Chapter 341 The Five Best Screenwriters
The media saw an opportunity to spread the news everywhere and took it. This, coupled with Marc's fans' retaliation, made an issue between Marc and Tension Pictures turn into a soap opera. It became the hottest topic in the entertainment industry.The fact that Rufus and the two other renowned scriptwriters had suddenly jumped ship to Forme Entertainment added fuel to the fire. It made the public think Tension Pictures must've done something wrong to deserve this exodus.Soon enough, Tension Pictures became the target of everyone's mockery and insults.As things escalated, Marcus contacted Murray. "Are there any renowned scriptwriters affiliated with the Pantheon of the Drakon?""Of course!" Murray answered. "Ciel Entertainment, which belongs to Mr. Yannis Tiller, has an army of Merania's top directors, actors, and scriptwriters. Famous directors like Cyril Prescott and Horace Goode are signed to Ciel Entertainment.""What?" Marcus was astonished to hear this. Cyril and Horace wer

Tension Pictures sped up filming for the five web blockbusters. After all, they were approaching the release date indicated in their promotion of the films.Now that they had the perfect scripts in hand, it was time to test the director's and actors' skills.Though Ciel Entertainment had no shortage of renowned directors and actors, none of them were suited to film web blockbusters.

Chapter 343 The Premiere of the First Film
"Yes, exactly!" Marc nodded vigorously at Dale's words.Dale glanced at him, then said, "But those tickets aren't gonna sell themselves while you get drunk in a bar. Tension Pictures' first film is gonna premiere soon, and we can't lose to them."That's why I intend to have the first of our ten films premiere on the same day as Tension Pictures'!""What?" Marc looked like he was in a bind. "But filming has yet to wrap up.""That's not an issue." Dale smiled. "We can just use the footage you filmed while under Tension Pictures. All you need to do is work a little harder over the next few days to get the rest done. There's only one thing I want—to have the premiere on the same day as Tension Pictures!"Seeing how serious Dale looked, Marc had no choice but to agree. "Alright, Mr. Coleman. I'll get it done!"He was reluctant to comply, but Dale was paying him a billion dollars for the ten films. This was also the Coleman family from Prudence County he was dealing with. He couldn't a

Chapter 344 Someone Even Yannis Can't Afford to Offend
Per Marcus' instructions, Vivian announced the release of the second film. Courtney's and Gareth's acting skills had already helped them build a good reputation, so this announcement was well-received. Several fans of the film swore they'd buy tickets once the film was released.While things were fine and dandy on this end, the same couldn't be said for Marc. People were insulting him on every corner of the Internet, saying he was a terrible actor and had zero acting skills.Things only got worse from there. The rumors of him being a diva and throwing a fit resurfaced, and paparazzi snapped clear shots of him and Jenn getting a hotel room. As the bad publicity came in waves, Marc ended up in the eye of a storm.The backlash from his fans and the media scared him so much that he didn't even dare leave the house. He found an opportunity to speak to Dale, saying, "Mr. Coleman, I was thinking of temporarily leaving the country to wait for things to blow over.""Leave the country?" Dale

Chapter 345 Smug
Rufus' words sounded tempting to the other two scriptwriters. Tension Pictures had paid them well; they'd only jumped ship to Forme Entertainment with Rufus because they thought they had better futures there.Yet they'd only enjoyed things for a few days before being kicked out.Even Jenn said, "I think Mr. Kemp's idea is worth considering."Now that she was out of films to act in, she had no income. Life wasn't treating her well.The other actors who'd left with Marc agreed."You know how things ended between us and Tension Pictures. Do you think they'll take us back?" Marc frowned."Why not?" Jenn curled her lip. "We used to be lead actors in their films, didn't we? We may not have contributed to the company, but at least we did work for them! Now that we're out of options, they have to take us back. Otherwise, they'd be burning bridges!""I think Ms. Laurent is right." Rufus nodded. "Let's go talk up Ms. Lorimer—you know how soft she is. With her personality and our contribut

