643 Chapter 643-intolerable
Tao Tao’s breathing was so loud that it attracted the attention of several colleagues who were discussing the topic. Su Min turned her head and said, ”
“You still don’t know?” Recently, Tao Tao had been so busy that she didn’t even have much time to go home. In addition, she had gone abroad for an interview some time ago. After she came back, she had been sorting out the manuscripts and going through them repeatedly. Su Min thought it was normal that she didn’t know about this.
on the United Kingdom’s online gambling site, someone made a huge bet some time ago. Under the circumstances where everyone was pessimistic about God’s salvation, they invested 500000 Yuan in it. If they bet on God’s salvation, they would win the big prize.
When Su Min said this, she was a little excited. At that time, the incident caused a small sensation in China, but it was soon washed away by the topic of ‘century-old filmmaker’.
Recently, it was brought up again because of the grand prize that the salvation of God won. It even caused a moderate storm in online gambling.
At that time, there were not many people who were optimistic about ” the salvation of God. compared to some of the world-class directors who participated in the ‘centuries-old filmmakers’ event, many people who participated in the bet thought that Chesare was not qualified.
Moreover, Jiang SE’s participation had become a variable in many people’s eyes. Hence, when it came to betting, the odds for ” God’s redemption ” were the highest.
There weren’t many people who bet on God’s salvation online, so Tao Tao’s 500000 Yuan investment made the headlines not only on the United Kingdom’s CBS gambling website, but also caused a sensation in China.
judging from the registration status of the netizen who placed the bet, it’s in the capital of China. Someone has already posted an analysis on the internet. Seeing that the topic had piqued Tao Tao’s interest, before their boss came out, a few colleagues poked their heads out and discussed, ”
“The person who placed the bet is either a fan or a team trying to hype up the movie.”
Su Min continued, ”
500000 isn’t a small number. As for the fans, judging from the registration location and the post at the time, there’s a high possibility that they’re Jiang SE’s fans. If it’s her team, it’s also possible that they’re trying to make ‘God’s salvation’ a hot topic.
Speaking of this, Su Min glanced at Tao Tao.
the ID of the person who placed the bet is translated to ‘peach’, ” she said as if she was joking, ”
“If it weren’t for the fact that we’re all paid, and I know that you’re not the type to spend so much hard-earned money, I’d have suspected that the person who placed the bet was you.”
When Su Min said this, the colleagues around her laughed.
In recent years, Tao Tao had become more and more valued in the studio, and her salary had also been higher and higher year by year.
She wasn’t an extravagant and wasteful person. After working for seven or eight years, it wasn’t that she couldn’t come up with 500000 Yuan, but this 500000 Yuan was definitely all she had. They were all ordinary blue-collar workers, and 500000 Yuan was not a small amount. At that time, when God’s redemption was not looked upon favorably, if an ordinary person had really bet all their money on that bet, they might have thought that she had gone crazy from chasing after celebrities.
While everyone was still laughing, Tao Tao was already trembling. She opened the United Kingdom’s CBS gambling website and mumbled, ”
“Sister su!”
Su Min turned her head and saw that there was something wrong with her expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“That’s me.” Her voice was a little soft, so Su Min didn’t understand what she said until Tao Tao raised her voice again and said, ”
“The person who placed the bet was me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a few colleagues who were still laughing in the office were stunned. Su Min stood up involuntarily. Because she was too excited, her movements even made the chair behind her slide back, making a squeak. She widened her eyes.
“What did you just say?”
Tao Tao saw her look of disbelief and added, ”
“I’m the one who placed a bet of 500000 on United Kingdom CBS website.”
Now, her colleagues in the office heard her clearly. Ignoring the expressions of the people around her, Tao Tao opened her personal account. The money she had bet on the movie had been transferred to her account. At that time, there were people online who were generally pessimistic about the movie, so the odds for the movie were high and the odds were low.
Her initial capital of more than 500000 Yuan had now become a return of nearly 6 million Yuan. When Tao Tao counted the ‘0’s in her account, her hands were shaking.
She clicked on the button to withdraw the cash to her account. Her colleagues ignored the fact that it was still working hours and gathered around her one by one.
The name on Tao Tao’s account was indeed the most popular person on the United Kingdom’s online gambling site. Even though the money had already been transferred by the user and entered the process, the previous gambling record in her account was still there, which was enough to make many people envious and jealous.
