Chapter 34 Acting 4
"Cannot be caught"
Huang Min shook his head.
Huang Min wouldn't mind if Su Qing had any feelings for him, but since she didn't, he wouldn't force it.
Having worked in this industry for so many years in his past life, Huang Min understood one thing long ago: when a person is down on their luck, even drinking cold water can cause them to choke, let alone finding a girlfriend.
Like her own sister's tutor, this tutor knows her own situation, so she directly gave her the "friend card." If she were to successfully transform into a big director and hand the "friend card" to her, she might not necessarily give it to her.
Humans are creatures that know how to seek advantage and avoid harm.
Given his current situation and reputation, it's understandable if he doesn't know, but since he knows that staying away is the most sensible thing to do, these things are not on his mind until he succeeds.
Successful.
Then there's even less need to consider it.
Huang Min knows exactly what life is like for the big director; he has no trouble finding women.
"Take your time!"
Hearing her older brother say this, Huang Yun was a little unhappy: "I didn't ask you to immediately win over Sister Su. Instead, you should first express that you are interested in her, such as buying a box of chocolates and sending a bouquet of roses, and subtly win her heart."
"Do you think Su Qing, with her personality, would like chocolate and roses?!"
Huang Min continued to review the expense details compiled by Su Qing. Filming for "Terror Live" started on May 15th, and today is May 20th, which means that only five days have passed since filming began, but over a million yuan has already been spent.
The crew's salaries, including those for cameraman, lighting technician, art director, pyrotechnician, makeup artist, and sound engineer, amount to approximately 100,000 yuan per day.
The live-streaming studio and filming set cost over 300,000 yuan.
The equipment rental and renovation costs another 100,000 a day. The rest is for food and transportation. For example, the male lead gets 5% of the box office revenue, but before the film is released, the crew still has to cover the transportation costs. Even if it's not much, it still adds up to two or three thousand a month.
After a quick glance, Huang Min knew that this movie couldn't possibly be made for five million. He had previously thought that five million was about right because firstly, the male lead wasn't paid according to his salary, and secondly, he was directing it himself, which saved a lot of money. As for other aspects, like special effects... just like on Earth, AR has also developed here, which has reduced the cost of simple special effects shots.
"elder brother"
Seeing that her older brother hadn't reacted after she'd been talking for a while, Huang Yun couldn't help but call out twice.
"I heard you."
Huang Min replied, "If you're really worried that your older brother won't be able to find a wife, you can arrest your sister Su Qing and let your older brother continue to carry on the Huang family line."
"That won't do."
Huang Yun immediately shook her head and refused: "If I get caught, I'm a college graduate, after all. Just for my older brother to continue the family line, I would commit a crime and stand in court. I would be embarrassed."
Before Huang Min could react, Uncle Zheng, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh.
"See? Even Uncle Zheng is laughing. The judge, the jury, and the lawyers in court must be laughing their heads off. I can't afford to lose face like that. You should go after Sister Su yourself! Chocolates and flowers won't work. You need to think of something else. You used to be able to do it, didn't you? You're the one who won over my ex-sister-in-law."
Huang Yun spoke up.
"That's because they had just graduated from school, while I was already somewhat famous in the film and television industry. They took the initiative to come to me."
After reviewing the expense details, Huang Min had a general idea of what to expect. He knew he needed to be extra careful during filming and couldn't afford to go too far over budget. If he did, even if the film was completed smoothly, there wouldn't be much money left for promotion. After closing the expense list, Huang Min asked, "Uncle Zheng, how's your taxi business been lately?"
In the morning, Uncle Zheng would go to Huang Min's house to take him to the film set, and before finishing work in the evening, he would go to the film set to pick him up and take him home.
At noon, Huang Min didn't need a car, so he gave Uncle Zheng complete freedom. Whether he went home to sleep or continued to drive a taxi, Huang Min didn't care. However, Uncle Zheng usually chose to drive directly to earn some more money.
"Not bad, I can earn over three hundred a day."
Uncle Zheng replied with a smile.
He is now extremely satisfied with his life. Although he didn't take the 200,000 yuan, it's only once in the morning and once in the evening, and the rest of the time doesn't prevent him from making money.
That's roughly equivalent to earning two salaries.
"That's good"
Huang Min nodded.
When she got home, it was almost 7:30. Huang Yun went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a piece of beef and two tomatoes, and started getting busy.
Huang Min took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and came out just as his sister brought out the braised beef and tomato noodles. Huang Min took the chopsticks his sister handed him and started eating.
"Brother, do you miss Xiaobai?!"
suddenly.
Huang Yun asked this question.
"noob!?"
Huang Min was taken aback.
For a moment, Huang Min was still a little taken aback.
It wasn't until his younger sister looked up at him that Huang Min realized who Xiao Bai was. This was the son of Huang Min and Lin Wan, the same Huang Xiu Bai whose nickname was "Xiao Bai" that Lin Wan had brought to the reporters to say that his father had beaten him.
Without much hesitation, Huang Min said, "If you want, you can call Lin Wan, but... I doubt she'll let you see Xiao Bai, much less let you bring him out to play."
"Won't you be angry if I hit you!?"
Huang Yun asked uncertainly.
"What are you angry about!?"
Huang Min laughed and said, "You are Xiaobai's aunt, and his only aunt. It's normal for you to call him or take him out for a day. Lin Wan is Lin Wan, and Xiaobai is Xiaobai. Even if this kid stands up and does something outrageous, I won't blame him."
When he said this.
Huang Min's expression was somewhat gloomy.
He hadn't done anything wrong, but he ended up with a son. The worst part was that the son's mother was both slandering him and trying to ruin him. When she heard her older brother say this, Huang Yun immediately became happy. She took out her phone and dialed Lin Wan's number right in front of her older brother.
Then... she discovered she had been blocked.
Without much hesitation, Huang Min took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it. Just like his sister Huang Yun, the number was blocked.
"Brother, does that mean we'll never see Xiaobai again!?"
Huang Yun said with some sadness.
Huang Min didn't answer. He pulled out another number, and after two rings, he answered. A middle-aged woman's voice came through: "What's up?!"
"Putting aside the matter of you betraying me, and the matter of Lin Wan slandering me and poaching my lighting team, we'll talk about that later. Right now, my sister wants to talk to Xiaobai. If you're at Lin Wan's house, then hand over the phone..."
Before Huang Min could finish speaking, a clear but cold voice came from the phone: "Impossible," and then the call was hung up. Huang Min shrugged at his sister: "Then there's nothing we can do."
Huang Min was secretly pleased.
Don't you know how to watch it?
We can bring this up later.
