Su Mu returned to the company and was warmly welcomed by all employees.

In addition to Zhang Huaan, Xu Jiang, NNQT and Shang Yiyi, some new faces were also seen.

I heard Qian Jida say before that they are all some newcomers who have signed contracts and are ready to be trained in the future.

Looking at these young and immature faces, as well as those pairs of eager eyes, Su Mu couldn't help but recall his own time.

At that time, he was just like these young people, full of hope for the future.

I want to complete the hard training of idol trainees through my own efforts, get recognized by the company and the public, and move towards a bright star.

It's just that who would have thought that the unjust fate had deviated.

So much so that now I am far from the dream of the year, and I have accidentally exceeded too much.

Therefore, Su Mu felt that he had an obligation to help young people put an end to this crooked path.

Be a person, especially an entertainer.

It's better to be down-to-earth.

"Ahem, let me say a few words..."Su Mu looked straight and took out an attitude of being a boss: "I think at the beginning, I was also a newcomer to the company like you...... I once told the company that I must help the company earn 30 million a year! ”

Qian Jida: "??? ”

Zhang Huaan: "??? ”

Little Orange: "......"

Everyone: "!! ”

Su Mu: "Later, I did it! The reason why I was able to achieve later results was all due to my goals and ideals at that time! I always put the interests of the company first...... So let's work together to become bigger and stronger, and create brilliance! ”、

[Speech Proficiency +1]

[Skill +0.01]

Qian Jida: "......"

Little Orange: "......"

Zhang Huaan: "......"

Xu Jiang: "......"

Master Zhu: "Okay! ”

"The boss said it was good!"

When the newcomers saw Master Zhu, they all said it, and they also followed suit.

…

After giving a 'wonderful' speech to the newcomers.

Su Mu returned to his office with Qian Jida, Zhang Huaan and other senior executives of the company.

It's still a familiar furnishing, a familiar taste, and a spotless cleaning.

Everyone sat down one after another, and without too much greeting, they directly prepared for the meeting.

In fact, in the past few years abroad, they have basically communicated with each other in the WeChat group every day.

So there is no discomfort at all that kind of long-term lack of communication.

It can quickly enter the working state.

After all, although Su Mu's work in the United States has come to an end for the time being, this does not mean that they will stagnate in the future.

At least Su Mu himself didn't think that coming back was going downhill.

A few years ago, before reaching international influence, there might not have been any chance.

But now it is different, and now Sumu has become a household name around the world.

Many countries have his fans and audiences.

What he has accumulated in the United States over the years is not only money, but also his international influence and reputation.

And with such a premise as a foundation,

Su Mu believes that if he can come up with good works at this time, it will be much easier to go abroad than in previous years.

Of course, the premise is to first stabilize his top position in China.

When he came back, Qian Jida had already shown him what was going on Weibo.

Those top newcomers have all modified their Weibo signatures and statuses.

Although it is very obscure, and there is no evidence to be found, the slightest hint of provocation can be seen more or less.

Su Mu is very satisfied with this kind of showbiz full of gunpowder.

It's better to have bigger waves.

"The newcomers of the past two years seem to be interesting." Su Mu said with a smile after sitting down.

Heard the words.

Everyone also understood what Su Mu meant.

Zhang Huaan took the lead and said: "Indeed, these few are more outstanding and individualistic than the batch you were back then.

However, I have to admit that the current traffic and popularity are increasing faster than at that time, and the fans are even crazier.

The entertainment industry is like this, there is a big change in a few years, and it is likely that the tastes will suddenly change. ”

Su Mu nodded, and then turned his head to look at Xu Jiang: "Director Xu, here in the film and television department, are there any other dramas on hand recently?" ”

Xu Jiang: "Well, yes, the few scripts you gave me at that time have now been filmed to the last one, and I am ready to officially launch "Love Apartment 4" at the end of the year, but since I went to the United States, in fact, the domestic theme has also changed dramatically.

The previous few films were all tepid, but now they are all supported by the popularity of NNQT, which can make some of the newly signed actors show their faces.

