Chapter 617 There’s No Way Out (1)
It was said that popularity was nourishing. This was true. Fang Tang, who appeared in the midst of business activities, no longer had the slightest trace of her previous timidness. She was radiant and looked exactly like a popular female celebrity. Her speech and actions were graceful and elegant. “Don’t we have a new fantasy drama to film? Contact the main production team of ‘Nine Continents Token’ and ask for their opinion, especially the male actor’s schedule,” Fang Yunxi said to her assistant.
Since this main production team was able to produce such high-quality works, it was only natural that they would be able to produce another explosive design with more investment.
The assistant immediately went to make calls.
“Nine Continents Token” was a piece of work that the Fang family had invested in before, but because of Fang Yunxi’s deliberate suppression, and Shi Jin buying all the rights, Fang Yunxi barely earned anything from it.
However, the main production team should still remember her as an investor.
“How’s the questioning going?” Fang Yunxi asked when she saw her assistant return from the phone call.
“Miss Fang, the producer over there said that he doesn’t have time to work with us for the time being.”
“What about next year? Or the year after?”
“None.” The assistant shook her head.
“What happened to them? Who gave them the investment?”
“It’s Shi Jin,” the assistant said softly. “Because this drama had been suppressed for too long, their team was always at a loss. Until Shi Jin spent money to buy their drama, they were very grateful to Shi Jin. Back then, they even promised to cooperate with Shi Jin as long as she needed it.”
Fang Yunxi suddenly stood up. “Do they remember that the Fang family invested in them?”
The assistant lowered her head and did not say anything. She had not even finished speaking. The investment that Shi Jin had given them was not as high as the Fang family could give them now, but it had given them a lot of freedom and even promised them that they would get a share in the future dramas.
Now, they were willing to sign a five-year contract with Shi Jin directly, and they were not willing to consider the Fang family.
What were the investments from before? Fang Yunxi had been suppressing their show all along, preventing them from seeing the light of day and causing them to be unable to continue, so did they still need to be grateful to Fang Yunxi?
The assistant’s silent attitude represented everything
Fang Yunxi knew that there was no room for negotiation with this team.
She asked, “Has Fang Tang’s new drama been decided?”
“Shi Jin chose a script for a fashion related show for her. I heard that the character design is very good,” the assistant said softly.
“Good character design? Then let the fans see what kind of person the artist they like is.”
Naturally, Fang Yunxi would not let her succeed again.
Shi Jin met with the main production team of ‘Nine Continents Token’ and had a meal together with the director for the upcoming collaboration.
“Director Guan, I will not interfere with your creative freedom. As long as it is within a reasonable range, the company will fully support you.”
“Miss Shi, our entire team will definitely follow the quality of the ‘Nine Continents Token’. We will only do our best and will not discount the quality. Don’t worry.”
“Of course I’m not worried about Director Guan’s team.” Shi Jin smiled and raised her glass to toast with Director Guan.
Because of the importance of the collaboration with Director Guan, Yao Jiahong had flown from the capital to Hong Kong to meet them.
When he saw that Shi Jin had already drunk a glass, he took the glass from her.
After the meal, Yao Jiahong was a little tipsy, but Shi Jin was in good spirits.
“Shi Jin, when Time TV was first developed, the industry was full of ridicule. They all said that it was useless for us to spend so much money. They even said that online videos are things that can only be manipulated by capital. Now, they’re all silent.” Yao Jiahong looked as though he had just survived a disaster. “But to be honest, I also suspected that doing so would be meaningless. Would it really make the audience give up television and choose us to watch television dramas? From the looks of it now, you’re the one at the forefront of the times.”
“This is just the beginning. There are still many tough battles ahead,” Shi Jin said. “When the time comes, we will have to pay more.”
“That’s fine. I’m prepared.”
The next day, Fang Tang also flew back to Hong Kong from the capital. Firstly, she had to attend an event there and secondly, she wanted to visit her mother.
At night, Shi Jin invited her over for dinner.
When they met again, Fang Tang gave off a completely different feeling. The timidness on her body had long been washed away, revealing her generous confidence.
Her current attire was also completely different from before. With the help of the professional styling team, the beautiful qualities of her body were dug deeper. Her makeup and clothes were all trying their best to highlight her beauty, hiding some of her flaws.
After dinner, Shi Jin entered a recording studio with her.
Yao Jiahong and the voice recorder were waiting
“Shi Jin, are you here to record a song today?” Fang Tang looked around with great interest. Everyone knew that Shi Jin could sing well. It was really a pleasing sight to see her record a song with their own eyes.
“It’s not me. It’s you. I wrote a song for you. It’s going to be the opening theme song for your next drama.”
“You wrote it? Previously, Brother Yao told me to sing the opening theme song myself. I thought it would be written by someone else.”
“I wrote it. I heard you sing before, and according to your familiar pronunciation and singing habits, I wrote this song for you. Try
it.”
Fang Tang was already prepared to record a song, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon.
She did not have stage fright and immediately went forward. Under the guidance of the sound assistant, she familiarized herself with the equipment at the scene before starting the recording.
Although it was her first time recording a song, Shi Jin’s song had taken in mind her habits, so the recording was done fairly quickly. After two hours, she was done.
It was Fang Tang’s first time entering such a professional recording studio. Her voice was not bad, just like her person, it was unique and very recognizable.
When she finished singing, she also felt extremely satisfied.
“Was it okay?” She asked Shi Jin. In front of her, she really did not dare to be careless.
“Not bad. The sound assistant has praised you a few times. For a non-professional singer, you’re really impressive.”
Fang Tang was very excited. “If I have the chance in the future, I will record a few more songs.”
“Sure. In any case, there will be an interlude and an ending song in a television drama. Brother Yao can arrange it then. You should use this skill more often. Don’t waste it.”
“Okay.” Fang Tang nodded her head firmly. This period of time was the busiest period after she started working, but it was also the happiest time. She felt proud of everything she did.
