Chapter 244: Chapter 229: Shameless to the Extreme (4k)

Hmm?

Come to my studio and be co-bosses?

Wu Mu looked at Sun Yueqing with a peculiar expression.

Are you sure it’s about combining strengths and not just mooching off my Performance Card?

Atong is already exhausted from dealing with a slacker like me, let’s not add any more to Atong’s burdens.

Sun Yueqing was quite pleased with her own brilliant ideas, saying cheerfully, "Anyway, I’m going to open my own studio sooner or later, and joining yours just so happens to be perfect for..."

She was speaking happily, then her eyes met Wu Mu’s.

Her face froze, trying to interpret the meaning behind his expression.

She was livid.

"I don’t mind joining you, and you’re actually snubbing me!?" Sun Yueqing couldn’t believe it, her eyes widening in shock.

Wu Mu couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "We may be close, but when it comes to money, things need to be clear. If you really join my studio, I’m afraid my cut might be even higher than what your current company takes."

Sun Yueqing punched him out of irritation, "You’re really being a dog right now! Your status is even lower than mine, why should you take a cut from me instead of the other way around?"

Wu Mu simply stated the truth, "I think my studio has quite a lot of potential."

Sun Yueqing gave him a blank look, "Wu Mu, your confidence makes you seem like a stranger to me."

...

Wu Mu continued acting like a government employee on the set, but the impact of his Huiteng Automobile endorsement was far from over.

The event not only generated a lot of buzz among netizens but also created a significant influence within various circles.

Like the deal with Clear Spring Mineral Water mentioned previously at the company, and the brand that wanted to renew their contract with him.

Clear Spring Mineral Water had initially planned to hire him just as a spokesperson for a product line, offering only 18 million.

Now, after the Huiteng endorsement, they changed it to make him the spokesperson for the entire distilled water product line, raising the price to 26 million.

The brand that wanted to renew their contract was initially unhappy with his unreasonable price hike and was reconsidering the renewal.

However, once this endorsement news broke, they immediately contacted him, agreeing to his asking price.

Both sides demanded to sign and officially announce the deals as soon as possible, clearly aiming to ride the current online hype.

Wu Mu, of course, gladly accepted everything offered.

After spending two days shooting the new endorsement materials, the shooting in Beijing finally wrapped up, and it was time to move to Chun City to continue filming.

...

In Chun City, outside the old medical college in Anning District.

Wu Mu, who previously slacked off like a civil servant, couldn’t keep it up this time.

Chun City was his main filming site; much of his shooting was slated for this location.

Today was the second day since the crew moved here, and finally, it was time for his second scene.

Preparations for shooting were underway, and he, as the lead actor, sat in the rest area flipping through the script.

Sun Yueqing, another lead in today’s shoot, sat beside him and asked curiously, "Didn’t you memorize the lines already?"

"Just cramming to get familiar again," replied Wu Mu.

Director Wang’s story is quite simple. The shooting in Beijing revolved around a group of middle-aged leads who inadvertently start re-investigating a case from eighteen years ago.

Now in Chun City, the focus is on reenacting the events from that case eighteen years prior.

Specifically, in the drama, the female lead Lin Mo grew up in an unhappy home, with deceased parents and a younger brother sent to an orphanage, all while under the guardianship of her uncle, a scumbag who molested her.

Having come of age, she gets into a university in her brother’s city, aiming to escape her past misfortunes.

At first, she succeeds, reuniting with her brother and finally gaining independence. She even meets a boy she likes—played by Wu Mu.

But her past misfortunes catch up with her. Her scumbag uncle tracks her down, along with a Hong Kong businessman who has set his sights on her... Driven to a corner and falling back into darkness, she snaps, murdering the businessman who assaulted her and another hostess complicit in her suffering.

After dismembering the bodies, she cuts off one of her own fingers, staging her own death, and then plans to assume the identity of the hostess to flee with the boy she likes.

However, her boyfriend, who has lived here all his life, can’t accept her having killed two people and hesitates.

The utterly despairing Lin Mo then opts for suicide by jumping into the river, and her boyfriend follows suit in an attempt to save her. She is rescued, but he dies.

The main plot revolves around these events, with the other middle-aged lead, Wang An, a father seeking the truth about his son’s death, and the police officer who previously handled the case, all centering around this main storyline.

The scene they’d shoot today was the first meeting between Wu Mu’s character and the female lead, Lin Mo.

Sun Yueqing, observing from the side and seeing the part he was reviewing, commented with a laugh, "I’ve got to say, I really like the script since Director Wang modified it, it feels much more reasonable than before."

On this topic, she couldn’t help voicing some criticisms, "Which normal girl would like a guy who persistently bothers her and guilt-trips her into liking him!"

"Look at what the character did in the earlier version of the story: a high school dropout pretending to welcome new students at the medical college’s gate while actually scoping out girls, tirelessly pestering someone day after day, coming as an outsider during military training just to hold an umbrella over her head in front of everyone in the rain – isn’t that just asking for a bad reputation and social death!"

"Then there’s him trying to prove himself by jumping into a river when she doesn’t like him, saying if he doesn’t die, she must be with him... If I ever met someone like that in real life, I’d run as far as I possibly could!"
