Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

Chapter 88 Collaboration with Cinemas 4

......

It was almost 11 o'clock.

The streetlights were already on, and a car was driving along the road. Su Qing turned her head and looked at Huang Min, who had been plied with a lot of alcohol by Manager Wan and Minister Wang of Zhongteng Pictures, with some concern, and asked, "Are you alright?!"

Huang Min did not answer.

He stared ahead with eyes full of intoxication.

"hehe"

Su Qing chuckled twice.

This guy is acting like a complete idiot right now, it's actually quite amusing. Huang Min let out a burp and finally spoke: "You can't drink this small sip of wine."

"really"

Su Qing nodded in agreement.

The two senior executives of Zhongteng Pictures were clearly the epitome of small-sip drinking. Once the deal was finalized, the two of them shared a small glass of liquor, taking three sips in total. With each sip, they would chatter on and on with Huang Min, before taking another sip. They had arrived a little after six o'clock and finished reading the script around eight o'clock, but it was only eleven o'clock now.

In other words, after finalizing the matter, the two of them talked about pointless nonsense with Huang Min for almost three hours, making Su Qing feel sleepy.

The three of them drank a total of three bottles of baijiu. When the two left the hotel private room, their steps were steady and they were not affected at all. However, Huang Min was a little overdrunk because of the two's small sips of alcohol.

Seeing Huang Min's pained expression after he finished speaking, Su Qing asked with concern, "Do you feel like throwing up? If you do, I'll stop the car and let you throw up on the side of the road."

"without"

Huang Min shook his head: "I'm really dizzy right now, the alcohol is stuck in my body and I can't get rid of it... It must be from taking the hangover medicine you prepared beforehand, I won't take it next time."

"And now you're blaming me?"

Su Qing laughed and said, "If it really doesn't work, try gagging yourself and spitting out the wine; that should make you feel much better."

"unnecessary"

Huang Min refused outright.

"what ever"

Since Huang Min wouldn't listen to her advice, Su Qing didn't force him. At most, he would vomit in the car, and she would wash the car tomorrow.

When Su Qing looked at Huang Min again, he had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed, leaning back in the car seat. Su Qing slowed down the car, probably because Huang Min smelled of alcohol, which made the car smell pungent as well.

Recalling how Huang Min had stopped two senior executives from Zhongteng Pictures from offering her a drink not long ago, Su Qing suddenly felt that following such a boss wasn't so bad.

As they approached Chungmuro, Su Qing pulled out Huang Yun's number and dialed it.

After the call connected, Su Qing said, "Your brother is drunk. Come down and help me carry him upstairs."

"I'll go down now."

Before Su Qing could say "I'll be downstairs in five minutes," Huang Yun had already hung up the phone. Su Qing didn't call back. After the car turned onto Zhongwu Road, Su Qing turned and glanced at Huang Min.

Her boss was fast asleep, and from the side, he looked quite sophisticated, with high proportions and a firm jaw. Su Qing looked away and continued driving. She couldn't understand what Lin Wan was thinking.

However, Su Qing is now certain of one thing: Lin Wan will definitely regret it in the future. She probably already has some regrets about the success of "The Terror Live".

The car had just been parked downstairs in the residential area.

Su Qing saw Huang Yun, who was wearing pajamas, and Xu Li, her classmate who lived in her house, walk over. Su Qing reached out and nudged Huang Min. Seeing that he was not awake, she gently patted his face.

"Um"

Huang Min opened his eyes.

"We're downstairs at your building. Go upstairs and sleep!"

Su Qing spoke up.

"Oh"

Huang Min responded, and the car door opened. Huang Yun and Xu Li each helped Huang Min upstairs. As they walked, Huang Yun said, "Sister Su, you're not allowed to let my brother drink so much in the future. Dong Sheng is hiring, right? Then they should specifically hire someone who can hold their liquor and is good at talking."

"Know"

Su Qing agreed.

Even without her boss's sister saying anything, Su Qing was already planning to hire someone like that. It wasn't really appropriate for her to go along since she didn't drink, so it would be better to just hire someone who was eloquent and could drink. That way, if something like this happened again, even if the boss, Huang Min, couldn't escape it, someone would share the burden.

Upon entering the living room, Huang Min immediately felt a churning in his stomach. He shook off his sister and Xu Li's hands, rushed into the bathroom, and began vomiting into the toilet.

After vomiting, Huang Min felt much better.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Huang Yun gently patted her older brother on the back.

"fine"

Feeling somewhat sober, Huang Min asked his sister to bring him his clothes. After quickly rinsing himself off, Huang Min lay back down on the bed and fell asleep. He placed two glasses of water on his older brother's bedside table before Huang Yun closed the door to the second bedroom and left.

"Why"

Huang Yun sighed softly.

"What's wrong!?"

Xu Li asked.

"My brother used to be just a second-tier actor. He rarely drank and didn't like it. I never expected that after becoming a boss, he would start drinking."

Done.

Still feeling uneasy, Huang Yun went into the second bedroom again to take a look. Seeing that her older brother was snoring, she left again.

The next morning, Huang Min woke up with a terrible headache. He picked up his phone and saw that it was already 10:30, so he quickly got out of bed.

After washing up, Huang Min noticed two ears of corn and two eggs in a pot in the kitchen. He took them into the living room, sat down, and started eating. His sister's voice came through the security camera in the living room.

"Brother, you're awake! Does your head still hurt?"

Huang Yun asked.

"pain"

Huang Min replied.

"Who told you to drink so much? If the business deal isn't going to go through, then it isn't going to go through. There's no need to risk your health."

Huang Yun said, "Once your health is ruined, no amount of money can buy it back."

"knew"

Huang Min responded.

At this stage, it's not like he can just say he won't drink anymore. Only when he makes a few more successful movies, Dong Sheng Films develops, and he gains influence in the entertainment industry, will it really be true that he won't have to drink anymore.

in the afternoon.

Su Qing called to say that an investment contract had been signed with Zhongteng Pictures. In addition, Zhongteng Pictures also gave Huang Min a list of actors.

The male lead will definitely be played by Teacher Zhou again.

But there are still two policemen left... Zhongteng Pictures hopes Huang Min can choose from the male actors in their company. After looking at the list of male actors sent by Su Qing, Huang Min simply threw it aside.

It's not that the actors are bad, but they are all established male actors whose salaries alone would be in the millions or tens of millions, which would increase his production costs.

Huang Min now prefers male actors with good acting skills and low pay. Fame is not the most important thing. Su Qing also mentioned another matter: she secured five million for Huang Min, plus a 3% share of the box office as a director's fee.

This pleased Huang Min somewhat.

He had almost forgotten about it, but Su Qing remembered.

That same afternoon.

Yang Dong's agent, Li Yan, received a call from a director with whom he had previously collaborated, who had recently visited Yang Dong with the script and talked with him for several hours.

"Sorry, the company asked me to choose another male lead."
