Chapter 257

"If this were released, people would laugh themselves to death."

"..."

"They still have to pay me the five million in damages according to the contract. If they dare not to, I'll go straight to the Ministry of Culture."

"Hiss!!!"

The entire crew was terrifyingly quiet; no one dared to speak.

Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Jin, Liu Yifei, and the others were the same; in truth, they were also very angry inside.

The filming had been going well, but they hadn't expected the problem to come from the special effects side.

They had also seen the footage; while it didn't count as "fifty-cent special effects," it definitely hadn't cost much to make.

That bunch of people really had some nerve.

No wonder Qin Yu was so angry. With an investment of nearly three hundred million, if the special effects were like this...

The audience would be cursing in the cinema.

Old Yuan hesitated for a long time before saying.

"Fine, I won't interfere. You handle it yourself."

Qin Yu hung up the phone, his face full of murderous intent.

"Fatty."

"Go to Hangcheng immediately. There's a special effects company there called Heavenly Work Artistry; they have a good reputation in the industry."

"Hurry and contact them. Tell them that if they can finish it in half a year, this eighty-million order is theirs."

"Plus a five-million bonus."

"Got it."

"I'm leaving right now."

"..."

"What are the rest of you standing around for? Hurry up and prepare for the next scene."

"Yes, Director Qin!"

Qin Yu was currently in a fit of rage; who would dare to pull the tiger's whiskers? Were they tired of living?

Even Liu Yifei didn't dare.

She obediently prepared to film.

On the other side.

The people at Huamei Special Effects were dumbfounded. Old Yuan had just called them and scolded them severely.

Immediately afterward, a lawyer's letter from Qin Yun Culture arrived.

It demanded they return the previous quarter of the production fees and also compensate the Matrix crew five million in damages.

If they didn't pay, they would be sued tomorrow.

PS: The third update has arrived.

Calling for support from all you handsome guys.

Ten tickets for an extra chapter, nine.

146 A miserable end, the Huamei chairman is finished, the happy Qin Yu, teasing the Fairy Sister.

The chairman of Huamei Special Effects was furious. Qin Yu actually showed them so little respect.

They were the number one special effects company in the country, and a state-owned enterprise at that—one of Huaying's subsidiaries.

It was a total slap in the face.

"Return the money, my ass. If you, Qin Yu, have the guts, go ahead and sue me. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Li Jianhua didn't take Qin Yu seriously at all; anyway, this was a messy account.

You say it doesn't meet the requirements, but who knows if you're just talking nonsense?

Besides, the movie filming is so urgent now; let's see what time you have to fight a lawsuit with me. I'm not afraid of dragging it out.

But it wasn't long before he couldn't be happy anymore.

Qin Yu secretly sent out a message.

If they didn't return the money, he would go to the Ministry of Culture tomorrow, then accept interviews from reporters and make the whole thing public.

He would push all the responsibility onto Huamei.

Li Jianhua was truly terrified this time. He felt that Qin Yu wouldn't be so ruthless.

But he hadn't expected this kid to be so vicious.

It was obvious he wanted to destroy him.

If the finished special effects were released, it would be all over.

Huamei's reputation would be trampled into the dirt, and he might end up even worse.

This time, they really hadn't put in much effort; they intended to spend less than a third of the eighty million on the special effects.

"Did Qin Yu really say that?"

"147" "Yes, Chairman. He has already bought a ticket. If the money isn't in the account by tomorrow morning, he will return to the capital immediately."

"Then he will go find Old Yuan's superiors, and afterward, he will accept interviews and blow this matter up completely."

"..."

"Old Yuan won't interfere. Huamei is a subsidiary of Huaying."

"Old Yuan can't interfere. Qin Yu plans to drag Enlighten, Wanda, and Bona into this together."

"Bastard!"

Li Jianhua was panicking. If it were an ordinary entertainment company, he could have just scammed them.

With Huaying behind them, ordinary entertainment companies couldn't afford to provoke them.

But now, he had kicked an iron plate.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Jianhua really didn't want to return the money; returning it would mean they would lose at least ten million.

But if he didn't return it...

This guy Qin Yu could fight him to the very end.

He also knew how many people were paying attention to this movie. If it blew up...

Qin Yu might get a slap on the wrist, but it would definitely be a minor punishment.

But as for him, it was hard to say.

Being kicked out directly wasn't impossible.

Someone had to be the scapegoat.

"Return it, hurry up and return the money to that bastard Qin Yu. Damn it, he's a lunatic."

"Yes, Chairman."

"Did that old bastard Li Jianhua return the money?"

Enlighten.

Wang Zhangdian sat in his office chair and asked.

"He returned it, Chairman. This guy really has some nerve; to make this kind of garbage with eighty million is simply outrageous."

The assistant beside him also couldn't understand it.

Even if they had done it seriously, they could have made quite a bit.

This was something Old Yuan had fought hard to get; making thirty million wouldn't have been a problem.

At the time, many domestic special effects companies were eyeing it.

But who would have thought they would treat Qin Yu like a sucker.

They fleeced him for everything he was worth.

This movie was Qin Yu's foundation-laying battle; if done well, he would definitely be deified.

If done poorly, he wouldn't be able to recover for years.

Did Li Jianhua really think Qin Yu was easy to bully?

"Hmph, those people in state-owned enterprises are all like that." Wang Zhangdian said with disdain.
