Chapter 166: The Special Effects Company Breached Contract

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Xiao and Chu An were discussing variety shows and television dramas in her office. They were even thinking about investing in a movie.

Just as the two of them decided to try filming a movie, someone knocked on the office door hurriedly.

In fact, they could feel that the person who knocked on the door seemed to want to calm himself down a little, but perhaps the matter was too urgent, so he had to be anxious.

Gu Xiao and Chu An looked at each other and stopped talking.

“Come in,” Gu Xiao said to the door.

With Gu Xiao’s approval, the person outside pushed open the door and hurried in.

“President Gu! The special effects outsourcing company that we contacted previously has called to inform us that they don’t have enough time and their company can’t accept our orders anymore! Even the other special effects companies have expressed that they don’t want to work with us!”

The person’s expression was not very good. His hands that were by his side were also making some small movements uneasily.

Gu Xiao raised her hand to comfort the person. “Tell me slowly. Other than this, is there anything else?”

The person’s expression froze and he lowered his head timidly.

“1 don’t know who spread the news about the special effects company, but some of the actors from Time Fall and Ninth Abyss are now requesting to terminate the contract.”

“Time Fall” was a modern day drama that did not require many special effects, but “Ninth Abyss” was a fantasy drama. There were too many things that required special effects.

When many actors heard the news, they were worried that the television drama they had worked so hard to film would not be able to take shape which would waste their time as well, so they wanted to terminate the contract and find other opportunities.

“How’s the situation on the set?”

Seeing Gu Xiao’s calm expression, the staff, who was originally a little worried, gradually calmed down.

“There aren’t many people who want to terminate the contract, but the atmosphere on the set is very impetuous now. Even those actors who are willing to stay are a little affected. The director said that even if we continue the filming, the results wouldn’t be very good either.”

Gu Xiao asked a few more questions and understood the general situation before letting the staff leave.

After the office door was closed again, Gu Xiao looked at Chu An, who wasn’t far away.

“What do you think about this?”

Chu An’s body relaxed as he leaned against the back of the chair. He didn’t seem very worried about the current situation.

Supporting his chin with his hand, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, “The special effects should be Ji Gao’s doing. As for the person who released the news so that the actors would want to terminate the contract, it should be the result of Huang Tu’s operations.”

Although the Ji Group had a wide distribution of businesses and seemed to be involved in everything, the Ji Group relied on computer software and hardware to make the bulk of their fortune. Especially now, the Ji Group could be said to be the top existence in the country in terms of computer hardware.

The special effects company had very high requirements for these software and hardware. If Ji Gao threatened them with the Ji Group’s products, the special effects company might very likely choose to agree.

As for Huang Tu, as long as they could come up with more tempting resources, there was no fear that those actors wouldn’t break the contract with them.

In the end, it was still because their company was too weak.

Chu An looked up at Gu Xiao. “What does Xiaoxiao plan to do now?”

According to the current situation, the filming could only stop for the time being. Only after finding replacement actors and stabilizing the morale of their crew, would they be able to start filming normally.

As for the special effects, it would probably be a little difficult to resolve.

Gu Xiao did not speak. She subconsciously tapped her index finger on the table, which was especially loud in this silent office.

“I’m afraid Ji Gao and Huang Tu are trying to stall us,” Gu Xiao said calmly.

After all, they still had two television dramas that was still filming. Although one television drama had already been filmed, it was still waiting for post-production, special effects, and editing. This series could only be broadcasted after it was completed.

If all three parties caused a delay at this time, then the financial flow of their company’s funds would…

After that, Ji Gao and Huang Tu would pressure them together. Their newly established company would probably collapse here.

As the CEO of a company, Ji Gao naturally understood the importance of financial flows. That was why he could think of such a way to deal with them..
