear him. "Have you been watching TikTok and Weibo?"
"No, what's wrong?" Zhou Yiyang's tone was not very curious, because he could guess what the scene was just by using his toes.
"Brother Yang, you don't know," Guan Fei was extremely proud, obviously not noticing Zhou Yiyang's perfunctory tone. "The hottest trending topic on both TikTok and Weibo was the finale of White Snake: Origin. Several influencers I follow posted their reviews of the finale on TikTok, and they were all positive. I heard some people even cried!"
Not long after hanging up the phone with Guan Fei, Bai Yangyu called again.
Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but shook his head, but still answered the phone. After all, he knew Bai Yangyu well, and if it wasn't something very important, this person wouldn't call casually.
On the other end of the phone, it was Bai Yangyu's anxious voice:
"Mr. Zhou, we can buy trending searches now."
"What direction?" Zhou Yiyang guessed that Bai Yangyu had discovered a good marketing point. After all, hot searches like the finale wouldn't be very appealing to viewers who hadn't seen it.
Today, "White Snake: Origin" has a high retention rate, and what it needs most is to attract new audiences while it is still popular.
I have to say that Bai Yangyu is still very sensitive in this regard.
"As for the simplest love story, although the ending is a bit sad, I've seen feedback from various social media platforms, and everyone thinks Xu Xuan and the White Snake are a fairy-tale love. In fact, this kind of love that leaves regrets and lingering feelings at the end is the most touching to the audience."
"Well, that's good. What slogan do you think we should use?"
"Isn't the ending theme song 'A Thousand Years of Waiting'? I see the plays on Moonlight have skyrocketed again. We could definitely use that, saying it's about renewing the old flame a thousand years later. A love that lasts a thousand years, transcending life and death, and transcending race. I honestly can't imagine a love more sincere than that."
Zhou Yiyang's lips curled up gradually. He had to admit that Bai Yangyu's slogan was indeed well thought out and it perfectly hit the hearts of those young people.
Downstairs, the four girls looked at the box of tissues on the table almost at the same time.
Yes, all four of them cried.
"Oh, now that I think about it, the ending Brother Yang brought about was so cruel. In the end, they weren't even officially together, and it just ended." Tang Yue's complaining expression was as if Zhou Yiyang was the villain who broke up the couple.
"Indeed," Lin Xuan'er nodded, and couldn't help but look at Su Yin: "I think some of the comments make sense. It would be better if I could be with Xiao Xiao Su in the end!"
Wang Xingrui's body trembled, and he immediately looked at Lin Xuan'er: "Xuan'er, what did you just say?"
"What I mean," Lin Xuan'er blushed and immediately explained, "In the play, Xiao Xiaosu's character and I are together!"
"But this kind of unresolved feeling," Su Yin breathed a sigh of relief, "can make people remember it more clearly! So Brother Yang really understands."
"Yeah," Wang Xingrui nodded in agreement. "It was the same when I read novels before. The endings of sad love stories are still fresh in my memory. As for the sweet stories, I forget them after a few days."
When the ending theme of "White Snake: Origin" ended, a push advertisement popped up on the page.
Tang Yue clicked on it and found that it was an advertisement for "The Actors Are in Place".
It seems that Zhou Yiyang is also worried that the popularity of "The Actors Are in Place" will be sucked away, so he quickly attracts traffic.
"I hope everyone will watch 'The Actors Are In Place' after crying their eyes after watching the finale!" Tang Yue said, while posting an advertisement on Weibo: "After all, the show 'Peacock' that I star in will be airing tonight!"
Su Yin covered her face in despair. "My performance in that episode wasn't very good. I already had a feeling I'd be scolded."
Lin Xuan'er and Wang Xingrui exchanged a glance and sighed, "We'd be in trouble! Someone might even say we relied on connections to advance."
However, the four of them definitely hope that "The Actors Are in Place" will become more and more popular. After all, this is their main variety show at the beginning of the year.
Moreover, according to the schedule Guan Fei had planned for them before, they were about to join the crew to shoot a collection of short films jointly produced by several big directors, and they would not be filming variety shows in the short term.
As long as "The Actors Are in Place" does not fail, they will be able to maintain their popularity.
For many young viewers, Yiyang Entertainment’s variety shows are a must-see. After watching the finale of “White Snake: Origin,” many people are already looking forward to the new episode of “The Actors Are in Place.”
Some viewers who were just watching the drama saw this advertisement and found familiar actors in it, and immediately became interested.
"Hey, my girl, isn't this the White Snake from earlier? I like her very much. Let's watch this show later."
"Mom, her name is Su Yin. Do you recognize the beautiful woman next to her? She's the actress who played Xu Xuan!"
"What? This girl is so pretty! No wonder she looks so delicate even in her acting roles!"
Such conversations actually happen in many young people's homes.
Zhou Yiyang saw it from Yue Shao’s fan group. He was very happy because it showed that the four of them were gradually gaining national popularity.
You have to know that traffic and popularity are all fake. Only national popularity can make a star last forever.
In this world, there are two best ways to gain national popularity: the Spring Festival Gala and blockbuster movies and TV shows.
The former depends on luck, but as for the latter, Zhou Yiyang thinks it is still possible with gradual accumulation.
At the same time, the hot searches purchased according to Bai Yangyu's suggestion were officially launched.
People from other major entertainment companies looked at tonight's trending searches, and it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.
But they really could only watch.
However, a big-budget fantasy drama imitating "White Snake: Origin" has already started filming, and no one knows whether it can ride on the popularity.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the second episode of "The Actors Are in Place" officially started broadcasting.
Zhou Yiyang had already arrived at the door of Past Times at this time. He suddenly wanted to experience this long-lost movie-watching atmosphere.
