After dinner, Fang Yang watched Zhou Xin and Ni Suqiong slumped on the sofa, rubbing their round bellies, talking about losing weight while worrying that the food was too delicious and they should eat their fill before trying to lose weight!
Fang Yang watched their troubles with a smile, not getting involved. With Zhou Xin and Ni Suqiong joining the group, Fang Yang was thinking about how to plan Zhou Xin's future. After all, the two of them had come all the way here to seek refuge, not to just coast along.
"Mr. Fang, my daughter Xiaoxin has joined your company. Do you have any detailed career plans for her?" As a professional agent, Ni Suqiong got straight to the point.
"First of all, let's focus on making a good TV series, 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.' Xiao Xin isn't very famous and lacks representative works. As long as she gives an outstanding performance in 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty' and catches the audience's eye, the rest will be easier. My next project is a Qing Dynasty drama with a female lead, and I'll have Xiao Xin as the lead actress. Two dramas will be enough for her to become famous."
"It seems Mr. Fang is very confident. Has the script for the next drama been completed? May I take a look at it first?"
"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. It will be available on the Yuewen Media website's literature section on the 1st of next month. Just remember to check it out online then."
"Alright, then I look forward to Mr. Fang's masterpiece!"
"Also," Fang Yang glanced at Zhou Xin, "you guys shouldn't be short of money, right? Don't rush to take on small gigs, it's a waste of time and energy. Right now, it's best to stay at the company and learn acting from the instructors."
Zhou Xin pouted, "She's an outstanding graduate of the Kyoto Film Academy."
Fang Yang laughed and said, "Blindly imitating will only erase your own characteristics. The teachers our company has hired are all veteran actors who have been in the entertainment industry for decades. They will teach you their experience step by step, which is something you can never learn in the classroom!"
"Alright then, I'll go to the company to learn tomorrow."
"Our company's main focus in the future is the film industry, so with your current level, you can only make a living in the television industry at best. It's a long and arduous road ahead, so keep up the good work, young man!"
Zhou Xin rolled her eyes. "Auntie, look at this narcissist! He's shameless! Let's go, let's ignore him!"
Ni Suqiong rolled her eyes at Fang Yang, who was displaying a chauvinistic attitude. "Alright, let's go home now. We'll have the training arranged by Boss Fang tomorrow morning. We must learn well and not let someone look down on us!"
Fang Yang watched in bewilderment as the two walked out of the villa hand in hand, and hurriedly pulled two large suitcases, saying, "Wait for me, there are still two suitcases left!"
The next day, when Fang Yang arrived at the company, Zhou Xin and Ni Suqiong were already waiting. Seeing that Fang Yang was so late, they couldn't help but scold him, "Boss Fang, you're too late! Look, the sun is already high in the sky!"
Fang Yang glanced at his watch. "It's not late, it's only nine o'clock. There's nothing to do if I come too early. I work overtime and go to bed late, so I usually arrive around this time."
"Fine, I can't argue with you. When am I going to class?"
"It's all arranged. It will start this afternoon. You have three days to do some basic training, and you'll be joining the team in three days. Now, you two go and complete the onboarding procedures and get familiar with the company."
Fang Yang pressed the phone on the table to call the human resources department and asked them to send someone to take Zhou Xin and the other person to complete the formalities.
As soon as the two left, Zheng Xiuli knocked on the door and came in, "President Fang, I'm back!"
Fang Yang looked up and saw Zheng Xiuli's tired face, and comforted her, "You must have had a hard time these past few days. Take a few days off, and I'll write you a song to boost your fame."
Zheng Xiuli's eyes lit up. "President Fang, I don't need to rest. Just give me the song. I have nothing to do right now anyway, and singing can also cultivate my mind."
"Look at you, you look so tired. How long has it been since you had a proper rest? Go and rest first, I'll give it to you later."
"Mr. Fang, how can I rest well if you keep me in suspense like this? Just give it to me quickly, I'll take it and go back to rest. Besides, you're going to film in three days, how will you have time to write songs for me then!" Zheng Xiuli grabbed Fang Yang's arm and used her coquettish charm.
Fang Yang touched his goosebump-covered arm and said, "No, I'm not afraid of you. The song is ready. This time it's a Cantonese song, and you're fluent in Cantonese, so singing it won't be a problem."
Zheng Xiuli exclaimed in surprise, "President Fang, you can even write Cantonese songs?"
"Look at what you're saying, as if writing Cantonese songs is really that difficult."
"No, but the pronunciation of Cantonese and Mandarin is very different. It's hard to write songs if you're not very proficient in Cantonese. Even in Guangzhou, there aren't many people who can write songs. It's almost only Hong Kong that is the birthplace of Cantonese songs. There are very few famous Cantonese songs now."
"It's precisely because Cantonese songs have faded into obscurity that I wrote a Cantonese song for you. It can evoke people's deepest memories and recall that era of dazzling stars. If you sing it well, it's like raising a flag. Think about the benefits; I don't need to explain them to you!"
Zheng Xiuli shook her head. "I really love those singers' songs. I used to hum them every day when I was little. It's a pity that after so many years, there aren't many outstanding songs anymore. Cantonese songs have also faded into obscurity and lost their former glory. Perhaps, in a few more years, they will become dust in history, just like those niche folk instruments!"
Fang Yang looked at the dejected Zheng Xiuli and smiled, "Don't worry, with me here, Cantonese songs will eventually shine with their most brilliant light again!"
Zheng Xiuli looked at Fang Yang with admiration and tapped Zhen Shou hard, "President Fang, I believe in you!"
Fang Yang pulled a sheet of music from the drawer. "Take a look. Contact me anytime if you have any questions."
Zheng Xiuli took the sheet music, "Easily Hurt Woman." Zheng Xiuli was classically trained, and reading music was a basic skill for her. She hummed a few lines in Cantonese according to the sheet music and immediately exclaimed with delight, "Mr. Fang, this Cantonese song is very nice. I like it very much. Thank you for the song, Mr. Fang!"
Fang Yang waved his hand, "If you're not feeling well, go home and rest. Get some rest before practicing singing. In your current state, don't push yourself too hard. I'll talk to your manager later. There's no need to push yourself so hard. Health is the foundation of everything. You need to be in good shape to work better."
Zheng Xiuli squinted and said, "It has nothing to do with Sister Huang. I just need to take on more gigs. I should work hard while I'm young. When I'm old, I won't be able to work as hard as I used to."
After seeing Zheng Xiuli off, Fang Yang threw himself back into copying the novel "Princess Pearl". He wasn't worried at all about whether "Easily Hurt Woman" would be a hit. "Easily Hurt Woman" was the debut and breakthrough work of that diva. It won numerous awards when it was released, which established her status after returning to Hong Kong. Even decades later, it was still sung by countless people in KTV.
