"Hello," there was a knock on the door, followed by the sweet voice of a staff member. "Excuse me, is Mr. Zhou here?"
Zhou Yiyang, who was already lying on the sofa playing games, raised his head. Tang Yue glanced at Zhou Yiyang habitually, as if wanting to ask for his opinion.
So after Zhou Yiyang nodded, Tang Yue spoke:
"Yes, what's up?"
The assistant sitting closest to the door immediately went to open it.
The staff member first glanced at the Moonlight Girl who was resting in the dressing room, then measured her body and asked a girl behind her to show up.
"Bai Ling!"
When they saw Bai Ling, they became excited in an instant.
The staff member added, "She said she wanted to come see you guys before the party started, so she asked me to bring her here. I'll be leaving now. You guys can chat slowly. There's still some time before your performance!"
Bai Ling was now happily sitting next to them. She glanced at Zhou Yiyang who was not far away and greeted him politely:
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I came over to chat with them, is that okay?"
Zhou Yiyang nodded, clearly not particularly concerned. "Of course, no problem. Speaking of which, this is your first time performing in China since you went there, right?"
Bai Ling nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhou. But I was in Korea before, and I also like to watch our country's evening parties when I have time. I am very happy to be invited to perform this time."
Zhou Yiyang nodded, and he didn't ask any more questions, giving the home court to the four girls who were eager to try.
Su Yin grabbed Bai Ling's hand, looked at her face and said, "You've lost weight recently. You look different from the last time we saw you."
Wang Xingrui beside her also nodded, obviously she had discovered the same problem.
"It's probably because you have too many activities," Lin Xuan'er said with a smile, "Your new album and concert must have broken records!"
"Yes, it broke the record." Bai Ling smiled and continued, "It's the same with you. If we talk about the most popular artists in China right now, you're the ones who come to mind. And if we compare our sales to yours, we can't even compare."
Although Bai Ling was telling the truth, the four of them all humbly waved their hands and said, "We can't compare them like that. After all, the numbers are different!"
Bai Ling didn't dwell on this topic any further, but instead talked about Aoveena: "To be honest, when we were invited, we didn't know she would be coming. It was only when I returned to China and came here today that I saw it."
"Is she also very popular in Goryeo?" Su Yin asked curiously.
"Her songs are quite popular. As for her personality, I don't think she's as good as you guys." Bai Ling said seriously, "But she's very popular in Japan. Every new song she releases there is a hit. It's scary. After all, with America as her backing, their promotional methods are really scary."
"So," Tang Yue said, stroking her chin, "she's also planning to enter China. Doesn't that mean she'll use the same marketing tactics? Brother Yang, do you think she can replicate their success?"
"That's hard to say," Zhou Yiyang said, putting down his phone. "Her advantage is that there haven't been any foreign artists popular in China in recent years, so maybe she can fill that gap. Her disadvantage is that domestic artists have already met the audience's needs in recent years, so there won't be any special expectations for foreign artists."
The four people felt that what Zhou Yiyang said made sense at first glance, but when they thought about it carefully, it felt like nonsense.
"What about you guys?" Zhou Yiyang looked at Bai Ling: "I thought you would come to China to develop last year!"
After all, most artists from Japan and Korea will try to develop in China, because the Chinese market is huge and the profits are high!
"I think if I tell you the truth, you will all laugh at me." Bai Ling scratched her head, her face slightly red, and spoke embarrassedly.
"How could that be?" Lin Xuan'er shook her head gently. When Bai Ling saw Lin Xuan'er's expression, she also dispelled her concerns.
"Actually, our group wanted to develop in China, and the timing was pretty much the same as what Mr. Zhou mentioned. But then your second album was a huge hit, and then your tours were all over the place, even reaching international popularity. Not to mention Moonlight was also developing globally."
Bai Ling paused, then continued:
"We're all a girl group, four people at that. We weren't competitive enough compared to you guys in China, so we gave up. To be honest, we came here to perform this time because the announcement fee was quite high. Honestly, domestic variety shows are really generous with their money. In Korea, we're considered a top-tier group, but our income isn't that outrageous."
The four of them felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. They didn't expect that they would be so feared in the eyes of the big company behind the working girl.
"In the future, I will probably try to come here to appear on shows and promote my music, but my focus will still be on Korea. But for me, I still hope to stay abroad more, so that I can go home more often."
Bai Ling originally wanted to stay for a while, but unfortunately her captain called her repeatedly, so she had to return to her room.
Zhou Yiyang glanced at the four smiling faces and continued, "Although you've been praised, it might just be a compliment. Don't get too proud. The domestic audience will definitely be more demanding of you. Let's watch the opening performance first!"
At this time, Tang Yue winked at Zhou Yiyang, and Zhou Yiyang could only raise his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?"
"Brother Yang," Tang Yue quietly pulled out a tablet from her bag. "For the opening performance, I think it's better to watch Xiangjiang TV. After all, the opening performer is the one we're most familiar with."
"Yeah," Su Yin realized after Tang Yue reminded her, "This time, the opening act for Xiangjiang TV is Brother Hu. I'm really curious about his performance later."
Although Lin Xuan'er and Wang Xingrui didn't say anything, their expressions showed that they supported Tang Yue's opinion.
"Then watch it. Luckily there's no live camera in this room, otherwise you'd be trending on the internet."
The opening act for Beijing TV this time was a well-known Hong Kong singer. They certainly didn't disrespect each other, they just preferred to watch their friend's performance, which Zhou Yiyang could understand.
Ling Hu's solo this time was still very stable, at least it was an improvement over before.
Luo Chen sat with Bai Yangyu and Helian Bei, watching Ling Hu's performance on TV, and Luo Chen couldn't help laughing.
"It seems he practiced secretly. He sings really well."
"You're still a little nervous." Helian Bei commented seriously, "You should relax a little later."
Guan Fei looked at the ratings nervously. She came with Ling Hu today, so naturally she wanted to see Xiangjiang TV become the ratings champion.
In the real-time ratings, Xiangjiang TV maintained first place with a slight advantage, and Guan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
