Chapter 521: Chapter 520: Removing South Grant’s Movie from Theaters

Rhiannon Grant used the simplest and most effective method, which, simply put, was a rebate.

Five percent of the box office from "Warfire" would go to the cinema chain. This rebate point was pretty high, and to increase the box office, the only option was to boost the rate of screenings, which fundamentally solved the issue of screening rates.

The screening rate of "Warfire" increased, meaning others had to decrease. Among them, South Grant’s film had the highest screenings, so his film’s screening rate would be reduced.

As everyone pondered over dinner, Rhiannon Grant watched them and then spoke again:

"This five percent is my gesture of thanks to everyone for their support in investing in our company’s films over the years. No matter how you calculate the screenings, consider this my gift to you all. However, the next five percent is the main reason I’ve invited you today."

Listening to Rhiannon, everyone turned to her, unsure of her purpose.

"Rhiannon, speak up, we’re all listening."

Rhiannon Grant smiled, picked up her red wine, took a graceful sip, then put it down elegantly, and said:

"No matter who does it, for pulling the film ’Us’ from its release, I’ll add another five percent. This is why I invited you all here today."

As soon as Rhiannon finished speaking, everyone present was taken aback.

Rhiannon and South Grant were family, and the film "Us" was South Grant’s investment. Those unaware wouldn’t understand the situation.

Seeing the surprise on everyone’s faces, Rhiannon smiled and explained:

"Perhaps you don’t know, South Grant is my nephew. Currently, he’s the most suitable heir in the family, but he’s stubborn and refuses to follow my father’s guidance. He’s gone off to start a company with his friends to compete against The Grant Family. I’m doing this to force him to come back and inherit the family business. I hope you all can understand."

Rhiannon used a dignified reason, and those who knew the situation just smiled without commenting.

No matter what, this was ultimately The Grant Family’s issue and unrelated to them.

They were businessmen, just here to make money.

Earlier, Rhiannon mentioned five percent to the cinemas, with the additional five percent meant to pull South Grant’s film.

Given the current momentum of "Warfire," a ten percent profit was quite substantial.

So, this group was tempted.

"I didn’t expect Miss Grant to be so capable at such a young age."

"Yes, it’s truly a pleasure to work with someone as straightforward as Miss Grant."

Others chimed in agreement, and Rhiannon knew from their words that they agreed.

Only the general manager of Young Pictures remained silent. Being Rhiannon’s classmate, she decided to speak to him privately after the gathering ended.

"I don’t deserve such praise from you all. I’m just a daughter of The Grant Family, which has a rule that daughters can’t inherit the family business. I’m only stepping in because there’s no one else, and I await my nephew’s return to step aside for him."

"That’s truly a pity. A capable person like Miss Grant is not inferior to any man."

Afterwards, they continued eating for a while before everyone dispersed.

In the parking lot below, when the general manager of Young Cinemas was about to drive off, someone tapped on his window.

He looked outside and saw it was Rhiannon Grant.

He rolled down the car window and asked with a smile, "Rhiannon, what’s up?"

Rhiannon Grant smiled sweetly, "My driver left early. Can I hitch a ride with you?"
