CHAPTER 1845: CHAPTER 966: WORLD CUP EXPEDITION CEREMONY

Seeing the reputation and popularity of his Feiyue Animation Studio’s "NeZha the Devil Child" gradually rise, Ding Yue felt quite gratified.

Indeed.

The old saying goes, good wine needs no bush.

Even though the Penguin Group used certain means, and the cinema side adjusted the screening rates by significantly increasing the screenings for "League of Legends: The First War" while halving those for "NeZha the Devil Child," "NeZha the Devil Child" still managed to grow gradually based on high quality and audience word-of-mouth.

With audiences spontaneously promoting "NeZha the Devil Child" to other netizens, Ding Yue could foresee the box office trend for "NeZha the Devil Child" improving more and more in the future.

However, whether it can eventually surpass "League of Legends: The First War" is not very certain.

After all, "League of Legends: The First War" has already raked in over two billion yuan at the box office, and at this rate, it will easily surpass the three billion yuan box office mark by the next weekend.

Domestically, only a few films have crossed the three billion yuan mark, usually only those that are major hits can surpass three billion yuan.

"Principal Ding."

On this day, while Ding Yue was "working" in his principal’s office, he was still keeping an eye on the box office trends and reputation of "League of Legends: The First War" and "NeZha the Devil Child."

Suddenly, Secretary Wen Ruohan called out to Ding Yue.

"Hmm?"

Ding Yue looked up at Secretary Wen Ruohan and asked, "What’s up?"

"Principal Ding, today is the day of the national team’s send-off ceremony for the World Cup, we should head over there." Wen Ruohan reminded Principal Ding.

As Principal Ding’s personal secretary, Wen Ruohan had organized all of Principal Ding’s schedules and kept a close watch on each one, reminding him when it was time for them.

"Oh? It’s today?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue suddenly realized, "Oh right, right, it’s time to head for the World Cup, the tournament will officially start in a while."

The summer vacation has arrived.

The much-anticipated America-Canada-Mexico World Cup of this summer is naturally about to commence, and before that, the national team surely has to set off to America, Canada, and Mexico to participate in the World Cup.

The send-off ceremony is therefore very important.

"Then Principal Ding, shall we go now? The team just informed me that they’re all ready."

Wen Ruohan asked.

"Alright."

Ding Yue nodded slightly, then stood up and called Big White, "Big White, let’s go together."

Generally, as long as he is within the campus of Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue would take his AI robot Big White along when going out. It’s convenient, and with Secretary Wen Ruohan by his side, Ding Yue basically didn’t have to do anything himself.

So it went.

Ding Yue, with Secretary Wen Ruohan and AI robot Big White, left the principal’s office in the Administration Building together, and then arrived at the Central Sports Ground.

The entire team of the Feiyue Football Club, including players, coaching staff, and logistics team, had gathered here.

There was no training today.

Today, everyone was ready to set sail from Mist City, heading to Mexico. According to the schedule of the America-Canada-Mexico World Cup, the national team’s first group stage match would be held at a stadium in Mexico.

This America-Canada-Mexico World Cup is jointly hosted by the three North American countries of Maple Country, America, and Mexico, hence the name America-Canada-Mexico World Cup.

"Principal Ding, you’re here, everybody’s ready."

At the Central Sports Ground, Li Jianwei, the person in charge of the team, hurriedly greeted Principal Ding.

This Li Jianwei is the second person in charge of the Feiyue Football Club. After the previous one left due to some matters, Li Jianwei took over and has done a decent job in various aspects of the team.

However, as a person in charge, Li Jianwei can only handle some club affairs; any major decisions still require Principal Ding to make the final call.

Actually, Li Jianwei’s role is similar to that of An Yujia, just someone who gets things done, without the authority to make significant decisions for the club.

"Have we got all our club’s preparatory support ready?"

Upon meeting the team leader Li Jianwei, Ding Yue asked.

"Yes, Principal Ding, we’ve coordinated very well with Director Huang from the logistics department and set up a special team for the aftercare and preparation support."

Li Jianwei promptly responded.

The Feiyue Football Club has prepared its own logistics support team as a backup, because this time, Feiyue Football Club is going to the America-Canada-Mexico World Cup, representing the national team. Therefore, in terms of logistics and coaching staff, it is utilizing resources from the General Administration of Sports and the football association.

In fact, most of the original coaching staff of Feiyue Football Club remains, with some additional coaches arranged by the General Administration of Sports and the football association to assist.

Ultimately, everyone shares the same goal: to have the national team perform well in the America-Canada-Mexico World Cup and strive for a good result.

Even if the national team is eliminated in the group stage of this America-Canada-Mexico World Cup, it doesn’t matter. Being able to participate in the World Cup is already its greatest victory.
