"Alright, Principal Ding, I’m on it!"

Zhu Youzhao nodded, stood up immediately, and went to gather the teachers and students according to Principal Ding’s instructions.

Director Su Yangfan had also planned to go with Zhu Youzhao, but Ding Yue stopped him, "Director Su, wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Su Yangfan, who had just stood up, sat back down and asked with a smile, "Principal Ding, is there anything else you’d like to instruct?"

"We have the means and capability to solve the special effects issue, but regarding the incident that happened this time, Director Su, do you have any insights? Why would Summer Light Shadow Special Effects Studio suddenly raise their price?"

Ding Yue looked at Su Yangfan with a puzzled expression.

As someone inside the circle, Director Su Yangfan might understand more about this matter.

"This..."

Su Yangfan wanted to speak but hesitated for a moment.

"Director Su, what’s the matter? Just speak your mind, we are all on the same side here. Aren’t you angry about whoever did something so detrimental to the ’Wandering Earth’ project?"

Seeing Su Yangfan’s hesitation, Ding Yue asked.

"This incident is indeed infuriating and speechless, but behind Summer Light Shadow Special Effects Studio is... is Q Entertainment Media."

Su Yangfan frowned as he spoke.

"You mean the Penguin?"

When Ding Yue heard Q Entertainment Media, he immediately thought of the Penguin, or more precisely, the Blackheart Penguin.

"Right, many people don’t actually know who’s behind Summer Light Shadow Special Effects Studio. In fact, it is Q Entertainment Media. On a larger scale, it’s the Penguin Group that dominates a large portion of domestic entertainment in movies, novels, games, and so on. They are very powerful, we probably can’t afford to provoke them."

Director Su Yangfan said helplessly.

In Xia Country, the Penguin Group is involved in various online entertainment fields such as movies, novels, games, and live broadcasting. Their influence is quite monopolistic.

In the film industry, ordinary people would generally not dare to oppose Q Entertainment Media.

"Haha, it’s just a blackhearted little penguin, after all!"

Although Ding Yue knew that the head of the Penguin Group often topped the country’s richest lists, the profits from the various internet entertainment sectors that the Penguin Group tapped into were all gained through incessant squeezing of original content creators and consumers.

"Principal Ding, you... you shouldn’t be talking recklessly. I suspect that our ’Wandering Earth’ project at Mist City Arts and Science University might have been targeted by Q Entertainment Media once they got wind of it."

Su Yangfan sighed and continued to speak helplessly.

"That doesn’t make sense. Up to now, we haven’t had any conflicts or competition with Q Entertainment Media or the Penguin Group. Why would they target us?"

Ding Yue suddenly couldn’t understand.

His Feiyue Group’s current industries did not seem to be in major competition with the Penguin Group or Q Entertainment Media, so there was no reason for Q Entertainment Media to sabotage their ’Wandering Earth’ project.

"Ah, well, Principal Ding, you might be too busy normally to know about this, I also heard it from a friend I had before."

Su Yangfan looked hesitant to speak.

Ding Yue knew that Director Su Yangfan must know more, so he looked at him solemnly and said, "Director Su, speak!"

"Principal Ding, here’s the thing, didn’t our Feiyue Media make a killing with ’Super Combat Team’ last time? This time, Q Entertainment Media somehow got wind that we, Feiyue Media and Mist City Arts and Science University, were working on a big-budget sci-fi film. The most critical point is that Q Entertainment Media was also making a sci-fi blockbuster this year, so they just..."

Su Yangfan trailed off and looked at Principal Ding without finishing the sentence.

Principal Ding instantly understood what he meant.

"So, you’re saying that Q Entertainment Media is deliberately giving us trouble because they are worried our ’Wandering Earth’ will clash with their sci-fi blockbuster?"

From what Director Su Yangfan had just said, Ding Yue could surmise the situation.

"That’s about the size of it; most of it is hearsay, without any concrete news to confirm," Su Yangfan nodded and said.

"Do we even need to confirm it?"

Ding Yue shrugged and said with a cold smile, "Once you mentioned that Summer Light Shadow Special Effects Studio is backed by Q Entertainment Media, I knew it. Isn’t this classic Penguin behavior?"

