Zhong Zhifeng pondered and said, "The competition between short videos and live streaming is indeed fierce now, but we have a natural advantage. Backed by a children's theme park, we can maximize the advertising effect. Speaking of short videos, I have another suggestion. Don't we have TV series and movies being filmed all year round? We can start by making short videos and uploading interesting events during the filming of movies and TV series. This can also keep the movies and TV series in the pre-heating stage."

Chen Fushu smiled and said, "Manager Zhong's words really resonated with me. It's like going to war; supplies come first. If we don't reveal the filming content, this will increase the exposure of our lead actors."

"Hehe." Everyone was amused by Zhong Zhifeng's brilliant idea, so everyone supported prioritizing short videos and establishing a short video website, which could be put into use after the New Year. Short video technology is very mature now, so it couldn't be easier for Chen Chen.

Since the remaining departments were not closely related, Fang Yang solemnly proposed the establishment of a security department. Everyone had heard about Fang Yang's near-accident in Guangzhou. Although he was extremely unhappy with the security guards arranged by the organizing committee, there was nothing he could do. However, everyone was treated equally, and he could only blame himself for not being adequately prepared.

Since Fang Yang had already proposed the establishment of a security department in the company's future organizational plan, this was just an earlier step. Moreover, the company's artists were often away from home, and relying solely on their agents and assistants for company support did pose certain safety risks. Therefore, the plan was quickly approved.

As soon as the meeting ended, Fang Yang called Fang Hai and asked him to come to Shanghai as soon as possible to set up a security department. Fang Yang happened to be in Shanghai for the next few days, and when Fang Hai arrived, he could introduce him to Yang Huajin to facilitate his future work.

Back in the long-missed office, Yang Huajin followed him in. "Xiao Yang, CCTV's New Year's Eve Gala would like to invite you to sing a couple of songs. What do you think?"

Fang Yang asked curiously, "Didn't the CCTV Gala already have all the performers? Why are they still inviting people now?"

"Generally speaking, there are several rounds of rehearsals and eliminations. There are still several rounds of rehearsals, and the participants haven't been finalized yet. However, since you've been given a specific song, you definitely won't need to rehearse. You just need to rehearse in the last round."

"Are they all solo performances? Why are you being so easy to talk to now?"

Speaking of this, Yang Huajin felt proud. "That's right. Now, the entire CCTV Gala doesn't even have more than ten solo performances. This time, they gave you two. It's probably because you shone so brightly at the Chinese Golden Melody Awards that the director made the decision!"

"Really? Looks like they've benefited from the Chinese Golden Melody Awards. They even skipped rehearsals. Did they specify which two songs they wanted?"

"As I said, after the opening song and dance, the first person to go on stage will sing 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' (Wishing You Prosperity), and then in the middle they will sing 'The Lone Warrior' (The Lone Warrior)."

"It has to be the director of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. He has a good eye. Both songs are very appropriate for the occasion. Okay, I'm going to Kyoto this Spring Festival anyway, so I'll agree to his request."

"You're going to Kyoto for Chinese New Year? Not going to northern Jiangsu for the holiday?"

"After returning from Kyoto, I'll go to northern Jiangsu." Fang Yang paused. "Xiao Xin's grandfather wants to see me. He wants to make a military-themed movie for next year's National Day celebrations, so I need to write a script and see if I can get approval from the higher-ups."

Yang Huajin was overjoyed upon hearing this, "That's great! If we can get in touch with the military through this, it will be much easier for us to make military-themed films and TV series in the future. Right now, apart from Jinghua Film and Television, no one else in China has this connection."

"Jinghua Film & Television is a state-owned holding company, which gives it a unique advantage in this regard. If this venture is successful, Jinghua Film & Television will also be a partner. No one can exclude Jinghua Film & Television in this regard."

"Military films are a huge money pit. If Jinghua Film and Television could invest with us, it would greatly alleviate our financial pressure and also share the risks. Xiaoyang, the construction of our headquarters has only just begun, but the investment is like a bottomless pit. We simply don't have enough money."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The construction site is operating on a three-shift system, working day and night. And that's only because there are no residents around the site; otherwise, how could things be going so smoothly?"

"This is the first time I've realized that money can be so short-lived. We invested a billion yuan initially, and in just two months, they're already in dire need of funds."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "They also settle accounts in stages over there, but their construction speed is fast, and several projects are being carried out simultaneously. The construction company gets the funds quickly, so they are naturally more motivated to work. Just imagine how much they crave cash flow when thousands of people are working around the clock on the entire construction site."

Yang Huajin was naturally aware of the situation over there. However, as the head steward, seeing large sums of money flowing out, even though it was for the construction of the headquarters, still made Yang Huajin feel a burning pain in his heart. Spending money is easy, but making money is hard. Being the head steward is not an easy job!

The approval document for another 1 billion yuan allocation will be signed by Fang Yang. Yang Huajin can make his own decisions on the transfer of funds up to 50 million yuan, but he does not have the right to transfer large sums of funds. Fang Yang must sign it personally. This is also for the sake of financial security. All companies are more or less the same, regardless of whether they trust each other or not.

"By the way, Uncle Yang, Director Zhang of Yangcheng TV has made arrangements with the port city. The connection for opening a port on our website to the port city area has been smoothed out. Could you arrange for someone to organize a team to contact the port city side and finalize this matter as soon as possible?"

One surprise after another happened today, and Yang Huajin was a little overwhelmed. However, he still said immediately, "Okay, I didn't expect Director Zhang to be so capable. He got it done in such a short time. Let Ma Wenhua lead the team. It would seem disrespectful to them if the level is too low."

“Alright, let Ma Wenhua stay there for a couple more days to get a feel for the situation in Hong Kong. If things go well, we’ll need to set up a branch there so that we can handle things from a distance and also make it easier to open up the Hong Kong market.”

"Well, in that case we'll have to recruit a batch of local employees. We can just send one or two managers over. If we send all the staff from our side, it won't be good for the work to go on. Even a foreign dragon can't easily suppress a local snake!"

Yang Huajin stroked his chin, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to assemble the team. Unlike the mainland, xenophobia was rampant there, and if all the people sent were from the mainland, they would definitely be ostracized by the locals.

"You should discuss this with Ma Wenhua. It would be best if the leader were from Guangdong Province, otherwise it would be very difficult to communicate in terms of language. Although some people there speak Mandarin now, Cantonese and English are still the mainstream. We should do as the Romans do."

Yang Huajin nodded, "This is indeed a problem. If all else fails, we can hire someone else. The same problem applies to finance. Most of our current finance staff are from Shanghai, and I'm afraid it wouldn't be suitable to send them to Hong Kong!"
