Chapter 503: 11-Year Summary and Spring Festival Gala Invitation
At six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xinyu pushed open the door and came in.
"Mr. Fu, it's time to go home."
"Um."
Fu Yibai closed his laptop, picked up his coat, and followed her to the elevator.
It was already dark when we returned to the villa in the capital.
The living room was well-heated. Yang Rong and Liu Yan sat on the sofa, with two bowls of steaming white fungus soup on the coffee table in front of them.
Fu Zhaoning was asleep in the crib, her little fists clenched around the corner of the blanket, and a glistening drool hung from the corner of her mouth.
Fu Jingchen lay on Liu Yan's lap, his big black eyes looking around. When he saw Fu Yibai enter, he waved his little hand at him haphazardly.
Why are you so late today?
Yang Rong pushed the white fungus soup towards him.
"I have some work to do."
Fu Yibai changed into slippers and walked over, sat down next to Liu Yan, and reached out to hug Fu Jingchen.
The little one squirmed a couple of times in his arms, found a comfortable position, and then calmed down, pressing his little face against his chest and letting out a small yawn.
"Is this kid being unusually well-behaved today?"
Liu Yan picked up the white fungus soup and took a sip, her tone carrying a weary, tormented quality.
He was exhausted from all the fuss.
He refused to sleep at noon and wouldn't drink his milk properly, keeping me up all afternoon. It was only when Rongrong held him that he calmed down.
"Jingchen prefers Rongrong." Fu Yibai looked down at his son.
"Yes, yes, I like you, and I like Rongrong, but I don't like me."
Liu Yan glared at him, annoyed.
Yang Rong laughed out loud and reached out to pat Jing Chen's little head.
After dinner, the group moved to the living room.
Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa looking at his phone. Fu Zhaoning woke up and was being breastfed by Yang Rong.
Fu Jingchen lay in the crib, holding Liu Yan's finger and shaking it back and forth, making babbling sounds.
January 1st, New Year's Day.
Chenxi held a year-end summary meeting all morning.
This year, Chenxi's total revenue also exceeded 40 billion yuan, with Xingmeng Digital Entertainment and Xingchen Technology contributing nearly half of the revenue.
After the meeting, Zhang Xinyu approached Fu Yibai with an invitation letter.
"Mr. Fu."
CCTV has sent an invitation to you to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. You can sit in the first row of the audience; you don't need to go on stage.
Fu Yibai pressed the elevator button.
"The Spring Festival Gala? I can't sit still for four and a half hours."
"They said that I don't need to go through the whole process, just stay on site for an hour."
The camera will give you a few close-ups, but the host won't call on you to speak.
"Okay, then reply to them. I'll be there."
"Yes."
Back in his office, Fu Yibai sat down and opened the system.
"System, settle accounts for 'The Woman Who Left,' 'Interstellar,' and 'Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City'..."
[Ding! The host requests settlement for the main submitted works "The Woman Who Left" and "Interstellar"...]
[System settlement in progress...]
Based on the works "Interstellar" and "The Woman Who Left"...
Current impact (assessed by a comprehensive evaluation of box office performance, viewership ratings, online streaming numbers, media reviews, social buzz, industry recognition, etc.)...
[Settlement complete! Host has gained 475000 Influence Points.]
Current total points: 1035000.
"It's already surpassed one million?"
Fu Yibai looked at his total influence points and was pleasantly surprised.
The reason we were able to accumulate over 400,000 influence points is thanks to the sheer number of projects the company released last year.
There are more than 30 movies, TV series, and web series combined.
Fu Yibai's two films alone contributed over 100,000 yuan.
"With so many influence points, I have absolutely no idea how to spend them."
Let's finish this main quest as soon as possible.
"If the system isn't upgraded, I'll have nowhere to spend my money."
Looking at his abundant influence points, Fu Yibai sighed with emotion.
The scriptwriting department at Dawn is now quite mature.
Furthermore, the number of high-quality works on Qidian is quite considerable, which can fully support Chenxi's film and television adaptation needs for the next few years.
He no longer needs to purchase scripts from the system.
Crazy Racer was released nationwide on January 5.
Ning Hao's dark comedy with a multi-narrative structure secured 24% of the screenings on its opening day and grossed 23 million yuan.
The following day, the price rebounded by 28 million, and on the third day, it dropped by 33 million.
On the fourth weekend, the box office exceeded 40 million.
It received an initial rating of 8.0 on Douban, with almost unanimous positive reviews.
"Ning Hao's multi-line narrative is becoming more and more mature, and the way the several lines are interwoven is even smoother than in 'Crazy Stone'."
"The Taiwanese gangster storyline was hilarious, it was high-energy throughout."
"Huang Bo's performance was amazing; he captured the down-and-out vibe of a retired cyclist perfectly."
After four days of release, Crazy Racer has grossed over 130 million yuan, with a final box office target of around 500 million yuan.
For a mid-budget comedy, this is a pretty good return.
The box office of "The Flowers of War," which has been in theaters for more than half a month, is now in its final stages.
The daily box office has dropped to around five million. Although it has broken through five hundred million, it is still some distance away from six hundred million.
As for reaching 700 million in box office revenue, that's now out of the question.
Although the box office of "The White Storm" has exceeded 600 million, it is starting to slow down.
Although "The White Storm" received far better reviews than "The Flowers of War," the audience for this genre is relatively small, and a box office of over 600 million is already quite an achievement.
