Many people were rubbing their eyes, looking at the news in disbelief. Holy shit, did I read that right? Just a couple of days ago, Finn Lewis was exchanging words with Jay Summer, and suddenly he already had a distributor in the North Federation? This speed is mind-blowing! If this news wasn’t released by HQ Film, and instead was announced by WY, the domestic media would probably be accusing Finn Lewis and WY of bragging.

But it was HQ itself that announced it, which means it’s true, but… bloody hell, why does it make people so frustrated? Especially those in the film and entertainment industry, reading this news was incredibly annoying. We break our backs making a film, looking for distribution channels in the North Federation from start to finish. Pleading everywhere, and if one out of twenty films gets a chance to be launched in the North Federation, it is a big deal already.

But now, for fuck’s sake, you, a game company, just host a game video contest, and the winner gets directly distributed in the North Federation? And it’s distributed by HQ Film? What the…! The gap between us is enormous! God, you might as well strike this bastard with a bolt of lightning!

Upon receiving the news, many film producers stared at Finn Lewis with starkly jealous eyes, and then spoke enviously, “WY’s business skills are not something ordinary people can match. I wish WY’s game movie a successful launch in the North Federation market.”

If they could, these filmmakers wouldn’t speak in this way, but who can argue with Finn Lewis’s wealth? More than that, his social circle is obviously high-end as well! They, as filmmakers, always have to seek investors. If they could secure an investment from Finn Lewis in the future, wouldn’t it become much easier for them to launch their films in the North Federation? Thinking about this, these filmmakers, directors, and actors all became extremely excited, one by one, starting to congratulate Finn Lewis on Micro Research.

When Jay Summer heard the news, his eyes nearly bulged out of his head! How is this possible?! Are the people at HQ Films out of their minds?! Holy fuck! Are they seriously distributing this piece of garbage? Fuck! His entire being ignited with rage, even throwing his laptop to the ground.

His eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions – frustration, anger, and jealousy, or something else. Finn Lewis was moving too fast for him. It was just two days ago, according to Jay Summer’s estimation, even if Finn Lewis finally finds a distribution channel, based on domestic efficiency, it would still take one or two months, during which he could launch many online campaigns to smear Finn Lewis.

By the time Finn Lewis’s movie is launched, if everything online is negative, the box office naturally wouldn’t be anything impressive. But now, Finn Lewis was moving too fast! So fast that he didn’t have any time to react. Within just two days, all matters regarding the launch were already directly discussed and even the release date was set?

What was even more important! Finn Lewis did not follow the traditional route, launching locally first then seeking international distribution. In Jay Summer’s eyes, Finn Lewis, as the wealthiest man in the world, must have many connections in the Flame Nation. He had no doubt about that. Hence, Finn Lewis surely could have launched his film domestically. But to launch it in the Federation? Jay Summer never even thought about that.

But now, the situation was completely unexpected. He actually directly launched it in the Federation! This was completely non-standard. Which domestic film has been launched in the Federation first? And now let a game video from Finn Lewis do so first! How was this fair? Seeing the established filmmakers, famous directors, and domestic top-tier stars congratulating Finn Lewis on Micro Research made Jay actually even more jealous.

These people were obviously looking to curry favor! Burned with jealousy, Jay quickly opened his computer and posted a message on Micro Research, “I must say, the world’s wealthiest man always does as he pleases with money. Although I don’t know how much he spent on HQ Film, it’s definitely not a small number. Additionally, I really don’t understand the domestic entertainment circle. The guy just uses money to buy an overseas launch opportunity, and you all just compliment him. If this continues, where will the future of Flame Nation filmmaking be?”

Jay Summer’s Micro Research post had a large following, especially major online media outlets. They all knew that after this news was released, Jay would not remain silent. As expected, not long after, Jay’s post appeared. Reading the content, everyone immediately became excited, but now Jay’s Micro Research feed wasn’t like it was it the beginning.

In the beginning, there were more people supporting Jay. But now, it wasn’t the case. Since Jay started smearing Finn Lewis and WY’s video, and claimed that the player-created video was garbage, it could be said that there wasn’t a player that stood by Jay’s side. And players who often game online, join in. With these game players participating, Jay Summer’s comment section on Micro Research was chaotic.

However, as a known troll, similar to a rabid dog, he was indifferent to the comments on his Micro Research. His skin had been toughened to a point where these abuses didn’t matter to him. He didn’t even look at them, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be angry. Instead, he would be happy, because the more people insulting him, the higher his visibility.

Finn Lewis knew Jay was definitely going to post on Micro Research, so he was waiting for it. Within less than two seconds of Jay’s post, Finn Lewis’s status was updated directly on Micro Research with Jay tagged. The entire post contained only two words: dumbass.

“Haha, Prodigal’s quick response is amazing, an instant reply! But these two words really hit the mark.”

“I am giving Prodigal a ‘like’. I don’t like people like that who think they are saints and that their words are the truth.”

There were still many supporters on Finn Lewis’s Micro Research page. As soon as he posted this status, countless fans forwarded it within a short amount of time. In the comment section of Jay’s post, the word “dumbass” popped up again and again.

For some reason, despite receiving many prior insults, Jay never got angry. However, seeing row after row of the word “dumbass” ignited a flame within him. But with regards to these common netizens, there was nothing he could do. There were too many of them to respond to each one. Instead, he vented all his anger towards Finn Lewis.

However, Finn Lewis was already accustomed to his ranting. After leaving those two words, he immediately went offline and completely ignored him. There was no need for other methods to deal with people like Jay, just ignore them and then shut them up with a slap. After returning to the North Federation, with the short time till the launch, HQ Film quickly began promotions.
