Fang Yang has been a bit annoyed these past few days. It's the May Day holiday, and the number of tourists at Shaolin Temple has increased. Every day, different tourists come up to ask for autographs and photos, which seriously affects the filming schedule. Only after Mo Zhen reminded him did he realize that some netizens had uploaded photos and even made it to the trending topics. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. How bored must these people be to talk about this every day?

In order to avoid being disturbed, Fang Yang had no choice but to move the crew into the woods. They would focus on filming the scenes in the woods during this period, and then film the other scenes a few days later. This way, they could avoid being disturbed by netizens and speed up the filming process.

On June 1st, Fang Yang returned to Shanghai. The film "Frozen" had been completed and was released on that day as a gift to Children's Day. The first screening was at 7:30 pm, and Fang Yang went back to attend the premiere.

At noon, Fang Yang landed at Shanghai Airport. Zhao Liang, who rarely stayed in Shanghai today, drove to the airport to pick Fang Yang up.

"Liangzi, how's the pre-sale for Frozen movie tickets going?" Fang Yang hadn't logged onto the internet yet and wasn't very familiar with the situation.

"The situation is not very good. Currently, three of the five major cinemas have given Frozen an 8% screening rate. Kyoto Cinema is slightly better, giving it 12%. We have given it 38% in our own cinemas. The total value of pre-sale tickets is now over 18 million."

"Are they all for tonight?" Fang Yang wasn't surprised. It was a fact that animated films weren't doing well at the box office, and no one could blame anyone else for that.

"They're all showing tonight. Our cinema is offering a 20% discount, so the total box office is a little over ten million."

"Then there's no problem. It's not the weekend, so we should be satisfied with this box office performance. The important thing now is the word-of-mouth. As long as the word-of-mouth goes up, the box office growth will be no problem." Fang Yang wasn't too worried about the opening of more than ten million. That's just how the environment is now; you can't expect to get rich overnight.

After having a quick lunch and resting for a while, Fang Yang asked someone to call Zheng Xiuli over. It had been almost half a year since Zheng Xiuli released a new song, and her popularity had waned. It was time for her to release a new song to revitalize her career.

Still speaking in her usual soft, gentle voice, Zheng Xiuli greeted Fang Yang sweetly as soon as she saw him, "President Fang, it's been a long time!"

Fang Yang didn't have time to say much. He handed over a sheet of music and said, "This is a new song. Graduation season is coming soon. Hurry up and record this song and upload it. You'll get unexpected results."

Zheng Xiuli took the sheet music and couldn't help but sing along:

In those fleeting years, we

How many times did I say it?

Delaying after saying goodbye

Unfortunately, who doesn't have it?

Love is not a single event

Eloquence on the Seven Emotions

······

"President Fang, this song is so beautiful, I love it!" Zheng Xiuli exclaimed with delight, clutching the sheet music and looking at Fang Yang with adoration.

"Hurry up and practice. I'll release a song tomorrow, and yours will be released a few days later, just in time for graduation season."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fang. I'll go practice singing now, hehe."

Zheng Xiuli grabbed the sheet music and ran out. Fang Yang then sent the sheet music for "My Deskmate" to Zhu Laosan. He believed they would have a day to work out the accompaniment and record the song tomorrow morning.

Not long after they sat down, Yang Huajin and Zhou Kai came in hand in hand. "Xiao Yang, you must have had a hard time these past few days."

Fang Yang waved his hand: "It's nothing serious. We'll wrap up filming in another half month. How's things going at West Lake?"

"It went very smoothly. The approval has been granted from above. The three connections are currently being made in Xihu City. Our construction team has already entered the site to level the land. We estimate that construction can officially begin in August." Zhou Kai smiled broadly when talking about things in Xihu. The preliminary work was finally completed, and Zhou Kai could finally put his mind at ease.

"The most urgent things to do are to build the headquarters building, employee dormitories, and cloud data center. We hope to move into the new office building next year." Fang Yang knew that the company's current development was facing a bottleneck. Without enough office space, it would be impossible to recruit more of the talents the company urgently needed.

"Don't worry, everything is proceeding according to plan. There are no residents around, so we can continue construction 24 hours a day."

"Uncle Yang, is the rating function on our website ready? Let's launch it now that Frozen is out and see how it goes?"

"It's all set up. As you requested, we'll implement a 'one ID, one ticket' system, requiring users to provide their ID card and movie ticket when rating a film. This will greatly reduce malicious rating behavior."

Fang Yang nodded. "Although malicious ratings are unavoidable, doing this will at least make things fairer. After all, it's impossible to please everyone; some people will like it and some won't. We can't guarantee that everyone will like it like Money, but we can still be fair enough."

"Hehe, Xiao Yang, you've thought this through very well. I believe that in the near future, Yuewen ratings will gain public recognition and become the most watched rating website," Yang Jinhua said with a smile.

"Xiaoyang, I have an idea. If a movie is invaded by the fan economy, the rating still cannot guarantee fairness. After all, fans are the first to buy tickets and support the movie, and their ratings will be very high. This still cannot guarantee that the movie will be very good."

Fang Yang thought about it and realized it was indeed a big problem. Aren't those critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful films produced precisely because of this? So he looked at Zhou Kai and said, "Your idea is very reasonable. Do you have any solutions?"

Zhou Kai carefully considered his words, "One solution I can think of is to refine the rating system, dividing it into audience ratings, professional ratings, and fan ratings. This would reduce the impact of fan wars on ordinary viewers. The second solution is to move the cast list to the end, which would reduce the number of actors praising or criticizing each other."

Fang Yang looked at Yang Huajin and asked, "Uncle Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Huajin nodded, "I think that's a good idea. Malicious ratings can't be completely eliminated, but we can only try to be as fair as possible. I'll add these measures in a bit and see how they go."

"Okay." Fang Yang changed the subject. "Frozen premieres tonight. Has the company sent out invitations to the film critics?"

"I've already sent them out. I'll tell these people later. It'll be a good opportunity to give our professional ratings a little advertising boost."

"Okay, I'll explain these features on the company website later to increase netizens' enthusiasm for rating, which will be a good way to warm up for tonight's movie."

"Hehe." Yang Huajin and Zhou Kai laughed at the same time. "When our Seven Star Cinema is built, we can invite these film critics to come and give their reviews, and we can also warm up the audience in advance."

Fang Yang laughed too, "That's certainly possible. Maybe one day we can even co-organize an awards ceremony. With such a large cinema, it's quite convenient to hold anything."

The three exchanged a smile, a glint of fire burning in their eyes.
