Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 585

The sudden pounding of her heart caused Larissa to look away. She forced herself to focus on the series on television.

…

The email Kevan tapped into was the proposal for the movie "Traveling Through Time" from the film production department. "Traveling Through Time" was the newest novel published by Pluto last year, breaking the sales record for his previous work, "Wormhole." The various film adaptation rights had helped generate a lot of revenue for Microworks.

Unlike "Wormhole," Microworks directly got Pluto himself to be the screenwriter for "Traveling Through Time." The movie's script was already completed, and they were going to start casting for the film.

Due to the explosive success of "Wormhole," Microworks treated "Traveling Through Time" very seriously to the point that whenever the proposal for the movie was edited, they had to submit it to Kevan for him to review it in person so as to achieve the results closest to perfection.

Distracted by Larissa, Kevan went through every line very slowly. But this did not stop him from nitpicking. Finding the contact number of the general manager of the film production department on WhatsApp, he demanded, "Why is the expected screening time for 'Traveling Through Time' pushed back a year from the original proposal?"

Based on the original proposal, it could take a year for the movie to be filmed and to go through post-production, which would just so happen to allow it to be screened at Christmas next year. But the latest proposal showed that the screening time would be during the year after next.

The general manager had already braced himself for questioning, so he responded calmly, "Mr. Rogers, we recently got word that Cosmic got some investment from Tinseltown and will be shooting 'Migration to Mars' soon. If there are no unexpected drawbacks, they might clash with our screening time. I'm sure you are aware of the appraisal of these two intellectual properties in the industry. 'Migration to Mars' will have an easier time becoming popular compared to "Traveling Through Time." Our goal is to surpass the fame we garnered with 'Wormhole,' but if we clash with 'Migration to Mars,' I'm afraid that we will not meet our goal."

Ever since Bethany had been kidnapped, Kevan had been paying more attention to Cosmic than Microworks. If anything happened to them, he would know firsthand. It was not news to him that Xavier wanted to shoot "Migration to Mars."

"No need to change the screening time." A hint of mockery flashed through Kevan's eyes. Although he did not know what caused Fantasy Utopia to work with Cosmic, he was certain that they could not produce "Migration to Mars." Even if Xavier somehow managed to get enough investment to get the project in motion, it was hard to say how far he could go with this.
