Zhou Yiyang's life has been pretty good recently.
After the Youth Gala, his reputation and popularity in the country have reached a new level, and many artists have even come to Yi Yang Entertainment to seek employment.
It can be said that although Yi Yang Entertainment is not as good as those old big companies in terms of the number of artists and self-made resources, in terms of the quality of its products, it is already among the top three in the country.
As the soul of Yi Yang Entertainment, he naturally became the boss that many artists dream of.
Moonlight Girls' influence also reached a new level, and they even stayed at the top of the super topic list for a week. In the end, it was Gao Yanyan's fans who worked hard to regain the top spot.
With the help of Zhou Yiyang, the live version of the video of "Weird Beauty" successfully set off a wave of imitation abroad.
The boss of TikTok naturally did not forget the agreement he made with Zhou Yiyang. After relying on the influence of Moonlight Girl to sweep most of the market in Asia, he used most of the advertising space to promote Moonlight Girl.
"It really has become a virtuous cycle." Zhou Yiyang said with a smile.
"Yeah, who would have thought TikTok would actually develop overseas? Mr. Zhou, you have foresight and established relationships in advance."
Liu Fenfang finally returned to China and planned to meet with old colleagues after reporting on her work.
When she left the company on her own, many people in the industry thought she had made a wrong bet. Who would have thought that she would thrive in Yiyang Entertainment and even run its overseas department so successfully?
Today, she and Bai Yangyu are both known as the two pinnacles of domestic agents.
"That's right. When it goes public separately, according to the agreement, I should be the second largest shareholder." Zhou Yiyang smiled and continued, "Yue Shao's popularity and influence in Asia should be stable at the moment. Next, we still need to try to enter Europe and America. Although it will be difficult, the rewards will be huge if we succeed."
Liu Fenfang nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. Moonlight has been growing rapidly in the United States and Northern Europe recently. I think we can produce TV series and movies in different places that suit their cultural characteristics. We don't need to produce them at the same level as you do, as long as they are above average."
Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows, thinking that what Liu Fenfang said made sense. This was also what he planned to say during the meeting.
After all, he has always wanted to make Moonlight a platform like Netflix.
"That's right. We can start with Japan, Korea, and Siam, which have relatively high market shares. Then you might need to look for local directors. As for scripts," Zhou Yiyang raised his lips, "I actually have quite a few in my collection that you can use. In the early stages, we still have to rely on hits to build our reputation."
Liu Fenfang nodded. If Zhou Yiyang was willing to write the script, that would be great. He was Zhou Yiyang! She was just habitually helping her boss with his worries and was afraid of tiring him out.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. I will notify my team immediately and ask them to find a suitable director."
Zhou Yiyang waved his hand and said, "Alright, you have a date, go now. I won't keep you here any longer. Just come back for another meeting in a few days."
Liu Fenfang slipped away immediately, but did not forget to flatter before leaving.
Zhou Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief, but did not relax immediately.
While the four of them were mainly engaged in business activities this month, Zhou Yiyang had a very important event at the end of the month.
That is the Cannes Film Festival, which has considerable influence around the world.
Compared to the Oscars, which prefer American films, the Cannes Film Festival is fairer and pays more attention to the quality of the film itself.
Zhou Yiyang didn't expect to win an award on his first Cannes appearance; that wasn't realistic. But at least getting a high score in the program book, or even a nomination for Best Picture or Best Director, would be the best.
"It would be nice if Helian Bei could be nominated for Best Actor," Zhou Yiyang thought cheerfully. "No matter which nomination it is, it's an exciting thing."
After all, since Zhang Yingyuan, it has been a long time since a domestic director was recognized by an international film festival.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yiyang took the initiative to greet Zhang Yiling on WeChat.
Guessing that she was probably still sleeping, Zhou Yiyang started checking her circle of friends.
Zhang Yiling’s circle of friends is quite colorful. She posts more than three messages almost every day.
Either they complain about what happened at school, or they share their colorful extracurricular life.
However, what made Zhou Yiyang feel different was that when he first met Zhang Yiling, she particularly liked to post some "non-mainstream" painful literature late at night.
But now she doesn’t, she goes to directing classes every night.
Of course, this is not a class from a tutoring institution, but a one-on-one tutoring session specially provided for Zhang Yiling by several famous Australian directors who were asked by Zhang Yingyuan.
"He's truly the second generation. His starting point is simply beyond the reach of us ordinary people."
Zhou Yiyang returned to the chat box and found that Zhang Yiling had actually replied to him.
"Haven't you slept yet?" Zhou Yiyang joked.
"Uncle Zhou," Zhou Yiyang read her words, imagining the other party's slightly contemptuous tone: "You are such a successful person, don't you know that the time difference between Australia and China is only two hours? I just got home from school, how come you are asleep?"
Really? Zhou Yiyang touched his nose and awkwardly skipped over the previous topic: "Well, your grandpa should have told you that our movie 'Léon: The Professional' was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival."
"Yeah, I know." Zhang Yiling, carrying her bag, lined up obediently to get on the school bus.
The classmates who used to go out and play with her after school could only watch her from afar. They gradually realized that Zhang Yiling was no longer from the same world as them.
"Then let's meet in France at the end of May?" Zhang Yiling had just sent the message when she saw one of her classmates coming to her side.
"Who are you texting?" The other person raised his glasses and asked curiously, "Let me guess, it's not your boyfriend!"
"How is that possible!" Zhang Yiling immediately rejected this idea. It was too crazy. Zhou Yiyang was her grandfather's student, and logically he was a generation older than her. How could she possibly be in a relationship with him? "Send a message to my uncle."
"Oh." The other party was quite disappointed: "Your uncle is a very nice person, after all, you were smiling when you sent the message just now."
At this time, Zhou Yiyang replied:
"Well, see you in France. I might go to Paris first, I have other work to do."
Zhang Yiling put away her phone and thought about her trip to France in the near future. She actually felt a little bit of anticipation.
That's Cannes. I hope her movies can win awards there in the future!
