Chapter 69 Propaganda 5
"Isn't that a bit too harsh?!"
Su Qing was somewhat skeptical.
I don't deny that.
Huang Min knew that Su Qing hadn't immediately shifted from the mindset of a career woman, so he laughed and said, "The problem lies in a ingrained way of thinking. Some reporters might think that I'm already in such a miserable state, that I even attempted suicide, so there's no need to keep targeting me. But when they think that if they don't report on it, others will, then why can't they report on it? After all, if he doesn't eat the blood-soaked bun, someone else will. Since we're all going to be eaten anyway, we might as well eat it ourselves."
Su Qing picked up the water glass on the coffee table and took two sips of water.
Huang Min's laughter reached my ears: "Actually, there's nothing hard to explain about this. It's a very simple and easy-to-understand principle: 'If you don't do it, someone else will.' Once you understand this, everything becomes clear. The entertainment industry is different from the workplace. Although there are many unspoken rules in the workplace, at least they are somewhat concealed. The entertainment industry is different. Every rule of the game is very naked. People who are too kind and honest will not be able to make it in this industry..."
Reaching out to smooth the Xuan paper, Huang Min looked at the characters he had written and couldn't help but nod.
He didn't have a hobby of writing or painting in his previous life.
I can't draw either.
But thanks to the good fortune of the former Huang Min, whose handwriting is beautiful and whose paintings are also quite good, Huang Min has been passing the time these past few days by writing scripts at home and painting.
Even his casual writing has a touch of calligraphic style, which makes Huang Min himself want to write as well.
While blowing the ink off the Xuan paper, Huang Min asked, "When a person is not doing well, it's often not because of a lack of ability, but because their moral standards are set too high. They disdain dining and drinking with leaders and are unwilling to flatter them. If that's the case, why not lower your moral standards a bit? Once you lower them, you might find that your life is much better. If there is a change, then you might as well lower them a little more and see after a while. Perhaps there will be an unexpected surprise."
"Are your current moral standards high or low?!"
Su Qing asked.
"Neither too high nor too low, it mainly depends on who you're dealing with."
Huang Min laughed and said, "My main feature is that it has a lot of flexibility; it can be very high or very low."
The cicadas were still chirping outside the window. Huang Min saw that the ink on his calligraphy was almost completely dry, so he rolled up the Xuan paper and handed it to Su Qing: "Here, take this. Frame it and hang it on your wall when you get home."
"don't want"
Su Qing shook her head and refused.
She already has two paintings hanging in her home, plus the two modern oil paintings she already had, so there's no more room to hang them. It's not that there's no room, it's just that if she keeps hanging them like this, she won't feel at home anymore, and it will feel like she's walking into an art studio or calligraphy exhibition hall.
Three paintings were sent in such a short time.
If she doesn't refuse, given how often Huang Min writes and draws, she might have to give him even more in the future.
Don't be shy.
Huang Min spoke up.
"Really, no."
Su Qing said earnestly, "Our home is small and there's no more room to hang it. You should keep it to give to someone else. Your handwriting is so beautiful, and your paintings are quite good too. You won't have trouble finding a suitable recipient."
"I always thought you had high emotional intelligence, but it turns out you don't."
Huang Min smiled and replied, then turned and went into his study to put the four characters "厚德载物" (Hou De Zai Wu, meaning "Great virtue carries all things") he had written into the painting tube. He had written and painted quite a few in the past few days, which had made his house a bit cluttered with calligraphy and paintings. Huang Min planned to wait until his younger sister started school so that she could take a few of them back to school and hang them on the dormitory wall.
You can also send a few paintings to Xu Li.
"What if your ex-wife tries something desperate?!"
Su Qing asked with some concern.
"Can't jump"
Huang Min said without the slightest concern, "I now have a powerful card in my hand that can suppress her once."
In the following days, the promotional strategy for "The Terror Live" remained unchanged, still focusing on who the director was.
"Snap"
A sound like a phone hitting the floor came from behind.
Lin Wan stared at her manager, gritting her teeth as she asked, "Is this the effect you were talking about!?"
"I……"
Zhang Xiaohua wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.
Who would have thought that "The Terror Live" would choose this method to promote the movie? She had just had her studio announce who the director of "The Terror Live" was, and Huang Min was now focusing on guiding those directors who had retired for several years.
Even if these directors have repeatedly stated that they did not direct the films.
However, the discussion surrounding "The Terror Live" has already taken off. Just the promotional trailer for "The Terror Live" that Lin Wan just viewed had already generated thousands of discussion posts.
In other words, the money invested here not only had no effect, but also benefited Huang Min, making his film "The Terror Live" receive more attention. Seeing that her agent was hesitant to speak, Lin Wan said directly, "Right now, take my public WeChat account and say that 'The Terror Live' was directed by Huang Min."
"this……"
Zhang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment.
Private matters may be private, but if it's made public, it would be tantamount to Lin Wan launching a second attack on Huang Min. After a slight hesitation, Zhang Xiaohua nodded.
She had just taken out her phone to make a call when it rang first. Zhang Xiaohua took it out and saw that it was Han Dong's number from Changkong Media. Zhang Xiaohua had a bad feeling.
She tapped the call button.
"Give the phone to Lin Wan."
A middle-aged man's voice came from inside.
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly handed the phone to Lin Wan, deliberately lowering her voice to whisper, "Han Cheng, Chairman of Changkong Media." Lin Wan took the phone and respectfully greeted him, "Chairman Han."
"The Terror Live" is distributed by Changkong Media.
Han Cheng's few words made Lin Wan tighten her grip on her phone, and at the same time, the color drained from her face, turning her pale.
The voice on the phone continued: "You could pretend you didn't know before, but now I'm calling to tell you, I can't interfere in your private affairs with Huang Min, but if you want to do 'Terror Live,' you're going against Changkong Media."
Done.
Before Lin Wan could react, Han Cheng had already hung up the phone.
The living room became unusually quiet; even the sound of the air conditioner seemed to have disappeared. Seeing Lin Wan clutching her phone tightly with a rather grim expression, Zhang Xiaohua knew the reason without even guessing: Changkong Media had intervened.
Zhang Xiaohua had long anticipated this possibility. Signing the distribution agency contract meant that Huang Min and Changkong Media were temporarily bound by shared interests.
If we try to suppress the Huang people on our side, they will inevitably intervene.
"It's fine"
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiaohua comforted him, "It's just a movie release. Who knows how many days it will last? If the theaters see low attendance, they'll just reduce the number of screenings. The more you take Huang Min seriously, the more he becomes important. When you stop taking him seriously, he'll be nothing."
When he said this.
Zhang Xiaohua's tone became less firm.
She had seen the trailer for the movie "The Terror Live," and it seemed to be quite convincing, especially considering that Huang Min, despite being suppressed step by step by her and Lin Wan, still managed to make the movie, which was about to be released...
Zhang Xiaohua is now genuinely worried that she and Lin Wan might force out a successful director by working together.
That would be a nightmare.
