Chapter 127, "Inception," is released.
Tang Yan poured the water quickly, and when she returned with the cup, she saw Fu Yibai holding a script.
"What is this?"
She placed her water glass on the coffee table, sat down next to him, and naturally leaned closer, her gaze falling on the script.
"My Love from the Star".
Fu Yibai handed her the script.
Tang Yan took it; these words were printed on the cover.
She turned to the first page and quickly skimmed through the synopsis.
After reading a few pages, she looked up.
"This female lead... is quite interesting."
"Um."
Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa, turning his head to look at her.
"This is the company's key project this year, which I will personally direct. Filming is expected to begin in August or September, and the show will air next year."
You'll play the female lead.
Tang Yan was stunned. She sat there, still clutching the script in her hand.
"What...what did you say?"
"You'll play the female lead."
Fu Yibai raised his hand and tucked the stray hairs behind her ear.
"The character is likable, and the acting skills required are not high, but it is enough to attract fans."
After filming this, your status should rise.
Tang Yan stared at him, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she found that her throat felt like it was blocked by something.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Yibai raised his hand and brushed his thumb across the corner of her eye.
Tang Yan shook her head, buried her face in his chest, and said in a muffled voice.
"It's nothing...it's just..."
She paused, then took a deep breath.
"I just feel like I'm really lucky."
Fu Yibai didn't speak, but gently stroked her back with his palm.
Tang Yan raised her head, her eyes still red, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Yi Bai, thank you."
After she finished speaking, she kissed Fu Yibai without waiting for his response.
The kiss carried long-suppressed emotions, passionate and lingering.
The script slipped from her hands and fell to the floor with a soft thud.
Fu Yibai put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
Tang Yan's hand climbed onto his shoulder and began to unbutton his shirt. Her fingers were still a little clumsy, but she was more skilled than the first time.
Her shirt came off, and her loungewear slipped to the floor.
The two tangled on the sofa and then moved to the carpet. The night outside the window grew darker, and the rerun of "Empresses in the Palace" on TV continued, the volume turned down to a low whisper in the background.
As night deepened, the noise in the living room gradually subsided.
Tang Yan curled up in Fu Yibai's arms, and the two of them nestled on the carpet, neither of them moving.
After a long while, Tang Yan raised her head and looked at him.
I love you so much.
Fu Yibai didn't reply, but simply pulled the woman closer to his arms.
Early June, Beijing.
The domestic promotion for "Inception" has officially begun.
China Film Group and Chenxi Media have joined forces to launch a massive online and offline campaign.
The trailer was released on major portal websites and received over a million views within 24 hours.
Leonardo DiCaprio's name already has considerable appeal in China, and with the added tags of "Hollywood A-list production," "directed by Fu Yibai," and "starring Fan Binbin," the buzz is off the charts.
Fu Yibai took Fan Binbin to several cities for promotional activities and gave interviews to several media outlets.
The global premiere of "Inception" is scheduled for late June in Los Angeles.
Fu Yibai took Fan Binbin to the United States, where they walked the red carpet, gave interviews, and appeared under the spotlight alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
The premiere was a great success, and the entire audience stood up and applauded when the screening ended.
Film critics' reviews are coming out one after another, and they are mostly positive.
"The most imaginative science fiction film since The Matrix"
"Another genius director who has mastered high-concept design since Nolan"
"Leonardo delivered one of the best performances in recent years."
Domestic media translated and reprinted these comments, generating another wave of buzz.
Fu Yibai returned to China in early July.
Inception is set to release in China on July 15, and pre-sales have already begun.
Galaxy Cinemas allocated 65% of the screenings, and China Film Group also allocated more than 50%. Seeing this momentum, other cinema chains followed suit.
Inception was released in China on July 15.
The film grossed 1870 million yuan on its opening day, breaking the record just set by "Love is Not Blind".
2020 million on the second day, and 2150 million on the third day.
When the data for the first three days came out, the entire industry fell silent.
A total of 6040 million in three days.
This is only within China.
Data from other global markets is gradually emerging.
In its first week, North America saw $5500 million, the UK $1800 million, Germany $1000 million, and France $1200 million…
Two weeks later, the global box office surpassed $400 million.
The domestic box office also reached 220 million.
Fan Binbin's name began to appear in international media reports.
When Leonardo DiCaprio was asked about his impression of the director in an interview, he laughed and said, "Fu is a genius and very good at making friends."
When pressed by the reporter about what he meant by "making friends," he blinked and offered no further explanation.
In late July, the popularity of "Inception" remained high, and its global box office continued to climb.
The domestic discussion has extended from the film itself to the actors and director.
Fan Binbin's popularity has reached a new level.
Fu Yibai's name has become synonymous with "international director" due to the success of "Inception".
