Wuge's full-blown ambition was completely extinguished by just a few words from Suming, so much so that he wasn't even interested in hearing what the actual story was. The story itself really didn't matter; as long as it was a horror film, both the content and the ending of the movie were destined to be the same: a bad end.
A bad end it would be, but since Suming was funding it, Wuge wasn't planning to make much from it anyway, and losses wouldn't fall on his head.
In the end, Wuge still helped Suming establish the initial team, and at first glance, the lineup was actually not bad.
The producer, Taoyuan Entertainment Company. The producer, Wuge himself. Both of these had significant recognition domestically.
