On New Year's Eve, after having dinner with his grandparents, uncles, and aunts, Fang Yang returned to his room. Since lunchtime, his phone had been ringing non-stop with New Year's greetings text messages. Fang Yang replied to each one, and some close relatives even called to wish him a happy new year and chat for a while.

Afterwards, Fang Yang specifically called Chen Chen. The entire Yuewen Entertainment Media company could take a holiday, but the technical department couldn't. Someone had to be on duty 24 hours a day, all year round. Especially after midnight tonight, when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would start uploading and "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" would be released simultaneously tomorrow, they couldn't be without people all the time.

After arranging everything, Fang Yang made a video call to Zhou Xin. Zhou Xin was applying a face mask on the other end of the line. After answering Fang Yang's call, she smiled and said, "Fang Yang, why did you call so late? I've been back for almost an hour."

Fang Yang checked the time; it was just 10:00. "I just made a few calls to the people on duty at the company. You know, today is Lunar New Year's Eve, so we have to send our regards to these unsung heroes."

"Yeah, it must be tougher on your side. My dad and the others have already had a few days of rest. Two of them are going to be on the Spring Festival Gala and they still have to stand their last shift today."

"It's all the same. Actors have it a bit easier, but singers have it harder. How's the restructuring going with your dad's company?"

"It's all set up. My dad owns 60% of the shares, the state holds 30%, and several senior executives each own 10%. Now my dad has truly achieved complete control. He said he's going to make a big splash after the New Year and also said he wanted to thank you for your advice, hehe."

"I have no objection at all. It's just that Uncle Zhou is very skilled. Now that he's put down his baggage, he can easily get into action. I believe things will get better and better for them. After all, his strength speaks for itself!"

"Well, my aunt won't be coming over after the New Year, but I will still go. You need to arrange a job for me quickly, otherwise I'll get moldy if I stay in the company all day."

"No problem. After the New Year, you can spend more time with your family in Beijing. The company has some big plans after the New Year. We should be starting a movie project in April. You can come over then."

"Big move! What big move? Can you share it with me?"

"It's nothing much. The company needs to build its headquarters, and we need to acquire land after the New Year. Only after that will we have time to deal with other matters."

"Yes, this is indeed a big deal. The company is currently scattered all over the place, which makes working there very inconvenient. Do you have a preferred location?"

"The initial intention is to locate in Xihu City, but a final decision will be made after an on-site inspection after the Spring Festival."

"That's good. Actually, I prefer Xihu City to Shanghai. It has beautiful scenery, is a first-tier city, and the traffic is not as congested as in Shanghai."

"I'm glad you're happy. There's a lot going on after the New Year, so you can stay in Beijing for a while longer."

"Okay then. You said you wanted to make a movie, what kind of movie is it?"

"Martial arts movies are quite popular now, so let's start with this genre. It's easier to be accepted, and we just finished filming 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty,' so it's easier to get started with martial arts films."

"Yes, that's a good idea. I support you. My dad's company also owns a cinema chain. We'll ask him to give us more screenings, and it's sure to be a huge hit."

"Hehe, thank you then. The company acquired Dadi Cinema before the new year, and Liangzi has already taken office. If your dad needs support for any movies, you can contact Liangzi."

"Really? Fatty Zhao is alright, and he has strong connections. He's trustworthy."

"Of course! We've been classmates for years and roommates, so I know his personality best."

"Hmm, it's a new year again. Have you missed me?"

"Yes," Fang Yang answered honestly.

"You're quite honest!" Zhou Xin giggled.

...

The two talked on the phone until after midnight. After exchanging New Year's greetings as the New Year's bells rang, they reluctantly hung up.

The Legend of the Condor Heroes had already been uploaded ahead of schedule. Fang Yang checked it before going to bed. Perhaps because it was New Year's Eve, everyone was at home with nothing to do, so the click rate was very high. In just a few minutes, the number of favorites had reached more than two million, which was as good as expected!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the start of a new year, Fang Yang got up to pay his respects to his grandparents, uncles, and aunts, and then began to lounge around. There was nowhere else to go. Fang Yang did not grow up here and did not know many people. It was drizzling outside, and staying at home was the best thing to do.

Fang Hai went out to play after lunch. He hadn't been home for six years, so he was gathering his childhood friends from the village to play cards and chat. Fang Yang declined Fang Hai's invitation to go with him, as forcing unfamiliar people together would only increase the awkwardness.

That evening, "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was released on the Yuewen Entertainment Media website and Shanghai TV on time. Fang Yang did not watch TV with his grandfather and the others, but went home and logged onto the Yuewen Entertainment Media website on his mobile phone to check the viewers' comments.

Whether a TV show is good or not can be determined by looking at the audience's comments. Without the interference of trolls, the comment section can most truthfully reflect the audience's evaluation of the TV series. Fang Yang was even thinking about whether to set up a rating section on the Yuewen Entertainment Media website. He believed that with the nature of the viewers on the Yuewen Entertainment Media website, the rating section would definitely show its charm comparable to a nuclear bomb!

Of course, there is another advantage: setting up a rating section can also bring a large number of new registered users and a considerable number of members to Yuewen Entertainment Media website. In particular, members can bring a huge cash flow to Yuewen Entertainment Media website, which is exactly what Fang Yang urgently needs in the short term.
