388 Apologize
"What bad influence?"
"There was a bad impact on the box office directly and also to the reputation of the film!" CEO Zhou roared. He was very unhappy that Lu Man had interrupted him.
"Are there any actual results?" Lu Man asked.
"What?" CEO Zhou was taken aback for a moment.
"You said that the box office wasn't good. So then, has the box office result for today come out yet?" Lu Man asked coldly.
Happy Fortune Media's CEO Gao grunted unhappily, "Since the matter about deleting all of Bai Shuangshuang's scenes for no reason has blown up so much online, you don't even need to think to know that the box office for the film will be bad! This is all experience!"
"The result still isn't out yet, so you can't make a judgment too," Lu Man said calmly.
"What result do you want! This is all based on our years of experience! The number of films we have invested in is even greater than the number of years you've lived, and you're questioning us?" CEO Gao glared harshly at Lu Man.
Cao Houlin coldly criticized her. "Don't think that just because you succeeded in two small matters you are invincible. Perhaps in public relations, you can be considered as a professional, but in the film production and release, regarding the eventual results, you completely don't know anything! We don't even need to look at the outcome, we just need to see the process and we can predict the outcome!"
"Hehe," Lu Man snickered a little. If you're so invincible, why don't you fly into the sky then!
I'll just silently stay here, listening to you all brag.
"So what do all of you want to do? With the current situation, shouldn't you be looking for Bai Shuangshuang instead and telling her to stop blowing up on the internet? What's the point of looking for me?" Lu Man casually threw the question back at them. Cao Houlin and the others completely didn't cause any stress to Lu Man.
Xu Fenglai blinked. "That's right. This matter was started because of Bai Shuangshuang. If Bai Shuangshuang stops spouting rubbish on the internet, nothing would happen at all. Shouldn't you all be looking for Bai Shuangshuang instead?"
Cao Houlin was tongue-tied because of the question. Raising his voice, he roared, "How could you be so unreasonable? Isn't the main reason behind this is the deletion of all Bai Shuangshuang's scenes? I have invested in this film too. Bai Shuangshuang is an artist from our company. Initially, when I was going to invest in this, I only had one request and that was to let Bai Shuangshuang have a role. Now, you have publicly breached our contract and even caused scandals to continuously be released. Shouldn't you be responsible for this?"
"Then what do you suggest?" Lu Man raised her eyebrows and asked.
Sun Yiwu frowned and said, "CEO Cao, you're only just one of the investors. Moreover, even on adding all of your funding together, you didn't even invest as much as Han Corporation. Amongst you all, Han Corporation had the biggest share in the investment. No matter what decision it is, you should at least wait for someone from Han Corporation to arrive first."
"So what if Han Corporation is here! Lu Man has already ruined all the benefit for all the investors, including that of Han Corporation! Even if Han Corporation is here, they wouldn't let Lu Man off so easily either!" Cao Houlin scoffed coldly. Once Han Corporation is here, Lu Man would only have to suffer even more.
After all, Han Corporation had invested one billion yuan in Greedy Wolf Operation!
Raising his eyebrows, Cao Houlin said, "You, apologize publicly to Bai Shuangshuang, make amends and reconcile. We can't do anything about today's screening, but at least all the future shows should have all of Bai Shuangshuang's scenes added back."
"How shameless you are to even ruin the director's career just for the sake of a Bai Shuangshuang? Don't forget how Bai Shuangshuang had criticized us." Lu Man bluntly pointed out. "If I apologize publicly, that's equivalent to admitting that there is something unspeakable of going on between Director Sun and me. However, Director Sun and I are completely clean, we have been morally upright and have done nothing wrong. Why should we admit it? Why should we apologize? As a director, Director Sun has deleted the unnecessary scenes so that the film could be perfected, what is wrong with that? If I really apologize, then am I truly tarnishing the reputation of the film and truly affecting the movie's box office!"