But more young audiences are not particularly buying it. ”

Su Mu nodded: "What is the theme of this year?" ”

Xu Jiang took out his iPad, looked for it a few times, and pushed it directly to Su Mu.

"This is a big hit theme from last year to this year, and the most popular of them is the 'doctor' theme.

In the near future, there should be two that will premiere soon.

Among them, the most popular is "The Rest of My Life Medical Love" starring Xie Feiyu, Lu Chuxue is the heroine who participated, and the popularity is very high.

The other is Ren Jiaheng and Xiao Nai's..."

Xu Jiang said carefully.

After Su Mu took it, he looked down and saw that it was the introduction of the new drama revealed by the official accounts of some media.

"The Rest of My Life" and "My Summer in the ICU"...... Or is it in love? ”

Xu Jiang: "That's right, now the doctor category is more popular, but if you change the soup or not the medicine, the content is still not very good, but there will be some support for such themes on the platform and the official." ”

Su Mu nodded when he heard this, he could roughly understand what Xu Jiang meant.

The subject matter is something that will add freshness.

Some cities or ancient puppets will definitely get tired of watching the same.

And suddenly changing to a theme that needs to be very transformational will definitely become a hit.

So he is not surprised that this theme can become popular during this time period.

It's just that the profession of doctor still has strong requirements for professionalism.

If the content of the script does not match this profession, it will be difficult to make a good quality drama.

And from the titles of the plays in front of him, Su Mu can be judged in general.

The theme of doctors, but the focus is on love......

Looking at Su Mu who was thinking.

Qian Jida, who was on the side, added at this moment: "Xie Feiyu, Ren Jiaheng, Xiao Nai, and that Yu Zi'an should be the top male stars in the past two years."

Almost all of their new dramas are paired with the heroine of the traffic flower, and they join forces to fry the CP, and the popularity is full.

Therefore, if we are ready to follow the trend and shoot this kind of theme in the next step, it is actually very unfavorable from the perspective of the situation, and it may not be able to achieve too good results. ”

Xu Jiang behind him also nodded.

"That's true, we're not denying your current ability, boss, after all, you're an international movie star.

But even if you have such a value, if you don't have a good script and good content to match, it is very likely to be self-defeating.

I've carefully studied the subject matter of doctors, and if it's purely based on the love model, the things that come out of the shoot will not be nutritious.

If you also shoot, you will only lower your value, and even pull it to the same level as those traffic newcomers, and then the advantage will be gone.

After all, you also know that idol dramas are such a thing, and what the audience actually watches is not the acting, but more of the feeling of sugar inside.

So my suggestion is not to follow the trend, it is better to focus on the movie, and while there is still some time before the end of the year, you can prepare a Chinese New Year with a light investment, which is also very good. ”

Xu Jiang said very sincerely.

And everyone else nodded their heads, thinking it made sense.

In fact, everyone knows that what we want to discuss at this meeting is not the details of the company's operation, but to let Su Mu's next work get on the right track as soon as possible.

Because only when Sumu is stable, the company can develop well.

Zhang Huaan: "I agree with Xu Jiang's opinion, just came back, if you immediately prepare to follow the trend of popular themes and compete with those top students in the market, it is likely to cause a decline in word of mouth." ”

Qian Jida: "It makes sense. ”

“……”

They didn't think that Su Mu's popularity would be much worse than others.

It's just that before this, Su Mu had reached such a height in the United States, and at this time, if he filmed a TV series with particularly poor content quality and blindly followed the trend, then it was likely to be the beginning of the downhill road.

It's definitely not worth the cost.

Even if he doesn't do anything for the time being in the second half of the year, it's better than making a bad drama.

Su Mu didn't speak at the moment.

Naturally, he understood what everyone meant.

It's just that he stared at the doctor subject above, thinking about something else.

Is it really not, it seems that when he was drawing blind boxes not long ago, there was such a theme, but there were too many works drawn at that time, and he didn't care too much.

At the moment, I can only frantically flip through the panels.

