As soon as they stepped out of the gate of Dadi Real Estate Company, Yang Huajin said anxiously, "Xiao Yang, aren't you afraid of leaving a bad impression on them by talking back to them like that?"
As Fang Yang walked, he said, "Respect is mutual. In this match, they didn't respect us at all. Didn't you see it? Just look at their seats. They didn't take us seriously at all. They looked down on us as if it were a gift. We are the acquiring party, and the acquiring party has a natural advantage. But look at them, do they even have that kind of thinking?"
Yang Huajin said helplessly, "But you don't need to go against them!"
“This isn’t about confronting them head-on; it’s a strategy to break their stubbornness and prevent them from assuming that everyone has to beg them. I originally thought we could add a hundred or two hundred million, but now it seems completely unnecessary. At most, it’ll be 1.8 billion. We won’t do it for a single penny more.”
"Alright, Xiaoyang, since you've made your decision, we naturally support it."
"Uncle Yang, go and contact other small and medium-sized cinemas later. Don't make it public, but let Dadi Cinema know that we intend to shift our focus."
Yang Huajin's eyes lit up. "Hmm, Xiaoyang, your idea is good. We should put some pressure on them and make them beg us. That will make it easier to negotiate. Besides, we have a second plan. There's no need to keep focusing on just this one family."
Liu Fang also expressed her support, saying, "This is good, it will ease our financial pressure and allow us to allocate funds for other things."
Back at the company, Fang Yang plunged into the recording studio. He wanted to record an album this time, but time was still tight, so he had to speed up the recording process.
The first thing to do when recording an album is to select several songs. This is the key point. Since it has been decided to include two songs from "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in the album, there are still eight songs missing. This is Fang Yang's first album, and the songs absolutely cannot be shoddy. What songs should he choose? Fang Yang fell into deep thought.
An album can't be all the same style, otherwise you'll get tired of it and even good songs will become bland. So, we need passionate and uplifting songs, and we also need inspirational songs. After the climax, we need a calming down, otherwise we might have a stroke. We need a transition. Sad songs are a must, because they're easy to evoke sympathy. Isn't it said that crying children get candy?
The pen kept tracing patterns on the paper, writing down what was in his heart: "Young and Promising," "Breakups Always Happen on Rainy Days," oh, it's still snowing outside the window now, "The First Snow of 2002." As for whether it's actually 2002 now, or if this year has any special meaning, that's not what Fang Yang needs to think about. Just because it rhymes, it sounds nice!
When the album was released, wasn't it during the Chinese New Year? The New Year's anthem "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was a must. Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh when he thought of "Gong Xi Fa Cai," which was sung all over the country. It's a favorite of merchants. Once it's Chinese New Year, it can beat any hit song. It's popular with people of all ages and genders and never goes out of style!
What other suitable songs are there? Fang Yang was caught in a dilemma. There were too many good songs, and it was so hard to choose. Sigh, "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" is alright. It's rock, and it's sure to sweep a lot of people off their feet. This one is a good option!
Seven songs already, hmm, not bad. Love theme, what songs are good? How about a sweet love song to help you catch your breath? "The Sunset is Drunk," Fang Yang thought of the God of Songs' enchanting dance moves and wanted to laugh. He's painted so many pictures of sunsets, isn't this song very fitting?
With both Mandarin and Cantonese versions, it caters to the tastes of people all over the country. How about a more subdued one? Hmm, Zheng Xiuli hasn't released a song in over two months. We can't let her popularity fade away. How about a duet, "Ming Ming Bai Bai Wo De Xin"? That should be more suitable... right?
One more song, just one more and everything will be perfect, huh? "Ji"? The one with two "Ji"s, doesn't he have a song called "Love, It's Simple"? A must-sing karaoke hit? Bingo! Fang Yang snapped his fingers. That's it! I'm a genius! Thinking of ten hit songs in an hour! Fang Yang chuckled, lost in his daydreams…
Fang Yang spent the entire afternoon immersed in selecting songs and composing music. He finally finished composing the music just before the end of the workday and sent the score to Zhu Laosan, thus completing his work for the day.
As I was packing my things to go home, Zhou Kai knocked on the door and came in. "Xiao Yang, as you said, today's website event, the million-dollar prize contest, is going very well. Today, the website signed nearly a thousand new books, and most of them came from other websites after hearing about it. Among them are some top authors. Xiao Yang, you really have a good idea. You solved the website's predicament with just one move!"
Fang Yang stopped tidying up and asked, "Any novels that stand out?"
"Yes, and the storyline is quite captivating. It attracted a large number of readers as soon as it was released. However, there isn't much content yet. If it doesn't falter later on, it will definitely stand out. The author isn't very famous either. After checking, we found that he was quite well-known on a small website, but he hasn't published any works on major websites. We don't know why."
Fang Yang considered for a moment, "Then you should focus on these people, and you can also have the editors follow up and ask what the reasons are. If they can sign with our website, you can appropriately raise the requirements."
Zhou Kai rubbed his hands together. "By the way, Xiao Yang, when will your novel be available online? I've already announced it on the company website, and the response has been overwhelming. Everyone's urging us to release it!"
Fang Yang thought for a moment, "Let's do it on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I really don't have time to prepare the album during this period."
Zhou Kai's eyes lit up. "What about the album? When can it be recorded? I've already announced it on the website. I'm just waiting for you to confirm the date. Are all the songs ready?"
Fang Yang glanced at Zhou Kai speechlessly. "I just finished writing it this afternoon. Uncle Zhou, why are you so excited? It's not even a done deal yet, and you've already announced it on the website. What if it doesn't get recorded? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?"
Zhou Kai chuckled and said, "I certainly wouldn't trust anyone else, but I trust you completely. Releasing this news now is like advertising in advance, raising everyone's desire. It's like what you said about hunger or something, yes, it's about scarcity consumption, Xiao Yang, am I right?"
Fang Yang rolled his eyes at Zhou Kai. "It's scarcity marketing, Uncle Zhou. You're quick to learn!"
Zhou Kai smiled and said, "Xiao Yang, as you know, I'm getting old and can't keep up with your way of thinking. I can only say that I need to learn more from you. I don't have much ability, but I can guarantee that I can apply what you think and I will definitely not let your backyard catch fire."
Fang Yang was also a little moved. "Uncle Zhou, I believe in you. Without you, I wouldn't have anything. We are all family. You will always be my strong support as I overcome all obstacles and move forward!"
