Chapter 141 - Start (1/2)

Su Min thought about it all night and finally couldn’t help but fall asleep.

It was snowing the next day and the weather was a bit cold. Mother Su had prepared some pumpkin and pear congee.

Mother Su’s cooking was very good. Su Min downed a whole bowl in one go.

“What did you and Ying Ying do last night for you to come back so late?” Mother Su casually asked.

Su Min’s movements stopped, “We watched a movie, and then we ate hot pot.”

At the mention of movies, Mother Su remembered Su Ying talking about it in the past, “Can you now also participate in movies?”

Su Min answered calmly: “Yes, but they’re horror movies.”

Upon hearing the words horror movie, Mother Su backed off. She had originally wanted to give it a try on her day off to support her son.

Mother Su said: “Then I won’t watch it.”

Su Min for some reason breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad the adults didn’t watch horror movies.

After finishing his food, Su Min returned to his room

There really wasn’t much to do during university breaks. Su Min didn’t like going out so it could be said that he is a hermit.

He went on Weibo to search for movies.

There wasn’t anything special on the news. The only one was a post questioning the cinema’s grading standards. It was created by a new account.

“I worked so hard for so long but why can’t I clear any of them? Why doesn’t the cinema disclose how the movies are graded? I don’t agree with this. I worked so hard, but I never clear them while others can. And there also that guy who would get rereleases for every movie. Does that guy have some kind of backing? @NewCenturyCinema”

Su Min felt that this person was probably referring to him.

Of course, he also felt that it might be too narcissitic of him to think this.

There are also others who would get rereleases for the movies they watched. Most of them would be suspense movies because they could directly watch the movie and catch the killer. If they were a little smarter, they could find the clues and easily clear the movie.

There were also romance movies. There are quite a few rereleases for those since some fans can be very powerful. In order to be with their idols, they would be willing to attempt the movie over and over again.

And this was also the reason why the cinema introduced holographic viewing technology. With the introduction of this, the number of visitors increased exponentially and it became very popular amongst the female audience.

Su Min opened this discussion on Weibo.

“I also want to see how they graded it. I want to see what grade I got though I am not very good at acting.”

“Surely there must be a reason for you failing. With everything revealed in the rereleases, what secrets could there be? Just use it as a basis and try again.”

“Who are you talking about? I want to go and watch his movies.”

“I also want to complain about this. I tried a movie last time but after waiting three days, I was told I didn’t pass. So angry.”

“I just know that some people are very amazing. I’m fine with just watching. I think they’re all pretty good.”

“…………”

The comments under that post were all different. They each stood firm by their opinions.

Su Min didn’t see a reply from New Century Cinema’s end but with this issue being so big, someone higher up would probably reply soon.

He also needed to ask about the movie “Taking My Surname”.

Based on the name, Su Min felt that it was probably a romance movie. Afterall, that phrase was quite popular but he also wasn’t certain. Chen Su after all never does things by the book.

He called the person in charge directly.

The person in charge was probably busy so he only answered after a few rings: “Mr. Su, do you have a movie you want to watch?”

From the movies Su Min had rereleased, they had earned quite a lot of money and this would be the same for Su Min so it could be considered that they’re in a mutual benefit relationship.

Su Min asked: “I have a ticket here. I wanted to ask if there is a movie called “Taking My Surname” about to be released soon?”

The person in charge hesitated.

He sat in his chair as his mind worked quickly. He then hastily replied: “No, but movies that are screened through private screening have nothing to do with us.”

Private screening?

Su Min was reminded by him that there was another possibility.

He had almost forgotten about this service.

Su Min no longer intended on asking any further about the movie. In any case, he was going to watch it anyway. If it was something strange, he would just let Chen Su suffer.

The person in charge asked: “Mr. Su, when do you plan on coming?”

He was a little afraid that Su Min would decide not to come. If that was the case, he would need to think of a way to get him to come over.

Su Min said: “Maybe tomorrow.”

He wanted to rest today. Afterall, his mind would need a break after the holographic viewing experience. Having a break was necessary.

The person in charge said: “Okay, then I’ll make the necessary arrangements for tomorrow.”

Su Min hummed in response.

After hanging up the phone, he took out the ticket and looked at it again. He was again reminded of the movie “Death Show”.

If this wasn’t reality, he may actually suspect it to be related to that movie.

Anyway, he would find out tomorrow. A movie wouldn’t take more than three hours. Indian movies at most would also only be two hours long.

Su Min had already mentally prepared himself.

He had a hunch that he may get the answer he wanted tomorrow.

***

The weather was fine the next day and the snow outside had melted.

Su Min stayed at home all morning and learned to make a dish before changing his clothes and leaving in the afternoon. Taking along his ticket, he boarded a subway and headed over to the cinema.

Compared to a car, he preferred taking the subway.

Probably because he was used to the cinema near school, he went there again. During the winter vacation, there were many children on the subway.

Su Min sat on the side and loosened his scarf.

When he looked up, he saw two girls sitting opposite him staring at him. Seeing him look over, they turned and looked away.
