Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Celebration Party_1

"Mom, when you talk like this, even I can’t bear to listen." Chen Yuting had not expected Feng Lijuan to say such a thing.

How shameless can a mother get?

When she left all those years ago, it was because she despised Dad. The one who was truly hurt was Dad.

And now, Mom is making it sound as if it’s Dad’s fault.

Even though Chen Yuting, under the influence of Feng Lijuan’s teachings, had become materialistic, she still retained a basic sense of right and wrong.

She was very clear about who was right and who was wrong in this situation.

Just like the last time Liu Chao had Song Qianqian slander Shen Dong, she did not agree with Liu Chao’s actions and thought he was despicable.

If Liu Chao truly wanted to defeat Shen Dong, he should have done it outright, by strengthening the Huya Guild and overwhelming the Dongyan Guild. Only then would it be considered real skill.

Using those underhanded tactics that can’t see the light of day doesn’t count as skill at all.

And to make matters worse, they were even caught with evidence, which made it all the more disgraceful.

Although she had become the vice president of the Huya Guild through Liu Chao’s connections, she did not agree with him. After Liu Chao had done that, she even started looking down on him.

"Yuting, no matter what, you are my daughter, and you must stand by my side," said Feng Lijuan.

"Mom, I can’t persuade you, and I won’t help you. You’ll have to resolve this yourself," Chen Yuting quickly shook her head.

"You..." Feng Lijuan was very angry but could say nothing.

What else could she say? She couldn’t force Chen Yuting to plead with Chen Yuanxiang, could she?

If she pushed Chen Yuting too far and their relationship turned sour, the situation would only become more troublesome.

...

In the blink of an eye, "The Battle Tiger" had been in theaters for twenty-five days, with the box office reaching 1.49 billion.

There were only five days left before it was taken out of cinemas.

Based on the current box office trends, surpassing 1.5 billion was a done deal.

The daily box office was still bringing in three to four million.

This was twice the amount projected by the system, which was 500 million.

Shen Dong was looking forward to the day of the dividend. He should be able to take home several billion.

During this period, the lawsuit the Dongyan Guild had filed against Song Qianqian, the Huya Guild, and Wansheng Venture Capital had concluded.

The court ruled that Song Qianqian personally compensate Shen Dong two million in damages for defamation.

The Huya Guild and Wansheng Venture Capital were to pay the Dongyan Guild ten million in damages for defamation.

Song Qianqian and the Huya Guild were also required to issue public apologies to Shen Dong and the Dongyan Guild.

This verdict effectively ended Song Qianqian’s career as an internet celebrity, and she vanished from the live streaming scene.

The Huya Guild not only suffered financial loss but its reputation took a huge hit.

In addition, Doule decided on a punishment: no traffic support for the Huya Guild for two months.

This was a severe penalty.

Doule had contracts with various guilds.

The larger and more successful the guild, the more traffic support Doule would provide.

In today’s era, what is traffic? Traffic is money.

Without traffic support, the Huya Guild’s income for the next two months would be at least halved.

Based on the Huya Guild’s past earnings, this meant a loss of at least twenty to thirty million.

What was more crucial, such a punishment cast a shadow over the future growth of the Huya Guild, and the losses were almost incalculable.

Liu Chao and the founder of the Huya Guild, Pang Weizhi, were almost spitting blood with rage.

Pang Weizhi was beginning to resent Liu Chao, though he didn’t dare to express it.

Wansheng Venture Capital was the Huya Guild’s largest shareholder, and Liu Chao was the son of Wansheng’s boss.

Now, as the second-largest shareholder, he felt incredibly frustrated and regretful.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

"The Battle Tiger" finished its theatrical run, with the final box office tally reaching 1.501 billion.

For a movie that had an investment of only tens of millions, this was an extraordinary achievement.

Looking across the history of domestic cinema, there have been few movies with such a high rate of return.

Shen Dong was very satisfied with the result and was just waiting to divide the money.

Wu Jin had already notified him that there would be a celebration party in Hai City tomorrow, inviting him to attend and to distribute the funds then.

The celebration party was chosen to be in Hai City purely to accommodate Shen Dong; otherwise, since the other investors were from Jing City, it certainly would have been held there.

As the largest investor, without Shen Dong’s subsequent investment of twenty million, "The Battle Tiger" would not have been possible to make, let alone make it so well.

Therefore, no one objected to the celebration party being held in Hai City.

For the celebration party, Shen Dong naturally planned to bring Chen Yuyan along.

...

The celebration party was held at the Oriental Hotel in Hai City.

The Dongyan Guild’s first live stream collaboration with Doule, a merchandise sale event, took place at the Oriental Hotel.

At this moment, the entrance of the Oriental Hotel was covered with a red carpet.

Outside the entrance, many enthusiastic fans had gathered, and the organizers had already hired security personnel to maintain order.

"The Battle Tiger" was a hit, and Wu Jin became a rising star director.

Quite a few celebrities showed up, just to get acquainted with Wu Jin.

It was heard that "The War Tiger 2" was already in preparation.

Taking advantage of the momentum from "The Battle Tiger," the box office for "The War Tiger 2" was bound to be good.

If they could participate in "The War Tiger 2," it would be an opportunity for them.

Many journalists also came to the event, taking photos of those walking the red carpet.

One could say that this was a grand event in the entertainment industry.

At such a carefully orchestrated celebration party, it was natural to expect female stars to outshine each other.

In such cold winter weather, the female stars still wore very revealing dresses, shivering with cold, but that didn’t stop their pursuit of attention.

While walking the red carpet, the female stars would try anything to garner attention.

Some took forever to finish walking the red carpet, waving hands left and right.

Others deliberately fell down to attract attention.

One actress went even further; as she walked the red carpet, the strap of her dress suddenly snapped, revealing a bikini underneath, causing continuous screams from the crowd.

Wu Jin, who had just arrived with his wife and a group of staff, saw this scene and immediately felt displeased.

He had always been very against female stars using these methods to grab eyeballs, sullying the industry, and immediately said to an assistant beside him, "This person, do not let her attend the celebration banquet."

The assistant quickly set off to deal with it.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan had just arrived and saw this scene, Chen Yuyan chuckled and said, "Husband, I used to read the news and hardly believed it, never thought people actually use this way to grab eyeballs."

Shen Dong laughed, "Being famous means making money, so doing this is not surprising."

Chen Yuyan blinked and asked, "Husband, was it good-looking?"

Shen Dong feigned ignorance, "What’s good-looking?"

Chen Yuyan pursed her lips, "Hmph, I don’t believe you didn’t see just now, you know what I mean!"

Shen Dong laughed, "No matter how good-looking, none is better than you, my wife is the prettiest, with the best figure."

Chen Yuyan coquettishly huffed, "You pass."

Shen Dong smiled, looked around, and sighed, "This event is much grander than our last live stream sale event."

"Indeed," Chen Yuyan nodded.

The last live stream sale event also had a red carpet.

But the scene then was incomparable to what it was now.

There is still quite a gap between the live streaming circle and the film industry.

It could be said that the live streaming circle is just a mini version of the film industry.

As Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan stepped onto the red carpet, it immediately drew attention, with photographers snapping away.

There was no helping it, Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan were not stars, but their looks and figures were on par with them.

The couple didn’t greet the media or wave to the onlooking fans.

They just walked across the red carpet at their normal pace and entered the hotel.
