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

Beijing City, Outlet Film Projection Building.

now,

After Wang Taiming received the call, his expression became a little complicated.

Got to his level.

Naturally, he knows the circles behind the scenes in the Chinese entertainment industry.

He could probably guess some things without saying them explicitly.

As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire.

Su Mu stole the show this year, and ended up intercepting Han Junxi's Best Actor Award.

That will naturally be targeted by ‘Nas’.

Maybe even considered a future competitor.

I have to say that Su Mu and Han Junxi do have some similarities.

Idols come from a top background, but their talents are not inferior to those of majors, and their popularity and box office performance are in the top ten. It is difficult not to compare them together.

But that’s the entertainment industry.

It can be as small as actors competing for resources and fighting overtly and covertly.

It’s as big as competition in the box office market and capital games.

Things are fine when they are not on the same track, but if they find that there is a competitive relationship, they will have to worry about it and even use some extraordinary measures.

Just like the overseas movies that Wang Taiming purchased by himself were swept away by Su Mu's "Xin Qiji", he also used some capital methods.

But later I found it was useless, so I gave up.

Now if you can't beat it, just join, but it will create higher profits.

I am really a genius CEO.

Wang Taiming thought about it, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

But let’s quickly get back to today.

Zhai Hong asked himself about Su Mu's information. He generally understood it, but in fact the other party just wanted to see Ole's attitude towards Su Mu.

In order to avoid having a confrontation with Sumu in the future, it is better to know the depth and be prepared.

The investment company Nass has a huge background, and the various subsidiaries and controlling shareholders are intricately connected. A small part of the entertainment industry is more or less related to them.

So it is not difficult for them to win a top spot.

But on the other hand, it also means that if they want to suppress a top player, it is also very simple.

For example, relying on means to suppress the box office, or cutting off the other party's resources.

You can also wait for the other party to make a mistake, and then find the right opportunity to use the navy to create greater public opinion, and so on.

And Sumu's current special popularity is certainly not suitable for creating public opinion.

But after this period of time passes, it will happen that next year his second part of The Wandering Earth will be a living target.

I thought of this level.

Wang Taiming couldn't help but be a little worried. After all, Langqiu 2 and their outlet also had investments.

On the phone, he didn't say much to Zhai Hong.

He just told him that Ole had cooperated with Su Mu, and that Su Mu had a deep background.

As for how deep it is, let him guess.

Hang up the phone.

Wang Taiming found Su Mu's WeChat account, organized the language, and sent him a string of text.

But I haven’t received Su Mu’s reply yet.

The company received a message from senior shareholders and was preparing to hold a meeting.

No more guessing.

At this time of the emergency meeting, 80% of them had heard some rumors, so they were worried that the investment would be wasted.

…

…

Su Mu had already won the grand prize and followed Qian Jida and others back to his hotel.

I should have come back earlier.

But after all, he won the best actor award, so he still accepted a lot of interviews after the award ceremony.

Even though they were just scene talk, he definitely couldn't miss the opportunity to brush up on his proficiency. Basically, he would accept everyone who came, and he would talk for more than half an hour.

in the living room,

Qian Jida, Xiao Juzi and others have not yet recovered from their excitement.

You know, when they founded the studio with only four people, they never imagined that it would reach the point where it is today.

They really just think that if Su Mu can receive a few hit idol dramas every year, it will be considered a hit. Even if he can't go very high, at least his annual income should not be too bad.

But look at it now.

Today's studio has completely exceeded its original size.

Su Mu can also win the Chinese Best Actor, which can basically be said to be a firm foothold in the film and television industry.

Xiao Juzi took pictures frantically with her mobile phone: "Boss, boss! You are so awesome. When I saw you winning the award, I suddenly felt that my brothers are no longer good. Talented artists are more handsome."

Qian Jida thought deeply on the sidelines: "Don't say it, Xiao Juzi is right. You can't go very long with your good looks. There will be a cycle of a few years and then it will go downhill. But if you want to stay top-notch, you have to be serious." Using real materials is definitely the only right way.”

Su Mu laughed in his heart after hearing what the two of them said.

I believe you two ghosts.

At first, I didn’t know who it was and spent money to create a character for myself, but now things have changed.

Su Mu: "You two are about the same. Are you so enlightened? Isn't it because I can raise my salary after winning the Best Actor Award?"

"Ahem, who is it? You're not talking about me."

