KEEP WAITING FOR YOU - Season 36 Episode 47

“That’s true.” It was true that they were considerate of him having a good New Year, so Han Zhuoli agreed with it.

“So what does CEO Wang want to talk about this time?” asked Han Zhuoli.

“CEO Han, your showtime scheduling for ‘Lost Detective’ and ‘Sky Mechanical City’, shouldn’t you increase it?” asked CEO Wang.

“Then, will you increase the showtimes of Dimensions, too?” said Han Zhuoli immediately.

CEO Wang chuckled dryly and said, “CEO Wang, there’s no other choice. It’s because the popularity of ‘Lost Detective’ and ‘Sky Mechanical City’ is too high, and the pre-sales were good, that’s why they have so many showtimes.”

“‘Dimensions’ is the number one on the watch list for the New Year Season on the ticketing app, and you’re talking about popularity and pre-sales with me?” Han Zhuoli sneered. “If you want more showtimes for ‘Lost Detective’ and ‘Sky Mechanical City,’ you guys have to show your sincerity as well.”

“For this matter, let’s treat it as a trade. We’ll give ‘Lost Detective’ and ‘Sky Mechanical City’ the same amount of showtimes you give ‘Dimensions’,” said Han Zhuoli.

CEO Wang wanted to scold someone.

Was that equal?

We did not give ‘Dimensions’ one percent of the showtime!

“I only have this one request, go back and discuss it with the others,” said Han Zhuoli, “I’m hanging up.”

Without waiting for CEO Wang to respond, Han Zhuoli hung up.

Clearly, that group of people did not want to give ‘Dimensions’ a chance.

So after hanging up, CEO Wang did not call again to continue his discussion with Han Zhuoli.

However, it was also because they knew that this was Han Zhuofeng’s movie, so there was no need to fight with Han Zhuoli.

They decided to just compete.

With the two cinemas combined, they had a chance to win against the Han Corporation’s cinema.

Now they had to look at the movies’ individual skills to increase box office sales.

However, Han Zhuoli’s suggestion made it seem like ‘Dimensions’ was at a disadvantage.

If the two cinemas increased the number of showtimes for ‘Dimensions’, the Han Corporation would also increase the number of showtimes for those two movies.

In terms of the proportion of showtimes, those two movies would definitely be higher than ‘Dimensions’.

But in reality, those two movies were not working together.

Those two movies were also competitors with each other.

Due to that, if the showtimes of the two movies were calculated separately, they still could not beat ‘Dimensions’.

This was also why CEO Wang and the others did not accept Han Zhuoli’s suggestion.

Because that way, ‘Dimensions’ would be the movie with the highest proportion of showtimes.

As such, they would rather combine the two cinemas to fight with the Han Corporation’s cinema.

That way, the two movie’s showtimes would be almost the same as the showtimes of ‘Dimensions’.

The Han Corporation was ruthless enough to increase the showtimes of ‘Dimensions’ to such a great extent.

In the Han Corporation. it was almost like the two movies had no showtime.

The showtimes of the two movies in those two cinemas were a lot combined.

However, if they were separated, either one would not be able to compare to ‘Dimensions’.

It was only after the two cinemas were combined that they could be on par with ‘Dimensions’.

It could be seen how the Han Corporation overdid with the showtimes of ‘Dimensions’.

He didn’t hold back when it came to helping his own younger brother, there was not a single bit of hidden jobbery!

***

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Han Zhuofeng booked an entire cinema.

The Han Family, Xie Family, Wang Juhuai, Xia Qingwei and the Shi Family.

There were also the Yan Family and the Wei Family.

Yan Zhiqing was the main actress, and Wei Wucai did the special effects at a really discounted price.

As such, Han Zhuofeng also invited their two families to watch it together.

Anyway, the IMAX halls were huge, and even if so many families were together, there was still adequate space.

Besides, they were all sitting on gold-class seats.

The few families went to one of the cinemas of the Han Corporation.

Han Zhuofeng booked the IMAX3D hall.

Although Han Zhuofeng had already watched it. The netizens’ evaluation was great as well.

However, it was different since his family would be watching it.

It was like handing in homework,

Han Zhuofeng felt a little nervous.

He cared the most about his family’s opinions of the movie.

Before the movie started, they talked to each other.

Xie Jiling asked Han Zhuofeng, “When you’re walking in public, it’s not that easy to be recognized by someone, right?”

“Nope,” said Han Zhuofeng.

The three brothers often appeared on the news online.

However, everyone only saw photos.

When they saw the real person, they might not be able to match it with the pictures.

“Then let’s find a suitable time to watch it again. Let’s not book the whole hall. We should listen to the audience’s opinions as well,” said Xie Jiling.

“Okay.” He found Xie Jiling’s suggestion to be great.

At this moment, the hall’s lights went off, and the movie officially started.

Everyone stopped talking.

Previously, Xie Jiling went almost every day to Han Zhuofeng’s studio to watch them carry out the late stages of the movie production.

However, watching them work was completely different from watching a fully completed movie.

While they were doing the late stages of the production, they did it frame by frame.

It was choppy and did not look interesting at all.

Due to this, Xie Jiling did her own things most of the time and did not watch them work.

It was to avoid lowering her anticipation for the completed film.

After watching it this time with everyone, Xie Jiling’s mind went blank.

As a genius at B University, she was confused by the intellectually stimulating logic of the film.

Now, Xie Jiling started subconsciously started doing some deductive reasoning.

If it were so, what would happen next, then it would cause this, and the final result would be this.

Xie Jiling’s expression was torn, and Han Zhuofeng could not help but laugh.

He raised his hand and pinched her cheek, and asked, “What are you thinking?”

“I’m doing some deductions,” said Xie Jiling, “It’s so confusing.”

“Setting that aside, what do you think of it?” asked Han Zhuofeng.

As a genius, Xie Jiling’s IQ was definitely high.

“It’s excellent. Both the special effects and the plot. The plot was smooth, and the pace was good. As for whether there were any holes in the reasoning, I could not say for now, I have to go back and smoothen my reasoning first,” said Xie Jiling honestly.

Lu Man smiled and said, “Since Jiling can’t find any plot holes right away, the plot should be great.”

Han Zhuofeng thought that it was right and looked at the others nervously. “What do you guys think?”

Everyone expressed that the movie was great.”

Besides, it was not because they did not dare to hurt him and were sweet-talking him.

Han Zhuofeng looked at Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli.

Han Zhuoli nodded. “It’s really great. I feel a little regretful that the Han Corporation didn’t invest in the movie. It would have been nice to have Han Corporation’s logo on the opening title.”

Han Zhuoling nodded. “It’s excellent, you can rest assured. Have a little more confidence. This movie will definitely go viral.”
