Chapter 576


    “Migration to Mars” was one of Pluto’s early works. Although it wasn’t as famous as “Wormhole” and


    his writing style was more immature in that novel its content was simpler to understand.


    The science fictionmunity regarded this particr novel as an entry into the rabbit hole as it did not


    contain an excessive amount of obscure knowledge, making it more ptable to the general audience.


    After assessment by professionals in the film industry, they estimated that “Migration to Mars” would


    be Pluto’s most sessful work, given that the level of production quality was simr to


    “Wormhole.”


    Nheless, “Wormhole” had set the bar too high, VisualBox had financial backing from Microworks


    Corporation, so they could afford to hire a top-notch production crew from Tinseltown and put the most


    realistic visual effects into the film. Other productionpanies in Caldor couldn’tpete on the


    same level.


    When Xavier was dreaming of making it big with “Migration to Mars, many of his friends had advised


    him, saying. “Instead of wasting money on a film destined to be a flop, it is better to sell off the


    copyrights and invest the money in other sound projects.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    However, Xavier refused to take their advice. “As long as I can secure sufficient investment and hire


    the post-production team who had worked on “Wormhole.” breaking even would be a piece of cake!”


    He found out through the grapevine that VisualBox had only invested around a hundred million dors


    on their post-production costs. Back when he still had Cody’s support, the marketing and promotion


    budget for an average film easily exceeded that amount.


    At Xavier’s insistence, the friends who genuinely cared about him could only fall silent. Because of that,


    Xavier presumptuously thought that he had sessfully convinced his friends.


    The fifty million dors promised by Frank was definitely not enough for Xavier. However, at least they


    could save money on post- production expenses, which was a significant reliet.


    “Did you check up on ‘Fantasy Utopia’? Is it well-known? Recalling his question, Xavier askedn.


    Although Cosmic Entertainment was involved in the film and television industry, it operated as an


    independent and separate subsidiarypany with a president of their own,pletely segregated


    from the artist management business.


    Before Cosmic Entertainment was beleaguered by financial difficulties, Xavier had never concerned


    himsell with the affairs of the film production department, nor did he pay attention to the local and


    international film market. As his assistant, the same was true forn


    In the eyes of others who worked in the film industry, it was unthinkable to have never heard of Fantasy


    Utopia. However, when it came to Xavier, it seemed perfectly normal that he had no knowledge of them


    whatsoever.


    “Did you mean… Fantasy Utopia is apany on par with Crescent Legend? Is that true?” Feeling


    excited, Xavier urged with anticipation.


    Beaming widely from ear to ear, the joy on Xavier’s face was apparent as he clenched his fists. “The


    company is saved!”


    Suddenly, Xavier seemed to have recalled something. With a dark expression on his face, his eyes


    glinted with hostility. “Tell your friend to hurry up and push for the money. It’s been almost a month but


    the money is st not in yet!”


    Although Ron hadmitted many crimes in the past, this was the first time he did something of this


    scale, like kidnapping a child. In fact, Ron wasn’t that concerned as he had been a scoundrel all his life


    andcked any sense of ethics. Besides, he suffered chronic brain damage from long-term use of


    prohibited drugs, so he would do anything for money.


    On the other hand,n was different.


    Although he and Ron were childhood friends,n studied hard and managed to get into university with


    his own efforts.
