This is an extremely high-end five-star hotel in the entire Dragon Kingdom. The most upscale Liuyun Hall in the hotel was booked today.
There were many people in Liuyun Hall, and a banner hung above the innermost part, which read "The celebration party for "Endless Glory" with a box office of over 1 billion!".
To be honest, when this movie was first planned, no one thought that a movie with an investment of less than 50 million would become such a hit.
Everyone related to the film was present, including the film's producer representatives, investors, theaters, directors, first- and second-time actors, etc.
At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on one of the young people at the top of the round table, because this person is the director and screenwriter of "Endless Glory": Shen Mu!
Everyone knows that the success of this movie is inseparable from this young director who has just graduated from school. He is today's protagonist.
It's just like movies, no one would have thought that a young director who had just graduated, writing and directing his first movie, would be able to achieve such success.
This boy’s future is limitless!
"Director Shen, let me toast you!"
A tall and handsome young man stood up. He was the leading actor of endless glory. The gratitude on his face was beyond words, and he could not control his excitement.
This actor named Jiang Chao was not even considered a second-tier actor in the industry. He had made many movies, but he only hovered between the third-tier and second-tier actors.
How could Jiang Chao not be excited when he thought that the explosion of endless glory could secure his position at the forefront of the second line, and even have the hope of reaching the front line?
"Come, let's toast Director Shen together!"
Seeing that Jiang Chao had taken the lead, the heroine Wei Ying was not to be outdone, and stood up with a smile, which made Jiang Chao, who had just raised his glass, a little embarrassed, with a hint of anger deep in his eyes.
This is the entertainment industry, where intrigues and deceit are commonplace. The appearance of kindness on the surface hides a lot of nastiness in the heart.
Nowadays, Shen Mu is destined to be a rising star in the director world. Who doesn't want to have a good relationship with him?
And these actors, who have worked together in Endless Glory, undoubtedly have the upper hand.
"Xiao Shen, you have achieved such results in your debut, you have a bright future!"
As the largest investor in Endless Glory and the boss here, Zhang Changhuai also stood up and gently patted Shen Mu on the shoulder. The weight of his words was completely different.
Even at many celebration banquets with a box office of less than 1 billion, this big boss may not be honored. Being able to come to congratulate him in person today shows how much he values the new director Shen Mu.
"Dr. Zhang, you're so polite. This is all due to your support and everyone's efforts!"
Shen Mu Yangguang's handsome face was full of smiles. This made everyone feel comfortable. After all, in the entertainment industry, there are some arrogant people who are arrogant despite their achievements.
Although Shen Mu had just graduated from the college, he still had a certain understanding of human affairs, so he behaved quite humbly, and drank everyone's toast until the glass was dry.
The dusk at this moment is like stars holding the moon.
With the success of his debut and several glasses of red wine, his face turned slightly red, attracting the twinkling eyes of many actresses.
"Have you noticed that upon closer inspection, Director Shen seems to be more handsome than those first-line actors!"
"Tsk, tsk, a director is so handsome, how can other people live?"
"If you become famous at a young age, are talented, and are handsome, if you can be chosen by Director Shen, wouldn't you have nothing to worry about in the next life?"
"proceed if you can!"
"..."
There were whispers in the corner of Liuyun Hall. This can be regarded as the norm in the entertainment industry. There are some unspoken rules that are difficult to declare verbally, but people enjoy it endlessly.
Including the big guys in the industry, they all praised Shen Mu.
Capital is all about profit, and if Shen Mu can bring them monetary benefits, they will naturally support him.
Crunch!
At this moment, the door of Liuyun Hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then two figures strode in, attracting everyone's attention.
Two women came in. The one walking in front exuded the aura of a lady. She was wearing a brand name that cost millions of dollars, and she looked like jewels.
As for the lady in the back, although she is equally arrogant, her temperament and dress are much different from the lady in front. She should be an assistant secretary.
"Mrs. Wang!"
"Mrs. Wang!"
"Mrs. Wang!"
"..."
After a short period of silence, everyone came to their senses and rushed to speak respectfully.
Including Zhang Changhuai, a well-known boss in the investment community, also walked quickly towards the lady with a rather respectful expression.
"Mrs. Wang?"
Shen Mu held the wine glass in his hand and was stunned for a moment. Soon, even after he knew who the visitor was, he became a little excited.
Could it be that the success of Endless Glory attracted this truly big shot in the film industry?
Since you are destined to be in the entertainment industry, you must have a certain understanding of some of the big shots who control the rules of the entertainment industry.
And this so-called Queen Mother is one of them!
As far as Shen Mu knows, Wang Tai's ex-husband's Wang Group is a super large group integrating real estate, catering, and entertainment, and is one of the best in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
After the divorce, the entertainment business under the Wang Group was placed in the hands of Mrs. Wang. She is also quite capable in business operations and has been respected by everyone in the entertainment industry over the years.
It’s just that no one expected that a big shot like Mrs. Wang would come uninvited today. It seems that Endless Glory didn’t get this investment, right?