"That’s true."

Su Yangfan had no fond feelings for Q Entertainment Media either.

Because Q Entertainment Media follows the traffic-driven approach, valuing viewership above all, Xia Country’s movie and entertainment market is almost being led astray by Q Entertainment Media.

But Su Yangfan believed that when it came to film and television entertainment, everything was about quality!

Actors with acting skills, gripping plots, and top-notch production—that’s what made a TV show or movie stand out, not just hiring a bunch of popular stars and having clean and neat costumes and settings while relying on paid promotions to harvest fans and dominate the market.

"Director Su, just wait and see, sooner or later, the little Penguin will reap what it sows," Ding Yue said before standing up, ready to check on how Director Zhu Youzhao’s matters were progressing.

...

Meanwhile.

In Haicheng, the office building of Q Entertainment Media.

Q Entertainment Media, known as the strongest entertainment media company in the nation, the battleship of the film and television industry.

However, in the past two years, Q Entertainment Media had begun to feel some pressure.

Whether it was in TV dramas or in the movie sector, the impact of Q Entertainment Media’s productions was gradually being affected by some "miscellaneous troops."

Take, for instance, a TV drama produced by Q Entertainment Media two years ago, which ran into Su Yangfan’s "Transdimensional Contact" and lost a significant share of the viewership ratings.

Last year.

Q Entertainment Media invested in a sci-fi movie directed by Ma Wenhai, which was "Space Fortress," and it was a box-office disaster!

These two failures made Q Entertainment Media start to take notice of one person.

This person was Su Yangfan.

Setting aside the TV series he had killed two years ago with "Transdimensional Contact."

Last year’s sci-fi movie "Space Fortress" by Ma Wenhai had, in fact, lost to Mist City Arts and Science University’s animated movie "Super Combat Team."

Now, to make things worse.

The two had joined forces.

Su Yangfan had gone to Mist City Arts and Science University and reportedly became the producer of a big project, originally planning to collaborate with Summer Light Shadow Special Effects Studio.

But, I’m sorry to say.

The backing of Summer Light Shadow Special Effects Studio had already been taken over by Q Entertainment Media.

"Mr. Zhang, last time you mentioned Su Yangfan from Mist City Arts and Science University, now that he can’t find a suitable special effects partner, is he going to be in trouble?"

In the chairman’s office.

Q Entertainment Media’s chairman Chen Xueming was chatting with the general manager, Zhang Wu.

"If he doesn’t die, he’ll at least be skinned alive; it’s very difficult for him to find a special effects team domestically now," Zhang Wu said with a confident smile.

"That move is quite vicious," Chen Xueming said, pointing at Zhang Wu, teasingly.

"Who asked for Su Yangfan to be such an eyesore?" Zhang Wu shrugged and replied, "Not only did he sink one of our TV shows two years ago, but now he’s joined Mist City Arts and Science University that affected our investment in ’Space Fortress’ last year. Who else should we target if not him?"

"Just a minor director, is it worth it for someone like you, Mr. Zhang, to go to such lengths?"

Chen Xueming always felt that Zhang Wu was making a mountain out of a molehill.

It was just a minor director, and yet they were mobilizing so many resources to target him.

"My dear Mr. Chen, can’t you see this is killing two birds with one stone? Do you really think I’m only targeting that lousy director Su Yangfan?" Zhang Wu said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Chen Xueming immediately furrowed his brows and muttered, "You mean to say, no wonder, you’re incidentally targeting Mist City Arts and Science University, right?"

"Mr. Chen, if it wasn’t for Mist City Arts and Science University’s ’Super Combat Team’ last year, our investment in ’Space Fortress’ would have made an extra ten to twenty billion yuan!"

As soon as Zhang Wu mentioned this, he felt an itch of resentment.

As one of the investors in "Space Fortress," Q Entertainment Media could be said to have suffered losses on this film last year.

And one of the main reasons for the loss was that Mist City Arts and Science University’s "Super Combat Team" was too strong, directly squeezing the box office space of "Space Fortress"...
