Chapter 715: You’re an Idiot!

“After all, if the two series are released at the same time, you will suffer a loss.” Tan Mo shrugged. “If you guys don’t mind, we will be very happy to let it go.”

“What did you say?” Guo Qingchen’s voice rose an octave. He couldn’t believe what he had heard.

Guo Qingchen suspected that he was hearing things.

“Who will suffer a loss?” Guo Qingchen leaned forward to listen to Tan Mo. He wanted to hear it clearly.

“You.” Tan Mo looked at Guo Qingchen’s expression, and it was as if she was looking at a fool and saying, “You are a great director, but unfortunately, you’re a fool as well. You can’t even understand what I’m saying.”

Guo Qingchen stood up in anger. “How dare you look at me like that, you idiot? Everyone knows that Nine Heavens will definitely be more popular than Broken Continent. You think you can scare me?” Guo Qingchen bellowed, “You don’t have to worry about us! These two series will be broadcast at the same time, and your series will die soon. We’ll see about that!”

Seeing Guo Qingchen’s angry att.i.tude, Tan Mo was calm. “Fine! If you’re not afraid of it, we don’t need to change the release date.”

Tan Mo tilted her head and looked at Manager Xu, who was in charge of the advertising department. She said with a bright smile on her face. “I hope your advertisers can get their money back!”

Everyone kept silent. They wondered if Tan Mo had gone mad because of what they had said just now. Was it because she heard them talk about the advertising sponsors.h.i.+p for Nine Heavens and the evaluation data, and she couldn’t stay calm anymore?

People present thought that Tan Mo was too naive. She was too young to keep calm. How could she lose her mind now? After she saw her series fail, would she commit suicide?

“I have no more questions. Thank you for your answers.” These answers were actually the same as what Yan Zhengxing had told her yesterday. Tan Mo was not surprised.

However, if she did not come here today, these people wouldn’t know her att.i.tude, and they would think she was frightened at the moment.

Tan Mo said to Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing, “Mr. Xu, Mr. Yan, thank you for giving us this opportunity today. I’m very satisfied with the answers. Then, we’ll take our leave first.”

Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi rose to their feet. Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing also stood up to see them off.

Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing knew that other than manager Wu, these people weren’t doing this to Tan Mo on purpose, although they had an indifferent att.i.tude towards her. Instead, it was the bad habit they had developed in the entertainment industry over the years. They behaved very sn.o.bbishly. For those who were not famous or didn’t have any achievements in the industry, they would not be polite to them. For those who were famous, they treated them well.

Yan Zhengxing and Xu Das.h.i.+ could not say anything else. They knew even if these people acted politely, they would still be sn.o.bbish. They relied on the fact that although they were behind-the-scenes personnel, they had the final say. If one wanted to broadcast his or her series on the platform, be polite to them. If one wanted the audience to see his or her face on the screens, just be polite to them.

Once the view counts of Broken Continent surpa.s.sed that of Nine Heavens, these people would have a different att.i.tude towards Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi. This is not a phenomenon that only existed in Kefeng Films. On other platforms and other television stations, it was very common.

People present were a little surprised when they saw that Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing were going to see Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi off in person. Why were Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing so polite to them? Even if it was because of Wei Zhiqian, they shouldn’t have done this.

Tan Mo walked out of the conference table and then stopped. She said to Manager Wu, “Oh, by the way, Manager Wu, do you still remember our bet?”

After asking that question, Tan Mo clapped her hands as if she had asked a stupid question. “Sorry, my bad. You surely remember that. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come up with the script of Nine Heavens. Nor would you have set the release date of Nine Heavens the same as Broken Continent.”

Manager Wu didn’t say anything. Since Tan Mo had said it all, there’s no need for him to say it again.

Tan Mo smiled and nodded at manager Wu. “Well, let’s just wait and see.”

Then, Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi left, followed by Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing.

Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing walked Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo to the entrance of the company.

Yan Zhengxing said, “I hope that you didn’t blame them for what they said and did to you. After working in the entertainment industry for a long time, they are all very sn.o.bbish. Moreover, there are some interests and connections between them. For example, Manager Xu helped Manager Liang’s daughter get into a school that was particularly difficult to get into. Then, Manager Liang owed him a favor. The next day, Manager Liang helped to introduce some clients to Manager Xu. That’s why their relations.h.i.+p is getting more and more complicated. Anyway, this happens every day. In addition, they are more optimistic about Nine Heavens.” Yan Zhengxing said, “As long as Broken Continent turns out more popular than Nine Heavens, I’m sure that they will change their att.i.tude towards you. Anyway, people in this industry follow the same rule. You can’t have a long-term friends.h.i.+p with them. Only interests are unchangeable.”

“You are right.” Tan Jinqi nodded.

“That’s right.”Tan Mo also said, “So we just want them to know our series will be popular. We can’t always rely on brother Zhiqian,” Tan Mo said with a smile, “If we really rely on him, the honor won’t belong to us. This is too boring. Although others may be polite to us, they won’t respect us sincerely. Therefore, I didn’t ask brother Zhiqian to help us. We shouldn’t gain help from him. We need to compete with others on merit.”

Xu Das.h.i.+ didn’t expect that Tan Mo would be so optimistic and confident. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. Anyway, there was no need to comfort her. He just watched Tan Mo and Tan Mo leave.

Guo Qingchen was irritated by what Tan Mo had said to him. At this moment, it’s not just Manager Wu who wanted to see Tan Mo fail. He also hoped that Broken Continent would become a total failure. Not only did he want the broadcast volume of Nine Heavens to be higher than that of Broken Continent, but he also hoped that it would fail, and then became a piece of sh*t that n.o.body was willing to watch. The audience would ridicule it, and those video bloggers and streamers would criticize it.

He hoped Broken Continent would be a joke, sooner or later.

He hoped that Tan Jinqi would never be able to be a director again.

He hoped that Tan Mo would become infamous. She had only written one successful script. How dare she be so arrogant?

Guo Qingchen and Manager Wu immediately stood on the same side.

After the meeting, Guo Qingchen did not leave. He brought several people to Manager Wu’s office and continued to have a small meeting with him.

That afternoon, a new top search about Broken Continent appeared, even though it had been praised by all the people on the Internet until yesterday.

A large group of people left comments like “Broken Continent Sucks” in the comment area of various marketing accounts, including the official blog of Broken Continent and Kefeng Films, and the real-time top search forum..