Long

"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying." Su Mu suddenly raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile: "But the question is, why should we give up when we encounter such a super popular theme?" ”

“……？”

“……！”

Su Mu: "What is the popular theme?" That's money! A job that can make money is a good job! If we don't do this, wouldn't it be contrary to our company's core philosophy?

Word-of-mouth is indeed important, and popular fans are also important, but can these be compared to 'making money'?

Alas, I think it's been too long since I've been gone, and you've forgotten about the corporate culture one by one? ”

Qian Jida: "......"

Xu Jiang: "......"

Zhang Huaan: "......"

The crowd was silent.

Su Mu: "Tell me, what is the goal of our company?"

Earn money, earn more money, earn more money TMD.

So what is word of mouth? Is he something? Even if it's given to you, can you catch it? And it's hard to reconcile, you can't satisfy everyone.

Do you know why I want to give up the development of the United States and come back?

That's because I see the feasibility of the future market, if I continue to film in the United States, at most I will get a higher salary, that's all.

But I still can't make the core profits.

That's why I chose to come back because we're going to make a lot of money!

Nowadays, film and television dramas have been paid more attention by the industry, and there will be greater investment in this category, if we can also have long-form dramas that go abroad, the value generated can be much greater than what we see now.

It's all money, you know? ”

After finishing speaking, Su Mu looked at Xu Jiang: "What kind of car are you driving?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Jiang was stunned: "Last year... Bought Mazda. ”

Su Mu: "Let's get stuck in traffic." ”

Xu Jiang: "Uh... The second ring is quite congested. ”

Su Mu smiled: "We all drive Mercedes-Benz, Rolls Royce, you drive Mazda, no wonder you are stuck in traffic."

So what I want to say is that the theme of following the trend is actually nothing, as long as your stuff is more high-end and placed on any track, you can kill it. ”

Xu Jiang's face was black: "......?" ”

No, just talk, you use me as a metaphor, right?

Besides, is my Mazda humiliated?

My wealth is not exposed, it is thrifty!

At this moment,

Everyone listened to Su Mu's words, except for Qian Jida, they were speechless.

It's been three years, and I thought the corporate culture would change slightly.

However, what they didn't expect was that Su Mu hadn't changed at all, and he still ranked first in making money.

You know, there are billions of dollars on the company's accounts now.

A little more, and he will soon become the cash king of the entertainment industry.

How much money is that?

Long

Xu Jiang spoke: "Su Mu, even if you choose to play the theme of a doctor in the future, you must always have excellent content, just like you said, you have to drive a luxury car."

So, are you ready with the script? ”

Su Mu smiled slightly: "There is a script, but it still needs a period of preparation, and with the current equipment of our company's film and television department, it should not be able to complete my requirements, so I need to find some other people's teams to cooperate." ”

“！！！”

“？？？”

Got a script?

When was this?

This time, even Qian Jida was stunned.

He followed Su Mu the whole time, and he didn't watch this person write the script?

Xu Jiang looked at Su Mu's eyes, and his expression suddenly changed.

He knew that Su Mu must not be lying.

Because a few years ago, every time Su Mu pulled out an incredible idol drama script for him, this was the feeling!

…

The meeting ended quickly, and everyone went about their business.

Xu Jiang temporarily took the film and television department to continue filming the love apartment.

And Su Mu's next drama to follow, he has higher requirements, so he decided to find another crew.

As he said before, this time he came back not downhill.

Since I want to shoot, of course, the target is 'prison break', which can get the works on the international track.

After everyone left the office.

Only then did Su Mu take out the script from the panel that he had drawn the blind box before: "The Good Doctor (American Drama Version)"

This American drama, he actually watched it in his previous life.

It can be said that it is quite a wonderful TV series.

It tells the story of an autistic genius in the medical profession who happened in the hospital.

And the reason why it can be popular is that the whole process of the show is extremely professional.

Even China bought the copyright of Liangyi and filmed the Chinese version.

It is enough to see that this script is good.

Su Mu took out his phone while watching.

It's also time to tease old friends.

【Sumu quotation group:】

Su Mu: Brothers, what? I'm back!
