Chapter 218: Chapter 218

As soon as Chase said this, everyone's expressions became more comical.

They looked at this young director in disbelief, wondering where his confidencemcame from!

How dared he make such a promise?!

Was he out of his mind?

Lucas was also stunned for a while.

He wanted to defend Chase in hopes of stirring up some fire, but he did not expect that Chase would make such a drastic promise.

Chase would take the blame and resign, huh?

Hahaha!

How ridiculous!

This idiotic director was simply ridiculous!

Wasn't this exactly what Lucas expected?!

Chase actually jumped into the trap himself!

Interesting!

Olivia's eyes widened!

She pulled Chase to the side and whispered, "Are you f*cking out of your mind? Stop messing around! Are you sure that this movie will be a hit?"

Chase asked in response. "Wouldn't you have any idea whether this movie will be a hit?"

What an outrageous reply!

At that moment, Olivia had to fight the chaos of her rage. Otherwise, she would have turned and left.

She rebuked silently, "Is he trying to pick a fight with me? What is wrong with this dude?!"

He was such a disappointment to Harper!

It took Olivia a lot of effort to calm herself down.

She comforted herself in her heart, maybe this was for the best.

She had had enough with an idiot director like Chase.

She should take this opportunity to drive him out.

Otherwise. Lunanica Media would be destroyed in his hands eventually.

The shareholders continued to make a fuss.

Olivia slammed the table again and said indifferently, "Since Director Lu has promised to resign his position as the director should the movie become a failure, then we should continue to discuss what to do next in this meeting. Do you guys have any comments?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Olivia looked at the notebook and added, "Our contract with Henderson Media is now a fact we can't change. Our top priority now is to figure out how to shoot this

movie, and also to redeem the loss. First of all, the issue we're facing now is the one third of sponsorship rights we currently own. As we have one-third of it, we can decide at least five parties. Do you guys have any good opinions and suggestions?

At this time, someone suggested, "Our loss is going to be huge since we spent an extra 50 million yuan to buy off the copyright. I suggest that we can run public recruitment. Any interested party has to pay 20 million yuan to own a seat. This way, wouldn't the loss be covered?"

The scene went silent at this person's words.

Olivia was looking at that person like a fool.

After a long time, Olivia sighed and replied, "According to initial market prices, it shouldn't be a problem if we were to ask for 10 million yuan for each sponsorship headcount. But now, the movie is going to be produced by us. Do you think those big shots are fools? It's lucky enough if we can make 10 million yuan out of this

recruitment. If we were to double the price, not only will we not be able to sell any of them, but we will also ruin the movie."

Olivia's words caught everyone's approval at the scene.

Everyone looked at Chase with hateful gazes. He was the cause of this!

They continued on discussing, but they could not come up with a reasonable plan.

No one wanted it if the price was too high.

However, the gain was not worth the loss if the price was too low.

This sponsorship, which everyone was fighting for initially, had turned into hot potatoes at this moment.

Olivia could not help asking Chase, "What is your opinion, Director Lu?"

What she meant was that Chase should clean up the mess he made.

Chase parted his lips slowly. "Since these sponsorship rights are now hot potatoes, you might as well give it to me. I will let my

friends take it to win their hearts.

This sentence once again aroused the crowd.

Everyone looked at Chase in disbelief They thought, "Is this brat abusing his power as a director for his own personal gains? Right in front of our eyes?"

These sponsorship rights were worth tens of millions of yuan!

He actually wanted to gave them all out!

Why didn't he go f*ck himself?

Olivia was immobilized by fury because of Chase.

Previously, they gave the Song family one of the sponsorship rights. This decision had already received a lot of repercussions from the shareholders.

Now, Chase was going to take all the sponsorship rights and give them away!

A wicked gleam flashed across Lucas's eyes as he chimed in, "That's a good idea since Director Lu has already given out the sponsorship rights to the Song's before...

"Oh, I gave another one away while I was on the way here earlier, Chase interjected.

The people at the scene were dumbfounded.

Did Chase see and treat these sponsorship rights as cabbage?

He gave another one out on the way here, huh?

D'mn it!

Just as everyone was about to get angry. Lucas continued. "Since this is Director lu's decision. I'll support him unconditionally. After all, he has already promised to resign if the movie were to fail."

For a while, nobody dared to speak up!

However, Olivia could see through Lucas's sinister intentions. He was setting fires up.

Although he seemed to be defending Chase, in fact, he was deliberately adding oil to fire so Chase would be loathed by everyone at the scene. How diabolical of him to bring up Chase's promise again!

"That's it. Next issue, Chase said at last.

Olivia was so pissed out that her heart rate accelerated; rage was pounding in her like a drumbeat at this mement.

She said indifferently. "The second issue is regarding the leading role. We have the choice to select an artist of our own to play the leading role.

"We are at a disadvantage now. We can only rely on the celebrity's reputation to drive popularity and increase box office performance. Therefore, I suggest that this leading role be played by our company's leading celebrity, Elena."

Olivia's remarks were enough to prove that she understood the overall situation well enough. She had taken appropriate measures based on the situation.

Olivia did not like Elena very much. But now, she could not find a better candidate than Elena.

This was because Elena was the most famous artist they had who had the best acting skills.

No one was more suitable than her People at the scene agreed with Olivia's suggestion.

Word had it that Elena would get this lead role.

It seemed that it was destined now.

On top of that, none of them was willing to offend Elena.

After all, Elena was backed up by a lot of influential big shots in Golden City.

They nodded before a person cut in. "Not only will Elena lead in the movie, but we will also have to spend a lot of money to invite some other famous celebrities so to boost the movie's popularity. Of course, we can discuss these candidates later."

Since everyone agreed to this proposition.

Olivia nodded mutely. At the same time, she could not help but look at Chase.

However, this glance and his antisequent reply got her goosebumps all over her body.

Chase was showing a teasing smirk as he responded, "We can discuss the candidate for the lead role later. It's not urgent. Next issue, please!

Resentment was blossoming within her at a rapid speed!

She defended Chase and came up with various excuses for him out of goodwill!

But look at this ungrateful brat!

He did not even know that she was helping him!

Otherwise, why did he go against her suggestion each time?

Did he have fun trying to rebuke her?

Couldn't he just shut up and do as she said?

She was a fool to even try to help this b*stard!

"Tell me, why can't it be Elena?" Oliviamasked angrily.

Chase whispered, "I didn't say that she can't play the role. What I said was we can discuss it later. If I tell you that I want to blackmail her with this role, would you

believe it?"