Strictly speaking, even though Endless Glory is a big hit, it is only a very high ratio of investment and return.
Compared with those real blockbuster movies that grossed 4,5 or even 10 billion at the box office, it was still a bit unwatchable.
However, although everyone was confused, Mrs. Wang was a top boss in the industry. Since she was here in person, no one dared to neglect her.
As for whether the other party has anything to do with Endless Glory, is that important?
"Mrs. Wang, what kind of wind brings you here?"
The only person in the hall who could talk to Mrs. Wang was probably the investor Zhang Changhuai. He was smiling and his tone was somewhat complimentary, and he also meant to find out what the other person's intention was.
If you can serve this person well, then in the entertainment industry of the Dragon Kingdom, wouldn't it be a matter of wind and rain?
"Old Zhang, I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see this...Director Shen!"
Mrs. Wang directly ignored Zhang Changhuai, and her eyes also turned to Shen Mu at this moment, making the latter a little flattered.
When did your own face become so important?
"Mrs. Wang, I am Shen Mu!"
Now that the other party had already called his name, Shen Mu couldn't hold it any longer. Seeing him take a step forward, he raised his glass without being humble or arrogant.
This kind of demeanor makes many female stars feel heartbroken, while some people with dark psychology are envious and jealous.
The halo of this debut novel being a hit was enough to make Shen Mu famous for a while. If Mrs. Wang takes it seriously again, wouldn't it mean that it will skyrocket?
"Xiao Shen, come with me, I have something to tell you!"
Mrs. Wang ignored the fiery glances around her and saw her eyes change. After she finished speaking, she walked towards the side hall next to her.
This is the exclusive configuration of Liuyun Hall. It is just for fear that someone will be tired or drunk and want to take a rest. Everyone who heard this was thoughtful.
Seeing that Shen Mu had followed Mrs. Wang into the side hall, everyone outside was quiet for a moment, and some low-pitched discussions gradually started.
"Hehe, have you heard that last time there was a handsome young man who was killed by Mrs. Wang..."
"You mean, Mrs. Wang has taken a liking to Director Shen this time?"
"Otherwise? With a box office of only one billion, I'm afraid it won't be able to attract the attention of Mrs. Wang, right?"
"Yes, Director Shen is so handsome, I almost want to take a bite when I look at him!"
"Shhh... please keep your voice down, don't let Director Shen hear this!"
"Yes, yes, after tonight, Director Shen will be Mrs. Wang's man, and maybe he will be the number one director in the Dragon Kingdom in the future!"
"..."
These discussions reached the ears of Zhang Changhuai and other big men, and they just looked at each other and smiled.
Including Assistant Mrs. Wang, who was still in the hall, seemed to be used to this kind of thing.
The person Mrs. Wang likes will definitely not be able to escape her grasp.
If you, Shen Mu, still want to be in the entertainment industry of Longguo, then you have no choice but to obey. There is no other way to go.
…………
In the side hall!
Naturally, Shen Mu didn't hear the discussions outside. He was still a little confused about Mrs. Wang's purpose for a while. Is there anything that needs to be discussed alone here?
Is it because of my amazing talent that the other party wants to invest in my next movie?
"Mrs. Wang..."
"What's your name, Mrs. Wang? Call me sister!"
Just when Shen Mu opened his mouth to ask something, he was interrupted by the noble Mrs. Wang, which gave him an inexplicable feeling.
"Xiao Shen, has the next part been decided yet?"
Before Shen Mu could speak again, Mrs. Wang continued, with a hint of temptation in her tone, as if she was really interested in Shen Mu's next drama.
"It's still being prepared. It would be great if we can get Mrs. Wang's support!"
Shen Mu calmed down. To be honest, he did have ambitions. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and after Endless Glory, make a few more hit movies to lay a foundation.
Endless Glory has already made Shen Mu famous. If Mrs. Wang invests in subsequent dramas, then at least the funding and film schedule will be guaranteed.
He believes that with the quality of the films he makes, it will be difficult for them to become popular.
"Support is nothing but trivial matters. The key depends on your attitude, Xiao Shen!"
Mrs. Wang's mind was not on such trivial matters as investing. She could see her staring at Shen Mu passionately, as if she was looking at a piece of fresh meat that could be taken away at any time.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Wang, I will do my best to write a good script and make a good movie!"
Shen Mu didn't understand the other party's so-called attitude for a moment. He just thought about the problem from a conventional perspective.
In his opinion, this is already the best promise and guarantee, right?
"No, no, no, Xiao Shen, you still don't understand what I mean!"
Mrs. Wang was unprecedentedly patient with such a handsome young man. After seeing her shake her head, she opened the zipper of her handbag and took out something like a card.
"Xiao Shen, this is the room key card for the Golden Dragon Hotel room. My sister will be waiting for you in the room tonight!"
Perhaps it was because she had done this so often that Mrs. Wang could not see the slightest bit of embarrassment on her face, as if she was just doing the right thing and had a domineering air that could not be rejected.
