Chapter 574: Chapter 398_2

Lin Qingyue isn’t a celebrity and doesn’t really manage her Weibo much, so the atmosphere there is noticeably quieter, and she doesn’t have many followers, just about 16 or 17 thousand.

Moreover, it seems like he had a bit of a hand in that.

He clicked on the top Weibo post in Lin Qingyue’s comment section.

"Are you and Wu Gou dating?"

"Is Director Lin Wu Gou’s girlfriend?"

"Is Wu Gou in a relationship?"

The top comments were all questioning his relationship with Lin Qingyue.

Besides these questions that seemed like they were from passersby, there were also quite a few comments from haters.

"Disgusting, another sugar mommy? Is that dog so likable to you all?"

"Ha, just wait to see that dog’s house of cards come tumbling down again."

"Stay away from him!"

Wu Mu frowned slightly at these haters’ comments.

When these people post on his Weibo, he usually can’t be bothered to respond, but seeing them posting on Lin Qingyue’s page was a bit irritating.

But seeing that Lin Qingyue hadn’t responded at all, he thought about it and decided against engaging with them. Instead, he responded to a film enthusiast who asked Lin Qingyue, "Is your new movie going to Cannes for exhibition?"

"Yes, aiming for the main competition section at Cannes, though I don’t really understand the film... but I’m confident in Director Lin winning an award."

...

"You’re so confident in me?"

Lin Qingyue looked at Wu Mu, smiling brightly.

It was already noon, and Wu Mu had spent the morning playing games at home. Seeing that it was almost Lin Qingyue’s lunch break, he drove to find her, planning to go out for a meal together later.

Wu Mu smiled, "Confident, of course."

Well, he didn’t have that much confidence, as he hadn’t seen the completed work by Lin Qingyue yet and wasn’t sure what it would be like.

However, the system seemed pretty confident, awarding high points during filming.

This indicated that Director Lin’s film must have its merits in some aspects.

"Do you read Weibo? I thought you didn’t; why don’t you just delete those haters’ comments?" Wu Mu asked.

"I occasionally check...can’t be bothered to deal with them anyway. It’s just a bunch of people who liked you and ended up hating you; whatever they say, I take it as jealousy. The louder they shout, the more superior I feel," Lin Qingyue said openly, waving her hand.

Wu Mu: "..."

That’s pretty intense.

Lin Qingyue chuckled, "Seeing the things they write, you can almost imagine how pissed off they were yesterday... but I really didn’t expect that your live-stream selling would be that popular."

"Just luck." Wu Mu drove, heading to Xin Rongji as Lin Qingyue suggested, replied casually without much thought.

But Lin Qingyue seemed to take it quite seriously, jokingly saying, "You’re so good at everything; it’s stressing me out a little. Sometimes I feel like, apart from my family, I might not be quite a match for you."

Hmm?

Wu Mu was startled, looking at her amusedly, "Director Lin, you’re the winner of the Venice Golden Lion and the future Cannes Golden Palm award-winning director. It’s me who’s the one reaching up."

"You don’t care about those things."

"Who said I don’t care? I do. Just thinking about how my girlfriend, who’s only in her twenties, is such a world-renowned director, I might just wake up laughing in my sleep," Wu Mu marveled with delight.

Lin Qingyue laughed so hard that her eyes curved, touching his side, "So fake."

"What’s fake about it? Ticklish." Wu Mu freed a hand to hold hers and laughed, "Everyone online says I’m going to be kept by a rich lady again; I’m not worthy."

Lin Qingyue held his hand graciously, "No problem, I’ll keep you! Anything you need, sister’s got it covered for you."

The rich lady sister is quite capable, the two chatted along the way and then talked about the reaction from Yan Yongmei and others after Wu Mu’s live-stream product selling yesterday.

Yan Yongmei and the others were naturally shocked too, feeling that Wu Mu was too versatile, and his money-making ability was exaggerated.

Then the conversation turned to Wu Mu’s current status in the industry and his career development.

Lin Qingyue pondered, "From my observation, in terms of popularity, you’re still generally lower than the likes of Mo Mo and Zhao Xue, who have been famous national celebrities for years. Especially among older and less entertainment-focused demographics, there’s a significant gap. As for Mo Mo, I’ve seen her fan demographic research before."

"Her fan demographics cover a wide range of ages and genders deeply. Her active fans, those who frequently interact and support her, are still mainly women between 15 to 35, but she also has a large group of male passerby fans in this age range.

These people are the main active group online, and most of Mo Mo’s album sales, concert tickets, and endorsement values come from their support."

"Then outside of this group,"

"These fans don’t usually help out with data-promoting tasks or interact on various platforms, but when she releases an album or has a concert, quite a portion of these people choose to support her."

"Besides this group, Mo Mo also has significant popularity among men and women over 35 who are not as focused on the entertainment industry. These people become interested to learn more sometimes when they see Mo Mo’s new moves. Then there are..."

However, before reaching the hotel, he unexpectedly discovered a familiar face on the side of the road.

Oh, what’s she doing here?

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

It was Su Meng, whom he met a long time ago on the first season of Star Agency.

She was standing next to a red Ferrari at the moment, with an angry look on her face, talking to someone inside the Ferrari.

From his side, Wu Mu couldn’t see what the person in the Ferrari looked like, but that person clearly had quite a temper too, as not long after, they just hit the gas and drove off, leaving Su Meng standing there, frowning and watching.

Wu Mu chuckled as he drove over, rolled down the window, and joked, "Long time no see, Little Su."

Su Meng turned to look in his direction, seeming a bit startled.

This was only the second time the two had met in reality.

Though Su Meng seemed to pay quite a lot of attention to him, as Wu Mu often received feedback from Su Meng about his new songs on WeChat.

They didn’t chat much, just casually mentioning that the songs sounded nice.

Well, whether black fans or white fans, they at least contributed to his views.

Wu Mu laughed and said, "Did your driver run off? Need me to give you a lift?"

Su Meng hesitated for a moment, "Let me tell my family first."

"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to come, my friend will take me home, yes, I understand."

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

After clarifying the address where she wanted to go, Wu Mu was quite curious, "Aren’t you from Shen City, so why are you here?"

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

She paused, her face unusually breaking into a smile, "We were just at the venue earlier, and my friends wanted to cover their ears during your first song."

Wu Mu laughed loudly, "That’s not my problem; there was nothing wrong with my singing."

Chatting idly, Wu Mu soon brought Su Meng home, to a large courtyard house in the Upper City District not far from the Forbidden City.

Hmm, confirmed, another Heavenly Dragon Person.

Wu Mu was quite surprised, though. You could tell from her usual demeanor that Su Meng’s family was probably quite wealthy.

But he didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.

This courtyard house alone is probably at least...

The host was temporarily unavailable, Yang Rongfa asked, "Quite a few big directors and company bosses from within the industry are here today. Want me to introduce you?"

This could be an opportunity for someone in the industry.

It’s always good to know more people.

But... recalling the previous gala experience, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.

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

However, midway through shaking his head, his gaze swept over a figure in a small lounge area separated from the main living room, paused slightly.

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

The Lin Director he mentioned was not Lin Qingyue, but Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Lin Qingyue might come back tonight but would be busy handling matters with the crew and wouldn’t be here.

Furthermore, while chatting with Lin Qingyue in the morning, he mentioned attending this gala, and if Lin Qingyue were also coming, she would have told him.
