2207 Twins
âThank you for your concern, Director Tian. Old Pan is already waiting for us. Letâs go in.â
When they arrived at the private room, Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jierou stood up in unison. âHello, Director Tian. Iâve heard a lot about you. Weâre really lucky to be able to see you in person today.â
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 attitude was much more respectful. âOld Pan, Iâve been rude! I was going to come early, but I didnât expect to be stuck in a traffic jam. I really shouldnât have made you wait! Iâll punish myself by drinking three glasses later!â
Seeing that he had given him enough face, Old Pan kindly said, âHave a seat.â
Tian Guang sat down and looked around before realizing that the person involved had not arrived.
His face fell slightly. âWhereâs Qiao Weiyang?â
âOh, sheâs in a traffic jam. She hasnât arrived yet,â Lin Heng said.
âHehe.â Tian Guang was immediately displeased.
Sheâs the party whoâs supposed to be apologizing, yet she actually put on airs and was the last to arrive.
Lin Heng tried to smooth things over. âWeiyang left home early, but who knew that the traffic jam would be so bad? Itâs always like this in Jingdu City.â
Tian Guang couldnât say anything else, but his expression didnât soften.
âIâll drink three glasses on behalf of Weiyang.â Lin Heng raised his glass 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, âShe clearly knows that itâs an important day today. Couldnât she have come earlier? Sheâs always like this. She always has to get someone to clean up her mess!â
After Lin Heng drank three glasses 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 Qiaoâs 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.
She was wearing a denim jacket with a white T-shirt underneath. She looked simple and refreshing. 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.
Old Pan and Tian Guang glanced at Qiao Weiyang unhappily.
âWeiyang, youâre finally here! The traffic jam was very bad, right?â Lin Heng pulled out a chair for her.
âThere was no traffic jam today.â
Qiao Weiyang said casually.
Everyone: ââ¦â
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.
âItâs good that youâre here. Director Tian, letâs talk about todayâs business,â Old Pan said. âItâs not easy to film a movie. As for the movie theaters, we canât be too stuck in our ways. People should leave a way out for each other. What do you think?â
Tian Guang shook his head and said, âItâs not that Iâm 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!â
His words attributed all his ambitions to Qiao Weiyangâs mistake. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes, yes, yes. Itâs indeed Weiyangâs fault. Weiyang, you heard it too. Director Tian isnât making things difficult for you on purpose. Youâre the one who did something wrong first. Tonight, Iâll be a witness and give you a chance to bury the hatchet. What do you think?â Old Pan said with a smile.
Qiao Weiyang asked calmly, âMust this matter end with my apology?â
âYouâre in the wrong here. Naturally, you have to apologize,â Old Madam Qiao said immediately.
âSo if I donât apologize, my movie will only be released at that time and there wonât be any extra screenings?â
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 wouldnât be showing him some respect.
In this industry, results were everything.
âWhat are you talking about?â Old Madam Qiao said unhappily. âThereâs only one good release date for the entire summer vacation. If you postpone the movieâs release and miss Qixi Festival, who will come to watch your movie?â
âWhat if the movie is released early?â Qiao Weiyang asked.
These words stumped everyone present.
If it was released early, it would be in July, which was still summer vacation.
Otherwise, everyone would not be fighting so hard for the same screening period.
âThisâ¦â Old Madam Qiao was stumped and glanced at Tian Guang.
If the movie was really released in advance, it would not clash with Tian Guangâs 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. âItâs not impossible to release your movie in advance. But let me ask you, are you ready? Are you done with the post-production?â
Old Madam Qiao didnât know much about this industry. When she heard Tian Guangâs words, she understood why the movie couldnât 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 wouldnât 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, âWeiyang, you definitely canât bring it forward, and itâs not feasible to postpone it.â
