China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 952 Liu Tianxian's Rival
Starry Sky, Sun Yi's private office.

The specially blended lavender fragrance that Liu Tianxian brought back from France was wafting gently, mingling lazily with the cool air from the central air conditioning. Outside the huge panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, the Mediterranean sunshine was gone, replaced by the bright blue sky of early summer in Beijing and the steel and concrete of the metropolis.

Less than two days after returning from Cannes, Sun Yi quickly got back to work.

There was no other way; the Starry Sky System was growing larger and larger, and although he was a hands-off manager, he couldn't just ignore the company for more than half a month at a time.

Now that I'm back, I need to take a look at all the reports and progress updates.

Yang Fan was aware of his habit, and upon learning that he had come to the company today, he immediately sent over the summary report of the company's various progresses in May, and reported several important matters to him in person.

If Liu Yifei hadn't been in Sun Yi's office, he might still be here.

It wasn't that he felt company matters needed to be kept secret from Liu Yifei, the boss's wife; it was just that they were married now, a legally recognized couple, and who knew what might happen if they liked the office romance.

He can't be the third wheel!

Therefore, report quickly, keep everything brief and to the point, highlight the key points, and leave immediately after you've finished.

After Yang Fan left, Sun Yi picked up the May company operations summary report that Yang Fan had given him and gently flipped through it.

At the other end of the desk, Liu Yifei nestled in the handcrafted Italian sofa she had specially chosen for Sun Yi, its soft, cloud-like texture, and comfortably began to read the script.

Since getting married, she has increasingly enjoyed spending time in the office with Sun Yi. As long as she doesn't have anything else to do, such as commercial performances or plans with her best friends, she will basically follow Sun Yi whenever he goes to the company.

It's not that she doesn't trust Sun Yi, nor does she necessarily want to help him with anything. She knows her own abilities are limited, and at most she can only try to learn more. But how should I put it? She simply really likes this feeling.

Just very nice.

Watching Sun Yi work, busy as he was, she would occasionally help him by making him a cup of coffee or giving him a simple massage. These small acts of participation made her feel incredibly happy.

There was a wonderful sense of satisfaction, completely different from when the two of them were cozying up at home together. It was a different feeling altogether—relaxed, content, and with a touch of the thrill of a change of scenery, which fascinated her just as much.

Of course, she would absolutely not agree to any unreasonable demands made by Sun Yi here.

It's the company, and it's broad daylight, what kind of behavior is this?

At most, let him hug you!
A kiss would be fine too!

Everything else is absolutely prohibited!

Now, taking advantage of Yang Fan's absence, she has completely relaxed, taken off her high heels, and gently placed her ten toes, painted with light pink nail polish, on the edge of the sofa. Her slender legs are curled up, and she spreads the script on her knees.

Inside, there are dense English letters, and from the side, the cover is printed with the eye-catching name "LUCY".

Before long, she was engrossed in reading, her fingertips unconsciously twirling the edge of the script. The afternoon sunlight streamed through the large French windows, dancing on her lowered eyelashes and refracting a row of tiny golden spots.

In Nuoda's office, the soft rustling of papers turning became the dominant melody.

Sun Yi's mind was still on the report. When he saw that the final box office of Happy Twist's project "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was 11.3 billion yuan, his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

In his estimation, given the film's box office success and positive reviews, which surpassed 8 million yuan in the first two weeks of its release, this total box office figure seems somewhat inaccurate.

However, after he finished reading the analysis, he realized what was happening and gave a knowing, bitter smile.

I forgot about Marvel's Iron Man 3.

The report included a small note: "Iron Man 3 made a strong debut on May 13, while Charlotte's daily screening share plummeted by 18%, and subsequent growth was weak."

Sun Yi tapped the number "11.3 billion" twice with his fingertips, feeling a surge of emotion.

Marvel's strength is still formidable. The entire Hollywood, and even the whole world, is swept up in an unprecedented superhero craze. Let alone Happy Twist's "Charlotte," even if Happy Twist itself were to choose a high-quality film, it wouldn't dare say it could completely overpower Marvel.

