Chapter 567 Project Launch Meeting for "Sito"
When Zhang Liangying woke up, the digital clock by her bed showed 6:10 a.m.
She turned over and found that the bed next to her was empty.
A slight noise came from outside the bedroom: the sizzling sound of eggs being fried in oil and the clanging of a spatula against a wok.
She lay on the bed for two minutes, listening to the subtle yet real sounds coming from the kitchen, then buried her face in the pillow that Fu Yibai had slept on and took a deep breath.
She put on a bathrobe, stepped barefoot onto the floor, and pushed open the bedroom door.
In the open kitchen, Fu Yibai stood with his back to her in front of the stove, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and gray sweatpants, slicing an egg out of the frying pan.
Two glasses of hot milk and a plate of cut fruit were already set on the table.
"woke up?"
He didn't turn around, but he could already hear her footsteps.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Zhang Liangying walked behind him, wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, and pressed her cheek against his shoulder blade.
I woke up hungry.
Go wash up, it'll be ready to eat soon.
Zhang Liangying tiptoed and kissed him on the back of the neck before turning and walking into the bathroom.
When I came out after washing up, there were two more plates of fried egg sandwiches on the table.
The bread was toasted until slightly browned, and the edges of the egg yolk were crispy while the center remained soft and runny.
The two finished their breakfast quietly. Zhang Liangying cleared the dishes, while Fu Yibai sat on the sofa looking at messages on his phone.
"Let's pack up and go to the company."
"Um."
Zhang Liangying drove Fu Yibai to Chenxi.
Before getting off the elevator, Zhang Liangying asked, "Are you coming to my place again tonight?"
"We'll see. If there's nothing else, then we'll go."
"Um."
Zhang Liangying got off the elevator on the seventh floor.
Fu Yibai took the elevator to the 28th floor.
10:00 AM, Conference Room on the 28th Floor of Chenxi Building.
Project proposal meeting for "Sito".
Director Fu Yibai, producer Wang Peng, and one person in charge from each of the art department and costume department came.
Jing Tian didn't come; she was still in Australia filming "Divas Hit the Road." Fu Yibai didn't ask her to fly back specifically for the project approval meeting.
Wang Peng opened the documents in front of him.
"The filming period is estimated to be three months, with the main filming locations set in Dali and Shangri-La, Yunnan."
Preliminary preparations began in mid-November, and filming is scheduled to start in early March next year.
"In terms of styling, how many qipaos does Si Teng have in total?" Fu Yibai asked.
The head of the styling team is a woman in her forties surnamed Qin, known in the industry as Sister Qin.
She pushed a thick styling design manual to Fu Yibai.
Thirty-two sets.
It encompasses a variety of styles from the Republic of China era to the modern era, with fabrics mainly consisting of silk and brocade, and colors ranging from light to dark, including off-white, moon white, emerald green, dark green, and deep purple.
The patterns on each cheongsam are hand-painted, and seven sample garments have already been completed.
Fu Yibai opened the design manual.
Each page features detailed design drawings, along with fabric samples and color schemes.
He paused for a moment when he flipped to a set of dark green cheongsam design drawings. The cheongsam featured a modified stand-up collar design, and the cuffs and hem were embroidered with vine patterns in silver thread. It retained the classical charm of the Republic of China cheongsam while incorporating modified elements that conform to modern aesthetics.
"This outfit is nice. It should suit Jing Tian very well."
"We have obtained Ms. Jing's body measurements."
Her bone structure is very suitable for wearing cheongsams; her shoulder width and waist-to-hip ratio are within the standard range.
All thirty-two cheongsams were custom-made, with each one undergoing minor adjustments based on her actual fit.
"What about the scene design from the art department?"
Fu Yibai closed the design manual.
The art team leader projected the scene concept art onto the screen.
The inn where Shito Tsuyoshi lived when he was resurrected, the old house from the Republican era, and the villa in the modern city—each concept art is marked with the reference location and construction plan.
The meeting lasted for an hour.
After the project approval process was completed, Fu Yibai signed the project approval documents, and Wang Peng officially announced that the "Si Teng" project had entered the preliminary preparation stage.
At 6 p.m., Fu Yibai and Zhao Qi held a brief financial meeting in the office.
Zhao Qi compiled a list of several large expenditures that needed approval in October and reported them one by one.
The budget included the launch event budget for Xingchen Technology's Nebula X4, equipment procurement costs for Xingmeng Digital Entertainment's mobile game development department, preliminary preparation funds for "Si Teng", and project start-up funds for Happy Twist's "Goodbye Mr. Loser".
Fu Yibai reviewed each item one by one and signed his name on the last signature page.
"Mr. Fu, there's one more thing."
Zhao Qi put the signed document into his briefcase.
"Tencent called this morning to ask if you have any thoughts on the commercialization direction of WeChat."
They said WeChat's user base has surpassed 400 million and they wanted to have a strategic-level discussion.
Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment.
His memory of WeChat's commercialization path is clear: Official Accounts, WeChat Pay, and Mini Programs. These three steps constitute the core framework for WeChat's transformation from a social tool into a commercial ecosystem.
"Okay, I understand."
I will go there in a few days to speak with Mr. Ma in person.
