Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Zhuang Heng Can Only Rely on His Looks
After the press release was over, Tao Wei walked over to Yan Jinyi who was still figuring out how to teach Tang Qing the most painful lesson ever.
“Jinyi, there is something that I need you to tell Second Young Mistress Huo.”
Yan Jinyi’s first reaction was that the disgusting man Lin Chenggong was getting up to some nasty tricks again.
“What is it?”
Tao Wei hesitated and then handed a form to Yan Jinyi. “Almost all of the famous domestic cinemas have rejected us and they don’t intend to screen our movie. Instead, they have scheduled many screening slots for ‘Islander’.”
Yan Jinyi flipped through the form to see that there were some notes on it. The bulk of the information was about Tang Qing forbidding them from screening the film and comments about Tao Wei’s bad reputation.
“No matter how good our film is, if no cinema is willing to screen it, we can only…”
When he mentioned this, Tao Wei began to choke between sobs.
Squatting on the ground, he held his head in his hands and said, “I really shouldn’t have been so delusional to think that I can clear my name and turn the situation around with the film this time.”
“There are cinemas that are willing to screen it, isn’t that so?”
“They’re all just small and little known cinemas in the fifth or sixth tier cities where there are very few moviegoers.”
‘Tang Qing, hah…’
“Does Huo Group own cinemas too?”
Tao Wei nodded, “The Huo Group will certainly allow us to screen our film for the sake of Second Young Mistress Huo, but this is far from enough. There are only so few Huo Group cinemas in Shenyang.”
‘How troublesome.’
Yan Jinyi frowned, feeling annoyed and frustrated when she saw Tao Wei acting like he was dying.
“Good movies will definitely be discovered. Director Tao, put out a five-minute clip of the film after the premiere. Just choose the scene of me forcing a kiss on Zhuang Heng.”
‘It’s just promoting the film and creating clout. It’s all about resorting to tricks. As a bandit leader, my tricks are definitely far superior to everyone else’s.”
“But, that’s our best scene…”
“Just listen to me. Let Zhuang Heng post updates about the film regularly on Weibo. That’s the only purpose of his face.”
In Tao Wei’s opinion, Yan Jinyi represented Second Young Mistress Huo, so everything she said would be on behalf of the latter.
“Lin Chenggong is creating quite a bit of a storm for his film this time. I heard that apart from Mr. Tang, many artists of the industry will also be there to support them.”
Yan Jinyi looked up and thought, ‘It’s just a competition of whose guests have higher statuses.’
“I want you to do something now. Get a Weibo account to spread the news that Second Young Mistress Huo will be in charge of the invitation list for old Mr. Huo’s upcoming birthday banquet.”
Tao Wei was a veteran after all. He instantly understood what Yan Jinyi meant.
Old Master Huo was once a powerful figure in the business world who had a wide network of connections.
There would definitely be top figures of every industry at his birthday banquet.
For some entrepreneurs, it would be a very good opportunity.
As long as they got into Second Young Mistress Huo’s good books and made her happy, they would obtain the entrance ticket to the birthday banquet.
“Jinyi, Second Young Mistress Huo is really unpredictable, this is a great move. I’ll get someone to do it.”
“Okay.”
She would make Lin Chenggong end up in a state that was as miserable as he was complacent and conceited now.
As expected, once the shocking piece of news was released, many netizens were the first to discuss it.
“Second Young Mistress Huo is going against Mr. Tang for real now, huh?”
“Hah, I don’t care. Mr. Tang is a hunk. I support hunks. Besides, Second Young Mistress Huo is a woman, how can she compete with Mr. Tang?”
“The only thing I care about now is how extravagant and luxurious the Huo Family’s birthday banquet will be!”
“Wake up your idea. We will never be able to guess or imagine what kind of banquets tycoons throw.”
