Chapter 64 Fate 3
I left Anhe's house.
Huang Min did not take the bus or call Uncle Zheng; instead, he chose to walk back on his own.
With the release of "The Terror Live" resolved, and Huang Min unable to personally promote the film, he had a lot of free time for the next period of time.
As for the failure of this movie... he promised to direct a movie for Teacher Zhou Nian, but now he has signed a contract with Cheng Kong Media. There is no conflict between them. He can put the millions of investment from Cheng Kong Media into the profit of his next work. It is estimated that Teacher Zhou Nian would love to have an investor to help share the burden and solve the distribution and agency problem.
I got home around 6 p.m.
The sky above the city was ablaze with fiery clouds, which looked beautiful.
"Brother, you're back!"
I heard the sound of the living room door opening.
Huang Yun, who was cooking while wearing an apron, came out to greet them with a smile, along with Xu Li.
"Why are you so happy!?"
Huang Min asked with a smile, "Could it be that your parents paid you for your hard work over the past few days?"
"We get paid daily there."
Huang Yun explained, "I called Sister Su Qing, and she told me your movie will be released on August 1st. Brother, you're amazing! I thought you made a movie that only you could watch!"
"Your brother is a legitimate director."
Huang Min laughed.
"They're just joking; what movie isn't serious?"
Huang Yun replied irritably, "Brother, then you sit down first. Xu Li and I will finish cooking the remaining two dishes, and then we can eat. Tonight, I'll let you taste Xu Li's cooking skills, this girl from Xiangcheng. I watched her cook, and she really likes to put chili peppers in her dishes, but they taste really good and are especially good with rice."
After the two girls went back into the kitchen, Huang Min picked up the remote control for his air conditioner and turned the temperature down a bit. It had been so hot outside these past few days that his back was soaked with sweat on the way back.
In about ten minutes, the two girls had finished cooking. The three of them sat down in the living room and dining room to eat. Huang Min choked on the spiciness after his first bite.
After seeing the water his sister brought him, Huang Min drank several mouthfuls before feeling much better. He asked, "Xu Li, do they put this much chili in their stir-fries back home?"
"That's still considered low."
Xu Li replied with a smile.
"Xu Li always brings her own homemade chili sauce when she eats in the cafeteria."
Huang Yun patted her older brother on the back and replied, "At first I didn't like it either, but after eating it for a while, I realized it's actually quite delicious."
"All right!"
Huang Min nodded.
After finishing the meal, Huang Min felt like his throat was about to explode. His sister and Xu Li seemed to be doing fine. Huang Min was glad he didn't have hemorrhoids, otherwise he might have had a flare-up. He drank two large glasses of water in the living room and felt much better. He then took his clothes from the balcony and went into the bathroom.
In a few minutes, he finished showering, changed into his pajamas, made a cup of tea, and carried it into the study.
After sitting down, Huang Min opened his laptop and was about to write a script when he saw a notification light on his phone. He reached for the phone and looked at it.
Don't take what my mom said to heart.
This was sent by my younger sister's counselor, Teacher Anhe.
Huang Min thought for a moment, then pointed to the language option and said jokingly, "Seeing each other twice in a row, especially this afternoon, I feel quite destined. Why don't we give it a try!"
soon.
Teacher Anhe replied in the same way, using voice.
"Don't joke around, we're not a good match. Although I don't believe the online reviews of you, in other aspects..."
Upon reaching this point, it seemed that Teacher An He was also hesitant about what to say, so she simply stopped talking. A few seconds later, another voice message came through. Huang Min tapped it, and An He's voice rang out on his phone: "Anyway, you're a good person. You're so handsome, you'll definitely find women who like you in the future."
"it is good"
Huang Min tapped the voice message: "Then please come visit me more often, Teacher An, after all, you are my sister's tutor."
Put the phone aside.
Huang Min then continued writing his next script.
As time went by, the sky, which had been brightly lit by the window not long ago, gradually darkened. Huang Min was busy until about ten o'clock before he closed his laptop, finished his water glass, and prepared to go back to his room to sleep. He noticed that Teacher Anhe had sent him another voice message, and Huang Min reached out and tapped it.
"must"
Two very simple words.
Huang Min turned off his phone and went straight back to his room.
Night quickly fell over the city, and in the following days, Changkong Media began promoting "The Terror Live." Although the promotional budget of 20 million yuan seemed substantial, it was still incomparable to the marketing and distribution costs of many films.
However, it's a good thing that I don't have to pay out of my own pocket.
"After five years of meticulous work, Teacher Zhou brings 'The Terror Live' to the screen."
"The only closed-off one-man show in film history"
"A film that exposes reality: Reasons why you absolutely must watch 'The Terror Live'"
"A chilling metaphor for reality, Teacher Zhou's performance is high-energy throughout."
Seeing that Changkong Media's publicity department had come up with such a headline, Huang Min didn't say anything. The main reason was that there wasn't much room for promotion for this movie. There was no CP (couple pairing) between the male and female leads to hype. The director himself was quite a topic of discussion, but once he came out, before he could clear his name, "The Terror Live" would be boycotted upon release.
On July 12th, Huang Min received a call from Teacher Zhou Nian while he was writing a script at home.
"Is it really going to be released on August 1st, and distributed by Changkong Media!?"
At first, I heard that Huang Min had made an appointment with the distribution manager of Huatian Entertainment and almost beat him up. Unexpectedly, a few days later, "The Terror Live" was actually scheduled to be released on August 1st, just as Huang Min had hoped.
"kindness"
Huang Min nodded.
"What percentage of the distribution agency fee is there!?"
On anniversary, she asked with concern, "It's not going to be 15 or 20 percent, is it? If that's the case, even if your movie grosses over 100 million, you won't make much money!"
"The final deal was a 7% distribution agency fee, but Changkong Media covered 20 million in marketing and distribution costs. By the way, the chairman of Changkong Media wants to invest in my next movie. If 'The Terror Live' fails, I've essentially secured an investment for you in advance. What do you say to that?!"
Huang Min asked with a smile, "Do you want to operate it alone, or...?"
"That's great!"
Before Huang Min could finish speaking, Zhou Nian's happy voice came over: "I was worried that I would have to invest alone. If you won the bid, I might have to mortgage my house like you did! My wife might even make a fuss about it. I didn't expect you to bring me an investor directly. I'm so grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word."
"Stand up and say that I was slandered by Lin Wan."
Huang Min spoke up.
"..."
Teacher Zhou's voice disappeared from the phone instantly.
After a long pause, Zhou Nian's gloomy voice came: "You're making me, an ant, try to shake up your ex-wife's big tree! Brother Min, let me go! It's not that I don't want to help, but your ex-wife's status in the entertainment industry is too high now, and her connections are too strong. If you hadn't asked me to act in your movie, given my situation, I'd be dead by now, even without her touching me. If she really did touch me, I'd be dead already."
"Soon"
Huang Min spoke up.
"What do you mean, soon!?"
On anniversary, he asked subconsciously.
You're almost not an ant anymore.
Sitting in his study chair, Huang Min turned to look out the window, which was bathed in the intense sunlight of midsummer. As the cicadas began to chirp, he smiled and said, "You should be able to return to the top tier soon."
