As "She and Her" was about to end its theaters, it was July and summer officially began.
The weather outside was extremely hot, but the cinema was a little too quiet.
No one could have imagined that the much-anticipated summer season would fail to meet industry expectations in its first month.
Zhou Yiyang's new film, which was highly anticipated, was eventually withdrawn from theaters with a box office of 370 million yuan due to subject matter limitations. This was also thanks to the promotion of two songs, "Summer Wind" and "Painting Heart".
However, this result is actually the best result in the first month of the summer season.
Almost every week, the blockbuster movies cannot escape the fate of being eliminated in the first round.
Yi Yang Entertainment had no other movies released during the summer vacation, so Zhou Yi Yang naturally stopped paying attention to the market conditions in the film industry.
Anyway, his movie still made money, not to mention the peripheral music videos, which eventually sold over a million copies.
Thanks to Liu Fenfang's efforts, "She and Her" was also released in Southeast Asia and Goryeo.
The total box office revenue was over 20 million, and after deducting the distribution fees, it was still profitable.
Considering the population of these places, this result is quite good as a foreign language film, especially a Chinese film rather than a Hollywood film.
Compared to other big-budget, star-studded blockbusters, "She and Her" has accomplished its mission.
This month, Zhou Yiyang spent most of his time filming movies, except for occasionally watching Yue Shao and his three friends rehearse and tour.
Now that "Charlotte's Troubles" has reached the final stage, he plans to release it on National Day.
On the one hand, many people go to the movies during this period, and on the other hand, the movie is also released during the same period on Earth. Zhou Yiyang hopes to be blessed with good luck.
"Mr. Zhou." Bai Yangyu waited until Zhou Yiyang announced the crew's end of work before speaking, "The second season of 'Springtime of Music' will air its final episode on Sunday. According to our previous plan, the annual gala should be about to begin."
"Yeah," Zhou Yiyang nodded, seemingly not too surprised by the news. "Guan Fei specifically told me about this before. I've already given her the list of potential invitees."
In the practice room, Tang Yue and Su Yin were sitting next to Wang Xingrui and Lin Xuaner, seemingly encouraging them.
"Don't be too nervous about Sunday's game," Tang Yue said, observing the two's expressions. She found them both quite composed. "Sister Fei told me before that we'll still attend the annual ceremony as a group."
"Actually, Xuan'er and I both think so," Wang Xingrui said, "Just treat it as a chance to sing one more song."
"Well, Brother Yang also let us choose whatever songs we wanted. So after Ruirui and I discussed it, we decided not to miss the opportunity to promote our songs. I chose 'Summer Wind' and she chose 'Painting Heart'."
Su Yin was not surprised by their choice. In fact, during the resurrection match, Lin Xuaner didn't even post a promotional post on Weibo.
In her view, the team comes before the individual.
However, Yue Shao’s fans still sent her to the final night.
"Anyway, the ratings on the final night will definitely be high. Such a good exposure opportunity should be missed!" Su Yin said with a smile.
The ratings of "Springtime of Music" have always been the first in the same period. Even if compared within a week, it is second only to the hit talent show "Perfect Girl".
After all, a music show can be watched in recording, but a talent show still needs to be watched live as soon as possible.
"I think Brother Yang is more focused on the annual gala later," Lin Xuan'er said, rubbing her legs. "I heard that in addition to singers like us who have participated in two seasons of the music show, there will also be big names who have never been there before."
"I don't know why," Tang Yue touched her nose, "When you mentioned this, someone immediately came to my mind."
"Who?" Wang Xingrui herself had her own guess: "I think it's Teacher Wen Yuan. She even sent me a private message a few days ago, asking me to cheer for the final night."
"Tangtang guessed it should be Helian Bei, Brother Bei!" Su Yin interrupted Tang Yue, "If he and Teacher Wen Yuan both come, it will be exciting. I don't know what the annual ceremony will be like. If it's a competition, that would be interesting."
"A competition?" Wang Xingrui's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something interesting. "If it really is a competition, then I'm really looking forward to it. I've always wanted to compete on the same stage with Teacher Wen Yuan!"
Before they left the practice room, they found out that Zhou Yiyang had already returned from the set.
He found them before he even had time to change his clothes.
Guan Fei on the side whispered: "Don't be nervous, we are talking about the closing night."
Tang Yue and Su Yin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something big was about to happen.
"I really won't interfere with your songs in the first round," Zhou Yiyang said straight to the point, not wasting time. He had to go back to the company to discuss the format of the annual ceremony. "But I think with your popularity, it's very likely that you'll make it to the second round. If you don't sing new songs, your fans will definitely be disappointed."
In fact, for other singers, releasing ten new songs a year is already a very impressive thing.
However, this is Moonlight Girls. Their fans have long been spoiled and wish they would release a new song every day.
"Although you two will definitely attend the annual ceremony as a group, you still have to give your all to Sunday's competition. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the fans who are looking forward to the show."
Wang Xingrui and Lin Xuaner both nodded. They were the type of people who would give their all to any show as long as they could perform.
"As for the new songs, I've already thought of them, and they'll all be included on your solo albums. These two songs aren't too difficult for you two, and you'll definitely be able to master them by Sunday."
"So we don't have to practice dancing these few days?" Tang Yue couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
Although she tried her best to hide her joy, Zhou Yiyang still heard it:
"For you and Xiao Xiao Su, it's even easier. It just so happens that your level can't keep up with them, so I found a few teachers to give you special training these days. Good luck!"
Su Yin couldn't laugh anymore. After Zhou Yiyang left angrily, she and Tang Yue wailed together.
So she never understood why so many haters implied that their popularity was accidental, and thought that being in a girl group was much easier than being a singer.
She didn't know that a singer would prepare more than ten completely different choreography and dozens of performance costumes for a concert, and sing and dance for more than two hours.
Tang Yue and Su Yin looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't they participate in "Spring of Music" in the first place?
Although Wang Xingrui and Lin Xuaner sympathized with the two, they still had new songs to learn and maybe even practice new choreography, so they both went to study the new songs first.
