Zhao Liang and Zhong Zhifeng took over all the work, so Fang Yang was naturally happy to have some free time. He figured he might as well use this time to finish writing the script for "Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth".

The impatient Fu Ming would come to Fang Yang's office every day to wander around. Seeing that Fang Yang was writing a script, he would be satisfied and would pour tea and refill water for Fang Yang from time to time, acting like a complete lackey.

Fang Yang couldn't help but chuckle. "Director Fu, is there really such a rush? Looking at you like this, who would still believe you're that renowned director?"

"Hey, Mr. Fang, to outsiders I'm a big director, but to you I'm just a small employee, an arrow carrying out your extraordinary will, piercing through all the stumbling blocks that block your progress!"

Fang Yang quickly stopped Fu Ming from continuing, saying, "No, no, Director Fu, let's talk about the lead actors for your drama. I suggest you contact Mo Zhen and see if that fat guy has been signed yet?"

"The fat man? Mr. Fang, are you talking about Zheng Feisi?"

"That's right, fat people are often funny. If you sign Zheng Feisi as the lead actress, your movie will be halfway to success!"

"Zheng Feisi is indeed quite funny. Did Mo Zhen go to sign him?"

"It's not just him, there are several others who are ready to sign. Take the emperor in my TV series, for example, he's the best actor to play emperors!"

"A specialist in playing emperors? Tie Weimin? He actually managed to sign him?"

"So your information is outdated, isn't it? Tie Weimin has already been kicked out of their company."

Fu Ming was stunned for a long time before sighing, "I never thought that a veteran actor like Tie Weimin would be fired. Actually, Tie Weimin's salary isn't high. What's the big deal about keeping someone like him? We might need him tomorrow! Besides, Tie Weimin is known for mentoring younger generations. Keeping someone like him is like keeping a free teacher!"

Mo Zhen didn't mention this, but judging from Fu Ming's sigh, signing Tie Weimin was indeed a brilliant move.

Zhao Liang and Zhong Zhifeng acted quickly. After deciding on a group of over a hundred people, they sent out invitations one after another. They also called the guests to arrange times and purchase plane tickets.

Tasks were quickly assigned, and the entire planning department operated like a sophisticated machine at high speed. Everyone had their own responsibilities: contacting guests, booking flights, booking hotels, and handling receptions. Zhao Liang and Zhong Zhifeng were stationed at headquarters to coordinate the overall operations.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already midnight on the 7th. Fang Yang, Zhao Liang, Yang Huajin, Zhong Zhifeng and others were waiting at the Yuewen Cinema in Shanghai. The preview screening was scheduled for 12:15, and there were still fifteen minutes before the screening started.

Yuewen Cinema is as bustling as ever. Under Zhao Liang's sweeping upgrades, Yuewen Cinema has become a money-making machine in the domestic film industry. Whether it's day or night, the lounge is always packed with people.

Some people don't come to watch movies, but rather for the atmosphere. Yuewen Cinema is now the top choice for young people to gather anywhere. Countless young men and women come here every day to eat, play games, buy figurines they like, or support the audience when there are good movies.

To avoid being recognized, Fang Yang and his entourage went straight to the VIP theater upon arrival, leaving only some staff members at the door to wait and greet the guests who arrived with tickets.

The first few people to arrive were all locals from Shanghai, a dozen or so scattered. They were led to the back by staff. Yang stepped forward and expressed his regret, "I'm sorry everyone, because there were too many people in front, in order to avoid attracting attention, we can only receive them here. We hope you can forgive any shortcomings."

The leader in Shanghai is the famous film critic Zhang Minghao, known in the industry as the "Iron-Faced Judge" for his uncompromising reviews of films. Countless movies have fallen victim to his criticisms, which has earned him the deep affection of film fans. His Bole account has over 18 million followers, comparable to that of second-tier celebrities.

"Mr. Fang, please don't say that. Your Yuewen Cinema has really come up with something special. I've been to so many cinemas, and to be honest, Yuewen Cinema is the only one that has truly impressed me, especially the lobby. It's rare to see so many people in a cinema these days!"

"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. All the audience members are our bread and butter. Providing them with a comfortable and pleasant environment is what we should do."

"But Mr. Fang, I must make this clear from the start: I will only speak the truth about the quality of the film, and I will not betray my conscience because of your behind-the-scenes tricks," Zhang Minghao said, his tone suddenly shifting, clearly revealing his true intentions.

"Of course. The reason I held an early screening was to get you to write down your honest viewing experience. As long as it's not intentional slander, then I've achieved my goal."

"Good, Mr. Fang is indeed highly skilled and daring. I like dealing with people like you."

Zhang Minghao led the group of guests into the venue, where they found seats and waited for the movie to start.

As time went on, guests arrived one after another, and Fang Yang led the group to greet them one by one. Regardless of what the guests thought in their hearts, politeness on the surface was still necessary.

At 12:15 PM, the VIP theater was already packed. Fang Yang and Zhao Liang stepped onto the stage. "Distinguished guests, the purpose of this preview screening of 'Shaolin Temple' today is to give everyone an objective perspective on our film. As the saying goes, 'No experience, no right to speak.' To help you gain a more objective understanding of our film, we've organized this preview screening. Now, I'll first introduce some information about the film to give you a comprehensive overview..."

Fang Yang introduced the plot of "Shaolin Temple" to everyone, so that the film critics would have a clear understanding and be able to find the details from the beginning, avoiding them from blindly rushing in like headless flies and only seeing the fight scenes while forgetting the plot.

Fang Yang's intention in doing this was naturally driven by personal motives. Nowadays, so-called imported blockbusters rely on a little bit of plot, and the whole movie is just one action fight after another. In the end, it's just a lonely experience. You don't remember anything, only the action fights remain in your mind. In the end, you exclaim that the action scenes are really moving and invite your friends to go and support it!

Indeed, Fang Yang wanted to break through by creating a compelling action movie that resonated with audiences, thus carving out a path to success during this peak summer movie season.

After a brief introduction, Fang Yang stepped down from the stage and sat in the front row. Although he was uncomfortable, there was nothing he could do, as the back rows were already full of guests who had come to support him, and there were no empty seats at all.
