The bigshots had all decided in advance, on how they would have liked to collaborate on the project.
They did not even spare a glance at the contracts, before fighting to voice out their plans. “Boss Johansson, I’ll add
on one hundred million worth of investments. As for the share of the box office earnings, I’ll pass. Just decorate my
company’s name as the top sponsor for the project.”
“Boss Johansson, the artists under my company will shoot for this project, free of charge. I’ll fork out the
commercial fees myself.”
“Boss Johansson, I’ll handle the promoting, as well as the post-editing for this project.”
“Mr. Dawson, that’s not cool. This is a military-funded project. Why would it even need promoting? Are you trying to
gain the benefits without doing anything?”
“How could you say that? This film will definitely become international. What I mean by promoting, is promoting it
overseas.”
Lucius was elated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI don’t have to fork out anything, to earn huge box-office sales. I’m literally the most favored man, by the gods!
After everyone had finished signing their contracts, Zeke suddenly blurted out, “Guys, I have an important question
to ask.”
Everyone looked at him in confusion. “What question?”
Zeke asked, “If the project suddenly fails, are your contracts still effective? The investments you guys have just
made will go down the drain, right?”
Everyone immediately glared at him.
“Shut up. Don’t jinx us.”
“Hmph, other than making sarcastic remarks, you are an incapable man!”
“Boss Johansson, why are you still keeping him around? Drive him out!”
Lucius rolled his eyes at Zeke impatiently. “Didn’t you hear what they’d just said? Get the hell out! Do you want me
to get the security guards to kick you out instead?”
Mia looked embarrassed. “Let’s go, Mr. Williams.”
Zeke grinned. “The show is about to start. We can’t leave now.”
“You’re really stubborn as a mule.” Lucius rolled his eyes at Zeke again. Ignoring him, he started to discuss the
project details with the other bigshots.
Zeke turned to Mia. “Wait for me here. I need to use the restroom.”
Entering the restroom, he dialed Ryker’s number, using ‘The Great Marshal’s Special Number’.
At this moment, Ryker was waiting for Lucius’ good news, when suddenly, a mysterious call came in.
When he saw the number, he immediately sat up solemnly.
The number started with the ‘100’ prefix.
This was a prefix that only the five most senior officers of Eurasia had the right to use.
He hurriedly cleared his throat and collected his thoughts, before answering the call. “Major General Ryker Lewis
speaking. Ready for your orders, Chief.”
Zeke replied, “I’m the Great Marshal.”
What?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRyker’s hands trembled.
The Great Marshal, who was the second-in-line bigwig of Eurasia, even well-known overseas, had personally called
him!
This is such an honor!
He hurriedly greeted respectfully, “Good day, Great Marshal. I await your orders.”
Zeke answered, “I’d heard that you’ve entrusted Lucius Johansson to shoot a military film. As far as I know, he
merely has ownership, over a phantom company. A military film is related to the military’s good name and
reputation. Do you think that it’s suitable for a phantom company to take on such a project? Hundreds of thousands
of soldiers had exchanged their blood and lives for the military’s excellent reputation. This isn’t child’s play! If the
military’s reputation ends up being destroyed by you, how are you going to face your fellow comrades who’d
sacrificed their lives when you meet them after you’d died?”
Initially, Zeke used a questioning tone. However, nearing the end of his speech, his tone had turned into a tirade.
The hairs on Ryker’s neck stood up on ends.
Oh God, why does the Great Marshal have the time to worry about this all of a sudden?
If I end up offending him because of this, I might lose my life!
