Chapter 1747: Chapter 1747: Bet Agreement
"You bitch, how dare you treat me like this? Youâre finished, I will make you pay dearly for this, just you wait!
Still staring? Quickly, call a car to take me to the hospital!" The director fumed at his assistant beside him, even giving him a kick at the end.
The assistant quickly helped the director leave, and as they left, the director continued to curse under his breath.
"Jian, you may feel satisfied for now, but what about the aftermath?" Qin Rou spoke with a bit of helplessness as she watched the directorâs departing figure, yet the thrill in her eyes wasnât entirely concealed.
"What do you mean, âwhat aboutâ? Just find another director!" Jian Dan replied lightly, casually leaving the set.
After returning to New E Media, Qin Rou used her connections to reach out to all the well-known directors she could find, but they either had no time or made excuses to decline.
"Iâve run out of options. Iâve contacted everyone I could, but no one can do it!" Qin Rou tossed her phone onto the table, sounding a bit despondent.
"Rou, look at you now, is it worth being this defeated? Itâs just one movie, right? If we canât shoot it now, we can wait and shoot it later. Our company doesnât rely solely on this one project, after all."
"Jian, you donât understand. We previously signed a gambling agreement with Shangxing Media. If this movie doesnât release on time, losing money is the least of our concerns. It will directly affect our influence in the industry. Especially when our company is currently nurturing fresh talent, any dip in influence will impact their debut."
"What gambling agreement? How come I didnât know about this? When did this happen?" Jian Dan immediately dropped his flippant demeanor, looking seriously at Qin Rou and asked.
"It was something from before, wasnât it? When I went to pick you up from the hospital, I wanted to tell you, but given your mood at the time, how could I bring it up? And then I just didnât get another chance." Qin Rou explained helplessly.
"But why sign such a gambling agreement?" Jian Dan inquired with curiosity.
With New E Mediaâs standing in the industry, there was no need for it!
"At that time, I took the newcomers to an event, and people from Shangxing Media were also there. Somehow, it escalated into an argument, and to prevent this matter from spreading and affecting the image of the newcomersâ debut, we finally decided to sign this gambling agreement. There really was no other option back then."
"So thatâs what happened!"
"Yes! Renowned directors already have full schedules, and with the gambling agreement with Shangxing, many directors chose not to help either side to avoid offending anyone. Obviously, those familiar with Shangxing wouldnât help us, no matter what, so I turned to Director Fang as a last resort.
But now, because Director Fang has spoken out within the circle, and his influence here is still quite considerable, itâs become almost impossible to find not just famous directors but even ordinary ones."
"How can this be? They dare to ignore even the elders?"
"Externally, itâs always been rumored that New E Media is a subsidiary of Qin Corporation, but very few people actually know this."
"No, we absolutely cannot lose this!" A fierce determination suddenly ignited in Jian Danâs eyes.
Even if only a few people know New E Media belongs to Qin Corporation, this face must not be lost!
"Have you contacted Yorickson? I helped him so much before; surely he wonât just stand by now?"
"Donât bring it up. I tried contacting him first thing, but none of his contact details are working. In the end, I reached out to his assistant, only to find out that heâs self-exiling over Hillary, and even the assistant doesnât know where Yorickson is now!" Qin Rou said, raising a hand to rub her temples.
