Chapter 228: Chapter 217: Urging Wu to Play Games (4k)_2

An epiphany, huh? Do you think this is a cultivation novel?

But Wu Mu, who had already experienced one "epiphany"...

Sun Yueqing couldn’t understand, "Is falling in love really that powerful?"

Whether it was singing or the acting skills he just displayed, all were shown by Wu Mu after his previous heartbreak and house collapse.

Just from a breakup, he suddenly metamorphosed?

Hmm, if it’s really that effective, she felt that she might as well give it a try.

Sun Yueqing scrutinized Wu Mu with her eyes up and down.

Wu Mu, speechless, said, "What does it have to do with heartbreak? I had accumulated experience, it was a case of ’gradual accumulation leading to a sudden breakthrough!’"

A gradual accumulation leading to a sudden breakthrough?

Heh, you better be.

Sun Yueqing hummed in her heart.

After finishing this fantasy scene, Wu Mu didn’t have any scenes today, or rather, not for the whole month.

The main filming at Dongshan Film and Television City was for scenes taking place eighteen years later, and by then, he was supposed to be someone who had long been drowned.

So apart from this fantasy scene, he didn’t have to appear at all, the main filming was happening in Chun City.

His schedule was temporarily cleared.

Yang Rongfa and the others all thought that Wu Mu wouldn’t come to the set this month.

For an actor with Wu Mu’s fame, they couldn’t expect him to stay with the crew for so long without any scenes to shoot.

But what they didn’t expect was that the next morning, Wu Mu showed up on the set again.

Was he planning to follow the crew even without scenes?

This Wu Mu was quite dedicated.

Yang Rongfa thought to himself, and his impression of Wu Mu improved a few notches.

As a producer, he naturally had a better feeling towards dedicated actors.

Moreover, with Wu’s performance from yesterday, it seemed that he had made up for his shortcomings in acting, so for a moment Yang Rongfa felt that letting Wu Mu invest in their series was indeed a good decision.

Not only was he generous with money, but he could also take care of the theme song, and there were no problems with his acting.

Hmm, if he had a company backing him that could help them get in touch with platforms to sell the series, that would be even better.

Yang Rongfa thought to himself.

He didn’t bother Wu Mu, just let him move around freely.

Although he couldn’t control Wu Mu anyway—the man was a major investor, it was best not to manage him.

However, during the filming breaks, after occasionally glancing at Wu Mu, he slowly began to feel that something was amiss.

Why did it seem that Wu Mu, who came to the studio, wasn’t really watching other people’s performances but instead was constantly on a computer typing away?

He finally couldn’t contain his curiosity and pretended to casually pass by behind Wu Mu, then glanced at Wu Mu’s computer screen.

And with that glance, he was rendered speechless.

There was a game editing page on Wu Mu’s computer screen.

He actually came to the set to work on games!

I mean, couldn’t you just comfortably work on games at home?

No one here can manage you, so why bother coming to the set?

Yang Rongfa was very speechless.

Of course, it’s because there are no points to earn at home.

Indeed, as Wu Mu had previously anticipated, an actor could enjoy the basic points bonus even when not filming.

Ever since he took on Wang Chuan’s role and the series officially started filming, as long as he stayed with the crew, his points continued to rise.

The rise was quicker when he had shooting tasks, and slower when there were none, offering only a very basic bonus.

But even this basic bonus, accumulated over days and months, was no small figure.

What was even more wonderful was that for the rise in points, all that was required was his physical presence in the crew, without restricting what he did.

Working on games in the crew or slacking off with his phone, he could still enjoy the points bonus.

Wu Mu happily reaped the benefits from Atong’s labor, working on his private tasks.

Sun Yueqing, who had long noticed his actions, was speechless, "If you’re going to make games, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to do it at home? Why run here?"

Wu Mu puffed himself up with righteous indignation, "Because I’m dedicated!"

Sun Yueqing gave him a blank look, her curiosity piqued as she glanced at his computer screen, "Is this the game that hasn’t even been completed yet, and has already sold over sixty million?"

