Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills
Chapter 220: Fame
"Da Mao, are you guys going home to visit your relatives?"
Chen Mu responded politely.
"Well, actually, I originally bought a villa for my family in the east of the city and wanted them to move there, but my parents refused. They only wanted to live in the courtyard house. I had no choice but to visit them regularly."
Xu Damao looked helpless, but he was actually showing off his wealth to other people in the yard.
Chen Mu smiled knowingly and responded, "The villa in the east of the city is nice. It's the most luxurious residence in the whole city. You have a good eye, Damao."
The high-end residential community under the Chen Group is praised by everyone because it is carefully built by the real estate company of the Chen Group and its quality is beyond doubt.
As a member of the company, Chen Mu has always emphasized that the details of the house must meet high standards.
Its unique design and high-end fashion sense make many wealthy people desire to own one, but unfortunately it is hard to find one.
During a casual chat, Xu Damao curiously asked Chen Mu: "Speaking of which, I wonder if you are working in the film and television industry now?"
In response, Chen Mu responded cheerfully: "I just want to find something to kill time. If you are free, you can come to visit me on the set."
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao happily replied: "This is really great."
Lou Xiao'e said to Chen Mu in surprise: "You really surprise me. How come you haven't changed at all over the years? You even look younger than our children."
Her tone was full of envy for Chen Mu's always rosy face.
Chen Mu smiled calmly: "I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and I have some knowledge in staying young.
By the way, my father's company is now planning to expand into the cosmetics field. I will prepare a few for you when the time comes. I guarantee that you will be radiant after using them."
Chen Mu’s cosmetics company has already started, and it uses the traditional Chinese medicine formula that he developed himself.
Once this company comes out, it will definitely have a huge impact on domestic and foreign cosmetics giants.
Currently, Qiangwei is in full charge of this business.
Lou Xiao'e said happily: "Really? Then I'll be waiting for it."
After a few greetings, everyone went home.
Liu Haizhong now also wears a suit. Chen Mu accidentally finds out that he has made a lot of money by reselling rebar.
Yi Zhonghai also benefited from this.
It is said that Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui are now in collusion with Li Huaide and are planning to smuggle televisions.
Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard the news.
Isn't this plot exactly the same as what's written in the book? This is indeed possible with the TV, but Li Huaide is setting up a bigger plan.
And now, Li Huaide has lured Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui into a trap by investing in rebar.
When Xu Damao and Chen Mu were drinking together at home, Chen Mu heard them talking about some of the situations in the Siheyuan in recent years.
Xu Damao saw Chen Mu laughing happily and asked curiously, "Brother Chen, what are you laughing at?"
"By cooperating with Li Huaide, aren't those people asking for trouble? Just wait and see, in the end, not only will they be defrauded of everything, I'm afraid they won't even be able to keep their house!"
Chen Mu said with a sneer.
Sha Zhu asked worriedly, "Is it really that serious? Should we warn them in advance?"
Chen Mu asked back, "Do you have too much money to spend? Then they will be left with nothing and might even blackmail you.
If they ask you to pay to redeem the house, will you be willing or not?"
Sha Zhu responded: "This...is impossible."
Chen Mu continued, "Anyway, none of this has anything to do with you, so why bother with this? Don't forget how they plotted against you in the past."
If Chen Mu had not secretly helped Sha Zhu to exorcise his inner demons with his Shuangquan Hands in the past, he would probably still be kept in the dark by some people.
Silly Zhu nodded and remained silent.
Xu Damao raised his glass and suggested, "Come on, let's drink this one and stop worrying about other people's business."
The three of them clinked their glasses, and Xu Damao said, "By the way, are your film and television works also as popular as this? Do you make money?"
Chen Mu smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Do you also want to try your hand at being an actor?"
Xu Damao said frankly: "I am also planning to try to enter the film and television industry myself. If I can make money, I also have the idea of investing in filming."
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Indeed, you can make a lot of money by making TV series, but you need a good director, a good script, and a good way to market.
For example, for "Journey to the West", I invested 50 million yuan, but the final profit was less than 20 million yuan, and it took me three years.
You should focus on your hot automotive industry. Transformation is not easy."
"To be honest, my purpose in making TV series is not just for money, but more for creating a classic that I can reminisce about in the future."
Xu Damao was also surprised to hear that Chen Mu invested 50 million at one time.
Although he has assets, 50 million is beyond his ability. Chen Mu's investment is really incomparable to ordinary people.
"The current filming of Dream of the Red Chamber has a relatively low cost, and I also invested 20 million.
After the filming of Dream of the Red Chamber is finished, I plan to start Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which will have a bigger budget.
Chen Mu said.
"I really can't afford this kind of investment."
