Du Yang still respects Mu Ming's wishes, and since he emphasized it that night, he really didn't ask him to participate in any drinking parties.

Of course, it may also be because Mu Ming's "mascot" function of matchmaking was completed and was "crossed the river and demolished".

It doesn't matter, it's just clean.

Before the Spring Festival, Mu Ming finally ended all the filming tasks of "Ace Agent". To be honest, this is really the most worry-free work Mu Ming has made in recent years. The preparation of the crew has already been completed, the acting performance of the actors has also passed, and Disney is responsible for everything during the filming, he doesn't need to worry about anything, as long as he is responsible for shooting the camera well.

Of course, everything is yin and yang, and the opposite side of filming is that the director's rights have been reduced a lot.

It's no wonder that many Hollywood directors and producers had such serious conflicts before, if it weren't for Mu Ming's efforts before the start of the project, he would probably have become a "filming machine" only responsible for shooting footage, just like those directors.

After the shooting, the rest is naturally the post-editing and production. Mu Ming has long been transferred from China to her usual post-production team, not because she wants to fight for anything, but because these people are used by themselves.

In terms of post-production, you don't need the director to keep an eye on it, otherwise you need professional post-production personnel such as editors to do something. Therefore, after Mu Ming has formulated the idea of editing and her own needs, she can let go.

It just so happens that he can also take advantage of this time to return to China, not because he is lazy, but because there are more important things waiting for him - this year's Shuimu Annual Meeting, he needs to go back to participate.

Many companies like to engage in annual meetings. Smaller companies often prepare a few shows with their own employees, and larger ones invite a few celebrities to stand on the stage. As for the coffee seat of the celebrity invited, it depends on the scale of the enterprise and the generosity of the boss.

Of course, as a film and television company, especially because of the innate advantages of Mizuki, employees usually see a lot of stars, so they are not keen on celebrity meetings or anything, but are more interested in year-end bonuses, annual party lotteries, etc.

However, Mu Ming is not talking about the company's annual meeting. Of course, he will also participate in the company's annual meeting, but the administrative and logistics departments of the company are responsible for the specific matters, and he only needs to show up and send some benefits or something.

Anyway, for most middle and low-level employees, corporate beliefs, spiritual culture and anything are not as good as the year-end bonus.

What he really needs to pay attention to is the New Year's meeting, which includes several shareholders and management, to summarize last year's earnings and discuss New Year's plans.

In addition to Mu Ming, there are also three "Shuimu Big Three" like Du Yang, Chen Zhixi, and Li Juan, as well as four or five other senior managers, as well as Wanda Pictures, Tencent Entertainment, "Banana Project" and several other shareholders.

Mu Ming went to his main seat, looking at the mighty twenty or so people in the conference room, and he still had a little bit of a point.

Except for Mu Ming, all of them are veterans in the business circle. Everyone knew what the purpose of today's meeting was, so they didn't greet or greet too much, and after Mu Ming's simple two opening sentences, they went straight to the topic.

The first to discuss the income from films, Mizuki has produced, participated in investment, and undertaken the distribution of film works in the past year.

produced "Room", "The Return of the Great Sage", "Wolf Warrior", "Pancake Man" and "Monster Hunt", as well as "Lao Paoer", "Heart Labyrinth" and "Scorching Sun", a total of eight movies have been released, with a total box office of more than 7 billion.

Of course, there are naturally not so many people who can actually get their hands, and the one that really belongs to Mizuki is twelve or three billion. Counting the backlog of funds between the theater lines, the real recovery is only seven or eight billion.

As for film and television dramas, although the "Battle of Changsha" and "Unborn" broadcast on the stars have an excellent reputation, the popularity is not high, and the profit is not too large; Especially in the middle of the year, a "Signal" that sparked heated discussions among the whole people was directly named "the first drama of the year".

In comparison, Mizuki's achievements in film and television dramas last year were far inferior to movies. However, in fact, several dramas, including "Langya Bang", "The Pretender", "A Smile is Alluring", "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", "Residual Sins" and other dramas have already been filmed, but they are all backlogged until next year.

After all, there are Wanda's theaters on the movie side, and there will be some care for the film schedule or something. But on the TV station, Mizuki's influence and connections are much smaller, so many TV dramas are queuing, even if they can cut the queue, they have to wait a lot of time.

But it doesn't matter, Mizuki's brand has been played, and we all know that the ratings of the TV series produced will not be bad, so there will basically be no such project that will be pressed for four or five years.

This treatment, in addition to the high quality maintained by Mizuki, naturally relies more on Mu Ming's "precise vision". Anyway, now the industry's vision of Mu Ming is already widely recognized, which has made a lot of contributions to Mu Ming's influence in the circle.

