Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

I got home and had lunch.

Xiang Hanbing took out her phone and sent a message to Huang Min.

"I miss you"

As a smart woman, Xiang Hanbing knew what it meant to know when to stop, and she wasn't lying. She didn't have feelings for Huang Min, but she did have physical feelings for him.

"In a few days"

To Xiang Hanbing's surprise, Huang Min replied to her text message very quickly.

"I'm waiting for you"

Xiang Hanbing immediately replied.

Then, after thinking for a moment, she added another clause: "You can come to my house at any time to conduct a surprise inspection, including my cell phone."

"You are very smart."

Huang Min replied: "I have extra rewards for smart women. You'll get your reward in three months at most. I have to go now, I need to get back to work."

"it is good"

He replied to Hanbing.

After ending her chat with Huang Min, she didn't put down her phone immediately. Instead, she stared at the number "three months" and a smile appeared on her lips. She knew this would happen. If you want a man to like you, you have to be obedient and compliant. Unlike that stupid woman Wang Jiajia, who was still thinking about this and that when she was with Huang Min, she was different.

Now that you've made the choice, stick with it wholeheartedly.

When it came time to leave, Huang Min was very direct; all she had to do was tell him. Xiang Hanbing quite liked Huang Min's habit, but whether that was really the case remained to be seen until the breakup.

Surely he wouldn't call her out to keep him company after breaking up? Probably not. A man like him is practically heartless; it's unlikely he'd cling to her unless Huang Min develops feelings for her. But would he develop feelings for himself?

Xiang Hanbing harbors serious doubts.

After thinking for a moment, Xiang Hanbing took out her phone and sent a message to Wang Jiajia. Upon learning that she was busy with promotional activities, Xiang Hanbing put down her phone with some envy. The profits from the release of "Extreme Job" during the Spring Festival have been reaping huge benefits for Wang Jiajia, and she is still reaping them. Xiang Hanbing estimated that Wang Jiajia has earned at least 10 to 20 million yuan from this wave of profits.

This is the hidden benefit that a blockbuster movie brings to the actors.

She's not doing well; endorsements are hard to come by, and TV drama projects are few and far between. Her cousin is considered capable if he gets three medium-sized projects a year; normally it's only two. This year, he only got one, but he did get another one. However, after signing the contract for that one, the investors withdrew their investment, and there's been no news since. It's probably fallen through.

Therefore, she didn't have much work this year.

However, she's not alone. Her situation is relatively good, unlike other actors who have been unemployed at home for a long time. For example, another male actor in her neighborhood was quite popular a few years ago, but because one of his dramas didn't meet the ratings target, he couldn't get any roles after that. The last time I saw him walking his dog on the lawn behind the neighborhood, Xiang Hanbing drove by and chatted with him for a few minutes. In half a year, he couldn't even get a single commercial performance. He was in a terrible situation.

That's how it is in the entertainment industry.

When things get busier, there's so much work that it feels like there's never enough time. But when things cool down, it's like going from the hottest summer to the coldest winter – a sudden, bone-chilling cold.

:

If she weren't so poor, she would have started her own side business long ago, just like other celebrities. There are just too many unstable factors in the entertainment industry.

Without a stable side hustle, it's hard to feel secure.

When the market abandons someone, it doesn't even give a warning. So Xiang Hanbing has already decided that while she and Huang Min are really popular, she will work hard for a while. Once she has earned enough money, she will also find a way to develop another career path. Putting all her eggs in one basket is too easy to end up losing everything.

In the general manager's office of Dongsheng Film Industry.

Dressed in a black business suit, Su Qing pushed the box office chart of "A Love Letter to Grandma" in front of Huang Yun sitting opposite her and said, "Judging from the box office, the biggest contributor is Chaocheng. This movie resonates with the emotions of the locals."

"Could it reach two billion?"

Huang Yun asked.

"I'm afraid it's not just that."

Su Qing replied, "The company is already in contact with distribution companies in neighboring countries. If people in Chaozhou like it, it proves that people in the surrounding cities have no reason not to like it. Finding a suitable distribution company shouldn't be difficult, but the box office contribution from those countries won't be much. However, even a small amount is still something."

"What about in Hancheng? Doesn't N Company always really like the movies my older brother makes!?"

Huang Yun asked again.

"Company N sent people to watch the movie but chose to drop it because it had too strong regional cultural attributes."

As she spoke, a look of regret appeared on Su Qing's cool face. She had thought that "A Love Letter to Grandma" could create a movie-going craze in Hancheng like "Extreme Job," but the representative sent by N Company rejected it after watching it.

Right.

At that time, very few people went to Hancheng from the place where the overseas Chinese remittances were located, and the audience was mainly from other countries. This made "Love Letters to Grandma" have a strong emotional barrier in Hancheng.

The locals of Hancheng simply cannot comprehend the decades-long bond forged through letters, especially in such a small place where a complete loop can be traversed by car in just two or three days.

It's really unlikely that people in such a small place can understand "nostalgia".

So after being rejected by N, Su Qing did not insist, because even if it were released, it would only be a niche drama in Hancheng, so it would be better not to release it at all.

"Hancheng is just too small to contain such profound emotions."

Huang Yun commented.

That's what I think too.

Su Qing smiled and replied, then looked at Huang Yun, who was looking at the box office chart, and asked, "Did you know your ex-sister-in-law is back?"

"Know"

Huang Yun didn't even look up and said, "My brother said, if she's out, she's out. Anyway, she has nothing to do with our family now."

"Not necessarily..."

:

Before Su Qing could finish speaking, the landline on her desk rang. She picked up the receiver and listened to the receptionist's words. Then, Su Qing looked at Huang Yun and smiled, "I just mentioned her, and she's already here. She even brought your nephew with her. What do you have to say?"

If Huang Yun weren't here, she would definitely have had the security guards kick the person out.

But since Huang Yun was at the company today, Su Qing naturally left it to her to handle. After all, even if Huang Yun said that Lin Wan had nothing to do with her family, in the eyes of outsiders, it was still their family matter.

It's simply a matter of seeing or not seeing.

"Neuropathy"

While Su Qing was holding the microphone and waiting, she heard Huang Yun suddenly curse. Under Su Qing's gaze, Huang Yun took the microphone and said to the receptionist, "Bring Xiao Bai in. As for Lin Wan, have security keep an eye on her. If she dares to barge in, just throw her out. Don't be polite, just throw her out, not kick her out."

"Should we call your brother and ask for his opinion?"

Su Qing offered a kind reminder.
