Fang Yang, a struggling bar singer, soul-transferred into a parallel universe where he inherited a dying website and a music academy, graduating from a student who lost both parents. He revived th...
Tan Zhaofeng's company, Nandu Film and Television, is located in Xihu City. "I don't know about other things, but this time Yuewen Entertainment Media bought 6,000 acres of land in Xihu City to build its headquarters. I heard that it was the Xihu City Party Secretary who brought in the investment. Yuewen Entertainment Media will invest 500 billion yuan in its Xihu City headquarters to build a children's theme park and film and television base. Moreover, Fang Yang and Secretary Ouyang are close friends and have a very good relationship."
Wang Minghua laughed and said, "There must be a reason for this. When Fang Yang first started out, Secretary Ouyang was the director of Shanghai TV. It was Secretary Ouyang who had the ability to recognize talent. He got to know Fang Yang when he was still a nobody and packaged all of Yuewen Entertainment Media's products for broadcast on Shanghai TV. During that period, Shanghai TV made a fortune and gave out bonuses until their hands were sore."
Zhou Haiqing laughed and said, "That's what they should have the ability to do. Look at what Shanghai TV has now. Secretary Ouyang created such good conditions, but he left and the tea was forgotten. Guangzhou TV got a good deal. They made a fortune from 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'."
"Speaking of which, Fang Yang is quite shrewd. The entire closed loop has now been formed. Yuewen Entertainment Media website and Yuewen Cinema make them invincible. As long as they don't do anything reckless, they are not afraid of anyone. Look at this rating incident now, they are sitting calmly and are not afraid at all. We still have to figure out how to solve this problem."
Tan Zhaofeng was based in Xihu City and had some understanding of Fang Yang. Although he had never met him, he had heard about Fang Yang's affairs. Tan Zhaofeng had even personally attended that press conference, but Fang Yang was seated on the podium, so the two could not meet.
"Brother Tan, you'll be working with Yuewen Entertainment Media in the same place from now on, so you'll probably have a lot of collaborations. Don't forget about us then."
Wang Minghua suddenly remembered this matter and couldn't help but inquire about it.
"Brother Wang, to be honest, I did attend Fang Yang's press conference in Xihu City last time, but all the attendees were city and provincial leaders, and I was sitting below with no chance to interact with Fang Yang."
Tan Zhaofeng didn't hide anything. Many companies from Xihu City participated in that event, making it a grand occasion. Even though Ma, the richest man in the country and a business tycoon from Xihu City, wasn't in the country, he sent a representative to attend, showing great respect. Unfortunately, Fang Yang was too busy and didn't have the opportunity to meet him.
Wang Minghua had also heard about the previous incident, and upon hearing this, he laughed and said, "That's for sure. That time it was mainly government agencies, how could we film and television companies have a chance to participate? But you said Fang Yang claimed he would invest 500 billion, where did he get so much money?"
Zhou Haiqing chimed in, "That's hard to say. Let's buy the land first. As for the subsequent investments, we can invest a little bit whenever we have the money. It's not like we're asking you to invest all at once."
After a moment's thought, Wang Minghua understood the situation. "Fang Yang is quite bold. With the current investment, he should have at least 10 billion yuan. Fang Yang has only been in the industry for a year and a half, and he has already accumulated this much wealth. This is something that ordinary people cannot do. So, the fact that the master behind Yuehai Media is so eager to bring Fang Yang down shows that we have a vision that is beyond our reach."
Zhou Haiqing said, "We are in China. It's okay for our own people to fight amongst themselves, as long as they don't cross the line. The country will turn a blind eye. After all, there is no progress without competition. But if a company like Yuehai Media has an island nation background and tries to stir up trouble here, it will eventually be dealt with. I think Yuehai Media only dares to stab people in the back now. It's probably because it has been warned and is forced to do so."
Wang Minghua stopped and said, "We won't talk about government matters here. We also need to find out as soon as possible the evidence that Yuehai Media's online army was involved. The longer it drags on, the bigger our trouble will be. As long as we put the evidence out in the open, all the firepower will be focused on Qingcheng Film and Television. Maybe our movie can even make a lot of money because of this. You know, our movie rating is not bad on Yuewen rating."
After the three-person online meeting ended, Tan Zhaofeng also fell into deep thought. After Yuewen Entertainment Media moved into Xihu City, the once dominant Nandu Media was now facing a formidable opponent. Even the long-established film and television company Nandu Media dared not confront Yuewen Entertainment Media head-on.
In December, the month of the battle of the gods, a newcomer named Zheng Xiuli defeated all the top singers and queens of the Taiwan Strait. Not to mention Fang Yang, who is even more powerful, it is likely that all the kings would retreat as soon as he stepped on the stage. He is a monster who is not a king but a king. No one dares to face him head-on!
The thought that the two companies would soon be operating in the same city gave Tan Zhaofeng a splitting headache. There can't be two tigers on one mountain, unless the old saying that one should be male and the other female is not without reason. But deep down, Tan Zhaofeng did not want to be enemies with Yuewen Entertainment Media. There was no benefit to it, and he had no chance of winning.
After summoning Su Guang, the head of the promotion department, and assigning him the task of investigating the online trolls, Tan Zhaofeng couldn't help but ask, "Any news about the construction of Yuewen Entertainment Media's headquarters lately?"
Su Guang thought for a moment, "President Tan, does the topping-out of their headquarters building count?"
Tan Zhaofeng was surprised. "Their headquarters building is already topped out? I think it was only four months ago?"
Su Guang nodded. "It seems that Yuewen Entertainment Media spent a lot of money to ask the construction company to speed up the process. The construction company worked in three shifts, 24 hours a day, and invested a lot of manpower. Basically, it was one floor every three days. Now the staff dormitory has been completed, and we are just waiting for the headquarters building to be topped out this month."
Tan Zhaofeng gasped, "This speed is truly frightening. One floor every three days, and they've even built the employee dormitories. And the server room cluster over there, is that finished too?"
"The server room is already in the decoration stage, and the equipment assembly is expected to begin after the New Year. When our people went in, they found that they were working overtime to build the Seven Star Cinema. The scale and scale of it are probably unmatched by any other cinema in China."
Did you know Fang Yang would be coming to the topping-out ceremony?
Tan Zhaofeng wanted to find an opportunity to get to know Fang Yang. After all, the two companies were in the same place, and it would be best if they could get along harmoniously. It wasn't that he would join if he couldn't beat them, but if he could make use of some of Yuewen Entertainment Media's resources, it would be of great benefit to Nandu Film and Television.
"He should come. Currently, Zhou Kai, the head of the logistics department, is in charge of the work in Xihu City. However, the completion and topping-out of the Yuewen Entertainment Media headquarters is a major event. I'm afraid government leaders will come to celebrate. Relying solely on Zhou Kai might not be enough, so Fang Yang will definitely come to take charge of the work."
Tan Zhaofeng nodded. "What you said makes a lot of sense. Do you know when they'll finish building the roof? Get me an invitation then."
"It seems like it was around the 6th of this month when they called us to say they were going to send an invitation. It should arrive in the next couple of days."
Su Guang remembered clearly that Yuewen Entertainment Media did indeed call today, reminding him to check his phone.
"Alright, when the invitation arrives, bring it to me and I'll go see what their headquarters looks like!"
