The wind in the middle of the night was a bit desolate, just like Shen Mu's heart that was equally cold when she came out of the Golden Dragon International Hotel.
As soon as the cold wind blew, Shen Mu's wine was almost sober.
At this time, he also completely calmed down, and the bitterness in his heart seemed to become a little more intense.
Just like the name of the movie "Endless Glory", originally Shen Mu should wear endless glory from today on and create a world in the film industry.
But because of an inexplicable appearance of Mrs. Wang, Shen Mu, who was about to step onto the clouds, was thrown directly into the abyss, catching him off guard.
Shen Mu didn't know what would greet him, but he knew that tonight was the last calm night before the storm.
Starting tomorrow, it will probably be stormy.
"Oh, let nature take its course!"
Shen Mu's character is relatively peaceful. Now that he has come to this point, now that he has made a choice, he must be responsible for his own choice.
Otherwise, if he were lying on Mrs. Wang's bed now, I'm afraid he would be even more melancholy.
Whether this result is good or bad is hard to say!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the "Earth Entertainment Treasure Book"!"
At this time, a somewhat mechanical voice suddenly appeared in Shen Mu's mind, which made him slightly stunned, thinking to himself, what the hell is this?
"In view of the fact that the host is about to be blocked by the entire network, mission selection is now enabled!"
The mechanical sound was still coming, and then a few lines of small words appeared in front of Shen Mu's eyes. Of course, these small words could not be seen by outsiders.
"First, Wang Tai is too powerful, so he can only swallow his anger and annihilate everyone from now on, and he will be rewarded with 100 million dragon coins!"
"Two, prepare to film "Spike List", get a chance to make a comeback, and get slapped in the face!"
These two options were what caught Shen Mu's eyes. After a brief moment of confusion, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Could it be that he is the legendary chosen one who activates the system?
"Earth? What is that place?"
With some doubts about the name of this system, Shen Mu fell into a bit of entanglement because he didn't know how to choose for a while.
If there was no reward of 100 million, Shen Mu would definitely choose the second one.
This is not a small amount of money. Even if the box office of Endless Glory exceeds 1 billion, the money he gets will not be that much.
And although Shen Mu rejected Mrs. Wang, he still had a certain understanding of her strength.
The theater chain's share of the profits is all in the hands of the other party. When Mrs. Wang finds a reason to get stuck, he may not be able to get the money easily.
A huge sum of 100 million is undoubtedly full of endless temptation for a young man who has just graduated from college.
Any normal person would probably hesitate in the face of such temptation.
"Hey, what am I thinking about? If I really want to choose the first one, wouldn't I just agree to the old woman just now?"
After a moment, Shen Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that if he had promised Mrs. Wang before, it would be an easy thing to earn 100 million, so why should he refuse?
"Choose two!"
Perhaps because of the unwillingness to persist in his heart, Shen Mu chose the second option without thinking for too long.
Now that I have a system by my side, how can I not give it a try?
"Ding, the script of "Spike List" has been distributed!"
"Ding, one million start-up funds have arrived in the virtual account and can only be used to prepare for the filming of "Spike List"!"
The system sound came out again, making Shen Mu grit his teeth, especially when he saw the first option that had just disappeared, and the 100 million reward.
"Why is the gap so big? With only one million, what can be done?"
Shen Mu complained melancholy, but when he thought that if he could get the share of Endless Glory, he would be able to get a lot more start-up capital, and he gained some confidence.
Otherwise, in this film industry that needs to burn money everywhere, one million would not even be enough to hire a third-tier actor, let alone make a complete movie.
"Huh? It's not a movie, but... a TV series?!"
When Shen Mu glanced at the script of Langya Bang, he suddenly realized that it was not a movie script that he was good at, but a TV drama script with extremely rich content.
There is a chain of contempt in the entertainment industry. Actors on the big screen look down on actors on the small screen, and directors who make movies naturally look down on directors who make TV series.
Shen Mu used to be very high-spirited and indeed talented. He would produce masterpieces like Endless Glory as soon as he made a move.
This made him even more determined to continue on the film path.
At this moment, he suddenly saw that the system only gave him a TV drama script, and he was still a little disappointed.
Therefore, I didn't read the script carefully, maybe because I wanted to think carefully about whether I should put down my body and make a TV series.
And with only one million start-up capital, this matter obviously couldn't be rushed. He had to take advantage of this period of time to plan carefully.
…………
We returned to our place in silence all the way.
After graduating from college, Shen Mu no longer lived with his parents.
He went to college in Longcheng, so naturally he wanted to carve out a world of his own in the imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
If everything goes according to plan, Shen Mu should be able to realize his ambition soon.
When the time comes to honor your ancestors and return to your hometown in glory, your parents, relatives and friends will also be impressed.
This house is within the fifth ring road of Dragon City, and the rent is not cheap. Shen Mu, who has just graduated, does not live alone, but shares it with others.
