Chapter 282 Who is the heroine?
This vote and hot search officially announced that Wu Mu has returned to the top level.
Although Wu Mu didn't care much about this kind of status and ranking, his friends seemed to care about it quite a lot.
Everyone sent him blessing messages.
He had dozens of blessing messages on WeChat, and he dealt with them one by one.
Sun Yueqing sent him a video with a cover showing a man with a sleek bowl-cut hairdo holding a flower basket.
He clicked it out of curiosity.
Then I watched the man with the pot-covered haircut maintain an expressionless face as he reached out to grab the petals from the flower basket and sprinkled some on the left and right:
"Congratulations to Brother Wu Mu for returning to the top, Brother Wu Mu is awesome, Brother Wu Mu is awesome!"
Wu Mu: “.”
You're playing with abstraction, right?
Sun Yueqing: "Are you happy? I spent over 200 yuan on Taobao to record this. She is an internet celebrity."
Wu Mu: "If you send the two hundred dollars directly to me, I will be happier and can record a video for you."
Sun Yueqing: “[Red Envelope]”
Wu Mu clicked to receive it, and it was indeed a red envelope of 200 yuan. He kept his word, put his phone on the table, and started recording, "Congratulations to Sister Sun Yueqing for winning the third place on the top list. Sister Sun Yueqing is amazing, Sister Sun Yueqing is amazing!"
Sun Yueqing was obviously laughing so hard that she vomited. She didn't even bother typing and directly sent a voice message, "Hahahaha, I'm going to save this video, and when you win the grand prize, I'll play it on stage."
After she finished laughing, she didn't forget, "What a shabby list! Why would you put me behind you? Your Weibo followers are not even a fraction of mine! And who is your sister? I'm one year younger than you!"
Wu Mu: "Then it's Sister Sun Yueqing. This shows that the public has sharp eyes. The data generated by the Internet trolls has no credibility."
Sun Yueqing: "Hehe, I'll let you be proud for two days. After this storm, you will know that the veteran top-tier masters cannot be insulted lightly! You are just a top-tier junior who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. There is still a long way to go. There are national realms, superstar realms, Japanese and Korean superstar realms, and global superstar realms waiting for you!"
Wu Mu laughed: "Do you think this is a fantasy novel?"
Sun Yueqing: "Haha, I recently took on a supporting role in a fantasy drama, and I've been reading the original novel every day these past two days."
After replying to Sun Yueqing, Wu Mu continued to read messages from other friends.
Mo Mo also sent a video.
Isn't it also playing with abstraction?
Wu Mu clicked it out of curiosity.
As it turns out, Xiao Mo is much more serious.
Clicking on the video, it was a video of Mo Mo filming herself. She was sitting in front of a piano, waving at the camera somewhat embarrassedly:
"Congratulations to Mr. Wu Mu for returning to the top. Here is a new song of blessing for Mr. Wu Mu."
After taking a deep breath, she placed her fingers on the piano keys and played slowly: "The wind of time blows slowly, and stories travel through time. Those songs in the old times sing our persistence."
Wu Mu listened quietly. The lyrics of this song were indeed a blessing, but.
Wu Mu: "Fortunately I left first, otherwise I would definitely lose to Teacher Mo Mo next time. But why does the melody of this song sound a bit sad?"
Just like the song "Let's Row the Boat" on Earth in the previous life, the lyrics are beautiful, but the melody is sad.
Mo Mo replied immediately, "Teacher Wu Mu, you heard wrong! Hehe, I think my piano playing is not that good. I just learned it from you these few days."
Misheard?
How could you have heard it wrong when it was so obvious?
Wu Mu muttered in his heart, but he saw that Mo Mo wanted to change the subject, so he didn't ask any more questions. "Haha, it's okay, we are the same."
After chatting with Mo Mo for a while, he continued to reply to others.
Lin Qingyue: "I have to go back at 7 o'clock today. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."
Lu Yao: "Xiao Wu is so awesome, Xiao Wu is so awesome!"
Su Meng: "Congratulations on making further progress in your career."
Yang Rongfa: "Thank you Mr. Wu Mu for your great help to our series. Without Mr. Wu Mu, our series would never have been sold at this price. Mr. Wu Mu deserves to be back on top."
Wu Mu replied one by one.
After replying to my friends, I still have things to deal with at the company.
People in the circle seem to take his return to the top very seriously. As soon as this trending search came out, a lot of endorsement invitations and program invitations came to him.
Moreover, the prices have all been raised a lot compared to before. His previous endorsement fee was about 28 million for two years, but now those who come to him to quote prices basically raise it to 35 million.
