After listening to Ye Lan's gossip, Shen Mu became very interested in Gao Cheng and felt that Gao Cheng was indeed an excellent candidate to play Emperor Liang.
So after returning to the room, he searched for Gao Cheng's details on his computer.
After all, there are some things that Ye Lan knows that may not be clear on the Internet.
"Like playing Go?"
Among the many high-profile introductions, Shen Mu noticed one of Gao Cheng's hobbies, which made his heart move, and some words automatically appeared in his eyes.
"The Wolf Fang List is in preparation, the mission progress is 5%!"
After Shen Mu chose the second option, the first option disappeared completely, and there was also a progress bar under the option of planning to shoot the Wolf Fang List.
Now that the progress bar has advanced from 0% to 5%, Shen Mu guessed that he had found the reason for Long Kai, which actually gave him some other ideas.
"System, if you have any Go skills, please give me one!"
Shen Mu's soliloquy sounded in the room. Now that he knew Gao Cheng's hobbies, he naturally wanted to start from this aspect in order to have greater certainty.
Isn't your system called "Earth Entertainment Treasure Book"? Entertainment projects can't just be about making movies and TV series. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting can also be considered as entertainment.
Unfortunately, more than ten minutes passed, but there was no response from the system. This made Shen Mu feel a little discouraged. It seemed that the system's path was dead.
As for Go, Shen Mu doesn't know how to play it, but it's at the entry level at most.
Gao Cheng's Go hobby can be written about thousands of times, and I'm afraid it's at least an amateur level. Shen Mu wants to make a fuss about this, but he's probably overthinking it.
"Forget it, go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow!"
Since the system was not powerful, Shen Mu stopped thinking about what was and was not, jumped on the bed and fell asleep with her head covered.
…………
The night passed quickly.
In her dream, Shen Mu played chess with an old gentleman who had a fairy-like character and won in the end.
Unfortunately, after waking up in the morning, Shen Mu could not remember even one step of the chess path in his dream, which made him feel a little melancholy.
When Shen Mu pushed the door open, he saw Ye Lan already standing by the door, holding a square box in his hand, which made him quite curious.
"What is this?" Shen Mu asked as he walked.
"Since you are going to visit the old gentleman, you can't go empty-handed. I know you are a little tight on money, so I prepared it for you overnight!"
A smile appeared on Ye Lan's face, and she heard her say: "It was said online that Gao Cheng likes to play Go, so I ordered a white jade marble chessboard and chess pieces to make sure he likes it!"
"As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. If you make him happy first, the next thing will be much easier to handle!"
As a broker, Ye Lan's emotional intelligence must be much higher than Shen Mu's. She is also familiar with these things and must have done a lot when raising investments.
"Sister Lan is still thoughtful!"
Shen Mu thanked him and got into the passenger seat of Ye Lan's Hornet sports car. Then he saw Ye Lan next to him raise his hand, with a card in his palm.
"Sister Lan, what are you doing?"
Of course Shen Mu could recognize that it was a bank card. At this time, he was very sensitive to money and did not want to accept charity from others.
"You have 10 million in your bank account, aren't you looking for investors? It's better to be experienced than to be a professional, so let me be your investor!"
Ye Lan didn't give Shen Mu a chance to explain too much, and said domineeringly: "Ten million, accounting for 5% of the shares, you won't suffer a loss, right?"
Shen Mu, who originally wanted to refuse, was undoubtedly lost in thought at this time.
Because he is really short of money, investors who have cooperated with Wuxi Glory now regard him as a scourge.
Even except for Zhang Changhuai from Huaiyun Capital, no one else even answered the phone.
It was obviously because of Wang Tai's intimidation that she didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Mu, the god of plague.
Although actors like Long Kai are willing to participate for free first, and other actors are also looking for them along the same lines, but with just one million, they really can't do much.
You have to find a venue, right? You have to rent Fu Hua Dao, right? As a traditional play, you have to hire extra actors for the battle, right?
