Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

"In the past year, we had a movie called 'Love O2O,' which led to a surge in registrations for the game 'Dream Journey to the Jianghu' after it aired."

This is a small example of content ecosystem collaboration.

This year, the TV series and game of "Zhu Xian" will be launched simultaneously, and the second web series and mobile game of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will also be linked.

The success of these projects proves one thing: within the Dawn system, the commercial value of good content can be maximized.

When he finished speaking, another round of applause rang out from the audience.

Deng Chao led the applause from the artists' area, clapping very loudly.

Finally, I'd like to say a few words on a different topic.

Fu Yibai placed his hands on either side of the podium, his tone more casual than before.

"It took Morning Light almost ten years to grow from a small production company with only a dozen or so people to where it is today."

The success of Chenxi today is due to the hard work of everyone who works here.

Those post-production editors who stayed up all night in the editing room watching the sunrise, adjusting the footage frame by frame; those production assistants whose skin peeled from the sun on set; those artists who repeatedly scrapped and restarted the design of a game character; those engineers who fine-tuned chip parameters hundreds of times in the lab.

"It is you who have made Chenxi what it is today."

"Let's move forward together in 2013."

He nodded, and the audience fell silent for a moment before bursting into applause.

Fu Yibai handed the microphone back to Zhao Qi, walked off the stage, and returned to the main table.

At 7:00 PM sharp, Zhao Qi stood on the stage and announced, "The annual banquet officially begins."

The music started again, the stage lights changed color, and a South Korean girl group wearing silver miniskirts ran up from the side stage. The intro to the music exploded, and the opening dance officially began.

The waiters below the stage began to serve the first dish.

Fu Yibai had just picked up a bite of steamed sea bass from the main table when the first group of people arrived to offer toasts.

Liu Yongqiang from Xingmeng Digital Entertainment was the first to stand up, holding a wine glass.

"President Fu, Xingmeng Digital Entertainment's achievement of 40 billion yuan this year is entirely due to your strategic planning back then."

I'll finish this one; please help yourself.

He tilted his head back and finished drinking, and Fu Yibai also took a sip.

Liu Siyuan then stood up, followed by Li Mingde, Li Mo, Qi Yuan…

After the first round of toasts at the main table ended, the second round of toasts began.

The second wave of toasts came from middle management and core technical staff of various subsidiaries.

These people don't usually have many opportunities to interact directly with Fu Yibai. Most of them were a little nervous when they walked to the main table with their wine glasses. Some stuttered when they spoke, and some recited their toasts twice before finally saying only, "Thank you, President Fu."

Fu Yibai clinked glasses with everyone and said "Thank you for your hard work" to each of them.

The third wave consisted of people from talent agencies.

Deng Chao pulled Sun Li over with him. Sun Li held a glass of juice, while Deng Chao held a glass of baijiu. Deng Chao delivered the toast by himself.

Sun Li smiled with her lips pursed, and only spoke after Deng Chao finished speaking, saying, "Director Fu, thank you for taking care of Brother Chao all this time."

The Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang families came together.

Huang Bo, holding his wine glass, said, "Director Fu, I'd like to toast you. I won't say anything more; it's all in the wine," and then downed it in one gulp.

Wang Baoqiang wasn't good at saying polite things; it was all Lin Rui from his family who did the talking.

When Huang Xiaoming brought Yang Tianbao over, Fu Yibai's gaze lingered on Yang Tianbao's face for a moment.

He never expected that, after all the twists and turns, Yang Tianbao would still end up hooking up with Huang Xiaoming.

It's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse for the cult leader.

Huang Xiaoming expressed his gratitude, mainly thanking Chenxi for the high-quality resources they had provided over the years.

Yang Tianbao also said "Thank you, Director Fu" in a sweet voice, with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

Next up was Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin. Fu Yibai asked them with a smile when they planned to get married, making them both blush.

Zhang Ruoyun glanced at Tang Yixin secretly, then smiled and said that they would get married once Tangtang was ready.

Tang Yixin's face turned even redder.

After the two left, Bai Yu and Yang Xue came over hand in hand to offer a toast.

Although Fu Yibai didn't know when the two got together, he still offered his blessings.

Both of them are low-key and honest.

Aside from filming, he spends his days honing his acting skills. He doesn't have any hype or scandals, making him the kind of artist who is easy to manage.

Yang Xue, in particular, is one of the artists who has been with the company the longest, but she has never had any ambiguous relationship with Fu Yibai.

She's a very nice woman.

Their down-to-earth personalities make them a good match.

After several rounds, Fu Yibai had drunk quite a bit.

He's never had a bad tolerance for alcohol, but tonight there were just too many people toasting him, and he was mixing baijiu and red wine, so his stomach started to feel a little hot.

He greeted Zhao Qi, then got up and headed towards the restroom.

The corridor outside the multi-purpose hall was much quieter than the hall itself, and the air was a few degrees colder.

He pushed open the door to the men's restroom, which was empty except for the ceiling exhaust fan humming.

After using the restroom, he stood in front of the sink and washed his hands.

The reflection in the mirror showed signs of alcohol on my face.

He had just turned off the tap when the bathroom door behind him was pushed open.

The sound of high heels on the tiled floor was very soft, but it was exceptionally clear in this bathroom where only the exhaust fan hummed.

Fu Yibai saw the person who came in through the mirror.

Yang Tianbao locked the bathroom door behind him.

The latch clicked into the lock slot, sounding like a muffled thunderclap in the quiet bathroom.

"you--"

Fu Yibai turned around and had just uttered a single word when Yang Tianbao strode up to him and threw herself into his arms.

The strong scent of her perfume instantly enveloped him, mingling with the smell of alcohol on her breath and his own.

"I miss you so much."

Yang Tianbao's voice was low, somewhat hoarse, urgent, and heavy.

Her hand slid down his collar, her fingers trembling, but not from nervousness; it was driven by some instinct that had been forcibly suppressed for a long time.

Her fingers found his belt buckle precisely, the clanging of metal particularly jarring in the confined space.

Fu Yibai reached out and pressed down on her wrist.

"Aren't you with Huang Xiaoming now?"

Yang Tianbao paused for a moment, then looked up at him, her eyes slightly red, but the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile.

"He and I are just ordinary friends."

After she finished speaking, she forcefully broke free from his wrist and squatted down.

The long black dress spread out on the tiled floor like a flower that had suddenly bloomed.

Before Fu Yibai could say another word, she had already begun to taste the food.

Her kissing skills had improved even more than before; the coordination between her tongue and lips was skillful and precise, with an almost ingratiating effort.

Fu Yibai tilted his head back, rested his lower back against the edge of the sink, and closed his eyes.
