I have become top-tier, so I come to proficiency

Chapter 346: The mission of being a filmmaker lands at China International Airport

The discussion between Su Mu and Qian Jida ended very late.

Xiao Juzi told Su Mu all the top newcomers in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years.

And she also highlighted a few that she loved very much.

I was raising a younger brother back then, but if he has become a real top brother, I would still feel a little sad.

These people are younger than Su Mu and his group.

From a certain perspective, it has advantages.

At present, the most popular one among the public is Xie Feiyu of Tianxing Media.

There are also Ren Jiaheng from Huanying Entertainment, Xiao Nai and An Ziyu from Giant Media.

In addition, there are many top-notch little flowers now, such as Zhao Qianying, Lu Chuxue, Huang Yinchun, etc.

They were all newcomers who had become popular in the past two years, and Su Mu didn't recognize any of them.

at night,

Su Mu was lying on the bed, thinking about what to do after returning to China, and looked at the panel.

At this moment, his own parameters and recently accumulated skill points are displayed on it.

He still listened to some of Xiao Juzi's words.

He knew that even though he now had a certain influence in the world, there would still be some resistance if he wanted to return to his country and enjoy the new environment.

Now he is no longer alone, there is a whole family of people in the entire company behind him.

If it was just him, there would be no need to worry at all.

You can just take on a few movies and make money without losing any time. There is no need to compete with those who are twenty-three at the age of thirty-three.

But the company has already signed many artists. How well these people can develop in the future has a very direct relationship with him now.

If he cannot continue to stay at the forefront, the heat radiating to the artists of his company will be even less.

So Su Mu felt that this was his responsibility and he should do it.

While thinking about it, Su Mu had already redeemed his skill points and was preparing to open the blind box.

This time he was going to do 30 consecutive draws.

Since we are going back to make some big moves, we have to draw more cards.

[Panel prompt: Blind box 30 consecutive draws are being selected...]

[Tip: The blind box has been disassembled!

Film works:

"God of Gamblers", "The Hand of Young and Dangerous" and "The Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots"

"The King of Comedy" and "Big Shot"

TV series:

"The Good Doctor (US Version)", "Soldier Assault" and "Heroes"

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Tunnel War", "Blade 1937"

"…"

...

...

The next morning.

Su Mu and Qian Jida had just finished breakfast.

Lawrence took Linda to the hotel to find him.

Knowing that Su Mu was leaving, Lawrence decided to seize the last opportunity to conduct another interview with Su Mu.

"Everyone has to go back, so even if the interview is done, is there any point?"

Linda asked in the hotel lobby.

Lawrence just pursed his lips and did not answer.

To be honest, even he, a senior media person, felt a little surprised that Su Mu did not win the Oscar.

According to his judgment, there is absolutely no problem for Su Mu to win the Oscar this year.

Whether it's his grades or his acting skills.

But in the end he was just a nomination.

Therefore, Lawrence could more or less guess that there should be some other reasons. Su Mu did not compromise, so he missed the grand prize in the end.

It's just that it's hard to say anything about these things openly.

Because the wiring of the judgment is originally a vague standard. It is difficult to unify who should be given and who should not be given.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Su Mu coming over.

"Long time no see, Su Mu."

"Lao, long time no see."

Su Mu responded with a smile, and then entertained him warmly.

During this period in the United States, apart from William and Vin Diesel, in fact, the one who Su Mu received the most care from was probably Lawrence.

Although the number of private contacts between the two was limited.

But almost every report Lawrence wrote about Su Mu was carefully crafted and could increase his popularity and reputation.

It can be said that in the past few years, Sumu has quickly become popular and has a certain position in the world, and a small part of the credit is attributed to Lawrence.

After all, Universal Pictures' position in the international film industry is still relatively important.

After the two had a brief exchange, they quickly got down to business.

Lawrence: "Su Mu, I really didn't expect that you would choose to return to China at this time. Your development here can be said to be at its peak, and even if you didn't win the Oscar this year, if you think about it next year, There shouldn't be much of a problem. Why don't you think about it more?

Whether it's Hollywood or companies like Manwei and DiC, their desire for you is not fake. Are you really willing to give up such a large ocean? "

Lawrence's words can still be heard full of regret.

He didn't think it was the right decision for Su Mu to return to China at this time.

As the saying goes, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. In the film industry, at least so far, the world still has to focus on Hollywood, the United States.

And Su Mu had obviously occupied a stronghold here, but suddenly chose to give up.

It would be a pity for anyone else.

And in the past few years, he has personally witnessed Su Mu's progress step by step. He is really reluctant to let go of such a capable actor who constantly brings surprises to people.

Su Mu listened to Lawrence's words, then smiled and said lightly:

"Lawrence, thank you for taking care of me in the past few years. I know you have invested a lot in every report about me. I can feel this, but I am still firm in my choice."

"Why? Do you think it's not good to develop in Hollywood? Or are you a little discouraged because you didn't win an Oscar this time?"

Su Mu shook his head: "That's not the case. Just like when a reporter asked me on Oscar night, it doesn't mean much to me whether I will win this award or not.

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 for the development of our Chinese films.

I have learned a lot in the past few years. If I fail to bring these things back and influence our domestic colleagues, then I will feel guilty.

