Chapter 295: Chapter 262 Chat

"I said I wouldn’t leave until I was drunk, and I really meant it."

At the main table, except for Yang Rongfa who obviously still had some control, everyone else had let loose and were drinking as if to vent the pressure of the past half year.

Even the usually silent and reserved Director Wang Ren had downed nearly half a bottle of the strong stuff.

He was clearly tipsy, his body swaying slightly.

He held up his glass, looking at everyone at the main table, "I’m grateful for everyone’s support over the last half year, especially Rongfa. Everyone outside talks about our company’s core being me, Wang Ren...

But I, Wang Ren, am nothing, Rongfa is the true core. Our company could survive without me, but without Rongfa, we would have to close our doors immediately. Of course, we’re brothers in this life and don’t need to say this.

And Mu, I’m especially thankful that he was willing to invest in me. Mu, this is it! This is truly living with a soul; I really admire him..."

Mu, watching Wang Ren become increasingly excited and gesticulating as he talked, muttered in a low voice, "Has Director Wang gone drunk and crazy?"

Sun Yueqing next to him was also quite drunk, her face flushed and her eyes unfocused.

Hearing Mu’s comment, she paused for half a second before she realized and mumbled softly, "It’s also my first time acting in his film."

Once the honest types start their drunken tirades, it can be relentless.

"Before I made this movie, many said to me, ’Wang Ren, you idiot, it’s over. You’ve made two films that lost money back-to-back, no awards, and just criticism online that it’s incomprehensible...’ The real idiots are those who say that, you know? Do I make films to win awards? I just want to make what I want to! And the audience, they’re all idiots too! If you don’t understand it, then don’t watch it, do I need your eyes?"

"Good! Well said!"

"The audience are all idiots!"

...Mu, one of the uncomprehending audience members, felt speechless, feeling personally addressed.

Yang Rongfa stepped in to defuse the situation, "Alright, that’s enough drinking for now. Let’s wrap things up for today, and for those who haven’t drunk too much, help look after those who can’t stand. Old Qian, you take Sun Chen home; Brother Cui, leave your car here and later, take the company car back."

It was about time to end things.

Sun Yueqing wobbled as she stood up.

Her assistant and agent, who had been waiting at a neighboring table, hurried over to support her.

But she waved them off and instead reached out to Mu, looking at him with slightly bleary eyes.

Mu chuckled, "You sure put on airs, needing me to be your assistant, huh."

But as much as he said that, he still helped Sun Yueqing to her feet and steadied her.

As Yang Rongfa was making arrangements, he found the time to come over to Mu.

He looked at Sun Yueqing, who was leaning on Mu’s arm, "Trouble you, Teacher Mu, to take Sun Yueqing home."

After giving instructions, he turned to other matters, "Teacher Mu, once the shoot is completed, we will quickly go into post-production and then submit it for approval. We’ll likely cut a portion of it first, and once your new album officially releases, we’ll organize a screening to gauge the reaction from various platforms."

Mu nodded, "You arrange it, Mr. Yang."

Yang Rongfa also seemed a bit sentimental, jokingly said, "Whether our company goes bankrupt or not may now depend on Teacher Mu. Although Ah Ren’s words were a bit rough earlier, the logic behind them was solid. After ’Phantom City,’ we found no one willing to invest in our movie projects anymore, and we could only try to pivot to producing series to stop the bleeding."

"It should be well received." I’ve invested so much money, and I have the Performance Card to help boost popularity. If the response isn’t good, I’ll be at a huge loss.

And to be honest, although I don’t understand Wang Ren’s arthouse films, this series is truly well made.

I often hung around behind the monitor during the shoot, looking on with interest. Even if I haven’t seen the whole thing, I could still discern some of the subtleties.

Wang Ren’s camera work has a very real texture, clean and precise, really good at highlighting the focal points he wants to express.

Every shot has something that grabs your attention, never a moment that feels dull or boring.

With this kind of filmmaking foundation, it’s already a significant plus for the series.

Mu felt, Wang Ren himself is unquestionably strong in his craft.

It’s just that he’s a bit of an artist at heart, always wanting to make those things he’s passionate about.

If he had a good script, one that fits his style, I think Wang Ren would have no problem bringing it to life.

Hmm.

If I get a script with the right style in the future, maybe I could engage Wang Ren to direct.

Mu mused to himself.

There will definitely be more scripts coming from the System Treasure Chest in the future, and as a complete novice director, I won’t be directing them myself, so I’ll still need to find people to do it.

If I could get someone with the skills of Wang Ren, that would undoubtedly be much more reassuring.

Plus, if I use the Profit Card, even the high cost of Wang Ren’s filming wouldn’t matter, since the Profit Card would cover the production costs.

As his thoughts flashed through his mind, his face betrayed nothing.

After chatting with Yang Rongfa about production arrangements for a bit longer, he supported Sun Yueqing and walked out the door.

Outside, the sky had completely darkened; it was already past midnight.

Aside from the liveliness at the entrance of the restaurant they were dining at, everywhere else was silent.

Sun Yueqing’s assistant brought the car to the restaurant entrance.

Just as Mu was about to help Sun Yueqing walk over, she mumbled in a daze, "Let’s take a walk after going back to sober up."
