After the divorce, I became a rich girl

The next day, Universal Pictures issued a notice that it had withdrawn from the film project shot by Director Zhang. The news quickly became a hot topic on the Internet. Fans of some male and female actors who participated in the project asked under the official account of the film why Universal Pictures withdrew from the filming of the film?

Everyone knows that this project was directed by Zhang, starring Xiao Yi, and the supporting actors are all powerful. This is a sure-fire money-making project, but now the project's largest investor has suddenly withdrawn, which makes people wonder if something unknown has happened in the project?

As a major investor in the entertainment industry, Universal Pictures naturally has their own channels for obtaining information. But their sudden withdrawal when the filming of the project had basically been completed was a choice to avoid risks?

After all, there are too many stars whose reputations have been ruined in the entertainment industry. The reasons for their ruination are beyond your imagination, and there is nothing they cannot do, such as not paying taxes when they should and sleeping when they shouldn't.

Other film projects that started shooting at the same time naturally bought a lot of smearing hot searches in such a trend. For a time, Director Zhang and the actors in the group were at the forefront of public opinion.

Producer Wang held his mobile phone and browsed various trending searches on the social platforms. Of course, he also spent money to promote it. He wanted this project to fail.

He will let people in this circle know that no matter whether they are famous directors or top stars, there will be no good consequences if they offend him. Universal Pictures is the absolute ruler of this circle.

President Wang looked at his brother lying on the sofa playing with his phone, frowned and said: "You went a little too far this time. This project should have been our most profitable project this year."

Producer Wang continued to look at his phone and said nonchalantly, "Brother, I'm doing this for Shiyu."

The king always felt a headache when thinking about his daughter's willfulness, but he only had this one precious girl and spoiled her since she was little. She had to get whatever she liked since she was little, but now she felt frustrated with Xiao Yi.

He thought about what happened yesterday when his daughter heard that Xiao Yi didn't see her, and she was so angry that she smashed everything in the house and cried like a pear blossom in the rain, which made people feel very distressed.

Mr. Wang looked at his younger brother and asked, "Did Director Zhang get investment again?"

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "I have contacted other investors, and they all said that Director Zhang has contacted them and asked them to make additional investments. But you know, those people are small companies with limited financial resources. They wanted to follow us and share in the profits, but now we have withdrawn our investment. Not to mention continuing to make additional investments, they are now planning to withdraw their investment. Seeing the current situation, other investors naturally dare not enter the market."

Da Wang always laughed and said, "They withdraw their investment? That's difficult. They are all bound by the contract. I'm afraid it's not easy to withdraw the investment. Director Zhang agreed not to follow the contract because he was afraid of the strength of our Universal Pictures, but they don't have that ability."

When producer Wang heard what his elder brother said, he quickly stood up from the sofa and said, "Brother, don't we still have several good scripts in our hands? We are not short of funds, and our company has plenty of actors. If we speed up the filming now, do you think it will be released at the same time as Director Zhang's movie? How about a competition?"

The King looked at the calculation in his brother's eyes and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"

Producer Wang said, "Brother, we can unite the remaining investors to negotiate with Director Zhang and get other investors to withdraw their investment at the lowest cost. The post-production of Director Zhang's film is the biggest expense. If there are no investors and the project wants to be released as scheduled, we can only cut the cost of post-production. But without special effects, this is a high-budget project. If the picture quality is not as good as a third-rate project, what do you think will happen?"

The King thought about the feasibility of his brother's suggestion and said, "If we do this, I'm afraid we will offend Director Zhang to death, right?"

Producer Wang chuckled and said, "Brother, don't worry. Director Zhang is very smart. As long as he wants to stay in this circle, he won't make the relationship with us too awkward. After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

The king always asked: "What is your purpose?"

Producer Wang showed a cruel smile, "I just want Xiao Yi to fall into the dust. He is just an actor with no background, what's so noble about him? Shiyu likes him and gives him face. How dare he reject Shiyu? Who gives him the courage? I want him to kneel in front of Shiyu and beg Shiyu to be his girlfriend. When Shiyu loses interest in him, I will arrange some black material for him, and then he can get out of this circle in disgrace."

Director Zhang looked at the trending searches on the Internet and called Liang Yusen anxiously: "Mr. Liang, when will we officially announce the cooperation?"

Liang Yusen has also been paying attention to the dynamics online. He knows what Director Zhang is anxious about, but he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He said: "Director Zhang, why are you in such a hurry? Let the bullet fly for a while, there will be unexpected results."

Director Zhang was so anxious that his mouth was swollen and blistered. He said, "Mr. Liang, the public opinion on the Internet..."

Liang Yusen said: "Director Zhang, you have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, you should know that online public opinion is a double-edged sword. It looks bad now, but once the news of our signing of the contract is released, these public opinions will be hot searches that we don't have to pay for."

Director Zhang naturally knew what Liang Yusen meant, so he could only sigh and say, "Okay, let's wait a little longer, but Mr. Liang, you have to give me a deadline, right?"

Liang Yusen said: "We will sign the contract on time at 16:00 tomorrow afternoon."

Director Zhang exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "Okay, I hope Mr. Liang won't break his promise."

Liang Yusen said with a smile: "Director Zhang, the most valuable thing about me is my credit."

Director Zhang felt that this period was tormenting. In the end, he simply stopped paying attention to the developments on the Internet, which were nothing more than pessimistic views on the prospects of the films he was shooting. After seeing so much of it, he was about to lose confidence in his own shooting ability.

Finally, he simply lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. He had been running all day yesterday and he was really exhausted.

He hadn't been lying down for half an hour when his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Producer Wang calling. Director Zhang took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Mr. Wang, is there anything else you're calling me for?"

Producer Wang played with the pen in his hand and said with a smile, "Director Zhang, I don't want to bother you. Several other investors in your project came to me and wanted to withdraw from your project. They begged me to be a middleman and talk to you. Do you want to have a meal with us so we can talk about this in person?"
