News related to Zhou Yi Yang, or news related to Yi Yang Entertainment, no matter how big or small, can almost always be quickly discovered, understood, and discussed by the audience.
"Am I seeing things? Zhou Yiyang filmed a TV series that was shown in Goryeo?" After this post appeared, it quickly became popular.
It is now commonplace for domestic TV dramas to be introduced from abroad, and most netizens have become accustomed to it.
However, it is indeed the first time that many people have seen a domestic director shoot a TV series and then release it online in foreign countries.
[Is this true? This is so confusing! Why isn’t it being shown in China?]
[This post doesn't even have a screenshot. I'm afraid the original poster is deliberately trying to stir up trouble. At most, it's just a TV series invested by Mr. Zhou!]
[A Korean student told me that I saw advertisements for "Kingdom" everywhere today. It's also produced by Yiyang Entertainment, and it's exclusively available in Korea on Moonlight. However, the actors and director are all Korean, so strictly speaking, this is a Korean drama.]
[After listening to the explanation above, I finally understand. Mr. Zhou is very brave. This wave seems to be very risky!]
[This is quite interesting. They're earning foreign exchange, right? Haha! But is it really not possible to see this in China anymore? Even if it's postponed, it's fine!]
[I'm looking forward to it. I went to watch it tonight and read the Korean comments.]
Before long, the content of this post was forwarded to various online platforms by major marketing accounts.
So it didn't take long before most netizens knew that there was a TV series called "Kingdom" that would be launched in Goryeo soon.
There are mixed reviews about Zhou Yiyang's actions.
Some people think that he is trying to please foreigners and is unfair to domestic users, and even began to doubt Zhou Yiyang's political stance.
Some people also think that this is a good thing, as it can make Moonlight more popular in Goryeo and can be considered a form of cultural output.
Zhou Yiyang, who is the center of the topic at this moment, is sitting on the set drinking tea, looking quite relaxed.
"Mr. Zhou, have you read all the comments online?" Guan Fei glanced at Zhou Yiyang and found that he really didn't seem to care about those comments.
"Yeah, I saw it." Zhou Yiyang smiled and said, "I found that my popularity is not bad. I can easily become a trending topic."
The actors who were sitting behind Zhou Yiyang to rest also covered their mouths and laughed.
"Brother Yang, that's not true," Luo Chen said with a smile, "I suspect if I could manage Weibo more, Ling Hu and I would probably drop several places on the super topic list."
"That's true," Ling Hu nodded. "Mr. Zhou, you are the one who is truly responsible for the bloodbath."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Zhou Yiyang stretched. "They're just scolding me, but I don't have any fans controlling the comments, and they still feel a sense of pleasure in defeating the capitalists. But what they say is not important. What matters is how many people can watch tonight."
"Should be quite a lot, right?" Su Yin raised her head and said, "I'm in regular contact with a few members of Working Girls, and they told me that there's a lot of discussion about Kingdom on Twitter and Instagram. Brother Yang, what is this TV series mainly about? Zombies?"
"Are they really zombies?" Tang Yue only heard about it from hearsay and didn't dare to delve into it. She was afraid that while researching, she would suddenly come across a terrifying picture and then she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. "This subject matter seems to have a lot of buzz."
"Yeah," Lin Xuan'er agreed with Tang Yue's point. "I'm really looking forward to what it will be like. So, is Brother Yang really not going online in China this time?"
"Of course not," Zhou Yiyang stood up as the entire crew and cast prepared to begin filming for the afternoon. "Based on its popularity in Korea, I'll choose an appropriate time to release it. And it won't just be released in China, other countries will follow. Going forward, we'll invest in more and more web series produced internationally, guaranteed to be featured on Moonlight."
"That sounds great," Wang Xingrui said excitedly, "In the future, these foreign users will increasingly recognize the Moonlight brand!"
"Okay, let's continue filming, friends." As soon as Zhou Yiyang spoke, everyone returned to where they should be.
Liu Fenfang is also closely following public opinion in Goryeo. The current level of discussion is relatively stable, and everyone is interested in this topic.
However, due to platform limitations, many people are still taking a wait-and-see approach. After all, Moonlight's popularity in Korea is still far behind that in China.
They all planned to wait for word of mouth to come out before deciding whether to download Moonlight.
At this moment, the director who was dissatisfied with Zhou Yiyang frowned. The current discussion and direction were far from his expectations.
He really didn't expect that so many people were looking forward to "Kingdom".
A costume zombie drama? He thought it was a genre no one would watch!
"It's okay," the director consoled himself. "We'll know how it fares after the show starts. Besides, the popularity right now is only decent. It won't be easy to break out of it."
At six o'clock in the evening, the captain of Working Girls and Bai Ling both retweeted the trailer of "Kingdom" on their Twitter and Instagram, and the accompanying text also expressed their great anticipation.
In an instant, tweets about the release of "Kingdom" today skyrocketed and successfully reached the top of the hot trends.
Working Girl is still the top star among the top stars in Goryeo. Although Yue Shao has won several weekly championships in Goryeo, there is still a gap compared with Working Girl's four consecutive new singles winning the championship.
Not to mention that their new album released this year broke the record and became the highest-selling album in the first week by a Korean girl group.
The recommendation of Working Girl was very important to "Kingdom". All of a sudden, it attracted more people to pay attention to this TV series.
"Mr. Zhou," Liu Fenfang said, her voice still a little excited. "I didn't even contact them, but they took the initiative to tweet and promote us. In just the past hour, our downloads in Korea have already reached number one today."
"So exaggerated?" Zhou Yiyang felt that he had underestimated the popularity of working girls in Goryeo. "But I still have to thank them very much. If we have a drama in Goryeo that suits them, we can invite them."
Liu Fenfang nodded, not reminding Zhou Yiyang that their pay was quite high. Money was never a big problem for Zhou Yiyang anyway.
At nine o'clock in the evening, many domestic netizens had already climbed over the firewall and logged into Moonlight in the Goryeo region.
The pop-up ad on the homepage is for "Kingdom," which will be launched at 10 o'clock tonight.
In the promotional poster, the majestic King sits on the throne, accepting the worship of his ministers.
However, in the shadows behind him, there was a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him hungrily. Under his throne, countless dark blue and dry zombie hands were crawling towards his body.
"Oh my god!" Tang Yue shuddered: "I'm going to have a nightmare tonight!"
Su Yin and Lin Xuan'er looked at each other excitedly: "This poster is so exciting and thrilling!"
"The male lead is quite handsome," Wang Xingrui said with a smile, "I don't know what zombies look like, but they have to be as scary as possible!"
