At one o'clock in the evening, heavy rain fell from the sky, and lightning drew dazzling lights among the clouds. The wind was howling, and the sky seemed to have a big hole leaked. The pouring rain swallowed the world, and I could only feel the earth shaking.

When Gans appeared at the door, his whole body was soaked. Although it was already June, he was still trembling with cold. The fat man and I brought him into the room, asked him to take a hot shower, and then changed into a clean one. The guy gradually improved.

"Boss, we...we were fooled!" Gans shrank in his life, looking at me with tears in his eyes.

I took out a cigarette, lit the heat, took a sip, and asked, "What's going on, explain it clearly."

"The 600 cinemas in Los Angeles were full a few days ago. Although they have been affected in the past few days, the attendance rate is still two-thirds. These are true. However, this situation only happens in Los Angeles. In addition to Los Angeles, California, Nedava and the entire West, the First National Film Company, Bivorgraf, Fox, Warner, etc., which signed screening contracts with us, did not even let a movie go!"

"No one was let go?! Lao Ma's theater was not let go?!" I didn't believe this fact and asked loudly.

"They didn't even let go of a single match! I've never seen Lao Ma since signing the contract!" Gans's eyes were covered in blood, and he was hoarse.

I was stunned! Sitting on the chair, I suddenly felt extremely cold.

"Have you ever been shown a movie in Los Angeles and this downtown area?!" I was unwilling to accept it and asked the two of them.

"Yes!" the two people replied in unison.

"Of the companies that have signed screening contracts with us, only Universal has played our movies in all the theaters under its own theaters. A few days ago, Aisina suddenly stopped selling it for a day. Lightning Company only played one of the 215 cinemas in California and went offline mysteriously. The same is true for Callum. In other words, these companies that have signed contracts only show "Lust and Caution" in their theaters in Los Angeles. Only Universal has been the only one who has put money and theaters into practice! "The Fat Man concluded.

That is to say, if the situation is true, my movie is currently only being screened in 600 theaters in Los Angeles. In addition, only Lemmer's Universal will be released online.

I was fooled by these giants!

Why is this happening?

Logically speaking, judging from the benefits of these 600 cinemas in Los Angeles, almost every scene is full. Are the leaders of these companies unable to get along with the money?!

"Boss, I don't understand why Lao Ma and the others play us?! They have money to play our movies!" Fatty and Gans had similar thoughts to me.

"You ask me, who do I ask?! But since Bishop Frankenstein suddenly appeared, I felt a little abnormal. Now it seems that my premonition is quite effective." I smiled bitterly twice.

"Then you have to think of a solution! Newspapers and radio criticize us, and the criticism in society has increased. Now these companies collectively do not screen our movies. In this way, the future of DreamWorks will be ruined." The fat man became more and more anxious.

I looked at both of them and grabbed the phone next to me.

The first call was Fox. After calling for a long time, his secretary answered the phone and said Fox had gone to Europe to negotiate business. I asked when he would come back. The secretary hummed and said he didn't know.

I even called John Cohen, Sam Warner, Charles Rey, Todd Browning and others, and they all transferred it to their secretary, either that their boss was not there or that the boss was sick. Later, even the leaders of small companies such as Callum, Lightning, and Aisina had no news.

The more I feel, the colder I feel, and I can only place my last hope on Lao Ma.

After thinking about the phone for a few times, I heard Lenny's voice.

"Leni, is Mr. Marskolov here?" I said anxiously.

"No, Andre, is there something wrong?" Lenny asked.

"No, do you know where he went?"

"I don't know, I seem to be in the company, or maybe I'm on a business trip, so I'll ask you."

Lenny hung up my phone, called after a few minutes, and told me that the people in the company told her that Lao Ma was on a business trip and would not be back in two weeks.

After putting down the phone, I was at a loss. These people suddenly disappeared with me together, leaving me with nothing to do.

"No, we can't sit still and wait for death. Gans, call Jack for me." I shouted at Gans.

Gans called Jack into the room shortly after he went out.

"Jack, I'll give you a task." My voice was deep.

Jack straightened his back and shouted: "Boss, just give me the order."

"Don't you have a lot of people under your command? Starting tonight, divide them into groups and send them to the vicinity of the companies that signed contracts with us, and specifically follow their bosses and tell me the situation as soon as possible!"

"Boss, don't worry, I'll do it now!" Jack agreed, put on his raincoat and got into the heavy rain.

To be honest, I don’t believe that those bosses are really sick when they are on business trips like their secretary said. They are likely to find an excuse to hide from me. If someone is sent to keep an eye on them, they will definitely be able to find out their fox tail.

"Boss, what are we doing?" The fat man pointed at him and Gans.

"Fatty, go check the situation of Global Company. I want first-hand information, including their funds and the operating conditions of the company. Although most of these are confidential, you have to get it for me in every way. Gans, you are staring at Lemmer specifically to see what he has done."

Among so many companies, only Global has honestly fulfilled the terms of the contract, and may be able to find a breakthrough point in Lemmer.

I basically sent out the people who could come in handy in the company, but I was in charge of the office and commanded the whole process.

I couldn't understand what kind of torment this was. The only thing I could do was to smoke in the room and wait anxiously. Even Gith, Julie and the others vaguely felt something was going to happen.

At the same time, I kept calling various companies, and when I got the same news, I got it.

After three days of perseverance, I looked at the guy in the mirror with bloodshot beard and unshaven hair, and I really couldn't believe it was me.

On the afternoon of July 4, this silence was finally broken.

James and Howard, who were in charge of stalking Bishop Frankenstein, came back to report to me that there was something going on with the bishop.

"Boss, we found that the Bishop had been talking to a guy with a very good guy in the back room of the church for more than an hour this morning." James kept him in a silence.

I glanced at him: "When is it now! Tell me who it is!"

"The boss is Aikent from Mutual Aid Company." Howard said word by word.

"Aikent!? He has a hookup with the bishop!" I felt a little confused when I felt a little confused.

Almost all major Hollywood companies have signed screening contracts with me, but the mutual aid company has no one. Now Aikent has a close relationship with calling on the public to boycott the bishop of "Lust and Caution", which makes me feel that there is something wrong with the mutual aid company.

But Aitken and I have no grudges, so why did he harm me?! I can't figure it out.
Chapter completed!
