Shu Mei really dares to dream, she has already imagined it in her mind.

Let her own brother first become a top star in Japan and South Korea, even a superstar, and then naturally become a national-level star domestically.

Then expand beyond Asia, into Europe and America, and then all sorts of other third-world countries...

Anyway, the ultimate goal is to be a super domestic and global superstar!

The kind that exists like a symbol or a hallmark of the era!

Not only that, for most viewers, their attitude towards celebrities is ultimately just a hobby, supporting them for entertainment.

But their brother... her brother, no matter what he does, his fans would spend money to support him. If he became a global superstar, and the fans remain like this...

Shu Mei thought, and her heartbeat even quickened a bit.

She was imagining while Wu Mu had already finished reading the script in detail.

He was somewhat surprised to find that the quality of this movie script is quite high.

Unlike "Separate," which is a bit surreal and relies mainly on the camera to create atmosphere, this film is relatively realistic, using concrete events to tell the story.

It's the story of a pair of seemingly perfectly matched lovers, from their meeting and entanglement to their passionate relationship, and ultimately breaking up because their lifestyles and dreams differ.

The story is very realistic and immersive.

Wu Mu could feel a sense of imagery just by reading the dialogues on the script.

Shu Mei next to him noticed his surprise and said, "Brother, the screenwriter of this script is also very skilled, Sakamoto Yuji, who has produced many well-known works."

"Then let's take it," Wu Mu nodded, feeling that this film should also add quite a few points.

After accepting the new movie project, the next thing was about the new variety show.

This variety show is the previous one by director Gao Yuncheng, "Casual Shooting."

A popular show from Korea SBS (Seoul Broadcasting) TV Station, its selling point is that guests choose their topics and shoot themselves.

Wu Mu saw he had free time and straightforwardly accepted it.

Once he confirmed, Shi Wu was responsible for contacting them to talk about the specifics and contract details.

His current movie quotes, boosted by his Cannes Best Actor win and the new movie's box office performance, have already surged. The quote for a commercial film now exceeds 40 million.

Just like the recent offer for director Xu Fu's script, the initial quote was 43 million, negotiating to 45 million should be no problem.

For small productions and art films, there's room for discounts based on his willingness to perform, yet even with discounts, the quotes still start around 15-16 million.

These figures are undoubtedly very high for a film like "Bouquet-like Love," taking up a significant portion of their total investment, meaning with the film yet to start shooting, they've already used up much of the budget.

Also, the treatment of celebrities in Japan is even lower than in South Korea; generally, a leading Japanese star's salary for a movie is only in the hundreds of thousands.

Wu Mu directly increased it fifteen to sixteen times.

If it were last month, they definitely wouldn't accept Wu Mu's quote.

But now... his quote was accepted by the "Bouquet-like Love" team without any bargaining.

No choice, Wu Mu's "Separate" box office was simply too terrifying.

Over one billion!

He was a major contributing factor.

They're not daring to hope for a billion, but just getting two or three hundred million, then holding the rights for Hua Country's region and going for a re-release... there's a huge potential for profit!

With Wu Mu joining, they can also look to investors to increase the budget.

The salary was settled at 15 million, and additionally, Wu Mu was given the task of handling the movie's theme songs and inserts at 80 thousand per song.

Yes, only broadcasting rights without royalty rights; the full rights are too expensive, and they can't afford them.

After the movie, it's time for variety shows' salary negotiations.

800 thousand per episode, initially Netflix's one million US Dollar rate was just them being financially strong, but because of his outstanding performance, his variety show rate now directly competes with Netflix's rate, even slightly exceeding it.

While Shi Wu negotiated contracts, Wu Mu wasn't idling either.

The time to meet Mo Mo for dinner, as previously arranged, had arrived.

He called Mo Mo to ask where they should dine.

But who would have thought, a small change occurred.

"You're saying to have dinner at your place?" Wu Mu listened to the voice on the phone, slightly surprised.

Mo Mo's voice on the other end was a bit embarrassed and slightly shy, "My mom has always been one of your loyal viewers. She heard you're still in Shen City and asked me to directly invite Teacher Wu Mu to our home for dinner, Sister Ping and the others are also here... is that suitable?"

It wasn't really inappropriate.

The two count as old friends known for a long time, dining at each other's home is quite normal, especially when Mo Mo's manager and assistant are also going to be there.

But considering the past situation between Mo Mo and him... it inevitably felt a bit odd.

Wu Mu thought it over and agreed, "It is suitable, just make sure not to trouble Auntie and the others. I'll bring Xiao Mei along, too."

Shu Mei, eavesdropping on the side, clenched her fist slightly upon hearing her name, so you weren't planning on taking me along at first!

She mused internally, slightly wanting to look skyward. It has begun, the battle to win over her brother has started.

Someone is eyeing her brother again!

At six in the evening, Wu Mu took Shu Mei to dinner.

Mo Mo's house in Pudong is a villa district not far from the city center, with a river at the front and a large green park at the back, offering excellent geographical conditions.

Even Shu Mei, who's seen many luxurious homes, couldn't help but take another look, "Sister Mo Mo has indeed earned a lot these years... I heard that previously the richest man, Boss Ma, also lived here."

Wu Mu was also curiously looking around, "What's the price of houses here?"

"I heard it's nearly 400 thousand per square meter, with a villa costing one to two hundred million."

That's indeed a lot, requiring seven to eight tenths of his annual income to afford one.

Well, speaking of which, Wu Mu now holds quite a bit of money, considering he should find a place to spend it, otherwise just saving it isn't much use.

Driving towards Mo Mo's home, from afar, he could see Mo Mo and her manager waiting outside.

"Teacher Wu Mu!"

It had been a while since they met in real life, Mo Mo with the same appearance as before, sported a beige long dress with cheeks shining bright and clear. Upon seeing him, she beamed a smile and waved at him, her entire being as radiant and gentle as if photoshopped under soft lighting effects.

Wu Mu smiled as well, "Teacher Mo Mo."

Then he greeted Mo Mo's manager on the side, "Sister Ping."

The two were still as familiar as before.

But Mo Mo's manager, Sister Ping, looked at him with slightly peculiar eyes.

They certainly wouldn't have changed, after all, the last offline meeting took place just two or three months ago, no good person changes in just two or three months.

But this Wu Mu... seemed to have gotten more handsome offline after not seeing him for two or three months?

And his career progressed day by day... as if updating like a game, a new version every few days, now and since their last face-to-face are almost as if from different expansion packs!
