Comparatively speaking, the older employees of several companies prefer to have the show premiere on the website first. The website holds a lot of emotional value for them, just like their own child. When there's something delicious to eat, the first thing they think of is their own child. As for others, no one is as important as their own child.
Therefore, Chen Chen's words received a lot of support. Even Zhong Zhifeng, when faced with the company's core business, couldn't insist too much. Everyone knows that the website is the cornerstone of the company, and many of the company's policies and developments revolve around the website. No one can stop the grand plan for the website's development.
Moreover, Zhong Zhifeng's initial idea was not wrong. After gaining fame on the TV station, selling it to a film and television website would increase its value. However, that would be in the case that Yuewen Entertainment Media did not have a film and television website. Since they have their own website, there is definitely nothing more important than prioritizing the development of their own website!
Once we reach a consensus, everything else becomes easier: how to do a good job of publicity. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Even a good film or television work will be overlooked without proper promotion. The saying "even good wine needs a good location" applies to any era!
Fang Yang didn't concern himself with publicity. Now that the company was working in a centralized office and the number of employees had increased significantly, professional tasks were left to professionals. Fang Yang couldn't possibly handle all the work himself. Even Yang Huajin and Chen Chen left the film review room and, as it was nearing the end of the workday, they all gathered in Fang Yang's office for tea.
This was Wang Jialiang's first time visiting Fang Yang's new office. Looking at the entire floor, several thousand square meters, transformed into a spacious, livable, and office-friendly space, Wang Jialiang was filled with envy. "President Fang, your office is truly... indescribable."
Fang Yang smiled and said, "These are all thanks to my uncles and elders who worried that they couldn't give me the best. I can only keep their kindness in my heart. My greatest gratitude is to make the company bigger and stronger so that they can have a secure old age."
Yang Huajin waved his hand, "Let's not talk about sentimental things. You deserve all of this. The whole company belongs to you. Giving you the greatest enjoyment is what we should do. Without the hard work of the past two years, how could we be earning high salaries and living in villas like we are now? We would be squatting in some corner eating steamed buns long ago."
Chen Chen chimed in, "That's right, you deserve all of this. Now that the company is on the right track, you should go out and film less. For the past six months, you've been out without a word, making everyone anxious and worried every day, afraid that something might happen!"
Fang Yang smiled and accepted the criticism from the two elders. "Alright, the company is expanding more and more, so it's really not convenient for me to go out much. Apart from shooting 3D movies, I basically won't be going out much. Director Wang, the responsibility will fall on your shoulders from now on."
Wang Jialiang laughed and said, "I have no problem with that. Besides, I'm just waving a megaphone and directing people to do things. What hardship could there be!"
"Director Wang, you've just returned, so take a break for a while. The company has now opened up its website and channels with Hong Kong Island. In the future, we will be shooting some movies and TV series with local characteristics. Therefore, filming in Guangdong Province will account for a large proportion of our work. Since you are from there, communication will be more convenient. So, your responsibilities will be heavier in the future."
"It's alright, it's alright. I'm used to it there, and I have a lot of connections. You just need to make the arrangements."
Fang Yang got up and took out a folder from his desk. "This is the script for your next movie. Take a month off and study it slowly when you have time. The lead actors can still be the same group I used to make 'Shaolin Temple.' They are all promising talents who have been practicing martial arts since they were young. They can go straight to the lead roles in this movie."
Wang Jialiang didn't rush to express his opinion. Instead, he opened the folder and carefully read the story outline, which was only half a page long. He finished reading it in just a few minutes.
“I have a memory of Wong Fei-hung, and Po Chi Lam is also a long-established brand in Guangdong Province. There is also a legend about the Foshan Shadowless Kick, but Po Chi Lam needs to obtain their authorization in advance. I will go to them to handle this matter.”
This was the first time Yang Huajin had heard of this. "Won't Baozhilin ask us for money?"
"Probably not," Wang Jialiang laughed. "Speaking of which, Baozhilin should be paying us an advertising fee, since we're advertising for them. If they don't pay, I'll just change the name to another pharmacy. Who wouldn't want to get famous and have their face in the spotlight?"
Chen Chen chuckled and said, "Old Wang is clearly an experienced businessman. Not only does he not have to pay licensing fees, but he can also make a profit from advertising. This is a worthwhile deal!"
Wang Jialiang chuckled, not taking it to heart. These are all normal procedures; if a director couldn't think of these things, it would be a dereliction of duty.
"This movie should evoke a wave of nostalgia in Guangdong Province and even Hong Kong. The Foshan Shadowless Kick is a unique martial art created by Wong Fei-hung and is very famous in the martial arts world. I will study this movie carefully!"
Fang Yang smiled and said, "Your main task now is to take a good rest. The main actors are all ready. We only need to strengthen a few positions. It won't take much time to select actors."
Wang Jialiang nodded, "Rest is for better work. Anyway, I now have my own house at the company, and my family has all moved in. I rest during the day and study scripts at night. People can't be too relaxed, otherwise they will easily become lazy."
Fang Yang smiled and said, "Director Wang can accompany his family on a trip to Jiangnan. Compared to Guangzhou, the water towns of Jiangnan are more poetic!"
"I believe that. Last year when I was filming 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' I traveled all over the Jiangnan region. The scenery was indeed beautiful, and it helped me relax."
...
After Wang Jialiang left, Chen Chen brought up the website. In the past six months, the website has not had many outstanding works, and its traffic has not increased significantly for a long time. The reason why everyone wants to keep the TV series "Mo Zhen" on the website is also because of the idea of increasing traffic. Even for the next variety show, Chen Fushu wants to keep it on the website and does not want the TV station to get involved.
Fang Yang, however, had a different opinion: "Actually, there is no conflict between the TV broadcast and our website's live broadcast. You know, when the variety show starts, our website is the first to broadcast it live. The TV station just edits the final cut after our live broadcast and then broadcasts it again. In other words, the two are not on the same channel at all."
Fang Yang explained to the two of them: "The advantage of our website is its timeliness. There is no editing, and the live broadcast time is relatively long. The advantage of TV stations is that they broadcast the edited footage in two time slots, which makes it more watchable. The two complement each other very well!"
