Chapter 182: The Film Will be Released on New Year’s Day
Huang Ming couldn’t help broadening into a grin when he heard Yan Huan’s voice.
“Yan Huan, I have some good news for you!”
“What is the good news?” Yan Huan continued making dumplings, is it possible that Divorced will be released soon? But it shouldn’t be, there were many blockbusters released and Divorced had to wait until the next year and it wasn’t their day to release the film yet.
It won’t release soon. She could hear his laughter on the phone but didn’t know whether he was laughing or crying.
“Yan Huan, Divorced has been approved by the general office of Broadcasting and Television, and it will be released on New Year’s Day before the Chinese New Year. Though it isn’t released on Chinese New Year, it is still great news for us. I don’t even dare to think about it before then.”
“New Year’s Day?” Yan Huan patted her hand to get the flour off. Was there something wrong? It couldn’t be released on New Year’s Day. Everyone knew the films that released in a holiday would draw well especially the first-run films. There were many of the New Year blockbusters released on Chinese New Year, but usually, they were produced by the famous directors and superstars. It was good enough to release on the weekend as Divorced was made on a shoestring.
But it would be released on New Year’s Day, maybe either she or Huang Ming had misheard, or the general office of Broadcasting and Television got it wrong.
“Yes, it gets to be released on New Year’s Day.” Huang Ming said, “I have checked through it many times, there will be no mistakes. Divorced has a well-knit plot and I hate to lose each part of the scenes. I was afraid that they would cut out some of the scenes but the staff of the office told me that they have approved it and could release on New Year’s Day.”
“How could Divorced be able to be released on New Year’s Day?” Yan Huan couldn’t figure it out. In the previous life, Divorced had released next March. But even so, the film was a box-office success. If this time the film could be released on New Year’s Day, it would be a better box-office record.
“I don’t know, actually.” Huang Ming was worried about this as they could get released during prime time. Was there something wrong? Actually, he couldn’t figure it out as well.
“Oh, yes,” He thought of something suddenly. “I heard from the people over there, there is a big shot who liked our movie very much, and that was the inside story I tried to find out.”
“Am I going to be lucky?” Huang Ming did not whether to laugh or cry—he was in an awkward position, “But as Divorced will soon be on the cinema, then I will refine it again. We couldn’t miss such a golden opportunity.”
Yan Huan set her phone down, she picked up a dumpling wrapper and continued to make dumplings.
A mysterious person. A mysterious person who could influence the general office of Broadcasting and Television. A mysterious person who liked Divorced.
Someone had liked Divorced.
How could it be? Divorced had not broadcast yet and thus, how did they know about the film?
She knew Huang Ming did not have a strong backing or any backstage supporters, he worked steadily and made solid progress to reach the peak in his life just like her.
