Chapter 640: 206: Numerous contract terminations, losses exceeding one billion! _4
Sylvia Thompson handed the card back to Edward Thompson, “Bro, if you do this, I won’t move to your place.”
Upon hearing this, Edward Thompson had no choice but to take the card back and smiled, “Sylvia, have you promised your brother?”
“Hmm.” Sylvia nodded, “I’ll pack my things now.”
Moving to Edward Thompson’s place was actually the safest option.
Edward Thompson lived in a high-end residential area with strict security, not just anyone could enter.
Sylvia packed her clothes and got into Edward Thompson’s car.
Edward Thompson shared his future plans with Sylvia, “I plan to take on Director Ming’s movie first, then use the film’s pay to set up a studio.”
Director Ming’s film pay was 100 million.
Although the plan was to start shooting next year, he had worked with Director Ming before and could negotiate to receive the payment in advance.
Sylvia nodded, “Bro, have you talked to Director Ming about this?”
Thinking about this, Edward Thompson was overjoyed.
Howard was worried at first that Director Ming would change the male lead, but yesterday Director Ming was still discussing the schedule with him.
It wasn’t that Edward Thompson was blindly confident.
It was that he really had a solid position in the circle.
As long as Director Ming’s film still considered box office performance, he would not use those newcomers without any foundation.
Most importantly, Edward Thompson had done some promotion beforehand, and almost everyone knew that he was the male lead of Director Ming’s new movie, and the response was very positive. Everyone was looking forward to this fantasy film. Even professional critics commented that there was no second star in the entertainment industry who fit the male lead role besides him.
If Director Ming were to change the male lead at this time, it would surely affect the box office.
Even a person with a toe could think that Director Ming would definitely not change the lead!
His termination of the contract with Howard was not a career suicide, but the beginning of his ascent to the top!
“Congratulations, bro.” Sylvia looked at Edward Thompson.
Edward Thompson had a big smile on his face.
Soon, the car entered the high-end residential area where Edward Thompson lived.
The assistant was waiting at the apartment entrance for Edward Thompson, “Emperor Thompson!”
Sylvia greeted with a smile, “Little Sun.”
The assistant continued, “Emperor Thompson, the room is ready. The food is also prepared, I’ll leave first, if there’s anything, just give me a call.”
“You can go.” Edward Thompson nodded, “Remember to come over early tomorrow.”
The assistant greeted Sylvia and then turned to leave.
Actually, the assistant didn’t quite understand Edward Thompson’s actions; for a sister not related by blood, he not only severed ties with his family but also had a falling out with the company.
But she had no say in the matter, even if she really had any opinions, Edward Thompson wouldn’t adopt them.
Edward Thompson led Sylvia into the house.
The food was takeout ordered by the assistant.
Although there were only two people eating, a colorful array of dishes filled the table.
Everyone knew that Edward Thompson was a spoiled-sister maniac. If he were to eat alone, he would just deal with it. After all, celebrities had to strictly control their weight and figure. But it was different now as Sylvia was there, so he must make sure she ate well and enjoyed it!
He couldn’t let Sylvia feel any difference in her meals after leaving the Thompson Clan.
If possible, Edward Thompson wanted to present all the best things in the world to Sylvia.
Edward Thompson was awakened by the assistant’s knocking at the door.
“Emperor Thompson! Emperor Thompson, wake up!”
Edward Thompson frowned slightly, walked over, and opened the door, “What happened?”
The assistant was out of breath, “Emperor Thompson, did you forget? Today is your contract signing day with Director Ming!”
Edward Thompson suddenly remembered, “Wait for me for five minutes.”
Five minutes later, Edward Thompson had solved all his problems and appeared in the living room. He left a note for Sylvia on the dining table and then set off with his assistant to Director Ming’s company.
As usual, once Edward Thompson entered Smith Media, he was warmly welcomed.
The staff led Edward Thompson to the VIP room, “Emperor Thompson, please wait a moment, Director Ming is meeting with a very important guest.”
Hearing this, Edward Thompson frowned imperceptibly.
A very important guest?
Today was his contract signing day for the new drama with Director Ming.
Who could be the important person that Director Ming was meeting at this time?
Soon, the staff brought Edward Thompson a cup of tea.
Edward Thompson didn’t think too much about it.
