Chapter 414 The Belated Settlement
"What time is it?"
Li Yitong asked sullenly.
Fu Yibai reached for his phone on the bedside table, turned on the screen, and glanced at it.
It's almost nine o'clock.
"Nine o'clock?!"
Li Yitong suddenly sprang up from his arms, the movement so large that it pulled on a sore spot, and she hissed as she fell back onto the bed, her face scrunched up.
"I have a posture class this morning..."
"It's cancelled."
Fu Yibai pulled her back into his arms.
"In your current condition, you wouldn't be able to train even if you went."
Li Yitong bit her lip, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but the soreness and weakness throughout her body made her lack confidence.
She tried to lift her leg, and the muscles on the inside of her thigh immediately protested with a soreness, forcing her to admit that Fu Yibai was right.
"I'll have Xinyu call your posture teacher."
"……good."
She gave up struggling and buried her face back in the pillow.
Fu Yibai got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After Fu Yibai finished showering and changed into clean clothes, Li Yitong was still wrapped in the blanket.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to tuck the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear.
"You should rest well today. I'll leave Xinyu here to take care of you."
"Um."
At 11 a.m., Fu Yibai drove back to the company.
After sitting down in the office, Fu Yibai opened the system.
"System, process payments for 'Pacific Rim,' 'Lost in Thailand,' and 'Cold War'..."
[Ding! The host requests settlement for the main sponsored works "Pacific Rim" and "Lost in Thailand"...]
[System settlement in progress...]
[Based on the current influence of works such as "Pacific Rim" and "Lost in Thailand"... (a comprehensive assessment based on box office performance, viewership ratings, online streaming numbers, media reviews, social buzz, industry recognition, etc.)...]
[Settlement complete! Host has gained 383000 Influence Points.]
Current total points: 578000.
"Three hundred and eighty thousand? That many?"
Fu Yibai carefully examined the detailed settlement data.
Of these 380,000 influence points, over 100,000 came from movies such as "Pacific Rim" and "Lost in Thailand".
The remaining two hundred thousand or so came from Nebula Video's self-produced dramas and Dawn's TV series last year.
Fu Yibai never expected that Nebula Video's self-produced dramas would bring him so much influence, which shows how well Nebula Video is developing.
"Exchange scripts for 'Yu Zui', 'The Empress of China', 'Our Parents' Love', 'Nirvana in Fire', 'The White Storm', 'Painted Skin 2', 'Lucy', and 'The Witch 2'."
[Ding! Exchange successful, consuming 16000 Influence Points.]
[Remaining Influence Points: 562000]
"Mr. Wang, come to my office."
"Yes."
"Mr. Fu, you wanted to see me?"
"sit."
Fu Yibai put down his teacup and tapped the stack of scripts lightly with his fingers.
"Take these notebooks back and review them, then make the necessary arrangements."
Wang Peng sat down opposite him and grabbed the stack of scripts with both hands.
"When Yu Zui was adapted into a web series, the lead roles were chosen from among several newcomers."
"The Empress of China and Love Story of Parents will be handled by Zheng Xiaolong."
He has a solid foundation in filming period dramas and historical dramas, so these two scripts are perfect for him.
Tell him to prioritize the two projects himself.
"For 'Nirvana in Fire,' you should find a director and select a few actors with solid acting skills."
The role of Mei Changsu is entrusted to Zhu Yilong. He should prepare well and consult with his teachers.
Wang Peng nodded.
"The White Storm and The Witch 2 have been linked with Eagle King to make a co-production."
"The White Storm" was given to Shen Ao, and "The Witch 2" was given to Lu Yang to direct."
"You should find a suitable director for 'Painted Skin 2'."
This project has a foundation in previous works, and the requirements for special effects and art direction are quite high, so we need to find someone with experience in fantasy themes.
You can screen the candidates yourself, and let me know if you find anyone suitable.
"Yes."
Fu Yibai picked up the last script of "Lucy" and flipped through two pages.
"I'll register for 'Lucy' first, and film it when I have time."
The film "Lucy" didn't have a high production cost, and it's somewhat beneath Fu Yibai's current status to make such a film.
But this movie focuses more on women and isn't too difficult to film, so he can make it for fun and relax.
"clear."
Wang Peng organized all the scripts, tucked them under his arm, and stood up.
"Mr. Fu, do you need me to create a schedule for the timelines of these projects?"
"Need not.
You should arrange the director and casting first, and coordinate the start date with Mr. Zhao.
The number of projects in Chenxi this second half of the year is quite high, so please avoid crowding together.
"Yes."
Wang Peng turned and walked out.
As he reached the door, Fu Yibai called out to him again.
"By the way, I'll reserve the lead role in 'The Empress of China' for myself."
Other roles are open for public auditions.
"clear."
Wang Peng pushed open the door and went out.
After Wang Peng left, Fu Yibai took out his phone and sent a message in the family group chat.
Fu Yibai: Who's interested in the female lead for the TV series "The Empress of China" and the movie "Lucy"? Both shows are quite good at promoting actors.