Xu Damao said.
"If you want to try it, you might as well invest in some low-budget dramas, such as some family dramas. For such small investment projects, you can invest hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"We'll see when the time comes,"
Xu Damao said.
It was getting late and Chen Mu was about to leave.
"Where do you live now?"
Xu Damao asked.
"I usually live in the Imperial City, and occasionally at No. 19 Nanluoguxiang, because I run a clinic there."
Chen Mu replied.
"Okay, let's get together sometime."
Xu Damao said.
A few days later, Chen Mu returned to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Currently, the remaining filming content is less than one-third of the total script, and the next part will mainly focus on the Grand View Garden.
He Qing, Zhu Lin and Gong Xue had already completed their filming work and were just waiting for the final editing.
But now the three of them choose to stay in the crew and learn other relevant knowledge and skills, because they know that after the end of "Dream of Red Mansions", Chen Mu also plans to bring them into the crew of "Three Kingdoms" for filming, including "Water Margin". Chen Mu even has plans to film "Romance of the Gods".
It snowed heavily in Sijiu City in recent days, which provided a good shooting background for the crew.
In this way, even the scene of Wang Xifeng being arrested could be filmed at the same time, saving them the trouble of going to the Northeast to shoot.
Therefore, the crew's work progress was also accelerated a lot.
After several months of hard work, all the filming was finally completed.
The actors in the crew have formed deep feelings through their cooperation during this period, and now that the crew is about to disband, everyone is reluctant to let go, and this period of time will also be a precious memory in their lives.
The TV series was edited very quickly, and Chen Mu was the first person to watch the finished product. He thought that it was far superior to the previous version, from the scenes to the picture quality and sound effects, it was more than one level higher, and was completely at the level of a movie.
The music he composed for A Dream of Red Mansions also added a lot of color and splendor to the series.
This work is absolutely the pinnacle.
As the crew was about to disband, some people had already left early. In the evening, Chen Mu held a social party specifically for the crew members in the Grand View Garden.
Everyone expressed their true feelings in the evening and many people were moved to tears.
Although separation is necessary, it is for a better reunion.
Some female actors came to Chen Mu and urged him to drink, and Chen Mu accepted them all.
Upon learning that Chen Mu was going to invest in his next play, many people showed strong interest, especially the female actors.
Recently, they have spoken highly of Chen Mu. He is friendly, humble, talented, and especially young and promising. Many actresses are eager to get close to Chen Mu.
Don't underestimate contemporary women. Many of them are very proactive in relationships, and once they meet a man they like, they will pursue him bravely.
At night, many people got drunk and then went back to their rooms to rest.
After Chen Mu returned to the dormitory, he lay down and prepared to rest. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
He opened the door and found that the person standing outside was not Lin Daiyu, but Xiaoxu himself.
Chen Mu invited her into the house.
Under the influence of alcohol, Chen Mu suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms, and Xiao Xu responded without reservation.
Since there had been some physical contact during the treatment, and Chen Mu had taught her to play the piano hand in hand, the two had frequent close contact, and there was an unspoken understanding in each other's hearts.
Tonight, Xiao Xu also came to visit Chen Mu under the influence of alcohol.
They seemed to have a telepathic connection and soon ended up in bed.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that everything came to an end.
In the early morning, Xiaoxu snuggled in Chen Mu's arms with a happy expression on her face.
She said: "Lin Daiyu cried until she died in the play, but I don't want to have any regrets outside the play. Brother, I feel very happy now."
Chen Mu gently stroked Xiao Xu's hair, kissed her forehead, and said, "Then you can stay. No matter what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally."
"Thank you, brother, you are so kind."
Xiaoxu's eyes were gentle, which made Chen Mu feel loving.
"Brother, I have to go back to my room first. It would be bad if someone found me at dawn."
Xiao Xu kissed him gently, put his clothes in order, and left the room carefully.
The next morning, the rest of the crew also left.
In the end, only Chen Mu, Gong Xue, He Qing, Zhu Lin, Xiao Xu and Zhang Qing were left.
Everyone knew the relationship between them and Chen Mu, and instead of feeling jealous, they became good friends with each other.
Chen Mu settled them in the courtyard house at No. 49 Chaoyang, which was three connected courtyards and was large enough for them to live in.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" quickly passed censorship and was broadcast on television.
Although it did not cause a nationwide sensation like "Journey to the West", its ratings still ranked first.
After the show was aired, although it did not cause the entire city to desert like "Journey to the West", the ratings remained high and it received numerous praises.
"Dream of Red Mansions" undoubtedly achieved huge success, and the actors who participated in the filming also became famous because of the drama, and it was sung in various parts of the north and south.
