Chapter 175 Maintaining Industry Order

Chapter 175: Maintaining Industry Order

Su Ran held the contract in his hand, his whole body trembling slightly. He repeatedly confirmed the contents in disbelief, fearing that he might have read something wrong.

Full responsibility for the film production rights of the entire Marvel Universe!

This was like a dream.

Su Ran took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He slowly put down the contract and swept his eyes over everything familiar in the office.

The ecstasy in his heart surged like a tide, almost drowning Su Ran. He stood up abruptly and walked quickly to the window.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Su Ran overlooked the bustling street scene of Los Angeles below. There were constant streams of traffic and flashing neon lights.

This city carries the dreams of countless people. And now, he, Su Ran, is about to become the most dazzling one among them.

The future seemed to be waving to him. Countless images flashed through his mind: the shocking scene of”March 87″ where Marvel superheroes gathered on the big screen, the grand occasion that made movie fans around the world crazy, and himself holding the little golden man on the Oscars podium….

Everything is within reach.

Su Ran took a deep breath, his heart filled with pride. He turned to look at the contract on the desk, his eyes gleaming with determination.

At this moment, a quick knock on the door interrupted Su Ran’s thoughts.

“Come in.”

Assistant Xiao Wang pushed the door open with an anxious look on his face.

“Director Su, this is bad! There is news from the Finance Department that our capital chain has serious problems.”

Su Ran was stunned:”What’s going on?”

Xiao Wang walked quickly to Su Ran and handed him a report.

“You see, because of the production and promotion of”The Amazing Spider-Man”, we have used up all our working capital. Now there is less than $1 million left in the company’s account.”

Su Ran took the report and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the tighter his brows frowned.

“this……”

Xiao Wang continued to report:”What’s worse is that we have a large loan that is about to expire. If we can’t pay it off in time, the bank may reclaim the mortgaged assets.”

Su Ran looked up suddenly and looked at Xiao Wang in disbelief:”How could this happen? Haven’t we recovered the box office revenue?”

Xiao Wang smiled bitterly:”Yes, but don’t forget that we have a profit-sharing system with Sony. Most of the box office revenue was taken away by them.”

Su Ran was struck by lightning, and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength. He slowly fell into the chair and covered his face with his hands.

The joy just now was gone, replaced by endless despair.

Xiao Wang looked at Su Ran’s appearance, and felt sorry for him. He hesitated for a moment, and still spoke:

“Director Su, there is actually another way……”

Su Ran raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes:”What can we do?”

Xiao Wang took a deep breath:”We can sell some of our shares and introduce new investment.”

“No way!”

Su Ran refused decisively, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

“This company is the result of the hard work of all of us. I will never let outsiders get involved.”

Xiao Wang wanted to say something else, but seeing Su Ran’s determined eyes, he could only sigh and turn to leave the office.

The room was silent again.

Su Ran sat alone at his desk, lost in thought. His eyes moved back and forth between Sony’s contract and financial statements, and his heart was torn between heaven and man.

Opportunities and challenges coexist.

Dreams are within reach, but seem out of reach.

At this moment, a familiar prompt sound suddenly rang in my ears:

“Ding! The host has achieved a major achievement. The system upgrade is enabled. New functions: fund generator, talent training.”

-The novel was taken from the (rolyz) website. Close where you’re reading it and support us on our website for more free novels-

Su Ran looked up suddenly, with a flash of disbelief in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the system actually woke up!

“Fund generator? Talent training machine?”

Su Ran muttered to himself, his mind running fast. If these two functions are really effective, then wouldn’t his current predicament be solved?

At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open again.

Li Mei, the HR manager, walked in quickly, her face solemn.

“Director Su, this is bad! Several of our core technical personnel have been poached!”

Su Ran was shocked:”What? What happened?”

Li Mei explained anxiously:”It’s Universal Pictures. They offered extremely generous conditions, and we can’t keep them at all.”

Su Ran’s heart sank when he heard this. The loss of core technical personnel is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Huanmeng Films, which is just starting out.

He tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath and asked:”How many people are planning to leave?”

Li Mei shook her head:”The specific number is still being counted. But based on the current situation, I’m afraid that more than half of the technical personnel will leave.

Su Ran was speechless for a moment, and felt a splitting headache. Shortage of funds and loss of talent, each of these two problems was enough to put the company in trouble. Now they appeared at the same time, which was simply adding insult to injury.

At this moment, Xiao Wang rushed in again.

“Director Su, something happened again!”

Su Ran looked up at Xiao Wang, his eyes full of fatigue:”What happened again?”

Xiao Wang’s face was grim:”I just received news that several major Hollywood companies have joined forces to ban us.”

“They threatened all the major cinemas that if they continued to show our films, they would terminate their cooperation.”

“What?!”

Su Ran stood up suddenly and looked at Xiao Wang in disbelief.

“Why do they do this? Isn’t this a monopoly?” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Xiao Wang smiled bitterly:”They are doing this in the name of maintaining the order of the industry. They say that outsiders like us have disrupted the ecology of Hollywood.”

Su Ran was so angry that he was shaking all over. He knew that the reason these big companies did this was nothing more than they were afraid of the success of”The Amazing Spider-Man” and were afraid that he would seize their market share.

But even if he knew the truth, what could he do?

Huanmeng Film and Television is now like a small boat, which may capsize at any time in the stormy waves.

And those big companies are behemoths that can be destroyed with just a light blow.

For a moment, the office fell into deathly silence.

Li Mei and Xiao Wang looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Su Ran slowly sat back in his chair, closed his eyes, and sighed deeply.

He knew that this was the cruel reality.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, success is often accompanied by greater challenges. The closer you are to your dream, the easier it is to fall into the abyss.

But he can’t admit defeat, he can’t give up.

Too many people’s expectations and trust are on his shoulders.

The livelihoods of his employees, the trust of his investors, the support of his fans………Each of these is a responsibility he must shoulder.

More importantly, it is his promise to himself.

The dream of changing the landscape of Hollywood and creating a superhero universe for the Chinese must not be shattered.

Su Ran opened his eyes and looked at everyone present with a firm gaze.

“We will not give up.”

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it could give people infinite strength.