After a series of events leading to the explosive success of the web blockbuster, Tension Pictures won the battle against Marc. As a result of this, Courtney and Gareth also shot to fame, boosting Tension Pictures' reputation in the industry.Vivian no longer had any doubts about Marcus' strategizing. When she heard him say he would deal with Marc, she nodded without hesitation. "Sure. I'll leave Marc and the others up to you. I have other things to attend to."She walked out of the office. Marcus headed downstairs and told the security guard, "Ask them why they want to see Ms. Lorimer."The security guard did as told.Marc said bluntly, "We want to return to Tension Pictures and hope that Ms. Lorimer will arrange for us to sign our contracts.""Do you think Tension Pictures is your backyard? What makes you think you can come and go as you wish?" Marcus retorted."We were Tension Pictures' A-listers, weren't we? And I have millions of fans. The fact that I'm willing to return is

Chapter 347 Welcoming Zenith Out of Seclusion
The next day, Dale headed to Forme Corporation for work as usual. When he arrived at his office, he saw a box on the table. On it was written, "For Dale Coleman's eyes only."Dale summoned his secretary and asked, "Who did this come from?"The secretary said, "A courier guy dropped it off. He said an old friend of yours asked him to bring it over. I figured that since it was from an old friend, you'd want to see it yourself. That's why I placed it on your desk.""An old friend?" Dale looked puzzled."Yeah." The secretary nodded. "He said you would understand once you opened the box."And so, Dale opened the box. When he saw a gleaming dagger inside, he was shocked. "What the hell is this?"There was a note under the dagger. It read, "The anniversary of George's death is in three days. I'll be waiting for you."Dale's expression shifted noticeably when he read the note. He immediately sought Bray out."We've been so busy dealing with Tension Pictures lately that I forgot all abo

Chapter 348 Tenson Comes to Northfort
Tenson couldn't help feeling excited when he heard Zenith wanted him to try his hand at Northfort. He'd been by Zenith's side for the past 50 years while Zenith cultivated in seclusion. It'd been ages since he'd left the mountain, and he wanted to take this opportunity for freedom.Zenith said, "Phisteele Corporation isn't one to be underestimated if it could gain control of Northfort in such a short time. I'll have Gale, Tsunami, and Plague accompany Tenson."The fact that he was sending three out of his Four Guardians ahead of him to Northfort was enough to show his determination to eradicate Phisteele Corporation.Tenson was even more excited by this. The Four Guardians were known for being second only to Zenith. With three out of the four by his side, he could do whatever he wanted in Northfort!"Mr. Jahn Senior, we'll gladly lead Mr. Jahn Junior to Northfort," Bray said. Dale nodded in agreement.After all, the anniversary of George's death was in three days. They were genu

Before this, Woody had caused trouble everywhere because of his powerful family.Though Wade could easily settle the issues, Woody's antics had still disgraced the Betelgeuse family. Wade had taken advantage of Woody's incapacitation to find him a wife.Though Woody was no different from a cripple, he was still the son of the president of the Northfort Chamber of Commerce.

Chapter 350 I Want Them All
Gale immediately got what he meant and walked over to Stanley's wife. He grabbed her fork and stabbed her in the throat without the slightest hesitation. This made the Betelgeuse family tremble even more.Tenson said indifferently, "That's what happens when people disobey me. Have we all learned our lesson?"No one dared to make a sound."Since we have …" Tenson glanced at the other women and pointed at them like he was picking things off a menu. "You, you, you, and you, come sit by me."The first woman Tenson picked was Woody's newlywed wife, Adeline Wickett. She became ashen when Tenson pointed at her. She turned to Woody, looking pleading. "Honey, save me!"Woody turned to Wade. "Dad, save Adeline!"But all Wade did was sigh and stomp his foot helplessly."I'll give you 30 seconds," Tenson said leisurely. "If none of the women I've picked move to sit next to me within those 30 seconds, you know what's gonna happen."At his words, the women all stood up. Woody watched as Adel
