Chapter 309: Retreat Again

"What's the problem? Say it!" Yang Huan shouted loudly.

This shout made everyone present raise their heads and look at him.

Only then did they realize that despite all the analysis, Master Huan still looked very confident.

Still so confident of winning!

Deng Huatao seemed to feel the confidence and strength in Yang Huan's words and took a deep breath.

"We just received a notice from Fangyuan Group, the second largest cinema chain in China. They have made it clear that they will not show our film and the cooperation agreement reached previously is invalid!"

This will undoubtedly add insult to injury for the movie which has not yet been released.

"Fangyuan Group is also in the real estate business. Their cinema chain accounts for 10% of the national box office, second only to the cinema chain controlled by our Yang Group. If they don't show our movies, they will definitely show Hollywood blockbusters. This will inevitably have a huge impact on us!"

"Fangyuan Group?" Yang Huan had never heard of this name.

"I asked their person in charge, but they told me that it was an instruction from their superiors, but they refused to say more specifically."

Deng Huatao was also helpless about this.

After all, the cinemas belong to other people. They have the final say on whether to release the film or not, and you can’t do anything about it.

Besides, Miracle Entertainment is not a large film company now, so what right do you have to challenge them?

Yang Huan lay back at an angle, one hand constantly looking at the table.

The trembling sound seemed to be knocking on every person in the dead silent conference room.

Is it possible that the first movie invested by the film company will die in the womb?

Yang Huan also couldn't understand why Fangyuan Group wanted to cancel the cooperation for no reason.

Seeing that Yang Huan closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something, everyone in the meeting room dared not breathe.

"Young Master Huan!" Deng Huatao looked at Yang Huan cautiously.

"How about we change the schedule?"

"Yes, Master Huan, just change the schedule!"

"I think it's feasible to change the release date. By the Lunar New Year period, we can at least make back the cost!"

"Yes, our investment is small, so we won't lose money if we make any money during the Lunar New Year holiday."

"Master Huan, please think about it!"

But as soon as they spoke, Yang Huan's right hand, which was originally looking at the table, opened and slammed the table hard with a bang.

The whole person stood up suddenly.

This action immediately shocked everyone in the conference room.

What is Master Huan going to do?

"The schedule will definitely not be changed!" Yang Huan said in a resolute voice.

Everyone present looked at each other, and everyone had a lot to say.

Now is not the time to be willful.

I know that you, Master Huan, are rich, but we are talking about investing in a movie now. You can't be willful, you have to follow the rules!

Otherwise, if you invest in one, you will lose money, and if you invest in two, you will lose both. It's not worth it!

But no one dared to say these words.

"I know that Hollywood blockbusters are very fierce. In the past few years, they have almost swept our Chinese film market."

Everyone present nodded. Master Huan was a smart man, so it was good enough that he knew it!

"I also know that many domestic films are afraid of colliding with the release schedule of Hollywood blockbusters. When others schedule a release, they try their best to avoid it. If others make changes, they also follow suit. They have no moral integrity and no dignity!"

After Yang Huan's scolding, many people present lowered their heads.

What does it mean to do things according to the rules?

That's a nicer way of putting it.

The unpleasant thing is that they are afraid of Hollywood's commercial blockbusters, dare not compete head-on, and have no confidence in their own movies!

"I just want to ask you one question: Did you put your heart into this film?"

Yang Huan looked at Deng Huatao and pointed his finger, "You, Deng Huatao, tell me!"

Deng Huatao stood up and nodded heavily, "I swear, I put 100% of my heart into it. Not only me, but all the actors and all the staff behind the scenes, we all put all our strength and energy into it."

This is the first movie he is determined to make on the big screen. How can it work without being careful?

"That's fine!" Yang Huan was very satisfied.

If Deng Huatao didn't dare to answer, he might consider giving up.

What kind of crappy movie is it if you don’t even put your heart into it?

Just don't release it and poison the fans, just throw it away!

"My idea is very simple. We must acknowledge the gap and see the gap clearly, but we cannot be timid, because a timid person cannot see clearly how big the gap is between himself and his opponent!"

"This is our territory, our home court. Even with the home court advantage, we still don't dare to face the enemy head-on?"

"This is cowardly!"

Yang Huan's scolding made many people present feel humiliated, but it also aroused their dignity as filmmakers.

The investors are not afraid, so as a professional filmmaker, what do you have to be afraid of?

"Let me tell you, not to mention that there are only four Hollywood blockbusters being released right now, even if Avatar comes out, I'll have to release it in November. I just want to fight with them. Don't act like our great Chinese film market is the box office backyard of Hollywood films and they can take as much as they want!"

"Fuck him!"

Xu Zheng's blood boiled after hearing this, and he couldn't help but stand up, "Master Huan, well said, well said!"

"That's right, screw Hollywood movies, let's fight them!" Deng Huatao was motivated.

"Deng Huatao!"

"Master Huan!"

"Go, change the advertising slogan for me. Tell the fans that we are not changing the release date. We are going to fight those Hollywood tigers to the bitter end!"

"clear!"

"Your marketing promotion should proceed according to the original plan, just add this one item!"

"Got it, Master Huan!"

"I have something to do in the next two or three days. Please help me do two things."

"Master Huan, please give me your orders!"

"Help me find the best recording studio in Beijing. I want to record a song!"

"good!"

Everyone was very confused. Why was Young Master Huan recording a song when the war was imminent?

"Also, help me edit the movie into a trailer of about four minutes, focusing on the theme of unforgettable lovelorn, and send it to me!"

