My Website Is About to Go Bankrupt

Chapter 189, /.

"Today's topping-out ceremony of the Yuewen Entertainment Media office building is a major event for Yuewen Entertainment Media and for our Xihu City. Moving into the new office building as soon as possible is something all employees of Yuewen Entertainment Media have been looking forward to. We also look forward to seeing what such a high-quality company can bring to the citizens of Xihu City. Without further ado, let us warmly congratulate the Yuewen Entertainment Media office building topping-out ceremony on its successful completion, and wish Yuewen Entertainment Media an even brighter future!"

Prompted by Bai Zhenjun, Fang Yang quickly went on stage and took the microphone from Ouyang Ming. "First of all, I would like to thank the Jiangnan Provincial Government and the Xihu Municipal Government for their care and support for Yuewen Entertainment Media. Yuewen Entertainment Media is a new company. It is still very immature and needs the care and support of two governments. In turn, the growth and development of Yuewen Entertainment Media will give back to the Jiangnan Provincial Government and the Xihu Municipal Government. The two are mutually reinforcing."

"From the moment the office building is topped out, Yuewen Entertainment Media begins a new chapter. I would like to thank the Jiangnan Provincial Government and the Xihu Municipal Government for their care. Now I announce that the topping-out ceremony of the Yuewen Entertainment Media office building is now officially starting. Please welcome Governor Bai and Secretary Ouyang to the stage for the ribbon-cutting."

Those who had already received instructions immediately fired cannons, the deafening salutes soaring into the sky. The eager members of the Black Panther Band, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately began playing celebratory music. Fireworks floated into the air, and Bai Jianjun and Ouyang Ming walked towards the podium with smiles on their faces. The hostesses, dressed in festive red cheongsams, also filed towards the podium carrying scissors and embroidered balls. At the host's prompting, the three cut the embroidered ball, and the first phase of the topping-out ceremony came to a perfect end.

Afterwards, Bai Zhenjun and Ouyang Ming, accompanied by Fang Yang and others, hurriedly left by car. Apart from the staff accompanying them, the other government officials stayed behind to continue the remaining procedures. They couldn't just praise Yuewen Entertainment Media and then leave in the blink of an eye; that would be too disrespectful to Yuewen Entertainment Media. Besides, this person was a favorite of Vice Governor Bai and Secretary Ouyang, and they were too busy currying favor with him.

Afterwards, led by Chen Yunfeng, the group visited various construction sites. They were amazed by Yuewen Entertainment Media's large-scale projects and impressed by the construction team's efficient construction speed. After having a lively lunch at Jiangnan Private Kitchen, they went their separate ways.

Fang Yang, Yang Huajin, and Zhou Kai stood at the door to see the guests off one by one. It wasn't until almost all the guests had left that Tan Zhaofeng, who had deliberately stayed until the very end, grabbed them and said, "Mr. Fang, we drank a bit too much at lunch. How about we find a place to have some tea?"

Fang Yang had never heard of Tan Zhaofeng before, but Tan Zhaofeng had come over to greet him when welcoming guests today, so he had some impression of him. After all, Tan Zhaofeng was the only film company representative present, and a local bigwig in the film industry in Xihu City. With the idea that having more friends meant having more opportunities, the two exchanged contact information and got to know each other for the first time.

Fang Yang was a little tipsy. If it weren't for Yang Huajin, Zhou Kai, and Chen Chen strongly blocking him from drinking at noon, Fang Yang would probably have passed out on the table, which would have made him look very foolish.

"Mr. Tan, I have a can of fine tea in my office. Why don't you come over and have a taste?"

Having drunk a bit too much, Fang Yang really didn't want to go out for tea, but he couldn't openly refuse Tan Zhaofeng's invitation, so he might as well invite him back to the office, since it wasn't far from the command post anyway.

"Mr. Fang has fine tea, and I have a story to tell. Naturally, I would like to visit him and ask for his help. It would be my great honor to have a cup of tea with the renowned Mr. Fang."

Fang Yang chuckled awkwardly, feeling smug from Tan Zhaofeng's flattery. "Mr. Tan, now that you mention it, I feel ashamed. I should have visited you sooner, but I've been too busy to find the time. Luckily, I'm in Xihu City these few days. I'll arrange a private gathering to treat you to a drink sometime. I'll be making a living in Xihu City from now on, so I'll try to stay in touch. Your company has been established in Xihu City for many years and is a well-known company in the industry. Would you be interested in allocating some of your film and television resources to our website?"

After greeting Yang Huajin, Fang Yang invited Tan Zhaofeng to ride back to the command post in the same car, and also expressed his interest in cooperation.

"To be honest, Mr. Fang, we have long had the intention to cooperate, but we just haven't found the opportunity. We have always envied the traffic of Yuewen Entertainment Media's website. This is a good thing that we have been longing for but have not been able to obtain."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "Our Yuewen Entertainment Media website has always been committed to expanding more film and television resources. Being able to cooperate with such an excellent company as Nandu Film and Television is the kind of community of interests we have been looking for. President Tan, do you have any suggestions for our website?"

"Mr. Fang, I've been following Yuewen Entertainment Media website. Compared to other film and television websites, I'm more interested in yours, whether it's the picture quality, the network stability, or, most importantly, the fewer ads, resulting in a better viewing experience."

"Mr. Tan, you have a very keen eye. Regarding advertising, we firmly believe that advertising is for a better viewing experience. It is definitely not possible to have no advertising at all. For example, the high subscription fees will deter many viewers. With advertising, we can gradually reduce subscription fees. However, advertising cannot affect the viewer's viewing experience. It can only be inserted appropriately after each episode, so that it will not have much impact on the viewer's viewing experience."

Tan Zhaofeng praised, "That's right. What I hate most is the forced insertion of advertisements into a drama. So I am very distressed that our company's film and television works are fragmented by advertisements on other film and television websites. I have raised this issue before, but the film and television websites pointed out that they pay high prices for film and television works. Without these advertisements, the film and television websites would suffer huge losses and would not be able to afford the high purchase price. It would be a lose-lose situation for both the website and the company."

Fang Yang chuckled. Compared to users paying to watch movies or TV series, the advertising fees were a drop in the ocean. Unless the production quality of the film or TV series was so poor that no one was willing to pay to watch it, that would be a different story. Ultimately, it all came down to quality. Classic works will never lack an audience.

"Mr. Tan, have you been following our company's new short video website? It focuses on interesting stories from the filming process. The reason our film 'Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth' achieved such outstanding results was largely due to the advertising effect of this website. Mr. Tan, why don't you give it a try?"

There are too few short video content on short video websites now. Since Tan Zhaofeng has brought it to Fang Yang's door, Fang Yang also wants to promote it. Maybe it can achieve good results. After all, Nandu Film and Television is full of popular celebrities, which is very effective at attracting attention.
