"You can all leave now!" Mr. Dai said. The relatives nodded and left the ward, leaving Boss Jia alone in the ward. He sat beside Mr. Dai obediently.
"Don't you know why I asked them to leave?" Mr. Dai asked.
"Sir, do you have something important to say to me alone?" Boss Jia didn't want to.
"No, I don't have anything to say to you alone. I just think it's terrible for a rich man like you to cry!" Mr. Dai laughed. Boss Jia felt embarrassed.
"Sir, I don't have any requests. I just hope that you can calm down and take good care of your body from now on. Don't do anything else!" Boss Jia said worriedly. He then looked at Dai Tielang's expression.
If his teacher was unwilling, Boss Jia would immediately fire him from the Daqian Hospital. At the same time, he would forbid anyone in the company from communicating with Dai Tielang. He would keep Dai Tielang in the sanatorium no matter what. Then, he would hire a lot of international top doctors to guarantee Mr. Dai's life and health.
"No problem, I promise you!" Unexpectedly, Dai Tielang agreed very straightforwardly. There was no hesitation in his expression, which made Boss Jia somewhat unconvinced.
"But I also have a request," Dai Tielang said.
"Sir, please tell me!" Boss Jia was relieved when he heard Dai Tielang's request. He was afraid that his teacher didn't have any requests.
"My request is simple. Release the Treasured Lotus Lantern as soon as possible. And it must be released within this year!" Dai Tielang said.
"Sir, I don't understand. Why are you so stubborn about this? Didn't I ask someone to explain it to you? The reason why I can't release it this year is that I want the Treasured Lotus Lantern to have a better market. It's really not the best time to release it now. There will be a lot of blockbusters in the next few months. Waiting until next year is the best choice, "Boss Jia tried to explain.
"Child, since you already know about your teacher's physical condition, then I won't hide my thoughts. I'm actually worried that once this year passes, I won't have the chance to see my movie released again!" Dai Tielang sighed deeply.
"Teacher …" At this moment, Boss Jia finally understood why his teacher wanted the movie to be released this year. This made Boss Jia feel as if he had received a heavy blow from the depths of his heart. He suddenly realized that he had never considered the problem from his teacher's point of view. He only thought that his own way of thinking was the best.
Actually, what did it matter if a movie's results were good or bad after its release?
This movie wasn't made to make money. If his body couldn't support him until the day the movie was released, wouldn't he be harming his teacher instead?
After realizing this, Boss Jia decisively slapped himself in the face. Then, he held his teacher's hand and said, "Teacher, I was wrong. I can arrange for the movie to be released this year, but you must promise me that you must work hard to get better. I plan to make a trilogy for this movie! "
"Really? Then can I still direct the remaining two movies? "Dai Tielang immediately became excited.
"That can't be done. You just stay here and recuperate. I'll arrange for the best director in the world to direct the movie. You just need to stay at home and wait for the next movie to be released!" Boss Jia said decisively.
"You bastard! If you screw up my movie, I'll kill you!" Dai Tielang scolded. The master and disciple looked at each other. Suddenly, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Child, I've lived longer than you. I think things through more than you do. In the past, I might have cared about the box office of the movie, but now the box office of the movie is meaningless to me."
"I'm very clear that this Treasured Lotus Lamp has gathered all my life's knowledge. I've put all my life's experiences and beautiful things into this movie, as well as all my energy in the past three years. Then, I've shown it perfectly. That's enough for me."
"What I'm looking forward to is the moment when I see this movie in the cinema. Even if the audience is small, there will still be some comments. This is the last wish I pursue in my life. Do you understand?" Dai Tielang said his heartfelt words.
"Yes, I understand. I promise to fulfill your wish!" Boss Jia and Dai Tielang talked for more than an hour. When Dai Tielang became very tired, Boss Jia took the initiative to end the conversation. Then, he asked Dai Tielang's family members to come in again. Finally, he stayed with Dai Tielang for a whole day before leaving the ward and lying on the bed, exhausted.
"Go and tell the Daqian Film Company to make arrangements. Let's set the release date of the Treasured Lotus Lamp on … on … on November 6th!" Boss Jia pondered for a long time and finally decided on this date.
First of all, November 6th could basically avoid the five weeks after the release of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Pokemon would be released on December 1st. The animated movie, Baby Lotus, could also use the popularity of Pokemon to gain some traffic and attention.
Although the timing wasn't very good, Boss Jia still tried his best.
"Chairman, do we need to release it globally this time?" The secretary asked carefully.
"Well … we're not in a hurry to release it globally." Boss Jia's answer was quite rare. After all, Boss Jia always urged the release of Daqian movies globally. This was the first movie that Boss Jia didn't take the initiative to release it globally.
The reason was very simple. He was afraid that his teacher would get hurt.
The story of the Treasured Lotus Lamp was well-known in Hua Xia. At the same time, the composition and art style of the entire movie were Hua Xia's style. Hua Xia people should be able to accept this style of movie.
In addition, this movie was the culmination of Teacher Dai's life's efforts. It was undoubtedly a classic masterpiece. There was absolutely no possibility of it failing in terms of reputation. Therefore, this movie would definitely receive all kinds of good reviews if it was released in Hua Xia's movie market.
This way, even if the box office results weren't good, the public's fancy flattery should be able to make Teacher Dai feel very good. This way, it would be very easy for him to recuperate.
As for the overseas market, if a purely Hua Xia animated movie like the Treasured Lotus Lamp was released, it would be obvious what kind of ending it would have. If the international market was full of ridicule and negative reviews, Teacher Dai would be heartbroken.
Therefore, the Treasured Lotus Lamp became the first movie that Daqian Film Company didn't plan to release globally since its creation.
