Tang Yue gently nudged Lin Xuan'er beside her with her hand and whispered a few words in her ear.
Lin Xuan'er's eyes gradually widened, and she asked in surprise, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Isn't that just a reasonable guess?" Tang Yue grabbed Lin Xuan'er's hand and said, "You have to trust my intuition!"
After Monica explained her purpose, she did not continue the topic, but asked with interest about their recent itinerary.
"You actors are so good." Monica said with envy after hearing their packed schedule.
"How are you doing lately? Shouldn't you appear on more variety shows?" Lin Xuan'er is still very concerned about Monica's career.
"Ah," Monica shrugged helplessly. "You might not know, but most variety shows these days invite either popular actors or comedians. A pure singer like me is basically not wanted."
Wang Xingrui also knew that this was an industry phenomenon, but she still couldn't help asking, "What about those music variety shows? You sing very well!"
"Although I'm happy to hear you say that," Monica blushed, "I still have to tell you that there are too few music variety shows and too many singers who want to be on them. For a newcomer like me who doesn't rely on traffic, not many people would hire me."
The four of them sighed as they listened, and suddenly thought that if they hadn't had Zhou Yiyang by their side, they would probably have become mediocre like most of the artists who participated in 101.
Seeing their shared sorrow, Monica comforted them with relief:
"Don't be so sad, I still have a lot of TV drama OSTs asking me to do it, haha! I have you guys to thank for that!"
"Ah," Lin Xuan'er looked at Monica in confusion, "Why do you say that?"
"Actually, you guys are very suitable for singing OSTs, especially Xuan'er and Ruirui's voices. But everyone knows that you hardly sing songs other than those by Mr. Zhou, so you thought of me!"
Monica said somewhat proudly, "This proves that everyone still values me! I'll work hard to catch up with you guys in the future!"
"Come on, come on!" Tang Yue said happily, "We all need to make progress together!"
After they came back, Zhou Yiyang curiously asked, "What did you talk about today?"
After listening to their retelling, Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
"I thought about Monica and Aovina knowing each other, but I didn't expect them to have such a good relationship. However, this has nothing to do with you at the moment. When Aovina really plans to enter the domestic market, perhaps this relationship can be used."
Zhou Yiyang looked at the four people and said in a very cheerful tone, "There is something else that is closely related to you. I want to tell you."
Looking at Zhou Yiyang's "pure and flawless" smile, the four of them felt a little scared.
After all, every time Zhou Yiyang showed this expression, what he was about to say next was usually not something good.
"Tomorrow, our TV series 'Asian Horror Stories' begins filming."
This was news they had known for a long time, so it wasn't surprising. So the four of them looked at Zhou Yiyang, waiting for his next words.
"Currently, the show is tentatively scheduled to have only eight episodes. After filming starts tomorrow, I will start promoting it on platforms like Moonlight, TikTok, and domestic platforms like Douyin and Weibo."
"This will be our company's first global TV series, which is of great significance."
At this moment, Su Yin's expression turned serious, yet she couldn't contain her excitement. If this drama was a success, it would mean they could truly become artists exported overseas.
"So," Zhou Yiyang took a sip of water and continued, "You must perform well. I know I shouldn't put so much pressure on you, but I think you can handle it. Don't worry about the publicity. Seize this opportunity. I think you can be like Ao Wenna, invited to sing a few songs in America at a high price, and even become a hot topic and be discussed."
The last sentence completely aroused their desire to win. Yes, Chinese artists have never been worse than those from other countries, but they have always been unknown due to poor publicity channels.
If they can successfully export this time, it will probably have a positive impact on the development of China's cultural industry.
Su Yin took the lead and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry. We will definitely perform well. You have to trust me."
"Well," Zhou Yiyang stopped talking nonsense and handed them the script he had already compiled. "Two episodes, one story. You will be the heroine of each story. Of course, you will also have guest roles in other stories."
Tang Yue glanced at the script in her hand. Just seeing the name of the story made her shudder. It was so intense that she would have a nightmare at night.
Ghost Marriage.
"Hey, Brother Yang, am I playing a female ghost?" Tang Yue's face turned pale. She couldn't imagine whether she would have nightmares every day while acting in this play.
"You'll know after you go back and read the script." Zhou Yiyang smiled and looked at the others: "Do you have any other questions?"
At this time, Wang Xingrui raised her hand: "Brother Yang, I have another question, that is, who are our partners this time?"
"They are all top-tier artists," Zhou Yiyang said in a Versailles tone, "After they heard that the script was mine and the female lead was you, many of them wanted to act in it without any pay."
"That's normal," Lin Xuan'er said seriously. "With this kind of subject matter, and the publicity and promotional measures Brother Yang just mentioned, it shouldn't be a small hit."
"Well," Zhou Yiyang sat back in his boss chair, "You should go back and read the script first, preferably late at night, alone. The more scared you are, the more you need to grasp this feeling. Only when you are truly scared can you make the audience empathize with you."
"Then we can just learn from Tangtang." Su Yin joked.
Tang Yue snorted coldly. She wanted to be tough, but after considering the reality, she said weakly, "Who of you will read the script with me tonight? I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if I read it alone!"
Now Tang Yue doesn't want to live in the big villa at all. She is the only one in the huge room, and when she opens the window, she can see an artificial lake that she can't see the bottom of.
Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.
Zhou Yiyang also specifically instructed: "Remember to read the script tonight. Tomorrow all the actors will be present for a reading and discussion. Because it is a short play, I hope we can finish filming it as quickly as possible before releasing it."
Compared to "The Fortress" which has been scheduled for the Spring Festival, the gap in between can only be filled by "Asian Horror Stories".
Although Zhou Yi Yang also found other directors to shoot film and television works for Yi Yang Entertainment, for the audience, the combination they most look forward to is Zhou Yi Yang + Moonlight Girl.
