Unfortunately, Lin Xuan'er is a good girl. Her parents have taught her not to fall in love too early since she was a child. She didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Ye Kongjing's attention to Zhou Yiyang.
Isn’t it normal to care about your leader?
But Wang Xingrui is different. She is an ordinary girl who has been full of fantasies about love since she was a child.
It's a pity that she had read too much Mary Sue literature, so her concept of love was too unrealistic. Naturally, she couldn't perceive Ye Kongjing's attitude towards Zhou Yiyang, the way she viewed her son-in-law. In her opinion, all couples should fall in love at first sight and be together for life.
As for Tang Yue, although she seems to be quite open-minded, she has actually never been in love and has no idea about it at all.
So none of the four people at the table noticed the hidden meaning in Ye Kongjing's words.
Ye Kongjing herself was a little confused, and somewhat glad that Zhou Yiyang respected the four of them and did not have any messy thoughts.
Otherwise, given the level of trust these four people had in Zhou Yiyang, they would probably have been abducted by Zhou Yiyang long ago.
And Zhou Yiyang did return to the hotel alone.
He was lying on the soft big bed, with soothing music playing in his ears, which made him feel more comfortable.
He liked this kind of music very much, as if it instantly took away his physical and mental fatigue.
Originally, Zhou Yiyang wanted to take the opportunity to take another look at the praises on the Internet for all the Yiyang Entertainment members tonight, but he didn't expect that he fell asleep instantly.
When Zhou Yiyang woke up, the first day of battle in the film market had already begun.
The first thing that everyone pays attention to is the film schedule.
Generally speaking, the cinema's film schedule is decided by the cinema manager.
What the manager needs to consider is the actor's fame, the influence of the IP, the type of movie, the pre-sale box office and how much money the film company has given.
Yes, during the Spring Festival period, if you don’t have money, it will be difficult to get a screening at least in the first two days.
So after seeing Zhou Yiyang's movie being a huge hit during the Spring Festival, everyone wanted to rush into this seemingly sure-win period, but they didn't expect that they would be ripped off by the cinema first.
Zhou Yiyang also paid money this time. Although he has a good relationship with most theaters, he cannot break the market rules.
This kind of admission fee is indeed unreasonable, but who makes everyone want to enter this period?
Judging from pre-sales, "The Lotus Lantern" can only be ranked third at present.
The first one is a fantasy film jointly invested by Hongtao Entertainment and Xinghai Entertainment, adapted from a popular online novel.
The pre-sale is currently leading the pack, not only because of the popularity of the IP itself, but also because the marketing costs of this film are guaranteed to be at least 200 million.
Zhou Yiyang remembered what Bai Yangyu said to him that day:
"Mr. Zhou, I remember everyone initially saying you were a marketing genius. But now, no one mentions that anymore because everyone realizes marketing is so common, and each one is more ruthless than the last."
Zhou Yiyang hummed and chuckled:
"That's true. I'm not willing to spend 200 million on marketing. Lately, when I open all my apps, all I see are ads for 'Kunhai War Chronicle'. But judging by the pre-sale results so far, this marketing money is at least useful."
Apart from the first place "Kunhai War", the second place is a comedy.
Zhou Yiyang was not surprised. There is no doubt that the most suitable subject matter for the Spring Festival period must be family comedy.
This movie, which brings together many domestic comedy stars, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Even their own artists Jiang Yang and Pang Li made guest appearances, and Zhou Yiyang also made a symbolic investment.
Zhou Yiyang is still looking forward to this comedy called "The Hangover".
And ranked third is "The Lotus Lantern".
Don’t think that fans of Moonlight Girl and Yi Yang Entertainment are dissatisfied with the pre-sale results.
In fact, judging from the results, the pre-sale performance has far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Many people couldn't believe that so many people were willing to spend money to watch an animated film in the cinema.
Shouldn't this kind of cartoon be watched for free on children's channels?
This is also where Zhou Yiyang feels a little powerless. In this world, cartoons are for children, and this idea is deeply rooted.
Many people don’t know that cartoons can actually be made for adults.
In the eyes of many people, the pre-sale performance of "The Lotus Lantern" is already a reflection of Moonlight Girl's strong fan appeal.
"Honestly, even though it's currently in third place in pre-sales, it's all due to fan loyalty. After the first day, the box office will definitely fall short of expectations. I don't know why the theaters are giving it so many screenings. Don't they have brains?"
"I also think there's nothing interesting about a mythological story like 'The Lotus Lantern'. Even if it were made into an animation, I wouldn't be interested. I don't know why there's such a huge investment. Is it money laundering?"
"But Zhou Yiyang is so rich. It shouldn't matter if this movie fails. But I still hope Zhou Yiyang won't be so willful. You are not a god, and you can't handle all the themes!"
Zhou Yiyang glanced at the discussions on the Internet and felt very calm.
"The Lotus Lantern" is currently ranked third in the screening schedule, but in fact the gap between it and the fourth and fifth places has not widened.
If the box office on the first day is lower than expected, it is foreseeable that the screening schedule will be drastically cut, there is no doubt about that.
Fortunately, Zhou Yiyang is confident in the quality of this film...
However, he thought about it and realized that apart from the trailer, it seemed that he had not updated any materials for a long time.
Moreover, there were not many screenings of "The Lotus Lantern" in the morning, and the word-of-mouth effect has not yet come out.
We really should do something now to attract the audience.
Zhou Yiyang picked up the phone. Bai Yangyu's tone on the other end of the phone was still a little tired, which made people wonder what he and Guan Fei had done last night.
"woke up?"
Bai Yangyu hummed, "Mr. Zhou, is it possible that someone is smearing the movie? That's impossible. No company in the industry would risk going against you by buying a trending search saying that 'The Lotus Lantern' is unacceptable, right?"
This is also a common operation in the circle.
Zhou Yiyang still remembered that Ning Mang had mentioned to him that a film he invested in inexplicably became a hot hit.
His first reaction was that his music was too highbrow and he didn't understand the audience's feelings.
When Zhou Yiyang checked, he found out that he had bought it for another movie that was released at the same time.
It’s a pity that the company didn’t know that Ning Mang was behind this movie. It seems that the company has now disappeared from Beijing.
…
"First, release the news that Yue Shao will sing three songs. It will definitely attract people to watch."
