After Xie Bin and He Mali's interruption, the atmosphere of the meeting became more relaxed. Fang Yang's aura had been too strong before. One moment he was praising Jin Dahai, and the next he was giving him a serious criticism. The old saying "serving a ruler is like serving a tiger" was now deeply understood.
Fang Yang rarely holds meetings. Most of the time, he goes to the branch offices to seek solutions when there is a problem. As long as the branch offices cooperate quickly and provide a perfect solution, he rarely inquires about the branch offices' affairs, which makes the branch offices somewhat complacent.
After Yang Huajin repeatedly reminded him, Fang Yang had been trying to find a way to solve this problem, and Jin Dahai just happened to run into the line of fire.
Jin Dahai is impeccable in strictly following orders, but he is indeed a bit lacking in innovation. Perhaps he has suffered in innovation before, and as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. He is also afraid of making a mistake, which would not only lead to criticism but also affect the income of his subordinates.
But Jin Dahai never expected that when you only had two hundred people, Fang Yang could give you a few scripts, which would generate revenue for the department and the company. But now that you have a large department with over a thousand people, aren't you afraid of squeezing Fang Yang dry?
This is a matter of responsibility and vision on the part of the department leader—being bound by rules and afraid of failure! They've even lost their ambition. It would be strange if Fang Yang didn't give them a good whack!
Zhu Laosan, the director of the composition department, was appointed this year. Originally, the Black Panther Band was only responsible for the music for Fang Yang and a few others. However, with only a few people in the music department, there were not many pieces of music that needed to be done by them throughout the month. Unable to sit still, Zhu Laosan took the lead in going to Fang Yang and asked him to arrange some practical things for them to do. Otherwise, he would feel bad for receiving a high salary every month without doing any work!
Fang Yang, who was being pestered relentlessly, had no choice but to agree to arrange some practical positions. In the end, Zhu Laosan became the director of the composition department, Zhong Hongbao was in charge of the recording studio, and the others remained the same, but they also gained the title of instrumental teacher, so that they could give guidance to any newcomers who liked instruments.
As for the position of music department head, it was disliked by everyone. Sitting in that position, having to think about all the singers in the music department all day long, was not something that a group of old men who were about to retire could do.
Seeing that no one seemed inclined to report, Zhu Laosan raised his hand and spoke: "The composition department originally recruited mostly fresh graduates, which is good as a reserve, but to achieve results quickly, we need some experienced people to mentor and guide us. Recently, we recruited two 'King of Composition' to supplement the composition department, so President Fang doesn't need to be in charge of all the singers' songs anymore. Moreover, the two 'King of Composition' recently submitted two songs, which I found quite good. We have already arranged for two suitable singers to work on them, and we hope to achieve good results!"
"Director Zhu did a great job. No one in this world can support a company alone. If more experienced composers are willing to join us, we can recruit them as long as they are of good character. Newcomers need time to grow. Although they may occasionally have a flash of inspiration and produce one or two good songs, we can't just rely on those flashes of inspiration. We need a lot of good works. Otherwise, how can we satisfy the appetites of so many singers who are eagerly waiting to be nurtured?"
Zhu Laosan grinned and said, "What President Fang said is true. I've been planning to recruit one or two top-tier singers. The young men and women in the company rely on just one or two songs and are out doing gigs all day. I'm not afraid of being laughed at, and I can't bear to lose face. If we had one or two top-tier singers, at least we wouldn't be in such a mess."
Fang Yang smiled and glanced at Zhu Laosan, "Director Zhu is indeed very resourceful. His connections in the industry are unmatched. If you can find one or two top musicians to oversee the company, it will be a great achievement, and the company will reward you accordingly."
Zhu Laosan shook his head and laughed, "These are all my duties, I don't need any reward."
Fang Yang wasn't surprised. "We'll provide everything we need. It's stated in the company policy. If you don't want it, you can use it to decorate your new house."
When Zhu Laosan heard that Fang Yang had mentioned that there would be housing allocations after the headquarters was completed, he smiled and said, "Then thank you, President Fang."
With the composition department's issues resolved, Zhong Zhifeng suggested, "President Fang, there's a lot of online support for you to hold a concert. Why don't you hold one whenever you have time? It would be extremely beneficial for both the company and you."
"I mentioned this at the awards ceremony. We should wait until the company headquarters is completed before holding the concert. When the company's seven-star cinema is completed, holding the concert will not only attract tourists to the company's tourism projects, but also showcase the soft power of our cinema to the outside world. It's a win-win-win situation, which is much better than hastily borrowing someone else's venue now."
"Oh? I see. Mr. Fang is very thoughtful. If that's the case, holding the first concert at your own venue is even more symbolic."
Fang Yang waved his hand and turned his gaze to Chen Fushu. The company's core business was still on the Yuewen Entertainment Media website, so Fang Yang naturally paid more attention to this area.
Sensing Fang Yang's gaze, Chen Fushu smiled and said, "The website is doing very well right now. The music section has reached resource exchange agreements with several major music websites. All the music in China can now be listened to and downloaded on the Yuewen website, and the music on our website can also be downloaded from other websites. From the current perspective, this has had a positive effect on our website, with the number of effective customers increasing by 20%!"
"Since your novel 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' was published on our online reading website, we launched a contest for novels with the same name. The results were excellent, and several very popular novels with the same name emerged. They also have great adaptation potential, and our company is currently in talks with you. Once the novel is completed, we can secure the adaptation rights."
"At the same time, this event has also attracted a wave of well-known online authors to join the site. Their arrival has brought their loyal fans to the website. Now the reading website has more than 100 million registered users and more than 30 million daily active users. Everything is developing in a positive direction."
Fang Yang nodded, "The website is our foundation and our company's biggest resource guarantee for the future. We already have the film and television aspect, and I suggest that we also open a live streaming website and a short video website. After the headquarters is built, these two websites will become a window to showcase our company's activities. We can also broadcast any events at the amusement park through the live streaming website. It's much better to have these resources in our own hands than to be controlled by others."
Chen Fushu's eyes lit up. "President Fang's suggestion is excellent. These two websites are a bit difficult for us right now, mainly because of server limitations. But once the headquarters is built, its massive database will be enough to support us in broadcasting live globally and promoting our best practices to the world."
Fang Yang slammed his fist on the table and said, "You've thought even further ahead than I have. It's true that we need to develop a global strategy, which is why we built such a large database in the first place. But we have to take things one step at a time. Right now, you need to do a good job on the domestic part first. While there's still a year left for construction, you can make a plan now and see how to do it. We can start recruiting after the new year. Don't wait until the last minute to start planning."