"Neither do I. I'm seriously happy."

The two started to act stupid.

Regarding the shame of these two people, Su Mu also completely gave up.

If we want to talk about the real talents among them, then they belong to these 'two girls'.

There was a fuss for a while.

Qian Jida continued: "Su Mu, we are laughing, but to be honest, I am actually a little worried about what Ai Yanran said.

This Han Junxi is not a kind person. Although many people in the industry have good reviews of him, most of them are only compliments because of the capital company behind him.

I have been in this industry for so many years, and I have heard some news. When Han Junxi debuted, there were actually many very good artists at the same time as him, but in the end, none of them were spared, and almost all of them were hidden.

Moreover, some of the competitors he encountered after his debut also had their deeds targeted. Although he seems to be a very good person in the eyes of the public, those of us in the industry can still see clearly.

This time you won the Best Actor, I always feel that Han Junxi may have some opinions on us. "

Su Mu listened to Qian Jida's words.

Still nagging as always.

However, it is necessary to be cautious. After all, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.

If you have been in this circle for a long time, there will be no good money left.

Besides, I will start filming The Wandering Earth II next year.

Ding.

While Su Mu was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.

He lowered his head and saw that it was a WeChat message from Wang Taiming.

[Wang Taiming: Su Mu, congratulations on winning the Best Actor Award. I didn’t want to disturb you at first, but I still have to tell you something.

The CEO of Nas in China called me just now and asked about some things about you. I didn't say much, but it seems like they are paying close attention to you.

In addition, Han Junxi, who was nominated together with you, is owned by Nas, so you should understand some things without me telling you. If nothing else, I will tell you. ]

Su Mu looked at Wang Taiming's WeChat and smiled in his heart.

Should I say it or not, Wang Taiming is quite capable. At least he sent me a WeChat message.

Think about it.

He edited one and sent it back.

…

…

At this time, inside Ole's building.

Wang Taiming is having a meeting.

A few shareholders were present, but those who did not were directly video-recorded.

Everyone began to discuss investment projects for the past year.

And as we talked, we finally talked about Su Mu’s science fiction movie next year.

"Our outlet has always been independent in the industry. No matter what happens in the future, it is better to develop steadily."

"Yes, to be fair, the return on investment for Su Mu's movie next year should not be too small, but I heard some rumors that Nas seems to have some opinions on Su Mu. Su Mu just happened to win the best actor award at today's award ceremony. , originally they might have planned to give this award to Han Junxi to help him lay the foundation for expanding overseas markets in the future, but it was blocked by Sumu."

"If they target the box office of Langqiu next year, it is likely to affect our return rate. Although Outlet has theaters, even with Huayi, our two major theaters may not be able to raise the box office much. high."

"Wanmeng, Jiahe, Jingsheng Oriental, these major theater chains all have Nas' controlling interests."

at this meeting.

Many shareholders expressed their opinions.

And their opinions are actually quite pessimistic.

After all, everyone here is also a person in capital.

Therefore, they have a better understanding of what capital can achieve.

On the scale of Nas, if you want to control the box office of a movie, at least in China, no one can do it better than them.

They have invested for so many years, and their business landscape has become very mature.

If one really wants to target someone, even if it is Ole's level intervention, it may not have any good effect.

At this moment, listen to the board of directors.

Wang Taiming frowned slightly.

From his professional point of view, once there are risks in investment, it is very likely that the upper limit of investment will be reduced, or the investment will be directly withdrawn to avoid risks.

After all, capital is all about profit. Since the risks are relatively high and there is even a possibility that they will not be able to get their money back, they will not have any hesitation.

But Wang Taiming himself, to be honest, he still believed in Su Mu.

Although I can't come up with any very valid reasons.

But I don’t know why, but I just habitually feel that if it’s Sumu, there shouldn’t be any big problems.

After all, Ole's original attempt to target him was unsuccessful.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly rang.

Then he looked down and saw the WeChat message that Su Mu had replied to.

Wang Taiming was stunned for a moment, then clicked on Su Mu's WeChat reply.

[Su Mu replied: Oops, thank you Mr. Wang for your concern. Thank you. But to be honest, I only realized now that it was an excuse to talk about the Best Actor so much, but there is nothing I can do about it. If something like this happens, it just happens. right.

