Chapter 221: Chapter 214: Tongzi Brother, Save Me Please (4k)

Can you guys not be weird.

Most people still remember Wu Mu’s appearance at the initial creative meeting.

Back then, he was just a supporting role, investors barely acknowledged him, treating him however they wanted.

Zhou Yu’s agent also thought he had no backing and seized any opportunity to belittle him.

Everyone else just watched for entertainment, expecting him to suffer a huge loss.

Yet, instead of seeing his huge loss, they saw investor Li Hu’s huge loss, who ended up directly in jail.

Wu Mu then replaced Li Hu’s position, becoming the largest investor in their project.

But as strange as it was, Wu Mu’s investor status still couldn’t make everyone see him in a new light.

After all, sixty or seventy million is something many in the audience could still afford.

Wu Mu investing so much money didn’t mean he was powerful or wealthy; it just meant he was a naive big spender, daring to put almost all of his hard-earned wealth into such a project.

Most still harbored the idea of laughing at Wu Mu, which showed when Wu Mu finished speaking and stepped down from the stage; hardly anyone approached him to chat, a stark contrast to how everyone treated investor Li Hu before.

Only Wu Mu’s old friend Sun Yueqing came up to him.

Sun Yueqing, envious and jealous, said, "You really are rich!"

Wu Mu looked at her and countered, "Aren’t you?"

Sun Yueqing honestly shook her head, "No."

This response made Wu Mu stunned, "That can’t be right, aren’t you the top actress among the new generation?"

And she had been popular for several years; how could she not even have sixty or seventy million?

"I used all my money to buy houses, several in both Beijing and Shen City."

Investing in real estate in this kind of environment?

Wu Mu looked at Sun Yueqing as if she was a fool, "You are a bigger fool than I am."

Sun Yueqing, a bit frustrated, hit him lightly, "The locations I bought are all prime spots; they’ll go up in value sooner or later!"

She glared at Wu Mu, "You are so rich, lend me some!"

Wu Mu laughed heartily, "Sure, how much do you need?"

She was actually going to borrow.

After muttering about the foolish rich guy, Sun Yueqing changed the subject and mockingly said, "You are being looked down upon."

Wu Mu looked around, defiantly, "Who, who dares to look down on me, the biggest investor? I’ll kick them out."

Sun Yueqing scoffed, "Big investor, give me more scenes."

Wu Mu chuckled, "Add more of our love scenes? Do you want to play in ’Starry Sky Lovers’ Part Two?"

Starry Sky Lovers was a TV drama where he and Sun Yueqing played the lead roles, a modern idol drama, which, although popular when it aired, the reviews were...

Mentioning this made Sun Yueqing a bit angry, "You always have a poker face; even if it fails, it doesn’t bother you, and I ended up being the one criticized harshly!"

Well, back to Wu Mu being looked down upon.

He was indeed being disrespected.

It was the middle-aged lead actors who were casually chatting on the other side.

"Disappeared" main narrative follows a middle-aged taxi driver, Wang An, who gets involved in an 18-year-old dismemberment case related to his son because of a car accident and then gathers two old middle-aged friends to start investigating and solving the case.

In terms of scenes, these three are the top three leads, all veteran actors renowned in the industry.

There was Cui Fu, who had previously won the Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards; Zhao Qihui, a middle-aged male actor nominated for a major award at the Cannes Film Festival when he was young; and Wu Jing, a drama actor from the top of the industry’s hierarchy of acting.

These veteran actors weren’t naïve like Wu Mu; of course, their true thoughts wouldn’t show on their faces, so outwardly, there was no sign of them looking down on Wu Mu.

But people can read the atmosphere, from their polite greeting to Wu Mu, facilitated by Yang Rongfa’s introduction, followed by no further communication, it was somewhat clear they didn’t really want to associate with Wu Mu.

Perhaps they felt that they weren’t in the same league; they were veteran actors who relied on acting skills and real talent, while Wu Mu was a pretty-boy internet celebrity, famous for his awkward acting.

On TV interviews, Wu Mu was the type they critiqued.

So maintaining a respectful but distant attitude wasn’t surprising.

Sun Yueqing also couldn’t understand, "You were doing well; why think about doing TV dramas? Wasn’t your singer path quite good?"

In her view, Wu Mu making TV dramas was purely a bad move. Being a popular idol with fan support made sense earlier for making money through acting, but now it was clear he was shifting towards a performance-driven path; continuing with poor acting in TV dramas would only yield negative outcomes.

Looked down upon?

Wu Mu chuckled, "A man must be weighed anew every three days."

Really?

Sun Yueqing looked him up and down, her expression skeptical.

If someone else had said this, she would have taken it as mere boasting, but this came from Wu Mu, who had suddenly risen from an internet singer to a unique level in singing prowess.

She began to harbor doubts.

Sun Yueqing’s expression suddenly softened, she put on a serene smile, her gaze fixated forward, as if watching something, then nonchalantly said, "He is the only family I have now."

Wu Mu was taken aback.

Quickly realizing Sun Yueqing was testing him.

He had also memorized his part of the script during this time, immediately recalling which scene this was from.
