They stayed in Shanghai for only one day before flying to Japan.
However, the battle for the Spring Festival period has already started before the movies are released.
"Brother Yang, is this director crazy?" Tang Yue grabbed her phone and took advantage of a break in the dance rehearsal to complain, "Come and see!"
Everyone rushed over and saw a director and his crew kneeling in front of the screen, begging major theaters to schedule more screenings for his film.
"This..." Zhou Yiyang was stunned. He didn't expect this kind of operation to work. "But they must know that the screening schedule for the first day of the Spring Festival will only be based on the contract. No matter how much he begs, they won't change the schedule. But this is also a way to increase popularity."
"Brother Yang is amazing," Wang Xingrui admired him very much. "He actually thought of this. I felt a little sorry for him just now!"
"How should I put it," Zhou Yiyang's words were still cruel, but also true: "Since you planned to enter the Spring Festival period, you should have expected this result. If you ask me, why bother squeezing into the Spring Festival period? There will be nothing in March and April!"
"Everyone likes to go to the movies during holidays, and the box office is high." Tang Yue shook her head: "I really don't know what other movies will do next."
Not long after she finished speaking, Zhou Yiyang saw a video.
In the video, the male and female protagonists of the movie are interacting intimately, and even promised that if the box office can exceed 1 billion, they will turn their fake relationship into reality.
"Are there any other operations that I can't think of?" Zhou Yiyang frowned. This was his first time entering the Spring Festival period, and he only now realized that there was much more competition here than in other periods.
On the day before New Year's Eve, Moonlight Girls welcomed their promotional program in Japan.
This is an outdoor live broadcast program that is very popular online and is watched by young people.
"The format of this program is very simple," Guan Fei explained. As Yue Shao's de facto manager, she naturally came to Japan with them. "The invited guests will receive a task card on the day, asking you to run a store."
"Store?" Su Yin blinked, wondering if she had misheard. They had been rehearsing for the past few days and had no time to watch variety shows.
"Well, all kinds of shops may appear, and the program team will also broadcast the entire process live online." Guan Fei paused before saying, "In the end, the program team will compare your sales. So it doesn't matter what you sell, what matters is that you sell the things."
"That's actually a disguised form of popularity comparison?" Tang Yue quickly grasped the key point. Isn't this just a limited-time comparison of traffic and fans to see how well the same endorsement sells, but with a prettier packaging?
"Not necessarily. In the past few episodes, there have been several cases where artists with average popularity have become popular idols. During the live broadcast, everyone will do their best to attract the audience, and those with outstanding talents or creativity are more likely to stand out."
"Isn't this show good for us?" Lin Xuan'er analyzed. "We're probably not as well-known in Japan as local artists. And the audience is probably more inclined to support local artists, right?"
"Our goal isn't to win," Zhou Yiyang said, walking up to them. "We just want more people to know you. Besides, this show is live all day, so you can easily promote the concert. And you can even dance and sing, which is your advantage. And since there are four of you, you can easily have two of you selling things while the other two show off their talents."
"That's right," Wang Xingrui suddenly came to her senses. "It doesn't matter what we sell, and it doesn't matter what place we get. Our main goal is to increase our visibility."
However, this format, where the results can only be known on the day of the show, still raised the expectations of the four people.
In the evening they even went into a room to discuss possible situations that might arise the next day.
"I specifically watched the editing," Lin Xuan'er said, once again displaying her utmost seriousness. "The shops that appear on the show are quite regular. Restaurants, for example, appear in every episode, sometimes more than one. Clothing stores, luxury goods stores, and drugstores also appear quite frequently. The worst part is, I remember a young male idol randomly ending up in a maternity and baby store and being completely bewildered the entire time."
"I feel like some stores are doing better business," Tang Yue pouted. "I hope we can pick a simple one tomorrow. I don't want to sell electronics anyway. I don't understand anything about it."
The four of them exchanged glances, realizing that electronics were indeed their blind spot. If they wanted a phone or computer, they could either ask Zhou Yiyang or Bai Yangyu, or just buy the most expensive one.
As for performance and black technology, I know nothing about them.
"Actually, the worst thing is," Su Yin whispered, "selling brands that just had quality issues. Isn't that a scam?"
"The program team should review it," Wang Xingrui paused, then added uncertainly, "But I'm not surprised by anything the Japanese seem to do!"
"Anyway, there's no way they're asking us to sell adult products..." Lin Xuan'er frowned, "That would be too disgusting."
However, the four of them all shuddered, feeling that only the Japanese could do such a thing.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yiyang was chatting with Pei Le. He thought he could definitely buy the copyright and create a similar show. He thought many artists would volunteer to participate, as it would bring him publicity.
By the way, the store owner will definitely be willing to cooperate actively, and then he can make profits from it.
The next day, Zhou Yiyang followed them to the scene.
Guan Fei stood aside nervously. She had a dream last night in which Yue Shao was randomly assigned to sell a cemetery. In the end, something went wrong with the cemetery he sold, and a female ghost crawled out of it...
"Sister Fei, are you not feeling well? You look so bad." Wang Xingrui handed her the thermos cup.
"It's okay," Guan Fei shook her head. "Except for you, the other five groups of artists in this episode are all quite famous. Do you see those three girls over there? They are a female heavy metal band and are very popular among teenagers.
That middle-aged man with glasses is a familiar face in family dramas, very famous among the middle-aged and elderly..."
"So we're the least famous," Tang Yue said, which only aroused her fighting spirit: "It's not like we haven't sold goods before, we can definitely win!"
At this time, the staff and translator came over and reminded them that they needed to send a representative to draw lots.
So Su Yin was pushed out by them all.
Wang Xingrui silently thought of a restaurant in her mind, Tang Yue hoped it was a drugstore, and Lin Xuaner wanted to sell books or flowers.
The six guest representatives each chose a card that looked identical. After scratching off the layer, they saw the store they needed to run.
[Arashi Fried Food Shop].