Deng Huatao didn't have any problem hearing this, "Okay, I'll get ready right away!"

"The meeting is adjourned!"

Yang Huan waved his hand, and everyone immediately stood up, said goodbye to Yang Huan, and dispersed.

"Master Huan, this..." Liu Mingwei didn't understand at all.

What on earth is this for?

Yang Huan waved his hand, he was thinking about something.

When he finally thought it through and understood it, he immediately took the phone from Long Wu's hand.

"Yoon-ah, I'm in Beijing, China. Where are you?"

"Korea? Don't delay, let them book you a flight to Beijing."

"Why? I missed you!"

"Okay, come quickly!"

Then Yang Huan called Li Zhushan who was far away in Southampton and asked him, Qiao Xi and others to quickly book tickets to China.

After making these calls, Yang Huan stood up.

"Lao Liu, send me home, I want to go into seclusion!"

Retreat?

Liu Mingwei was dumbfounded, he had heard from others that when Young Master Huan was preparing for a big move, he liked to stay in seclusion!

Retreat again?

What are you going to do this time?

Zhang Ning had just finished lunch and returned to the company when he received a call from the Beijing Film Company.

"Ms. Zhang, I have been in the film industry for more than a decade, and my judgment is correct. If we choose to release the film at this time, it will definitely be eaten up by Hollywood blockbusters. It will definitely fail."

"On a larger scale, there are a few Hollywood blockbusters, and on a smaller scale, there are a few domestic blockbusters. There is simply no market for us, so I think the safest way is to change the release date."

"But Young Master Yang Huan is stubborn and doesn't understand the rules of the film market. He is an outsider who blindly commands the insiders, and he doesn't listen to my advice at all. How can I do my job like this?"

Zhang Ning listened silently to the complaints from the other end of the phone.

She waited until the other person finished speaking before she smiled faintly.

"Are you done?"

"That's all, Miss Zhang. I'm really thinking about the company."

"I know!" Zhang Ning nodded, "But, I'm sorry, Manager Wang, I solemnly inform you that you are fired!"

"What?" The person on the other end of the phone seemed very surprised.

"Expelled?"

"Yes, you are fired!"

"Why?" Manager Wang simply couldn't accept this sudden dismissal.

"As for the reason, I believe you know it. When you called me, you should have expected this result!"

Zhang Ning's voice was soft, but her tone was cold.

She can allow her employees to have different opinions, but she will never allow them to say one thing in public and do another in secret. Especially when it comes to Yang Huan, no one will show any mercy!

"Are you...are you serious?"

Manager Wang was a little surprised. It was Zhang Ning who poached him with a high salary and a good position, so he agreed to come to Miracle Entertainment.

Are you going to fire him now just because of this phone call?

"I'm sorry, Manager Wang. I don't doubt your ability, but you don't fit in with our company's philosophy, so I can only say sorry!"

Manager Wang on the other end of the phone was now annoyed.

"Okay, okay, very good, don't regret it!"

Zhang Ning smiled faintly and did not respond.

After hanging up the phone, she picked up the phone again and called Yang Huan.

"Sister Ning." The person who answered the phone was Long Wu.

"Where is the young master?" Zhang Ning asked with concern.

"The young master is in seclusion."

"Retreat?" Zhang Ning chuckled and smiled.

"Tell the young master that I will arrive in the capital in the evening!"

"Okay, if the young master comes out, I'll tell him!"

"Um!"

Zhang Ning hung up the phone, smiled, and said something to himself.

"What is this guy doing?"

But soon, she didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Because she knew Yang Huan too well, even if she was a hundred times smarter than she is now, she still couldn't figure out what Yang Huan was going to do.

This guy always thinks and does things as he pleases, which is completely unpredictable.

…………

The Zhuang family’s villa in Yuquan Mountain, Beijing.

"Ziqing, go call Yang Huan and tell him to come over to dinner tonight and tell him that it was me who asked you to do so."

Old Master Zhuang sat in the living room, giving instructions to his precious granddaughter.

Zhuang Ziqing's face was full of shyness, especially when she saw her younger brother Zhuang Zicheng grinning and making faces at her. She knew what was going on and felt even more embarrassed, but she glared at her brother fiercely, scaring him so much that he dared not do anything stupid again.

I took out my cell phone and called. After two beeps, the call went through.

But that voice was not Yang Huan's.

"Hello, Miss Zhuang?"

Zhuang Ziqing was a little surprised, "Who are you?"

"I am Long Wu."

"Oh, Lao Wu, I'm looking for Yang Huan."

"Uh..." Long Wu hesitated, "Miss Zhuang, I'm sorry, the young master has been in seclusion since he came back at noon and hasn't come out yet!"

"Retreat? What is he retreating for?"

Long Wu smiled bitterly. When the young master said he was in seclusion, it always gave people the illusion that he was practicing the Sunflower Manual.

"Something went wrong at the film company, and the young master is trying to remedy the situation."

"Something happened? What happened?"

"I can't explain the details clearly. How about I ask the young master to call you after he comes out of confinement?"

Zhuang Ziqing was somewhat helpless, "When will he come out?"

"I don't know. If it's fast, it takes a few hours. If it's slow, it may take several days."

“I see…”

Zhuang Ziqing felt a little disappointed. It seemed that he would not be able to have dinner tonight.

It was a good thing that Grandpa specially invited him to dinner at home. If he hadn't come, would Grandpa have...

At this moment, a woman's voice was heard on the phone.

"Old Five, where's the young master?"

She heard it clearly.

It’s Zhang Ning’s voice!

She's at his house?!
