Chapter 536 "Lucy" Released
When Fu Yibai pushed open the villa door, Zhang Xinyu was sitting on the sofa, holding the sleeping Jing Chen in her arms. The little guy was holding her index finger, and his breathing was steady and long.
Hearing the door open, Zhang Xinyu looked up.
"Mr. Fu, you're back."
Jing Chen just fell asleep.
"Thanks a lot."
Fu Yibai walked over and gently took his son from her arms.
Jing Chen frowned in his sleep, nuzzled his face against his chest, and sensed something was wrong, so he frowned even more.
Zhang Xinyu stretched her stiff arms and picked up the tablet computer from the coffee table.
"This is the itinerary for the roadshow."
There's a showing at Wanda Cinema in Beijing at 10:00 AM, at Bona Cinema at 2:00 PM, and another showing at Xinghe Cinema at 4:00 PM.
Flying to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, followed by Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
"Okay, you should go upstairs and rest early."
Fu Yibai carried Jingchen upstairs and put him in the crib.
The little one rolled over, buried his face in the blanket, and stuck his little bottom up high.
He gently closed the door and returned to the hallway, where he heard the sound of high heels on the floor from the stairwell.
Liu Yifei stood at the corner of the stairs.
"Is Jingchen asleep?"
"Going to sleep."
"That……"
Liu Yifei took a step forward, placed her fingers on his chest, and gently traced the buttons on his shirt with her fingertips.
"Tonight you are mine."
Fu Yibai reached out and put his arm around her waist, leading her into the master bedroom.
The moment the door closed behind her, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to tiptoe and kiss her.
The next morning at seven o'clock, when Fu Yibai was woken up by Zhang Xinyu, Liu Yifei was curled up in his arms, her long hair spread out on his chest.
He gently moved her aside, got up, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When I came out, Liu Yifei was already awake and was rubbing her eyes while leaning against the headboard.
"What time is it?"
"7:30."
"We're leaving at nine o'clock, you still have time to put on makeup."
Liu Yifei stretched, and the strap of her nightgown slipped off her shoulder.
She got out of bed, walked barefoot to Fu Yibai, kissed him on the chin, and then turned and went into the bathroom.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xinyu's black Mercedes-Benz van stopped in front of the villa on time.
When Fu Yibai and Liu Yifei got into the car, Wang Peng was already sitting in the passenger seat.
He handed a roadshow schedule to the back row.
"Mr. Fu, three shows in Beijing, two shows in Shanghai, two shows in Guangzhou, and one show in Shenzhen."
Eight cities, ten roadshows.
"Is the timing okay for you, Miss Liu?"
"No problem, I've already asked Director Li for leave."
The first stop, the meet-and-greet at Wanda Cinema, is scheduled for 10:00 AM.
The screening room was packed with viewers.
When Liu Yifei entered the theater, the entire audience gasped in unison, only to be drowned out by applause.
The host handed her the microphone.
"Thank you everyone for watching 'Lucy'."
The role of Lucy was a completely new experience for me, and it was also a sign of trust that Director Fu placed in me.
I hope I haven't let that trust down.
A female fan in the audience stood up, holding up a banner, and her voice was so shrill it was almost splitting.
"Sissi, you acted so well!"
The two roadshows at Bona Cinema and Xinghe Cinema in the afternoon were also sold out.
On the way back to the villa, Liu Yifei leaned on Fu Yibai's shoulder, closed her eyes and didn't say anything.
"Tired?"
"fine."
Her hand groped around on the seat and grasped Fu Yibai's fingers.
"Flying to Shanghai tomorrow, get some rest early tonight."
"Um."
Inside the villa, Liu Yan was sitting on the living room sofa reading a picture book to Jing Chen.
The little one sat on her lap, patting the dinosaur in the picture book with his little hands, making "roaring" sounds.
Li Dabai was curled up on the sofa on the other side, scrolling through his phone, while Nazha sat cross-legged on the carpet peeling an apple.
Upon hearing the door open, Jing Chen was the first to turn around.
"dad!"
Fu Yibai changed into slippers and went over to lift his son off Liu Yan's lap.
Jingchen nestled on his shoulder, patting his back with his little hands, and continued to whimper.
"He's been like this ever since he saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the picture book today."
Liu Yan smiled and shook her head.
After changing her clothes, Liu Yifei came downstairs and sat next to Fu Yibai, teasing Jing Chen.
"What time is your flight tomorrow?"
Five o'clock in the morning.
"Then hurry up and go rest."
Liu Yan took her son from Fu Yibai's arms and urged the two of them to go upstairs to rest.
Fu Yibai stood up and looked at Li Dabai and Gulinazha.
"Do you two want to come?"
The two girls looked at Liu Yifei and shook their heads knowingly.
"No, you should stay with Sisi tonight."
Li Dabai waved his hand.
"Alright then."
Fu Yibai led Liu Yifei upstairs.
The following day, Fu Yibai and his team arrived in Shanghai to begin their roadshow.
Meanwhile, the opening day box office figures for "Lucy" have also been released.
The film grossed 72 million RMB in China on its opening day. Combined with box office revenue from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, "Lucy" grossed over 150 million RMB on its opening day.
The following week, Fu Yibai and his team conducted roadshows in several key ticket-producing cities.
