The person in charge immediately greeted us with a smile and apologized sincerely:
"We didn't make it clear. Actually, I only had my eyes on them at the beginning. But this wasn't entirely my decision. Someone else recommended other artists."
"So," Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows, "you can't make the final decision at all. In that case, I don't think there's any need for us to continue the discussion. In our China, the most important thing in doing business is integrity."
"Mr. Zhou, that's not the case," the person in charge quickly asked Zhou Yiyang to sit down. Their station's invitation to a girl group idol was a compromise and an experiment. After all, this group's fans do have high purchasing power and are highly active online. Nowadays, all satellite TV stations around the world are facing the impact of online self-media. "After discussion, we've decided on Moonlight Girls. You saw the actress who just left; she's an award-winning actress. She's probably holding a grudge against us for rejecting her."
Zhou Yiyang quickly regained his composure: "In that case, let me see the contract first!"
Two days later, the day before the Moonlight Girls concert, news spread like wildfire that they would appear in a commercial produced by Tokyo TV.
The Internet in Japan was in an uproar, and the four members of Yue Shao, who were involved in the incident, were also fighting on the front line of the melon-eating.
"As expected, most people think this is fake news." Tang Yue said without surprise: "After all, our identities are still not very presentable in the eyes of most people."
"That's not necessarily true," Wang Xingrui found a few comments supporting them. "Look, they say we're not just a girl group idol group, but also actors and singers. Some even listed our achievements in China to prove that it was normal to choose us."
Su Yin glanced at the densely packed performance chart and once again felt the powerful fighting spirit of fans: "Looking at it this way, we are more powerful in the music industry! In addition to commercial success, we have also won many awards. On the other hand, in the film industry, the cumulative box office is far ahead of others, but we haven't won any of the three major awards."
"We all know that the three major awards are more cautious with young actors." Lin Xuan'er leaned towards Su Yin. "And, Xiao Xiaosu, your performance this time, I have a feeling you can win an award."
"Definitely not," Su Yin knew in her heart: "I was suppressed by the other two teachers in "The Godfather of Magic City". I still need to improve."
"How long have you been in the industry?" Tang Yue gently stroked Su Yin with her hand. "Both teachers are veteran actors. If you surpass them in just a few movies, how will we survive?"
While the topic was still hotly discussed online, I didn’t expect that Tokyo TV actually came out to confirm this.
In an instant, the discussion became more heated. Whether it was Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, Japanese people were discussing this matter.
"Why are they doing this? They've only been in the industry for a few years, and the people at TV Tokyo have something on them?"
"Come on, it must be Zhou Yiyang's trick. Look at him in Goryeo, going in and out of all kinds of top places, chatting and laughing with celebrities. There must be something behind him."
"Haha, the capitalists are really getting more and more fond of feeding us ordinary people shit! We have so many good actresses in our country, but they don't choose them and find a Chinese girl group to film it!"
Zhou Yiyang really thought that the public opinion would be one-sided, but he didn't expect that Yue Shao's fans in Japan were so powerful.
They fought one against a hundred and actually ended up with a 50-50 situation with the opponents.
Tokyo TV was naturally delighted. The fact that a public service announcement could attract so much traffic and attention proved that they made the right decision in choosing Moonlight Girl to shoot the film.
They also knew that the looks and acting skills of these four people were more than enough for the commercial. When it aired, the public opinion would definitely turn around. Who doesn't care about looks these days?
It was not until the evening that Zhou Yiyang returned to the hotel.
"Regarding the commercial," Zhou Yiyang said straight to the point after meeting them, "It's already been decided. You don't need to worry about the online reviews. Get a good night's sleep tonight, and I wish you a successful performance tomorrow."
"Brother Yang, you came here just to talk about this?" Su Yin asked.
"That's right," Zhou Yiyang glanced at them, not noticing any nervousness on their faces. "After tomorrow night, you can relax. These eight months of touring have been really hard on you."
"But it was worth it," Lin Xuan'er said with a smile, "At least the four of us have improved in singing and dancing."
Tang Yue also nodded. "Actually, I feel a little reluctant to see the tour end like this. Actually, this fulfilling life of performing in a different city every month is quite interesting."
"It's really surprising to hear Tangtang say this," Wang Xingrui said with a smile covering her mouth. "I think our fans back home must miss us too."
All four of them slept well that night.
There are still eight hours until the concert.
Zhou Yiyang watched their final rehearsal and gave them a warm round of applause along with all the staff.
"Very good, keep up this performance, the audience will definitely go crazy for you!" Zhou Yiyang did not hesitate to praise.
Guan Fei quietly came to Zhou Yiyang and whispered, "Brother Yang, there are already fans queuing outside."
"So early?" Zhou Yiyang realized that he had always underestimated the enthusiasm of Japanese fans. "Are there many people?"
"There were so many," Guan Fei recalled the scene she had just seen, still feeling incredible. "And they all seemed to be male fans. Every one of them was wearing clothes with Yue Shao's portrait printed on them, and they were shouting slogans in unison."
"That's great," Zhou Yiyang was very kind to his fans. "It's lunch time now. Go order lunch boxes for them and send them over. Use their names."
This is not the first time that Guan Fei has done this, otherwise the rumors about Yue Shao pampering his fans would not be widely circulated in the fan circle.
There are still five hours until the concert.
A young boy was standing behind the crowd. He was the lucky boy who got a photo taken with Yue Shao when he was on the show.
He even became a celebrity in the school because of this, but many students also mocked him for being an otaku and a fan of girl groups.
However, here, the eyes looking at him were all envy, without any malice.
"You are the lucky boy, I want to be like you!"
"Can I stand with you? Maybe I can take a photo with Master Yue!"
"You're really capable of taking action. I should be the first one to rush over!"
The boy was caught off guard. His hobbies that would be ridiculed were respected here.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing. So this is what it felt like to laugh unrestrainedly.
When everyone around him shouted Moonlight Girl's name at the top of their lungs, he did the same.
He believed that he saw the brightest sunshine.
"One hour left, all departments, get ready!"
