"30 million? Aren't you being a little too greedy?" Andrew said that with displeasure on his face. Ash looked young and he thought he should help him at the start of his career as an angel investor. But the amount Ash asked was impossible.
"Greedy? No, not at all. I will be making a historical movie so this much is required."
This amount is too big to be invested in someone as inexperienced as you.
"Too big? In fact, It is too small. I will be investing double the amount I asked for, then it will come close to the actual budget of my movie.
Andrew couldn't believe Ash's words just now. He came to the conclusion that Ash might be a second-generation rich kid. He thought, that having a connection with Ash would be good but investing $30 million for that connection would not be practical. So Andrew hesitated.
seeing Andrew's hesitation Ash said, "How about this, the budget of my last movie was $16 million and it will be in the theaters soon. If that movie makes over $100 million then invest in my movie." Ash continued, "Think about it if I will be able to make $100 million from just $16 million then I will definitely won't let you lose your $30 million.
Andrew looked at Ash who was beaming with confidence. and said, "Okay, here is my card. Contact me when your movie makes $100 million. Not even a single cent less a full $100 million."
Ash look the card and said, "Yes, I will do that." After that Ash and Andrew shook hands and confirmed the deal
The next day Ash received a call from Joy.
-Hello, Ash. I wanted to inform you that we have finished shooting the MV(music video) and are ready to release it.
"Did you add the scenes I provided!"
-We were currently doing that. We will finish the editing by the evening."
Ash had given them some scenes of his movie to be added to the MV. He said,
"Then we will release it tomorrow. One day before the movie."
-Yes, Let's do it.
When Ash was talking to Joy he thought Joy wanted to say something to him so asked Joy, ''is something the matter?"
-No, Nothing.
"You know, you can say it to me if you want to"
-Actually, my company is pressuring me to sell this song to them and I don't know how to say no to them.
When Ash heard that he slapped his head with his hand and said, " Joy, Are you dumb.
-Excuse me?
"Did you read the contract for the song before signing it?"
- I, I...
"you didn't read it! Are you serious?"
-I didn't because I was too excited about that song.
When Ash heard that he felt embarrassment in her voice.
"There is a clause in that contract that you can't sell this song without my permission. I added that condition because I wanted to use it in my movie? So if your company asks for the song just send them to me. I will give them a proper 'no' on behalf of you."
-Thank you.
After that, she cut the call. Ash wanted to say something but he only heard a beep sound. It looked like she was very impatient.
So Ash massaged her to send a small clip of around 30 seconds. He especially told her that the clip should be like a teaser which mostly shows parts of the movie and shows just a simple glimpse of her back while not actually revealing who she was.
In the evening, he received the clip. Then he sent it to Serena and told her to upload it on the company's MeTube Channel.
Ash wanted to increase the anticipation for the song. And it worked like charm. As soon as he uploaded the teaser it went viral on the internet and people were flooding the comment section.
-Is this really, what I think is?
-They released such a short song? Please release the full song.
-They said, they will release it tomorrow.
-Hey, Is the girl at the end singer, can anyone guess who she is.
-No, I can't. I think she is a new singer.
-That may be true. She looks nothing like those big names from a music industry
-I think she looks like Joy a little.
-Nah, It can't be Joy, this song is not her style.
In the end, one user commented,
- It looks like the song creator heard me and they are finally releasing the song.
And Ash replied to him with his id.
-I told you we will release it soon
-You are back. Who do you think you are. Stop pretending to be others.
Ash didn't reply to him and went to sleep.
The next day the song was released and the results were as expected, no, even better than expected.
The song immediately went viral, and by the evening it already had over 20 million views.
comments kept on flooding as well:
-This song really is a banger.
-I was initially very worried that the full version might not be as good as in the trailer but I was worried for nothing.
-I have been listening to it since morning.
-My neighbor used to call the police whenever I played songs on my loudspeaker but today he is dancing with me on this song.
-The singer really is Joy. I knew it.
A certain user wrote.
-They really heard me It is finally here. Now I want a second song from them.
Ash replied.
-Thank you for appreciating my song. As for the second song I will write it when I have free time.
That user replied with angry emojis.
