Zhou Haijun acted quickly. The next day, Fang Yang had just gotten up, washed up, and was about to go downstairs to make breakfast when he heard Zhou Xin making a phone call from her room. According to Zhou Xin's usual habit, this was her beauty sleep time, so there was no way she would get up! Fang Yang didn't disturb Zhou Xin and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. There was still some fish left over from yesterday, so Fang Yang collected it and prepared to make seafood noodles, which would be delicious and satisfying.

The seafood noodles weren't ready yet when Zhou Xin came downstairs in her slippers, "Fang Yang, my dad's script has arrived. Are you going to read it now?"

"Let's look at it after breakfast. Why is your dad in such a hurry?"

"Sigh, the TV series has been filmed for over a month, and it should be edited in the next couple of days. But the theme song hasn't been decided yet. How can we not be anxious?"

"Your Jinghua Film and Television is a large and powerful company, so getting a theme song sorted out shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Hey, you don't know, Jinghua Film and Television has been doing well in the TV series and film market in recent years, but it has been declining in the music market, especially in original music, where it lacks a top-notch composer who can make a decisive impact."

"It can't be that bad. If all else fails, just throw money at it. There are still a few top-notch composers in China. If we can just poach one, we'll make a fortune."

Zhou Xin rolled her eyes at Fang Yang, "Although Jinghua Film and Television is one of the top large-scale comprehensive entertainment companies in China, its major shareholder is state-owned assets, which has strict requirements on the flow of funds, especially in terms of salaries. It simply cannot meet the salary needs of the top composer."

Fang Yang nodded. State-owned enterprises have both advantages and disadvantages, and it's hard to say which aspect is better. However, the fact that salaries are strictly based on the company's level does not attract top composers at all, and in the long run, it will only narrow their path.

However, relatively speaking, in the film and television industry, they can reap significant policy benefits, and in some countries, they have unique advantages in propaganda channels.

Seeing Fang Yang cooking seafood noodles, the aroma was irresistible, and Zhou Xin couldn't help but swallow hard. She quickly ran upstairs to wash up. She could betray everything in the world, but she couldn't let go of good food. As for beauty sleep, she could take it at noon anyway, and it wouldn't matter if she only took it once in a while.

Just as Fang Yang placed the seafood noodles on the table, Zhou Xin came downstairs. The timing was perfect. Looking at Fang Yang's huge bowl of seafood noodles, Zhou Xin was astonished. "This bowl, including the soup and noodles, must weigh more than half a pound, right?"

"About that, two ounces of noodles, and three ounces of soup and fish."

Wow, you can eat so much! This is at least three times more than my bowl of noodles, but I haven't seen you gain weight from it.

"I use up so many brain cells every day. If I don't eat more to replenish my nutrition, won't I die young?"

"Pah, pah, pah! The bad things don't come true, but the good things do. Don't talk nonsense. Being able to eat is a blessing. As long as you don't get fat, it's okay."

"It's okay for men to be a little chubby, isn't it said that chubby men make you feel safer?"

"But you can't be too fat, because being too fat can cause a lot of health problems, especially that potbelly. It's hard to find clothes that fit well. Look at my dad, with that potbelly, even the best clothes don't make him look like a stylish man."

"Hey, you dare to criticize your dad like that? Aren't you afraid he'll cut off your allowance?"

"I'm not afraid at all. If he doesn't give it to me, I'll ask my mom. My grandparents and maternal grandparents all gave me money too. Let me tell you, I haven't even touched my New Year's red envelope yet!"

"Hey, you're such a grown man, you still get New Year's red envelopes?"

"Of course! I'm the youngest in the family, and my salary is low. How would I survive without a living allowance?"

"Aren't you an actor? You can take on roles in TV dramas and movies when you have free time, and you'll earn some income, right?"

Zhou Xin said aggrievedly, "My dad won't let me go. He says the industry is too chaotic and I can only play roles produced by my own company. But I haven't seen any suitable roles yet, so I can only keep waiting!"

Fang Yang gave a thumbs up, "Characteristic, rich and willful!"

Zhou Xin patted Fang Yang's hand gesture, "Eat quickly, then go read the script. I'll wash the dishes later."

Fang Yang finished the noodles and soup in no time, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and seeing that Zhou Xin had also finished eating, he took the bowl of noodles to the kitchen, squeezed some detergent on it, and washed the bowl.

Zhou Xin wiped the table and saw that Fang Yang had already washed the dishes. She complained, "Didn't you say I was going to wash them? Why are you taking my job?"

Fang Yang laughed and said, "The bowl should be washed while it's hot, otherwise it will have a layer of grease on it and it will be very difficult to wash."

Zhou Xin wrinkled her nose. "From now on, you'll cook and I'll wash the dishes. Don't take my job, or I'll feel so useless."

"Okay, let's go up and see what kind of script it is."

Upon arriving at Zhou Xin's room, Fang Yang found the computer already on. Zhou Xin opened a folder containing an unread file, which Fang Yang carefully examined.

The drama is titled "Plainclothes Policeman." The story is set in the early 1980s in Kyoto, where an old policeman upholds his inner convictions, fights crime, and strives to restore a safe and peaceful living environment to society amidst the chaos of the times.

This script is very similar to a TV series from my previous life, a very old TV series, also called "Plainclothes Policeman". Fang Yang remembers it so vividly because when he was a child, there was a criminal police captain living next door. He would go out on calls day and night. When this series was broadcast, it was during the National Day military parade. He even rushed to Kyoto to attend the parade. He was Fang Yang's idol when he was a child, so he remembered it vividly.

The theme song of this drama is called "Young Ambition Knows No Sorrow," sung by Liu Huan. Of course, at that time, Fang Yang didn't know who Liu Huan was. He only knew that the song was catchy, inspiring, and easy to learn. He learned the song after watching just a few episodes.

The theme song is available, but it cannot be provided now. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain the situation. I can't exactly say that I have all the resources of the Earth available for extraction, can I?

"Tell your dad that I've got some ideas. I'll provide a demo within three days, and then we'll see if it's suitable."

"Really? That's great! I'll have my dad provide the contract right away, and we'll sign it first."

"Tomorrow, no one's at the company today, and there's no need to rush."

"Alright then, it's a deal. Send the contract over as soon as you get to work tomorrow. We don't have anything to do today, let's go shopping again. We didn't buy any clothes last night, let's go to a few more stores today and see if we find anything suitable!"

Fang Yang's face turned bitter. "Do we still have to go? I think that's enough. Two sets of clothes to change into are fine."

"That won't do. You'll be directing movies soon, and you can't wear a suit every day, can you? You'll need to buy a few casual outfits."

"Alright, call your dad first and tell him. We'll pack up and head out. We won't be home for lunch. Let's buy everything we need at once, especially your clothes. Buy a few sets. We can't go all the way to Beijing to get clean clothes."

"Okay, you can go out first. I'll make a call and change my clothes, then I'll come downstairs to find you."
