After leaving Mo Zhen's group, Fang Yang turned around and went into Fu Ming's office. With Fang Yang supporting him, and the main actors already sent to the army for military training, Fu Ming was relatively free. He was currently studying the storyboard script by himself, trying to thoroughly understand its intricacies.

"Hey, Director Fu, busy?"

Fang Yang saw Fu Ming engrossed in studying the script and greeted him with a smile. Fang Yang really appreciated Fu Ming's pursuit of perfection.

"Mr. Fang, you're back?"

When Fu Ming looked up and saw Fang Yang, he smiled happily. Fang Yang could feel his heartfelt joy even from several meters away.

"You just got back a short while ago. How's it going? Have you thoroughly studied the script?"

Fang Yang knew that Fu Ming had a habit of thoroughly reading and memorizing the script. During the actual filming, he would strictly follow the storyboard for almost every shot, relying on his current patience and dedication.

"Not yet, Mr. Fang. Your script is so good that I'm completely engrossed. I feel like my blood is boiling. It's so exciting!"

"Don't worry, there's still time. I've already found a location for you. Have the producer contact their leaders. The location is free, and the military will provide a company to assist with filming. We'll have to cover the ammunition costs ourselves."

Fang Yang handed a letter of introduction to Fu Ming, "The location is not far from Shanghai. Hurry up and go to negotiate, then set up the scene and try to wrap up filming before the end of August."

Fu Ming took the letter of introduction, looked it over, and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Fang. I have a lot of confidence in this film and I will definitely wrap up filming before the end of August."

Fang Yang nodded, "Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll head back now."

As time marches on, preparations for various film crews proceed in an orderly manner. Various film and television companies have also heard about Yuewen Entertainment Media's big moves. The other crews are doing better, but Wang Jialiang, who is used to making headlines, cannot keep a low profile. Although he is only looking for some supporting roles, he still receives great attention from various film and television companies. One batch of recommended actors comes after another. Even playing a passerby without any dialogue makes some people happy.

The main reason is simply that the first installment of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had such high viewership ratings that "The Return of the Condor Heroes" had an even stronger fan base than "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Fang Yang didn't want to concern himself with Wang Jialiang's high-profile casting choices. Everyone has their own way of doing things. At least Wang Jialiang's production of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was extremely successful. Both the casting and the filming techniques were impeccable. The fact that Yuewen Entertainment Media's website still has a very high number of clicks is proof of his success.

Fang Yang had considered making Wang Jialiang the king of martial arts films. At Wang Jialiang's pace of making one film a year or three films every two years, even if he worked until he died, he still wouldn't be able to finish filming all the resources Fang Yang had. However, it wasn't really necessary to involve other directors. Everything is afraid of becoming too much, and too much can cause visual fatigue. The current progress was already very good, and Fang Yang intended to keep it under control.

What surprised Fang Yang the most was the arrival of those 3D cameras. Although these things weren't expensive, costing only a few hundred thousand yuan each, they couldn't be produced domestically yet. The main reason was that not many people in China had mastered this photography technology, and the demand for the machines was also low. This resulted in very few people paying attention to them in China, and there was nowhere to buy them, let alone produce them themselves.

Most importantly, this thing is very delicate. After considering it, Fang Yang asked Yang Huajin to add three more sets, making a total of five sets. He also added a few extra lenses as spares, in case one set was lost and there was nowhere to replace it.

After tinkering with it for two days, Fang Yang became thoroughly familiar with the 3D camera before handing it over to the cameraman brought by Tang Qiang. To complement this 3D production, Jinghua Film and Television also sent a veteran camera crew, including two who had previously worked on 3D film productions. While they weren't exactly experienced, they certainly had some experience.

Over the past year, with the increase in the number of giant screens in cinemas in China, many companies have tried to enter the field of 3D film production. This is mainly due to the influence of big-budget productions in the United States. With the same number of screenings, different ticket prices mean vastly different box office results. Moreover, with the improvement of audience tastes, it is extremely difficult for a film without a big production to achieve substantial box office success.

As a result, many film and television companies have sent their senior directors to the United States to learn 3D film production. Although the cost of the training is painful, the thought of making more money after returning makes the expense acceptable.

These two cameramen were trained by a director from Jinghua Film and Television Company and had even shot a 3D film. Although the box office results weren't very satisfactory, they still had experience. The only thing they lacked was experience, which could be corrected with the director's guidance, so it wasn't a big problem.

With Tang Qiang handling all the production matters, Fang Yang had time to continue perfecting the sequel to "Ghost Blows Out the Light." Fang Yang had already written the sixth book, "The Return of the South China Sea." Even if he were to copy it again, Fang Yang still greatly admired Tianxia Bachang's imagination. These scenes, filled with danger step by step, were so exquisite that even though Fang Yang was just copying the book, he could still feel the ingenuity of the writing. The breadth of the imagination was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

The website is currently publishing the third installment, "Yunnan Insect Valley," which marks the first official tomb raiding trip for the trio. This time, all three bring authentic tomb raiding talismans. After Iron Grinding Head's death, Flying Sky Claw took his ashes and the talisman to become a monk. Later, when Partridge Whistle became his apprentice, Liao Chen gave him his own talisman while keeping Iron Grinding Head's. After several twists and turns, before the Insect Valley operation, Staff Officer Yang, Partridge Whistle's granddaughter, gave Iron Grinding Head's talisman to Hu Bayi. Fatty, on the other hand, carried the talisman that Golden Abacus used to possess. The three were fortunate enough to successfully break into the Yunnan Insect Valley's Xianwang Tomb and obtain the Muchen Pearl.

The online bookstore has seen a surge in traffic recently due to the popularity of "Ghost Blows Out the Light," with daily traffic now exceeding 30 million, ranking first among all online bookstores. In addition to the popularity of Fang Yang's best-selling novels, the latest million-dollar prize competition has also attracted many top authors, which is a major factor.

Although not all top authors are registered on the Yuewen Entertainment Media website, it doesn't prevent them from participating in the competition because of the huge prize money. The website's massive traffic is also part of the reason why these top authors participate in the competition. After all, traffic means people reading books, and only when enough people read books can top authors earn more revenue, whether it's reader rewards or traffic sharing. These are all based on having enough readers to have a chance to earn.

Therefore, the strong get stronger on reading websites. Traffic attracts top authors, and the participation of top authors can in turn influence more readers to join. The two complement each other, thus driving the website to grow stronger.

Fang Yang was willing to spend a lot of money to hold this event precisely because of this point. Secondly, there was the IP factor. If a big IP was found in it, the results of its transformation would be enough for Yuewen Entertainment Media to live on for many years. It could also promote the construction of the film and television city. It can be described as killing three birds with one stone!
