That afternoon, Fu Yibai received an email from Los Angeles.
In the email, Margaret confirmed the final date for the North American premiere of Interstellar: November 5th, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
The email attachment contained a detailed schedule for the premiere and arrangements for pre-premiere media promotion.
Starting in mid-October, Fu Yibai will need to participate in at least five talk shows, three magazine interviews, and one in-depth interview with The New York Times.
Fu Yibai forwarded the email to Zhang Xinyu, asking her to start arranging her October schedule.
On August 20, the world's first trailer for Interstellar was released simultaneously on YouTube and Nebula Video.
The trailer is two minutes and thirty seconds long, starting with Cooper driving through a cornfield and ending with a silent explosion at the edge of the black hole.
The last ten seconds consist of a series of rapidly changing space shots, accompanied by Hans Zimmer's iconic organ music.
Less than an hour after the trailer was released, it garnered over three million views on YouTube, and its Nebula Video views jumped to ten million.
The top comments section was filled with positive reviews, and some people started predicting whether the box office could surpass that of "Pacific Rim".
Several major Hollywood media outlets gave it headlines, calling it "the most anticipated sci-fi movie of the year."
Within half an hour of the trailer's release, the hashtag #InterstellarTrailer# dominated the trending topics on Weibo in China, and the topic garnered over 200 million views within two hours.
On August 28, Xingmeng Digital Entertainment's listing application was approved by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's ChiNext Issuance Review Committee.
The listing date is set for October 15th, with the stock code xxxxxxx.
The news was pushed out by major financial media outlets that afternoon, and securities firms set the valuation of Xingmeng Digital Entertainment at over 40 billion yuan, with Liu Yongqiang, as CEO, estimated to have a personal net worth of over 100 million yuan.
When the news reached Chenxi Building, Liu Yongqiang was on the sixteenth floor having a meeting with the anti-cheating team.
Wang Peng personally went downstairs and dragged him up to the 28th floor, where several senior executives, including Zhao Qi, Lin Wei, and Qi Yuan, were already waiting in the conference room.
Liu Yongqiang was unaware of what was happening when he was pushed into the conference room. It wasn't until Zhao Qi led the applause that he realized what was going on.
"Did the IPO review committee approve it?"
He took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, put them back on, took them off again, and wiped them once more.
"Passed."
Zhao Qi showed him the announcement page on her phone.
"The stock will be listed on October 15th, with the stock code xxxxxxx."
Liu Yongqiang stood there stunned for several seconds, then grinned.
There was no smugness in that smile, but rather a sense of peace that welled up from the bottom of his heart.
He joined Chenxi in 2005 and started with "Three Kingdoms Kill". He gradually built Xingmeng Digital Entertainment into one of the largest game companies in China, a journey that took five years.
Fu Yibai stood up from behind his desk, walked up to Liu Yongqiang, and patted him on the shoulder.
"After the IPO, you'll still be the CEO of Xingmeng Digital Entertainment. You'll manage the games, and Mr. Zhao will keep an eye on the capital matters for you."
Liu Yongqiang nodded vigorously, his eyes slightly red, but he did not lose his composure.
He put his glasses back on and bowed to everyone in the conference room.
Thank you everyone.
"Over the years, without Chenxi's platform, without President Fu's trust, and without the support of my brothers, Xingmeng Digital Entertainment wouldn't be where it is today."
"Stop being so mushy."
Zhao Qi interrupted him with a smile.
"We're having dinner together tonight, it's on you."
"I'll treat! It has to be me!"
That evening, Star Dream Digital Entertainment held a celebration banquet at the Kunlun Hotel.
The banquet was attended not only by the company's senior executives, but also by all employees of Star Dream Digital Entertainment.
Liu Yongqiang took a cup of sake and toasted everyone at each table, eventually getting so drunk that he leaned back in his chair and just grinned foolishly.
Fu Yibai sat at the main table, chatting with several executives about the plans for the second half of the year, occasionally picking up a piece of sashimi with his chopsticks.
As the banquet was about to end, Liu Yongqiang leaned close to him and whispered something.
"Mr. Fu, after the IPO, I would like to increase the investment in the overseas servers of 'PUBG'. The budget will be 100 million more than previously reported."
"Can."
Fu Yibai didn't ask any further questions.
"If you're in charge, then we'll delegate authority to you."
"As long as the project is good, money is not a problem."
Liu Yongqiang smiled, raised his glass, and toasted him again.
On September 1st, Liu Yifei returned from filming a drama.
"Brother Yibai, where are you?"
"At the company, what's wrong?"
"I've finished filming!"
Come to my house tonight!
I miss you~
"it is good."
That evening, Zhang Xinyu drove Fu Yibai to Liu Yifei's house.
"Come pick me up tomorrow morning."
The doorbell rang once, and the door opened.
Liu Yifei stood at the door, wearing a cream-colored home dress, her hair casually draped over her shoulders.
When she saw Fu Yibai, the corners of her mouth curved up. She reached out and grabbed his shirt collar, pulling him inside.
"I've been waiting for you for ages."
Her voice had a slightly coquettish tone at the end.
The door closed behind her, and she stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Fu Yibai's neck, and pressed her lips directly to his.
The kiss tasted of minty toothpaste, and her body was pressed against his chest. Through the thin pajamas, he could feel the softness of her body against him.
The two moved from the entryway to the living room. Liu Yifei's heel hit the sofa leg, and she fell backward into the sofa, pulling Fu Yibai down with her.
She lay on her back on the sofa, her hair spread out on the cushions, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
"I miss you."
"I miss you as well."
