Chapter 396 We Are Still the Winner Even if We Give in to Him Once
"Understood, President," Bill nodded and got into another car.
Jack was certainly a man of his words and would keep his promise. However, even if the result of the
box office of Image was good, so what?
In the end, the winner would still be him, Jack Jiang.
Jack closed the door of the car and said directly to Anna, "I didn''t want to tell you about this asion. I
had my consideration. If there''s anything like this again in the future, just wait for me at home and don''t
show up here."
"Okay. I understand," Anna nodded. She knew that Jack must have his considerations. Since he didn''t
let here over here, it meant that this matter was dangerous in some way. And her showing up
might make things more difficult.
"What did that Director Huang say?"
"No tricks. Leave the market decision to the audience." Jack loosened his tie, "In thest few days of
the public release, the ranking share may change."
"You mean, you''re going to give in to him, right?"
It was true that Anna understood him the best. She understood his thoughts without him having to say
anything.
"Well, it''s also a kind of strategy. Even if I give in to him, Memories won''t lose. This movie means a lot
to you. I''ll make you win a lot of awards because of it."
"I don''t care if I win an award or not. The most important thing is that you''re happy. You’re the king of
the showbiz world and you''re in charge."
Jack reached out and stroked her long hair. He found that he was more and more dependent on her.
...
The box office of Memories was getting better and better every day. Andpared with the result of
the premiere on the first day, the result showed that this film had a lot of potentials.
Jack did keep his words and didn''t contact the theaters again to influence the number of sessions and
scheduling order. But the movie industry had foreseen the potential strength of this film as well as its
influence. So, without Dahlia entertainment’s stepping in at all, almost every theater did extra sessions
as well as put on many promos for it.
Such a good situation hadpletely exceeded Jack''s expectations.
As of now, the box office result of Memories had exceeded 100 million dors. And in a way, it had over
fulfilled its mission.
"Have you guys gone to see that movie yet? The one starring Anna Yan!"
"Is it enjoyable? I see a lot of people onlinementing that it''s a bad movie!"
"I regret not watching it. Anna Yan''s acting is superb. And she''s so beautiful. I must go to the theater to
support her."
"Really?"

After theizens saw those online reviews, most of them would wonder if Dahlia entertainment had
employed paid posters to help publicize Memories, which was a marketing tactic to trick them into
going to the cinema. However, some people were curious and bought discounted tickets, only to find
that unexpectedly, the film would bring them a shock far beyond what words could express.
All of them were convinced by Anna''s acting skills.
If Memories was the dark horse among the movies of the summer season this year, then no other film
could rival it.
"It is surprisingly good. I''ll regret not going to the theater to watch it!"
"I was nning to go to bed. But I didn''t expect that the film would be interesting throughout the
process. I simply don''t know what to say. And now I just want to know who the writer of this drama is.
It''s amazing."
"Anna Yan is my goddess!"
To add to the intimacy, the cinema also included a featurette from the set at the end. And the audience
could tell that both Anna Yan and Evan Morgan were very dedicated actor and actress respectively.
And the atmosphere on the set couldn’t be morefortable.
"I''m a 30-year-old adult. And I cried into tears when I watched the ending of the film."
"Anna is a breath of fresh air in the showbiz world, who ispletely different from those pretentious
actresses. I just love her and will never regret my decision."
In the eyes of her fans, Anna Yan didn''t disappoint them.
This was another myth created by Dahlia entertainment.
However, soon, the theater''s schedule changed. And the number of sessions for Memories decreased
drastically, with almost a third of them going to Image. But in terms of performance and reputation,
Image simply didn''t have many viewers and a high attendance rate.
Image’s statistic looked ridiculous.
Even a fool could see that it was the people behind Image who were ying games.
Many people who watched both movies at the same time voiced their thoughts on the inte, "Image
is a fan movie, which is only a theme song music video at most. And it''s shameless for them to get
down the number of sessions of Memories. Dahlia entertainment doesn''t even care to y such a low-
end game with them. I think they''re the ones who paid for those posts ndering Anna Yan in the past,
right?"
"Which other cinema has Memories on? I want to go and watch it for a second time!"
"Did you guys notice the tidbits in both films? Anna Yan suffered so much during filming. However,
those young actresses just stood there, looking silly and happy. How could they also be considered
actresses?"
In terms of fan range, Image did have a chance of winning and a strong fan base. However, after
Director Huang yed such a trick, the data of the final box office could only end badly.
The experts who had predicted that Image would be a hit were all contradicted.
Some of the people who were secretly authorized to adjust the number of sessions in the theaters
changed their minds as well. Although making money was very important, if they offended the
audience, they surely had no way to live on in the future.
So, a few hourster, the number of sessions for Memories returned to normal.
When Director Huang heard the report from his men in his office, he was so angry that he just smashed
the cup in his hand.
"Good. He''s anticipated this… "
Director Huang was wrong for being too arrogant. He knew fully well that the quality of the movie in
itself was not up to par with that of Memories. Speaking of the passing of Image’s review, they got it
done by bribing the rtive staff with a lot of money. Even so, in his opinion, with the fame of those
main actors, it wasn''t difficult to make the data of the box office and the film’s poprity look good for a
few days.
Director Huang angrily pped the table.
The assistant coughed awkwardly, "Chairman, we''ve verified to the theater side, who said that Dahlia
entertainment indeed hadn''t called them."
In other words, Jack Jiang didn''t y tricks.
Director Huang''s face became even darker. He thought, “How did it turn out like this?”
Jack had anticipated this oue. So he didn''t care about what their countermeasures would be. He
had seized the lead and whetted the appetite of the audience. Even if he did nothing now, the audience
would spontaneously walk into the theater for Memories.
Director Huang waved his hand, "Alright. Get out!"
He would count the experience this time as a lesson learned. He would do something even worse next
time if he had the chance topete with Jack Jiang!
The box office of Memories exceeded 500 million dors.
Anna Yan was once the most-discussed actress on the hot-searched list.
Netizens wondered which big shot on earth the screenwriter of Memories was?
It was said that the European and American filmmakers had bought off Memories’ copyright and
Memories would soon be yed on othernds.
As soon as Anna stopped her work rted to the propaganda, she received an invitation from an
international high-end magazine. After the magazine staff saw the photo of Anna being named one of
the most beautiful women in the world, they felt that Anna''s temperament fit the spirit of their magazine
very well. So they randomly wanted to invite Anna Yan in particr for a shoot.
