Chapter 315: Chapter 272: Ah, Am I Going to Be Disqualified Again?

761,200!

This was the pre-order figure for Wu Mu’s new album.

It could already be considered an exaggeratedly high number.

Compared with the figures from Earth, only Mr. Zhou had achieved this.

Before the official release of Mr. Zhou’s "Greatest Work," the pre-orders were over eight million.

But that was after a gap of six or seven years since his last album, and it also ignited a media frenzy.

On the Blue Star Hua Country side, only a few singers had ever achieved such numbers, and that too after starting promotions half a year in advance and constantly running promotional events.

If it weren’t for the system Profit Card secretly helping him heat up and guide the process, let alone him without any promotion, even he with relentless promotions would never reach these numbers.

After all, his own popularity was still far from the level of Earth’s Mr. Zhou.

But...

"Pre-orders of 7.6 million, still a long way from fulfilling the Profit Card’s target."

Wu Mu muttered to himself.

According to his own estimate, his new album would need to sell close to ten million copies to fully redeem the Profit Card.

And for sales of ten million copies, there should be at least fifteen or sixteen million pre-orders.

"Atong’s heating up is way too slow, is he even working hard?"

He thought to himself, feeling that achieving such numbers before the official release seemed unlikely.

The system would probably continue to boost the heat after the album’s official release since the release was only about ten days away.

Wu Mu briefly checked and didn’t take it too seriously, since the redemption would happen sooner or later anyway.

Shu Mei by his side was unaware of his projection of tens of millions of sales and optimistically thought, "With these pre-order numbers, the boss’s new album is guaranteed a minimum of four million copies! Selling five or six million copies in one or two years is also very likely!"

"A new album with a sales of five million copies will solidify the boss’s position as a top-tier singer! And once Director Wang’s drama is released, it can clear the boss’s reputation of poor acting. Then, the boss will definitely receive many offers for dramas, and his popularity and status will return to the top..."

"Acting, singing, influencer status all flourishing!"

Shu Mei joyfully said.

Brother is truly amazing!

An all-round super artist!

Shi Wu added from the side, "And we should include the film industry."

He turned to Wu Mu, "Boss, Director Lin contacted the company this morning. She said her new film project is ready, and she’s inviting you to be the lead actor. They’re asking for a quote."

Wu Mu was startled, he of course knew about Lin Qingyue’s new film, as it had been mentioned several times.

It’s ready?

But why didn’t she mention it directly when they came back together yesterday?

Wu Mu pondered for a moment and soon understood Lin Qingyue’s intentions.

He thought for a moment and asked Shi Wu, "Brother Wu, what do you think is an appropriate quote?"

Shi Wu hesitated and then said, "I’ve checked, their total investment for this film is probably just over ten million. Director Lin is financing part of it herself, with her family and the company backing her up. It’s a medium-length film of around fifty minutes, probably taking two to three months to shoot... If we set the price, anything over three million, they probably won’t be able to pay, so I recommend around 2.8 million."

2.8 million was undoubtedly not a very high price.

For Wang Ren’s project earlier, which also involved two to three months of shooting, he was paid ten million.

And that was for a major supporting role; if it were a leading role, it probably would have been around fourteen or fifteen million, especially since his popularity had risen.

Sixteen or seventeen million was probably his current reasonable pay for a commercial film.

But art films and commercial films are ultimately different concepts.

Shi Wu, worried that Wu Mu might think he was siding with Lin Qingyue, explained, "Art films generally halve the quotes of commercial films, and it’s also largely up to the individual’s willingness; it’s common to reduce pay for roles."

"I recommend that you take this film at a reduced pay, boss. I think this film has a chance at winning awards. I’ve seen the script for her new film and it really suits her filming style. I can’t guarantee an award, but it’s definitely a hot contender.

"And if it wins, it would be very beneficial for you as the lead actor! Even if you get nominated for something like Best Lead Actor, it would be a huge boost for your film career!"

Shi Wu earnestly advised.

Because the various major awards haven’t been excluding Hua Country or been selective towards self-critical films, the awards still hold significant value.

If Wu Mu could win an award, that would indeed be an advantageous beginning; it would truly mean blossoming in movies, music, and popularity.

Even Zhou Yu, currently one of the most hyped film and television top idols, had never received any major acting awards or nominations.

Even Sun Yueqing, who was often considered talented in acting, had only received some domestic awards and not a single nomination for any international A-level awards.

If he could win an award, or even a nomination, it would instantly elevate him above other popular young idols and actresses in terms of influence.

But whether he could actually win an award wasn’t something Wu Mu took to heart.

The pay was also not a big concern, millions or tens of millions was just trivial to him at this point.

What he cared about was something else.

Wu Mu nodded, signaling that he understood, then took out his phone and called Lin Qingyue’s side.
