I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

Beijing City, Jianghe Film and Television Company.

There were several people sitting around the large conference room.

On the projection screen at the back, there are illustrations and group plans.

The most eye-catching one is the big title: "The Ghost Turns Out the Lights in the Ancient City".

Someone suddenly said:

"You really dare to ask for fifty million? The one before was only two thousand and five thousand."

"Su Mu's agent gave him the price quoted in the past two years, which is relatively low."

"The cost of our film is not low, and his salary will reduce our later expenses."

Having said that.

The conference room was silent for a long time.

In fact, many people understand this theme of tomb exploration.

Most of the money is spent on post-production special effects.

Some large-scale scenes require the most realistic scenes, which may consume a lot of energy and resources during shooting.

The theme of tomb exploration is exactly the opposite.

In the early stage, you only need to go to some places that are consistent with the original work.

As for the important part of going to the tomb, you can completely create a fake scene indoors and then use green cloth special effects.

Nowadays, many scripted killing scenes and escape rooms are very well done, and some of the mechanisms are also very realistic.

Therefore, the demand for the shooting environment is not high, and the real money is spent on post-processing.

"Director Xu Jiang, this film has been in preparation for more than a year. We investors definitely don't want to just shelve it, but we still need to be more conservative in selecting people this time."

Xu Jiang looked at the information in his hand and remained silent.

As the chief director of this drama, I have actually been more miserable than anyone else over the past two years.

Originally, investors and producers wouldn't say anything about choosing a male lead.

But maybe because of the previous accident, the entire crew is nervous now.

And the price of sumu is 50 million.

Obviously there is some hesitation on the part of the investors.

Of course, including himself.

Xu Jiang felt a little depressed. Looking back on his directing career over the years, it was very unsatisfactory.

The movies I filmed in the past were tepid and lukewarm. When soliciting investment, I would say something ugly, just like Sun Tzu.

And now I finally have an interesting script in hand.

As a result, something like that happened halfway through.

Xu Jiang really wanted to cry but had no tears.

This time they decided to look for Su Mu, who was also recommended by people in their director circle.

Everyone said that this actor is excellent and very popular, and he can definitely turn this show around.

But Xu Jiang, including the producers, are skeptical for the time being.

No one can be sure how things will unfold from now on.

Thought for a long time.

Xu Jiang: "This price has indeed reduced the later costs. Why don't we look at others..."

"Director Xu."

While Xu Jiang and others were discussing.

The crew suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Xu Jiang: "What's wrong?"

"Director Xu, take a look at the hot searches."

Xu Jiang was slightly startled when he heard this: "Hot search?"

Xiao Zhou: "Yes, it's from Sumu."

I heard the assistant’s reminder.

Xu Jiang and others looked at each other, a little confused.

I don’t understand why I’m looking at his hot searches.

But I still took out my phone and took a look.

But then, everyone was attracted by the hot search terms.

Hot search 1: S/s

Hot search 2: Sumu, Xin Qiji hot!

Hot search 3: The black material guy’s picture is indeed Sumu!

Hot search 4: This is the hero Xin Qiji!

Hot search 5: Film critics start a group, will there be no Xin Qiji after Su Mu?

Hot search 6: Sumu did not disappoint us!

Hot search... Super words # : It's not that the movie "War Hero" is not good-looking, it's just because he is Xin Qiji!

Hot searches…

In the conference room at this moment.

Everyone stared blankly at the hot searches on their phones.

Almost everything that can be seen on the home page is covered by Su Mu and Xin Qiji.

Xu Jiang and everyone present also knew about the big online movie "Kiwi" released on the shelves.

After all, they are all people in the industry.

But in their view, no matter how popular it is, it is nothing more than a big network.

I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to make waves.

Besides, there are also several foreign movies released in outlet theaters during the same period.

Under such contrasting circumstances, it is difficult to gain widespread recognition.

Not to mention being slapped down by the foreign film industry, but at least it will be considered shoddy.

The reputation of the Internet University has always been like this.

Anyone in the industry doesn't think this show can reach such heights.

However, it was only one day.

This is the moment of slap in the face.

Su Mu’s Xin Qiji is completely popular.

Even covering all the heat they could see.

If it was a pure operation, then naturally there would not be seven or eight hot searches at the same time. At most, there would be two that lasted for one day and then ended.

However, these current ones are not.

It was obviously promoted by the comments one by one from netizens.

Even a number of well-known film critics have posted comments on the film "Xin Qiji".

[Comment:

Yang Shen v: I have commented on Su Mu's ancient puppet show before. At that time, I just thought Su Mu had great potential, but his Xin Qiji this time has conquered me. I want to make it clear that this drama is good and worth watching. look! What we lack is this kind of good drama about national heroes!

