Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 783: Chapter 400: A Different Kind of Worldly Flame (Second Update)

Edward Foster observed Lawrence Winters and noticed she seemed distracted, so he didn’t disturb her further. He smiled and said, "I still have to prepare a few contracts, asking the other party to take good care of the master tapes and not to leak them prematurely."

Lawrence Winters then casually mentioned, "Can foreign partners be trusted? What if they leak prematurely, and the master tapes we provide are the original versions with just foreign language subtitles..."

This comment reminded Edward Foster.

He pondered for a moment and said with lingering fear, "You’re right. I need to redraft the contract. The series can only be provided once a week, just the two episodes they want to broadcast, not more."

When foreign-made TV dramas are broadcast on mainstream TV stations, it’s usually one episode per week, rarely two episodes a week.

Edward Foster providing two episodes per week already exceeded their limit.

He couldn’t possibly sell to foreign TV stations the same way he did domestically.

The reason for such caution is due to the huge profits involved.

Now this show is unstoppable in domestic viewership, reaching new peaks every week.

Not only the special effects, but even the plot and the actors’ performances are hot topics of discussion.

Every actor in the drama has seen a substantial rise in resources and reputation.

Lucas Harlow, because of his retirement from the industry, has become a household name, trending as the top male actor in the country.

The other actors have also become popular, with many gaining their own fans and fan clubs, benefiting the entire NewHuman Corporation.

And it’s not just NewHuman Corporation that reaps the benefits.

As this fantasy drama is broadcast overseas, many foreign viewers interested in mysticism are drawn to these types of Chinese fantasy dramas.

It’s a pity that in the past, the special effects in domestic fantasy dramas were so poor, dragging down the entire show’s quality.

Now, with a rare fantasy drama that doesn’t have awkward special effects, these viewers treat it like a treasure and promote it like wildfire on social media.

Thus, a week after airing overseas, the drama surged into the top three TV ratings on foreign television stations.

Subsequently, the special effects company of this drama naturally got discovered.

There are far more, and more formidable tech enthusiasts abroad who can painstakingly break down a special effects shot into detailed frames, analyzing and discussing each one.

The more they analyze, the more they admire its sophistication, finding it unbelievable.

This is the so-called layman enjoying the spectacle, while the expert sees the intricacies.

As a result, Kenneth Osborne’s special effects company recently received many inquiries from foreign films wanting his company to handle post-production effects.

Just two weeks away from Lawrence Winters attending Ruby Sheldon’s birthday party, Kenneth Osborne was already so busy that he barely touched the ground.

He needed to find someone to negotiate with the other party, and to hire a legal team to review the foreign contracts, to prevent any pitfalls.

Edward Foster, meanwhile, was busy with the construction of villa complexes on the outskirts of the capital. He needed to review blueprints, find project management to oversee the entire project, and ensure all permits and certificates were legitimate and complete.

Lawrence Winters also had her own things to busy herself with.

Since showcasing her skills at Ruby Sheldon’s twenty-first birthday celebration and advertising for her and Nick Zeller’s "Great Heavenly Master Agency," a few small jobs came her way from the circle of ladies surrounding Mrs. Foster.

This kind of business thrives on reputation. Lawrence Winters knew it was only a matter of time before her Great Heavenly Master Agency rose to prominence.

And the conflict with the Celestial Master Sect - Grant Branch at that birthday party, she hasn’t communicated with the old Daoist and Nick Zeller yet.

Because she was gathering information on her own, planning to discuss strategies with the old Daoist and Nick Zeller after thoroughly investigating.

If she was going to strike, it would be a sure hit.

In this busyness, another week passed.

On this weekend, she didn’t pick up any side jobs, but because she had been waking up early every day for these past weeks, she was already used to it.

At the same time, she woke up naturally.

Looked beside her, Kenneth Osborne had not yet slept.

Due to the time difference with abroad, he was now living an inverted day and night schedule for overseas meetings and communication.

Lawrence Winters pulled back the covers and got out of bed, first heading to the bathroom to wash up.

She habitually picked up the glass for rinsing, just about to fill it with water, when suddenly her vision blurred, and some indistinct image flashed through her mind. She loosened her grip, and the glass cup crashed to the bathroom floor, shattering into pieces.

She shook her head speechlessly and picked up another cup to use for rinsing.

After washing up, she left her room and headed to the kitchen, seeing Gabrielle Winters busy in the kitchen. She curiously asked, "Mom, how come you’re making breakfast? Where’s Grandfather Master?"

Gabrielle Winters shook her head, "He went out for a walk."

Lawrence Winters didn’t think much of it and habitually asked, "What about Dad? Is he still lazing in bed?"

"How could he still be in bed? He saw that you don’t have to work overtime on side jobs this week and decided to treat you to fish porridge and pan-fried buns. He went out early to queue," Gabrielle Winters said, checking her phone, "He’s been there for half an hour."

Lawrence Winters chuckled and said, "Then I’ll go pick up Dad."

Taking her phone and wallet, she dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, her long legs swinging, she took the elevator downstairs.

The morning air in the residential community was particularly fresh.

She jogged from the community all the way to the nearby breakfast shop, known for being both proud yet exceptional in taste, and smiled knowingly.

The line there was getting longer and longer.

She turned the corner and saw Nick Zeller already done with his purchases, carrying two large insulated containers, struggling through the crowd.

Lawrence Winters waved and called out with a smile, "Dad! What delicious things did you buy?!"

Under the shade of the thickly canopied sycamore trees, amidst the bustling crowd in front of the breakfast shop, with steaming white clouds, the honking of cars, the laughter of children, and the chatter of adults, it all blended into a symphony called "Human World Smoke and Fire."

Lawrence Winters felt exceedingly joyful as she ran towards Nick Zeller with a smile.

At this moment, a car sped around the street corner, as if it hadn’t seen Lawrence Winters crossing the road, suddenly accelerated, and with a roar, collided into her!
