Chapter 345: Mission as a Filmmaker / Landing at Huaxia International Airport
Su Mu and Qian Jida's discussion ended late in the morning.
Xiao Tangerine told Su Mu all the top newcomers in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years.
And also focused on a few things she loves very much.
was a younger brother back then, and if he had become a real top-notch brother, he would still be a little emotional.
These people are younger than Su Mu and their group.
In a way, it's advantageous.
At present, the most popular among the public, except for Xie Feiyu of Tianxing Media.
There are also Ren Jiaheng of Huanying Entertainment, Xiao Nai of Giant Media, and An Ziyu.
In addition, there are many top-notch flowers now, such as Zhao Qianying, Lu Chuxue, Huang Yinchun, etc.
are all newcomers who have been thriving in the past two years, and Su Mu doesn't know anyone.
night
Su Mu lay on the bed, thinking about what would happen after returning to China, and looked at the panel.
At this moment, its own parameters and the skill points accumulated recently appear on it.
As for the little orange, he still listened to it somewhat.
He knows that even if he has a certain influence in the international arena now, there will still be some resistance if he wants to return to China to play in the new environment.
Now he is no longer alone, there is a large family of people in the whole company behind him.
If it was just him, there would be no need to worry about it.
Just take a few movies and shoot them, and you won't delay making money, there is no need to fight with the popularity of twenty-three at the age of thirty-three.
But the company has signed a lot of artists, and how well these people can develop in the future has a very direct relationship with him now.
If he can't continue to stand at the top of the stream, the heat radiating to his company's artists will be even less.
So Su Mu felt that this was his responsibility and should be done.
While thinking, Su Mu had already redeemed his skill points and was ready to open the blind box.
This time he's going to have a 30-game draw.
Since you want to go back and make some big moves, you have to draw more hole cards.
[Panel prompt: The blind box 30 consecutive draws are being dismantled......]

…
…
Early the next morning.
Su Mu and Qian Jida had just finished breakfast.
Lawrence took Linda to the hotel to look for him.
Knowing that Su Mu was leaving, Lawrence decided to take the last chance to conduct another interview with Su Mu.
"Everyone is going back, even if it's an interview, is there any point?"
In the lobby of the hotel, Linda asked.
Lawrence just pursed his lips and didn't answer.
To be honest, Su Mu didn't win the Oscar, and even he, a senior media person, felt a little surprised.
In his judgment, there is absolutely no problem for Su Mu to win the Oscar this year.
Whether it's the grades or his acting ability.
But in the end, he was just a nominee.
So Lawrence can more or less guess that there should be some other reasons for this, Su Mu did not compromise, so he finally missed the jackpot.
It's just these things, it's hard to say anything on the surface.
Because the wiring of judgment is originally a vague standard, it is difficult to achieve unity in who to give and not to whom.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Su Mu coming.
"Long time no see, Su Mu."
"Law, long time no see."
Su Mu responded with a smile, and then gave a warm reception.
During this time in the United States, in addition to William and Van Diesey, in fact, Su Mu should be the one who received the most care.
The two have had private contact, albeit a limited number of times.
But Lawrence has meticulously crafted almost every report on Su Mu, and it can increase his popularity and reputation.
It can be said that in the past few years, Su Mu has been able to quickly become popular and has a certain position in the world, of which a small part of the credit is attributed to Lawrence.
After all, Universal Pictures is still relatively important in the international film industry.
After a brief exchange between the two, they quickly got to the point.
Lawrence: "Su Mu, I really didn't expect you to choose to return to China at this time, your development here can be said to be in full swing, and even if you don't win the Oscar this year, if you want to think about it next year, there shouldn't be much of a problem, don't you think about it anymore?"
Whether it's Hollywood or companies like Manwei and Emperor C, their desire for you is not fake, are you really willing to give up such a big ocean? ”
Lawrence's words can still be heard full of regret.
He didn't think it was the right decision for Su Mu to choose to return to China at this time.
The so-called people go to high places, water flows to low places, in the film industry, at least so far, the world still has to focus on Hollywood.
And Su Mu obviously had already occupied a place here, and suddenly chose to give up.
It's a pity to be anyone.
And in the past few years, he has witnessed Su Mu come up step by step, such a capable and constantly surprising actor, he is really reluctant to let him go.
Su Mu listened to Lawrence's words, then smiled, and said lightly:
"Lawrence, thank you for taking care of me over the past few years, I know that you have poured a lot into every report about me, which I can feel, but I am still firm in my choice."
"Why? Do you think you don't have a good career in Hollywood? Or is it because you didn't win an Oscar this time, so you're a little discouraged? ”
Su Mu shook his head: "It's not like that, just like on Oscar night, a reporter asked me, whether to win this award now or not doesn't mean much to me."
And the real reason is that the more I feel the depth of your film industry in Hollywood, the more anxious and worried I will be about the development of our Chinese films.
I've learned a lot over the years, and if I don't bring these things back with me, and I don't influence my peers back home, then I'll feel guilty.
As a Chinese actor, I feel that I have a responsibility to dedicate the rest of my acting career to my country, so I decided to return to China at this time, even if this goal is difficult. ”
“!!!”
“……”
Hearing Su Mu's words, the surroundings suddenly fell silent for a moment.
Originally, the two of them who didn't understand Su Mu at first suddenly changed their eyes.
Lawrence gave Su Mu a deep look, then sighed.
