Chapter 636: Chapter 627: Heading to the Capital
Director Wang had finished his promotional campaign, and even though he didn’t go home for the New Year and was busy for a month, he finally achieved a good result.
As for the delayed takedown later, he didn’t need to worry about promotion. Why else would all the major theaters nationwide be willing to delay the release if the film wasn’t excellent?
You should know that the theater chains are the ones who make the big money from a film’s success.
They are the true moguls behind the scenes, and many are eager to curry favor with them.
As for the producers, investors, directors, and actors, they’re just earning a bit of hard money, and investors even have to bear significant investment risks.
In contrast, theater chains are a surefire business. Although Su Qing is envious, she knows that even with a narrator, rising to that level is not something that happens overnight.
At this level, while skill is one aspect, luck is the main factor. Catch the wave at the right time and seize the opportunity to rise with the wind. As they say, heroes are made by the times.
Nowadays, theater chains in various cities across the country have basically taken shape, and it’s impossible to make a move.
Opening one or two theaters is unnecessary, and it might even lose money.
Now, the cinemas in a city are generally fixed, and they’ve been naturally affected somewhat by the slump in real estate.
Therefore, trying to get a share in this area is very difficult.
After Director Wang finished his promotion, he also contacted Su Qing, and they arranged to meet in the capital. Meeting was secondary; dividing profits and discussing projects were the main reasons.
Both of them had their plans, so they quickly agreed to meet.
During this time, Shen Yi had finally calmed down after being overly indulgent at first.
With the warming temperature, Wen Jingqi’s project had already started, and Ding Qiang and Wang Xing had been so busy that they hadn’t had a moment’s rest.
They had invested too little money, and even though facing a huge gap, they could only consume it slowly.
"Alright, stop preparing. I’m not staying there for long, at most ten days to half a month. Why take so many clothes? Just a set of change is enough, and if not, I’ll buy more there!"
In the living room, watching Shen Yi pack his luggage, Su Qing shook her head and smiled.
Luckily he was leaving now. If he left with Su He, Shen Yi would probably be more reluctant.
Hearing his words, Shen Yi looked at the overstuffed suitcase with some embarrassment: "I was just worried you wouldn’t take good care of yourself outside. I guess I was worrying for nothing.
Ah... I should have prepared some change clothes for you over there after knowing you’d go to the capital after the New Year. It would save the trouble of bringing them back and forth!
By the way, this time when you go, just stay at my place. No need to stay at a hotel. I have a car there, and you can use it as you need.
For the company’s matters, I’ve talked to Tang Nan, and she’s arranged everything well. Just wait for you to go. Also, as you’re planning to establish a film investment company this time, there will inevitably be social engagements. Take Tang Nan with you then; she’s familiar with this. You can’t drink, so if you don’t like it, don’t drink it. You don’t have to consider anyone’s face or give anyone face. We’re the investors here; they’re the ones seeking us. Keep that mindset."
Abandoning the attempt to bring more clothes, Shen Yi began gently nagging and reminding him.
Her man was young and capable, but lacking in experience, so she still worried he might suffer.
Of course, she had another little concern: the entertainment circle had too many temptresses. Although confident in herself, she couldn’t guard against others throwing themselves at him for free.
Women are always exceptionally sensitive in this regard, so she wanted Su Qing to adjust his mindset.
Now he was the investor, and those who wanted to collaborate had to see his mood, rather than being manipulated by others. Moreover, with Tang Nan around, she felt at ease.
Though that funny woman often jokes and teases her man in front of her, she’s reliable when it counts. There’s also the matter of her knowing her man’s poor alcohol tolerance.
Listening to Shen Yi’s gentle nagging, Su Qing chuckled: "You still don’t trust me? When have you ever seen your brother suffer a loss?
Don’t worry. It’s just company matters and meeting Director Wang to see what connections he might have.
Once the negotiation is settled, I’ll come back. After all, I don’t work in the capital. If the film industry weren’t as developed there, I’d prefer to base the company in our Jiang City.
If you miss me, we can call each other at night to sleep. How about that?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi’s face lit up with joy: "It’s a deal, then!"
"Alright~~"
Su Qing replied dotingly, in a tone like coaxing a child, making Shen Yi’s face blush slightly.
She realized that her feelings had been noticed by that ’bad guy’.
Clearly, she was the older one in the relationship, but now she was treated like an underage girl, which embarrassed her.
After packing briefly, Shen Yi drove him to the airport.
"Come back soon, remember to call me at night!"
Outside the check-in gate, Shen Yi waved and called loudly to him inside.
Upon hearing it, Su Qing nodded, put down his suitcase, and made a heart shape above his head with his hands.
Even though he wore a mask, Shen Yi could still feel him teasing her, causing her to hum softly in response.
As she watched Su Qing gradually disappear into the crowd, she sighed and then took out her phone to call the landlord’s wife: "Sister Wen~~ my man has left, I need some comforting~~"
Meanwhile, as the plane took off, Su Qing arrived at the Capital Airport that afternoon.
And as soon as he stepped out, he saw a tomboy-like figure waving at him:
"Bro~ Bro!! Over here!"
It was none other than Su He, and she was not just shouting; she was also filming with her phone, clearly gathering content for her page.
One has to admit, just casually recording like this already made her a competent self-media creator.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask at the time; otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing. Although his online popularity had declined recently, he still preferred to wear a mask to reduce any potential trouble.
"Don’t you have classes today?"
Su Qing walked over and asked.
"It’s Friday today, just half-day classes, and they’re already over this morning. I have tomorrow off too." Su He replied cheerfully, clearly excited about his arrival.
"In that case, don’t return to school tonight; your sister-in-law’s place has a spare room."
"Alright, oh right, bro, we should hurry, Brother Nan is waiting for you outside!"
With that, Su He dragged him out of the airport.
They met a familiar muscular off-road vehicle, and Tang Nan lowered the window, wearing sunglasses, and waved to them:
"Yo, Xiao Yi finally let me borrow him for a play!"
Su Qing: ...
Su He: O(≧▽≦)O
Exciting
