230: Unstoppable

iron man exploded, and in just one day, the film's success became unstoppable.

[Have you seen iron man? If not, you must; it's so good.]

[The best movie right now is iron man. Do you want to go? I can accompany you for a second viewing.]

[I've never seen such a cool movie. When is the second one coming out? I can't wait.]

Morgan didn't expect that overnight, the situation with this movie would spin out of their control.

Three days later, when the box office for iron man surpassed one hundred million, Morgan's face turned an ugly shade of black.

Currently, iron man was only released in Europe and America. Due to censorship issues, Dragon Country was a week behind. However, the hype for iron man had already spread there. Dragon Country naturally had a large population, so the box office there would only be better than in the West.

Morgan acted as if facing a formidable enemy. Monica comforted him, "President, perhaps only this one movie's box office will be decent. The other movies haven't been released yet; it's too early for us to worry."

Monica comforted Morgan with her words, but in her heart, she was also uncertain. This Lu Qingyu was formidable to an uncanny degree.

Kane Bailey was very satisfied looking at Lu Qingyu's results. Moray joined him in reviewing the data Lu Qingyu had sent over.

After reading it, Moray's eyes lit up like lightbulbs.

"Lu, you're amazing! One hundred million dollars in box office already."

Lu Qingyu came to Kane Bailey today not just to show him the results, but also because he wanted Kane Bailey's help in keeping an eye on Morgan and the others to prevent them from playing dirty tricks.

Kane Bailey was his guarantor; they were grasshoppers on the same string, so he would naturally help Lu Qingyu.

Hearing Moray's praise, Lu Qingyu smiled. "There's one more thing I came for today."

Kane Bailey nodded. He knew what it was without Lu Qingyu needing to say it.

"Don't worry, I won't allow Morgan and his lot to pull any stunts."

With Kane Bailey's help, Lu Qingyu was naturally at ease.

And what followed was Morgan's nightmare.

A month later, iron man's box office hit 1.2 billion. Under Kane Bailey's supervision, Morgan had no way to play dirty. When he saw these box office numbers, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest from fright.

Because the film was entirely produced by Lu Qingyu's company, the net profit reached forty percent. Thus, from this one movie alone, Lu Qingyu personally took home 480 million dollars.

Fortunately, after a month, iron man was taken off the screens, but another nightmare began.

Batman: Dark World was released.

Morgan didn't expect this movie to be so good as well. In another month, it raked in 1.7 billion in box office.

When Batman left the theaters, Morgan thought the next one couldn't possibly be as popular. But then, damn it, transformers was released. This movie practically became the dream film for every boy.

Bumblebee, Megatron, Optimus Prime—holy crap, they were so cool.

Magic Paradise single-handedly raised the prestige of the entire sci-fi genre by ten levels. Others simply couldn't catch up, nor did they dare to try.

After transformers finished its run, Thor was released. After Thor, frozen was released.

There wasn't a single child who didn't love frozen. When children like something, they watch it repeatedly. Consequently, parents had to take their children for a second viewing, a third, and even once a week.

The parents were going numb!

Just when you thought Magic Paradise only produced hero-themed content, the two TV series gotham and the boys were released.

The crime theme was very satisfying for everyone to watch, and the boys drove people into a frenzy.

In Florida, that place that doesn't harbor idle people, the crime rate soared after these two shows aired.

Magic Paradise even faced complaints.

Lu Qingyu said, "An apology is fine, but the shows must continue to air."

Morgan wanted to transfer his assets, but his every move was being watched.

He knew he was finished. From the moment Lu Qingyu's third movie became a massive hit, he knew he was going to lose.

But even now, he couldn't understand how Lu Qingyu could be so powerful.

He had actually lost a gambling agreement that had been almost a guaranteed win!

By the time the sixth movie finished its run, Lu Qingyu's net profit had already exceeded 3.3 billion, more than double the 1.5 billion they had originally set.

In Morgan's office, a room full of people couldn't think of any way to cancel the gambling agreement.

If it had just been a green youth like Lu Qingyu, it might have been fine, but the key was that Kane Bailey was the middleman.

Even if they wanted to void that contract now, they couldn't.

Seeing the room full of silent people, Morgan flew into a rage. "A bunch of useless trash! I spend so much money to keep you, and now you don't have a single solution."

The people below remained silent. What could they do? You caused the trouble; we don't have the power to resolve such a gambling agreement.

Just as Morgan grabbed one of the employees by the tie, wanting to punch him, the office door opened.

Su Jixing walked in with a team of lawyers.

Seeing this scene, Su Jixing chuckled inwardly. "Mr. Morgan, we are here now to liquidate your assets and the entire Warner company according to the contract."

Morgan said angrily, "The agreed time for our contract is two years. The time isn't up yet; you have no right to do this."

Su Jixing opened the contract. "Is Mr. Morgan's memory failing? It's written in the contract that if the gambling target is completed, we can terminate it early."

This clause had been added by Lu Qingyu. At the time, Morgan hadn't cared. He had even mocked Lu Qingyu, saying it would be lucky if he didn't ask for an extension, and that thinking he could finish early was just a dream.

Who would have thought this clause would become his death warrant.

Two days later, Warner changed hands, and the entire European and American industry was shaken.
