The Return Of God Of War

The Return of God of War Chapter 451

Colin Shanks immediately doled out the punishment.

“What?”

Johnny Lerns and his gang grew infuriated.

We didn’t get a single cent, but we still need to be suspended without pay for three months?

Isn’t this a huge loss to us?

But this guy is someone powerful… so what can we do?

“Additionally, two movies from the Oriental Star Group have passed the audit. We’ll start showing them after three days!” Colin announced.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups from the audit department exclaimed, “We’ve never seen such a well-produced movie! This will be a huge hit!”

Zoey and her colleagues breathed a sigh of relief.

The person in charge of the National Radio and Television Administration grinned and said, “Ms. Lopez, are you happy with this result?”

However, Colin stared at Levi, who stood by the side.

“I’m pretty satisfied! Mr. Shanks really is amazing!” Zoey smiled and said.

“It’s alright!” Levi answered.

“Phew!” Colin breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn’t matter if anyone else isn’t pleased with the results; only her opinion matters.

Shanks Entertainment received the news in no time.

Meanwhile, Johnny’s investigation came to a dead-end because he couldn’t delay the release of the Oriental Star Group’s films.

They needed to release their movies three days later.

“Useless! You can’t even do a simple task like this!” Zachary Suarez was irate.

Niall Xander grinned. “It’s fine, Mr. Suarez. We already achieved the effect we wanted. They will definitely lose to us when our movies are released concurrently!”

“That’s right. The movies’ contents are identical, so they will definitely watch ours instead. Besides that, I already bought a lot of spots on the recommendations list on streaming websites. On the other hand, the viewers can’t find their movies even if they wanted to. How can they possibly compete with us?” Zachary was confident.

Their promotions undoubtedly completely overshadowed Oriental Star Group’s efforts.

Besides that, the plagiarism accusations plaguing the Oriental Star Group doomed them.

That was what Zoey and the gang were the most worried about.

“We contacted most of the streaming websites just now. They said that there weren’t any spots left in the recommendations list on the main page and even the subpages, because they have all been bought by Shanks Entertainment. It will spell disaster for us if this continues. Our movie qualities are good, but the viewers can’t even find it.” Zoey sounded frustrated as she spoke.

Levi stroked her hair. “Honey, forget about the promotions for now. Things will get better as time passes. When they compare our movies with theirs, our movies’ reputations will soar. Besides that, we are still popular from the plagiarism accusations! Everyone is waiting to compare our movies to see if we copied them!”

“Hahaha! You’re right. Our haters are our fans as well. They’ll probably turn into real fans when they watch our movies!” Zoey chuckled.

Levi flashed an indecipherable smile. “Besides that, I still have some tricks up my sleeve I can use after the movies get released!”

The day everyone was waiting for finally arrived.

It was eight p.m.

Seven movies from Shanks Entertainment were released at the same time on four major streaming sites.

They hogged all the spots on the recommendations list on the main pages; the first thing one would see if they opened the streaming website was advertisements about their movies.

As their popularity soared, a few million people were waiting expectantly for their release. They all rushed to watch it when they came out.

The reviews quickly came pouring in.

Terrible!

All seven movies are terrible!

The acting, special effects, and plot are terrible. Everything’s terrible! There’s nothing redeemable about it!

Apart from a few good reviews by some fans, the rest of the viewers gave bad reviews.

The average score for all seven movies was only six point seven.

“Oh, right. Isn’t the Oriental Star Group’s movie plagiarized from somewhere? I think it got released today too. Let’s go watch it!”

Everyone started to search for the Oriental Star Group’s movies.

The Return of God of War Chapter 452

In the Shanks Entertainment’s president’s office.

Niall, Zachary, and a few other people were present. They all looked displeased as they watched the real-time box office results.

Niall snorted. “It seems like the audience isn’t that gullible anymore!”

The manager, Winnie said, “That’s right. Viewers nowadays tend to care more about the content of the movie. Movies rarely cast young, handsome men now! Focusing on production quality is important!”

Niall chuckled. “Yes. That is why we need to take this opportunity to scam the dumbass fans’ money!”

Yvonne Wren agreed with that statement. “That’s right! The fans are stupid and easy to scam. We need to hurry up and make more movies of this kind! Once the dumbasses realize what’s going on, they won’t be so easy to scam anymore!”

If their fans heard what they said, they would probably blow up in rage.

“Oh, aren’t the Oriental Star Group’s movies being released as well? How are they doing?” Zachary couldn’t help but ask.

Niall chuckled. “I tried searching them in the streaming websites just now, but I still can’t find them.”