Wu Mu shook his head, "Not just sixty million anymore, the total income is now eighty-three million and seven hundred thousand."

After the fifty million Performance Card was redeemed, the game continued to receive sponsorships due to its popularity and the fact that the demo was genuinely fun, so people kept funding it.

Now, the total revenue from this game already exceeded eighty million.

Based on the sponsorship amount of twenty-eight per share, it meant that even before the game was completed, it had already pre-sold three million copies.

"Over eighty million."

Sun Yueqing was amazed.

"If I could also have this kind of game production ability, why would I bother being a celebrity? I’d just make games and earn money."

Wu Mu laughed, "Making games isn’t as profitable as being a celebrity."

He had the system’s Performance Card and just copied over a successful game from his past life. Otherwise, normally speaking, not only is making games risky, but it also time-consuming.

Making a game could take one or two years, and that’s considered quick.

The input-to-output ratio, compared to being a celebrity, was not even close.

"Being a celebrity is indeed more lucrative than making games."

Sun Yueqing envied.

She was really envious of Wu Mu’s earning ability. He could even earn more than her, and she was a top celebrity without a collapsed reputation.

Whatever he did, he made a ton of money.

"When will your game be finished? The whole internet is waiting for its release, even the comment section of my Weibo is filled with it."

Sun Yueqing asked.

"In your Weibo comment section?"

Wu Mu was surprised. It wasn’t strange to see such comments under his own posts, but why run to Sun Yueqing’s Weibo to post about it.

"Yeah."

To prove she wasn’t making it up, Sun Yueqing reached for her phone.

She opened her Weibo and didn’t bother to search. She simply opened the comments section of one of her latest endorsement promotion posts.

And indeed, there they were.

A comment upvoted to the top of the hot section.

"Sun Yueqing, hurry up and nudge Wu to work on the game! If he can officially release it within this year, I’ll buy a set of the cosmetics you’re endorsing!"

Under this hot comment, many others followed suit.

"Yes, support! If you can get Wu to release the game within this year, I’ll get a set for my girlfriend too!"

"Add one, hurry up and push Wu! Better yet, call him every morning to disturb his sleep, make sure he can’t rest easy!"

The comments even included escalating rewards.

"If you get Wu to finish by the end of the year, I’ll buy one set. If you make Wu finish within five months, I’ll buy ten sets. If you get Wu to do it within three months, I’ll buy a hundred sets. I am not lying, my Alipay balance screenshot as proof."

Aside from the many gamer comments, there were also responses from Sun Yueqing’s fans.

They were speechless, "Why are you pushing Wu to work on the game in our Aqing’s place, instead of his own Weibo?"

Gaming fans chuckled, "What’s the use of nagging at Wu’s Weibo? He’s just a lazy dog. No matter how much you spam, he won’t bother with it."

"We’ve already given up hope on pushing Wu. I send private messages to Wu Mu every day, and after sending a big load for a month, I found out my messages are still unread. Wu really doesn’t take people seriously, not even bothering to pretend to care about fans."

"Isn’t your idol good friends with Wu? Have her call him more often to urge Wu. That way, she can help her friend Wu make progress, and also win our support. It’s a win-win."

This suggestion seemed to make sense.

Although not all Sun Yueqing’s fans liked Wu Mu, some of them always disliked Wu Mu.

They felt their sister was so talented; she should shine on her own as the top celebrity, and not always be tied to that collapsed-idol Wu Mu. What does that look like?

Especially, they must be vigilant against any hints of romance at all costs!

But since fans tend to be easily influenced by their idol’s attitude, quite a few of Sun Yueqing’s fans were reasonably okay with Wu Mu, at least more peaceful than anywhere else.

So, many of her fans were quite supportive of their idol’s offline prompt for updates.

Even the brand side’s official Weibo joined in teasingly, "Aqing, don’t miss out on this delivered sales volume. Give Teacher Wu Mu a daily call to nudge him."
