Jinghua Film and Television acted quickly. On the first day after the National Day holiday, as soon as Fang Yang returned to work, Yang Huajin came over with an agreement to confirm with him.
"Xiao Yang, I just received a song invitation agreement from Jinghua Film and Television. You know about this, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou from Jinghua Film and Television sent me the script yesterday. Writing the song shouldn't be a problem, so I agreed. Once you sign it, send it to them. I'll record a demo and send it to them in the next couple of days."
"Okay, it's good that you know about this. We signed a comprehensive agreement with Jinghua Film and Television before. As long as things aren't too difficult, we generally agree to whatever we can. Now that you're aware of this, I'll stamp it and send it over."
"It's okay, I'll finish writing the song today and record the demo tomorrow. Oh, by the way, can you contact the TV station later to see when filming can start?"
"Okay, I understand. You're busy now!"
Yang Huajingang walked to the door, then turned back. "By the way, Xiaoyang, the two songs you and Zheng Xiuli sang before National Day have been very popular lately, each with over five million downloads. The company has received many commercial performance invitations. Would you like to take a look?"
Fang Yang waved his hand, "I won't go. Zheng Xiuli, you and her agent can discuss it. If it's something worthwhile, you can go. There's no need to waste your popularity on something small."
Yang Huajin nodded. "Okay, I'll tell her agent first. You have some interview invitations over there. I'll show them to you later. Some of them are from major media outlets that I'm afraid it will be difficult to refuse."
Fang Yang nodded and quickly redeemed "Young Ambition Knows No Sorrow" from the system. Thanks to the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala these past few days, his popularity had increased rapidly, and he could redeem a few more songs, but he didn't need them for the time being.
"Loser Men and Women" will be released soon, and it is estimated that it will gain another wave of popularity. "Calabash" and "Tom and Jerry" are becoming increasingly popular, and they are crucial to Fang Yang's increase in popularity.
After finishing his business, Yang Huajin walked into the office with a stack of invitations. "Xiao Yang, these are all interview requests that have been sent over the past two days. There's also an invitation for the 10th China Music Golden Bell Awards, which starts next month. Take a look."
Fang Yang accepted the invitations and saw that most of them were interview invitations from local TV stations, and some lesser-known provincial and municipal TV stations were also among them. However, one of the interview invitations from CCTV caught Fang Yang's attention.
"Uncle Yang, how come there's an interview invitation from CTV here?" Fang Yang pulled out the invitation and asked Yang Huajin.
"Your song 'The Moon on the Fifteenth' caused a great sensation in the military and has great practical significance, so CCTV wants to interview you as part of the National Day celebrations. This invitation cannot be refused, and time is of the essence. You have to go to Beijing tomorrow. The tickets have already been booked for you!"
Fang Yang nodded. He felt it was his duty to contribute to the National Day celebrations, and he absolutely had to go!
After looking through the other invitations, Fang Yang found that most of them were optional and just trying to ride the wave of popularity, so he lost interest and finally accepted two invitations: one from CCTV and the other from the China Music Golden Tube Awards.
Yang Huajin took the invitation and went out. Fang Yang had just taken a sip of water when there was a knocking sound at the door. Fang Yang called out "Come in," and Zheng Xiuli walked in with a big smile on her face.
"Mr. Fang, I'm leaving for another city this afternoon for a promotional event. Do you have time at noon? Would it be convenient for you to have lunch with me?"
Fang Yang waved his hand, "Go ahead and do your thing. I really can't find the time these next two days. Let's get together again next time!"
Zheng Xiuli said with a long face, "Okay, Mr. Fang, you can't shirk your responsibilities next time!"
"It's not that I'm trying to shirk responsibility. I have to finish a theme song for a TV series by Jinghua Film and Television today, and I have an interview at Kyoto CTV tomorrow, so I'm very busy. I didn't mean to refuse you."
"Wow, Mr. Fang, you're going to be on CTV! You must tell me when it airs, I want to come and behold your divine light!"
Fang Yang pointed at Zheng Xiuli and said, "What are you saying? Hurry up and pack your luggage. This trip is a bit tiring, but it will help you gain popularity. I'll give you this song later to stabilize your popularity."
Zheng Xiuli cheered, "Thank you, President Fang! I love you so much! I'll treat you to a big meal later, you have to say yes!"
Fang Yang waved his hand to send Zheng Xiuli away, then got up and went to the practice room to refine "Young Ambition Knows No Sorrow".
In the afternoon, Fang Yang and Zhu Laosan practiced together several times. When they felt it was about right, they recorded a demo and sent it to Jinghua Film and Television. Anyway, it was just a sample, so the requirements weren't too high. The key was the lyrics and music, and the song would still be sung by a singer from Jinghua Film and Television.
Less than an hour later, Jinghua Film and Television notified Fang Yang that the theme song had been accepted, and Fang Yang stopped paying attention to it.
Yang Huajin, exhausted after a long day, pushed open the door and came in. "Xiao Yang, we have news from the TV station. Everything is basically ready. Filming will start on the 16th, a week from now. They say it's an auspicious day, a good day for filming to begin. Get ready!"
"The 16th, okay, that's a tight schedule. How's the editing of 'Loser Men and Women' coming along? I've been so busy every day that I haven't had a chance to check on it."
"Fu Ming came to see you once before, but you went to the recording studio to record a song, and he went to oversee the editing. But Fu Ming has really been working hard lately; he's lost a lot of weight, so it seems he hasn't been getting enough rest."
"Let's go check out the editing room!"
Fang Yang beckoned Yang Huajin downstairs, and they drove towards the film company. At this moment, Fang Yang felt more and more that it was inconvenient for the company not to have its own headquarters building. The various departments of the same company were divided into several buildings, and it took a lot of time to travel between them.
The editing room was on the third floor of the film company. As soon as Fang Yang entered, he found the editor extremely busy and suffering under Fu Ming's command. Fu Ming looked disheveled, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights, with bloodshot eyes.
"Director Fu, have you not slept for days? Editing can't be rushed; your health is the most important thing!"
Upon hearing that it was Fang Yang and Yang Huajin entering, Fu Ming quickly stood up. "President Fang and President Yang are here! It's not that I'm not in a hurry, but the film set is on hold and waiting. Every day of delay means a lot more money incurred, so I have to urge them here!"
Fang Yang sat down next to Fu Ming. "How many episodes have been cut?"
"It's the final episode. We'll be able to see the initial edited video soon. Mr. Fang, you've come at the perfect time. Please give us your suggestions after watching it."
While they were talking, the editor had already finished editing the last episode. "Loser Men and Women" didn't have many special effects. The editor compressed all the editing results into one disk and handed it to Fu Ming. The rest was up to Fu Ming to take it to the screening room for testing.
Fu Ming took the USB drive and invited Fang Yang and Yang Huajin to the screening room to watch it. As for the final result, it would still be up to Fang Yang, the big boss, and the screenwriter to make the final decision!
