Lin Wanqing clenched her fists. Although several months had passed, she was still furious when she heard Liu Zhengqi's name.
"Hmph, that Liu Zhengqi, all I did was refuse his demands for unspoken rules, and he maliciously smeared me, blacklisted me in the film and television industry, and shattered my film and television dreams."
Li Yi gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "Let bygones be bygones. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have met. Perhaps this is fate! Don't worry, he will have to repay the debt he owes tenfold!"
Lin Wanqing: "If I have the chance, I will definitely take my revenge! A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years, but a woman can take her revenge even in a lifetime!"
Li Yi: "If you want revenge, I think the opportunity has come."
Lin Wanqing asked, "What opportunity?"
Li Yi: "It's said that Liu Zhengqi's team invested over a billion yuan in 'The Heavenly Gate Blade,' making it a top-tier martial arts blockbuster in China in recent years, and it's set to be released in just three days. If our Star Shine Cinemas doesn't schedule screenings for it, do you think they'll be worried?"
Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's right. Xinghui Cinemas has a 20% market share nationwide. If we don't screen 'Tianmen Long Blade,' they might not even be able to break even. However, there is another possibility."
Li Yi: "Hmm, what's possible?"
Lin Wanqing: "Won't it be that all the audience who want to see 'Tianmen Long Blade' will go to other cinemas? Wouldn't that mean our Xinghui Cinema would suffer a huge loss?"
We lost a lot of money?
Li Yicai isn't afraid of losses!
Li Yi: "So what if I lose money? I just want to see you feel better! It's settled then, 'Tianmen Long Blade' will not be shown at Xinghui Cinema."
Lin Wanqing was deeply moved.
Unexpectedly, Li Yi was so decisive. He was willing to lose money for his own sake.
"Okay. Thank you, Li Yi!"
Tears welled up in Lin Wanqing's eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Li Yi pulled Lin Wanqing into his arms.
Lin Wanqing hugged Li Yi tightly, burying her head in the chest of this man who was even smaller than her, feeling so secure!
After a long while, the two parted ways.
Lin Wanqing said, "By the way, I have an idea, I wonder if I can get your support."
Li Yi: "Oh, go ahead."
Lin Wanqing said, "If we don't screen 'Tianmen Long Blade,' we'll definitely have a lot of empty screenings, which is a waste. I'm thinking, could we screen some classic films that have already been taken off the screens?"
Li Yi: "Oh? Sure. Which classic films would you like to screen?"
Lin Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "Many can be screened, such as the Harry Potter series and the Star Wars series. However..."
Li Yi: "But what?"
Lin Wanqing: "But I don't know if this will work? Because no other movie theater has done this before."
Li Yi smiled slightly and encouraged her after his analysis: "Wanqing, innovation often means walking on paths that no one else has walked before. Since other cinemas haven't done this before, let's be the pioneers. Classic films have a huge fan base; they don't lose their charm with the passage of time, but rather become more precious with the accumulation of time. Screening these classic films will not only fill the gaps in our screenings caused by not showing 'Tianmen Long Blade,' but also attract audiences who miss the old days and yearn to relive the classics."
Furthermore, Li Yi continued, "In this information-saturated age, people often crave novelty, but their deep-seated yearning for classics and nostalgia cannot be ignored. What we're doing perfectly caters to the psychological needs of this segment of the audience. As for copyright issues, don't worry, we can coordinate and resolve them. As long as it's a good film, I believe the copyright holders will be happy to see it meet the audience again in a new way."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing was very excited and said, "Really?! In this way, we can not only get revenge on Liu Zhengqi, but also open up a new path for Xinghui Cinema. This is fantastic!"
Li Yi gently pinched Lin Wanqing's nose and said affectionately, "We'll do whatever you want as long as you're happy."
Lin Wanqing held Li Yi's hand tightly, her gratitude overflowing: "Li Yi, with you here, I feel there's nothing we can't do."
Li Yi: "Perhaps after our classic films are shown, some of the audience who originally wanted to see 'Tianmen Long Sword' will be drawn away, further reducing their box office revenue."
Lin Wanqing said, "I hope so."
In reality, although Li Yi said that, who knows if it will actually happen?
It's just a movie. If this theater won't show it, people will just go to another theater to watch it.
However, Lin Wanqing couldn't make up her mind unless Li Yi said so.
Li Yi was just waiting for Lin Wanqing to lose money so he could continue using the "Goddess Strategy Gold" to save the day.
In the morning, Li Yi and Lin Wanqing stayed in the house.
They didn't go out for lunch either. Lin Wanqing cooked a delicious lunch for Li Yi herself. The flavor was spicy, just like Li Yi's. There was crispy fried pork, fragrant Mapo tofu, and tender boiled fish. The highlight was that there was even a soul dish, houttuynia cordata.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Li Yi felt a warm current well up in his heart, and at the same time, he was also a little emotional.
Once upon a time, he was a down-on-his-luck young man who worked day and night delivering food to buy his girlfriend a birthday present.
Now, there's no need to travel around anymore, and even beautiful women and former movie stars are willing to cook for them personally.
Life is unpredictable!
"Wanqing, these dishes look so appetizing," Li Yi exclaimed sincerely.
Lin Wanqing smiled, took off her apron, sat opposite Li Yi, and said gently, "I'm glad you like it. I'll cook for you often in the future."
The two ate and chatted, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
Lin Wanqing said, "By the way, we need to hurry up and make arrangements to not screen Liu Zhengqi's 'Tianmen Long Saber,' as it's scheduled to premiere in three days, and pre-sales have already started. How about you come with me to the company this afternoon so you can announce this decision?"
Li Yi said, "It's not appropriate for me to go. You are the president of Xinghui Cinema now. As for the specifics, you can just call a meeting with the department heads and assign the tasks."
"Huh??? I'm a little nervous if you don't go. Besides, you bought this company, so you're the actual controller." Lin Wanqing had never made such a big decision before and was a little worried.
“I don’t want to be the actual controller. Since the company has been given to you, it’s yours.” After saying that, Li Yi added, “Wanqing, don’t worry. Don’t worry, I’ll cover for you if anything happens!”
Li Yi spoke with great confidence, which immediately boosted Lin Wanqing's spirits. She said, "Great! With your support, I'm not afraid of anything."
After saying that, Li Yi continued to deceive her.
Lin Wanqing immediately began making arrangements, notifying the company's senior executives and middle-level managers that an emergency meeting would be held at 2:30 pm.
In the afternoon, the two went to the headquarters of Star Shine Cinema together, but Li Yi did not immediately enter the office building of Star Shine Cinema headquarters.
