Chapter 704 National Day War



Moonlight Girls' concert continues to be a hot topic: Jinling Gymnasium is forced to implement traffic control!

The atmosphere was too intense. I sincerely recommend that people with high blood pressure avoid attending the Moonlight Girls concert.

Hotel and transportation prices skyrocket, is the reason actually concert tourism?

Over the course of two months, Moonlight Girls toured four cities, and after each concert, the media was flooded with coverage.

"Compared to your first tour," Zhou Yiyang said, sitting in a room that looked incredibly luxurious, surrounded by Yue Shao and his three friends, as well as other artists from the company. "The second tour's performances were much better. Whether it was the number of people mobilized or the sponsorship received, they were already top-tier."

"No," Zhou Yiyang directly refuted himself again: "Even if he is a first-line singer, the number of people who can hold so many concerts and keep them full is no more than ten."

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, Zhou Yiyang's praise tonight was more intense and direct than usual.

Yue Shao and the other three blushed when they were praised. They obviously didn't expect Zhou Yi Yang to praise them like this.

But on second thought, since the start of the second tour, they have received seven more endorsements, all of which are the highest titles of brand spokespersons.

Capital is the most ruthless, and their recognition proves the success of this concert.

"Brother Yang," Tang Yue's eyes were full of smiles: "I feel embarrassed by your praise."

"Are you still embarrassed?" Su Yin habitually counterattacked Tang Yue: "I thought Tangtang would accept any compliment!"

"I was actually quite worried at first that without any shows during the tour, I'd be worried about the lack of attention." Lin Xuan'er fixed her hair. After two months, she, like the other three, had lost some weight. "But I never expected to be on the trending search list after every tour."

"We don't buy trending searches," Bai Yangyu explained, clearing his throat. "Most of them are found spontaneously by netizens. But if they're hovering at a low level, we'll buy them higher."

"But there are still downsides to touring," Wang Xingrui said, drawing glances from everyone around the long table. "Aside from a few song changes, the setlist remains largely unchanged. A lot of songs are played over and over again, and there's no real challenge anymore."

This sentence really sounded like something Wang Xingrui would say, and the group of people burst into laughter.

"Xuan'er must be feeling uncomfortable too," Tang Yue joked, "Xuan'er can dance our dance with her eyes closed, so she must feel it's not difficult at all."

After a burst of laughter, the topic quickly turned to the upcoming National Day holiday.

After the summer vacation, the entire film market seemed to be thrown into the Arctic Circle, it was extremely cold.

There wasn't even a movie with a box office of over 500 million, causing the industry to complain about the continuous decline.

The National Day period has obviously become the most anticipated period for cinemas, film and television companies and other practitioners.

"But the film market is really not doing well in the second half of this year." Su Yin is a movie lover. When she has free time, she often invites her close friends to book a movie theater. But apart from preparing for her concert, she doesn't have a single movie she wants to see in the second half of the year. "I saw someone analyze that the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is accumulating, and they are actually waiting for a hit to appear."

Luo Chen stirred the plate with a fork and said, "You're not referring to 'Charlotte's Troubles', are you?"

"Well," Jiang Yang, who was sitting at the back of the long table, shook his head. "Ours is just a comedy. It would be nice if we could just drink soup with the other blockbusters."

"Yeah, yeah," Pang Li agreed. They didn't want to be misled. Every movie this year that had high expectations before its release ultimately flopped. "The ceiling for comedies is very low. Most people still want to go to the cinema to see the special effects."

Although Tang Yue also participated in "Charlotte's Troubles", she also had expectations for "Charlotte's Troubles". But like everyone else in the crew, she did not dare to have too high expectations for the box office.

"Besides, those ticket purchasing websites and Douban don't give high ratings to comedies. They either say you're not funny or you're vulgar. Nowadays, audiences pay attention to ratings when watching movies. I hope we won't be affected."

No one else said anything to refute, after all, what they said was true.

After listening patiently, Zhou Yiyang could only sigh that this was the limitation of the times.

On Earth, comedy has long proven its limits.

This type of film itself is a typical example of low investment and high return.

"By the way," Zhou Yiyang looked at Guan Fei, "Pre-sales for the movies released at the same time have all started, right? How are the pre-sales results for each company now?"

There are still three days left until the National Day, and all the movies scheduled for the National Day have started pre-sales.

For most movies, the quality of pre-sales almost determines the final box office of the movie.

Guan Fei had already collected this data. She opened her laptop and said according to the data:

"This year's National Day holiday saw a total of 10 new films released, eight of which were released theatrically and two were purely online. There were five films of larger scale, which also had the most screenings."

Zhou Yiyang had no expression. Through his own connections and agreements, he got the third place in the screening schedule, which was a very impressive start for a comedy.

People in the industry are all sighing that Zhou Yiyang is willing to spend money and has great connections.

"Currently, the top pre-sale and screening schedule is for the big-budget fantasy film 'Return of the Dragon King.' This film stars big-name actress Dong Yinyin and an American film star, and its investment and promotion should be the highest during the National Day holiday."

Zhou Yiyang raised an eyebrow and said, "I've heard before that this movie needs to make over 1 billion at the box office to break even. It's not easy."

"The second-highest pre-sale is a crime drama starring veteran Hong Kong movie stars. This type of film has a very stable audience. The final box office should be good."

"Charlotte's Troubles", which has the third screening schedule, only ranked fourth in pre-sales, and this is because Tang Yue and Luo Chen were specially added to the poster.

Jiang Yang and Pang Li sighed and said with some guilt, "It's mainly because we're not famous. Maybe the audience won't buy tickets after seeing us as the protagonists. If you ask me, I should have let Tang Yue and Luo Chen play the leading roles!"

"We weren't the main characters to begin with," Luo Chen shook his head. "Besides, the pre-sale box office has very little to do with the actors. It's mainly because most people don't like comedies."

"We have to believe in the quality of the finished film," Tang Yue recalled how she'd laughed her ass off watching the uncut version, and she also thought the box office might be able to make a comeback. "There's still three days left, so we'll let the box office speak for itself."

Three days passed in a flash. While the busy office workers flew to various places in groups to start their travel plans, most of the film industry professionals were paying close attention to a series of rising numbers.

The box office war during the National Day holiday began with the first movie at nine o'clock this morning.
