When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 200

Charlotte's words made Henrietta smile. "Same rule applies. They both get one day. This film has already been delayed too many times."

"I know, it's driving me crazy!" Charlotte complained. "Instead of focusing on acting, all they do is stir up drama!"

Charlotte usually got a nice break after finishing a film, and the constant delays were cutting into her vacation time.

"I was about to talk to you about that," Henrietta said. "We need to speed up the timeline for this movie. All filming must be completed within one month. No more delays. Can you make that happen?"

Charlotte thought for a moment. "If we push hard, it should be doable."

"Good," Henrietta nodded. "Then we push. And I don't just want the main leads to shine in this film. I want every supporting actor to become a star because of it."

"I know," Charlotte said. "That's always the standard. Don't worry, leave it to me."

"I trust you completely," Henrietta replied.

After they hung up, Henrietta's brow furrowed in thought. She turned to Winona. "I have some more plans for this film. Take these down. Then I want you to relay them to the relevant departments and make sure they cooperate fully."

"Okay," Winona nodded, taking out her phone and opening the voice recorder. "Go ahead."

"Contact Charlotte later today and have her send all the existing footage to the editing department. Editing will begin concurrently with filming. At the same time, the promotions department needs to start the pre-launch hype campaign. Release some behind-the-scenes clips, get the buzz going. I want a complete marketing proposal on my desk by tomorrow, covering the strategy before and after the release. Also, start scheduling with the streaming platforms. I want this series to go live the day after filming wraps, two days at the most. The hype has to be massive—social media bots, press releases, the works."

Winona nodded. "Got it. Anything else?"

"Yes," Henrietta paused, gathering her thoughts. "While editing and promotions are ongoing, I want business opportunities lined up for the moment the show airs. Variety shows, interviews, domestic brand endorsements. Also, prepare for a promotional tour and fan meet-and-greets. I want this show to be an explosive hit from day one and a cultural phenomenon by the time it ends, with a full slate of commercial deals ready to go. On top of that, have the planning department draw up a proposal for an international film project we'll finance, with those two as the leads. We'll hire a famous international cast to support them, and get a foreign director to co-direct with our team. We'll set up the project offshore. Start on the script immediately."

Winona raised an eyebrow. "What's the budget?"

"A billion," Henrietta stated.

Winona looked shocked.

"Don't worry," Henrietta assured her. "If they actually work hard, we'll make the money back. In the end, they'll be the only ones who suffer. They'll pay for it until they're ruined."

"Alright," Winona said. "I'll get it all arranged."

"Six months," Henrietta added. "This all needs to be done in six months, maximum. After that, once they're internationally famous, I'll give them two weeks to celebrate."

That afternoon, Henrietta had been planning to ask Yosef about having dinner at the Sargent estate. But before she could, he called her.

"My mother wants us to come to the family estate for dinner tonight," he said.

Henrietta's eyebrows rose. "Oh, okay."

"I'll pick you up this afternoon," he added.

"Alright."

She thought for a moment. "So... when should we go to my family's estate for dinner?"

"How about this weekend?" Yosef suggested. "We need to be proper when we visit. We'll go for lunch."

"Sounds good," Henrietta agreed. The weekend was two days away, which gave her plenty of time to let Sabrina know.

Yosef added one more thing. "Mom said my brother and his fiancée will be there too."
