Chapter 369: Who is the bigwig behind him?

"Yu Mo."

The assistant spat out the name clearly, word by word.

"Yu Mo?"

"You mean, this drama has Yu Mo's investment? Did they have a gambling agreement?"

This was something Chen Chen Chen Kaige hadn't expected.

After all, he hadn't paid attention to these small directors for a long time.

Especially newcomer directors; it's not rare for one to have a hit film. Many directors are like this—after one film becomes popular, they disappear.

There are many such examples.

So, at first, he didn't take Wu Jing to heart at all.

If it weren't for his promotional video becoming a hit, a bigwig like Chen Chen Chen Kaige probably wouldn't have noticed him at all.

"No gambling agreement, just pure financial cooperation. By the way, Yang Mi also invested a portion."

The assistant told Chen Chen Chen Kaige everything he knew.

It caused him to be silent for a long while before slowly sitting down.

This was strange.

Cooperation in the film industry is not rare, especially when funds are short, they will contact other entertainment companies to invest, but most are in the form of gambling agreements.

Yu Mo not only didn't propose a gambling agreement but offered hundreds of millions without a word. From the proposal of cooperation to the end of filming, it didn't take many days, which is very abnormal.

Whose money comes from the wind?

Yu Mo being so certain must mean there's something fishy.

Could it be that behind Yu Mo, there is truly a powerful backer?

Thinking of this, Chen Chen Chen Kaige stood up again.

"Go check! What is Yu Mo busy with now?"

"Yes!"

At this time, Yu Mo was still busy on the set. While filming a small behind-the-scenes clip, Wu Ershan took out his phone from his pocket.

He greeted Yu Mo, indicating he was going to take a call, and left the set in a hurry.

Yu Mo was still busy in place.

"Camera, push forward, very good!"

"Wait a moment, then pull back... yes, yes!"

"... ood! Cut! Take a break!"

Wu Ershan returned from outside and tucked his phone into his pocket.

"Director Yu! Let them rest for a moment, I have something to tell you!"

Wu Ershan had a smile on his face.

But this expression looked more like a form of flattery.

Yu Mo's stats were maxed out, so seeing these subtle little expressions was completely effortless.

The two walked to a secluded corner.

"Director Wu, what is it? Looking at you, you seem quite happy?"

Wu Ershan nodded repeatedly.

"It's like this, Director Chen Chen Chen Kaige contacted me a while ago and wanted to come and see the *Fengshen* I'm filming. He mentioned this on the phone just now, and I told him you were also on the set, Director Yu."

"His meaning is, it's a good opportunity to meet you, Director Yu, and get to know you."

"Since he put it that way, I couldn't refuse. I wonder if it's convenient for you, Director Yu?"

Wu Ershan expressed the matter.

Even he felt it was a bit absurd.

One is a veteran director from home and abroad, the other is a dark horse in the industry. No matter how you look at it, for a meeting like this, he should have revealed it first, and then Yu Mo should have taken the initiative to propose it for it to be reasonable.

He didn't expect Director Chen to take the initiative to visit, and he was very polite and courteous.

This made him unable to understand.

It was indeed an unreasonable thing.

But what could he say?

Wu Ershan understood that although he had some fame in the industry, he was just a minor player, especially since one of his previous dramas ended with less than two points.

Now these two were both internationally recognized.

Neither side was easy to provoke. Since Director Chen lowered his stance, his stance could only be lower than Director Chen's.

His speech was also very cautious.

After all, having struggled in society, this was likely a signal from Director Chen.

If he couldn't even hear this signal, then he had wasted all his years of experience!

"Hmm..."

Yu Mo hesitated for a moment.

What does Chen Chen Chen Kaige want to see him for?

The two had almost no interaction.

For one, in the current new style of the film industry, the older generation had almost no new works, and the commercial structure was changing rapidly.

Although the two had met at various awards ceremonies before, they only nodded politely, and he probably didn't even know who he was.

Now, he actually took the initiative to say he wanted to get to know him.

Don't know what it's about again.

According to what he knew, Chen Chen Chen Kaige had no more works later and completely handed things over to others to manage.

Seeing Yu Mo silent for a long time, Wu Ershan immediately said:

"If it's not convenient for you, Director Yu, I'll reply to him now and decline."

Yu Mo waved his hand.

"It's fine, taking the time to get to know each other is good. After all, Director Chen is a senior in the film industry; I should have taken the initiative to get to know him, but instead, he had to bring it up."

"Good! I'll tell him right away!"

The reason Yu Mo didn't refuse.

Was mainly because of Wu Ershan.

Since Chen Chen Chen Kaige had approached him, he naturally let Wu Ershan act as the bridge. If he refused, it would make Director Wu's job difficult. Just getting to know each other was nothing.

Sooner or later, he would have to greet the seniors in the industry; coming earlier is more convenient.

Actually, Yu Mo had always wanted to meet a director, but he hadn't appeared in this circle for a long time, yet his works had been repeatedly appearing in various videos for ten or twenty years.

Thinking of that person, Yu Mo really wanted to get to know him.

It's just that he didn't know when they would have the fate.

Chen Chen Chen Kaige received Wu Ershan's reply, as if he had completed a major task, leaned back, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

"What a blunder."

"Arthur was clearly in the *Fengshen* crew, and I had already agreed with Old Wu before, yet I went through the trouble of asking about Yu Mo."

"It seems my information here is too closed off, and I can't keep up with many new situations."

"This won't do!"

"By the way, Old Wu's *Fengshen*, how could he actually move Yu Mo?!"

You know, the theme of *Fengshen* has been filmed to death.

Every time it's filmed, it dies.

And it's the kind that is completely cold, with no exceptions.

Initially, Wu Ershan had approached Chen Chen Chen Kaige and expressed the problem of insufficient funds, but Chen Chen Chen Kaige didn't think highly of this drama and advised him not to jump into the fire pit. And look, it hasn't even been two months, and Old Wu is already filming the second part with Yu Mo.

If Yu Mo has a bigwig from a hidden family abroad behind him, even if he films shit, it can sell like crazy!

No, I have to speed up the meeting.

At least I have to figure out who the person behind Yu Mo really is!

If there really is such a big tree, even having a chance to drink soup would be fine!

Thinking of this, Chen Chen Chen Kaige couldn't help but feel nervous again and immediately called the assistant in.

"You, hurry and check all the information about Yu Mo for me, including but not limited to everyone he has contacted in the last few years!"

"I want everything, the faster the better!"

Chen Chen Chen Kaige was excited and agitated, leaving the assistant stunned.

"Yes, Director Chen, I'll go check right away!"
