How did I become famous?

It was past 2 a.m. when Fang Bie stared blankly at a Word document on his computer.

Fang Bie glanced at the still steaming tomato and egg noodle soup on the table and sighed.

This is a late-night snack that the young lady specially made for him because she saw him staying up late.

But the young lady had no idea that he was staying up all night writing the script for a dark film...

Fang felt somewhat guilty, especially after eating it right in front of him; he felt even more guilty.

Therefore, he plans to intensify his efforts to combat the virus.

Inheriting a fortune from home is clearly better than working in the entertainment industry!

So Fang Biehe became even more enthusiastic about his black-clad accusations.

At four in the morning, after finishing a lengthy article of several thousand words, Fang Bie sent it directly to Wu Kai and went to bed.

I hope I won't have nightmares tonight.

On the other side, Wu Kai was awakened by a WeChat ringtone.

He picked up his phone, glanced at the text Fang Bie had sent, and casually added a line: "[Su Zhe posted the article around 8:20 p.m. that night]" before sending it to those online troll leaders.

His wife, still half asleep, asked, "Who is it?"

Wu Kai gave her a look of disgust, then his eyes returned to a smile: "Just a junior colleague in the industry."

He turned off the light: "Go to sleep."

Meanwhile, Fang Bie, having finally put his mind at ease, drifted off into a sweet dream.

He didn't dream tonight.

............

"What did you say? It's already been submitted for review?"

It was the second day, and the young lady hadn't finished school yet. Fang Bie was chatting with Yoshikage Kira at the nail salon next door when Liu Mang came to deliver the news.

"Yeah, I called you for ages yesterday, but I couldn't get through. We already had an appointment, so I had no choice but to send it over first." Liu Mang took a drag of his cigarette and quickly asked, "Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

"No, no," Fang quickly shook his head.

He couldn't wait to submit the film for review and release, so that the young lady wouldn't have to worry about publicity anymore.

But Liu Mang also asked the same question: "So how do we handle the publicity and distribution?"

Fang smiled slightly, indicating that he was confident of success.

"We'll use scarcity marketing."

Then he used the same trick he used to fool the young lady and repeated it again.

"Wow! I never knew there was such a way to promote ourselves!" Yoshikage Kira exclaimed in amazement.

A shrewd glint flashed in Liu Mang's small eyes behind his glasses: "I think this kind of publicity is not bad, after all, we don't have that much publicity budget."

"By the way, Lao Fang." He handed Fang a cigarette, and then the two of them, ignoring Kira Yoshikage's advice, lit them up one after another. "What about the distribution?"

"What kind of release?" Fang Bie said, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

Liu Mang flicked his cigarette ash: "Movie distribution, huh?"

Fang Bie suddenly realized, then laughed and said, "You're already thinking about selling the film before it's even been approved?"

"We need to think about this in advance, since we don't have any sponsors or publishers."

Most movies have distributors or distribution companies.

The distributor is responsible for promoting the film, such as buying trending topics, holding press conferences, and finding people to distribute the film.

If Fang Bie hasn't found a distributor, then he'll have to figure out a solution himself.

"What suggestions do you have?" Fang asked first.

"Actually, I've already approached some theater chains," Liu Mang sighed, "but they all refused."

Fang Bie became interested: "Which ones are there?"

Which companies are so awesome!

Nice guy!

"Zhongyi, Huaying, Qianying." Liu Mang sighed. "Old Fang, could you try to sound out Miss Su and see if we can screen it at Suying?"

Zhongyi, Huaying, and Qianying are all considered second-tier chain cinemas in China.

But Speedy is different; Speedy boasts the number one cinema chain and screens in China.

This is also part of Miss Su's family's property.

Fang Bie gave a wry smile: "That's impossible. That young lady ran away from home because she had a falling out with her family. Even putting aside whether her family would support her, given her personality, would she go back to ask her father for help?"

"Who told you that?"

Su Mulin's clear and crisp voice rang out.

The three turned around and saw the young lady standing expressionlessly at the shop entrance, followed by three middle-aged men.

Liu Mang was shocked. He leaned close to Fang Bie's ear and whispered, "These three are the managers of the three chain cinemas I mentioned."

Fang Bie was taken aback for a moment, then stood up with a smile and took the leather backpack from Su Mulin's hand: "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

He didn't even look at the three people.

That's right, the astute Fang Bie had already guessed why those three had come with Su Mulin.

It's very simple, they want to cooperate.

The young lady said she was going to start using her connections, so if she just went straight to those few leg hairs on Old Man Su's legs and asked them to show the movie in their theaters, could they say no?

At worst, the movie will flop and we'll just lose some money.

Anyway, Old Man Su will definitely compensate them.

Will Fang Bie be able to give them what they want?

Absolutely not!

Su Mulin waved his hand: "For dinner, we'll have millet porridge, stir-fried loofah with eggs, and tofu with scallions."

She glanced at the three people behind her and said, "They approached me saying they want the broadcasting rights to our movie. You talk to them; I'm going back to cook."

After saying that, the young lady turned around and went back to the company.

The three middle-aged men were all shocked.

This is the heiress of the Su Group! She actually cooks for men?!

The three of them couldn't help but feel nervous.

They initially thought it was just the young lady playing around, but now it seems... they might be facing the future son-in-law of the Su Group. As someone who clings to Old Master Su's coattails, they certainly know what to do.

"Aunt... cough, Mr. Fang." The beer-bellied, balding man who was leading the group extended his hand. "I am Xu Sheng, the manager of Zhongyi. I'm here to discuss whether there's an opportunity for cooperation between us."

Fang glanced at him sideways and smiled, "So it's Manager Xu from Zhongyi. You're so busy, what brings you here?"

He once again transformed into an Onmyoji, intending to drive the other party away with his sarcastic and unsettling remarks.

But as a manager of a large company, it's clear that the thickness of his skin is proportional to his position.

Manager Xu casually withdrew his hand, a smile on his face: "What are you saying? I have long admired Mr. Fang, and meeting him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."

Fang pulled Liu Mang aside and said, "But when my supervisor went to talk to you, it seems you kicked him out?"

Manager Xu still had a smiling expression: "It's all my fault, all my fault. The person who served Mr. Liu before was just a temporary worker, and I've already fired him. I apologize for any offense I may have caused Mr. Liu, and I hope he can forgive me."

Fang Bie smirked. This way of using temporary workers is the same in every world, isn't it?

How do I refuse someone who's smiling at me...?

Liu Mang took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and then said, "It's all a misunderstanding, it's nothing."

He knew, of course, that Fang Bie was doing this on purpose to vent his anger.

But he can't let his personal concerns about noodles ruin important matters; otherwise, he'll never forgive himself.

Fang Bie's eye twitched. This guy... which side is he on?

With a sigh, Fang Bie decided to play the villain himself for the sake of the house: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, it's just that you probably can't meet my requirements."
