Chapter 2207 - 2207 Twins
2207 Twins
Thank you for your concern, Director Tian. Old Pan is already waiting for us. Lets go in.
Hearing Old Pans name, Tian Guang stopped being arrogant and followed Lin Heng into the private room.
When they arrived at the private room, Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jierou stood up in unison. h.e.l.lo, Director Tian. Ive heard a lot about you. Were really lucky to be able to see you in person today.
Only Old Pan did not stand up. He was still sitting and drinking tea.
Tian Guang exchanged a few pleasantries with Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jierou. When he walked up to Old Pan, his att.i.tude was much more respectful. Old Pan, Ive been rude! I was going to come early, but I didnt expect to be stuck in a traffic jam. I really shouldnt have made you wait! Ill punish myself by drinking three gla.s.ses later!
Seeing that he had given him enough face, Old Pan kindly said, Have a seat.
Tian Guang sat down and looked around before realizing that the person involved had not arrived.
His face fell slightly. Wheres Qiao Weiyang?
Oh, shes in a traffic jam. She hasnt arrived yet, Lin Heng said.
Hehe. Tian Guang was immediately displeased.
Shes the party whos supposed to be apologizing, yet she actually put on airs and was the last to arrive.
Lin Heng tried to smooth things over. Weiyang left home early, but who knew that the traffic jam would be so bad? Its always like this in Jingdu City.
Tian Guang couldnt say anything else, but his expression didnt soften.
Ill drink three gla.s.ses on behalf of Weiyang. Lin Heng raised his gla.s.s and drank it in one gulp.
When Qiao Jierou heard him mention Qiao Weiyang, she was displeased. However, someone needed to mediate tonight and take the blame for Qiao Weiyang. It could only be Lin Heng.
She was filled with resentment and thought to herself, She clearly knows that its an important day today. Couldnt she have come earlier? Shes always like this. She always has to get someone to clean up her mess!
After Lin Heng drank three gla.s.ses in a row, Old Pan and Tian Guang could not criticize Qiao Weiyang anymore.
Besides, Qiao Weiyang was not here yet, so no one could get down to business immediately.
Lin Heng poured the two of them some good wine to maintain the liveliness of the scene.
Old Madam Qiaos opinion of Qiao Weiyang grew worse.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone got a little impatient. Then, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
The waiter quickly opened the private room, and they saw Qiao Weiyang at the door.
She was wearing a denim jacket with a white T-s.h.i.+rt underneath. She looked simple and refres.h.i.+ng. There was nothing good or bad about her attire, but compared to how Qiao Jierou had dressed tonight, it could be seen how casual she was.
Not only did Qiao Jierou put on light makeup, but she was also wearing a very formal black dress. This meant that she respected and valued the people here.
Old Pan and Tian Guang glanced at Qiao Weiyang unhappily.
Weiyang, youre finally here! The traffic jam was very bad, right? Lin Heng pulled out a chair for her.
There was no traffic jam today.
Qiao Weiyang said casually.
Everyone:
If not for Old Pan, Tian Guang would have left on the spot.
On account of the Qiao and Lin families, Old Pan did not think of leaving and endured Qiao Weiyang.
Its good that youre here. Director Tian, lets talk about todays business, Old Pan said. Its not easy to film a movie. As for the movie theaters, we cant be too stuck in our ways. People should leave a way out for each other. What do you think?
Tian Guang shook his head and said, Its not that Im insisting on doing this. Ask Qiao Weiyang. Previously, my daughter was an endorser of GK. In the end, she found out that there was something wrong with GK. But was there really something wrong with GK? Someone clearly reported it on purpose and framed my daughter! This matter blew up so much that it affected my daughter and the brand. This matter is really too big! Otherwise, even if I wanted to do something to Qiao Weiyang, it would be impossible with my strength. She has offended too many people!
His words attributed all his ambitions to Qiao Weiyangs mistake.
Yes, yes, yes. Its indeed Weiyangs fault. Weiyang, you heard it too. Director Tian isnt making things difficult for you on purpose. Youre the one who did something wrong first. Tonight, Ill be a witness and give you a chance to bury the hatchet. What do you think? Old Pan said with a smile.
Qiao Weiyang asked calmly, Must this matter end with my apology?
Youre in the wrong here. Naturally, you have to apologize, Old Madam Qiao said immediately.
So if I dont apologize, my movie will only be released at that time and there wont be any extra screenings?
Tian Guang sneered and did not say anything.
With the success of his previous movies, he was now very ostentatious in the industry. The investors behind him were also dedicated to supporting him.
Otherwise, Old Pan wouldnt be showing him some respect.
In this industry, results were everything.
What are you talking about? Old Madam Qiao said unhappily. Theres only one good release date for the entire summer vacation. If you postpone the movies release and miss Qixi Festival, who will come to watch your movie?
What if the movie is released early? Qiao Weiyang asked.
These words stumped everyone present.
If it was released early, it would be in July, which was still summer vacation.
Summer vacation was not a particularly good time, but it was one of the few good periods in a year. People wanted to watch movies when they were in a leisurely mood. It was easier to achieve results during such periods.
Otherwise, everyone would not be fighting so hard for the same screening period.
This Old Madam Qiao was stumped and glanced at Tian Guang.
If the movie was really released in advance, it would not clash with Tian Guangs movie, right?
The movie theater managers were willing to arrange more than 70% of the screenings for Tian Guang and ignore other movies. However, it was impossible for them to disrupt the rest of their screening schedule for Tian Guang.
The movie theaters also had to earn money. Of course, whoever sold the most tickets during the summer vacation would be the one who earned the most.
Tian Guang sneered. Its not impossible to release your movie in advance. But let me ask you, are you ready? Are you done with the post-production?
Old Madam Qiao didnt know much about this industry. When she heard Tian Guangs words, she understood why the movie couldnt be put out in advance.
It turned out that the post-production of the movie was not completed.
She had heard from Qiao Jierou that this was a historical movie. It would be much more difficult to edit it in the later stages.
In other words, Tian Guang was considered lucky. The release of White Fox could not be brought forward and had no choice but to be released on Qixi Festival, which meant that he could suppress it.
Otherwise, even if he wanted to suppress the movie, there wouldnt be so many people cooperating with him.
He had used the right time, place, and people to subdue Qiao Weiyang.
Old Madam Qiao hurriedly said, Weiyang, you definitely cant bring it forward, and its not feasible to postpone it.
