Early in the morning, Fang Yang arrived at the special effects department, which is the Yuewen Special Effects branch. As soon as Xie Bin saw Fang Yang, he came over to greet him, "President Fang, you're here. Wu Wei from the editing department just sent someone to deliver the first three episodes of 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.' We're about to render them. Would you like to come and take a look?"
"You guys go ahead with your work. Just do what I told you before. Once you've finished the first episode, show it to me. And once the first three episodes are done, send me copies. I'll need them." When Fang Yang acquired the special effects division, he had discussed the special effects for "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" with Xie Bin. With the communication they'd had over this period, Fang Yang didn't think there would be any difficulties Xie Bin could overcome.
"Alright, Mr. Fang, please come to my office for tea. The special effects for the first episode aren't too many, so we can finish them in one morning. The first three episodes might take until tomorrow to finish. I'll send them to you after they're done tomorrow." Xie Bin had been working on the special effects for "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" for several months, and he already had a clear idea of how to do it. He didn't think that Fang Yang's presence and direction made any difference.
"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news!" Fang Yang followed Xie Bin to the office. The main reason he came so early was to see if the completed series was better than the one he filmed in his previous life. Fang Yang was inexplicably proud of his filming skills.
Around 11 a.m., Xie Bin finally finished the first episode after rushing around. With the songs and backing tracks pre-recorded by Fang Yang, all that's left is to add the list of sponsors.
"Mr. Fang, is this alright? We'll fix anything that's not right right away." Xie Bin rushed into the office with a USB drive, plugged it into the computer, and clicked play.
Fang Yang, who was drinking tea at the coffee table, smiled when he saw Xie Bin's eagerness. He got up, went to the computer, and sat down in Xie Bin's boss chair. "Bring a chair over and sit down. Let's take a look together."
Xie Bin didn't hesitate; he pulled over a swivel chair and sat next to Fang Yang. Just then, the theme song "Twin Dragons" started playing from the speakers.
Sharpening the sword's edge and drawing the bow, both tenacity and pride are brought to the fore.
With such a fierce attack, who can ruin my beautiful dream?
The two war dragons above the sky, standing on floating clouds.
Laughing at the heroes of the world
Who is more useful than whom?
...
"Mr. Fang, this song is really inspiring! This is the kind of song a real man should sing; it exudes a heroic spirit!"
Fang Yang smiled. The song did have a heroic and chivalrous feel to it, which might stir up a wave among students and young men, but it probably wouldn't be popular with girls. However, the ending theme song could fill the gap, so it was a case of each having their own appeal!
After the theme song ended, the scene changed, and the words "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" appeared from the void, crossing time and space. Fang Yang personally wrote a few cursive characters on this spot, making the atmosphere even more grand.
The next few characters, "Episode 1," are written in neat, regular script, and the main drama begins. Two shady thugs in tattered clothes appear on a bustling street. The shops around them, with their vintage feel, and the simply dressed passersby all contribute to a sense of desolation.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people were living in misery and starving. Even in Yangzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the scene was desolate. Fang Yang created a unique background introduction by typing in bold, which immediately set off suspense.
Xie Bin watched with great interest. "President Fang, your opening background introduction is very original. It's immediately clear, without having to guess the historical context, and it's very eye-catching! Especially the combination of bold text and voice introduction, it feels very solemn!"
Fang Yang nodded, "When I was designing it, I felt that this would save time in explaining the key points and make it easy for people to understand at a glance. I didn't expect it to have such an unexpected benefit!"
As the plot unfolds, Fang Yang watches the familiar scenes change and feels a pang of nostalgia. After decades, he finally sees familiar scenes again, although there are still some differences, such as the actors and the scenes. But there's nothing that can be done about it. No two leaves are the same in this world, let alone two sides of the same coin in a parallel world or a different time and space.
After the episode ended, Xie Bin was still a little reluctant to see it go. "How come it's over already? President Fang, it was so well made, it's just a bit short!"
Fang Yang rolled his eyes at Xie Bin. "A proper 45-minute drama, is that short? You want to watch it with commercials in the middle? Well, you'd have to like commercials to extend it to an hour."
Xie Bin chuckled sheepishly, "The main reason is that the plot is so good, so captivating. Before I knew it, forty-five minutes had passed. Hey, Mr. Fang, isn't this ending theme song, 'Can't Find Someone to Grow Old With,' the half-song you recorded for the first time? We can finally hear the full version! It's been such a relief!!!"
"Huh? You techie are interested in this too? Minister Xie, you've really impressed me!" Fang Yang looked at Xie Bin with a strange expression, completely incredulous!
Xie Bin rubbed his hands together. "President Fang, this is my wife. She really likes this song. She kept nagging me about it all the time, and I just got used to it without even realizing it, hehe."
Fang Yang stood up. "Alright, you can enjoy it here at your leisure, but don't leak it before the song is released! I'm going back to the company now, I have a ton of things to do there."
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I still have that much professional ethics. It's getting late, why don't you have lunch before you leave?" Xie Bin invited with a chuckle.
Fang Yang waved and left, saying, "I haven't been to the company for more than two months, and a lot of things have piled up. Let's have dinner together sometime. You should hurry up and finish your work; I'm looking forward to your good news."
Xie Bin saw Fang Yang off to his car, which goes without saying. After leaving, Fang Yang drove back to his office. Seeing that it was getting late, he went downstairs to the guesthouse for dinner. Now that Yuewen Entertainment Media has been expanding and has hundreds of employees, Fang Yang discussed with the person in charge of the guesthouse and decided to convert the entire guesthouse into a restaurant and incorporate it into the logistics canteen of Yuewen Entertainment Media. He also hired several hotel chefs, so that basically all kinds of tastes from all over the country could be catered to.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw Zhou Kai and Chen Fushu whispering to each other as they headed towards the cafeteria. Fang Yang quickly walked over to greet them, "Uncle Zhou and Uncle Chen, what are you talking about? I was just about to come find you later."
When Zhou Kai and Chen Fushu turned around and saw that it was Fang Yang, they both laughed and said, "They say you shouldn't talk about people behind their backs, isn't this yet another conclusion?"
Fang Yang laughed and said, "Are you talking about me? Tell me, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Zhou Kai shook the snowflakes off his clothes at the door. "It's too cold, so let's not talk at the door. Xiao Yang, come in quickly. I asked Lao Hu to prepare a hot pot for lunch. Since you're here, have some hot pot to warm up."
Chen Fushu glanced behind Fang Yang and asked curiously, "Where's Xiao Xin? Didn't she come back with you? Why isn't she here for dinner?"
"Didn't we come back on New Year's Day? Xiaoxin went back to Beijing for the holiday. She's been in Shanghai for almost three months, and her family misses her terribly!"
Zhou Kai pulled Fang Yang upstairs, "Hurry up, hurry up! Old Chen is getting impatient upstairs. This weather is so cold when it snows, it's freezing! If we don't go up soon, Old Chen will come down and yell at us!"
