Ouyang Ming finally understood how this 500 billion yuan project came about. "Three thousand acres of land? Does your company have that much money right now? Buying the land alone would cost at least 2 billion yuan!"
Fang Yang laughed and said, "Yes, we have more than 2 billion in cash on hand. However, we are currently discussing the purchase of cinema chains. If we buy the cinema chains, it may not be enough. We will have to wait until the funds for the album release are in place before we can talk about it again!"
Ouyang Ming thought about it and realized it made sense. Today was only the first day of the album's pre-sale. With ten million pre-sales, the album sales alone could generate a billion in revenue. The costs were almost negligible. The biggest expense was taxes, which were calculated proportionally and were actually not much, just a few percent. So, in a way, it's very profitable for singers to release albums, provided, of course, that your album sells well!
Sigh, the capitalists' exorbitant profits! They don't treat money like money, it comes too fast!
"I haven't taken office yet, let's finalize it for you after the New Year. I'm both afraid and excited about such a big investment!" Ouyang Ming shook his head, really not knowing what to say.
After the meal, the three parted ways. Fang Yang went home to write. He had almost finished writing "Princess Pearl" and was making the most of the next few days to finish it. He also had to go out and shoot a music video. After the Lunar New Year, he could focus on writing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Fang Yang felt that the company still had too few employees. He needed to discuss with Yang Huajin after the New Year that the company needed to recruit a group of editors to share the screenwriting work of his books. This way, he wouldn't have to write books, adapt TV series, and go out to film TV series all at the same time. Even a donkey in a production team wouldn't be used like that!
The filming crew also needs to be expanded. Currently, we only have one full crew, Fu Ming's. We need to expand to at least four crews to meet the company's needs. At the moment, we're only filming two or three TV series a year. When will Yuewen Entertainment Media website have a substantial content library? Talking about international film and television websites is a joke; without content, they can't even survive in China.
It took three days to record all ten songs for an album. Zheng Xiuli came to record a song in a hurry and left in a hurry. With the end of the year approaching, Zheng Xiuli's schedule is packed. This girl is really hardworking. No matter how hard or tiring it is, she can wake up full of energy after a good night's sleep.
Fang Yang wanted to reduce Zheng Xiuli's appearances, but Zheng Xiuli refused, saying that if she didn't give it her all when she was young, would she regret it when she was old and couldn't move anymore?
Unable to persuade her otherwise, Fang Yang could only instruct his agent, Sister Lan, to ensure Zheng Xiuli's three meals a day were as nutritious as possible, and also, absolutely not, to stay up late! He even sent two bodyguards to accompany her, as a young woman's safety is paramount when she's out in public, and Fang Yang didn't want his hard-earned cash cow to be destroyed overnight.
Zhou Xin's arrival gave Fang Yang a rare half-day of rest from his busy life. Fang Yang was also exhausted from the recent work. The two of them didn't go anywhere and just rested and chatted at home for half a day.
Zhou Xin was quite satisfied with this. Isn't the most enduring declaration of love simply being there for someone?
Zhou Xin had no objection to Fang Yang's old-fashioned, homebody lifestyle. As for a young, rich, handsome, and domineering CEO like Fang Yang, it was much safer for him to stay at home and admire himself. What if he accidentally got stalked by some seductive vixen when he went out?
Having already filmed a TV series, shooting a music video was a piece of cake for Fang Yang. He simply picked up a few new actors from the company, and the group embarked on a journey south to shoot the music video. In fact, shooting a music video is just like shooting a landscape film. According to the lyrics, it's about showing the beauty of the world in a scenic place, and that's about it.
It sounds simple, but it's not so easy in practice. The main problem is that these young actors have only recently graduated from film school and are still quite immature, lacking in acting skills. This requires Fang Yang to patiently guide them step by step. It's common for them to have to do 10 or 20 takes a day.
Fang Yang was quite patient. This was a necessary process for actors to grow. Training actors for the company was also a last resort for Fang Yang. These young actors received instruction from teachers at the company every day. Without practical experience, how could they grow?
In Shanghai, Xihu City, and Xiamen, with two cameras and ten drones, Fang Yang and his entourage caused a sensation wherever they went. Fang Yang was well-known, but he rarely had the opportunity to appear in public. He had only appeared on stage once, during the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on Shanghai TV. Since it was only once, very few people could remember his face, especially since several months had passed.
Zhou Xin is different. Although she hasn't released any works yet, the MV for "Can't Find Someone to Grow Old With" has been gaining popularity in recent days, and her image has become deeply ingrained in people's hearts. Her fan base has already exceeded two million, and the beautiful and charming Zhou Xin is extremely popular among male fans.
The presence of ten drones was quite a spectacle. Some of the onlookers, who were initially just there for the fun, recognized Zhou Xin. In an instant, people swarmed around her wanting autographs and photos, making it impossible for her to move. Fortunately, Fang Yang was prepared, and the bodyguards he brought quickly moved out to separate Zhou Xin from the crowd, preventing her from being harassed.
After obtaining Fang Yang's consent, Zhou Xin agreed to sign autographs and take photos, but only after the photoshoot was completed. The subsequent photoshoot proceeded in an orderly manner under the protection of bodyguards. Some onlookers raised their phones to record the scene and posted it on their WeChat Moments, Bole, Douyin and other social media platforms, attracting a large amount of traffic and causing a lot of amusement.
Driven by Fang Yang's intentional and unintentional actions, the incident stirred up a storm among netizens across the country. Everyone learned that Fang Yang was filming an album music video, and the female lead in the music video was none other than the female lead in "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". The pre-sales of Fang Yang's first album once again set off a sales frenzy, reaching another level in just a few days, and approaching the 60 million mark.
As everyone knows, digital albums don't come with music videos. You can pre-order an album now, and if you like the songs when they're released, you can place an order to pay the remaining balance and wait for the album to arrive. If you don't like them, the ten-dollar pre-order fee is nothing; it's not even enough for a pack of cigarettes.
After a round of filming, Fang Yang was exhausted. The fans were so enthusiastic that many people went out of their way to watch and take photos with Fang Yang and Zhou Xin, which slowed down the filming process. If it weren't for the bodyguards, many scenes would not have been able to be filmed.
Back at the company, Fang Yang collapsed on the sofa. He was exhausted, even more so than when filming. There was too much external interference. He spent all day outwitting fans who came from all directions. Sometimes his face would stiffen from smiling, and his hand would go limp from signing autographs.
In just half a month, we visited three cities and filmed a ton of material. The post-production editing department is currently extremely busy. The second season of Fu Ming's "Loser Men and Women" has also been filmed and is now piling up in the post-production department waiting for editing.
Looking at the disc in his hand, Fang Yang decided to edit it himself. Time was tight and the task was heavy, so he didn't bother the post-production department. There was just too much of a staff shortage. Well, this department would have to recruit new members after the New Year!
