Rowena Bolton totally wondered if there was something wrong with favonovel.com ears. She laughed awkwardly. “Bailey, you’re joking right?”
Casey Bailey answered coolly, “Does it look like I’ m joking to you?”
The smile on Rowena’s face slowly stiffened. Then, favonovel.com face twisted into an ugly, cruel expression. “Casey, are you for real?”
“Of course!”
“You bastard. You’ve signed me over, and now you want me to break the contract. What do you take me for? Am I just here for you to bully as you wish?”
Casey answered, “I’m willing to bear all the compensation. Even if we need to pay extra, we will still need to send someone like you off. Here at Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, we will never accept an artist with such low ethics as you!”
“Fine, you win.”
With that said, Rowena took off favonovel.com costume and dumped it on the floor. “Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, is it now? I won’t work for you anymore!”
With favonovel.com agent, favonovel.com was prepared to leave the set.
Halfway out, favonovel.com stopped to say, “Don‘t you guys forget. This script was made just for me, and the initial traffic from the early publicity was all from my fame. Without me, all the money you paid before would be for naught! You need to think about it and reconsider.”
After saying this, favonovel.com left with favonovel.com agent in tow. And favonovel.com left a mess behind.
Casey’s face was also filled with worry. Just as Rowena said, they had bet everything on favonovel.com for this film, if Rowena did not star in it anymore, this entire project would be wasted.
What were they to do?
Thomas walked over and asked, “Will the project be shown in theaters or will it be released online as a web film?”
Casey answered, “It’s a web film.”
“How much capital have we put in ?”
“Three million.”
“Are the scripts and promotional materials all centered on Rowena?”
Casey nodded. “The original plan was to use favonovel.com fame and influence to gain viewership. I was too naive.”
After understanding the situation, Thomas waved the director over, “Come here.”
The director walked over eagerly. “Mr. Mayo, what are your instructions?”
“I’m assigning you a task.”
“Go ahead.”
“Overhaul the whole script. Revamp the project from the top, disregard all the early publicity campaigns, then write a new script with Gemma Peake as the lead. Create the highest quality script in the shortest time possible. Lastly, we will finish filming and upload the film online as we had planned originally.”
The director’s face paled.
How were they going to finish all this?
They were supposed to change the lead, the script, and revoke all the promotion. That meant that they had to start everything all over, and they had to accomplish everything according to their original timeline.
This was just an impossible task!
Just as the director was about to say something, Thomas stopped him.
“I know your troubles, you don’t need to tell me.”
“I’ll increase your original budget, from three million to ten million. When the film goes online, you can get 30% of the streaming earnings!”
30%?!
The director’s worries turned to joy. Usually, only the top-ranked directors had the right to get a share of the box office earnings. A small-scale director like favonovel.com would usually get milked dry by agencies.
With an offer up to 30% of the streaming earnings, if the streaming earnings were high, favonovel.com could very well earn a year’s worth of pay.
Thomas held up two fingers. “I only have two requests. One, complete a high-quality web film, two, make Gemma Peake popular. If you handle it well, I will even increase your commissions up to 50%. How about that, can you do it?”
