Chapter 138: An Interview Zhou Min didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Qingyue again and asked, "Are you serious?" Lin Qingyue gave her a look that showed she was not joking, "Okay, we'll talk later if you have anything to say. Let's move things together first." Wu Mu looked at the things in the trunk of the pickup truck curiously, "What is this?" "An outdoor theater system. We'll show movies in your yard after dinner." Open air cinema system? so much? Lin Qingyue saw his confusion and explained with a smile, "It's a relatively high-end set, with better picture and sound quality." OK. As expected of a director, he is so particular. Wu Mu helped Lin Qingyue move the things to her yard, then went to brush his teeth and wash his face, while watching her debug.

But after Lin Qingyue had been debugging for half a morning, he found something wrong, "Director Lin, are you planning to show a movie at this party?" What about food and drink? Didn’t we say we were going to have a party and a meal? "You'll find out later." Well, Wu Mu will know soon. Wu Mu was speechless when he saw Lin Qingyue's friends, each of whom brought a bunch of food and drinks to her house. It turned out that when she held a party, others had to bring their own food. In addition to Zhou Min, Lin Qingyue has four other friends. Three men and one woman. She is a woman in her thirties, with a calm and professional look. She is a producer named Zheng Qiuxia who has invested in several short films produced by Lin Qingyue. The fair-skinned, slightly plump man is Lin Qingyue's childhood friend. He works in a government agency and his name is Chen Qian. The man, who was about 27 or 28 years old and wearing black-framed glasses, was a senior from the same class as Gao Lin Qingyue. He worked at China Film Group Corporation and his name was Geng Zetong. The man, who was about forty or fifty years old and had a bitter look on his face, was the assistant director that Lin Qingyue always worked with, named Feng Shang. It was not known whether these people had contacted Lin Qingyue or Zhou Min privately, but they did not show much doubt about Wu Mu. But in his heart, he was obviously sizing up Wu Mu. Lin Qingyue's visit to Wu Mu's house for the gathering was both to introduce Wu Mu to new friends and to introduce Wu Mu as their new friend. They have been friends for many years and they all know Lin Qingyue very well. They know that Lin Qingyue is a person with high standards. If she is willing to introduce Wu Mu to them, it must mean that Wu Mu has something worth making friends with. Well, after looking him up and down, they were a little suspicious whether Lin Qingyue was fascinated by the pretty boy. After all, apart from his face, they couldn't see anything outstanding about this guy. However, they thought this in their hearts but did not show it on their faces. Chen Qian, Lin Qingyue's childhood friend, lay down on a recliner in Wumu's courtyard in a rather familiar manner and sighed, "Wumu, you should have bought a house here a long time ago. It's much more comfortable here than at her house. When we have a party at her house, I'm always afraid that Uncle Lin will come back." When this topic was brought up, Zhou Min agreed and nodded, "I always feel nervous." Lin Qingyue laughed, "Hey, my dad didn't do anything to you, are you so scared?"

"There's nothing we can do. Uncle Lin's aura is just too strong." Chen Qian lay on the recliner, squinting his eyes comfortably, and gave Wu Mu some advice, "Wu Mu, why don't you put a few tables here? There's no place to put food and drinks." The producer named Zheng Qiuxia was not as unreliable as him. She apologized, "Qingyue didn't tell us that you were moving. You came empty-handed and didn't bring any gifts." Wu Mu didn't care and waved his hand, "No need for any gifts." But Zheng Qiuxia thought about it and looked at Zhou Min, "Why don't we ask Amin to write a special report for you as a gift from us." Zhou Min was speechless, "Why do you want me to work for you when you give me gifts?" But he didn't refuse, and waved his hand generously, "Sure, it doesn't matter who you are interviewing, Wu Mu, when are you free?" As a newspaper with some official nature, Youth Weekly's interview with Wu Mu, an idol whose reputation has been ruined, does have a positive effect. Although Wu Mu doesn't really care about this effect, there is no need to reject other people's goodwill. Accepting interviews is also an artist's job, and at least he can earn some points. "I'm free recently, my schedule is empty." "Okay, I'll get back to prepare and then contact you." The interview was thus confirmed. Then we got together for dinner and chatted, and the overall atmosphere was quite relaxed. All I can say is that Lin Qingyue’s vision in making friends is really good. Although most of her friends have complicated backgrounds, they all feel good to get along with. He doesn’t have the arrogance and arrogance of second-generation kids. Of course, it is probably also largely because he was introduced by Lin Qingyue. Wu Mu can see that in their small group, Lin Qingyue is the core. Wu Mu has a good impression of all of Lin Qingyue's friends. And Lin Qingyue's friends obviously had a good impression of him. Before I met them, I was still thinking about a celebrity whose reputation had collapsed, and how incompatible he was with them. But when they really started chatting, they found that they were really different. They couldn't tell yet that Lin Qingyue was a nice person, but they could tell from the ease of chatting. Wu Muzhen is different from other stars. He is very relaxed and doesn't have all kinds of random thoughts. It is easy to communicate with him. Eating and chatting were all good, and finally watching a movie. Wu Mu was speechless as he looked at the huge open-air screen, which was showing colors changing wildly like a slide show. What kind of movie is this? This is pure light pollution. Lin Qingyue, who was sitting next to him, noticed his lack of interest and said with a smile, "This is director Wang Ren's new film, an experimental avant-garde film. I specially asked someone to find a copy for me. It shows the protagonist's inner struggle." What else could Wu Mu say? "I don't understand it, but I am deeply shocked." Fortunately, he was not the only one who couldn't understand it. Chen Qian looked at him with relief, "Brother, finally there is someone who can understand me. This is just some pretentious stuff. Bullshit inner struggle." He protested, "Can you please show a movie that people can watch next time?" Lin Qingyue laughed and said, "Okay, I'll find a commercial movie to show next time." Speaking of movies, she remembered, "By the way, Wu Mu, there are only two more episodes of Star Agency this season and it will end. I plan to shoot a longer one and cut it into two parts. Then after Star Agency is over, I want to prepare a short film of about 40 minutes. I think you are very suitable for the male lead in it. Are you interested in taking it?" filming? Of course Wu Mu was interested in taking pictures. but. "You are making an art film, right?" Wu Mu asked.

Lin Qingyue nodded, "Yes, a low-budget art film." "Then you can't afford to pay me for the film." Even if Wu Mu's reputation has fallen, he is now a second-tier star and can get at least nearly 10 million in salary for a movie. How could a low-budget art film possibly spend so much money to hire stars? Lin Qingyue spoke frankly, "I guess I can only give you a few million yuan at most, but I made this film for the purpose of winning awards. If it wins, it will also be good for your career." Catch the prize? Wu Mu was not surprised. Lin Qingyue had already won the gold award for short films, so when he made an art film, he would definitely want to win another award. If there is a real hope of winning the prize, then it would not be a loss. But it’s still early for these things. “I’ll contact you after the preparations are completed and show you the script then.” It's something that hasn't even started yet. After watching the movie and chatting for a while, today's party ended. He got two jobs for no apparent reason. It was still early days for the movie, but Zhou Min came to me the next day to ask about the interview. (End of this chapter)
