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

Chapter 123 Did we make a mistake? Brother, this is not a scenic spot (big chapter)

After settling the agreement with Li Rong.

Su Mu didn't go anywhere, just rested in the hotel all day.

Originally, I decided to meet Zhang Huaimou first and wanted to ask him some questions about film investment banking.

Su Mu plans to try to move closer to the big screen starting next year.

It would be great if you can get a movie subject that pays well.

If not, he actually has a good script in his hand, which can be used as a stepping stone, or he can try to make a bet on it himself.

But he is a newbie after all.

If you want to maximize your profits, you should listen to the advice of famous directors like Zhang Huaimou.

But unfortunately, Qian Jida received an invitation from Jianghe Film Company.

Director Xu Jiang said he wanted to meet Su Mu as soon as possible.

It would be better to finalize the contract as soon as possible.

So after much deliberation, Su Mu finally decided to go meet Xu Jiang's crew first.

After finalizing all the work for next year, I will go and have a good chat with Zhang Huaimou.

This time I came to Beijing, the business pressure was actually quite high.

Because after careful calculation, the salary for the new drama is 50 million, plus 6000 for the car endorsement.

This trip is almost a 100 million project.

"Well, it's not easy to make some money these days. It only costs 100 million to travel here and there."

Su Mu was eating cherries and suddenly sighed.

Qian Jida: "...?"

Little Orange: "...!"

Master Zhu: "Oh."

…

Jianghe Film and Television Company.

The location is located in the Film and Television Industrial Park in the outer ring of Beijing City.

It is very close to the Beijing Film and Television Foundation, so it is very convenient whether it is filming or recruiting extras.

In fact, there are countless film and television companies, large and small, in this park.

It is different from top film and television investment banks such as Huayi Outlet.

There are many small film and television companies here, most of which are leather companies.

A small number of them are established as units of production crews, or are studios like Sumu that really have business to undertake.

As for the rest, it's not easy to say.

There may be some dreamers out there who have dreams.

There are also some who are just pretending, relying on the reputation of film and television companies to cheat on food and drink, and fool the ignorant boys and girls who have just graduated and have dreams of becoming stars.

In short, there are three kinds of religions and nine streams.

Taking off the coat really has nothing to do with being tall.

But the only advantage is that the rent here is much cheaper than in the urban CBD.

…

The commercial vehicle drove into the park.

Stopping at the last park building, Su Mu, Qian Jida and others got out of the car.

This is actually not the first time Su Mu has been here.

The first time I worked with Zhang Huaimou on Kuangdong was at the Beijing Film and Television Base.

The hotel I stayed in at that time was nearby, so the environment was relatively familiar.

There are a lot of idle people around with signs at the moment.

They are not laborers, but foremen of group performances. Most people have dozens of people to arrange.

Su Mu was wearing a hat and a mask, so no one recognized him.

Then I saw a few people coming out of the building and saying hello warmly.

"Su Mu, Mr. Qian, hello, I'm Xu Jiang, the assistant director of the crew and a partner of Jianghe Films."

Su Mu heard the sound and looked over.

In front of him was a middle-aged man, wearing round-rimmed black-rimmed glasses and a boxy shirt full of plaids. He looked like a down-and-out artist.

Xu Jiang's reputation in the industry is not as good as Zhang Huaimou and Chen Anzhi.

The key point is that many movies are lukewarm. In fact, depending on the face, not many people may really know them.

Su Mu also asked Qian Jida to find Xu Jiang's photos in advance to be prepared.

"Hello, Director Xu Jiang." Su Mu responded.

Xu Jiang smiled and nodded: "I talked to Mr. Qian on the phone before, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly. It's great. Please come in quickly and come to the company first."

While talking, Xu Jiang led Su Mu and others into the building.

not far away.

Half of a head poked out of a minivan, then retracted.

Xiao Li: "Boss, they're in!"

Xiao Zhang: "The person who just came down to receive me seems to be a director, right? What's his name?"

"Xu Jiang."

Sun Liaojun gave the correct answer.

In terms of professionalism in the entertainment industry, he is quite good.

