Chapter 840:
Vienna raised her gaze, her sharp eyes scanning the room. The murmurs died instantly as she leaned forward slightly.
“I’ve reviewed the trailers, the data, and the projections,” she began, her voice measured but firm. “And I’ve decided the prime viewing slots will go to Wandering World.”
The room froze, stunned by her unexpected decision.
“Wandering World?” someone blurted out incredulously. “Ms. Hobbes, are you serious?”
Vienna’s assistant leaned in close and whispered, “Ms. Hobbes, End of the Earth offers us a much larger revenue share. If it becomes a hit, the bonuses for all of us could be substantial.”
Vienna’s gaze was steady as she responded, “I’ve analyzed these films thoroughly. I guarantee that Wandering World will be a real hit!”
The room stayed silent, but the reluctance on the executives’ faces was palpable. The deputy director finally spoke.
“Vienna, our company’s performance is already on shaky ground. This decision could significantly impact our future. Are you sure you want to go against public opinion and risk everything?”
For years, he had been waiting for an opportunity to undermine Vienna and claim her position.
Vienna stood her ground, her voice unwavering. “I have complete confidence in my choice. Wandering World will succeed!”
The deputy director squinted, his expression a mix of skepticism and satisfaction. End of the Earth was already projected to dominate, with most cinema chains offering it the best screening times. In such a competitive environment, audience momentum would naturally swing toward the film with the greatest exposure.
Others couldn’t feel at ease.
After the meeting ended, someone followed Vienna and asked, “Ms. Hobbes, aren’t your relations with Edge Entertainment quite strained? Why are you still helping them? If their movie flops, the deputy director will surely hold you accountable.” This person, one of Vienna’s supporters, was genuinely concerned for her. She had a good relationship with Vienna and was aware of some of her issues with the Johns family.
“I’m doing this for the company; it has nothing to do with anyone else,” Vienna replied calmly.
A few days later, the much-anticipated movies finally premiered.
Andrew, knowing that Madisyn had been busy over the past few days, had refrained from disturbing her. However, on the day of the premiere, he invited her out for dinner and a movie.
His car arrived at the entrance of her company, waiting quietly for Madisyn.
The luxury car, worth tens of millions of dollars, immediately drew a crowd of curious onlookers.noveldrama
