Taking a one-hour break at noon, although it couldn't wash away the fatigue of the past six months, at least his appearance was a bit better. The physical exhaustion caused by long hours of high-pressure work couldn't be recovered in a short time. Fortunately, Fang Yang didn't have too much to do during this period. At most, he picked up the novel he had fallen behind on while filming and used it as a work in his spare time.
Fang Yang plans to change the subject matter for his new book. Even the most loyal readers will get tired of fighting and killing all the time. Of course, the premise is that it can relieve stress. There is too much suffering in the world, and there is no need to add more tragic themes. Life needs joy, and joy makes people progress.
Novels need to be written, but it's even better to adapt them, whether for the big screen or the small screen. As a novel, its ultimate goal is to gain more exposure, and adapting it for the screen is the best way to achieve this. Relatively speaking, Fang Yang's impression of "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan" is the most profound.
Countless nights, neighbors were engrossed in the TV series, laughing uncontrollably. Countless times, at work, colleagues would discuss the plot with great reluctance, even arguing endlessly. No one would disagree that it was a blockbuster back then!
After thinking it over, Fang Yang didn't rush to start work. Things were different now. He had just returned from a six-month trip away, and the workload was naturally quite heavy. Even just having leaders from various departments come to report on their work would take some time, so he naturally didn't have time to spare to write the book during the day.
Just as he finished brewing a pot of hot tea, Yang Huajin, accompanied by Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming, knocked on the door and greeted them, "President Fang, it's been a long time!"
Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming smiled as they looked at Fang Yang with deep emotion.
"Oh, it's Director Huang and Mr. Zhuge. It's been a long time indeed. How have you been lately?"
"We also want to thank Mr. Fang for taking us in. Now we are also a member of Yuewen Entertainment Media."
Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming sighed inwardly. The Fang Yang they knew back then was nothing like the Fang Yang of today. Back then, they thought that if Fang Yang was just a figurehead, they would sideline him. But now, in such a short time, they were working under him. Times have changed so much. The world changes too fast. Before they could even react, their status had already changed.
"Are you settling in well at the company? Please feel free to ask any questions; the company will do its best to help you."
Fang Yang still showed the utmost respect to Huang Xiaoping and Huang Xiaoping. When he first debuted, without their strong support, Fang Yang would not have had such a smooth career. Especially when the entire industry was pessimistic, this friendship was even more precious.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang. We are having a great time here. The company atmosphere is also great. Of all the companies I've worked with, to be honest, Yuewen Entertainment Media has the best atmosphere!"
Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming smiled, clearly extremely satisfied. Having been in this industry for decades, they had encountered all sorts of situations, but the atmosphere at Yuewen Entertainment Media was undoubtedly the best. This made them very happy. Stepping out of the comfort zone of Shanghai TV station, who said they would be in a sorry state? At least Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming did not agree.
"You're here for the variety show, right? How's the location selection going?"
Before setting off, Fang Yang had planned the variety show. Once Huang Xiaoping arrived at the company, the pre-production work could begin, and the live broadcast could start on September 1st. The reason for setting the time was mainly to promote the company's TV series and movies. Of course, making money from live variety shows was also an unavoidable factor.
"It was chosen long ago. Since we are located in Jiangnan, it was only natural to choose Jiangnan as the location for the first season. Moreover, Jiangnan has beautiful mountains and rivers, which is a unique advantage for our variety show to become an instant hit."
Fang Yang nodded with a smile, "You two can discuss this. Let's reserve the first episode's guest for the creative team of our film 'Operation Red Sea'. The harsh filming environment this time is quite interesting, and Zhang Ze has a lot of influence. He's very sincere as the first episode's guest."
Huang Xiaoping laughed and said, "Of course, that's no problem. Actually, the biggest draw is you, Mr. Fang. If you were to be a guest, the whole show would definitely be elevated to a higher level."
Fang Yang thought for a moment, "We'll see how things go. If there's no conflict, then I'll be a mystery guest for this episode to add a bit of surprise to the live stream."
Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming exchanged a smile. It was a done deal. They believed that Fang Yang's first appearance on a variety show would create a huge buzz online, and with the special nature of the movie "Operation Red Sea," they were confident that this opening success would be a resounding success!
"Mr. Fang, could you write a theme song for a variety show? If you sing it on the show, the effect will be amazing."
Fang Yang glanced at Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming. "Singing is fine, but whether you can sing it on a variety show depends on fate. If you can't sing it on a variety show, you can put it as the end credits song. Maybe it will bring unexpected results. Now that the venue is settled, we must keep up with the promotion."
Huang Xiaoping smiled and said, "The promotion for the first episode has already been launched. As the first variety show of our Yuewen Entertainment Media, our promotion will be launched in batches. The advertising will reach its peak as the variety show approaches its start time. As the first outdoor variety show in China to take the plunge, I believe it will cause a great sensation!"
Fang Yang laughed and said, "With Director Huang's directing skills, I believe you are the only one with this ability. How are the advertisers' choices? Advertisers love variety shows like this."
"Haha, that's for sure. The bottled water and beverages have been confirmed, but the title sponsor hasn't been decided yet. There are still more than 20 days before the variety show starts, so we're not in a hurry. Besides, the current offers don't meet our standards. I'm sure we'll be able to catch a big fish when the time comes."
"And who's the regular guest?"
Fang Yang is quite concerned about this. For a variety show to remain popular for a long time, the ability to manage the regular guests is key!
“We have one right here in our company. Mr. Fang, do you remember Chen He, the comedian who came to our company last year? His cooking skills are said to have been passed down from a five-star hotel chef, and he is very popular with the audience, both in terms of his image and his live performance.”
Fang Yang thought for a moment and remembered Chen He. He was in his forties and had a certain reputation in the comedy world. His movies were very popular, and they weren't the kind of awkward laughs. He was a funny guy who could make people laugh until their stomachs hurt with just one action!
"That works. We need at least four regular guests. Who are the other three?"
"As per your request, the other one is Chen He's long-time partner, Huang Guang. The two have been working together for over ten years and have developed a tacit understanding where they can tell what the other is going to do with just a glance. I believe this will definitely add a lot of color to the variety show."
"As for the two younger ones, how about Xu Peng and Mu Yu? One is an actor and the other is a singer. Moreover, Xu Peng is a martial arts practitioner and has a lot of strength, making him the perfect candidate for doing hard and tiring work."