“They’re destined to fail! Even though our movies are trash, we are hogging all the spots in the recommendations lists! They can’t possibly succeed!” Yvonne chuckled coldly.

“President Shorts said he found their movies. They only have two of them, not seven!” The assistant showed Niall the tablet.

“Haha! Are they afraid of cutting a loss? They only filmed two movies, and who the f*** are the main actors? I haven’t even heard of them! They should be prepared that their movies will become a box office bomb!” Zachary guffawed as he played the movie.

After about three years, the netizens finished watching the two Oriental Star Group’s movies.

“Can those who already watched the movies tell us if it’s good or not?” Some netizens were eager but afraid to watch the movies. They were scared the movies might turn out horrible.

“It’s amazing! It really is super good!”

“This is the most well-produced movie I’ve ever watched!”

“The plot is well-thought-out, the art is tasteful, the pacing is appropriate, the special effects are perfect, and the acting was superb! I give five stars out of five!”

“This movie is showing in the cinemas! It’s so amazing! I need to watch it again!”

Good reviews started to appear all over the internet.

The netizens regarded the Oriental Star Group’s two movies as masterpieces!

Furthermore, the ones who gave good reviews weren’t fans. They were the ones who had lambasted Oriental Star Group before for plagiarism. They had watched the movies just because of the scandal.

When the higher-ups in the Oriental Star Group saw the good reviews and the rising popularity of the two movies, they breathed a sigh of relief.

“Well done! Levi, you’re amazing!”

Zoey hugged Levi.

Cough cough… Levi coughed out of embarrassment.

Zoey’s face immediately flushed red because Gerry Wade and the others were in the office. She had been so excited she forgot that they weren’t alone.

Levi chuckled. “Let’s officially start our promotions! Try to generate as much public attention as possible, including doing what Niall did before. In short, do everything you can to promote the movies!”

“Alright!”

The higher-ups were excited. Judging by how things were progressing, the two movies might generate more revenue than they have ever imagined!

“I still have a trump card. I’ll use it tonight!” Levi chuckled.

“I’ll be looking forward to it!”

Levi grinned. “Besides that, the people in charge of those streaming websites will start knocking on our doors soon enough!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 453

“What? I can’t believe their movies are this good! Even I was engrossed!” Zachary seemed genuinely entertained after they finished watching the movies.

Niall, Yvonne, and the rest were anxious.

“How are their movies so good? Look at how their popularity is booming! I can’t find a single bad review!”

“Even though they’re not on the recommendations list, they’re one of the top ten most popular movies right now! Their popularity is still rising too!”

“What now? Should we do something about it?”

The artists were as anxious and as nervous as cats.

The fact that the Oriental Star Group’s movies were spectacular was a huge embarrassment to them.

More importantly, the main actors were the rookies that they’ve seen before.

How are they so good at acting?

This made them feel indignant.

Their manager, Winnie sighed.

She was good at judging the current consumers’ needs.

People like Niall are more suited to join variety shows or just become a public figure.

Acting in movies requires actual acting skills, which they lack.

Oriental Star Group’s two movies’ popularity was rising in streaming websites.

“I get it now. The fact that Shanks Entertainment said that Oriental Star plagiarized their movies is a whole ruse to sabotage them! You have seven movies and they only have two, how dare you accuse them of plagiarism?”

“Yeah! Can your seven terrible movies be compared to their two masterpieces? How shameless can they get?”

“Everyone listen to me. Don’t watch those terrible movies anymore. Go and watch the Oriental Star Group’s two movies instead! They really are good!”

An intense discussion sparked in the comments section of the seven movies starred by Niall and the rest.

While everyone was lambasting the seven movies, everyone went to watch Oriental Star Group’s two movies instead.

Furthermore, the Oriental Star Group’s publicity team reignited the discussion about the plagiarism accusations to hype the movie up even more.

They then brought up the incident where Niall and his gang had acted all high and mighty and quit their jobs.

There was even video proof about how Niall had splashed Horace Engler with water, and how he had beaten Maurice Lorraine up.

The netizens were enraged when they caught hold of the news, and they started to lambast artists like Niall and Yvonne.

Even their fans started to attack them.

“Niall Xander, you b**d! Give me back my fing money!”

“This bastard only knows how to scam people! He can’t even act! What a piece of trash!”

“Helena Engler is my idol from now on! Yvonne Wren can get lost!”

“Pigs like Niall Xander don’t deserve to be artists. I’m gonna be Maurice Lorraine’s fan from now on. He’s so handsome and so good at acting!”

After that incident, Shanks Entertainment not only suffered a major loss, Niall and the other actors’ and actresses’ reputations were tarnished as well.