"Su Mu, you said a reason that I can't persuade you anymore, I have to say that your consciousness makes me feel a little ashamed, and I also envy you for having such a strong sense of national belonging.
If this is the reason for you, then I definitely want to support you, and I also believe that if you go back to do this, it will really make the world pay attention to Huaxia Film and Television, I am looking forward to that day, maybe when the time comes, your work will compete with old friends in Hollywood on the international stage.
It's even more interesting to look at this way, isn't it? ”
Listen to Lawrence.
Su Mu also smiled.
Lawrence's eyes became solemn: "Su Mu, I'm really happy to be friends with you, you are the most idealistic and ambitious filmmaker I have ever met, and I look forward to you being able to take your culture with you when you go back and stand on the international historical stage again!" If I'm still working at Universal Pictures, trust me, I'll be appreciative of you and give you the best front page spot! ”
…
Lawrence's interview went on for almost a morning.
In addition to asking Su Mu why he went back, he also asked about some details of his life here, etc.
After all, it was the last face-to-face interview, so the content of the discussion was still relatively detailed.
After that, Su Mu rested at the hotel for another day.
On the third day, Willian and Van Diesey came over.
Originally, he said that he was going to have a farewell party in Las Vegas, but Su Mu didn't like the noisy atmosphere.
So in the end, they had to come and send each other off in person.
If you want to say that in the past few years of living overseas, there are no better friends than these two brothers.
As for Ben Martin, the old man of Manwei Company, and Nelson, the boss of Emperor C, although the negotiations are also very good on the surface, in fact, they all came together because of interests, and they can't talk about how deep the relationship is.
In the hotel room, Su Mu handed over the food delivery service.
There are many bottles of red wine on the table.
Fan Disai drank a glass violently, and then sighed a little and said: "Hey, Su Mu, I'm really a little reluctant to let you go, and I also want you to stay, do you know?" We're going to shoot 'Speed 456789' later.
But I am very angry at what they asked of you, and you really shouldn't have agreed.
I don't know why, if you really have to give up your face and cater to them in order to win the Oscar, then I will look down on you.
It's contradictory, you know. ”
Without waiting for Su Mu to reply, William pushed him and rolled his eyes.
"Okay Fan Disai, now that Su Mu has made a decision, let's not say these unlucky words."
After speaking, William turned his head to look at Su Mu; "Su Mu, I understand you, as far as I learned later, they should have wanted to invite you to play that kind of image-damaging role more than once, right? If you've been there once, maybe this year's prize will be yours.
So obviously, when they know that you can't cater to them and don't try to act out what they have, you won't get the recognition you deserve.
Of course, as a friend, I feel like you're doing the right thing.
It's just that if we go back this time, we may not be able to cooperate for a long time.
And you also have to be mentally prepared and put your mentality steady, maybe there will be a big gap.
You know, I don't mean to belittle it, but I have to admit that after you finished filming The Wandering Earth, there are no outstanding masterpieces that can be seen on the international screen.
Even if it's a TV series, this kind of long-form drama is on the rise now, it seems that there is no drama on your side that can get out of the circle.
So you should understand that if you go back, it will mean a regression, and the environment and quality will be greatly reduced, so you must be mentally prepared. ”
William was sincere.
Su Mu put down his wine glass, and then nodded: "Well, I know, so that's why I went back." ”
“……”
“?”
Su Mu: "Actually, the purpose of my original coming out was to earn more salary, and now I have done it, so now I have a new goal when I go back."
Maybe it won't be long before you see my work again. ”
The two were stunned at first.
Then they all laughed.
If someone else had said that, maybe they wouldn't have believed it.
But after all, the person in front of him is Su Mu, who doesn't even want his life when filming.
…
…
Five days passed quickly.
After Su Mu sorted out everything here, he got on the plane back to Huaxia.
On the day of departure, a lot of people came to the airport.
There are fans of Su Mu, as well as some domestic and foreign media reporters.
Many people know the news and travel time of Su Mu's return to China.
Regarding this, Qian Jida was not prepared to deliberately conceal it.
Since I decided to go back, I left generously.
At the same time, Lawrence's last interview was published in the Global Times on the day he boarded the plane.
Soon, many netizens at home and abroad paid attention.
Once again, there was a heated discussion online.
[IP Mi Guo: I didn't expect Su Mu to really return to China this time, I guess he was a little disappointed because he didn't win the Oscar. ]
[IP Mi Guo: To be honest, man, his acting skills are really good, and every film has a high box office, I really don't understand why this award can't be awarded to him, as a viewer of Mi Guo, I don't think it's fair to Su Mu.]
[IP UK: Did you read the interview with Universal? ] It seems that he didn't leave because of the Oscars, but has a bigger goal, but I don't want to pour cold water on him, but I have to say that if he continues to film in Hollywood, he may be able to stand higher, but when he returns to China, I doubt it. ]
[IP Mi Guo: It seems that in my impression, the more famous films in Huaxia are still on the wandering earth a few years ago, oh yes, this movie was also made by Su Mu himself, his consciousness and thoughts, I feel admired, but not to mention movies, but as long as I can make a TV series that can be put on the shelves overseas, I think it is already quite difficult, even if Su Mu is now very well-known internationally, but without Hollywood, it is nothing. ]
[……]
There is a lot of discussion about Sumu overseas.
And soon wore it back to Asia and China.
And Su Mu didn't care about these at the moment.
The person was already on the plane back.
…
…
A few days later.
The plane landed at Galaxy International Airport.
The pick-up hall is crowded with people......
