Chapter 173: Box office determines success!

Chapter 173 Termination of cooperation?

“To achieve this, we have to reach unprecedented heights in special effects, editing, music, etc.”

“I need each of you to give full play to your potential and go all out.”

Su Ran’s voice was sonorous and powerful, hitting everyone’s heart.

The meeting room was silent, and everyone looked solemn, as if thinking about something.

After a while, special effects director Li Qiang broke the silence and stood up:”Director Su, don’t worry.”

“Our special effects team will use the most advanced technology to create the most stunning visual wonders.”

“Guaranteed to amaze the audience”

“That’s right, our editing team will also fully cooperate.”

Editor Wang Fang also stood up,”We will definitely make the rhythm of the film more compact, the plot more fluent, and perfectly present your creative concept.”

Others also expressed their opinions

“”Okay!” Su Ran nodded heavily, his eyes shining,”I feel relieved to have reliable partners like you.”

“The days ahead may be very difficult, but I believe that as long as we work together, we can create miracles!”

“Please believe me and believe in yourself!”

“”Yeah” There was thunderous applause in the conference room. Everyone clenched their fists and waved them into the air. The belief of winning was written on every face.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open roughly.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes strode in with a gloomy face. His eyes swept over everyone and finally fell on Su Ran.

Su Ran frowned slightly and stood up:”Hello, who are you?…”

“Andrew Wilson, Vice President of Sony Pictures.”The man didn’t wait for Su Ran to finish, and said coldly,”Mr. Su Ran, I came here this time to announce something important.”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn. Everyone looked at each other, as if they had an ominous premonition.

“What’s the matter?” Su Ran asked in a deep voice, looking directly into Andrew’s eyes.

Andrew sneered, pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase and slammed them on the table.

Su Ran looked at Andrew who sneered and pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase and slammed them on the table, and suddenly an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

He tried to stay calm, looked directly into Andrew’s eyes, and asked in a deep voice:”Mr. Andrew, what do you mean?”

Andrew looked around the conference room and spoke in a harsh tone:”I’m here this time to announce a decision on behalf of the senior management of Sony Pictures. We have decided to terminate our cooperation with Mr. Su Ran on the”Amazing Spider-Man” project.”

There was a commotion in the conference room, and everyone looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

Su Ran stood up abruptly, clenched his fists, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible:”Mr. Andrew, with all due respect, this decision is a bit arbitrary.”

“《The Amazing Spider-Man has been completed and post-production is already underway. It would be unfavorable for both parties to suddenly terminate the cooperation now.”

Andrew snorted disdainfully:”Mr. Su Ran, you seem to have forgotten that the screening IP belongs to Sony. We have the right to decide who to cooperate with and the right to terminate the cooperation at any time.”

He pointed to the stack of documents on the table:”This is the termination agreement prepared by the lawyer. You just need to sign it, and this project has nothing to do with you. As for the materials that have been filmed, we will buy them all out, so you don’t have to worry.”

Su Ran’s face darkened, and he asked word by word:”Why? Why do you want to terminate the cooperation at this juncture?”

“Is it because of the controversy over the Asian Spider-Man?

Andrew laughed sarcastically,”I have to say, you are very perceptive.”

“That’s right, the top brass thought that it was too risky to have a Chinese director direct the film and have an Asian actor play Spider-Man. The box office would likely be affected.”

“So you decided to replace me and find an honest and obedient Hollywood director?” Su Ran sneered,”You are so cautious.”

“Mr. Su Ran, this is not a personal grudge. Andrew spread his hands and said,”This is just a business decision.”

“I advise you that a man of insight is a hero. You are talented and have a bright future. Why do you have to fight to the death on this project?”

Su Ran looked at Andrew deeply and said word by word:”Because this is related to my dignity and my dream. I can’t accept others pointing fingers at my talent and ability.”

He turned to look at his team with a firm look:”Everyone, I’m sorry, I dragged you into this dispute.” (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“But I promise you, I will fight till the last minute.”

“We started this movie together, and we must finish it together.

Special effects director Li Qiang was the first to stand up and said,”Director Su, we will always stand with you. No matter what happens, we will do our best to finish this movie.””

“That’s right, we are a team.” Editor Wang Fang also said,”Director Su, don’t worry, we will never give up halfway.”

In the conference room, there was thunderous applause. Everyone stood up and expressed their support and trust in Su Ran with actions.

Andrew’s face looked a little ugly, obviously he didn’t expect this situation.

Su Ran turned around and looked at Andrew, his expression frank and firm:”You heard it, we do not accept Sony’s request to terminate the contract”

“We will definitely complete and release this movie. As for the controversy over the Asian Spider-Man, I believe that speaking with the work is the most powerful response. Let’s wait and see.”

After that, Su Ran walked straight out of the conference room, leaving Andrew stunned and a room full of applause.

He walked quickly in the corridor of the company, his mind working fast.

He knew that the next few days would not be peaceful. Since Alex Films dared to make this decision, it would definitely find ways to obstruct the production of the movie.

He must plan ahead and be prepared to deal with it.

At the same time, he must speed up the progress of post-production and strive to complete the movie as soon as possible.

Only when the audience sees the finished film and when the box office proves everything, those doubts and controversies will disappear.

Su Ran suddenly stopped, and the grand occasion of the moment when the movie was released seemed to appear in front of him.

There was thunderous applause, and the audience stood up and applauded. He stood in the center of the stage, raised the trophy, and looked around.

At that moment, all the grievances and hardships will turn into tears and blend into the joy of victory.

He clenched his fists and said to himself in his heart:”Su Ran, you must hold on. For your dream, for all those who support you, you must fight to the end!”

Su Ran made up his mind and started again.

No matter how many thorns there were ahead, he would cut through them one by one until the day his dream came true.[]

Back in the office, Su Ran immediately called the top executives of Huanmeng Films to a meeting. Everyone could see the seriousness of the matter from Su Ran’s tense expression.

Su Ran said straight to the point:”Sony Pictures has decided to terminate its cooperation with us and ban us from releasing the film.”