Werewolf movie review v: It is well known that I am a werewolf and I have always had a sharp tongue. Even if it is a drama where stars gather together with veteran actors to play mahjong, I will be critical. But this time for Su Mu’s Xin Qiji, I chose to take a different approach. I will not advocate his performance. How good. I just want to say that Xin Qiji's film is worthy of waking us up. We don't want to watch Western heroism. What we want is the heroic attitude shown in films like Xin Qiji's!

Mao Binge Drama V: I originally thought that Sumu was just a puppet ceiling, but this drama was completely overturned by him. Sumu’s tension plasticity is quite powerful! He could even have more room to shine! I look forward to whether Sumu will present more exciting roles in the future?

Zhuang Yan v: On behalf of the professor at Beijing Film Academy, I am still very touched by Su Mu’s Xin Qiji. In recent years, our popular film culture has actually been looking for a form of expression that can form a cross-section with foreign film culture. But it has never been satisfactory, but with the success of Xin Qiji's online movie, I see hope! We need such actors, such a team, and such content to enhance our own cultural output!

Official V of the Ministry of Culture: Xin Qiji is an important historical hero. He has the spiritual will of our Chinese descent and is worthy of understanding and recognition by the younger generation. The Ministry of Culture will include the film "Xin Qiji" and give it to Xin Qiji's crew and @Su MuV likes these outstanding young actors! ]

Xu Jiang: "!!!"

Producer: "!!!"

Everyone: "!!!"

At this moment, everyone in the conference room was silent.

In fact, the hot searches and comments are all the same, nothing more than praise and praise.

But these venomous film critics, including senior figures from the film academy, all came out to support the team.

Finally, the official account of the Ministry of Culture came out to like Sumu!

This is a bit awesome.

a long time.

"Looking at it, Sumu costs 50 million...it's not much."

"I heard that the show Kiwi cost 70 million to hire him."

“It’s worth it to have this kind of response.”

The crew below were discussing.

Xu Jiang suddenly raised his head with firm eyes: "Our crew must have this sumu!"

Producer: "Director Xu, you have to think carefully. There will be no additional investment. If you choose him, what will be compressed is the quality in post-production."

Xu Jiang nodded: "The one with two thousand and five thousand in front is not compressed, but what's the result?"

Producer: "That was an accident."

Xu Jiang shook his head: "No, it's because it's cheap but not good."

"..."

"..."

Xu Jiang: "Sumu is expensive, but being expensive must have its own benefits. An Internet giant dared to spend 70 million to find him, and finally won a big victory. We have such a good subject matter, and if we go to him, we will only It’s even more powerful than a tiger, I, Xu Jiang, will bet on it this time!”

Kiwi Association Building.

In the same location in the office, Zheng Quan was in two different states compared to the previous day.

After Xin Qiji premiered, the background data took off immediately.

The number of new users and daily active viewers completely exceeded expectations.

Including the current popularity of everything on the Internet!

Zheng Quan felt that he looked like a god of war in front of the board of directors today!

The tone of asking for money is simply worse than... than Sumu!

Although he didn't understand why Su Mu's figure appeared in his mind unconsciously when he thought of the metaphor of asking for money.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, taking this opportunity, their kiwi fruit was commended by the Ministry of Culture.

When the superiors were happy, they immediately granted an extra 200 million yuan for the next year's funding approval.

Rich and wealthy, after all, still very wealthy!

What can we do with an extra two hundred million?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Zheng Quan decided to go out and play.

Take out your phone.

Opened the [Sumu wood quotation group].

Zheng Quan: Well done Sumu! A great victory, a great victory! Hahaha!

ten minutes later.

(Zheng Quan: 200 red envelopes for luck)

Sumu wood collection

Zhang Huaimou received

Zhao Zhouming received it

Received by Yu Hong

Received by Chen Anzhi

Liu Qiangxi received...

Zheng Quan: Damn, I can collect red envelopes faster than anyone else! come out!

Zhang Huaimou: Congratulations! I watched the film and it was quite good. Sumu did not disappoint!

Chen Anzhi: Thank you Director Zhang for your recommendation.

Zhao Zhouming: Zheng Quan, are you too stingy?

Yu Hong: Your kiwi fruit business has gone crazy in the past few months. Just two hundred?

Zheng Quan: Don’t argue. You had a great time last year with the four Penguin TV series and the street dance variety show at the oil depot in the first half of the year. Why didn’t you watch the big one?

Yu Hong: That’s all in the past tense, let’s talk about the present!

Zhao Zhouming: I also know Ole. The reputation of the foreign films he has this time has been completely destroyed by your Xin Qiji. What else do you want?

