Chapter 232: Chapter 232

Soun, the movie was released

This caused quite a commotion in Golden City.

David, Baxter, Tyler, and others booked the whole cinema.

They invited their subordinates to come over and watch it as a way to show their support to Chase.

However, all of them found the movie terrible after watching it.

Meanwhile, everyone in Lunanica Media was trembling in fear.

Well, not exactly everyone. Chase was not nervous at all.

He was making tea nonchalantly. Olivia was annoyed at the sight of it.

While everyone was concerned about the box office, he was making tea!

"Do you not have the slightest care for the box office?" Olivia

could not help asking.

"Why should It Their acting is terrible. Whoever watches it is silly, Chase answered.

Olivia was speechless.

At that moment, words seemed to have failed her!

He should just go to hell!

In the middle of the night, Lunanica Media was still operating.

The data of the box office for the first day was in its final stage of calculation.

The entire Lunanica Media was stunned at the results!

Eighty thousand yuan.

This movie premiered across the country. However, even at the hottest period, it only sold for eighty thousand yuan!

"Terrible' was definitely an understatement.

It was practically the worst movie in history.

On the Internet, there were a lot of bad reviews of the movie. Everyone who watched it criticized it. This was an unprecedented situation.

The audience gave one-star reviews on Facebook.

Lunanica Media was utterly devastated at the data.

They produced one of the weirdest and most terrible movies in the history of local films:

Lunanica Media was definitely in the hall of shame because of the movie.

Early the next morning, Chase was told to attend the shareholders meeting.

Even an idiot would know what kind of verbal criticism Chase would receive.

He was the one who started this fire; hence, he was going to be one who took all the blame!

He must pay for the sin and shame he brought upon Lunarica Media. He should shoulder all this alone.

When Chase entered the meeting room, it was total chaos.

Data and bad reviews from the movie were displayed on the widescreen.

Among the negative reviews, some experts even mentioned Lunanica Media by name and reprimanded them for being so boldly audacious.

All these happened thanks to Lucas's invitation letters.

At this moment, he was sitting on the chair comfortably, feeling very proud of himself.

His every move was like a sharp knife that stabbed onto Chase!

There were more ruthless ones waiting ahead of him.

"The meeting will begin now, Olivia presided over the meeting.

Lucas straightened his body and said to Olivia, Miss Ching, I think it's not appropriate for you to preside over the meeting again today. I'm afraid you will be biased."

The shareholders nodded in one accord, "That's right! Miss Ching, we respect you, but please respect us too! It's true that we are here for a meeting today, but to weed out a fool before he does more damages to our company!"

Olivia looked at Lucas coldly and asked, "So what do you suggest?"

"Perhaps, I can chair this meeting on your behalf Fellow shareholders, what do you think Lucas stood up and asked The shareholders agreed in unison Olivia frowned.

Everything that was happening now seemed to be planned.

And Lucas was the mastermind behind it.

He was looking for chances to pull down Chase and forced him to resign. Olivia was convinced that he had more tricks up his sleeves.

'Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhang." Chase responded from the side.

Olivia did not make any further comment since Chase had agreed to it.

Lucas cleared his throat and pointed at the LED screen on stage. The box office results as of yesterday have been released. I think all of you must have seen it. It can only be described in one word, terrible.

"And all of this was because of Director Lu's decision. Therefore, I'd like to point out Director Lu's shortcomings on behalf of the shareholders today."

Lucas looked at Chase and chortled, his eyes sparkling with evilness.

The show was about to begin!

"Director Lu's first mistake was related to the contract he signed! He did not put in any effort in shooting and editing the movie!

His instructions were simply misleading which eventually brought us to the chaos we are in now! Lucas accused in a deep voice.

His voice was so captivating that it resonated with every

shareholder present!

"From the very beginning, Director Lu went behind our backs and signed such a humiliating agreement with Henderson Media, causing our company to waste 50 million yuan in vain!"

Then, despite knowing that our company does not have the capacity to produce a film, he went on to use our in-house directing team to shoot the movie.

Lucas began to strode around the room as he spoke, "During the post-production phase, a layman like him even went off the scene to instruct the editors blindly. As a result, our movie has completely become the laughing stock of the industry. We are but a joke for everyone to see now. Our reputation has plummeted!"

Lucas listed down each of Chase's shortcomings. It was obvious that he had prepared his script in advance.

"Would you like to explain yourself for the chaos. Director Lu?" Lucas asked.

Chase shook his head and answered, "I admit it. You may continue.

Lucas was startled. He would admit it?

Wouldn't he even fight back?

Was he trying to play the sympathy card?

Hmph, Lucas would not let Chase have his way!

Lucas calmed himself down and continued, "Now onto the second mistake. I just got the news. For some unknown reasons, the Golden City Pharmaceutical Association has had its attention on our movie. They strongly condemn us and are going to pursue this matter. They claim that we have tarnished the doctor's image!

This sentence caused an uproar at the scene!

The Pharmaceutical Association?!

If the Pharmaceutical Association, which had an enormous influence in Golden City, got involved in this matter, then Lunanica Media would really be put in a tight spot!

Everyone glowered at Chase and rebuked. "It's all because of you! Even if you take the blame and resign for the failure of this movie, we won't let you off the hook!"

"Our company is going down! All of us will have to pay for your ignorance and stupidity!" a middle-aged lady screamed.

Another man rose up and roared, "How dare this young man take over the company? I have been wanting to give him a good beating a long time ago!"

"Silence! Director Lu, do you have anything to say?" Lucas asked Chase.

Chase shook his head.

Lucas was extremely pleased.

He cheered inwardly, "Hahaha, I'm so brilliant!"

Lucas had specifically sent the invitation letters to the vice chairman and personnel who were of higher ranks in the Golden City Pharmaceutical Association All of these to magnify the repercussions!

The people of Golden City would be in reverence at the mention of the Golden City Pharmaceutical Association!

Let alone Lunanica Media.

It was impossible for Chase to escape this time. He could only take all the blame!

Olivia, who was on the side, looked ghastly.

She did not expect that the Pharmaceutical Association would get involved. Things was going under at a rate she did not expect.

However, Lucas...

He must be the one fanning the flames.

She had reminded Chase that Lunanica Media's internal management was extremely complicated. He just did not believe it!

Now, he had to reap what he had sown!

Lucas calmed the scene again as he showed a smirk. He then threw another ticking bomb!

"The third mistake. Director Lu once again ignored the shareholders' opinions and signed a renewal agreement with ten extremely lousy actors from our company. The penalty amount for each of them was set for as much as 50 million yuan! That adds up to...

He paused for a while before he continued. "Five hundred million yuan!"
