Thanks to the ground advertising promotion on the M platform in the early stage, coupled with the large number of fans of the original book, "Flying Over the Solar System" had a good box office in the first few days, and even slightly surpassed "The Sundial".
But a few days later, the box office rankings began to reverse, with "The Sundial" starting to overtake "Flying Over the Solar System".
The gap, which was initially visible to the naked eye, gradually widened as the number of moviegoers increased.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the movie, which was made for under a million yuan, and whose box office had already exceeded one hundred million yuan and was still rising. Her heart couldn't help but start pounding. No way, could it be that such a huge amount of money could be made by such a twist of fate?!
She stopped complaining about Zhang Fan, the company's "king of money." He wasn't a "king of money" at all! He was clearly her lucky charm!
Zhang Fan is on vacation these days. At first, his family didn't understand why he quit his government job to become a screenwriter at an unknown small company.
However, as Feiyang Entertainment gradually gained prominence in the industry, Zhang Fan's parents would secretly keep an eye on it and become increasingly proud of their son.
This time, he even paid for his relatives to see the science fiction movie. When everyone praised the movie, they casually remarked that Zhang Fan still had room for improvement.
"What does our conversation about movies have to do with Zhang Fan?"
"Oh, I thought you knew. This movie is adapted from my son's science fiction novel, and he's also a screenwriter for Flying Entertainment. Flying Entertainment is the film company that recently gave him permanent inheritance rights..."
As Zhang Fan listened to his parents talk about Feiyang Entertainment, a blush crept across his face. But upon closer listening, it became clear that his parents were genuinely interested in his company and even knew which projects he was in charge of.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and the knot between him and his parents after quitting his job seemed to have been untied.
Before the holiday ended, Zhang Fan took his parents to the "Ten Thousand Yuan Households" industrial park. His parents had even more fun than he did, going up and down mountains and rivers, herding cattle and catching chickens. They seemed to have gotten much better in terms of their legs and feet.
When Lin Xiaoxiao returned from her holiday, she seemed a bit resentful.
She'd barely adjusted to her vacation when she had to go back to work! This lousy job, she just couldn't handle it!
"Mr. Lin, there's a game planner in our department..."
Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and signed it immediately, glancing at it at most, not wanting to look at it any longer.
"Mr. Lin, NEX Company called to say they want to buy the copyright to the Island Survival Park."
No way?! Is this variety show that didn't make money finally going to start turning a profit?!
Secretary Zhao continued, "This variety show is extremely popular overseas, and NEX wants to extend the contract to release it simultaneously in other countries."
Lin Xiaoxiao could only sigh inwardly, "Foreigners really do have different tastes than Chinese people, but making money is always a good thing."
On the other hand, the M platform, which had just returned from its holiday, was in a state of disarray. No one in the office dared to utter a sound. The film department and public relations department had been working overtime throughout the holiday. There were too many negative reviews online, and the author himself had closed the comment section due to the criticism from book fans.
Their painstakingly produced sci-fi film on the M platform turned into a money laundering scheme, something none of them wanted to see.
However, Xiao He's reprimand and the impending layoffs still left these employees angry but dared not speak out. Not to mention that the former leader, Jiang Yun, had withdrawn funds from the M platform, and the new Xiao He had also mobilized a large amount of funds, resulting in a direct reduction in year-end bonuses. In addition, the M platform's "Recruitment Conference" brought in many people with connections, causing the work environment and atmosphere to deteriorate sharply. There was more work to do, and the money was reduced.
Some people on the M platform have already started preparing their resumes to switch jobs; they're all just doing menial tasks, so it doesn't matter where they are.
If Lin Xiaoxiao knew that the M platform had already collapsed internally, she would probably be very happy.
At the beginning of the year, she thought about how many employees were growing on the island and how quickly the land reclamation was progressing. Since Old Master Lin had given her the real estate, why not use the money from the Lin Group to build a family dormitory for the employees of Feiyang Entertainment?
He schemes to plunder the pockets of those he dislikes and build houses for his own people—a master planner.
Unexpectedly, when the engineering team went to the island to conduct a survey, they discovered that there were many underground tunnels connecting all directions beneath the three islands of Penglai.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the report in her hand, somewhat confused. Penglai Island originally had tunnels, but the authorities filled them in later. However, the smaller Penglai Three Islands were left unfilled because of their small size and the fact that the residents had been moved to the main Penglai Island.
Lin Xiaoxiao had a headache, because filling in the tunnel was not cheap at all. It seemed that the only option was to choose a place on the main island of Penglai to build the family housing.
"President Lin."
When Lin Xiaoxiao returned from her vacation, she found that whenever she heard someone call her name, she would involuntarily tremble and want to hide.
Secretary Zhao was puzzled. "This year's policy encourages marriage and childbirth, or popularizing science and fraud. The official TV station hopes that Feiyang Entertainment can produce some works to set an example."
Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat numb. No, a single work can boost marriage and birth rates? CCTV, don't you want to look at what you're saying? Don't you want to see if you're exaggerating Feiyang Entertainment's capabilities?!
Instead of creating artwork, wouldn't it be better to just give out money?
Secretary Zhao noticed that President Lin seemed a little flustered. "President Lin."
Lin Xiaoxiao replied helplessly, "I understand. Is there any requirement from headquarters?"
"The station only said one thing: if the publicity is for a TV series or movie, they hope it will have a happy ending. Everything else is up to you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Xiaoxiao really wanted to smash the thermos in anger, but then she thought about what the thermos had done wrong, so she sighed. Life is tough, even a cat sighs.
Does this family really need the cat to go out and work?! Why can't humans solve their own problems?!