I can understand that if this is the case, our follow-up film "The Wandering Earth 2" may not be successful at the box office, and there will be great risks. We cannot rule out that Nas Investment Group may cause trouble.

So I thought about it, why don’t you Ole think about it and invest more in me?

You see, as the old saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the return. It’s good to have risks. Trust me, just add money at this time! Additional investment! I will definitely help you earn a vote! ]

"!!!"

Seeing Su Mu's reply, Wang Taiming almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Damn it!

The rest of us are worried about the box office success of your movie.

It turns out that this guy is so nice that he wants us to add more money?

Do you think we are fools, or are you stupid yourself?

Wang Taiming was stunned for a while.

But suddenly he remembered something.

It seems that someone in the 'Quotation Group' said that once Su Mu wants to increase money, he will definitely have to do something big.

And based on his understanding of Sumu's past, after he increases the salary, the final box office results of the film will be very strong.

So what does Su Mu want to do with this additional investment?

Is there any solution? Or should I say, this guy really has a super strong backing and doesn’t care about Nas at all.

He raised his head and glanced at the people in the conference room.

Wang Taiming typed a few words on his cell phone.

[Wang Tai Ming: How much? ]

[Su Mu replied: (乛乛) Not too much, not too much. I think that since The Wandering Earth 2 is going to be filmed, it will naturally have to be filmed at the highest level of our Chinese film industry. So I have thought about it. You guys Another 50 million for each person should be enough. ]

grass!

Seeing what Su Mu said, Wang Taiming almost crushed his phone to pieces.

Another 50 million?

The original investment in this movie was more than one billion, so it was basically burned out during the preparation period?

Previously, the investors in their group each took out 100 million, and Su Mu himself also took 500 million.

So it may continue to burn in the future.

After all, Ole, Huayi, plus the three video giants, each will get another 50 million, that is 250 million, and Sumu himself will also need to add another 50%.

A movie costs 1.5 billion to make?

If this cost really doesn’t do well at the box office, how can we get it back?

[Wang Taiming: No, are you sure? In my opinion, among domestic movies, there are only a few second sequels that can earn more box office than the first one. I think it would be good if your second sequel can reach over 30. ]

[Su Mu replied: Well, I expect it to be about the same. ]

[Wang Taiming: What else do you want to add? Cost reduction is the right way! ]

[Su Mu: No, I don’t like to hold back when doing things. Besides, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Let me ask you if you want to take the money. Mr. Wang, if you don’t believe it, let’s play a bet. If I To protect the capital, you don’t take the profits, only the principal. If I don’t protect the capital, even if I lose, I will bear it with you. ]

"..."

[Wang Taiming: Go away, can you be more serious about gambling? You must not be holding anything back, um... Are you sure this is the last time for 50 million? ]

[Su Mu: I will try my best to do it for the last time. ]

[Wang Taiming:...]

[Su Mu: Oh, that’s it. I’m adding money for the last time. Really, there aren’t too many costs to spend. I just want to buy a building. I’m afraid I don’t have enough money, so I need to pay more to be safe. ]

[Wang Taiming:? ? ? ]

[Su Mu: Just kidding, okay, then I’ll take it as your promise. ]

[Wang Taiming: Su Mu, don’t forget what you said, I believe you this time! Try your best! ]

[Su Mu: Mr. Wang is awesome! ]

Finished chatting on WeChat.

Wang Taiming turned off his phone.

Then he took a deep breath and his heartbeat began to speed up.

Facing the many directors in front of him, he knew that the next step was a tough battle.

Thinking back to when he joined the Outlet Group after studying abroad, every investment he made at that time was at the forefront and his heartbeat was racing.

But now that I am older, I no longer have the same passion as before.

But since he met Su Mu, he felt as if he had regained the feeling of investing on a roller coaster.

Maybe this is life.

There is always a person with light who will illuminate you and tell you that he wants to buy a house. Help him ask for more money...ah! What the hell.

Wang Taiming shook his head and stopped his chaotic thoughts.

He stood up suddenly and looked at everyone.

"Everyone, let me tell you a few words about Wandering Earth Investment... Oh yes, Xiao Zhang, go order a takeaway."

Wang Taiming continued: "Everyone, let's analyze it carefully. In fact, we should invest more of this money..."

"!!!"

"???"

…

…

…

A few days later.

Su Mu took Qian Jida and others back to Galaxy City, taking advantage of the New Year to prepare for the matter of the media company...