Then he smiled proudly: "Let me just say that Su Mu's purpose of coming to the capital this time is not simple. He first went to the headquarters of China Wuling to let a big boss like Li Rong say goodbye, and now he comes to the film and television base... I'm afraid it won't be until next year. There’s something big going on.”

Xiao Li: "Boss, does Su Mu have a new show this time?"

Xiao Zhang: "Director Xu Jiang greeted me, are you working with this Xu Jiang?"

Sun Liaojun said nothing.

The car was quiet for a few seconds.

Then the three people's eyes widened!

I seem to understand something.

Xiao Li: "Could it be the one that Xu Jiang was planning to shoot last year? I remember that the male lead had an accident, and it was quite popular at the time."

Xiao Zhang: "I'll go, does Su Mu really dare to pick it up?"

Sun Liaojun's eyes narrowed.

But he still couldn't hide his excitement.

If I really took that role.

This is a genuine aniseed!

Which car brand Bisumu endorses is much more exciting.

Xu Jiang's film actually caused quite a stir last year.

Of course, it was mainly the male star who had the accident.

Originally, this drama was still attracting much attention.

Many people expect that person to perform well, and he is about to enter the field of big screen, and he is a rising star.

The result was surprising.

Of course, there are also people who want to take this opportunity to replace them.

But later, the controversy on the Internet became too great, and the crew had no choice but to postpone it.

I just didn’t expect that I would be ready to restart filming now.

And what I’m looking for is Sumu!

Sun Liaojun excitedly lit a cigarette:

"It's finally time to feed him. As expected of Su Mu, if you have to choose, choose someone who is controversial enough. Either way, he will succeed or be scolded. This is his style. He is courageous."

Xiao Li: "Boss, I think this Su Mu is very courageous."

Xiao Zhang: "With his current traffic, there is no need to accept this hot meal."

Sun Liaojun shook his head and exhaled smoke from his mouth, which was unfathomable.

"No, you two are still young when you think about the problem. In this circle, the kind of people who can really reach the top of the tower often do not move up steadily, but jump when the opportunity comes.

The conditions that allow people to jump must be controversial. It is dangerous to take risks, but once successful, the benefits will be greater than imagined.

Many big names in the industry make a desperate move to reach the top of the box office with one movie, thus ushering in their own era, and Su Mu is just such a person. "

Xiao Li: "That's it!"

Xiao Zhang: "I thought Su Mu chose it because the script was good."

Sun Liaojun smiled: "I know people like Su Mu best. It is his nature not to take the ordinary path. It is very likely that he will go to the dome in the future. In short, follow him closely and you will get money again!"

…

Jianghe Film and Television Company.

At this moment, Su Mu didn't know that Sun Liaojun outside was commenting on him like this.

In fact, the reason why he chose this drama is very simple: because of the script.

Followed Xu Jiang to the office.

Then everyone took their seats.

Also present were Jianghe Films' partners and deputy directors, plus a representative from an investor.

After a few simple polite words.

Xu Jiang went directly to the topic: "I think you already know some things, so I won't say more. This drama is in such a situation now. Although your offer of 50 million is a bit expensive, I am willing to take a gamble, but One thing I want to tell you clearly is that playing Hu Bayi may put you under a lot of pressure, especially in terms of public opinion."

Su Mu smiled: "Don't worry, Director Xu. Since I can quote this price, I will naturally bear any impact caused by this."

Xu Jiang didn't expect that Su Mu would be so calm, and he was even more appreciative in his heart: "I feel relieved if you can do this. We can sign an agreement at any time."

Su Mu: "There is no rush to sign the contract. Director Xu, I would like to know what stage of preparation the crew is at?"

Xu Jiang: "Currently, the film and television base has set up scenes. I can take you to see them later."

Su Mu suddenly stood up: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go directly to the filming site."

Xu Jiang: "Now?"

Su Mu: "Of course."

Everyone: "!!!"

Everyone was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Su Mu would go immediately.

It turns out that this is a practical person.

Xu Jiang did not refuse Su Mu's request.

The few of them didn't chat for long before they got up and took them downstairs and drove straight to the film and television base.

In fact, Su Mu chose to watch the scene, but in fact he was also a little worried.