No one knew what they were feeling. The lucky girl, whom everyone had been talking about for many days, was right next to them. Su Min couldn’t tell whether she was jealous of Tao Tao’s ability to make so much money in just a few days or shocked that she dared to bet so much money on one gamble.
This amount of money was equivalent to everyone working hard for their entire lives. She was close to Tao Tao and knew that the girl had been saving money for so many years to buy a small house and have her own nest in the capital.
The reason she could save up more than 500000 Yuan was probably to pay the down payment for a house.
Now, with this five to six million Yuan, not only would she not need to take a loan for the house after tax, but she might also be able to buy a house bigger than her budget, or even a car.
“……”
Her colleagues had mixed feelings in their hearts. Tao Tao had not recovered from this huge surprise.
“I didn’t expect to be poisoned by the Kasaya either.”
On the online forum, the confident netizens who had placed their bets were cursing and swearing. Even ‘Nana’, who was the first to start the bet and was very active in the middle, did not appear. On the 26th, before the release of ” God’s salvation ” in North America, some people were even shouting that there was a shady deal in the’ century-old filmmaker’s ‘poll.
On the 26th, after the movie was released, no one said anything like that anymore. The only people left were those who were discussing the plot of the movie, the salvation of God, and those who were envious of peach, the biggest winner of the gamble.
“It’s really Tao Tao.”
“It’s more than five million! Tao Tao, you’re so lucky!”
“Treat, treat!”
“Tao Tao, you’re rich, Yingluo!”
“……”
Everyone surrounded Tao Tao and talked at once. Tao Tao was hit by the huge pie from the sky and was still a little dizzy.
The door of the boss’s office was opened, and the noise outside could be heard.
“What’s with the noise?”
Su Min was excited and was about to say that Tao Tao had won the big prize when she heard the boss say seriously, ”
“Don’t just sit around, something big has happened.”
Everyone was stunned, and Tao Tao also took a deep breath. The boss then said, ”
I just received news that in century Galaxy, Huang youran and his gang have already resigned.
The Dragon Travel Studio had been developing well in recent years, and the company’s scale was expanding day by day. However, its main focus was still on the entertainment industry.
The colleagues in the company were also very familiar with ‘Huang brimming’. He was a senior figure in century Galaxy who supported Tao cen. He and Tao cen were old friends who had known each other for more than ten years.
It would be fine if Huang brimming had resigned alone, but if everyone else was doing the same, it was very likely that something had happened to Tao cen.
Tao cen had been in century Galaxy for many years. In the minds of many people, she was more or less inextricably linked to century Galaxy. When ordinary netizens thought of century Galaxy’s celebrities, the first person they would think of before Jiang SE’s rise to fame was Tao cen.
Under such circumstances, no one would have thought that Tao cen would leave century Galaxy. If the boss’s guess was right, that Tao cen was really going to terminate his contract with century Galaxy, then it would be major news that would shock the entire Huaxia. It was no wonder that the boss’s expression was so serious.
In comparison, the news of Tao Tao winning nearly six million Yuan in gambling was not worth mentioning compared to the rumors of Tao cen and century Galaxy’s ‘breakup’.
the phone numbers of Tao cen’s manager, assistant, and related staff of century Galaxy are all in the line. Su Min, Wang Hao, you two go to century Galaxy immediately. The boss called a few more names and let everyone continue to call the relevant personnel. call the other celebrities and managers of century Galaxy to see if other people know about this news.
Once this news was released and confirmed, it could become the hottest news of the year that would cause a sensation in the entertainment industry at the end of the year. It could even fight for a front-page headline from the situation where ” the salvation of God ” dominated the screen. It would divert everyone’s attention away from the movie.
Jiang se also received the news very quickly. She knew much more than the media.
after Tao cen leaves century Galaxy, he will start another media company.
Mo Anqi said helplessly.
Time, luck, and fate.
Jiang SE’s movie had won the award of ‘century-old filmmaker’s best film’ due to the favorable circumstances and people. The box office response after it was released overseas was also good. There was even more publicity in the country.
Taking advantage of the rare momentum of ‘century of cinema’, in addition to the trailer released by the film company that made people’s blood boil, the music in the film had already spread before the film was released. The box office sales of the film had also broken historical records. The popularity of the hard-to-get tickets had made the film even more popular.
