The next day, many entertainment media outlets reported on Fang Zhao's concert.
The world's most authoritative periodical, Global Music, and Yanzhou's most authoritative music media outlet, Voice of Yanzhou, used large sections to introduce Fang Zhao, the young composer who had finally taken his first step.
Reviews by people like Xue Jing and Lin Xun were published in Global Music, while Ming Cang and the others published their own reviews in Voice of Yanzhou.
Other entertainment media outlets had a commercial nature, but Global Music and Voice of Yanzhou had a stronger artistic nature. Many new and old artists in the music circles paid attention to them.
Of course, Voice of Yanzhou and Global Music were not very approachable. Netizens naturally preferred to read reports that were entertaining and easy to understand.
Regardless of whether it was the matter of Fang Zhao's 10 pieces being sold out within an hour of the concert or the buyers who had bought the pieces, both became topics of discussion.
"Tsk — — This Fang Zhao is really a capable person!"
"Works that caught the eye of those parties are surely of good quality."
"Struck it rich! Fang Zhao has struck it rich this time! "
This was what many people thought.
High-level institutions like Huangzhou Geography Channel and research departments like the Huangzhou Life Sciences Research Institute gave people a stronger sense of novelty. Regardless of the price, people felt that this kind of thing was more impressive. They had seen too many commercial companies, and institutions like these were the things that excited the masses.
As for these kinds of high-level institutions and research departments, they wouldn't look for you just because you were a master, or use your work just because it was outstanding. You had to match their preferences, hit the right spot, and have someone recommend it. Only after considering all these factors, would they consider whether or not to buy it.
That was why Duan Qianji had said that Fang Zhao's luck was good this time. Usually, it was hard for others to find such opportunities, but this time, Fang Zhao had gotten two.
After the concert ended, Fang Zhao returned and found time to contact Fan Lin, who was still cultivating arrow sunflowers at Outpost 23's experimental plot on planet Baiji, to thank him for recommending Fang Zhao to the Huangzhou Life Sciences Research Institute.
"They really bought it? I told them that it's mainly based on the quality of your work. You'll be chosen based on your own ability. "
Fan Lin did not feel that he had done much. When he had been watching the concert online with the other people at the outpost, he had felt that the song "The Power of Life" was not bad, and it had been inspired by the germination of the arrow sunflowers he had been cultivating. It just so happened that the Huangzhou Life Sciences Research Institute had invited him to attend the institute's 400th anniversary celebration at the end of the year, so he had mentioned it to them.
The Huangzhou Life Sciences Research Institute produced a large-scale documentary every 100 years. It recorded the major achievements and research results of the past 100 years, as well as the cultural landscape. They also wanted to find a master composer to compose the music.
Fan Lin was also happy that this song had been chosen. Although it was Fang Zhao's composition, the background of the composition was his arrow sunflowers! Share the glory!
There would surely be more than one soundtrack in the documentary, but for Fang Zhao's song to be chosen was also a fortuitous encounter.
"The experiment here is also nearing its end. I will return at the end of the year and may not leave Mother Planet for the next few years. Let's have a good chat then!" Fan Lin said with a smile.
When Fang Zhao was not at the outpost, Fan Lin felt that he was missing a good listener. Although Fang Zhao did not speak much, every time he spoke, his words were straight to the point. Furthermore, he was not narrow-minded, so Fan Lin chatted happily.
After Fang Zhao had retired, Fan Lin had been rather lonely.
After ending the call with Fan Lin, Fang Zhao looked at the evaluations of a few authoritative magazines in the music industry, scanned the comments online, and did not read any further. As for what the industry had to say, Fang Zhao could tell from the conversations of the veterans that Xue Jing had brought over. As for the rest, Silver Wing's team would control the direction online. At least for now, the overall situation was pretty good.
After going offline, Fang Zhao received a call from Duan Qianji's number one secretary, Zhu Zhen.
"You can take a good break for the time being. As for the copyrights, the contract has already been signed and the buyers are paying. Now, the internal procedures are in progress. Your portion will be transferred to your account next month when the company issues your salary. Oh right, Fiery Bird's event on August 18th, will you be attending? "
During Fang Zhao's military service, Duan Qianji had assigned Zhu Zhen to the virtual projects department to manage. Now that the virtual projects department had been taken over by Zu Wen, Zhu Zhen had been transferred back by Duan Qianji to handle other matters.
