Chapter 1172
Cornelia said, âZack, donât spout off about stuff youâre not sure about, ok? You got my hopes up for nothing.â Zack quickly replied, âAre you saying I let you down? Actually, thereâs even better stuff on the horizon for us.â
Cornelia asked, âWhat stuff?â
Zack answered, âCheck your WhatsApp. I sent you a screenshot.â
Cornelia looked and saw a chat log between Zack and several others.
Zack continued, âYou see?â
Cornelia exclaimed in surprise, âHannahâs influence is huge!â
Zack replied, âIn just a short while, several wellâknown production companies have approached us, wanting to buy the film rights to your comic. This includes Forver Entertainment, who weâve worked with before. They all seem very sincere, what do you guys think?â
Abigail said, â1 feel like, apart from Foriver Entertainment, the others are just interested because of Hannahâs fame. Online, a lot of people are saying Hannah wants to collaborate with Cornelia again. If they can secure the rights, itâs like theyâve got half of Hannahâs influence.â
Cornelia agreed with Abigailâs point of view, âI agree with Abigail. We should wait and see. Once the hype dies down, if companies are still interested, they must genuinely like our work.â
Zack said, âBut if the hype dies down, we might not get as much for the film rights. Once the buzz is over, there might not be many companies interested
anymore.â
Cornelia replied, âIâd rather not sell than sell to an irresponsible production company.â
Zack said, âAlright, itâs your work. Weâll follow your lead.â
Abigail asked, âCornelia, do you think Hannah really wants to work with you again?â
Cornelia said, âEven though sheâs a big star, without that label, sheâs just like us â a regular person. She might just like the comic, with no ulterior motives.â
Zack said, âWhether she has a motive or not doesnât matter, sheâs a public figure and her every move is scrutinized. And often, big starsâ moves have motives.â
Abigail said, âCould it be for publicity? Hannahâs new show, The Story of Nesiona, is about to air. Drumming up some excitement beforehand isnât out of the question.â
Cornelia said, âMany production companies and stars do that, but I believe Hannah wouldnât. Did I ever tell you guys I know Hannah?â
Abigail replied, âDid you? I donât remember.â
Zack said, âI canât remember either.â
Cornelia said, âWell, now Iâm telling you. Hannah and I have known each other for a while, and weâre good friends.â
Abigail joked, âCornelia, youâre cheating on me with other women. You naughty girl!â
Cornelia replied, âNot just Hannah, thereâs also one named Skyler, and another named Rosie.
Abigail said, âStop it! Iâm so mad, Iâm not the only girl in Corneliaâs life anymore.â
Zack said, âNow there are more people trying to snatch Nelly from me.â
Cornelia asked, âArenât we discussing serious matters? Can you two focus?â
Abigail said, âOkay, letâs talk about serious things. Has Hannah found out youâre âNelly Bellyâ yet? Whether or not she really wants to work with you again, we should let the rumors spread online. We can use this to increase our exposure and profit.â
Zack said, âI agree.â
