Chapter 58 Mission Completed and Domestic Turmoil
As soon as Fu Yibai returned to the suite, a clear and pleasant notification sound rang in his mind:
[Ding! Detected that the host's work, "No Country for Old Men," has won the Golden Bear for Best Film at the 54th Berlin International Film Festival, achieving a milestone!]
[Main Quest "Laying the Foundation" Progress Significantly Advanced! Current Progress: 100%!]
[Mission complete! Rewards being distributed...]
[Congratulations, host, you have received the mission reward: [Physique - Abundant Energy]!]
[Effect Description: Permanently increases the host's basic physical strength, energy limit and recovery speed, significantly reduces fatigue accumulation, and optimizes sleep quality.]
The host will be able to cope with the demands of high-intensity work and life with greater energy.
(Note: This reward is a passive, permanent effect and takes effect immediately.)
A gentle yet profound heat surged from the depths of Fu Yibai's body, quickly flowing throughout his limbs and bones.
The deep fatigue brought on by days of travel, intense preparations, and the intense concentration required for the awards ceremony quickly dissipated, like ice and snow melting in the warm sun.
Instead, there is an indescribable feeling of ease and fullness, as if every cell in the body has been infused with new vitality, and the mind becomes clearer and sharper.
"finally……"
Fu Yibai closed his eyes, feeling the changes in his body, and finally a completely relaxed, heartfelt smile appeared on his lips.
This award is just as important to him as the Golden Bear itself.
With it, he can better support the ever-expanding blueprint of his entertainment empire and more easily deal with those around him who need his "care".
Just as he was marveling at the powerful effects of the mission rewards, the system's voice sounded again.
[Ding! Main quest "Expanding Territory" has been unlocked]
[Objective: Within five years, transform "Chenxi Media" from a successful production company into a comprehensive entertainment group covering film and television production, artist management, and distribution channels, and establish a leading advantage in at least one emerging content area (such as animation or web series).]

It significantly enhances cell activity and metabolic capacity, improving skin elasticity and radiance by 300%.
The immune system is comprehensively strengthened, increasing resistance to common diseases by 500%.
Maintain bone density and muscle strength at the golden level of age 25.
"Eternal youth! And such amazing abilities?"
However, after experiencing the effects of being full of energy, Fu Yibai had great faith in the system's abilities.
Looking at the 20% progress bar, he figured it wouldn't be long before the task was completed.
The Berlin night view came into view, with the cinemas still brightly lit in the distance, indicating that the celebrations were not yet completely over.
Just as Fu Yibai was preparing to rest.
My phone started vibrating incessantly; congratulatory messages from China were already bombarding me.
February 16, 2004, 5:00 AM, Beijing.
When the news of "No Country for Old Men" winning the Best Picture award reached China, the entire Chinese film industry felt as if a bomb had been dropped on them.
Berlin achieves another miracle! Fu Yibai's "No Country for Old Men" wins the Golden Bear!
Unprecedented! Li Xuejian, Sun Honglei, and Zhang Yi share the Berlin Film Festival's Best Actor award!
Two years, two Berlin Film Festival appearances: From Silver Bear to Golden Bear, Fu Yibai writes a new chapter in Chinese film history!
The entertainment headlines on major portal websites were all changed by midnight, with bright red and bold headlines assaulting the eyes of every industry professional who got up early and turned on their computer.
Although print media can only be printed and distributed during the daytime, the editorial office is already brightly lit, with the editor-in-chief personally overseeing the work, adjusting the layout, and issuing extra editions.
CCTV's movie channel specially adjusted its programming to broadcast the grand occasion of the Berlin Film Festival.
The channel spent a full eight minutes reporting the news, and the anchor's voice was filled with excitement.
"This marks the fifth time a Chinese filmmaker has won the highest honor in the main competition at the Berlin International Film Festival, and director Fu Yibai's achievement at the age of under thirty is truly historic."
A special announcement was broadcast on the campus radio of the Beijing Film Academy at 7:00 a.m.
"Warmest congratulations to Fu Yibai, a 2000 graduate of our Directing Department, for winning the Golden Bear for Best Film at the 54th Berlin International Film Festival for his film 'No Country for Old Men'!"
In the canteen, dormitories, and teaching buildings, all the teachers and students who heard the announcement stopped what they were doing.
"My God... a golden bear?"
"Brother Fu is amazing! He won the Silver Bear last year and the Gold Bear this year!"
"Three people sharing the Best Actor award... This is unprecedented in Berlin's history, isn't it?"
In the directing department's teaching and research office, several senior professors sat together, forgetting to even drink their tea.
"Old Zhang, your student... is truly remarkable," Professor Wang, with his graying hair, exclaimed.
Zhang Jiandong held the teacup, his hand trembling slightly, his face radiating undisguised pride.
"I've said it before, Yi Bai has a kind of spirit that's different from ordinary people."
"From the very first short film assignment he submitted when he enrolled in school, I could tell that this kid had something in his eyes."
"Winning major awards in Berlin for two consecutive years, not only do I win awards myself, but I also consistently promote actors successfully."
Another professor shook his head in admiration.
"Zeng Li won Best Actress last year, and this year she won Best Actor three times... This ability to create stars is unparalleled in the entire Chinese film industry."
On the campus BBS, related posts have gone viral.
[Title: Rational Discussion: Where does Fu Yibai rank among Chinese directors now?]
[Original Poster: Last year's Silver Bear, this year's Golden Bear, the combined box office of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" and "Caught in the Web" exceeded 100 million, producing one Berlin Film Festival Best Actress and three Berlin Film Festival Best Actor winners.]
With these results, who else in China can match them?
The number of comments instantly exceeded 100.
"Its artistic achievements are absolutely top-tier, and commercially, 'Caught in the Web' grossing over 100 million is no joke."
"The key question is, how old is he? Twenty-three? Twenty-four? This rate of increase is terrifying."
"The person upstairs is right. What are those fifth-generation directors doing at this age?"
"I heard that Chenxi Media is now valued at over 100 million yuan, which is the most terrifying thing."
He's not just a director, he's also a boss.
"It's said that the Beijing Film Academy is preparing to hire him as a visiting professor..."
"Really? Does that mean I can take his classes? Which department is he in?"
"Of course, it's the directing department!"
