Chapter 189 New Program Contact Wu Mu’s condition is not aimed at points, at least not mainly for points. He plans to wait until the series is finished, then sell the movie soundtrack like an album, and then use performance cards on the album. This may boost the popularity of the series and increase the selling price of the series later. Besides, as a singer, it would be embarrassing for him not to release an album, so he might as well take this opportunity to release one. As for why he didn't use the performance card on the drama itself, he didn't invest in the film in full, and the investment he made now would only account for a little over one-third of the total. Using the performance card for such a project would be like using his own props to make money for others. Wu Mu regarded this as one of the main requirements, and Yang Rongfa was relieved when he heard it. That's it. It was just the revenue from a soundtrack album, which was nothing more than a drop in the bucket in his eyes. None of this is worth mentioning specifically. According to the current situation in the industry, if a soundtrack album of a project can sell a few thousand, it is already considered top-notch, and usually a few million is just icing on the cake. He also didn't expect that Wu Mu planned to exchange the soundtrack album for a performance card.
In addition to Wu Mu's two points, there are some other details. Although Yang Rongfa has not yet decided whether to use Wu Mu's investment, he has asked about them all. For example, Wu Mu’s salary, if he plays the second male lead, the package price would be 10 million. It can be said that it is much lower than Zhou Yu's pay, mainly because Yang Rong felt that Wu Mu's commercial value was not as good as Zhou Yu's. However, he promised to let Wu Mu use his investment share to offset the 10 million. As for the price of Wu Mu's composition and singing, two solutions were given. One was to calculate based on the originally agreed composition and singing fee of two million per song, and the other was to reduce the price to one and a half million, which could also be offset against the investment share. After asking for all the details and having a meal together, Yang Rongfa and Wang Ren left. Wu Mu was not sure whether Yang Rongfa and others would accept his investment, but it didn't matter. If they didn't, he would just wait for future projects. It was a matter of mutual consent, and he would not force anyone. If given a choice, Yang Rongfa naturally did not want to accept Wu Mu's investment. In his opinion, Wu Mu's investment has too low cost-effectiveness. So after leaving, he immediately contacted other people to see if he could get other investments. Well, the first company he contacted was Zhou Yu’s company, and he didn’t hide anything at all. He directly told him that Wu Mu contacted him and wanted to get rid of Zhou Yu. "Wu Mu wants to invest in this movie and also wants to play the role of Wang Chuang?" Zhou Yu's agent was stunned when he received the news. Zhou Yu looked disdainful, "With his acting skills, he can act like this. When he plays with Cui Fu and the others, he will be crushed. Isn't he afraid of losing face?" His agent quite agrees with this point. Wu Mu's acting skills are indeed not comparable to those of veteran actors like Cui Fu. Not to mention these veteran actors, he can't even compare with Sun Yueqing. A long time ago, in a drama that Wu Mu and Sun Yueqing collaborated on, Wu Mu's performance was obviously crushed by Sun Yueqing. He was criticized a lot at the time, saying that his acting skills were not good and that it was his pure weakness. He had to rely on his fans to flatter him and say things like "my brother has worked very hard" to save his face. "Wu Mu still dares to fight for a role in this kind of drama? This drama is much more difficult than his previous ones." The agent couldn't understand. If it was a project that had nothing to do with them, he would definitely be happy to watch the fun, waiting for Wu Mu to make a fool of himself, and then give Zhou Yu as compensation. But this project was very promising for their company, aiming to consolidate Zhou Yu's acting talent, so as soon as Wang Ren got wind of it, they immediately took the initiative to approach him, and were even willing to use Penguin's resources for this. But if they want to compete for this project, judging from Yang Rongfa's attitude, it is obvious that their company needs to invest or help him attract other investors.
This is obviously not cost-effective. After all, this project doesn't seem to have much money to spend, and it's not worth it to invest money in it. "Oh, what the hell is this? How did it turn out like this?" The agent was in a dilemma. Although the final decision was not in his hands and he had to report it to the company for a decision, he still had to have his own ideas and inclinations when reporting it. After all, this is all the fault of that stupid investor. He was arrested because of a video. If he hadn't been arrested, none of this would have happened at all. When Li Hu was causing trouble for Wu Mu before, they were watching the fun with gloating, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the investor would be ruined, and the project they were optimistic about would also be ruined. This time it was really like the evil person he had said before, and they became the unlucky ones. The agent was hesitant, but Zhou Yu didn't care. "If he wants to act, let him act. Let's see how he gets scolded. He still has investment, so he won't lose money." Yang Rongfa was looking for investors everywhere, and he even unceremoniously brought Wu Mu out to increase his bargaining chips. On the iQiyi platform, the production team of the "Idol Daily" program is also discussing which celebrity to invite to the next episode. "Idol Daily Life" is an online variety show produced solely by the iQiyi platform. You can tell what the program is about by just listening to the name. It is about filming the daily lives of celebrities. The format of the program is to follow and live-stream a celebrity's 24-hour life. Originally, iQiyi did not take this program very seriously when it was launched. They just treated it as a dessert-level variety show to fill the program list of their platform, and did not expect it to achieve much success at all. But after the show was broadcast, it was unexpectedly popular. The show's live broadcast and the lack of any scripts seemed to have touched the hearts of many viewers. Many people especially like to come in and see how celebrities live their daily lives when they have nothing to do. Especially when those interesting and well-known stars appear on the show, the popularity is no less than those first-tier online variety shows. Therefore, who is chosen to be on the show will have a great impact on the popularity of the show. "How about inviting Lu Yao? I think everyone is curious about her daily life." Pan Mingxuan, one of the directors, suggested. Lu Yao? This candidate is quite good. Although Lu Yao is not the most popular among the new generation, she is the most likable one because of her special personality. Inviting her to the show should generate quite a bit of popularity. but. Director Yang Chen shook his head. "Lu Yao doesn't have any schedule recently, so Longing for Life invited her to be a guest." "What about Zhao Xue? She doesn't seem to be on the show recently?" "No, she's gone to make a movie." In the conference room, the director mentioned names one by one, but these names either had no schedule or were not good enough. The producer thought about it and said a name, "You can ask Wu Mu to try. He should be free recently." (End of this chapter)
