Chapter 441 Martial Arts and Bullets
On Saturday, December 11, Fu Yibai did not go to the company.
The mornings in the villa district of the capital are so quiet that only the birdsong outside the window can be heard.
When he woke up, Yang Rong and Liu Yan were no longer in bed.
He put on his bathrobe and went downstairs, where the aroma of millet porridge wafted from the kitchen.
Yang Rong stood in front of the stove stirring the porridge in the pot, while Liu Yan sat at the dining table peeling boiled eggs. Both of them were wearing loose pajamas, and there was no sign of any change in their bellies, but their movements were filled with a sense of caution.
"morning."
Fu Yibai sat down at the dining table.
Liu Yan placed the peeled egg on the plate in front of him, and Yang Rong brought over a bowl of porridge.
"Not going to the company today?" Yang Rong asked.
"I'm not going. I'll stay with you."
In the morning, the three of them huddled together on the sofa in the living room.
Yang Rong leaned on Fu Yibai's left shoulder, and Liu Yan leaned on his right shoulder. A prenatal yoga instructional video was playing on the TV. The two women occasionally discussed which poses they could and couldn't do, and sometimes they would pick up their phones to chat with their friends in a group chat.
The messages in the harem group never stopped from the day they learned that Yang Rong and the others were pregnant.
Hu Jing and Qin Lan were filming on set, and the first thing they did every day after work was to ask Yang Rong and Liu Yan about their health in the group chat.
Zeng Li posted a long list of links to dietary restrictions during pregnancy, from crabs to barley to hawthorn, in more detail than a nutritionist.
Fan Binbin returned at 3 PM.
She was wearing a camel-colored cashmere coat and carrying two bags. She put the bags on the coffee table and opened them as soon as she came in.
One bag contained skincare products specifically for pregnant women, and the other bag contained two sets of silk maternity nightgowns.
I saw it while shopping and just bought it on a whim.
Fan Binbin took off his coat and draped it over the armrest of the sofa. He sat down next to Liu Yan and reached out to touch her stomach.
How are you feeling today?
"It's alright, but I felt a little nauseous in the morning," Liu Yan said.
"I was the same a couple of days ago, but I'm much better these past two days," Yang Rong replied.
Fu Yibai stood up from the sofa and went to the kitchen to cut fruit for the three women.
When he returned with the fruit platter, Fan Binbin was discussing the baby's name with Liu Yan, while Yang Rong was flipping through a pregnancy nutrition guide, occasionally interjecting a comment.
Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the living room warm and inviting.
He sat down on the armrest of the sofa, and Fan Binbin forked a piece of apple and held it to his mouth.
"Sister Binbin, when will your movie start filming?" Liu Yan asked.
"Early next month, in Qingdao."
Fan Binbin put down his fork.
"Filming will continue until March next year."
If there's a gap in the schedule, I'll fly back to see you all.
"Don't overwork yourself," Yang Rong said.
"It's not tiring. This is a modern drama, so there's no need for wire work or fighting. It's much easier than filming period dramas."
Fan Binbin smiled.
"And I need to save money for baby formula."
"You still need to save money for baby formula?" Liu Yan laughed and patted her on the shoulder.
Monday, June 13th.
After a surge in its first week of trading, the stock price of Chenxi Artist Management has entered a relatively stable period of fluctuation.
Fu Yibai returned to work at the company.
At 10 a.m., he had just sat down in his office when Qi Yuan knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Fu, the hospital acquisition agreement has been signed."
Qi Yuan placed a document on the table.
"The signing was done last Friday afternoon, and the property transfer and legal representative change procedures are expected to be completed by the end of the month."
Fu Yibai glanced at the document, then closed it and set it aside.
"How's the reduction of Huayi Brothers' shares in Lieyang going?"
"The first batch of three million shares has been sold through block trades at an average price of 44.8 yuan. The buyers are two mutual funds."
Qi Yuan turned a page in his notebook.
"The second batch of four million shares is currently going through the process and is expected to be completed next week."
At the current pace of share reduction, it would take approximately two months to sell all 20 million shares.
"Can.
The pace can be slowed down; don't alarm the market.
"clear."
Qi Yuan closed his notebook, stood up, and left the office.
After Qi Yuan left, Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.
On December 16, "Kung Fu Jungle" was released in China, and its box office reached 12 million yuan on its opening day. It is the only Hong Kong action film this year to have a box office of more than 3750 million yuan on its opening day.
With the decline of Hong Kong action films, the media jokingly referred to "Kung Fu Jungle" as the last glimmer of Hong Kong action films.
Wang Baoqiang's role as Feng Yuxiu changed his comedic image, which he had built up from "Lost in Thailand" to "Running Man".
The industry has also begun to re-evaluate this actor who came from humble beginnings.
On the same day, "Let the Bullets Fly" was also released in China.
"Let the Bullets Fly" truly lives up to its reputation as Jiang Wen's transformative work, which he polished over three years.
On its opening day, the film swept across cinemas nationwide with astonishing momentum. Jiang Wen's unique narrative style and dense dialogue left audiences thoroughly entertained, and the box office revenue on the first day even exceeded 40 million yuan.
Media outlets and film critics have been comparing the two films, which were released on the same day and have very different styles. For a time, the question of which film, "Wu Jungle" or "Let the Bullets Fly," is better became a hot topic of discussion online.