There's no way around it, Marvel is just too dominant at this time of year.

Fortunately, there are China Film Group and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in China, which provide some protection and prevented "Iron Man 3" from being given the best release date. Otherwise, it would have swept up all the theaters in China.

That would be incredibly embarrassing. Currently, Sun Yi holds the domestic box office record for several years in a row, a fact that moviegoers love to talk about. Initially, Sun Yi was quite nonchalant, thinking it was just an empty title and didn't really matter.

But once a person stays at a certain height for too long, they really don't want to come down.

It's said that the higher you climb, the colder it gets, but those who stand at the top never tell you that the view from there is just as good.

Sun Yi is now at this level, and he absolutely doesn't want to go any further, whether it's voluntary or involuntary.

There's nothing I can do; I'm just an ordinary person who can't see through the allure of fame and fortune.

But that's okay. Starting from the summer movie season in July, Starry Sky's projects for the year have been coming one after another. First up is "Dearest," which is scheduled for release in July. The promotional schedule has already been released and it will be implemented soon.

Then there's "The Coffin in the Mountain," which is mostly finished in post-production and is currently applying for approval and a release date. The State Administration of Radio and Television always treats projects with a "reliable attitude," giving them a smooth approval process. It will most likely be released around National Day.

Next up is Lu Yang's "Brotherhood of Blades 2," which is estimated to be nearing completion. Post-production on "Superman" is also progressing well, and it will likely be released in time for the year-end holiday season.

If Sister Yu's "When a Man Falls in Love" is filmed quickly enough, it might even snag a spot during next year's Spring Festival and Valentine's Day season, ensuring that Starry Sky Entertainment has no shortage of films throughout the year.

Seeing this, Sun Yi felt relieved. He looked up at Liu Yifei, who was still engrossed in reading the script, her beautiful eyes fixed on it, gently biting her lip, looking adorable.

Sun Yi quietly stood up, walked around the desk, and crept up behind her. He leaned down and, before Liu Yifei could react, teased her softly, "Is this script really that good? It's making my actress so engrossed?"

"Of course!"

As soon as the script was mentioned, Liu Yifei perked up immediately and excitedly turned around, wanting to share with Sun Yi the cool concept of the scientist protagonist being able to control electromagnetic waves, perceive everything, and even travel through time after his brain was developed. However, she moved too quickly and her nose bumped solidly into Sun Yi's chin.

"Ouch!" she cried out, covering her nose, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Haha, this isn't my fault! I didn't even move!"

Sun Yi laughed and quickly tried to absolve himself of responsibility.

"Ugh... ugh... it's all your fault!" Liu Yifei was still covering her nose, her voice trembling as she said in a tearful tone, "Who told you to hide behind me!"

"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me, it was my fault." Sun Yi looked at Liu Yifei's pained and embarrassed appearance, feeling both amused and sorry for her, so he quickly rubbed her sore spot.

After a while, seeing that Liu Yifei's expression gradually returned to normal, Sun Yi finally spoke, teasingly asking with a smile, "Still thinking about the superwoman who can control electromagnetic waves?"

Liu Yifei glared at him, annoyed. "Thinking about it!"

“Haha.” Sun Yi chuckled, turned around and walked around the sofa, sitting down next to Liu Yifei. Ignoring her feet that were directly placed on his, he continued, “It’s no use just thinking about it. I can’t guarantee that I can get this role from Luc Besson.”

"Huh??!!" Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you mean him?"

“It was indeed him who invited him, that’s true.” Sun Yi nodded. “But then again, at his level, do you think his scripts would lack actors?”

"To put it bluntly, they just value my influence in China and Starry Sky's production capabilities. Cough cough. Of course, my actress's talent and looks are beyond question."

"Humph!"

Liu Yifei pouted slightly and let out a dissatisfying snort.

It's just that you reacted quickly; otherwise, you might have had to endure a major ordeal.

Sun Yi chuckled, then gradually suppressed his smile. "As far as I know, besides you, my wife, this old man also has another actress he likes: a top Hollywood actress."

"Who?"

Liu Yifei stared wide-eyed and asked with a curious expression.

Scarlett Johansson.
