Chapter 331: Chapter 279: Could This Be Wu Mu’s Acting!?

The online sentiment was better than expected.

But there were still some refunds.

After the Tencent Platform opened the refund channel,

There were about three hundred thousand refunds.

Three hundred thousand refunds?

Shi Wu hesitated for a moment, "Is that supposed to be okay...?"

He had spent the previous day overseeing the progress of Wang Ren’s project and wasn’t present when Wu Mu posted on Weibo.

By the time he learned about it, it almost felt as if the sky had fallen.

He had worried somewhat that it would cause a wave of refunds.

But it turned out to be only around three hundred thousand?

For other musicians, this might be unbearable, but with Wu Mu’s current sales...

Today was the third day the album had officially been on sale, and Wu Mu’s sales on the Tencent Platform had reached five million eight hundred thousand.

Even after refunding three hundred thousand, there were still five million five hundred thousand left; this was a mere trifle.

Shu Mei was somewhat puzzled, "Why so few?"

She had been concerned about provoking widespread fan protests and a refund trend, but this was it?

Well, it would be attributed to fans getting washed too much.

Those who are still fans nowadays, as long as his music wasn’t disastrous, as long as his looks and personality held up...just grin and bear it, right?

Moreover, the main portion of the sales composition for Wu Mu’s new album still came from the Profit Card users, who wouldn’t consider a refund at all.

With no chatter amongst the main crowd, how could there be a wave of refunds?

Having filtered out three hundred thousand refunds, Wu Mu nodded in satisfaction, thinking that this must have weeded out a considerable number of troublesome fans.

Those remaining who still want to support, well, I’ll just assume you’ve accepted my "disclaimer."

Shi Wu, resigned that nothing would change even if his boss had been present and couldn’t do much about it, turned to the matter he had been busy with these past few days:

"Boss, Yang Rongfa and his team have cut an initial version of the drama series, and they want to take advantage of your new album’s high popularity to organize a small screening."

...

Yang Rongfa never dreamed that Wu Mu’s new album, which he had initially hoped for and then completely gave up on promoting once he heard Wu Mu would not be doing so, would bring such a pleasant surprise.

Five million five hundred thousand copies sold in just three days on a single platform!

Wouldn’t it sell eight or nine million copies over the entire period across all platforms?

How much traffic could this bring to their drama series?

How could anyone resist riding on such popularity?

Thus, upon noticing the real momentum of Wu Mu’s new album pre-orders, he had rushed to get an initial version of the series cut.

Then, taking advantage of the album’s release heat, he immediately invited executives from various major film and television platforms to the screening.

Confident in the quality of their own series, and the explosive moments brought by Wu Mu’s acting, they also invited some industry media magazines, and influential social media bloggers and film critics, to stir up excitement, serving as the lead in the laughter when the time came.

November 5th, morning.

Inside Yang Rongfa company’s medium-sized screening room.

Fu Wenchuan took his seat and quietly observed the surroundings.

"There are quite a few people, at least sixty or seventy."

He thought to himself.

As the editor-in-chief of "Public Entertainment," one of the top circulating entertainment magazines within the industry, they were naturally included in the invitation list.

However, he also understood that this screening was mainly prepared for film and television platforms, because, after all, those who wield pens are not as important as the investors who put in real money.

He had already noticed that those sitting in the front row of the screening room were mostly from film and television platforms.

Tencent Video, iQiyi, Youku...

"Eh, Douyin and Bilibili representatives? What are they doing here?"

Fu Wenchuan’s gaze paused, and he felt surprised; one platform was known for short videos and the other for medium-length videos— were they also considering purchasing the series?

But as surprised as he was, he still took note of it internally.

It was good material, after all; if later on he needed to write a piece about the series being sought after, this could serve as corroboration.

In fact, in his opinion, there was quite a lot to write about Yang Rongfa’s series.

The topic of Wang Ren turning to drama series after consecutively losing money on several movies was newsworthy.

The fact that Wu Mu had invested in the production, holding more than half of the shares, whether it would be profitable or a loss, and if profitable, whether it would become a new capital force, was also newsworthy.

Wu Mu’s self-titled album’s exaggerated sales, making the series a hit before its broadcast, was even more noteworthy.

The turnaround of Wu Mu’s popularity after the collapse...

"I wonder how Wu Mu’s acting will be; didn’t Cui Fu say that his performance was very impressive?"

"Right, not sure if it’s just mutual commercial flattery."

Wu Mu’s acting?

That’s not something to write about!

Not only was it lacking in heat, but considering this kind of thing... and as an editor from "Public Entertainment," Fu Wenchuan felt a tad skeptical having been successfully fed hype by Wu Mu several times previously.

Fu Wenchuan glanced at the speakers; they were two young people sitting diagonally behind him.

He didn’t recognize their faces, but from the badges hanging on their chests, he knew they were influential social media bloggers online.

Fu Wenchuan awaited the screening of the new film, but even before the screening started, there was a noise from outside.

He, along with everyone else in the room, turned to look, only to see an extremely eye-catching person, surrounded by a few others, entering from the doorway.

"Wu Mu?"

"He’s here, too?"

Whispers suddenly filled the screening room.

Many were seeing Wu Mu in person for the first time.

Fu Wenchuan was also seeing him for the first time and assessed the newcomer’s appearance, finding that he was just as distinctive as the images online.
