Chapter 289

~6 min read 1,057 words

He seemed to have thought of something.

"Go ahead and say it, Brother Wang. Bai Lu and Fatty aren't outsiders; they won't go around blabbing."

Wang Zhonglei hesitated slightly.

However, upon hearing this, the two of them looked at Qin Yu, feeling quite appreciated.

Qin Yu's words made them feel very comfortable; he didn't treat them as outsiders at all.

"This... alright, the situation is like this."

Wang Zhonglei told Qin Yu about the fact that Feng Xiaogang's *If You Are the One* was set to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"Qin Yu, I'm not an unreasonable person. How about this: let *Detective Chinatown* be released on the third day, just two days later?"

"Huayi can take two percentage points less of the revenue share."

Seeing this, Qin Yu frowned. He hadn't forgotten how Feng Xiaogang had lashed out at him last time.

That guy with the big mouth had actually looked down on his *The Matrix*.

Isn't it just that I tricked you once?

Is it necessary to be so petty?

Actually, releasing it on the third day wasn't impossible; Qin Yu wasn't that stubborn.

"What do you two think?"

"I listen to the boss." Bai Lu had no opinion, holding Qin Yu's hand and saying sweetly.

"It doesn't matter, I'll listen to you too."

Wang Zhonglei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Yu.

After a while, Qin Yu said:

"How about this, Brother Wang: go tell 'Cannon' Feng that as long as he comes to my company in person and asks me, I'll give him some face."

"And release it on the third day."

"This matter isn't for you to sell favors, Brother Wang. Let Director Feng come; it just so happens I have a score to settle with him."

Wang Zhonglei felt a bit numb. Come in person?

It would be appropriate to come in person, after all, he was asking Qin Yu to take a step back.

There had to be some sincerity.

But the problem was, would Feng Xiaogang come?

Wang Zhonglei felt there was a ninety percent chance he wouldn't. What kind of person was that guy?

Hadn't he known him for over ten years?

Arrogant, bad-tempered, and lashing out at this and that all day long.

How could he possibly come to Qin Yu's place? In his eyes, it would look like he was afraid of Qin Yu.

"Qin Dao~"

"Brother Wang, don't say any more." Qin Yu waved his hand.

"As long as Director Feng comes in person, I guarantee I'll step back. You won't even need to take less of a share; I just want to have a chat with Director Feng."

"Can't he even give me this bit of face?"

Wang Zhonglei: "..."

He stopped talking. If he kept going, he would be too biased.

Qin Yu was speaking with reason and evidence, and he was being very respectful.

If he asked Qin Yu to step back again, what would others think?

Wasn't the last incident caused by 'Cannon' Feng anyway?

If it weren't for that.

Qin Yu would definitely have taken a step back; after all, since you tricked Feng Xiaogang, giving him some face was the right thing to do.

"Alright then, I will tell Director Feng."

"That's more like it. Actually, I quite like chatting with Director Feng." Qin Yu smiled slightly.

"He is~ quite honest."

"..."

"Isn't it 'honestly stupid'?" Wang Zhonglei thought silently, feeling speechless.

You kid aren't honest either, tricking Feng Xiaogang, and now you bring it up every now and then to be laughed at by others.

It made Director Feng not dare to go out for several days.

Bai Lu and Zhou Pangzi nearby also couldn't help but chuckle.

Qin Yu, you are truly wicked.

After Wang Zhonglei left, Bai Lu and Zhou Pangzi couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Boss, you're too wicked, scolding Director Feng again."

"Qin Yu, this really isn't very good, after all, he is a senior."

"..."

"When did I scold him?" Qin Yu spread his hands, looking innocent.

"I really do like Director Feng; people who are straightforward are easy to get along with."

"..."

"Then if he really comes, are you really going to release it on the third day?"

"Definitely. As long as he comes, I'll step back."

Qin Yu really felt it didn't matter, otherwise he had already told the netizens it would be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

If it gets postponed, there has to be a reason.

Don't let people think I was afraid of Feng Xiaogang; that wouldn't do.

If Feng Xiaogang comes, it's different; it shows it was discussed and agreed upon.

Naturally, no one would stir up trouble anymore.

………………

PS: Three chapters delivered, asking all you handsome guys for support.

I'm broke again recently, the ladies at the club call me every day.

Brothers, I need support.

Ten tickets for an extra chapter.

161: The furious Feng Xiaogang, rivals meet during the Spring Festival, Weibo explodes, onlookers are laughing their heads off.

An hour later, Qin Yu stood at the main entrance.

He had seen off Wang Zhonglei, Wu Kebo, and several people from the theater chains.

Then he patted Guo Fan and Xu Zhen on the shoulders and asked with a smile:

"How does it feel?"

Xu Zhen said with an excited face:

"Qin Dao, I am going to carefully conceive my script; I definitely won't let you down."

"And..."

This time, Xu Zhen truly witnessed the cruelty and reality of the entertainment industry.

Actors really don't have much of a future unless you are exceptionally good.

The kind that is irreplaceable.

Otherwise, in the eyes of capital and theater chains, you are simply nothing.

Only directors can barely be considered the upper echelon of the entertainment industry.

"Xu Zhen, what does the movie I'm filming have to do with you?"

Guo Fan's face was dark; this guy Xu Zhen wasn't honest at all.

It was clearly a movie I was filming, yet you were chatting so happily with them.

Making it seem like you were the one who filmed it.

Get lost.

"Why are you angry? You couldn't even speak properly in front of the bosses, and now you're scolding me for helping you."

"Help my ass, get lost."
