Chapter 546 - 545: Nathan Foster Is Still Single
Chapter 546: Chapter 545: Nathan Foster Is Still Single
Jackson Zane already knew that South Grant had resolved some of the cinema issues, but there were still some people who hadn’t resumed the screening of "Us."
The leading one was Young Cinemas.
That day, as Jackson Zane was thinking of other solutions, he heard some news.
According to an insider from Young Cinemas, their fire safety measures were inadequate, and now all cinemas under Young Cinemas need to cooperate with the relevant department’s inspections.
During this inspection period, of course, they would have to close for rectification.
Once closed, reopening won’t be that easy.
The thing these companies fear the most is governmental inspections. What does it mean to be compliant?
Only when the government is satisfied can it be considered compliant.
If it has reached the point where the government is inspecting Young, there must be something that doesn’t satisfy them.
This means that Young has had some bad luck, and all its cinemas must cooperate with the investigation.
All of them, nationwide.
It’s not just one city shutting down; all cities are shutting down.
This is a huge deal.
Young Group held an emergency meeting to discuss where the problem arose.
But after endless discussions, they couldn’t come to a conclusion.
At this time, someone casually mentioned if Nathan Foster, South Grant’s uncle, had something to do with pulling South Grant’s movie offline?
As soon as this topic came up, everyone started blaming Louis Young, saying he had caused the Young Group’s troubles.
This matter must be resolved by him alone.
Once the notice is posted, it won’t be resolved in a month or two weeks.
During this period, the financial losses will be tremendous.
All because of the movie "Warfire." Even putting in all their box office revenue wouldn’t cover Young’s losses.
Louis Young didn’t expect South Grant’s backing to be so strong. Still, he couldn’t believe it, so he probed a bit, only to find out someone high up was pressuring the situation.
Louis Young was sure it was Nathan Foster playing tricks.
Louis Young used all his connections to try to convey to South Grant that he understood the severity of the matter.
But it was to no avail; South Grant simply ignored him.
After hearing about Young’s situation, other cinemas were terrified upon learning why Young was being investigated.
Truly blinded by money, what’s ten percent profit from "Warfire"? If they get investigated like Young, then they would face real losses.
Luckily, they’re only going after those who stand out, and Young is bearing the brunt alone.
Moreover, "Warfire’s" box office is plummeting, often selling only one or two tickets per show, which is not profitable.
In contrast, Radiance Cinemas increased the screenings for South Grant’s movie, and they’re packed every day, earning a huge profit.
Many people were already envious; upon learning about Young’s situation, they quickly rescheduled South Grant’s movie. As for Rhiannon Grant’s investment in "Warfire," now it gets scheduled only once a day, and some cinemas have even taken it off the screen.
An unprofitable movie is of no use to them.
Rhiannon Grant was exceptionally angry upon hearing this.
Originally, her strategy was sound, but who knew Nathan Foster would intervene?
If it weren’t for Nathan Foster’s intervention, she could have ensured South wouldn’t recover, and South Grant would have lost everything, down to his last pair of pants.
However, now it’s her movie facing withdrawal.
Rhiannon Grant calculated the current box office; in terms of cost, there was a small loss, but after splitting it further, the loss increased.
Henry Grant knocked on Rhiannon Grant’s office door at this time, then Henry came in,
"Aunt, I heard several cinemas have taken our movie off the screen."
Rhiannon Grant was upset about this matter and didn’t want to speak.
"The man you chose, his background isn’t enough. Nathan Foster could bankrupt their company with just a flick of his finger."
This was beyond Rhiannon Grant’s expectations.
Henry Grant leaned in closer to Rhiannon Grant and said: "Aunt, I heard that Nathan Foster is still single nowadays."
