Chapter 173 Starlight Ceremony
After checking on the game development team's situation, Fu Yibai went to the animation team's office area.
"Li Mo, how's the production of 'Boonie Bears' going?"
"Boonie Bears" was the first animated IP that Fu Yibai thought of after registering Xingmeng Digital Entertainment.
For this reason, he specifically asked Qi Yuan to recruit the four screenwriters of Magic Pill, Li Mo, Ji Xingjia, Yu Zhen, and Liu Kuangchi, to the company.
They formed an animation production team with the four of them as the core.
The animation team was still passionately discussing the plot when Fu Yibai's voice rang out, and they all stopped what they were doing.
Li Mo awkwardly got off the table, then pretended to be calm and reported to the director: "We have produced 54 episodes so far, and we expect to complete all 60 episodes of the first season by the end of the year."
"Oh? You're quite fast."
show me."
Li Mo immediately moved aside from the computer.
After watching two episodes, Fu Yibai nodded in satisfaction.
"That's right, that's the style."
Okay, I won't bother you anymore, let's continue the discussion.
After saying that, Fu Yibai turned and left.
After Fu Yibai left, the animation team burst into laughter.
Fu Yibai left Xingmeng Digital Entertainment and came to Xingyun Video.
The number of users on Nebula Video has stopped expanding and has remained at around fifty.
Nebula Video hasn't made any major breakthroughs. Under Li Mingde's leadership, Nebula Video has firmly maintained its position as the market leader.
However, the gap between them and LeEco, which ranked second, did not widen significantly.
This is also why Li Mingde wanted Chenxi to produce some exclusive web dramas for Nebula Video.
After chatting with Li Mingde for a while, Fu Yibai went upstairs and arrived at Lieyang Investment.
Lieyang Investment has not made many moves this year, but Qi Yuan, following Fu Yibai's instructions, has invested in a no-name mobile phone manufacturing company.
The next step is to completely acquire this company.
That evening, Fu Yibai did not return to the villa, but instead had Liu Yan take him to Qin Lan's house.
On December 1st, Zhao Qi found Fu Yibai with an invitation letter.
"Mr. Fu, this is an invitation from Tencent."
"An invitation? For what?"
"Tencent is hosting its first Starlight Awards and would like to invite you to the awards ceremony."
Zhao Qi handed over the invitation.
Fu Yibai took the invitation and opened it to take a look.
"December 15th? Tianqiao Theater?"
After thinking about it, he finally decided to go and show his support.
After all, he still holds shares in Tencent, so Tencent is practically one of his own.
"Okay, I'll reply to Tencent, I'll go."
"Yes."
On December 7, "Lost in Thailand" was released nationwide.
On December 8th, the box office figures for the first day were released – 15.3 million.
Ning Hao, who was leading his team on a roadshow, was so excited when he received the news that he almost fainted.
Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo, who were standing nearby, were equally excited.
In the following days, the crew of "Lost in Thailand" went on a non-stop roadshow to promote the film across the country.
As word-of-mouth spread, the film's box office showed an astonishing reverse trend, breaking through 1800 million on the second day and approaching 2000 million on the third day.
On social media, the topic of "Lost in..." continues to gain momentum, with many viewers being moved by the down-to-earth humor and heartwarming moments in the film, and spontaneously becoming its advocates.
On December 14th, Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower" was released.
The box office momentum of "Lost in Thailand" was interrupted, and the daily box office dropped back to 1780 million.
On December 15th, the Starlight Awards Ceremony was held at the Tianqiao Theater in Beijing.
Fu Yibai and all the company's available artists attended to show their support.
"Mr. Fu!"
When Tencent's Ma saw Fu Yibai enter, he immediately stood up to greet him warmly.
This scene puzzled many film and television company owners and artists present.
After all, they had never heard of any connection between Tencent and Dawn.
Many film and television company owners were also present, but they did not receive the same treatment as Fu Yibai.
Mr. Ma personally led him to the VIP seats reserved in the front row. The two talked in hushed tones, their expressions relaxed, just like old friends.
This led many industry insiders present to speculate about the connection between the young boss and Tencent.
The Star Awards ceremony was fast-paced, with awards being announced one by one.
Fan Binbin won the Most Popular Actress in Mainland China.
Your Name won the Most Popular Film award.
"My Love from the Star" won the Most Popular Drama Award.
After the awards ceremony, there will be an event dinner.
Fu Yibai was pulled aside by Tencent and they discussed Tencent's future development in a low voice.
At the same time, Tencent's Ma also reached an agreement with Fu Yibai that Nebula Video and Xingmeng Digital Entertainment will connect with Tencent in the future.
QQ accounts can be used to log in to all products of Nebula Video and Xingmeng Digital Entertainment, enabling resource sharing and deep integration.
After discussing the general framework, Tencent's Ma raised his glass and smiled, "I will have my team connect with Chenxi as soon as possible regarding the specific details of the cooperation. Mr. Fu, this cooperation will definitely be a win-win situation."
Fu Yibai nodded in response. After the two clinked glasses, he was surrounded by several film and television company executives, and they exchanged many industry updates during the conversation.
"Mr. Fu."
Just as Fu Yibai was about to sit down and rest for a while, a bright female voice rang out behind him.
"It's Xiao Ou."
Wang Ou, dressed in a champagne-colored long dress, walked gracefully by, looking exceptionally radiant and captivating under the lights.
She held a wine glass, her smile radiant.
"I saw you and Mr. Ma chatting so amiably that I didn't dare to come over and disturb you."
What have you been busy with lately?
"I haven't been caring enough about you guys, have I?"
Fu Yibai smiled and clinked glasses with her, his gaze gentle.
"I just finished filming an urban romance drama."
"I see."
You are indeed very suited to the image of a sophisticated urban woman.
"Mr. Fu, do you have time tonight?"
I have a few scripts I'm having trouble deciding on. Could you take a look at them for me?
Wang Ou leaned slightly forward, her voice soft and tinged with anticipation.
Fu Yibai glanced at the woman without making a sound.
"Okay, let's go now."
