Chapter 110 Sign Four
Huang Min almost died laughing at Su Yan's words.
This surgery must be quite serious. Seeing Huang Min, who had just left after his audition, return with his younger brother, Su Qing immediately looked displeased: "Why did you bring him in?!"
"sister"
Su Yan shouted, pointing at Huang Min, "Isn't this your company's director? He actually invited me to make a movie! Sis, I've already agreed, you can't stop me, I'm doing this for art!"
"Shut up"
Su Qing said coldly.
Su Yan immediately covered her mouth.
Seeing this, Huang Min knew that Su Yan was not only disliked by his older sister Su Qing, but she probably beat him a lot when they were young, otherwise he wouldn't have developed a conditioned reflex to "hammering". He patted Su Yan lightly and said with a smile, "It's okay. You said it. Your sister is still my employee. Here, I'm the one who calls the shots."
"Bro, do you have a girlfriend?!"
Su Yan asked this question directly.
"No"
Huang Min glanced at Su Qing, then shook his head with a smile.
"Brother-in-law"
Su Yan called out decisively, noticing his sister's gaze turn cold towards him. He immediately moved closer to Huang Min and whispered, "Sis, I'm doing this for your own good. Your boss is so handsome and runs such a big company. He's clearly a young and successful man. Since you're single anyway, it would be great if you went from being a subordinate to the boss's wife. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your brother. Dongsheng Film Industry, right? The name sounds high-end and classy, which suits my brother-in-law's status."
"Uncle—no, Su Yan"
Huang Min laughed and said, "It's a bit early to call her that now. Wait until I've won your sister over."
Noticing Su Qing's cold expression, Huang Min coughed twice and immediately changed the subject to business: "Manager Su, didn't you want to make a low-budget web series? It just so happens that your brother has been cast as the male lead. When I saw your brother at the door just now, I knew he was an exceptional person."
"Brother-in-law"
Su Yan immediately shouted, then added, "You're handsome too. We can be called the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix."
Huang Min's smile momentarily became somewhat forced.
"Don't joke around."
Su Qing replied, "My younger brother is not suitable."
"I'm not kidding."
Huang Min's smile faded, and he said, "I'll work on the script tonight and get Director Wang Xiao to come and film it first. It should be quick, maybe two or three days at most. Don't worry, if it's a disaster and we lose money, that's my problem. You don't need to worry about it."
"Sis, just listen to your brother-in-law, it's this web series—"
Su Yan was somewhat disappointed: "I thought my brother-in-law was some kind of frivolous director! Since he's a serious director, a web series is fine too. Actually, I look pretty good naked."
"If I ever hear you say another word, I'll sew your mouth shut with a needle."
Su Qing said coldly.
"I'm not going to say anymore, I'm not going to say anymore."
Su Yan quickly waved his hand.
"Are you sure!?"
Su Qing looked at Huang Min and asked again.
"Sure"
Huang Min said seriously, "Your younger brother is quite suitable. By the way, send someone to check Changkong Media's advertising expenses tomorrow."
After explaining the situation, Huang Min left.
As for whether "Unexpectedly" can unleash the same energy as on Earth, Huang Min is not quite sure. However, he is willing to give it a try. The production cycle is short and the production cost is low. Even if it loses money, Huang Min does not care. If it really becomes popular, it can bring good profits to Dong Sheng Film Industry.
When Huang Min got home that evening, he wrote down the web series from memory.
This is much easier to write than a movie script. There are only a few lines, and the beginning of one line is particularly catchy. The next afternoon, Huang Min sent the web series he had spent several hours writing the night before, plus the morning's writing, to assistant director Wang Xiao.
The company's location scouting team is currently looking for suitable filming locations according to his requirements. The production crew is currently unemployed, and sending some people to film this short drama will not have a significant impact.
This short drama can incorporate a lot of GG (Goblin) elements, which is perfect for the company to have people talk to brands about.
That night.
Huang Min received a call from Han Cheng of Changkong Media.
"Director Huang, what do you mean by this?!"
Han Cheng sounded unusually angry on the phone.
"It means what you see."
Huang Min stated directly, "Has Changkong Media invested the stipulated publicity fees for 'Terror Live' as agreed in the agreement? If they have, we can continue our cooperation. If they haven't, then I'm sorry, I don't cooperate with companies that lack credibility."
"Director Huang, if it weren't for Changkong Media's help with distribution—"
"Don't say that."
Huang Min interrupted Han Cheng: "Business is about win-win situations. Don't try to make money and then do favors. And I remember clearly how you brought Wang Daming from Rongcheng Cinema to extort me. Having received such a large distribution fee for 'The Terror Live,' Changkong Media should have handled the theater connections, but you brought him to me instead. You really know how to do things. Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Didn't that movie Changkong Media released in July lose a lot of money? It's perfect timing to use 'The Terror Live'..."
"I'll use the money to buy some band-aids to stop the bleeding, so I don't bleed to death."
After saying that, Huang Min hung up the phone.
The fact that Han Cheng called and was so angry clearly showed that Su Qing had sent people to Changkong Media to find out that there were too many discrepancies in the publicity expenses for the movie "The Terror Live". Han Cheng realized that he was going to kick Changkong Media out of the list of investors for the next project, and he was getting anxious.
The phone rang again.
Huang Min didn't even bother to answer the call.
Working with such an unruly company is fine once; Dongsheng Pictures is no longer the shell company it was a few months ago, without even an office.
Early September.
After a month in theaters, "The Terror Live" has officially ended its theatrical run, with a total box office of 703 million yuan, ranking third in August's box office. The first place is a movie called "The Storm Riders," with a total box office of over 2.2 billion yuan.
The second place went to a film called "Story on the Edge of the Clouds," adapted from a bestselling youth novel. Due to its large readership and the director's faithful adaptation of the novel, the film received widespread acclaim and grossed 1.5 billion yuan at the box office.
On that afternoon in early September, Zhang Jianhua returned to his office, packed his belongings into a cardboard box, and then walked out of Huatian Entertainment, where he had worked for more than ten years.
Until now.
Zhang Jianhua's inner frustration not only did not decrease, but actually intensified.
He asked Huang Min for 20% of the distribution agency fee, and then that bastard ripped him off, spreading rumors everywhere that he thought the other party's movie was of high quality, so he wanted to ask for an exorbitant price.
He was asking for an exorbitant amount, even though he hadn't even seen the movie.
If he had actually seen it, he wouldn't have felt that he was wronged.
As a result, the company blamed him entirely for missing out on the film's distribution rights, leading to his immediate dismissal. Looking at the dazzling light overhead, Zhang Jianhua felt like crying.
He really hadn't seen The Terror Live.
Why doesn't anyone believe it?