Zheng Quan: Oh, come on, I just remembered something. I asked the board of directors for money this morning, and I accidentally got an extra 200 million next year. You said this is causing trouble. I really don’t like spending money. But the boss is forcing me to spend money outside, which makes me sad~.

Zhao Zhouming: Cao... can't stand it anymore.

Yu Hong: Slipping away.

Su Mu: Haha, thank you boss!

Zheng Quan: Su Mu, why did you come out? Are you confused by the praise from fans? You're about to take off! The person from the Ministry of Culture personally praises you!

Su Mu: Mr. Zheng is joking, a little kid like me can only work for a living, unlike you who can earn hundreds of millions just by opening your mouth.

Zheng Quan: Su Mu, where are you talking? You are my brother. Can I not take you with me if I have something good to do? Just say that I have 200 million idle now. If you have a good project, I will be the first to invest!

Yu Hong: Wait a minute, will you vote if you say so? I am Su Mu’s first brother, and if we want to vote, we Penguins will vote first!

Zhao Zhouming: Do you really think my oil depot has no money?

Zhang Huaimou: Su Mu, if you write a good script again, Huayi will invest in setting up a team for you, and I will personally lead the team to help you shoot. Anyway, there is nothing much to do in the past two years.

Zheng Quan:......

Zhao Zhouming:......

Yu Hong:......

Liu Qiangxi: Ouch, I grabbed the most, 58 yuan and 8! Haha, thank you! ~

Yuan Zheng: "666"

Chen Anzhi: "666"

Outlet Film Venture Capital Building.

At this moment, Wang Taiming and all the staff in the office were watching the video played on the projection TV.

It is certain that you will feel dissatisfied.

But Wang Taiming also wanted to know where they lost.

So I directly signed up for a VIP membership and watched "Xin Qiji 1162" which beat their "War Hero" on demand.

At the beginning, everyone's evaluation was unanimous.

The picture is average, the scene cannot be said to be huge, it is barely above average.

However, with the appearance of Xin Qiji played by Su Mu!

Everyone followed his lead.

Originally he was dressed in plain clothes and armor, but Su Mu had a special and handsome look about him.

When I first saw it, I couldn't take my eyes away again.

Even if he is unkempt, he still has an indescribable smell.

Then there were fierce fighting scenes, and Su Mu's sword was very smooth.

Moreover, in every fighting scene, the movements are very coherent and hearty.

There are not too many cuts to interrupt viewing.

This means that he did all this alone, without a substitute.

However, what really moved Wang Taiming's heart was when Xin Qiji practiced swordplay late at night.

That sentence of being drunk and burning the midnight oil while watching Jian Meng Hui Trumpian Battalion...

His goosebumps stood up instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mu rode into the Jin Army camp... Such a domineering feeling and strong integrity!

That can't be created by just special effects and industrial technology!

This is the spirit that flows in the blood.

Until the end of the story, when I saw Xin Qiji failed to lead the rebel army to victory and was regretting on the cliff with his white hair,

Almost everyone present sighed secretly.

Even some female colleagues’ eyes turned red and tears were about to flow out.

Wang Taiming looked on expressionlessly.

Try to calm down a little bit.

In fact, if it weren't for Ole's stance, he almost stood up and applauded the movie.

Because it does shoot well.

And this kind of good is exactly what special effects technology is difficult to achieve.

For a moment, he seemed to know where he lost.

The two are not on the same level at all.

This network is huge and has a soul.

And for a work with a national soul, it is impossible to defeat it.

now,

The screen was filled with barrage messages.

[Barrage:

This is Xin Qiji! Tribute to every hero!

Tribute to our own heroes! The mountains and rivers are still there, wish you peace!

Whether it is history or the suffering we have suffered, heroes are the ones that our generation should praise! Thanks for the movie!

Salute to the heroes, our nation has risen. If there is an afterlife, this prosperous age will be as you wish!

Come on Sumu! What a great performance, 2023.6.19, Tao**! ]

There is no comparison in the barrage.

Not to mention that people belittle the war heroes here because of Xin Qiji's success.

Some are just the inner purification and upgrade of the younger generation of viewers after the film has been sublimated.

a long time.

Wang Taiming suddenly laughed at himself.

Then he stood up and looked at the employees: "Okay, that's it for today. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. I have to admit that this sumu has two brushes.

Let’s take a day off today and go back to summarize. We have to make plans for next year again.

I suddenly have a feeling that maybe in the future our own cultural themes in China will have a larger market, and outlets must make arrangements in advance.

in addition,

I went to contact Su Mu’s team, and after getting familiar with him, I conveyed: Ole hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate, and I admire him very much. "

PS: Thank you for your support! There will be more later!
