This generation of black fans is too good at buying, the top streamers are going crazy

Chapter 484 New Movie Invitation

It's obvious that those overseas players don't necessarily adore their brother.

At least Shu Mei doesn't seem to think so.

But those seven million game pre-orders are real.

If it's not fan support, then does it mean her boss is even more talented in gaming than she imagined? Is it really true, as those fans say, that being a celebrity is ruining her brother's career?
Shu Mei clenched her fist, "If you want to switch careers and start a game company, I can also do game operations!"

Wu Mu gave her a look, "Who wants to switch careers and start a game company?"

Why not just relax and enjoy the game without feeling uncomfortable, instead of making things harder for yourself?

Shu Mei counted on her fingers, "But brother, you're making way too much money from games! 7.6 million copies, at 48 yuan each, that's 360 million!"

Just by making a promise on Weibo, they've already raised nearly 400 million!

That's incredibly profitable!

Wu Mu flicked her head, "After I post on Weibo, don't I still have to make the game? It'll make 400 million in six months, and 800 million in a year? That's less than what I made in six months last year?"

Shumei paused for a moment.

Hmm, I think so too?

Her brother's earning power as a celebrity is also outrageous.

Last year, they earned more than 1.3 billion in just over half a year, and this year the momentum is even stronger.

It's only the beginning of the year, and according to her rough estimate, she already has five or six hundred million.

Shu Mei suddenly felt a bit hopeful that this year's list of the 300 most valuable people in the world, or other celebrity income rankings, would be released soon, as it would surely scare everyone else to death.

After a brief chat, Shu Mei steered the conversation back to business, "Brother, with Netflix's variety show airing, we've received many offers for projects, and we'd like to invite you to participate."

This was practically inevitable; given the popularity of his Netflix shows and Weibo activities, who in the industry wouldn't be shocked?

Variety shows are understandable; they've always been Wu Mu's strength.

However, in the film industry, he demonstrated his box office-carrying ability through his acting skills and a joint event.

An art film can gross over a billion yuan, and a joint promotional event can boost box office revenue by 500-600 million yuan. If this were a commercial film, and if it were promoted throughout the entire process...

That would be terrible!
A large number of notebooks were handed over.

"The biggest productions were the films starring Xu Fu and Chen Weifeng, with promotional investments exceeding 500 million yuan. They all wanted to invite Leslie Cheung to star in them, especially Xu Fu, who said that they had already cast their actors, but if Leslie Cheung were to take the role, they would replace him. They were very sincere."

Both of them are top-tier directors in China right now, like Xu Fu, Lin Xueming, and Tang Wei, who belong to the fifth and sixth generation of directors in China. The older generation of directors have long since achieved great success.

Chen Weifeng is younger and has become a top director in the last decade with several blockbuster commercial films.

Wu Mu took the Xu Fu movie script that Shu Mei handed him with some curiosity and examined it.

Then, upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but shake his head.

It's an ancient fantasy film about a swordsman who descends the mountain to save the world, then he flies on his sword to earn money, and then there are monsters who also have a hard life and work 996 every day.

These veteran directors are really falling behind the times.

Various attempts to create comedy and incorporate elements that resonate with young people in an attempt to connect with them have resulted in utterly cringeworthy outcomes.

An investment of over 5 million was used to make this kind of thing?
They might as well make a proper, old-fashioned story and watch the special effects and fights.

Wu Mu closed the notebook and put it aside, showing no interest in reading it again.

Well, the original male lead for this movie was Zhou Yu, but if he wanted to, he could have just replaced Zhou Yu.

But let Zhou Yu act in it anyway. Even if this kind of movie is released, the box office may not be low because of the publicity and marketing, but it will definitely be criticized to death.

After closing Xu Fu's notebook, Wu Mu didn't take Chen Weifeng's notebook either. "Let's just reject Chen Weifeng's notebooks from now on." Shu Mei was taken aback and looked at him with a slightly blank expression.

Wu Mu said, "I remember he was quite close to Lin Xueming's group, right? Several of his movies had Lin Xueming's group as investors, and this one probably will too. We should just cancel all movies that Lin Xueming invests in in the future."

Shu Mei was even more stunned, all because of this reason.
If it were anyone else, Shu Mei would definitely advise them not to stop taking jobs because of this, and to decide based on the quality of the script.

But her older brother, Shumei, indicated that she understood and would definitely make a big fuss about Kalin's father's background in the future!

Well, this isn't the first time her brother has turned around and blacklisted companies in the industry.

Wu Mu didn't care at all. He was already on a winning streak and had broken up with Director Lin. There was no need for him to care about Lin Xueming, and he had no interest in making money for someone he hated.

The two largest projects I ever made were cancelled.

Shumei then took out other small snacks, including one that was rather special.

Shu Mei said with excitement and pride, "Brother, look at this notebook!"

Wu Mu curiously took it, and when he saw the words on the cover of the notebook, he was slightly taken aback and looked up at Shu Mei.

Shu Mei chuckled, "This script was handed over by Japanese director Hiroyasu Doi."

That's right, the text on the cover of this book is written in both Chinese and Japanese.

This is a film invitation from Japan.

Their brother is really successful!

Not only are they getting invitations to foreign variety shows, but they're even getting movie offers!

And it was a legitimate offer of a role!
Shu Mei explained in detail: "Hiroshi Doi is a big-name director in Japan. He has directed many popular Japanese dramas and has a very high status. He also directed a very successful movie before, but his reputation as a TV drama director is still the main one. This is his attempt to transition into film."

The importance and significance of a work by a national television drama director attempting to transition into film is self-evident.

Instead of seeking out big-name actors in Japan, he came to Wu Mu, a Chinese man, for this opportunity.
Shumei felt a warm glow inside as she watched her brother being recognized and valued.

Of course, this is also closely related to Wu Mu's Japanese proficiency and the subject matter of the films he presented on Netflix.

Wu Mu opened the notebook and examined it in detail.

The movie script is titled "Love Like a Bouquet".

As you can tell from the movie title, it's a romance film.

Then, the male lead was required to be an actor with a pure and vibrant youthful spirit, and a somewhat idealistic and chuunibyou (delusional) temperament.
The best pitching area in the game!

Given this setup, it's not surprising at all that they would seek out Wu Mu.

Just
After reading through the entire story, Wu Mu muttered to himself, somewhat speechless, "Why is it another movie about a couple breaking up?"

Yes, this movie is about the male and female protagonists getting to know each other little by little, becoming closer little by little, and finally breaking up and becoming strangers due to reality.

So, it seems like none of his relationships end well.

Shu Mei was a little puzzled by this, saying, "Maybe it's because my brother is too handsome; a happy ending would seem too natural?"

The more beautiful something is, the more unforgettable it becomes when it's broken. Especially for someone like her brother, who already had a unique sense of heartbreak, it's something he can't forget even decades later!
Seeing Wu Mu looking down at the script again, Shu Mei strongly suggested, "Brother, I think we should take this role. This film will greatly help our popularity in Japan. Doi Yutai has a high profile among Japanese audiences, and we'll be known by many Japanese viewers as soon as it's released."

"If the film can also win a prestigious Japanese film award, that would be an even greater help."

"It just so happens that we also received an invitation from a popular variety show in South Korea. Accepting these two offers will further boost our popularity in Japan and South Korea."

Does it not have official recognition in China?
Why can't the domestic audience break into other age groups?

Then let's directly promote the fame of Japanese and Korean celebrities to their top stars, or even superstars!

They'll then use their status as Japanese and Korean superstars to completely dominate other domestic celebrities!
