Chapter 486

"Oppa! Not there!"

"Don't call me Oppa! Call me Daddy."

"......"

That night.

Li Li Zhien thoroughly experienced what a fairyland on earth is, and what it means to be floating in ecstasy.

It wasn't until the second half of the night, after a deep understanding, that the battle finally came to an end.

The next morning.

Lin Yu made breakfast for Li Li Zhien.

And then he began his morning exercise of Tai Chi.

Li Li Zhien, eating milk and fried eggs.

Curled up on the bed, watching Lin Yu practicing boxing with his bare upper body on the balcony, was also enjoying the moment.

She really wished time could freeze at this moment.

To keep this beauty forever.

However, a phone call soon came in.

Breaking this rare, peaceful time.

The caller was Li Li Zhien’s manager.

The trip to China had to be interrupted temporarily because of the MAMA awards ceremony, and she needed to return to her country early.

"What is MAMA?"

Lin Yu scratched Li Li Zhien’s little nose.

"MAMA is the All-Asia Music Festival. At that time, all singers and heavyweight actor guests will be there to support it. This also symbolizes the highest music level in all of Asia, equivalent to the Grammys in Europe and America."

"Though the influence isn't that big."

Hearing Li Li Zhien’s explanation.

Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Considering whether to make a splash at this MAMA Asian Music Festival next quarter.

But immediately, he shook his head secretly in his heart.

This kind of award doesn't get global recognition.

Even if he gains honor, there’s nothing to be proud of.

And hearing Li Li Zhien say that this award has been dominated by Japanese and Korean singers in recent years.

These judges inevitably have some unclear relationships.

There’s no need to get involved in this muddy water.

If he is going to reach the point of social etiquette and reciprocity, it’s better to aim for the Grammys or the Oscars.

After the two said their hurried goodbyes.

Lin Yu took out his backup phone; this phone was basically for handling work matters.

And at this moment.

The messages on it had reached 99+, with hundreds of red exclamation marks, making Lin Yu furrow his brows. He knew something must have happened.

After communicating with Da Peng and the person in charge of the Rainbow Animation Studio, he returned to Beijing overnight.

During the period Lin Yu was participating in the variety show.

All the approval work for "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child" had been completed.

Lin Yu had already given a heads-up before.

Under the special care of the Radio and Television Bureau.

It passed the review quickly and got the approval number.

The release date was set for the summer slot this year.

On the surface, everything looked smooth.

But in reality, there were undercurrents!

It was already past 9 PM when Lin Yu returned to the Huanyu Company.

In the large office, the lights were still blazing.

This was the first meeting between Lin Yu’s two studios.

Leaders, executives, and those in charge were all gathered in the conference room.

"Brother Yu, why don't we withdraw from the slot?"

"Exactly, change the slot! If not, waiting until the National Day slot to release it wouldn't be too late."

"New Year’s Day or the Spring Festival slot would also be quite good; the whole family can go watch it."

"......"

Da Peng from Huanyu Company and Xiao Jie from the Rainbow Studio spoke as representatives, expressing their views, and their opinions were very unified.

"Absolutely cannot withdraw."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and said very firmly.

First of all, "Birth of the Demon Child" had already poured in all his liquid capital.

And he also used over 70 million from Boss Yang’s Jiaxing Media.

Announcing a withdrawal or postponement at this time.

It is very likely to cause capital turnover problems for both companies.

"But... we’ve clashed with other films!"

The head of the marketing department at Huanyu Company had a bitter face.

"General Manager Lin, it’s like this."

"There will be nine major theatrical blockbusters released in the domestic summer slot this quarter, two of which are the most eye-catching."

"'The Captain'."

"This is the first time a film about a plane crash has been shot domestically; the promotion started a year in advance, and it’s adapted from real people and real events."

"Starring Zhang Hanyu, Du Song Jiang, and Yuan Quan, a group of powerful actors."

Listening to the marketing department’s introduction.

Both teams’ expressions sank instantly.

This kind of disaster film already has a topic, plus the addition of veteran actors; it would be hard for it not to be a hit.

"...And the other film is 'My People, My Country'."

"Needless to say, this is a tribute film for the motherland; when the time comes, it will receive strong support in terms of theater scheduling."

"And the actors inside are a gathering of stars."

"Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Xu Zheng, Liu Haoran, etc.; any one of them pulled out is a box office killer."

"......."

After hearing the report from the marketing department.

The part of the crowd that was standing on Lin Yu’s side and insisting on not withdrawing began to waver instantly.

What is there to compare?

Right time, right place, and right people; they already occupied all three from the start.

"Sigh! And that’s not all!"

"There will also be several films released from abroad this time."

"'X-Men'! 'Andhadhun'! And..."

The head of the marketing department took a deep breath and spread his hands helplessly.

"And 'Avengers: Endgame'."

What?

There’s also Avengers!

After hearing this explosive news.

All the executives of the two companies had their mouths twitch, and they all gasped.

The entire conference room instantly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Then they began to argue in a hubbub.

"What are we still hesitating about?"

"Withdraw, withdraw, hurry up and withdraw!"

"Isn't this a joke? We are an animation; how can we fight against these disaster films and patriotic mainstream films!"

"......."

Everyone asked themselves, if they really had the time to watch one movie.

Most of the people in this room would choose to watch "Avengers: Endgame".

No one would waste their time on this Chinese-made domestic animation.