As a Chinese actor, I feel it is my responsibility to dedicate the rest of my acting career to my country, so I decided to return to China at this time, even though this goal is difficult. " ˆ ˆ ˆ "! ! ! "

"..."

After hearing Su Mu's words, the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a moment.

The two people who didn't understand Su Mu at first suddenly changed their eyes.

Lawrence took a deep look at Su Mu, and then sighed.

"Su Mu, you gave me a reason why I can no longer persuade you. I have to say that your awareness makes me feel a little ashamed of myself, and I also envy you for having such a strong sense of national belonging.

If this is the reason for you, then I will definitely support you, and I also believe that if you go back and do this, maybe the whole world will turn their attention to China Film and Television. I am looking forward to that One day, maybe your work will compete with old friends from Hollywood on the international stage.

It's more interesting when you look at it 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 ideal and ambitious filmmaker I have ever met. I look forward to you taking your culture with you when you go back. Stand on the international stage of history! If I am still working at Universal Pictures at that time, believe me, I will definitely appreciate you and give you the best front page position!"

...

Lawrence's interview lasted almost all morning.

In addition to asking Su Mu the reason for going back, he also asked some details about his life here.

After all, this is the last face-to-face interview, so the content of the discussion is still relatively detailed.

After that, Su Mu rested in the hotel for another day.

On the third day, William and Vin Diesel came over.

It was originally planned 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 to see her off in person.

When it comes to living overseas in the past few years, the real friends I have made are none other than these two brothers.

As for Martin, the boss of Manwei Company, and Nelson, the boss of Emperor C, although they negotiate very well on the surface, in fact, they are all brought together because of interests, and it is not to say how deep the relationship is.

In the hotel room, Su Mu handed over the room service.

There are many bottles of red wine on the dining table.

Vin Diesel took a sip, then sighed and said: "Hey, Su Mu, I'm really reluctant to let you go, and I also want you to stay, you know? We will also shoot 'Speed ​​456789' later. Woolen cloth.

But I feel very angry about the request they made to you. You really shouldn't agree to it.

I don’t know why, but if you really have to give up your face and cater to them just to win an Oscar, then I will look down on you again.

It's contradictory, you know. "

Before Su Mu could reply, William pushed him and rolled his eyes.

"Okay Vin Diesel, now that Su Mu has made a decision, let's not say these unlucky words."

As he finished speaking, William turned to look at Su Mu; "Su Mu, I understand you. According to what I learned later, they should have wanted to invite you to play roles that harm your image more than once, right? But if you If you go there once, maybe this year's grand 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 think, you won't get the recognition you deserve.

Of course, as a friend, I think you are doing the right thing.

It’s just that when we go back this time, we may not be able to cooperate for a long time.

And you also need to be mentally prepared and keep your mentality stable, maybe the gap will be huge.

You know, I don’t mean to be disparaging in any way, but I have to admit that after you finished filming The Wandering Earth, there haven’t been any outstanding Chinese film and television dramas that can be watched on the international screen. .

Even for TV dramas, with the rise of long-form series now, it seems like you don’t have any dramas that can be produced in the industry.

So you should understand that if you go back, it will mean a setback, and both the environment and quality will be greatly reduced. You must be mentally prepared. "

William said it sincerely.

Su Mu put down the wine glass, then nodded: "Well, I know, so that's why I went back."

"..."

"?"

Su Mu: "Actually, the purpose of my coming out was to earn more money, and now that I have achieved that, I have another new goal when I go back.

Maybe it won't be long before you see my work again. "

The two of them were stunned when they heard this.

Then everyone laughed.

If someone else said this, they might not believe it.

But after all, the person in front of him was Su Mu who didn't even risk his life during filming.

...

...

Five days passed quickly.

After Su Mu sorted out everything here, he got on the plane back to China.

On the day before leaving, many people came to the airport.

There are fans of Sumu, 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 point, Qian Jida was not prepared to conceal it deliberately.

Now that I have decided to go back, I will go openly.

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 on the Internet.

[IP Miguo: I didn’t expect that Su Mu would actually return to China this time. I guess he was a little disappointed because he didn’t win the Oscar. ]

[IP America: To be honest, man, his acting skills are really good, and every movie has a high box office. I really don’t understand why this award cannot be awarded to him. As an American audience, I think it’s right. Sumu is not fair.]

[IP UK: Did you read the interview with Universal Pictures? It seems that he did not leave because of the Oscar, but because he had a bigger goal, but I really 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 responded with suspicion. ]

[IP America: It seems that in my impression, China’s more famous film was The Wandering Earth a few years ago. Oh, by the way, this film was also shot by Su Mu himself. I admire his consciousness and thoughts. But let alone movies, I think it is quite difficult to produce a TV series that can be released overseas. Even if Su Mu is now well-known internationally, if he leaves Hollywood, he will have nothing. Not any more. ]

[......]

There is a lot of discussion about Sumu overseas.

And it quickly returned to Asia and China.

At this moment, Su Mu didn't care about this.

People are already on the plane back.

...

...

a few days later.

The plane landed at Galaxy International Airport.

The airport pick-up hall is crowded with people...
