Chapter 344: Pacific Rim Premiere
Fan Binbin pulled her hand out of Fu Yibai's arm and gently patted him.
"I'm going to touch up my makeup."
Fu Yibai watched her walk away, and just as he turned around, Cai Yinong walked over with a glass of champagne.
Liu Shishi was with her.
Today, Liu Shishi wore a light blue strapless long dress with the hem reaching her ankles and a very tight waistline.
Her hair was styled in an updo, revealing her slender neck and a pair of pearl earrings.
Her makeup was very light, with nude pink lipstick on her lips, making her look aloof and reserved.
She took Cai Yinong's arm, her gaze quickly sweeping across Fu Yibai's face before swiftly looking away, a faint blush rising at the base of her ears.
"Congratulations, Director Fu."
Cai Yinong raised her glass, her smile radiant.
"President Cai."
Fu Yibai clinked glasses with her.
"Shishi kept saying she wanted to see this movie, so I brought her here."
You won't mind, will you?
Liu Shishi was pushed to the front, facing Fu Yibai, less than half a meter away.
She looked up, met his gaze, and her lips moved.
"Hello, Director Fu."
"Hello.
I was in a rush when I left Shanghai last time, so we didn't have much time to chat.
Liu Shishi's face turned red instantly.
She lowered her head, the blush spreading from her ears to her neck.
"That day... thank you for your guidance, Director Fu."
Cai Yinong chimed in from the side, her tone tinged with laughter.
"If Director Fu likes it, please give my Shishi more opportunities."
"She's got such great potential, Director Fu should give her some guidance, she's sure to become famous."
"Yes, definitely, definitely."
Cai Yinong left with Liu Shishi.
Wang Changtian and Li Ming walked over, each holding a wine glass.
Wang Changtian's Fiber Optic Media is also a top-tier film and television company in China, while Li Ming's Little Horse Galloping has been gaining momentum in recent years. Last year, it received a substantial amount of financing and is actively expanding.
"Mr. Wang, how are the preparations for your company's IPO going?"
Wang Changtian adjusted his glasses.
"Still in line."
With Huayi's listing, the review threshold for A-shares has been raised again.
We can only submit our application materials the year after next at the earliest.
He paused, then his tone became serious.
"Director Fu, I've come to see you today because there's something I want to ask you."
I just heard from Mr. Cai that Sugarman has secured an investment share in one of Chenxi's projects for next year.
"right.
Mr. Cai offered pre-IPO shares of Sugarman as a form of exchange, demonstrating his strong sincerity.
Wang Changtian and Li Ming exchanged a glance.
I won't ask too many questions about the specifics of the collaboration.
Just one question: Does Dawn have any projects available for external investment over the next two years?
Fu Yibai picked up his champagne glass and took a sip.
"What does Mr. Wang mean?"
"Light wants to be deeply connected with the dawn."
After Huayi's listing, Enlight Media's story in the capital market also needs substantial projects to support it.
If Mr. Cai can offer original shares, so can Enlight Media.
The terms are negotiable.
Li Ming nodded in agreement.
"The same meaning applies to 'Little Horse Galloping'."
Our financial reserves are quite sufficient; what we lack are opportunities to participate in top-tier projects.
Fu Yibai remained silent for a few seconds before placing the wine glass on the table beside him.
"Chenxi has several IPs that are ready to be adapted."
However, these IPs have a high priority within Dawn, and the threshold for external investment is not low.
"Fiber optic cables can be sold at a premium."
"A pony is fine too."
"..."
Seeing the two's insistence, Fu Yibai pondered for a moment.
"Well then, filming for 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' is about to begin."
If either of you is interested, Chenxi can give up a portion of its share.
We're all friends. There's no need for a premium; let's just go with the normal project valuation.
Of course, this only applies to the first part.
For future installments, if either of you wants to invest again, the price will need to be renegotiated at that time.
"Mr. Fu, you're very generous."
Wang Changtian and Li Ming both smiled and quickly raised their glasses to toast Fu Yibai.
"If you ever need fiber optic cable in the future, Mr. Fu, please feel free to ask."
"That's right, the same goes for Xiao Ma. If you need anything from Xiao Ma, Mr. Fu, please don't hesitate to ask."
"You're too kind, both of you."
The three clinked glasses again.
At this moment, Yang Zi strode into the hall, arm in arm with Huang Shengyi.
Yang Zi was wearing a white suit with the top two buttons of his shirt undone, revealing a thick gold chain around his neck.
His attire seemed somewhat out of place on this occasion.
Huang Shengyi wore a red strapless short dress and a pair of rhinestone-encrusted high heels, with exquisite makeup.
She linked arms with Yang Zi, her smile impeccable, her gaze sweeping across the hall with an air of haughty scrutiny.
Yang Zi stood in the center of the hall, glanced around, locked onto Fu Yibai's position, and walked over.
He took long strides, his steps carrying an undisguised confidence.
"Director Fu! I've heard so much about you!"
He stretched out his hand, his voice loud and clear, and several people talking nearby turned their heads at the same time.
"Mr. Yang."
Fu Yibai shook hands with him.
Yang Zi gripped the hand firmly, holding it for a good three or four seconds before letting go.
He took a half step back, put one hand into his suit pocket, and gestured in the air with the other hand.
"Director Fu, your setup is really impressive."
I glanced at it from the doorway; that mecha model alone must have cost a fortune.
"You flatter me, Mr. Yang."
Basic marketing and promotion costs are nothing.
"Director Fu is being modest."
Yang Zi patted Huang Shengyi's hand.
"Sheng Yi kept saying she wanted to see your movie, so I brought her here."
She is also an actress, with formal training and solid acting skills.
"If there's an opportunity in the future, please take care of me."
Huang Shengyi bowed slightly, a polite smile on her face.
"Hello, Director Fu."
I've seen all of your movies.
"Thanks."
