Filming continues in Chapter 313
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yibai sent a message to Li Mingde.
Tencent intends to lead the Series A funding round for Nebula Video, valuing the company at $2 billion.
Tomorrow you will meet with Tencent's investment team to begin due diligence and negotiations on the terms of the agreement.
Control cannot be relinquished; that's the bottom line.
Less than a minute after the message was sent, Li Mingde called.
"Mr. Fu! Is Tencent really going to invest?"
Li Mingde's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Yes. Mr. Ma made the call personally."
"Great! Tencent's resources and traffic are so important to us."
Especially since WeChat has just launched, if we can integrate with WeChat's content distribution channels, Nebula Video's user growth could accelerate by at least 20%.
"You can discuss the specific details of the cooperation with Tencent's team."
Remember, Tencent is a strategic shareholder, not a financial investor.
After they come in, the synergy between Nebula Video and Tencent's ecosystem needs to be maximized.
However, control cannot be lost at the same time.
This is the bottom line.
"I see."
Li Mingde took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.
"President Fu, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yibai stayed in the living room for a while before taking a shower.
Filming continued in Canada in the days that followed.

"I think we've lost our true selves, Donald."
We are explorers, pioneers, not guardians.
"When I was a child, it felt like the world was constantly full of new things..."
.....................
"In the past, we often looked up at the sky and imagined that we were in the stars."
Now we can only face the yellow earth, worrying about our fate in this land.
…………
On July 1st, Li Mingde called.
The final financing plan has been confirmed.
Tencent invested $3 million and allocated resources to acquire a 17% stake.
7月4日，《钢铁侠2》全球公映10天，累计票房突破7亿美元。
This phenomenal box office performance also made the preparation for "The Avengers" go much more smoothly.
While filled with regret, Marvel Studios dared not voice any further objections.
After seeing the box office success of "Iron Man 2", Paramount became even more confident in "The Avengers".
On July 8th, the scenes in Canada came to an end.
Inside the office, Cooper is arguing with two teachers about educational philosophies.
"Murphy is a good girl, she's smart, but she's gotten into a little trouble lately."
She took the book to show the other students.
It includes the chapter about the moon landing.
"Yes, this is my old textbook. She really likes the illustrations in it."
"This is the old version of the federal textbook."
The relevant content has been replaced with the revised version.
"Revised version?"
"It explains how the Apollo program was faked, leading to the collapse of the Soviet Union."
…………
"Card."
Fu Yibai put down the walkie-talkie.
"This one is approved."
Filming for all scenes in Canada has wrapped!
After three days of rest, we'll head to Iceland.
Thank you everyone!
Iceland, July 11.
When the plane landed at Keflavik International Airport, the sky outside the window was leaden gray, and the clouds were low, as if they might collapse at any moment.
Fu Yibai stepped down the gangway, a cold wind carrying fine rain rushed towards him. The average temperature in Iceland in July was only around ten degrees Celsius, a world apart from the scorching sun of Los Angeles.
Fan Binbin followed behind him, wrapping her windbreaker tighter around herself, her teeth chattering slightly.
"This godforsaken place, it's still so cold in July."
She zipped the zipper up all the way and buried half her face in the neckline.
The advance team of the production crew arrived a week ago and completed the final confirmation of the filming location.
The location scouting team traveled all over Iceland's glaciers last year and finally selected Máfabót Lagoon in southeastern Iceland as the filming location for Miller's Planet.
The area is a shallow depression sandwiched between the open sea and an inland river. The water level is only knee-deep, offering a wide view where the water meets the sky, perfectly matching the dramatic tidal scenes of the water planet in the movie.
Planet Mann was filmed at the Svínafellsjökull glacier in southeastern Iceland.
This glacier is part of the Vatnajökull ice sheet. Its surface features a landscape of gray and white cracks and moraines, desolate yet magnificent, which fits the cold and lonely frozen planet setting in the movie.
On the way from the airport to the hotel, the scenery outside the car window silenced everyone.
Fan Binbin leaned on Fu Yibai's shoulder, looked out the window at the desolate plains rushing past, and said softly.
"This place is so beautiful, it's almost unreal."
That's why I chose this place.
Do you think we can see the aurora borealis tonight?
"The aurora? That's not easy to come by."
Because Iceland is currently experiencing the midnight sun.
"How could this be..."
Fan Binbin looked out the window with some regret.
The hotel is the best in the area, but being the best only means it's clean and tidy.
The room wasn't big, but the heating was very strong. You could see the distant glacier when you opened the window, which glowed with a faint blue light in the twilight.
The film crew booked the entire hotel, and more than a hundred people checked in. The corridors were filled with equipment and costume boxes, and the production assistants pushed carts through them.
Fu Yibai's room was at the end of the corridor; it was a suite, with the outer room temporarily converted into a conference room.
He put down his luggage and immediately summoned the heads of various departments to confirm the filming schedule for the next few days.
