Chapter 8 The Shape of Love
"Brother Xiaole, would you like to go get some midnight snack together?"

Huang Shengyi's voice was heard outside the door. He knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. He muttered something and left.

In the bathroom of the room.

Yan Ni thought of her previous bleak and predictable life. It was as if her hands were held behind her back and pressed against the bathroom glass, and she felt suffocated.

It was not until forty minutes later that a scream was heard and fresh air was finally breathed.

···
The next morning, in the hotel restaurant.

Tian Xiaole kept yawning, took a glass of milk and a drawer of dumplings, and the crew members had almost finished eating.

"Director Tian..."

"Director Xiaole..."

"Senior Brother Xiaole..."

Xu Zheng, Yan Ni, Huang Bo, Huang Shengyi, and Luo Jin were greeting each other, each using a different name, and Tian Xiaole was too lazy to correct them.

"Brother Xiaole, you went to bed so early last night that you didn't even respond when I asked you to have a midnight snack."

As soon as Tian Xiaole sat down, Huang Shengyi came over and complained that Yan Ni made her feel a sense of urgency, which was why she was so attentive.

"I've been working non-stop for a few days, so I rested a little early."

Tian Xiaole gave a perfunctory explanation, picked up the milk and took a big gulp, wanting to replenish himself.

"Director Xiaole, judging from your expression, it seems like you didn't rest well!"

Yan Ni picked up the steamed dumpling and took a big bite. The soup flowed out from the corners of her mouth, and she joked nonchalantly.

Tian Xiaole almost choked on the milk he had just drunk. He glared at her and said unhappily:

"Sister Ni, I hear your throat isn't feeling well. Please speak less during the roadshow."

Hearing this, Yan Ni blushed, wiped the corner of her mouth, and glared back unwillingly.

Huang Shengyi, who was standing next to them, was completely bewildered. He watched the two of them playing charades, unable to join in the conversation, and was getting extremely anxious.

Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were chatting about the upcoming roadshow, while Luo Jin was eating his breakfast, oblivious to what was happening outside.

While chatting and laughing, Tian Xiaole finished his meal. He took out his cell phone to check the time and found that he had turned it off last night. As soon as he turned it on, he received a lot of missed calls and text messages.

In the blink of an eye, another call came in: "Hello, Teacher Tian."

Tian Zhuangzhuang on the other end of the phone didn't care about the name, and said in a tone of suppressed excitement:
"What's wrong with you? I can't get through to you all night!"

"I turned it off because it disturbed my rest. Is that why you called to ask about it?"

"cough."

There was a sound of clearing phlegm on the other end of the phone, as if organizing his words, and then he continued:
"You're a good kid, the box office performance is very good..."

After hearing a few compliments and dozens of reminders to stay calm and not get carried away, the call ended only when Tian Xiaole said he was ready to go on a roadshow.

"Brother Xiaole, what is your relationship with Professor Tian? He cares about you so much!"

Huang Shengyi asked curiously from the side, and everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to know the truth.

"I am a distant relative of Professor Tian."

Tian Xiaole smiled and said perfunctorily, drank the milk in the cup in one gulp, glanced at the time, and said to everyone:

"Get ready for the upcoming roadshow. I believe everyone is more motivated now."

Several people burst into laughter. They never dared to imagine that the movie could achieve the current success.

Now they are even more motivated and hope that this small team with nothing can achieve success in the film market.

···
On the other hand, Han Sanping did not expect that the movie he invested in out of favor would have such good box office results.

The achievement of 430 million in three days was achieved despite the shortage of copies. The company immediately decided to add 100 million in announced funds, add 100 copies of the film, and send them to major theaters across the country overnight.

Calls came pouring in from my roommate, Park Joong-hwa, my photography teacher, other teachers, and even the college leadership. This drama was essentially filmed entirely by students from the Beijing Film Academy, and for the teachers and leadership, it was a testament to their teaching achievements, something they could include in their work reports.

Tian Xiaole was busy answering the phone while going on roadshows. He lost a lot of weight over the past few days. He ran around during the day and was busy dealing with thirty-year-old young women at night.

[Supermarket] also achieved encouraging results in its first week, with the box office reaching 12 million. In the second week, with the increase in copies, the daily box office stabilized at just over 1.5 million.

But there are already pirated resources on the Internet. This is the tragedy of low-budget movies, and it is inevitable. If you want to trace the source, there is nowhere to start. This is a characteristic of the times.

After a day of roadshows, everyone's eyes were full of excitement and they were still chatting on the way back to the hotel.

"Brother Zheng, someone asked me for an autograph today. Before, they always asked you."

Luo Jin was excited, and he had his first taste of fame.

"Our roadshow ends here. Everyone can go home tomorrow."

Tian Xiaole looked at everyone and said, what should be done has been done, and the rest is left to the market.

"Director Tian, ​​if there's a role that suits me, feel free to call me. You know my acting skills."

Xu Zheng came over and said that "Supermarket" can be said to be another representative work of his, which has freed him from the label of being able to only act in comedies. Although "Supermarket" is also a comedy, it better reflects his acting skills.

"If there's a suitable role, we can work together again later."

Tian Xiaole also recognized Xu Zheng's acting skills and nodded immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Bo and Hou Minghao also expressed their desire to work together again. Tian Xiaole nodded and dealt with the two before returning to the room.

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Yan Ni had been obsessed with art analysis recently and came over every night to discuss it to satisfy her inner need for exploration.

Try various postures to understand the true meaning of Monet, and Beethoven's piano music is still so high and powerful.

After a thorough and easy-to-understand analysis, I felt exhausted. Art is so attractive and keeps people engaged.

"Brother Xiaole, your understanding of art makes me feel so insignificant."

Yan Ni's eyes were a little blurry. Her pursuit of art had reached an unprecedented height, and she regained her lifeless tone.

Tian Xiaole was also very happy, and said with reminiscence:
“Only by maintaining communication can you appreciate the beauty of it.”

···
The next morning, several members of the crew said goodbye to each other, leaving only the four-member group from Beijing Film Academy.

"How are you going to get back?"

Hearing Tian Xiaole's question, Huang Bo immediately said, "I've already bought the ticket. I'll be leaving right away."

"I'm going with Brother Bo." Luo Jin was not stupid and quickly agreed.

"What about you, still following me?"

Tian Xiaole looked at Huang Shengyi. He hadn't had time to take care of her these days, and she was a little upset.

"Can't you?"

Huang Shengyi said angrily that Yan Ni's presence these days made her feel a great sense of crisis, and her senior brother had not paid any attention to her for several days.

"whatever."

Tian Xiaole was going back to his room to catch up on some sleep, as he really didn't sleep at all last night.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"go to bed!"

Huang Shengyi was stunned for a moment, hesitated for only a split second, and then followed him happily.

"Brother, open the door!"

After returning to the room, Tian Xiaole fell asleep. He heard someone calling him in a daze, but soon fell asleep again.

Huang Shengyi called outside the door for a long time but no one answered him. He suspected that he had heard it wrong, blushed, and ran back to his room.