"Shen Mu, you are finally back, something big has happened!"
Shen Mu had just opened the door and entered the house when he saw a graceful figure running towards him, shouting loudly, it was his roommate Ye Lan.
Ye Lan is a few years older than Shen Mu. She is the latter's senior at Longcheng Film Academy. She majored in agency and is now a moderately famous agent in the entertainment industry.
Ye Lan, who was nearly thirty years old, was always dignified and generous in front of others, with the charm of a mature woman, but at this moment, she had a look of fear on her face and ran to Shen Mu regardless of her image.
Perhaps it was because the two of them had been renting together for a year, but Ye Lan didn't feel like a goddess in front of Shen Mu, so she pulled Shen Mu towards the sofa.
"Shen Mu, isn't today a celebration banquet of endless glory? Who have you offended to let others punish you like this?"
Ye Lan was walking and talking, which made Shen Mu's heart tremble. She secretly thought that Mrs. Wang wouldn't be so impatient and take action so soon, would she?
"What happened?"
However, Shen Mu was still relatively calm and asked before sitting down. Then he saw a few large characters on the top of the screen of Ye Lan's laptop.
"See for yourself!"
Under Ye Lan's anxious movements, Shen Mu's face darkened at this moment.
He suddenly realized that he might have underestimated Mrs. Wang's character and skills.
"Endless glory, whose endless glory is it?"
What caught Shen Mu's eyes was a blog article published on Longguo's largest entertainment social platform "Longbo".
The title alone gave him a bad feeling.
"I believe that everyone has watched the movie Endless Glory. I have to say that the quality of this movie is indeed excellent. Whether it is the story, the actors' acting skills or the visual effects, it is worthy of being praised as a top blockbuster..."
At the beginning of the blog post, Yang Yangshasha detailed the endless glory of the recent popular movies.
This movie is indeed good-looking. With word-of-mouth spread, the reputation is getting better and better, and the box office is getting higher and higher.
"Endless Glory is so good-looking, everyone must be interested in the director of such a high-quality movie, right? Want to see what kind of 'excellent' director he is?"
"But what I want to say today is that Director Shen Mu, who is known as a rising star in Dragon Kingdom and is even hailed as the future of Dragon Kingdom movies, is nothing but a despicable and shameless plagiarist!"
Following the praise of the movie itself in the previous article, the blog post suddenly changed its writing style and used a bitter and hateful curse to pin the endlessly glorious director Shen Mu on the shameful rack of plagiarism.
"Yes, I, Yang Shiping, am the original screenwriter of Infinite Glory. It was Shen Mu who stole my script using despicable means. Let me tell you, what qualifications does such a shameless person have to become the future of our Dragon Kingdom movies?"
A well-known screenwriter named Yang Shiping was filled with indignation, showing his profound writing skills.
The writing contains both hatred for Shen Mu for plagiarizing his own script, as well as the grievance and pity of being a victim, which is very confusing.
In just over an hour, there were tens of thousands of comments on this blog post, and most of these comments were scolding Shen Mu.
Perhaps there were a few rational people among them who felt that Yang Shiping had not provided any substantial evidence, but they were quickly submerged in the Taotao navy.
It is obvious that not only this blog post but also the comments below are being deliberately guided by someone with the purpose of ruining the reputation of Shen Mu, a newly emerging young director.
This topic has become a hot search topic, which is probably a sure thing.
"To be honest, "Endless Glory" is really good-looking. I didn't expect the director's conduct to be so bad!"
"How could someone like Shen Mu make such a good-looking movie? It turned out to be plagiarism!"
"Fortunately, he has the nerve to put his name in the most prominent position in the movie. He is simply shameless!"
"Block Shen Mu, block endless glory!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Endless Glory looks so good, I still want to go for a second brush!"
"Then just ban Shen Mu and remove him from the endless glory!"
"Block Shen Mu! Block Shen Mu!"
"..."
Looking at these comments and barrages that kept appearing, Shen Mu just looked gloomy, while Ye Lan beside him was already so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"It's so abominable, how could they do this?"
When I first saw this blog post, Ye Lan was just angry, and there were not so many negative comments.
She just thought it was a well-known screenwriter who wanted a piece of the pie and the endless glory.
But now, seeing the comments and barrages about "banning Shen Mu" that kept popping up, Ye Lan was angry and felt a little uneasy deep in her heart.
"Sister Lan, can't you see that there is someone behind this?"
Shen Mu sighed softly. In fact, he didn't believe that Ye Lan couldn't see it.
This person is also an insider and has worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, so his experience is much richer than him.
"Shen Mu, what on earth is going on?"
Ye Lan, who was just angry just now, calmed down a bit now. Seeing Shen Mu's calm look, she knew there was a reason for the matter, so she asked directly.