"Jinro has informed me. Fiery Bird's Yanzhou branch has also sent me an invitation. When the time comes, I will be attending as a special guest," Fang Zhao replied.
Zhu Zhen had wanted to let Fang Zhao tag along with the gaming team, but she had not expected that Fiery Bird would actually send Fang Zhao a separate invitation. On second thought, it made sense. Fang Zhao had endorsed a series of Fiery Bird products and had worked with them in the past. It was reasonable for him to receive a special invitation.
"That's great. I don't have to inform you about anything else." Zhu Zhen had just reminded Fang Zhao about the August 18th event and briefed him on the settlement after the copyrights had been sold. After the briefing, Zhu Zhen did not say anything else.
Actually, in Fang Zhao's composing notebook, there were still two completed pieces that had not been taken out. One was "Peach Blossom Spring" and the other was "Ark." These two pieces had been composed while he was on another assignment. The setting was on planet Wai and could not be made public, so it would be difficult to explain why he had appeared on planet Wai during his military service. Thus, those two pieces did not appear in today's concert. What Duan Qianji meant was that the company would purchase the copyrights and use them in future productions at the Wai Film Entertainment Base.
Although it was an internal purchase, not only would the price not be lowered, it would even be higher to compensate for the low price of "Expedition." These would all be settled along with the other works that had been sold.
Knowing that Fang Zhao was going to make a killing after selling all the copyrights, the department and gaming team, as well as a few close friends and relatives, all asked him to treat them.
Fang Zhao replied to all his friends and relatives before taking a break.
As for the virtual projects department, Fang Zhao did not intend to take up any position there. He had other plans. He did not want to take up a position and collect a salary. He also wanted to give those hardworking and capable youngsters a chance to rise. Zu Wen had seized this opportunity.
He believed that they would develop the virtual projects department even better.
Early the next morning, Fang Zhao had just finished breakfast when he received a private message.
The sender's verified information was "The World's Most Authoritative Pet Magazine, PET." It was a corporate account.
The content of the private message was to create a file for Fang Zhao's pets. It was referring to Curly Hair.
PET had its own pet file, and it was all created by their professional team. Pets that could have a file on PET all had their own special characteristics.
Some people tried all sorts of ways to create a file on PET, because the value of a pet with a file on PET would not be too low, and its popularity would increase. However, to reduce commercial hype, PET also strictly adhered to their own standards when choosing a file on a pet.
However, there were people who were willing to accept a file on a pet, and there were also people who were unwilling, like Fang Zhao.
In the past, PET had contacted Fang Zhao a few times, not two years in advance. Just this April, when Fang Zhao had just returned, they had also asked. However, at that time, Fang Zhao had used the excuse of preparing for a concert to reject them. Now that the concert had ended, PET had hurriedly sent another request.
Fang Zhao could also reject them again, but Curly Hair still had some fame in the pet circles. Furthermore, the competition in Muzhou had directly raised his value. If he kept hiding it, it would have the opposite effect. Looking at PET's stance, it was clear that if Fang Zhao continued to reject them, they would still insist on sending requests again and again.
If he continued to reject them, people would suspect that Fang Zhao was hiding something.
However, Fang Zhao did not immediately agree. Instead, he replied, "Do I need to draw blood to create a file?"
Previously, Fang Zhao had also asked some people and checked online. He knew that when a file was created, there would be people who would visit the pet for a checkup. However, Curly Hair was too special, so Fang Zhao still had to be more cautious.
The other side had probably been waiting all along. After Fang Zhao sent this message, the other side immediately responded.
"No, no, no! Please believe that we are the most reputable and authoritative pet magazine in the world. We will not secretly draw blood from a pet without the owner's permission! We will not steal even a single strand of hair! "
There was too much information hidden within the blood, hair, and so on. Many pet owners were unwilling to divulge this information, especially those pets that were highly valued but had genetic defects. The owners definitely did not want outsiders to know about this.
Even if the pet was healthy, the owners were also unwilling to do so. Thus, when they heard Fang Zhao's question, PET's side hurriedly guaranteed that they would never do such things that violated privacy. The only reason they did a checkup for a pet was to create a better file and estimate the value of the pet.
That's right. PET would estimate the value of the pet after creating a file. This file was not always the same. Every year, they would provide one to three free checkups for the pets that were created. Then, the file would be updated according to the pet's condition, and the value of the pet might also change.
