It's said that fish only have a seven-second memory, and netizens' memories probably don't last more than three days either. The world changes too fast; new things happen every day, and different hot topics come to an end every day.
After its period of rapid growth, Yuewen Entertainment's website gradually calmed down. Apart from updating "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" every day, Fang Yang focused all his energy on the script of "Loser Men and Women". Yang Huajin had reached an agreement with Fu Ming, and Fu Ming would sign with Yuewen Entertainment in three days. Fang Yang would also start the casting process for the lead actors of "Loser Men and Women".
"Loser Men and Women" is a Mandarin comedy launched in October 2012. It attracted widespread attention from the industry and audiences as soon as it was released, creating a "viral web series". "Loser Men and Women" is a collection of jokes with distinct web characteristics, a strong stage presence, no overall plot connection, and fixed actors playing non-fixed roles.
Therefore, the actors in "Loser Men and Women" were required to have strong comedic characteristics, and there were no requirements regarding the actors' fame. Otherwise, the filming cost of the first season was only 600,000 yuan. Even with the current prices and Fang Yang's strict requirements, two or three million yuan would have been enough. Fang Yang decided to give the netizens of this world a spiritual baptism.
A knock sounded at the door. Fang Yang looked up and saw Yang Huajin leading two extremely beautiful women in. One was in her thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an office lady uniform that perfectly accentuated her figure. The other was a younger woman, about the same age as Fang Yang, with a round face and fair skin. She wore a green floral dress that made her look youthful and vibrant. Both women were around 165cm tall, and their presence was striking.
Yang Huajin introduced, "Xiao Yang, this is Guan Yue, the head of the public relations department of Jinghua Film and Television, and Zhou Xin. They said they have something to discuss with you."
Fang Yang quickly stood up to greet the two women and led them to sit down at the coffee table. After Yang Huajin poured each of them a cup of coffee, he said, "Minister Guan, Ms. Zhou, you've come all this way. Is there something good we can discuss?"
Guan Yue smiled and said, "President Fang, President Yang, we are here today mainly to discuss some cooperation matters between Jinghua Film and Television and Yuewen Entertainment website."
Fang Yang was a little surprised: "Minister Guan, would you like to hear more details?"
Guan Yue: "We at Jinghua Film & Television are extremely optimistic about the future of Yuewen Entertainment Website and want to carry out in-depth cooperation with Yuewen Entertainment Media. Jinghua Film & Television's film and television resources and music resources will be opened to Yuewen Entertainment Website to enrich Yuewen Entertainment Website's resource library."
Fang Yang nodded: "This is good news. It's a timely help for Yuewen Entertainment. We also want to thank Jinghua Film and Television for their support of Yuewen Entertainment."
Guan Yue: "In return, Jinghua Film and Television also has a request?"
Fang Yang: "Minister Guan, what do you say?"
Guan Yue: "Our Jinghua Film and Television hopes to obtain some custom songs from Mr. Fang at a specific time in the future. Of course, we will pay the market price. Our General Manager Zhou greatly admires Mr. Fang's talent and will definitely not customize songs at a price lower than the market price."
Fang Yang nodded, "The general direction is acceptable, but we need to discuss the specifics with our General Manager Yang. He can fully represent my opinion."
Before he could finish speaking, a series of giggles rang out. Fang Yang looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhou Xin laughing uncontrollably at his computer.
Fang Yang smiled and said to Guan Yue, whose face was a little dark, "It's nothing. I'm currently writing a web series, which is scheduled to be filmed in a while. The plot is a bit funny, so it's only natural for Miss Zhou to laugh."
Guan Yue's eyes lit up. "President Fang can also write scripts? I'll have to take a look."
Walking to the computer desk in his high heels, Fang Yang started reading the script with Zhou Xin. Soon, the two women began to giggle. Fang Yang smiled to himself. Sure enough, from eighty-year-olds to infants, no one could resist the charm of "Loser Men and Women"!
Guan Yue glanced at it and then came over to Fang Yang and said, "President Fang is indeed a young talent. Even the script he writes is so good. I think this drama will definitely be outstanding. Could we, Jinghua Film and Television, also invest a little?"
Fang Yang waved his hand and said, "This is just a web series, with a total investment of only two or three million. The main reason is that our Yuewen Entertainment website has too few resources. The main purpose of making this series is to increase popularity. We don't have any big plans. If we want to invest in serious dramas in the future, we will definitely look for Jinghua Film and Television. We hope that Jinghua Film and Television will not look down on us then."
Guan Yue said regretfully, "Oh, that's really a pity. I had high hopes for this drama. I wonder if Mr. Fang has finalized the cast for this drama yet?"
Fang Yang laughed and said, "Because this drama is positioned as a web series, we plan to look for newcomers as actors. We will go to schools to see if there are any suitable people, or select from the extras."
Guan Yue: "President Fang, we at Jinghua Film and Television have a group of newcomers who haven't debuted yet. Could you arrange for them to audition?"
Fang Yang laughed and said, "That's not a problem. As long as it meets the needs of the script, we can sign it."
At this moment, Zhou Xin, who had finished reading the script, walked over and asked, "Can I also play a role in it?"
Fang Yang looked at Zhou Xin and laughed, "You can act too?"
Zhou Xin frowned. "Don't underestimate me. I also graduated from the Kyoto Film Academy, and my grades were excellent."
Fang Yang chuckled, "Excuse me, I didn't know you were such a high achiever in this field. Then there's no problem. As long as Jinghua Film and Television releases you, you can come over if you pass the audition."
Zhou Xin pouted, "A beautiful girl like me, do I really need to audition?"
Fang Yang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "An audition is definitely necessary. To be responsible for the production, every actor here has to audition to see if they are suitable for the storyline."