Many times, no matter how good the subject matter of the script is.

But the filming and production were careless.

In the end, it was the end of the street.

The core of the Tomb Exploring series, or the essence that attracts audiences.

It’s the degree of restoration of the tomb exploration scene.

It can be said that if the restoration of the scene is perfect, then the show will have been half successful.

In this kind of film, what the audience expects is to experience the tension of going to the grave.

In addition, there are intricate suspense clues and so on.

And if it finally appears, it will be a horse flying directly with Victoria wings on its back.

Then you just need to find ten more skilled actors.

In the end it was a mess.

…

Ten minutes later.

Everyone arrived at an interior studio at the Beijing Film and Television Base.

This studio is very big.

All entrances outside are sealed with black cloth, and you need to go inside to see the panoramic view.

Su Mu followed Xu Jiang in.

Immediately afterwards, I was attracted by the scenes built inside.

To be honest, it was far higher than he expected!

It can be seen that Xu Jiang's dedication to this drama may be much greater than Su Mu thought.

What comes into view is the rockery and stone walls, and then is surrounded by a dark tunnel. Walking in, you can hear the sound of mechanical welding and spray painting. It should be that workers are still making scenes.

But most of the prototypes are already quite perfect.

There are passages in the tomb, mysterious statues around, various passages that are unknown as to whether they are a dead end or a way to live, as well as coffin props and so on.

If it weren't for the occasional staff members passing by.

It's really a bit spooky.

But in the innermost part, Su Mu also saw a temporary ancient tower. The real scene was like a mysterious ancient city.

Every mechanism and detail made is of good quality.

Su Mu walked inside and looked at the secrets hidden in the mechanism. For a moment, he forgot that he was here to visit. It was really interesting.

rear,

The partners and investor representatives who came with them whispered to Xu Jiang:

Partner: "Director Xu, I don't think Su Mu is anything special. Aren't many young and handsome actors like this? Anyway, it's you who made the decision yourself, and you have to suffer the consequences. If the expectations are not met, Jianghe will Movies and TV are finally over.”

Investment representative: "Perhaps Su Mu is worth the price, but the protagonist of this drama actually costs less than 50 million. If half of the cost is used for post-production, and with the scene you built, it can be very popular. I think Director Xu You may have been impulsive this time."

At this moment, the two of them spoke to Xu Jiang unabashedly.

The implication is obvious.

I just felt that the money Xu Jiang spent on Su Mu this time was wasted.

There is really no need to waste 50 million on an actor.

Xu Jiang listened silently from behind.

He didn't refute.

In fact, he knew that it was just because of the previous incident that the partners and investors no longer had the same trust as before.

But this is understandable.

After all, this involves money, and no matter how rich the investor is, it is not something that can be squandered by the strong wind.

They also need a return on their investment.

But Xu Jiang does not regret choosing sumu.

If you want to bet, you have to bet big.

Xu Jiang smiled and completely ignored their doubts.

Instead, he walked towards Sumu.

Partner: "Huh, he has a stubborn temper. It's useless for anyone to say anything."

The investment representative chuckled: "Then let's see if his choice is worth the price in the end."

now,

Sumu is spinning in the maze of the tomb.

It is enhanced by the surrounding scenes.

Su Mu naturally fell into the role of Hu Bayi.

I thought of a scene in the script and jumped right into it.

"Search for the dragon and share the gold to see the mountains. Each mountain is a barrier..."

[Line proficiency +1]

[Behavioral Proficiency +1]

[Skill points +0.01...]

Su Mu looked around for the exit, looked up to the sky, and silently recited the line about looking for a dragon and exploring its cave.

The male protagonist Hu Bayi has a very special background. His ancestor is Mo Jin Xiaowei.

The "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" passed down from the family is actually the key to guide the male protagonist in exploring the secret.

"???"

At this moment, Su Mu was trying to blend in with the surrounding scene and simply understand the male protagonist's state of mind.

New proficiencies emerge.

Waterfalk?

The Sumu people were dumbfounded.

This proficiency made him somewhat confused.

What the hell is this?

You won’t really let yourself go to the liver!

This is illegal!

We are good citizens.
