This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 46 - Time to Cash in the Performance Card
Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Time to Cash in the Performance Card
Chapter 46 -46 Time to Cash in the Performance Card
Lin Qingyue didn’t avoid the topic, nodding, “It’s partly because of Wu Mu, after all, the topic of him dating Mo Mo is hot. Riding on his popularity makes sense.”
Originally, she planned to take the opportunity in this episode to set up Wu Mu as the guest celebrity boyfriend for a while, so that she could leverage the heat of Wu Mu and Mo Mo’s dating topic.
However, who would have thought that there was no need for the production team to come up with a way, as Wu Mu managed to be the celebrity boyfriend for the entire episode on his own.
This was naturally even better, riding on the popularity was more justified.
Curious, Lin Qingyue asked Wu Mu, “What’s the situation between you and Mo Mo now?”
Wang Xiaotian and Lu Yao’s eyes brightened immediately, gossiping towards Wu Mu.
Wu Mu spread his hands, “There’s no situation, you guys think too much. Mo Mo and I are just friends.”
Friends?
Wang Xiaotian smirked, hoping they really were just friends.
Not getting any sensational news, Lin Qingyue didn’t ask any further but told Wu Mu, “This episode airs on the 26th, and we’ll continue recording the next one on the 27th.”
The 26th?
That’s next Friday?
Wu Mu nodded, indicating he understood.
…
After the recording was finished, Wu Mu flew back to his little nest.
“Not bad, earned six hundred points this episode!”
Looking at the system’s screen, Wu Mu nodded in satisfaction.
[Points: 1351]
Before going to the recording, he had 732 points, and this session had earned him 619 points.
“It’s a pity that Star Agency’s viewership and popularity completely can’t match that of the singer-songwriter groups, otherwise my points would be even higher.”
He felt a bit regretful.
If he were still in the singer-songwriter groups, with so many shots this episode, his added points could have easily reached a thousand.
“I wonder if the viewership will increase a bit after the new episode airs, giving me more points.”
Wu Mu speculated.
But he didn’t dare to be too optimistic. Though his performance in the episode was quite effective, it would be too much to say that he alone could boost the viewership.
In the entertainment industry, whether or not something catches fire doesn’t totally depend on quality.
There are countless entertaining programs in the industry that can’t match some poorly produced ones.
“Forget it, let Lin Qingyue worry about those issues; I’ll earn my points.”
Wu Mu decided not to fret and went on to draw his prizes.
As usual, an exciting moment of drawing rewards after completing the recording.
“System, buy me three white treasure boxes!”
He didn’t dare to spend too much, as it had just been a slight increase in resources. Better to save a thousand for emergencies.
The three white treasure boxes were lined up in front of him.
He waved his hand grandly, opening them directly.
[Congratulations on winning attribute points, Constitution +1 reward.]
[Congratulations on winning the song—”Wukong”.]
[Congratulations on winning a prop—Performance Card (Ten Million).]
There were no golden props, but they were still pretty good.
First was his Constitution; with this point, he now had 73 points.
One step closer to a robust physique.
Then there was the song “Wukong,” a song he quite liked from his previous life, of high quality.
“With this addition, I still have three unused songs on hand.”
The initially drawn “Pleasing to both Refined and Popular Taste,” the second-time drawn “I Remember,” and now “Wukong.”
Since there hadn’t been a suitable occasion to perform them, he hadn’t used them.
“Once I’ve saved up more, not lacking in reserve, I can directly make an album to sell.”
Although this kind of money isn’t as easy as winning from the system, in the long run, it’s something sustainable enough to last a lifetime, so it shouldn’t be overlooked.
After the songs came the Performance Card.
With this one, he now had three ten-million Performance Cards on hand.
“Need to find a project to realize them.”
After receiving the props, Wu Mu pondered and contacted Jiang Qian’s father, Jiang Nantian, whom he had met at the program yesterday.
…
Jiang Nantian was surprised when he received Wu Mu’s call.
He thought the previous remark by Wu Mu about contacting him later was just an excuse, not expecting an actual follow-up.
Could it be that he really wants to do the daily necessities business?

Jiang Nantian pondered.
It wasn’t strange for celebrities to engage in side businesses, as many stars managed their own.
However, Wu Mu focusing on their daily necessities industry seemed a bit irrational.
Jiang Nantian shook his head slightly.
But soon, he realized that working solely on daily necessities was probably more rational.
“Uncle, I want to customize a batch of high-end daily necessities, things like cups, towels, hangings, etc., a bit more refined in style, classy looking, can you do it?” Wu Mu cut to the chase on the phone.
High-end daily necessities?
Plus, ensuring a refined and classy style?
Jiang Nantian was taken aback, almost thinking he had misheard.
Consumption was already downgrading nowadays. They were struggling to survive even with prices below their profit margin, and Wu Mu wanted to make high-markup products?
Jiang Nantian was speechless, “Wu Mu, are you filming a show again?”
Wu Mu laughed, “No, uncle, I really want them.”
Speaking such nonsense when not filming?
Jiang Nantian’s brows furrowed deeply, beginningto doubt his judgment of Wu Mu.
He thought Wu Mu was reliable, but now he had said such outrageous things.
Jiang Nantian didn’t want to beat around the bush, “Wu Mu, let me tell you the truth, engaging in daily necessities is a near-death experience, high-end ones are a dead end.”
He rarely spoke in such absolutes, but anyone with a little understanding would know how preposterous Wu Mu’s idea was.
He wanted to make money too, but he was more afraid Wu Mu could end up bankrupt, unable to even pay the final installment, leading to disputes.
He advised Wu Mu, “Xiao Wu, you are oversimplifying daily necessities, it’s not that easy to succeed in, and a newcomer like you making high-end products has no path forward.”
The market did have room for high-end daily necessities; there were still plenty of wealthy people worldwide, some of whom would buy a cup worth hundreds or even a thousand dollars.
But wealthy people aren’t fools; when buying high-end daily necessities, how could they opt for a brand they’d never heard of?
A large part of such high-markup products is actually the brand premium.
A new brand like yours has no brand premium.
Why would customers buy something that looks like a tax on their intelligence?
Jiang Nantian thought Wu Mu’s ideas were far-fetched.
But for Wu Mu, worrying about who would buy his products was never an issue.
He naturally customized goods with Jiang Nantian to realize the Performance Cards.
The Performance Cards could be used with the endorse-products or advertisements under his name.
So as long as he endorsed them himself, he could use the Performance Cards.
If purely for realizing returns quickly, then low-cost daily necessities would be the fastest.
But his Performance Cards added performance, not profit.
If sold in Jiang Nantian’s mass volume method, his three Performance Cards might not earn a dime, instead, they could result in a big loss.
So to make money, he had to sell high-markup products.
And with the system’s guidance and marketing, he didn’t have to worry about not finding buyers at all.
