Chapter Thirty-Four: Can One Defy Heaven?

  Inside the dilapidated neighborhood.

  "Look, this is the best one of my five movie theaters!" The old black man said, pointing to the dilapidated cinema in front of him.

  "She's my sweetest baby! Yes, God, she used to be so perfect, plump breasts, fat buttocks, fiery red lips, eyes full of spring, charming and seductive... It seems that the old black dad has been greatly harmed by the pornographic film of Rabbit Bill, and he can't help but utter a string of restricted words."

  "But like many beauties, time is a butcher's knife. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot withstand the erosion and oppression of time. Her beauty fades, her looks disappear, her figure withers like a yellow flower, her face lengthens like a cucumber..."

  Yi Feiyang couldn't help but admire him again, this black old man still has the awareness of being a poet. It seems that every unremarkable old stick has the potential to be a literary master.

  It has to be said that time is a knife for killing pigs and also a carving knife, which can carve an old tree trunk into a work of art.

  "Just as you see now, it's so old and decadent, even I, an old lover, feel heartbroken... Dear Yi, think carefully, don't regret it, if your movie is really excellent, it's better not to show it in my shabby little cinema, it will hinder your future..."

  The sincerity of the old black man gave Yifei Yang a very good impression. At least this old man was not like those hypocritical and cunning filmmakers who claimed to be for art, but secretly indulged in debauchery and would sell out their own mothers for a small profit.

  "It looks pretty good to me. Besides, my film isn't some big production, just a DV-shot documentary."

  "Documentary? Dammit, who's gonna watch this kind of film?"

  "Hehe, you can rest assured then, although it's a documentary, it has a lot of storytelling."

  "That makes me feel better, at least you can get back some of the box office." The old black man has a good heart, look, he's so concerned about Yi Feiyang's movie.

  "Alright, let's talk about how we can cooperate." Yi Feiyang got down to business.

  "It's simple, why don't you just buy out the whole venue?"

  "What did you say?"

  "I'll rent you five movie theaters for a month, and all the box office will be yours. You just need to give me some rent." The old black man said generously.

  "This proposal is good, nothing entangled in between, yeah, I completely agree!"

  "What about the price?"

  "Say a number."

  "Twenty thousand dollars, how about it?"

  "Too much." Yi Fei Yang shook his head.

  "Not much, it comes out to be around $4,000 per family."

  "It's still too many, this place is too remote, isn't it?"

  "Alright then, I'll give you a little less." The old black man seemed easy-going. "How about 18,000?"

  Yi Feiyang shook his head. "Ten thousand is enough, we're all so familiar with each other now, you can say we're friends!"

  "Alright, you take a step back and I'll also give in. Fifteen thousand, is that okay?" The black old man looked at Yi Feiyang.

  Yi Feiyang thought for a moment and nodded, "One fifty-five is one fifty-five!"

  "Good, great!" The old black man praised.

  Yi Feiyang was also happy, originally planning to spend 16,000, saving 1,000.

  "Alright then, let's have a pleasant cooperation!" As he spoke, Yi Fei Yang smiled and walked over to sit in a chair.

  With a loud creak, the chair collapsed directly.

  Yi Feiyang almost fell to the ground with a thud.

  Kneeling on the ground with a foolish appearance, for someone as skilled as him, it's humiliating!

  But what's even more humiliating is, have I gained weight recently?

  But soon, the old black man explained the situation, "Sorry, dear Yi, the chairs here are like this, it's uncertain which one will collapse, they're all too old, some of the wood has rotted... by the way, does what you said earlier still count?"

  Yi Feiyang: "!!!!!!"

  So, shouldn't we decorate? But how much money will it take to decorate like this?

  Suddenly, Yi Feiyang felt that he had underestimated this old black man.

  ……

  Five very crappy cinemas, located in a very crappy out-of-the-way area, with internal arrangements that are also very crappy!

  It can be said that these five cinemas are useless, to use Rabbit Bill's words, such a cinema, renting for 13,000 yuan a month, is simply an international joke!

  Yi Feiyang hated it after Zhuge Liang, where did you go before, you bastard? When negotiating the price, why was your mouth so tight? Bill's explanation is that it was to show respect for you and respect for your decision.

  Yi Feiyang kicked someone's butt!

  Along with someone's mournful wail, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but admit that he, who was usually good at swindling others, seemed to have been swindled this time.

  Anyway, with the movie in hand having a theater to show it in, as an excellent "second-hand dealer" of movies, Yi Feiyang boldly took out his only $5,000 and started doing some simple decoration and renovation inside the five theaters, at least not letting the audience sit on the ground.

  Before long, another ten or so days passed. According to the previous agreement with Tang Ren Jie, more than two months later, he had to repay him $400,000, but now Yi Fei Yang was paying out of his own pocket and hadn't earned a single cent yet.

  The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuchs are worried to death.

  Yi Feiyang is taking his time, planning the release of "The Blair Witch", while his good friend and partner, Gao Jiabao, is frantically running around beside him.

  With Yi Fei Yang being so reckless, Pangzi can no longer be "generous and fat". These past few days, he hasn't slept well at all. Every midnight, he would wake up automatically, then get woken up by nightmares.

  The nightmare is uniform, all are the camel's father sending someone to collect debts, chasing and chasing him into a "Grand Palace Manager", thus becoming the last eunuch in history.

  Fat boy is in trouble, who did he provoke?

  He was living a good life, had already obtained his green card, and was just waiting to earn more money to send back home, with the rest being spent on indulging in the decadent American lifestyle; but then that idiot friend of his pulled off such a move, directly sending him from his fantasy paradise to the eighteenth level of hell.

  Fat boy is cautious, as for Yifei Yang's plan whether it can succeed or not, he doesn't know, he only knows that he must make preparations in advance, when the time comes and there's no money, he'll run away to Africa with Yifei Yang.

  For the fat guy who was worried and had lost weight, Yi Feiyang could only pat his head to comfort him, saying "There will be bread, there will be beer, and there will be box office!"

  Fatso sneered, "Just your five broken-down movie theaters? If they can earn you back 400,000, I'll help you wash underwear until next year!"

  Yes, five movie theaters, can they defy the heavens in the future?!

  This time even Lian Yi Yang had some doubts.