The price of program invitations has also increased, and the price for one episode is about million.
Moreover, TV series and movie projects that no one had looked for before suddenly popped up.
Several production companies handed him their scripts and were willing to pay for them. The highest offer was 80 million yuan. Although it was still a bit short of the original price, it was still a sky-high price.
That's the quality of this book.
"Fire station chief Song He and emergency doctor Xu Yuan meet again after ten years of separation. The two were forced to separate due to family opposition in their youth. When they meet again, both of them have grown and changed a lot."
The story of a firefighter and an emergency doctor falling in love. It's a terrible show at first glance!
Wu Mu shook his head. Although he was not afraid of being scolded, he did not want to ruin his reputation by making such rubbish.
"Reject all TV series and movie projects for now. Wait until I finish this period before looking at them," he reminded Shi Wu.
He also plans to continue to get good scripts and start his own projects.
And I don’t have time to take on these projects right now.
Lin Qingyue’s new movie is almost ready for production and they’re about to start filming.
On the third day after returning to the top spot, Lin Qingyue's movie was finally completed and was ready to start shooting.
The other actors have already started to join the crew, and Wu Mu is also packing up and preparing to join the crew.
Shi Wu and Shu Mei originally wanted to follow, but Wu Mu took into consideration that the early stages of the film were being shot in Beijing, although it was in the suburbs, it was still a two or three hour drive away.
But it’s not troublesome to go back and forth, and there’s no need to bring so many people. You can just greet them whenever you need anything.
So I brought my own stuff into the group.
The crew's residence is a hotel that looks quite old.
Wu Mu looked at the slightly shabby hotel and Lin Qingyue standing in front of the hotel waiting to greet him, and said with a smile, "Director Lin, our crew is too poor. After all, you are a well-known director, but you live in a place like this."
Lin Qingyue looked at him with amusement, "You are slandering me. How dare we neglect you, the top star, when you come here? This is already the best hotel nearby. A better one would take half an hour to get there."
Wu Mu laughed, "I signed the contract too early. If I signed it now, you would have to pay at least one or two million more."
"It's too late to regret now."
"Come on, I'll take you to put your stuff away and meet the rest of the crew."
Lin Qingyue's crew was not large. After all, it was just a low-budget art film. The actors and all the staff were only about 40 to 50 people.
After Lin Qingyue helped Wu Mu put away his things, she pulled him in front of a middle-aged woman who was about 40 or 50 years old and wore gold-rimmed glasses.
But Wu Mu certainly knew this person, so he smiled and said, "Sister Yan, thank you for the previous episode. We will transfer the production fee to you at the end of the month."
This was the producer Yan Yongmei whom Lin Qingyue had introduced to him before. Yan Yongmei also served as the producer of Yang Rongfa's TV series for him, helping him to keep an eye on the flow of funds. Shi Wu was also introduced to him by Yan Yongmei.
Yan Yongmei still maintained her previous habit of reporting via WeChat chat and said politely, "Mr. Wu."
However, although her attitude remained the same as before, she couldn't help but value Wu Mu a little more in her heart.
After all, it’s million. Even though Lin Xueming is an internationally renowned director, he may not be able to earn million in a year.
The movie box office is a big hit, and with all the other factors, it is possible to barely reach this number. "This is our assistant director, Brother Feng." Lin Qingyue continued to introduce.
Wu Mu also knew this person. He had attended his house for dinner once as Lin Qingyue's friend a long time ago, but he only came that once and never saw him again.
This man was called Feng Shang, also in his forties or fifties, with a bitter look on his face.
His personality is similar to Wang Ren's. He doesn't like to talk much. He just nodded at Wu Mu and said, "Wu Mu."
"This is the main photographer, Lou Ziwen."
The middle-aged man with dark skin and a round hat likes to talk. "Welcome, welcome. We finally got our leading actor. I've been dreaming about it recently. It would be great if I could shoot the scene in Wang Ren's movie."
"This is Liu Miao, the actress who plays the second female lead. She didn't have any scenes in the beginning, but she's also with the crew."
The girl with the flowery braids and a somewhat rustic look was extremely nervous, especially when her eyes met Wu Mu's face. She didn't even know where to put her hands before she could say anything. "Hello, hello."
Wu Mu laughed out loud, "Hello, too."
After Lin Qingyue finished introducing these main creators, Wu Mu waited for two seconds. Seeing that Lin Qingyue did not continue to take him to meet people, he was slightly puzzled.
"Director Lin, is there someone missing?"
Lin Qingyue asked him, "Who is missing?"
