As he was about to leave work, Fu Ming rushed back to his office, exhausted from his journey. He had been working tirelessly these past two days to bring back his old subordinates. There were two people he couldn't reach by phone, so he went to their homes to visit them in person. He had run all over China, and now he could finally return to report to Fang Yang. In a couple of days, the crew would be complete, and they could start casting and location scouting for "Loser Men and Women".

Upon entering the office, Fu Ming saw Fang Yang typing away at the computer, his fingers almost moving like a blur. He was astonished. No wonder Fang Yang had achieved so much; his typing speed after being single for over twenty years was truly remarkable.

When Fang Yang saw Fu Ming come in, he stopped typing, saved the content, and then asked Fu Ming, "Director Fu, how's the contact going?"

Fu Ming: "Finally, they've lived up to expectations. They'll all be gathering and coming over in the next couple of days. All that's left is for Manager Fang to notify the people from Kyoto Film and Television to come for auditions."

Fang Yang called Yang Huajin before telling Fu Ming, "The company is preparing to launch the 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty' project and co-produce it with Shanghai TV. So, you'll be in charge of 'Loser Men and Women.' Find a capable assistant director. I'll write four seasons of 'Loser Men and Women' for you. Take the time to film them all. This will prevent difficulties in reuniting the main actors once they become famous. The actors aren't our people, and no one can predict what will happen in the future."

Fu Ming was surprised to return from his trip and find himself promoted from assistant director to director. He immediately declared, "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I will definitely make 'Loser Men and Women' a perfect film!"

Fang Yang nodded and said to Yang Huajin, who had just walked in, "Give a call to Jinghua Film and Television. Casting for 'Loser Men and Women' will begin in three days. This time it's a four-season shoot, which will take more than half a year. Remind Jinghua Film and Television to arrange their schedules accordingly. Also, 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty' has been officially launched. Ask them if they have any suitable actors to recommend."

Yang Huajin: "What are the requirements for the actors in 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty'?"

Fang Yang: "Some are veteran actors, and some are young actors with good acting skills. We don't recommend actors with big names, high prices, or black marks. In particular, we don't want any of those traffic stars."

Yang Huajin laughed and said, "I'll tell them to do a screening first, then send over a list, and we'll screen it again and send out audition requests to the selected candidates."

Fang Yang clapped his hands and said, "Hey, Uncle Yang, your idea is good. It will prevent too many people from auditioning and creating chaos. The actors for 'Loser Men and Women' should also be selected in this way, trying to choose actors who fit the needs of the scenes."

Turning around, Fang Yang said to Fu Ming, "Director Fu, you are the most important person on set. You don't need to give face to anyone. If a director can't manage the actors, then such actors can be dismissed. Quality is the most important thing."

Fu Ming was moved and said, "President Fang, please rest assured, I will handle everything well!"

Fang Yang handed the script for the first season of "Loser Men and Women" to Fu Ming. "Director Fu, this is the first season. Take it back and study it first. I will send you the electronic version later. I will write the script for the next three seasons within a week. Shanghai TV wants to broadcast this show in the 6 o'clock time slot. After you finish filming the first season, submit it to the editor for review as soon as possible, take a break for a while, and then film the second season."

Fu Ming silently accepted the script, his heart filled with excitement. He had spent ten years working with the renowned director Wang Jialiang, dedicating the best years of his youth to the project. Although Wang Jialiang valued him and provided him with much guidance, the strict rules of Yuehai prevented him from ever having the opportunity to direct. Now, having come to Yuewen, he had the chance to direct, even if it was just a web series. It was a good start, and Fu Ming vowed to do his best to make this series a success.

Fang Yang was completely unaware of Fu Ming's inner thoughts. After giving the two some instructions, Fang Yang packed up his things to leave work. Just before leaving, he suddenly called out to Yang Huajin, who was walking towards the door: "Uncle Yang, I have finished writing the calligraphy copybook. You can give it to the publisher when you have time and see when it can be typed and printed."

Yang Huajin took the thick stack of calligraphy practice sheets and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll contact the publisher tomorrow. They've been urging me a couple of times to print it before the start of the school year in September. I saw you were very busy, so I didn't ask you right away."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "Then give them to them. I think you should also find an assistant. There are so many things to do in the company every day, and they all fall on your shoulders. Don't let them break you down in the long run!"

Yang Huajin laughed and said, "We're already recruiting. The company is developing so fast that we can't keep up even if we try to run."

Fang Yang said emotionally, "Fortunately, you all gave me the greatest support from the rear, otherwise I would have a terrible headache every day."

Yang Huajin waved his hand: "Xiao Yang, please don't say that. We are all people without much ability. We thought we would just live our lives in mediocrity. You gave us the motivation to fight and rejuvenated us. Now, we feel like we have inexhaustible energy every day."

Time and space change. Jinghua Film and Television received a notification from Yuewen Media that Fu Ming had taken over the directing rights of "Loser Men and Women". Auditions would be held at the Huamei Hotel in Shanghai in three days, and the filming would take place over four seasons. This caused an uproar. Many trainees were eager to join the cast, and agents called Guan Yue late at night to try to secure opportunities for their artists.

After receiving the audition notice, Guan Yue called Zhou Haijun to report the situation. Zhou Haijun, who had just arrived home, was also puzzled, "Wasn't Fang Yang supposed to be the director? How come Fu Ming is now the director, and it's going to be a four-season shoot?"

Guan Yue said, "The news from Yuewen is that Yuewen and Shanghai TV are preparing to jointly produce 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.' Shanghai TV will invest 20 million yuan, and Fang Yang will step back to direct 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.' I just saw the news that Shanghai TV has bought the first broadcast rights to 'Calabash,' 'Loser Men and Women,' and 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.' It seems that Fang Yang and Shanghai TV have reached a deep cooperation."

Zhou Haijun took a deep breath. "It seems that Ouyang Ming has a lot of guts. He dared to cooperate deeply before these three dramas even took off. He acted quickly too. He's tied the future of Shanghai TV station to Fang Yang."

Guan Yue smiled and said, "Perhaps it's an investment from Shanghai TV. After all, Fang Yang is based in Shanghai and has many places to cooperate with. Twenty million is not a small amount, but if an experienced director is sent, even if Fang Yang knows nothing about directing, he can still make a classic based on the quality of 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty'."

Upon Guan Yue's mention, Zhou Haijun suddenly realized, "It seems that Lao Huang from Shanghai TV is at a crucial moment in his bid to become a second-tier director. If he succeeds in making 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty,' even if he's only listed as assistant director, it will be a great bonus."

Guan Yue suddenly realized and laughed, "Ouyang Ming really has a brilliant plan. Buying a second-tier director for 20 million is a good deal."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Haijun saw Zhou Xin staring at him with wide, unblinking eyes and said helplessly, "You heard everything?"

Zhou Xin remained silent, only staring at Zhou Haijun. Zhou Haijun had no choice but to say, "If you want to go, then go, but be mindful of your image and don't cause me any trouble!"

Zhou Xin raised her hand and gave a "YES" sign, then ran into the kitchen to chatter with her mother. Zhou Haijun was helpless; she was the only little darling in the family, so he had to protect her.
