Chapter 129

The cause was that after a director received the polite rejection message sent by Mu Chen's assistant.

They didn't know what they were thinking.

Perhaps it was resentment!

Or perhaps it was to ride the wave of popularity, so they posted that text message online.

Not many people paid attention to just one.

But soon, after seeing that text message.

Many rejected directors also left comments below saying they had received one too, and even posted screenshots of what they received.

Afterwards, the directors posted more and more.

People then discovered that all of the hundreds of scripts sent to Mu Chen had been rejected.

Not a single one was invested in.

Originally, this wouldn't have mattered, but when reporter Xiao Chou saw it.

He immediately began to sensationalize it.

He turned Mu Chen's wide-net investment strategy into a gimmick, or rather, a scam.

He claimed that Mu Chen didn't actually want to invest, but was put on the spot by the online abuse and his own words.

In the end, he had to issue that Weibo post saying he would invest in movies and TV, but in reality, he had no intention of investing at all.

Otherwise, how could he have rejected hundreds of investments in just a few short days, without accepting even one?

This maneuver simply dragged the intelligence of many directors through the dirt.

He was purely playing with those directors who wanted investment.

The language used was extremely vivid.

Suddenly, many of the rejected directors also felt they couldn't save face, although they didn't go as far as those rappers to DISS Mu Chen.

After all, offending him might mean offending not just one Mu Chen, but many investors.

But retweeting and liking was normal, right!

In an instant, the news edited by Xiao Chou pushed Mu Chen onto the hot search list again.

After netizens saw the news that broke, they were instantly led into mocking him.

——【I said, why was Mu Chen in such a hurry to announce he was investing? Turns out it was just for his own face!】

——【He couldn't back down, right! Hundreds of movies and not one caught his eye??? Then what could possibly catch your eye?】

——【He should have just said he only likes movies by Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige, he probably doesn't look at average directors anyway!】

——【I used to think Mu Chen was brave and quite admirable, but I didn't expect it was just to maintain his own face. Isn't this just messing with people? He made so many directors hold onto hope!】

——【Where is Mu Chen? Shouldn't he come out and explain??? I want to see if you have some hidden reason???】

——【Don't @ him, he'll probably come out in a bit and say those directors' scripts were dog shit and he didn't like them! Anyway, Mu Chen's foul mouth is famous nationwide!】

——【Eh, I thought he was a straightforward boy, didn't expect him to be so scheming.】

In an instant, who knows how many haters popped up.

The rappers who had been DISSing Mu Chen the whole time were instantly overjoyed.

One after another, they jumped out again.

Weier: "Preparing to create a song called 'Clown'! It will definitely be better than 'Temporary Hugging of Buddha's Feet'!"

Wawa: "It's so shameful to lie to people, having money doesn't mean you can act like that!"

Jiang Yunsheng: "Who exactly are the demons and monsters???"

Laopai: "Are those directors feeling like they've eaten shit???"

The entire rap circle seemed to be having a carnival.

Mu Chen's few remaining brainless little fan girls didn't know how to respond for a moment.

They could only retort with some lack of confidence.

——【Our brother is not that kind of person, their scripts must be too bad!】

——【Exactly, a bunch of flop directors, what good works could they have? Do you expect our brother to invest in everything?】

——【These people are really funny, isn't it just that no one invested in your stuff? Why must our brother invest!】

Actually, deep down they vaguely felt it might be true, but how could they let others scold Mu Chen!

Don't say, the little fan girls who like Mu Chen right now aren't very normal.

There's not much difference between them and the brainless female fans of those little fresh meats.

Every word they say just makes people angrier and brings more hate to Mu Chen.

Those rejected directors were even more stifled and angry.

Just when people were about to start a war.

Suddenly, a comment appeared under the post and was quickly liked by countless people.

【Go check the Weibo of Xu Jizhou, Fu Dongyu, Shen Ao, Lu Jiji, and Yi Zhen, I'm stunned, Mu Chen invested, and he invested 1.27 billion!!!】

Netizens searched involuntarily.

Instantly saw the Weibo posts made by the five of them.

Xu Jizhou: 【Mr. Mu isn't investing??? What's going on with this 700 million investment in my movie??? /JPG!】

Fu Dongyu: 【Although it's not as much investment as brother Xu got, 100 million isn't a small amount, right??? /JPG!】

Yi Zhen: 【"Love Between Fairy and Devil" finally got investment, not as much as brother Xu, only 400 million! Fans who like "Love Between Fairy and Devil" are in for a treat! /JPG!】

Shen Ao: 【50 million isn't much, but it's enough to film "No More Bets", exposing the naked truth of Mianbei telecommunications fraud for you! /JPG!】

Lu Jiji: 【20 million, actually didn't want to say it, but I can't stand people slandering Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu is the talent scout of my life! /JPG!】

Everyone had a few simple sentences, followed by a screenshot of the contract cover.

On it were clearly the contracts signed between Michen Investment Co., Ltd. and them!

When they saw those Weibo posts and the contracts.

The netizens completely exploded.

——【Holy cow!!! This can't be real, right??? Just one TV show is 700 million? Who is this Xu Jizhou?】

——【Don't doubt it, if you don't know, go to Baidu Baike. They are all veteran directors, how could they come out to lie for Mu Chen!】

——【I'm stunned, just Xu Jizhou's one movie is 700 million, adding it all up is 1.27 billion. Is Mu Chen crazy? Is this what you call Mu Chen investing for face??? 1.27 billion for face? Mu Chen, are you not planning to live anymore!】

——【Can I finally watch "Love Between Fairy and Devil"??? Just for this, Mu Chen, I'm a fan of yours!!!】

——【Sorry, Boss Mu, I was speaking a bit loudly just now. You really do invest in movies!!! You're a warrior! If this loses money, won't you have to jump off a building, Mu Chen???】

——【Doesn't anyone have questions? That's 1.27 billion. Even if Mu Chen earned 500 or 600 million from investing in Wang Baoqiang's movie, that's at most half. How could he come up with 1.27 billion???】

——【I'm also curious, could it be Big Mimi??? Mimi, Mimi!! Big Mimi has money!】

——【Don't say, it's really possible!!! Da Mimi, come out and say it, did Mu Chen save your life???】

——【Suspecting Mu Chen is being kept by a rich woman!!!】

——【Those directors should also come out and take a beating. Why did others get 700 million in investment, and you guys got none??】

——【And those rappers should also come out and take a beating. Who is the clown???】

Some were shocked by the number that they didn't dare to imagine.

Some were people who doubted where Mu Chen's money came from.

There were also those calling for the flop directors and rappers to come out and take a beating.

But how could anyone jump out now?

Five dramas at once, totaling 1.27 billion, had long since blown everyone's minds.

The first director to post the text message screenshot immediately deleted his Weibo.

The rappers were even busier deleting their own Weibo posts.

As arrogant as they were when they posted, they deleted just as fast.

Xiao Chou was so angry his face turned green. He wanted to delete the news he posted, but this thing isn't Weibo, it can't be deleted!!!

Now under his personal account.

It's all the word "clown"!!!

Others were about the same!!

But since it's like this, he won't delete it either.

Unhappily, he posted a few words—【Let's see him lose everything!】

As a result, he was met with even more abuse.