The industry insiders could even Pat their chests and guarantee that the film had the trend of reaching the top of the box office in China.
If news of Tao cen were to break out now and destroy this ‘momentum’, it would be difficult to gather them together.
Once the topic of ‘the salvation of God’ was interrupted and the audience’s attention was diverted, it would not only affect the audience’s enthusiasm, but it would also cause a huge blow to the box office.
Die-hard fans would still pay for the movie, and film fans would also willingly go to the cinema because of their preferences for movies. However, once the curiosity of some passers-by was diverted, the possibility of watching the movie was not high.
Unless there was another wave of hot topics about the movie to suppress Tao cen, the movie would eventually face a situation where it would start high but end low. It would probably result in Jiang SE’s first major overseas production becoming famous overseas while the response in China was mediocre. It would be a case of flowers blossoming within the walls and fragrance spreading outside.
Jiang SE’s current target was the International market, but her focus was still on the domestic market. If Tao cen suppressed her in the news, it would give the impression that her ‘morale’ was still being suppressed by Tao cen.
At this moment, it was too important whether Tao cen’s news would be released or not.
Century Galaxy knew the stakes involved and would probably think of ways to suppress this news. At least, they would drag it out until after the screening period of ” the salvation of God ” passed and the box office situation was settled. Only then would they reveal this news.
However, Tao cen was a smart person. Since she proposed to terminate the contract at this time, it proved that this idea did not come to her just a few days ago.
She must have thought about it carefully and only brought up this topic at the ‘most appropriate’ time. She then exaggerated the topic and used this opportunity to strike at Jiang SE’s ‘limelight’. She wanted to prove that her influence in China was still unrivaled.
The company’s plan might not be able to make her yield. If she cut off all means of retreat and confirmed that she had ‘broken up’ with century Galaxy at this time, it would be difficult to pull the topic back to the right direction.
“What do we do?”
Mo Anqi was at a loss for what to do. She was only an assistant, and the person in charge of this urgent public relations matter should have been Xia Chaoqun.
However, a few days ago, she had gone to France to negotiate an endorsement deal for Melovin on behalf of Jiang se. She was not in the country at the moment.
Tao cen’s request to terminate the contract at this time was too sudden, and there was no room for redemption. Even if Xia Chaoqun had received the Chairman’s reminder early on, Melovin had already negotiated a half-signed contract. It was not something that could be tossed aside just like that.
Once he threw it away, it would probably be like the Carolus shampoo, which would be taken advantage of by others.
sister Xia has already entered the stage of signing the contract.
Mo Anqi tried her best not to panic. I’ve already called him. He said that he’ll settle the matter as soon as possible and rush back to China to clean up the mess. Without Xia Chaoqun around, the team seemed to have lost their backbone.
Even though Xia Chaoqun had said over the phone that he would return to China as soon as possible, no one knew how long he meant by ‘as soon’.
Her top priority was to prevent Tao cen from exposing the fact that he had parted ways with century Galaxy. Mo Anqi knew that even if she wanted to stop this, she would not be able to do so.
The few assistants were flustered. Jiang se was still making preparations for the Chinese premiere of ” God’s salvation ” that night.
In contrast to the assistants ‘ugly expressions, Jiang se was much calmer. Xia Chaoqun had always handled public relations like this with ease. She did not need to worry or ask about anything that had nothing to do with filming. She only needed to focus on what she was supposed to do.
“Sese, what should we do?”
Mo Anqi bit her lips and wiped her face with her hands, trying her best to suppress her panic, ” “Sister Xia said that we should hold on for the next few days.”
On the production team’s side, chessaray and Donald were very influential internationally. However, in China, they were still not as popular as Tao cen. In the end, the one who could compete with Tao cen in terms of popularity was still Jiang se.
Her contest with Tao cen was not only limited to the movie, but also public opinion, popularity, and topic of discussion. She could not be suppressed by Tao cen.
“It’s fine as long as we can pull the topic of conversation back from Tao cen.”
Jiang se had already put on her makeup for tonight’s premiere. In the lounge temporarily prepared by the IMAX theater for tonight’s ‘main characters’, she looked at her flustered assistant and said with confidence, ”
sister Chaoqun said she’ll hold on. Did she say how big of a mess things can get? ”
