Chapter 501: Chapter 361_2

If it’s the film investment itself, putting someone in if it’s suitable is no big deal.

But having to worry about all sorts of things for the people under him is a bit annoying.

Arranging business deals, going on shows, taking on projects, handling online publicity, even fixing things when someone gets offended and targets them...

He himself doesn’t even want to deal with his own matters, so why would he be willing to handle those for others?

Can’t just have people sign in only to lie around like dead fish, right? Would lying around like dead fish become the company’s culture?

Everyone lying around and still making big profits?

After thinking it through, Wu Mu found it bothersome, "Reject it, it’s too much trouble."

Shi Wu nodded without saying a word.

Indeed, the focus should still be on future job opportunities.

Having a boss who’s too laid-back really doesn’t work!

Even money isn’t earned.

After dealing with the small episode with Meng Yuxi, Wu Mu left the company.

He still had things to do today.

Lu Yao’s movie "Farewell" has finally wrapped up shooting, there’s one last scene to film tonight, then the wrap party dinner.

.....

While Wu Mu hurried to the wrap-up shoot, Meng Yuxi over there quickly received the news of Shi Wu’s rejection.

"Did Wu Mu reject it directly?"

Wei Feng, Meng Yuxi’s agent, was a bit surprised. He was the one leading the contact with Wumu Studio, as he saw potential in Wu Mu’s future development. After careful consideration, he chose to reach out to Wu Mu.

But no matter how promising it looked, he never expected that they would have no interest in further engagement or exploration whatsoever, and just directly reject it?

Meng Yuxi, after all, is a well-known second-tier figure in the circle, sincerely not asking what resources she would get, nor signature fees, even covering breach penalties herself.

It seemed like a clear profit, and a significant one at that.

But not even a bit tempted, doesn’t even plan to engage to learn more?

Meng Yuxi herself briefly stunned, recalling that when they previously contacted Shi Wu over there, Shi Wu seemed quite interested, having asked quite a few things.

Why suddenly no interest, directly rejected?

She shook her head somewhat puzzled, "Uncle, if they’re rejecting us, let’s wait for other companies to reach out."

Wei Feng is her uncle.

"If Wu Mu’s side won’t sign, then so be it. Let’s wait for other companies to hear and come with offers." Wei Feng never held much hope for Wumu Studio, and now not signing seems better.

Meng Yuxi, as a well-developing second-tier in the circle, certainly isn’t lacking in interested parties.

But after saying this, seeing Meng Yuxi still lost in thought, Wei Feng furrowed his brow slightly, then sighed slightly resigned, "You really believe in his future development? Just go find Lu Yao to help you get in touch."

Before reaching the hotel, he unexpectedly spotted a familiar face on the roadside.

Oh, what’s she doing here?

Wu Mu looked curiously at a figure standing at the entrance of a restaurant ahead.

Turns out it’s Su Meng, who he first met back in the initial episode at the Star Agency.

Right now, she’s standing beside a red Ferrari, looking irritated, talking to someone in the car.

Wu Mu couldn’t see the person inside the Ferrari, but evidently, that person wasn’t in a great mood either, because after a brief chat, they directly hit the accelerator, leaving Su Meng behind as they drove away.

Leaving Su Meng standing there, frowning at the departing car.

Wu Mu drove over with a smile, rolled down the window, and joked, "Hey, Little Su, long time no see."

Su Meng turned to look at him, seemingly momentarily stunned.

It’s only their second meeting in person.

However, Su Meng seemed to frequently keep up with his situation; Wu Mu often got feedback on his new songs from her on WeChat.

They didn’t chat much, just simply shared thoughts like the songs were nice.

Well, whether a hater or fan, at least she contributed to his viewership.

Wu Mu smiled and said, "Did your driver ditch you? Want me to give you a lift?"

Su Meng hesitated slightly, "Let me just tell my family."

"Aunt Qing, no need to come. Yeah, my friend will give me a ride back, okay, I know."

After making the call, Su Meng opened the passenger door of Wu Mu’s car and got in.

After clarifying her destination, Wu Mu was curious, "You’re from Shen City, right? What’s brought you here?"

Su Meng shook her head, "I’m from Shen City, but my family also has a house here in Beijing."

She paused, rare to see her with a bit of a smile, "Earlier, we were also at the venue, my friends almost wanted to cover their ears during your first song."

Wu Mu laughed, "Well, that’s got nothing to do with me, my singing was spot on."

As Wu Mu chatted casually with Su Meng, he soon drove her home, to a large courtyard near the Forbidden City in the Upper City District.

Ah, confirmed, she’s another one of the Heavenly Dragon People.

Wu Mu was quite surprised, although her demeanor and words daily showed that Su Meng’s family was likely quite wealthy.

But didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.

Just that courtyard alone is estimated at least...

The master currently can’t be seen, Yang Rongfa asked, "A lot of top directors and company bosses from the circle came today, should I introduce you?"

That’s quite an opportunity for a typical person in the circle.

Knowing more people is always good.

Yet... remembering the experience from the previous cocktail party, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.

Wu Mu shook his head, "No..."

But halfway through shaking his head, his gaze passed over a figure in a small private meeting room beside the main lounge, slightly pausing.

"Is Director Lin here too?" Wu Mu inquired of Yang Rongfa.

The Director Lin he mentioned isn’t Lin Qingyue, but Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Though Lin Qingyue might come back tonight, she wouldn’t come here as she needs to deal with the crew’s matters.

And he had mentioned planning to attend the cocktail party in their morning chat with Lin Qingyue, if she were coming, she would have definitely told him.

"Yeah, Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang are here too," Yang Rongfa nodded.

Wu Mu quickly thought over it, both were of the same tier as Lin Xueming, top figures in the circle.

However, he didn’t plan to curry favor with these major directors for resources, indifferent towards these two.

Yet, seeing Lin Xueming, it wouldn’t be proper not to greet.

"Let me go and greet Director Lin." He directly headed towards the small meeting room.

"Director Lin and others are here, do you want to greet them?" Yang Rongfa leaned over and whispered.

While speaking, he also pointed his finger towards the small meeting room beside the main lounge.

It seemed like a routine private meeting place over there, separated by décor in the middle, so the whole view wasn’t visible, only that it was smaller than here.

Then several closer sofas were arranged, with quite a few people chatting over there.

Director Lin?

Wu Mu pondered briefly, immediately realizing it was Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Though Lin Qingyue is back tonight, as said, needing to deal with the crew’s matters, she won’t appear here.

Moreover, they had a chat earlier this morning about him attending the cocktail party, if Lin Qingyue were coming, she would have informed him.

"I’ll go greet." He nodded in agreement.

If Lin Xueming is here, a greeting is definitely necessary.

"The bosses of Light Shadow Media and Yahua Film and Television, along with Director Tang and Director Xie are here too," Yang Rongfa again whispered.

Light Shadow Media, Yahua Film and Television?

Even with less contact with the circle, Wu Mu knew these two companies, while Yang Rongfa’s company sits in the middle tier, these two are genuine top-tier.

Not only are they listed companies, they regularly produce major films annually, and engage in artist management, with numerous big-name stars under their wing.

No need for elaborate introduction on them.

As for Director Tang and Director Xie?

For Yang Rongfa to mention them specifically, they surely aren’t ordinary individuals.

Wu Mu thought briefly, instantly knowing who they were.

It’s Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang.

Major directors of Lin Xueming’s tier.

All long-established and celebrated figures within the circle, having both status and reputation.
