Chapter 621: Chapter 422_2

The black fans were simply overjoyed.

Finally, finally seeing this bastard

Zhang Li and Han Yan exchanged glances.

Although the black fans’ criticism was excessive, the first day’s sales of thirty thousand seemed somewhat underwhelming, right?

Not to mention comparing it with those albums from Japan, even when compared to Wu Mu’s own two albums with over ten million sales, the gap was significant.

Zhang Li hesitated for a moment, "His songs should be fine... could it be that he’s..."

At this moment, she was standing by a red Ferrari, looking angry and saying something to the person inside.

Wu Mu couldn’t see the person in the Ferrari, but that person clearly had quite a temper too, as they stepped on the gas after a few words, leaving Su Meng standing there as they drove off.

Only Su Meng was left standing there, frowning as she watched them leave.

Wu Mu chuckled as he drove over, rolled down the window, and said jokingly: "Hi, Little Su, long time no see."

Su Meng turned her head toward him, seeming slightly surprised.

This was only their second meeting in real life.

However, Su Meng seemed to keep up with his situation quite a bit, as Wu Mu often received feedback from her on WeChat about his new songs.

They didn’t chat much, just casually mentioned that the songs sounded good or similar.

Well, whether black fans or white fans, at least they contributed to the viewership.

Wu Mu smiled and said: "Your driver left? Need a ride?"

Su Meng hesitated slightly, "I’ll let my family know."

"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to come over, yeah, a friend is taking me home, alright, I know."

After the call, Su Meng opened the passenger door of Wu Mu’s car and sat inside.

After figuring out her destination, Wu Mu was quite curious: "Aren’t you from Shen City? How come you’re here?"

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

She paused for a moment, with a rare slight smile, "We were inside the venue just now, and my friends wanted to cover their ears at your first song."

Wu Mu laughed heartily, "That’s not my fault, though, I didn’t sing off-key."

Wu Mu and Su Meng chatted idly, and soon he dropped her off at a large courtyard house not far from the Forbidden City in the Upper City District.

Hmm, confirmed again, another one of the Heavenly Dragon People.

Wu Mu was quite surprised, although Su Meng’s family seemed quite wealthy from her regular behavior and speech.

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

This courtyard house alone was probably worth at least

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

This would be an opportunity for a regular person in the circle.

It’s always good to know more people.

But... recalling the past experience at that cocktail party, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.

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

But halfway through shaking his head, his gaze swept across the main living room to a partitioned-off small reception room where he caught sight of a shadowy figure, slightly pausing.

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

By Director Lin, he naturally didn’t mean Lin Qingyue, but Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Although Lin Qingyue could come back tonight, she had to deal with matters in the film crew, so she wouldn’t be here.

And that morning, when chatting with Lin Qingyue, he mentioned he would attend this cocktail party, so if Lin Qingyue were coming, she would have told him.

"Yes, Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang are also here," Yang Rongfa nodded.

Wu Mu pondered for a moment; these two were also directors of the same level as Lin Xueming in the circle, belonging to the top-tier figures.

However, he didn’t intend to befriend these big directors for resources, so he didn’t mind about these two.

But with Lin Xueming here, it wouldn’t be right not to greet him.

"I’ll go say hi to Director Lin." He promptly headed towards the small reception room.

"They’re all there; do you want to greet them?" Yang Rongfa quietly said as he approached.

While speaking, he pointed towards the small reception room next to the main living room.

The small reception room seemed to be a place for casual private meetings, surrounded by decoration for partitioning, so its full view wasn’t visible; it appeared smaller than the main room, cozier.

There were closer-set sofas with quite a few people there chatting.

Director Lin?

Wu Mu thought for a second and immediately realized it was Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Even though Lin Qingyue would come back this evening, she had to manage affairs with the crew and wouldn’t be present here.

Also, that morning, when talking with Lin Qingyue, Wu Mu mentioned attending this cocktail party; if Lin Qingyue had attended as well, she would have definitely told him.

"I’ll go say hello," he nodded affirmatively.

With Lin Xueming present, one must go and greet him.

"Light Shadow Media and Yahua Film and Television’s bosses, along with Directors Tang and Xie, are also here," Yang Rongfa mentioned quietly again.

Light Shadow Media, Yahua Film and Television?

Even without much interaction with the circle, Wu Mu knew these two companies; if Yang Rongfa’s company is considered mid-level, then these two are genuine top-tier within the industry.

Not only are they listed companies, but they also consistently produce large-scale productions annually, with artist management and numerous renowned celebrities under them.

The identities of these companies need no further explanation.

As for Directors Tang and Xie?

Since Yang Rongfa mentioned them specifically, they must be remarkable individuals.

Wu Mu pondered briefly and immediately knew who they were.

They were Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang.

Directors of the same stature as Lin Xueming.

People who have long been successful in the industry, with status and fame to match.

The main big shots were indeed there.

Wu Mu and Yang Rongfa proceeded toward the small reception room.

As they got closer, they could see the situation clearly in the small reception room.

Lin Xueming indeed was there, sitting centrally on a sofa, holding a glass of wine and speaking about something.

Around him were quite a few people, two who distinctly appeared as boss figures, and several managers standing by with artists under them.

Director Tang Wei, wearing a top cotton beret, seemingly trying to cover something yet failing to hide the baldness on his head. Director Xie Chunfang, whose name suggests grace, was tall and larger than everyone else present.

And then...

Wu Mu paused.

A woman, around her forties, in a black fitted suit with a pearl necklace, elegantly chatting quietly with someone beside her.

She’s Lin Qingyue’s mother?

This was the first time Wu Mu saw Lin Qingyue’s mother in person; during previous visits to Lin Qingyue’s home, they hadn’t crossed paths.

But Lin Qingyue’s mother, Du Lan, was an old-generation film queen, and having seen her photos before, he recognized her.

After a brief pause, Wu Mu continued forward.

Then, after a few steps, he encountered another familiar face.

At the side of the small reception room, a man about thirty years old stood holding a dish, listening intently to Lin Xueming.

It was Geng Wei.

The initial boss of Xiao Yi Company, who wanted to sign him and, upon being rejected, became furious and sought to blackball him.

Yet, Wu Mu didn’t care much about him and kept moving forward.

Once close enough, he could hear Lin Xueming speaking, "The film market this year can be described as shocking. The National Film Bureau’s official data hasn’t been released yet, but I got the detailed numbers from their director, Cao Guang: this year’s total box office is 42.5 billion yuan, down 21% from last year."

Lin Xueming’s serious tone paused as he noticed Wu Mu approaching.

Not only him, but everyone else in the small reception room also noticed Wu Mu.

The faces in the guestroom varied, with some who were clearly just there to hang out, looking slightly surprised as if baffled by the sight of this rare guest.

The major company bosses and directors Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang merely glanced briefly, not paying much attention.

Lin Qingyue’s mother, Du Lan, initially didn’t react, staring at Wu Mu’s face for half a second before her face showed a dawning realization.
