The only ones who were kept in the dark were the fans of these four girls.
In order to give the audience enough expectations and surprises, the program performed by Moonlight Girls is kept completely confidential this time.
Various spoiler bloggers can reveal the format of other people’s programs, but when it comes to Moonlight Girl, they don’t mention it at all.
This, however, makes many people feel strange.
"Why is there no news about Moonlight Girls? Could their show have been canceled?"
"How is that possible? Those are the Moonlight Girls, come on! Even if they were to stand there and recite poetry, they would probably still get a peak in the ratings."
"Hey, I don't know what they're going to be performing this time. If it's a music program, will it be a medley? The songs they performed at the World Singer Contest this year, like 'Chinese Language' and 'As Wish,' are both very suitable for the Spring Festival Gala."
"Indeed, the atmosphere and theme are very consistent. I guess President Zhou also thought about this when he was creating it. Their show is really exciting."
"Of course. Moonlight Girl hasn't made many appearances since the World Singer Contest. Well, we fans can only watch their movies."
"Don't mention it, I've watched Chungking Express over ten times and I know all the lines by heart!"
Zhou Yiyang glanced at the comments from netizens and couldn't help laughing:
"If they knew that these four people had so many performances on the Spring Festival Gala, would they be surprised?"
"Of course," Bai Yangyu, who was sitting next to Zhou Yiyang, said with a smile, "The most daring guess I've ever heard is that they will sing two songs. I can only say that the fans' imaginations are still too conservative. I didn't expect Yue Shao to be so popular with the director."
"But their learning ability also surprised me," Zhou Yiyang said seriously. "With so many programs, I was worried they would be overwhelmed, but I didn't expect them to perform so well in the end. I guess the World Singer Contest, where they sing one song a week, really trained them."
"That's true," Bai Yangyu nodded. "Over the past year, the four of them have made rapid progress. Even Tang Yue and Su Yin are now capable singers."
"But, Mr. Zhou," Guan Fei walked over and sat down next to the two of them, "Although the Spring Festival Gala can greatly increase exposure, for our company, revenue is definitely the most important thing. The pre-sale box office of this time's 'Never Gone' isn't doing very well."
Zhou Yiyang's expression finally became serious. He took the phone from Guan Fei and carefully looked at the data she had compiled.
It is obvious that in the first three days of pre-sale, this animated film performed quite strongly and even broke many records of live-action films.
However, later on, pre-sales almost came to a standstill.
Zhou Yiyang took a look at the trend and guessed the reason:
"It seems that the first people to buy tickets were fans. So for more passers-by, their hopes for the animation are still not enough. Most people are just waiting and watching."
Guan Fei hummed, nodded, and said:
"We've been promoting it in various ways, but the results are still mediocre. The public believes the film's quality won't be bad, after all, it's yours. Just like 'Chungking Express,' it's already one of the top ten films of the year in the minds of many film critics."
"But after all, tickets for 'Ne Zha' cost money, and people still lack confidence in the animation. Should we continue to increase our promotion?"
Zhou Yiyang shook his head. "That's not necessary. It's not that there's not enough publicity. It's that people are still prejudiced against this type of film. Unless word of mouth spreads, those who are waiting and watching won't buy tickets."
"True," Guan Fei sighed. "I thought everyone would be more confident after watching Chungking Express. But now it seems that when it comes to investing real money, people will be more cautious."
Zhou Yiyang smiled and said, "That's normal. Even if I filmed it, it's still a cartoon! And the price of a ticket this time is not low. I understand everyone's hesitation."
"That's true," Bai Yangyu scratched his ear. "We can't lower prices privately, or we'd be violating market rules. It's just that during the Spring Festival period, every film company wants to cash in."
Zhou Yiyang seems to be very confident about this film. Even after Guan Fei said so much, he still managed to maintain an optimistic heart:
"It's okay, our movie won't lose money. As long as we wait until the first day of release, the box office will increase significantly. Besides, by then, everyone might have just watched the Spring Festival Gala and be full of anticipation for Moonlight Girls, so they might buy tickets just for their dubbing!"
Although Guan Fei is Yue Shao's agent, she couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhou Yiyang's words:
"Mr. Zhou, even if you're a fan, you probably won't pay for dubbing. Otherwise, all cartoons in the future will have to find popular actors to dub for the sake of box office. But speaking of it, our investment in cartoons is huge even for overseas. I guess many people didn't expect us to be so willing to spend so much."
"Boss Zhou is willing to spend it," Bai Yangyu smiled. "That's because Boss Zhou has plenty of money. Besides, if an animated film lacks even the basic visuals and special effects, how can it attract audiences to the cinema?"
Guan Fei nodded. After hearing what they said, she became more excited about the box office of this movie.
In the next few days, Zhou Yiyang will also go to the studio to check the results of the finished film.
Just like that, time passed in a flash, and there was only one day left until the Spring Festival Gala.
At this time, Zhou Yiyang was walking alone on the streets of Beijing. Looking at the empty streets, he suddenly felt a little lonely.
At this time, the Moonlight Girls were still rehearsing. Tomorrow was the Spring Festival Gala, and every performer had reached the most tense moment, and the four of them were no exception.
So Zhou Yiyang was the only one who had nothing to do and could stroll around the street.
At this time, Zhou Yiyang, wearing a thick down jacket, a mask and a scarf, completely blended in with ordinary people.
He walked into a shopping mall and felt the flow of people.
Looking at the red lanterns hanging in the shopping mall, listening to the festive music, and seeing the smiling faces passing by him, Zhou Yiyang finally felt the true atmosphere of the New Year.
However, what he didn't expect was that he actually ran into an event in the mall.
"Hey, there are a lot of people over there, let's go over and take a look!"
A young couple ran past Zhou Yiyang, which made Zhou Yiyang, who was a little bored, look up and glance at their backs, as if he also wanted to go over there to see what was going on.