When Curly Hair had first won the championship in Muzhou, PET had wanted to create a file, but they had not been able to contact Fang Zhao at that time. After much difficulty, they had managed to contact Fang Zhao, but they had been rejected by Fang Zhao. At that time, Fang Zhao had been investigating the black street footage and had discovered the strange situation when he had just been reborn. He did not want Curly Hair's abnormality to be known by more people. Su Hou's team was still considered his own people, but it was hard to say for PET. If they really found any problems, Fang Zhao would not be able to cover it up.
The second year, PET had asked again, and Fang Zhao had used his military service as an excuse to reject it.
This year, PET still did not give up. This time, they had finally waited for Fang Zhao's approval. PET was very excited to get the permission.
"OK! Thank you very much, Mr. Fang, for giving us this opportunity. You can supervise from the side during the checkup. May I know when you have time? "
"Either today or tomorrow is fine," Fang Zhao replied.
"You can choose the location of the file. It can be at your home, or you can send it to our Yanzhou branch. It is in Qi'an City, not far."
"At home." Fang Zhao did not want to send Curly Hair to PET's Yanzhou branch. It was more passive in someone else's territory. It was better to choose at home.
"OK, please give us your address. We will send people over today. Don't worry, our PET has been around for 200 years. We have a good reputation. Without permission, we will definitely not steal the genetic information of a pet."
After making the call, Fang Zhao was about to go offline when he heard the other side say, "Please wait a moment! Mr. Fang, we would also like to ask if your other pet is also willing to be put on the file by PET? "
"That sea slug?" Fang Zhao asked.
"Yes, yes! It is that sea slug with extraterrestrial genes. May I ask if you will allow our staff to put it on file? Please be at ease. We have professional appraisers from headquarters. They will definitely not harm its health. There are also veterinarians! "
In the past, these kinds of creatures with extraterrestrial genes could only be brought into Earth through research labs that had obtained permission. In recent years, the restrictions had been relaxed, but they still had to show all sorts of proof, and the procedures were cumbersome. Thus, even though the restrictions had been relaxed, there were still not many cases of pets with extraterrestrial genes being raised.
It was precisely because of the uniqueness of its extraterrestrial genes that PET had set its sights on it.
Fang Zhao thought about it and said, "Sure."
"Thank you very much for your trust! Our appraisers will immediately set off for Yanzhou's Qi'an City. In a while, I will send you their information. "
Two minutes later.
PET had decided on the personnel to be sent to Yanzhou.
Five people.
Two veterinarians. One specialized in treating dogs, and the other specialized in treating sea slugs. Two professional archivists and a photographer. To prevent people from impersonating them, PET had sent Fang Zhao the looks, employee numbers, and contact details of these five people.
PET headquarters was in Maersizhou. The five people would directly fly over from Maerzhou by flying transport.
Zuo Yu and Yan Biao were very curious when they found out that someone would be coming to set up a file on Curly Hair in the afternoon. They really did not understand this aspect. After searching online, they had originally thought that Curly Hair's net worth would be in the top three, but they had not expected that on the PET rankings, the top ten pets in the entire world were all worth more than 100 million.
At the top of the list was a lion. It was said that it was one of the five lions that had been successfully bred when the laboratory had resurrected creatures from the Old Era. Now, the other four were in Huangzhou zoos. Only that one had been bought as a pet.
Someone who could get such a lion as a pet was surely not ordinary.
"Estimated value... 300 million? It's just a lion from the Old Era. 300 million?! "Yan Biao felt that this was inconceivable. Curly Hair could still participate in competitions. His net worth of over 100 million had been earned in Muzhou. What about this number one? What could it do? How could it be worth 300 million?
Zuo Yu did not find it hard to accept. "Rare things are valued. There are only five of them in the entire world. Furthermore, there are regulations to revive creatures from the Old Era, and there are limits to the number of such large beasts. Besides, in terms of commercial value, to prevent their value from depreciating, I reckon there will not be many more in the future. And Curly Hair is a dog. No matter how many championships he has won, in everyone's eyes, he is still a dog. Dogs are not rare species. "
"Then what about him?" Yan Biao pointed to the water tank in Fang Zhao's study. "That 'rabbit' in there has extraterrestrial genes. There is only one in the entire world! If we appraise it according to your standards, wouldn't it be worth 500 million? "
