Chapter 53 Challenge 1
"That Wang Zhi is really wicked."
Looking at Zhang Li, who was crying on the phone screen, Huang Min, sitting in the director's chair, smiled.
"..."
Su Qing was slightly taken aback and asked, "You're that happy?! At this moment, you should be the one who can't possibly be smiling."
Ever since she met Huang Min, this man has shown her things that Su Qing doesn't quite understand.
Just like now... another man should have been extremely angry, but Su Qing didn't see the slightest sign of anger in Huang Min. On the contrary, he seemed quite happy.
You don't understand.
Huang Min replied with a smile.
Why is he angry? It's not like he's the one who got cheated on.
Especially... in his previous life, he was already so old. Although he was relatively healthy, he was at most just robust. Unlike now, his age has suddenly dropped so much. Huang Min can clearly feel that his body is in very good condition. Perhaps it's because the Huang Min of the past was more laid-back and didn't have the habit of smoking or drinking, so he took good care of his body.
Every morning when he wakes up, the first thing he has to do when he goes to the bathroom is to use his fingers to press down the toilet, otherwise he can't get the water out properly. But these past few days, Huang Min has been waking up half an hour earlier and doing some physical training in his living room, and the results have been surprisingly good.
Besides.
He also retained his understanding of acting and his insights into life from his previous life, which is something that no amount of money can buy. Therefore, Huang Min was never angry from beginning to end, and he resolved the issues gradually as they arose.
Huang Min didn't believe that Lin Wan was completely flawless. Even if she was flawless, as long as "The Terror Live" was successful, all the pressure on him would be gone. No matter how big a star an actor is, he's still an actor and can't compare to a director.
Noticing that Su Qing was staring at him absentmindedly, Huang Min reached out to push her thigh, but Su Qing dodged it. Huang Min wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he smiled and asked, "My hand is getting stronger and stronger now, so even if 'Terror Live' fails, my future prospects are still bright. There's no need for me to look for a new job; I can just stay and continue to help me."
"Know"
Su Qing nodded: "Your acting is very good. When you return to the big screen, you can take on endorsements and commercial performances, which will allow me to earn a lot of money."
"Okay, that's enough."
Huang Min raised his hand to stop Su Qing, realizing what she was about to say.
"I've already found a musician to try out the background music you requested."
talking.
Su Qing took out her phone, opened the music platform, found a song, and handed it to Huang Min: "This is a song I found on the instrumental music chart last night at home. It's called 'Final Dance,' and I think a short part of it is quite suitable."
Huang Min took the song and listened attentively. Su Qing continued, "However, I took a look. This piece was composed by a musician named Stanford. Currently, the copyright for this song is held by a foreign music company called Baina. If you decide to use this song, the copyright fee will not be a small amount."
Huang Min remained silent.
At first, the melody was normal, but as the melody began to stretch, the atmosphere gradually rose from a suppressed low hum to an overwhelming torrent of instrumental music.
Its melody seemed to carry an extreme sense of suppressed anger and despair, especially with the tragic feeling of the strings being torn apart. Huang Min listened to it twice before turning to Su Qing and saying, "Contact this Baina directly."
"it is good"
Seeing that Huang Min decided to use this instrumental piece as the background music for the final scene of "The Terror Live," Su Qing did not raise any objections. Instead, she directly said, "I'll continue to have him do the music. It'll only cost a few tens of thousands of yuan. Wan Yi Na's quote is too high. We also have alternatives."
"You can make these decisions yourself."
Huang Min didn't say anything more.
Ultimately, it's because he doesn't have much money right now. If Baina offers two or three hundred thousand US dollars, Huang Min will have to give up even if he doesn't want to.
In many aspects, he doesn't have many choices, unlike some directors who spend a million US dollars to buy the music copyright of a certain singer to use as the end credits song for a movie.
As Su Qing got up to leave, Huang Min reminded her, "Just keep Zhang Li's lead; there's no need to invest too much effort in it. It's not necessarily the money he paid."
Seeing Su Qing tilting her head to look at him, Huang Min couldn't help but laugh: "Once a woman chooses to have an affair, she will give thousands or even tens of thousands of times more to the other man than to her own husband. That Wang Zhi is too wicked; he looks like he's particularly attractive."
Su Qing's body stiffened.
If Huang Min weren't her boss, and if he didn't seem quite normal usually, Su Qing would definitely have advised him to go to the hospital to get his brain checked. After Su Qing left, Huang Min continued with his work.
As for Wang Zhi... that guy is completely ruined.
After Zhang Li came forward to accuse him, and with video evidence taken by reporters, he had no chance of making a comeback. The filming continued until 7 p.m. before the "Terror Live" crew finally wrapped up.
On the way back in Uncle Zheng's taxi, Huang Min glanced at the trending topics and saw that they were all about Wang Zhi. He casually browsed through them and then stopped paying attention.
One week later.
Su Qing finally got news from Baina Music Company, learning that the price was US$50,000. Huang Min directly had Su Qing sign a copyright licensing agreement with the representative of Baina Company's domestic branch.
Meanwhile, the three computer-generated CG shots, after being contracted out to another company, also achieved results that satisfied Huang Min.
July 2nd.
As Huang Min shouted "Cut!", all the crew members became excited. Huang Min took off the wireless monitoring earpiece in his ear and said, "The filming of 'The Terror Live' has wrapped up here. Thank you all for your hard work during this time. In addition to settling the fees we agreed on at the beginning, if 'The Terror Live' does well at the box office, I will definitely give everyone a red envelope after its release."
Hearing Director Huang say that...
Many young people cheered, but the older people remained indifferent, seemingly not taking Huang Min's words seriously.
Not long after.
The cast and crew of "The Terror Live" arrived at a restaurant.
It was just an ordinary restaurant with seven tables set up. Huang Min didn't drink alcohol, but instead raised his beverage and toasted each table. When he clinked glasses with Zhou Nian, who was drinking baijiu, Zhou Nian said, "I'm really a little reluctant to part with him."
"You're reluctant to part with this movie, where over ninety minutes of screen time revolves around you, aren't you!?"
Huang Min joked.
"That's part of the reason."
Anniversary celebration: "Anyway, we've already agreed."
"Know"
Huang Min patted Zhou Nian on the shoulder, and then went to toast Hu Lao: "Uncle Hu, I won't say thank you. You don't need to ask. As long as I can still act in the future, I will invite Hu Yu to play any suitable roles."
"I'll remember that."
Hu Zhong replied with a smile.
The wrap party lasted for almost two hours before it ended. After everyone dispersed, Huang Min and I left the restaurant.
A hot summer evening breeze blew by, and Su Qing reached out to smooth her long hair that was being tossed by the wind: "Next, we need to face the biggest challenge yet. No one will force you to drink tonight, but you'll have to drink from now on. I've prepared two boxes of hangover medicine for you to make sure you're safe."
