Chapter 258: Chapter 239: I Have an Idea for Promoting the Show

"Congratulations, Teacher Wu Mu, on officially wrapping up your filming!"

As the lead investor for the production crew, as well as the composer for the series, and with his outstanding performance in the drama, he even took on the task of revising scenes and the script to some extent.

So, when it was time for Wu Mu to wrap up his parts, Yang Rongfa specially ordered a cake and gave him a big bouquet of flowers, gathering all the crew together for a small personal wrap-up celebration for him.

"Thank you, thank you."

Wu Mu laughed as he expressed his gratitude, but he had to say, Yang Rongfa really knew how to play his cards right.

Initially, he was only tasked with composition, and he didn’t feel much about it. But once he became an investor, he realized that this man was really quite crafty.

During the usual interactions, he wouldn’t excessively flatter you, but he would still make you feel refreshed in various details, feeling his respect and attention towards a major investor.

In the film and television production company that he and Wang Ren co-invested in, despite Wang Ren’s tendency to make art films that frequently lost money, it hadn’t gone bankrupt. Instead, it had a solid reputation. Wu Mu felt that Yang Rongfa must hold the dominant role.

Otherwise, with Wang Ren’s way of doing things, he probably could only rely on rich investors who didn’t mind losing money to invest in what he liked.

Several days had passed since the diving scene, and after finishing all his other minor parts in the past few days, he had officially wrapped up his filming.

Sun Yueqing felt somewhat reluctant to see Wu Mu wrap up.

For these past two months, she had grown accustomed to her friend coming to work every day like clocking in, sitting beside her watching what he did, and occasionally using him as material to take pictures and videos to post on Weibo.

"Ah, now that you’ve wrapped up, who knows when I’ll see you again."

People in the circle are always rushing about with various engagements, meeting seldom and parting often. Even if they are friends, if it was not for this drama bringing them together, they usually wouldn’t see each other for months on end.

Wu Mu chuckled, "If you want to see me, just come to my house. Besides going on shows, I’m generally at home."

Sun Yueqing looked at him, still somewhat lethargically sighed, "Okay, when I wrap up my parts and return to Beijing, I’ll look for you to have a meal."

She thought that the next time she would see Wu Mu would be after she finished her own parts.

The rest of the crew also thought that once Wu Mu wrapped up, he would fly back to Beijing right away to rest or appear on other shows.

But...

The next morning at ten o’clock sharp, Wu Mu arrived at the set on time.

The previously reluctant Sun Yueqing was taken aback for a moment and then looked at him somewhat speechlessly, "You’ve already wrapped up your parts, why are you still coming to the set?"

When he previously came to the set without any parts to film, she could say it was because he was dedicated, coming early to get into the right state of mind.

Although the way he got into the right state of mind seemed a bit strange, it was somewhat understandable.

But now that he had wrapped up his parts, why still come?

Was he really that idle? Didn’t he have any engagements to attend to?

And was hanging around the set that comfortable?

Hmm... Sun Yueqing thought about how this ’loyal dog’ friend of hers behaved on set.

Coming early around ten in the morning, leaving at six in the afternoon, and whenever he arrived, just lounging in a chair and occasionally going out for a stroll, wandering around...

It did seem pretty comfortable.

Sun Yueqing was speechless, but Wu Mu faced her with an immediate frown, "Mind how you speak to me, remember your position!"

Ah?

Sun Yueqing was taken aback, looking at him blankly.

Wu Mu remained serious, "Don’t you know that I’m not just actor Wu Mu now? I’m the lead investor, Wu Mu, here to supervise your work. Address me by my title at work!"

Sun Yueqing: "...."

She really wanted to punch this damn dog, sometimes he was really irritating.

Wu Mu grinned, "With such a large investment, of course I need to supervise your work to be reassured. If anyone slacks off later, I’ll deduct from your pay."

Sun Yueqing was quite exasperated, "Are you telling me that as an investor you get no benefits and you still want to deduct my pay?"

Of course, that was just a joke. Wu Mu came to the set indeed to continue earning system points.

His parts might have wrapped up, but the rest of the crew hadn’t yet, so he could still get points for being there.

So until he found the next high-points project, he might as well keep mooching off this one.

Wu Mu lay down in the lounge area, in the chair he often occupied, continuing to slack off and collect points.

Sun Yueqing sat beside him, looking at him like this, and couldn’t help but laugh. Turns out she felt sad yesterday for no reason.

The others were also somewhat speechless about his coming to the set to ’clock in’ even after wrapping up.

But Yang Rongfa was very considerate and changed his mode of address according to Wu Mu’s words.

"President Wu."

He found Wu Mu and after some thought, asked, "Do you have any thoughts on the promotion strategy for the series after it’s finished, President Wu?"

Normally, he wouldn’t really need to consult Wu Mu regarding the promotional work of the series.

After all, even though Wu Mu was the leading investor and the project was mainly funded by him, the primary control still lay with their company.

When they made the investment, the contract had specifically agreed that except for major issues that greatly affected investment returns, Wu Mu couldn’t interfere with their ownership over the series.

Wu Mu just needed to invest and wait for his dividend.

However, investor Wu Mu was indeed a bit different. His personality aside, his popularity was high, and they could take his opinions as a reference.

Naturally, Wu Mu had thoughts on the matter. He asked directly, "Approximately when will the shooting be completed, and how long will the overall production take?"

"Filming should wrap up by the end of this month, and then we’ll work on post-production. Since there are only a dozen episodes and not many special effects, it should take around two months or so. If we rush it, we can even push it forward, but we can’t be certain how long the censor board will take to approve it. According to our forecast, it should be able to go online before the end of the year."

Online before the end of the year?

So excluding the censorship review time, it would take about two or three months?

Wu Mu pondered for a while, then spoke up, "I plan to release an album of the series’ original soundtrack in advance, combined with commemorating my previous fame, to boost the series’ popularity with this album."

It was something he had considered for a long time, but it was the first time he was discussing it with Yang Rongfa and his team.

Yang Rongfa was pleasantly surprised after a moment of shock.

Releasing an album with the series’ name before the series itself?

This was definitely great news for the series’ popularity.

Ever since Wu Mu made his comeback, his popularity had been soaring, and he had left behind many legendary live singing performances.

Everyone was curious about what his first album post-comeback would be like.

There’s always been talk online about Wu Mu’s singing being top-tier among singers. It was just that there wasn’t a clear iconic event to prove it yet.

As for the album he would release under such circumstances, never mind sales; the buzz was surely going to be through the roof.