"The actress who plays the female lead hasn't joined the crew yet?"
We have the second female lead, but what about the first female lead?
"Here he comes."
"Where?" Wu Mu looked around and began to feel that something was wrong.
"In front of you."
Lin Qingyue looked at him with a smile.
Wu Mu: “.”
Wu Mu sighed helplessly and laughed, "Director Lin, you play the leading female role yourself."
Lin Qingyue nodded. "Although this role is the female lead, she only exists as a background most of the time. It's not too difficult, so it won't be a big problem for me to play it."
Is this the point?
Wu Mu looked at Lin Qingyue in front of him with amusement, and after thinking about it, he simply said, "Director Lin, you should not have forgotten that the leading actress and the leading actor have a kissing scene in the movie, right?"
"I haven't forgotten." Lin Qingyue looked at him with a smile, "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
What do you think I am afraid of?
Wu Mu looked at Lin Qingyue helplessly.
Okay, it’s your movie, you have the final say.
After getting to know all the main creators and having dinner together at a nearby restaurant in the evening, Wu Mu prepared to go home.
But at a good moment at the entrance of the hotel, Lin Qingyue called him, "Wu Mu, go out for a walk."
Wu Mu looked at the deserted streets around him at night, thought about it, and nodded, "Okay."
"You guys go back first, Wu Mu and I will walk back." After saying hello to the other members of the crew, Lin Qingyue and Wu Mu started walking back.
This month, the weather in the capital has slowly begun to enter winter and become colder.
After tightening her clothes, Lin Qingyue smiled and said, "Luckily there aren't many people here, so we can still go out for a walk. Otherwise, if we were walking together in the city, we would probably be surrounded immediately."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Wu Mu shook his head.
"I go out quite often myself. If I disguise myself a little, not many people will stare at me. Not long ago, I went to a robot conference with Liang Fang and others, and not many people noticed me."
"Liang Fang?" Lin Qingyue thought about it and was a little confused. "From the earlier issue of Celebrity Agency?"
"Yes, Jiang Qian's roommate."
"Are you still in touch with them?"
"Yes, we often chat on WeChat. They came to Beijing not long ago and stayed at Su Meng's place. Then they came to see me. We went to the World Robot Conference together. Jiang Qian, Xu Tingting, and Su Meng were all there."
I still keep in touch with a few strangers I met on the show a long time ago, and we can still go out together.
It is obviously unimaginable to apply this to other stars, but it does not feel out of place at all when applied to Wu Mu.
Lin Qingyue smiled, "I remember that Jiang Qian had a crush on you, didn't she pursue you?"
Wu Mu looked at Lin Qingyue with amusement.
Director Lin, stop pulling.
Wu Mu didn't answer and changed the subject directly, "By the way, Director Lin, is the name of our movie "Parting"? "
Lin Qingyue nodded, "Well, "Letter, Sakura, Farewell" feels too long."
“Is this a story about separation?”
Wu Mu wanted to analyze Lin Qingyue's thoughts based on the name.
Lin Qingyue looked at him and didn't answer directly, but asked in return, "You said before that you couldn't understand this story. After you went back and read the script and the novel, do you understand it now?"
When visiting Lin Qingyue's school before, Lin Qingyue briefly told him the story. At that time, Wu Mu felt that the story was too simple and he couldn't understand what Lin Qingyue wanted to film.
After returning, Wu Mu read the original novel and later received Lin Qingyue's script, in which the scenes were more detailed.
Now Wu Mu roughly understood the story, but he still didn't quite understand what the film was about and what the theme was.
Wu Mu said honestly, "I still don't quite understand it. Some of it feels a bit too stream-of-consciousness. I don't know what you want to shoot specifically."
"That's it."
Lin Qingyue propped up her chin with the hand wrapped in her sleeve, and then waved her hand generously, "It's okay, we can discuss it again if you can't perform it by then."
"That's not the case. I should be able to play the role well."
"Huh? So confident?"
Lin Qingyue looked at Wu Mu strangely.
of course.
The subject matter is a bit vague, but do you think my natural talent as an actor is fake?
Wu Mu was chuckling in his heart.
Natural talent as an actor is not only useful when performing.
It can also be used during the preparation stage before the performance. Now that he has top-level talent, he can naturally understand and perceive every detail in the script.
This was a talent he acquired after joining the team, so I just let it go without any time to analyze and study it.
This time it's so far in advance, if he spends a little more time on making a brief biography of the character and breaking down and analyzing the scenes and actions in detail, it will be enough for him to perform it when the time comes.
