"Is there any arrangement for the order?" Tang Yue was very concerned about this issue. After all, she was extremely resistant to the idea of ​​collecting materials for horror films.
If Zhou Yiyang hadn't said that the four of them would play the leading roles in each unit's story, she wouldn't have wanted to go.
"No." Zhou Yiyang had expected Tang Yue to ask this question. After all, she was really timid.
Tang Yue seemed to be in deep thought for a moment, then looked at the others at the table: "How about we go out and play first, what do you think?"
Su Yin nodded, pretending not to know that Tang Yue was just trying to put it off as long as possible. "Sure, every time we record a group show, it's like going on a trip. I'm really looking forward to it."
"I guess our fans back home wouldn't have guessed it," Lin Xuan'er said with a beaming smile, putting down a piece of steak. "We've actually secretly filmed a group variety show while we were abroad."
"I forgot to mention," Zhou Yiyang said nonchalantly, "The first episode of this group variety show has been edited."
Naturally, Zhou Yiyang is not responsible for this kind of work. He now has several directors who specialize in variety shows and are more professional than Zhou Yiyang.
"So soon?" Wang Xingrui looked completely surprised. "When will it air?"
"After two weeks, we still need time for promotion." Zhou Yiyang looked at Guan Fei: "Has the promotion been arranged?"
"Yeah," Guan Fei nodded. "We'll start promoting it with all our strength starting tomorrow at noon. To be honest, this is probably the first time we've had such a formal group variety show since we formed the group. I think the fans will definitely like it."
"Of course," Zhou Yiyang looked at the four of them, "There's one more thing I forgot to mention. This group variety show will have an exclusive theme song, and if there's another season in the future, the theme song will be used all the time."
After hearing this, Wang Xingrui and Lin Xuaner obviously sat closer to the front.
"So you still have to find time to go to the studio, but with two weeks, you still have plenty of time to rest."
The four of them quickly accepted this matter. After all, Zhou Yiyang was willing to give them a holiday, which was better than many bosses.
After the meal, everyone returned to the hotel and had a good night's sleep.
Zhou Yiyang was awakened by the sunshine. In March, the weather began to warm up, and the green plants outside the window grew noticeably stronger.
Zhou Yiyang knew that spring had arrived.
And on the first day of early spring, he received more than one piece of good news.
The first one comes from Liu Fenfang:
"As expected, Youtu.com uploaded Yue Shao's live video of 'See You Again', and it's already been viewed over five million times. It's still late at night, so it's no problem for it to reach ten million times in 24 hours."
"Mr. Zhou, this result is considered quite good even for mainstream European and American singers. And I checked it with the paid version, and among the IPs played, besides Japan and Korea, the highest-rated ones are actually from America and England."
"Really?" Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows and rolled over on the bed. "Is this considered an unexpected success? I'm still worried about how to open up the European and American markets!"
Although Zhou Yiyang has no faith in the United States as a country, he also knows that if he wants to truly become an international girl group, he must conquer the United States.
"Do you think this song has a chance to be on Billboard?" Zhou Yiyang shook his head after he said this.
He also knew that the billboard in this world had a similar algorithm to that on Earth, and the results were mainly determined by online streaming, iTunes single downloads, radio stations, and MV plays.
However, "see you again" currently only has one achievement, the MV, which still accounts for the lowest proportion.
"To get on the charts, you have to promote your songs. At the very least, you have to buy iTunes ads and do some PR for Spotify's charts. As for radio, while it has a large share, it's very resistant to songs by foreign artists. Mainstream pop and rhythm stations, for example, simply won't play them."
Zhou Yiyang nodded, it was pretty much what he expected.
America is known as a free country, but there are many invisible restrictions.
On Earth, Gangnam Style, which was once a global hit, failed to win the number one single because of Billboard's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
And now Zhou Yiyang also knows that it would be extremely difficult for Moonlight Girl to win the championship in America.
They came from China and were subject to more restrictions than Goryeo.
"In that case, let's just do some symbolic PR for Spotify! Don't worry about iTunes, it's gradually falling behind the times." Zhou Yiyang made the decision quickly.
The second good news comes from Guan Fei.
"Brother Yang, do you know that as of today, the box office of "The Godfather of Devil City" has exceeded 2 billion."
2 billion? So fast?
Zhou Yiyang hadn't paid attention to the box office for a few days, but he didn't expect that "The Godfather of Shanghai" would have such a good staying power.
How much box office revenue can be earned in the remaining time, and how much money will Shenlong invest!
"Yes, as for the key, I remember it has been extended for a month. It depends on how much Xu Liang has left." Zhou Yiyang estimated that "The Godfather of Magic City" should be stuck at nine and fall before the 3 billion mark.
But even so, it is a foregone conclusion that it has become the highest-grossing film in China.
Zhou Yiyang felt that this result was just right. If it was too high, it would be difficult to break the record.
He also plans to direct a movie every year and break the box office record every year!
If that happens, he might become the director who has broken the most records in the world... and he will never be surpassed.
The third piece of good news was told by Ning Mang:
"'The Godfather' has a positive story and a bright and optimistic ending. My dad told me that the Shanghai government is very satisfied with the film. Data also shows that many netizens have chosen Shanghai as their next travel destination."
"Then what?" Zhou Yiyang was confused. He believed that Ning Mang had not informed him specifically to talk about this kind of thing.
"Then the Shanghai government launched a program to support cultural creation, and you, Old Zhou, got the first subsidy thanks to 'The Godfather of Shanghai.' I know you're not short of money, but this subsidy means that your next film will have a green light from the policy perspective, as long as you don't cross any red lines."
Zhou Yiyang's eyes lit up. This was definitely the best news he had heard this morning.
He believed that he would receive more policy and resource support, but Ning Mang was not in a position to say it on the phone.
"Thank you so much. Of course, I also want to thank the government for their trust in me." Zhou Yiyang raised his lips and said, "Then I have to prepare carefully for my next film."
"I called to remind you of this." Ning Mang lowered his voice, "Make a big splash in your next movie. Get the most out of it!"
Zhou Yiyang chuckled and thanked Ning Mang. He was afraid he would soon receive a notice from the Shencheng government.
This is an opportunity but also a pressure for him.