It's a pity that the validity period of Mu Ming's plug-in is less than two years, and so far I haven't found a place to renew.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Shuimu who leaves him will not be completely blinded when the time comes, Mu Ming is ready to start preparing to set up a professional planning and analysis department, and the company's future projects will be selected by this analysis department. I relied on the surviving memory advantage to make directing judgments, and I believe that after two years, I should be able to hone it.

In general, Mizuki still maintained a rapid development rate last year, and because of the cooperation with Tencent and Wanda, it has further broadened its resources and channels.

As for Mu Ming herself, through a Cannes film session, she not only won a Chinese Cannes film queen after 22 years, but also won the most heavyweight award so far. Coupled with the good reputation of "Room" and his contact with Hollywood, his status in the film industry has improved a lot.

If Mu Ming was still a young director or a rookie director before, then now he has broken away from this category and has begun to have a position to compete with those well-known directors.

Since it is a New Year's meeting, it is natural that it is not only a summary, but also a plan for the new year.

In terms of movies, there are only two films at present, "Detective Chinatown", which has just been released, and "Riding the Wind and Waves", which will be released during the Spring Festival.

As for film and television dramas, if all the dramas in Mizuki's current backlog are broadcast, it will basically be enough to contract the time period of the whole year, and you can see eating dumplings from eating dumplings to eating zongzi to eating moon cakes and then to eating dumplings.

Film and television dramas and movies or something, in fact, it doesn't matter if you discuss it or not, anyway, Mizuki is Mu Ming's absolute holding, and no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants. However, other projects, because there are many places that need the cooperation of several other companies, so we focused on the discussion.

In fact, in addition to film and television projects, Mizuki also participates in projects such as games, variety shows, live broadcasts, and community platforms. Objectively, it is actually a bit of an imitation of Tencent's closed entertainment chain. It's just that Tencent relies on the huge number of users brought by social software, while Mizuki relies on the continuous supply of content in film and television.

In fact, Du Yang also talked to Mu Ming about this issue in private.

"If it can be five years earlier, or even three years earlier, Mizuki can do more, but in the current environment, Mizuki's current development has basically entered a bottleneck, and it is difficult to improve substantially. ”

Therefore, if Mizuki wants to expand again, he will either start to develop horizontally and continue to open up new growth points in the surrounding areas outside of film and television, or he will step on the chariot of capital and enter the bloody battlefield of the capital game. ”

Du Yang's words are to put it bluntly: Little brother, you are late, the territory on the top floor has been divided by those big guys, and you have to go to grab the land with the big guys, or take up more space on the lower floor.

If Mu Ming is twenty years older, she may be very interested in trying to grab land with the big guy. But now Mu Ming thinks that she is not the opponent of these capital tycoons, so she has really chosen the path of horizontal development.

For example, in terms of games, Mizuki and Tencent teamed up to poach Brandon Green. This bearded uncle is the producer of H1Z1, a battle royale game that has been very popular recently, and of course, he is also the producer of the later "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" game.

There are also variety shows, last year, Mizuki and "Banana Project" and Dragon TV jointly created "Extreme Challenge" was a big hit, relying on sophisticated production and the general trend of outdoor variety shows, the popularity has caught up with "Run", which has already filmed the second season.

The success of the teacher obviously gave Xiao Wang a lot of confidence, so this year, in addition to the second season of "Extreme Challenge", there will be two variety shows on the agenda.

One is "Longing for Life" in cooperation with Mango Satellite TV. One of the most likely situations in the domestic film and television industry is that they like to get together, and the popularity of "Let's Run" and "Extreme Challenge" will inevitably drive the blowout of a large number of "competitive" variety shows, and it will soon cause the audience's aesthetic fatigue. At this time, a "slow variety show" with a relaxed atmosphere is launched, and it will naturally stand out.

As for the other project, it is "Star Detective" with Mu Ming's "selfishness". said that it was with "selfishness", mainly because Mu Ming overrode the public opinion and set this variety show as an online variety.

Before Mu Ming was reborn, he had heard the news that "Ming Detective" was preparing to go to the star, although he didn't know what the specific situation would be, but he himself was not very optimistic about it anyway. Not to mention anything else, just "Shuangbei CP", one of the backbone of the show, Sabeizhan can't appear on other satellite TVs, which is very fatal.

Can't you move this show to CCTV for broadcast, right?

The star version of "Popular Law Column Drama"?

Summing up and planning, Mizuki's New Year's meeting was still very successful, after all, last year's profit was still a lot. It can be seen that everyone is a real person, and as long as they make money, they can say anything.

However, Mizuki's New Year's meeting is not over, and after this one, there is also a meeting of Mizuki's film and television department and planning department.

This meeting was placed after the Spring Festival, and the content to be discussed was the establishment of the Sin Slayer Alliance, which was the most important project for Mizuki in the next year, or in the next few years.
