After receiving Su Mo's report, Wang Jialiang breathed a deep sigh of relief. As expected of Fang Yang's production, it was a masterpiece. The opening rating was 1.58, and the main episodes were 2.01, which means that the starting rating was 2.01, which crushed all domestic TV dramas. And this was just the beginning!
Wang Jialiang couldn't help but dance with joy at home. Since joining Yuewen Entertainment Media, he had made a stunning start, which filled him with ambition. He thought, "One day in the future, I, Wang, will definitely become a top director in China, go abroad, and make a name for myself on the world stage!"
Looking at Wang Jialiang, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but shake her head. Seeing the old man had been depressed for more than two years, he had finally regained his confidence. Perhaps he would no longer be so anxious about gains and losses when filming in the future?
Fang Yang also received the message from Zhang Xinyang immediately and couldn't help but smile. Classics are always classics, no matter when or where!
No matter how bustling it was outside, filming had to continue. The morning passed without incident, and Fang Yang was quite satisfied. He had resolved the big problem of Zhou Xin, and the other actors' scenes were not a big deal. Occasionally there would be some NGs, but a few more shots would be taken and it would be fine. It was just a bit wasteful of film, which was the price that young actors had to pay for taking on leading roles.
Fortunately, Fang Yang knew which shots were suitable and which were not, so overall, not much film was wasted.
When Fang Yang woke up from his afternoon nap, he saw the crew members huddled together in small groups, discussing something. He asked Mo Sang and Mo Zhen, but didn't know why. Just then, Tie Weimin walked over and Fang Yang grabbed him. "What are those people doing? Why are they being so secretive?"
Fang Yang pointed to the group of people whispering among themselves.
Tie Weimin exclaimed in surprise, "President Fang, you didn't know?"
Fang Yang asked, confused, "What is it that I need to know?"
Tie Weimin suddenly realized, "President Fang, you were sleeping just now, so you probably don't know, but just this noon, CCTV announced the ratings for all TV stations nationwide yesterday. Yesterday, Guangzhou TV's 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' had an opening rating of 1.58, an average rating of 2.98, and a peak rating of 3.47, setting a new record for the premiere ratings of a domestic TV series. Everyone is saying that Guangzhou TV has struck gold this time, and they're definitely going to make a killing!"
"Oh, this?" Fang Yang shook his head, thinking it was something serious, all so mysterious.
"Mr. Fang, how many episodes are there in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' again?"
"Sixty episodes? What's wrong with that?"
Tie Weimin waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just thinking that if there are sixty episodes, Yangcheng TV will have to air it for a total of thirty days. During those thirty days, viewers all over the country will be watching Yangcheng TV. It will be hard for Yangcheng TV not to become famous. If a few more dramas like this are broadcast, I'm afraid the top five TV stations will have to be re-ranked!"
"It's because the station director has good judgment. Not everyone has the courage to spend 300 million to buy a TV series. So there's no such thing as a free lunch. You have to put in the effort to reap the rewards."
Fang Yang curled his lip. The Shanghai TV station, which had the best cooperation with them at the beginning, was already outdated. Even Shandong TV only thought about taking advantage of others. Guangzhou TV was more open-minded and ultimately reaped a bountiful harvest.
"Since there's nothing else, let's begin the afternoon's filming."
Fang Yang clapped his hands and directed the crew to start setting up the props. "Don't you guys have any sense? Can't you see it's almost three o'clock? Do you still have to film this afternoon?"
As the afternoon was drawing to a close, the director, producer, and assistant director of Jinghua Film and Television, the crew closest to Fang Yang's production team, came to visit him. "President Fang, congratulations! The TV series has been a great success. I estimate that your TV series will break the viewership record in Chinese history."
Fang Yang saw that it was Tang Qiang and hurriedly went to greet him, "Director Tang, hello, hello, what brings you here?"
Tang Qiang reached out and grasped Fang Yang's outstretched hand, giving it a firm squeeze. "Our CEO Zhou often asks us to learn from CEO Fang in meetings. It just so happens that our film crew is right next door to CEO Fang's. CEO Fang, please don't hesitate to give us your guidance."
Fang Yang smiled and said, "You are all my seniors. If we're talking about learning, I'm the one who should be learning from you. It's a pleasure to have this gathering today, so I'll treat you all to a meal. How about that? I hope you won't refuse?"
Tang Qiang laughed and said, "It's rare for President Fang to treat us to a meal, so we certainly won't refuse. However, we'll still be the host this time. Since it's a learning opportunity, we should have a learning attitude!"
Fang Yang waved his hand, "Don't say anything more. This time it's my treat. It's rare for us to get together. Let's chat and make friends. We're all in this circle, so please give me some face."
Before Tang Qiang could object, Fang Yang had Mo Sang call Luo Cheng and book a larger private room so everyone could have a meal and get to know each other.
Seeing that Fang Yang insisted, Tang Qiang did not refuse anymore. It was just a simple meal, nothing special. Moreover, the two companies often cooperated. Tang Qiang also knew that the chairman's beloved daughter, Zhou Xin, was doing very well at Yuewen Entertainment Media and had reached the third tier in just six months!
"Mr. Fang, let me introduce you. This is our company's producer, Zhao Jian, and this is our assistant director, Zhang Qiang."
Tang Qiang pulled the two people behind him aside and introduced them to Fang Yang and the others.
Fang Yang greeted the two men with a smile, and at the same time introduced the people around him to the three people opposite him, "This is producer Mo Sang, this is assistant director Mo Zhen, this is Tie Weimin who specializes in playing emperors, and this is Zhou Xin. You should all know them."
After everyone got to know each other, the group headed towards Luo Cheng's restaurant. Hengdian World Studios wasn't huge, but it wasn't small either. It was the time to wrap up work, and people kept greeting them along the way, especially some male and female stars who seemed to want to keep their eyes glued to Fang Yang.
Last night, the ratings of Yangcheng TV spread throughout the afternoon, and almost everyone in Hengdian World Studios knew about it. Although it was filmed by Wang Jialiang, Wang Jialiang is also the director of Yuewen Entertainment Media Company, and Fang Yang is the boss of the company!
A few days ago, through a joke, everyone learned that Fang Yang was filming at Hengdian World Studios. As a result, many people wanted to create opportunities to bump into him. However, Fang Yang's schedule was not fixed, and most of the time when they met him, he was surrounded by a large entourage, so there was no chance to go up and talk to him.
Just like now, seven or eight people were walking out, chatting and laughing. They had no time to pay attention to their surroundings. Fang Yang simply nodded to those who came over to say hello, unless they were some big-name actors who stayed for a few words.
So a peculiar sight appeared on the way out of Hengdian World Studios: seven or eight people were walking out, and people they encountered along the way all moved aside, just like a big fish cutting through the water and moving forward.
This is actually normal. Most of the big-name actors leave in vans at this point, while those who walk are either minor actors or extras. When they encounter Fang Yang and his gang of big devils, they naturally feel fear to the core.
