This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends

Chapter 485: New Movie Invitation



It's obvious that the foreign players are not crazy about their older brothers.

At least Shu Mei doesn't feel that way.

But the over 7 million game pre-sales are solid numbers.

If it's not supported by fans, then... is it possible that her boss's talent in gaming is even stronger than she imagined? Just like those fans said, being a celebrity is a detriment to her older brother!?

Shu Mei clenched her fist, "If you want to switch careers, brother, I'm ready to help run a game company if you start one!"

Wu Mu gave her a look, "Who said I was going to switch and start a game company?"

Why make things harder when you can enjoy the benefits comfortably?

Shu Mei counted on her fingers, "But brother, you make so much money from games; 7.6 million copies at 48 each totals 360 million!"

A casual post on Weibo almost made 400 million!

That's really lucrative!

Wu Mu flicked her forehead, "Didn't I tell you, you still need to produce the game after the Weibo post, 4 billion in half a year, 8 billion in a year? That's less than what I made in half a year last year?"

Shu Mei was paused for a moment.

Uh, seems like it?

Her older brother's money-making ability as a celebrity is also outrageous.

He made more than 1.3 billion last year, and this year is even stronger.

It's just the beginning of the year, but she estimates he's already made about 500-600 million?

Shu Mei suddenly looked forward to this year's Global Celebrity 300 or other celebrity income rankings being released sooner, sure to shock everyone else.

After some idle chatter, Shu Mei brought the topic back to business, "Brother, the Netflix variety show aired, and many projects contacted us, wanting you to star."

It's basically inevitable, given the Netflix variety show's heat and your Weibo activity, anyone in the circle who watched must be wide-eyed.

The variety show is understandable; it has always been Wu Mu's strong suit.

But in films, his displayed "box office pulling" capability through acting and a collaborative event.

Shoot an art film and make over a billion in box office, post a collaborative event and increase it by five or six hundred million, if it's a commercial film, if it's full promotion.

Wouldn't that be amazing!

A large stack of scripts was handed over.

"The largest productions are Xu Fu and Chen Weifeng's films, both have promotional investments over 500 million, they all want to invite you as the lead, especially Xu Fu's side, they said roles had already been decided, but if you participate, they could directly change them, very sincere."

These are both top directors in the country now, Xu Fu and Lin Xueming, Tang Wei, that kind, of the fifth and sixth generation, well-established old directors.

Chen Weifeng is a bit younger, and ascended as a director with several blockbuster commercial films in the last decade.

Wu Mu took the Xu Fu's movie script handed over by Shu Mei with curiosity.

And after a look, he couldn't help but shake his head.

A costume fantasy film, telling the story of a swordsman coming down the mountain to save the world, then it has sword-wielding flying around making money, and the poor monsters working hard every day too.

The old directors of today really can't keep up with the times.

All trying to create comedy, trying to add youth-engaging elements to get close to young people, but the result just makes people scratch their heads in awkwardness.

Over 500 million in investment for this kind of stuff?

Better off making a straightforward old-fashioned story to show the effects and fights.

Wu Mu directly closed the book and put it aside, with no interest to read further.

Hmm, the original male lead set for this movie was Zhou Yu, if he wanted, he could have already replaced Zhou Yu.

But... let Zhou Yu perform, even if this kind of movie goes to screen in the end, the box office might not be low due to promotion and marketing, but the reputation for sure would be criticized.

After closing Xu Fu's script, Wu Mu didn't pick up Chen Weifeng's script either, "Just pass on all of Chen Weifeng's scripts in the future."

Shu Mei was a bit stunned, looking at him with some confusion.

Wu Mu said, "I remember he's quite close to Lin Xueming's side, right? Several movies have Lin Xueming's group of people investing, this one possibly too, from now on, pass on everything Lin Xueming invests in."

Shu Mei was even more stunned, just because of this reason...

If it were someone else, she would definitely advise against rejecting a project just for such reasons; it should be decided by the quality of the script.

But her own brother... Shu Mei indicated her understanding, she would definitely be vigilant about Director Lin's connections in the future!

Indeed, it's also not the first time her brother has turned around and blocked companies within the circle.

Wu Mu was even less bothered, why bother respecting Lin Xueming when they've broken up, no interest in earning for someone he dislikes.

The largest production scripts were rejected.

Shu Mei then took out other smaller productions, including one rather special one.

Shu Mei said with excitement and pride, "Brother, take a look at this script!"

Wu Mu accepted it with curiosity, and upon seeing the script cover, looked up at Shu Mei with slight surprise.

Shu Mei giggled, "This script is from Japanese director Tsuchida Yuuta."

Yes, the characters on the script cover were written in both Chinese and Japanese.

This is a film invitation from Japan.

Her brother really has made it!

Invitations for foreign variety shows were expected, but film invitations came too!

Moreover, this is a legitimate lead role invitation!

Shu Mei detailed the introduction, "Tsuchida Yuuta is a high-profile director in Japan, having made countless Japanese national TV dramas, he holds a high status, and this is his work attempting a shift to film."

A national TV drama director is attempting to make a film, and one can imagine the importance and attention given to this work.

And rather than seeking top actors in Japan, he came looking for Wu Mu, a Hua Country person...

The recognition and importance her brother received made Shu Mei's heart swell with pride.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Wu Mu's Japanese proficiency displayed in the Netflix variety show, and the subject matter of the film.

Wu Mu opened the script to review it in detail.

The film script is titled "Bouquet-like Love".

Judging by the title, it's a romance movie.

The male lead is set as a beautiful boy with a pure and youthful vibe, with a hint of a chuunibyou idealistic flair...

It's Wu Mu's perfect pitch zone!

With such a setting, it's no surprise they came to Wu Mu.

Only...

After reading through the whole plot, Wu Mu somewhat speechlessly remarked, "Why is it another film where the couple breaks up?"

Yeah, this movie narrates the male and female leads getting to know each other little by little, growing close bit by bit, and then slowly drifting apart, becoming strangers because of reality.

So, there's no good ending for his romance?

Regarding this, Shu Mei scratched her head, "Maybe you're too handsome, brother. If it's a happy ending, it would seem too predictable?"

The more beautiful something is, the more unforgettable it becomes when it shatters, especially for someone like her brother who naturally carries an air of unique brokenness... It leaves a lasting impression for decades!

Seeing Wu Mu bend over again to consider the script, Shu Mei strongly suggested, "Brother, I think we should take this script. This film will be very beneficial for boosting our popularity in Japan, as Tsuchida Yuuta is highly regarded among Japanese audiences, releasing it would immediately attract many Japanese viewers."

"If the film can even win authoritative Japanese film awards, the benefits would be even greater."

"Coincidentally, there's an invitation from a popular Korean variety show as well, accepting these two can continue driving up our fame in Japan and South Korea."

Not recognized by domestic authorities?

Always unable to break through other age groups among domestic audiences?

Then just elevate our fame to the level of major stars or even superstars in Japan and Korea!

By that time, come back with the spotlight from being a superstar in Japan and South Korea to overshadow domestic celebrities!