Actors' food and accommodation, post-production special effects, publicity after the film is completed, and various review matters all cost money, and it's not a small amount of money.
In all aspects and all kinds of things, it is really difficult to move forward without money.
Shen Mu once complained about the system, so he gave himself a script and one million, and nothing else. In fact, this was no different from a white wolf with nothing.
In this difficult moment, Ye Lan suddenly extended a helping hand, and for such a reason, he simply could not refuse.
If Shen Mu brought up such a thing himself, he might feel embarrassed.
But now Ye Lan has taken the initiative to hand over the bank card in front of him. If he refuses to accept it, it will be too pretentious.
"Ten percent, no more!"
In the end, Shen Mu decided to accept the investment, but he changed the conditions, which made Ye Lan's hand stiffen slightly when he handed out the bank card.
"I'm telling you, little Twilight, everyone is afraid that they will make less money, so why are you pushing the money out?"
Ye Lan looked at Shen Mu in disbelief. Based on her optimism about the script of the Wolf Fang List, she felt that even a 5% share would be a huge reward.
She believed that Shen Mu, as an original creator and a director who had produced high-quality films such as Endless Glory, would not fail to see the benefits from this. This was simply giving her money.
"If someone else invests 10 million, I can give them 3% at most. I still feel like I'm losing money!"
Shen Mu dragged his bank card and couldn't help but smile: "It's just you, Sister Lan, and it's a timely help. Of course, I want you to earn more!"
"Haha, I knew that little Twilight was the best to my sister!"
After hearing the next few words, Ye Lan let go of his hand with satisfaction, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
"Little Twilight, this is my sister's husband's book. If you lose everything, my sister will be dependent on you for the rest of her life!"
The smile on Ye Lan's face disappeared. She seemed to be really worried that her husband would be compensated by Shen Mu, but the light in her beautiful eyes betrayed her.
"Sister Lan, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. Is the rest of your money in the stock market and financial management products?"
Shen Mu curled her lips. She didn't really know how much money the agent made.
Ye Lan has been a manager for so many years and has second- and third-tier artists under her management. How could she only have 10 million in savings?
"Ouch, little Twilight, you peeked into my sister's privacy!"
Ye Lan yelled exaggeratedly, which made Shen Mu have a dark look on his face. Didn't you say this yourself after dinner? When did I peek into your privacy?
But Shen Mu knew that he was no match for Ye Lan in this regard, so he simply said nothing.
Ye Lan laughed, lit the ignition and started humming a tune, seemingly in a good mood.
"Thanks!"
After a long silence, a faint voice came from Shen Mu's mouth.
But Ye Lan, who was very close to the side, didn't seem to hear it, but the corner of his mouth curled up in a faint arc.
In the final analysis, Shen Mu and Ye Lan are just living together. As for the relationship between seniors and juniors, it is almost dispensable in the entertainment industry.
Many times, the so-called classmates who graduated from the same class are the biggest competitors.
There are only so many resources in the entertainment industry. If we give you more, won’t we give me less?
Therefore, there have always been plastic brotherhoods and plastic sisters in the entertainment industry.
Maybe sisters who were chatting and laughing and shopping together one day are greeting each other's relatives online the next day. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
This may also be the reason why Shen Mu didn't ask Ye Lan for investment help immediately.
Firstly, he felt that the other party might not be willing to spend money to invest, and secondly, the relationship between the two did not seem to have reached that stage.
But now, Shen Mu didn't even need to say it himself, Ye Lan just took out 10 million, which was indeed a timely help as he said, resolving his urgent need.
Shen Mu had just graduated a year ago, and his self-written and directed film Endless Glory was certainly a hit, but with the current situation, he probably wouldn't be able to get the money for a while, unless the lawsuit could be won.
In other words, apart from the one million funds given by the system, Shen Mu only had money for food and living.
"It's great to have such a senior!"
Shen Mu glanced at Ye Lan from the corner of his eye. He didn't say these words, but deep in his heart, he had firmly remembered this kindness.
The kindness of a drop of water will surely be repaid by a spring of water in the future!
